"Yes, willing," Yang Meimei took two steps forward, and only took out a sincere heart to show her, "Don't say a few, even hundreds or tens of thousands of pieces I am willing!" ”

The corners of Dou Qingshuang's lips hooked, and her face softened a little, "Are you familiar with this mountain?" ”

"Familiar," Yang Meimei nodded, her face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed, "In winter, there is no extra rice and grain at home, so Daddy will take me and my second brother up the mountain to find some wild vegetables and game to satisfy our hunger." Later, Daddy's leg was injured, and I was worried that my second brother would be injured when he went up the mountain, so I came by myself all the year round. ”

"Well, you brought us to your village, and every day, you came back with ten herbs for me." Dou Qingshuang looked into her eyes, "Drying, grinding, scattering and bottling every morning, don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes, you can do it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Yang Meimei couldn't wait, "I have been helping the family labor since I was a child, and I am most suitable for the rough work, and my sister is relieved to leave it to me." ”

Drying medicine, grinding, although it sounds simple, but the most need for people's hearts, a bifurcation, will be wasted. However, you may be able to take advantage of this opportunity and get away from here.

Dou Qingshuang glanced at the two people standing not far away. Xiao Qiyuan was wrinkling his brows to deal with the pheasant that was hit, and Zhao Yu was mocking him for his pretentiousness, and the two were still so wrong.

A few people rested for a while, Dou Qingshuang and others followed Yang Meimei out of the mountain, Xiao Qiyuan bought an ox cart at the bottom of the mountain, and a few people sat on the grass pile and traveled east along Zhuohuai Mountain.

As the sky grew dark, they finally came to Tongcun, surrounded by mountains and swaying in the wind, separating the village from the outside world.

Dou Qingshuang jumped out of the ox cart, and not far away, he could vaguely see soldiers wearing long knives huddled together for fun, and two bonfires reflected red light all around.

"You can't leave here," Yang Meimei grabbed Dou Qingshuang and hid behind the long-tailed grass on the side, looking nervous, "The official master was worried that the people in the village would be disobedient and run out, so he gave an order, and once he found out, he would be fined three taels of silver." ”

That is undoubtedly a sky-high price for their ordinary people, and if they have no money, they have to go to the army. The two younger brothers are too young, and pulling them out is tantamount to sending them to death!

Zhao Yu sneered, "This official is a little interesting." ”

Greedy is blatant and mad.

Yang Meimei took a few people into the jungle and found an extremely difficult wild road, and found a rotting corpse on the way, which frightened Yang Meimei almost exclaimed, but for a moment, Yang Meimei felt that the corpse was very familiar, took a closer look, and cried, "It's Brother Erniu." Ten days ago, he told me to go out to find something to eat, and then I never saw him again, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect....how will this Erniu's aunt live! ”

Zhao Yu raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose and approached Dou Qingshuang, "But what you said about dying from the epidemic?" ”

Dou Qingshuang nodded slightly.

Ecchymosis, cyanosis, and necrosis can be clearly seen on the skin of the corpse that has not completely decomposed, and there are large black lump marks on the clothes, which are clearly caused by extensive skin bleeding.

Presumably, these two cows realized that they were sick and couldn't bear to affect their old mother, so they lied to Yang Meimei and said that they were looking for food, but in fact, they were looking for a place to die.

Dou Qingshuang's gaze fell on the wrist of the corpse, but there were several circles of dark blood marks on the wrist, and the direction of the legs and feet was also very human, and the death was very strange.

"It's pathetic." Xiao Qiyuan felt that the scene in front of him was too tragic, and he turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Yang Meimei cried for a while, became more and more concerned about her family, and eagerly led everyone to sneak towards a remote village, turning into a courtyard from an extremely dilapidated road.

The yard was in ruins, the utensils for loading crops were scattered everywhere, the roof was a thick haystack, and the walls of the house were leaking.

A thin little child, dressed in a wide old coat and hugging a jar with a missing mouth, staggered out, carefully squatted down, and poured the blackened sewage from the jar into the yard.

"Three Treasures!" Yang Meimei's voice was hoarse, and she ran over and hugged the little child in her arms, crying bitterly.

"Sister, sister?" Yang Sanbao raised his head hard, and an extremely bright smile appeared on his sick and weak yellow face, but the next second he cried out, "Where have you been!" Daddy, Daddy said you died, I don't believe it, Sister, you scared me to death....."

The more the sister and brother cried, the more fierce they became, and a weak voice came from the house, "Ami, is Ami back?" The voice turned to crying, "Ami, my poor child, my poor daughter! ”

"A-Niang," Yang Meimei wiped her tears, ran over and knelt in front of Dou Qingshuang, "Sister Qingshuang, please, save my father and aunt." ”

Yang Sanbao found that there were other people in the courtyard, his big eyes were full of doubts and curiosity, his eyes turned between the three of them, and ran behind Yang Meimei, "Sister, are these immortals?" ”

Yang Meimei nodded while crying.

Dou Qingshuang turned his head to look at the two people behind him, "In order to avoid infection, the two of you still don't want to go in with me." ”

Xiao Qiqi had this intention and nodded busily.

Seeing the corpse in the mountains and forests had already brought him a great shadow, if it weren't for the fact that the forbidden army hadn't found it yet, he wouldn't have been willing to follow Dou Qingshuang to this courtyard at all.

Women are trouble, there will be a lot of unnecessary bodhisattvas in vain, and it would be good for them to return to the capital as soon as possible after leaving the mountain, why did they come to such a dangerous place?

Xiao Qiyuan's face gradually became gloomy.

"Little radish, come here," Zhao Yu's face didn't look any different, and he took out a chicken leg from his cuff, "Say something you're interested in, and this chicken leg will be given to you." ”

Yang Sanbao's saliva came out all of a sudden.

……

……

Inside the house.

Mother Yang, who was lying on the tattered bed, saw Yang Meimei, her crying voice was hoarse, and when she stretched out her arm, Yang Meimei immediately threw herself into Mother Yang's arms and cried bitterly.

The lame father Yang sat on the kang at the other end, holding an equally thin child in his arms, his face was pale, he tried to open his eyes, his lips moved, as if he was calling his sister.

There was no decent furniture in the room, the only table was missing a leg, leaning against the wall, and on the table was a notched empty bowl that smelled of herbs.

Dou Qingshuang walked over, dipped his fingers in some herbs at the bottom of the bowl and sniffed them, his face was slightly gloomy.

There are only three kinds of herbs in the herbal residue, such as wild chrysanthemum, ground ding, and dandelion, which are the most common heat-clearing and detoxifying tea, and the amount of medicine is insufficient, so it can only resist the wind and cold.

Dou Qingshuang's hand was grabbed by Yang Meimei and pulled in front of Yang's mother, "Auntie, my illness was cured by Sister Qingshuang!" Tell her to show you! ”

Mother Yang opened her cloudy eyes, and saw that the girl in front of her was extremely thin, and her age seemed to be about the same as her daughter, so she was dumb for a while, and looked at Yang's father.

Father Yang felt deeply embarrassed, and felt that his daughter was sick and confused, how could such a little girl be cured? But it was not easy to refute her daughter's face, so she had to change the topic and said: "Ami, don't worry, the official doctor said that your aunt's illness does not need to be treated, and it will be fine in a few days, Erbao also drank the medicine, and it is estimated that it will be fine in a few days!" ”

As for his daughter's illness inexplicably, Father Yang thought that it was probably because his daughter was only affected by Gu that she would have a state of fake illness, and if she didn't contact them, she would get better after going out for a few days!

As for the girl in front of her......

Father Yang didn't think about it deeply, so he had to say: "This girl is probably thirsty and hungry, and there is still some rice grain at home, you can take it and cook some rice porridge." ”

The family has not opened the pot for several days, Yang Erbao, who was lying in Father Yang's arms, his eyes widened, revealing a look of longing, seeing him so energetic, Father Yang was extremely happy.

Doctor Guan's words are right, in a few days, their family will be almost fine!

The Yang family is a good-hearted family, Dou Qingshuang retracted her gaze, turned around and walked out of the house, Yang Meimei was in a hurry, left her family and chased her out, and took her hand, "Sister Qingshuang, yes, I'm sorry!" Daddy and Auntie don't mean that, they just haven't seen it, don't be like them, you must save them! ”

For the sake of the official doctor's medicine, everything that the family can sell has been sold, but there is still a period of radical cure, and the money for the medicine during this period of time, they have cost the lives of the whole family, and it is impossible to make it up.

However, in two days, her condition has basically improved, her whole body has strength, and she feels that she has never felt comfortable on the stone wall, which makes Yang Meimei firmly believe that the people in the village are suffering from the epidemic, and it is not what the official doctor said at all.

"Do you remember those herbs?" Dou Qingshuang didn't answer her words, faintly, as if the other party didn't take what the Yang family said to heart, "Can you fry it?" ”

"Remember, remember!" Yang Meimei hurriedly took out a few herbs from her cuffs, "I will keep what Sister Qingshuang said in my heart, as long as I see these herbs on the road, I will pick them and collect them." ”

"According to my frying method, fry it for your parents," Dou Qingshuang rolled up her sleeves, squatted down, and looked at the place where Yang Erbao had just poured the sewage, "After boiling, three meals will be served." ”

Yang Meimei hurriedly went.

Mother Yang watched her daughter busy from the window, and couldn't bear it, so she said to Father Yang who was sitting on the bed: "Wrongdoer, you say, what can I do?" ”

"Let her toss, it's also a piece of filial piety." Father Yang gently patted Yang Erbao's back and wiped the sweat from his forehead for him, "That little girl is afraid that she also fled, in order to fill her stomach The poor child, what she says, we will listen." But in two days, the medicine of the official doctor will be delivered, and the ten strings of copper coins at home are still ready? ”

"Hey, it's all here!" Mother Yang squatted down, lifted a stone under the corner of the table, carefully dug out a gray package, and showed a smile on her face, "Last time, the official doctor said that Erbao can be cured with a bowl of medicine." ”

"Good, good!" Father Yang wiped his tears, he suddenly felt a strange itch on his neck, stretched out his hand and scratched it, the itch was unbearable in an instant, and it was accompanied by a foul smell, he desperately endured it, his expression was as usual, "Hide it, Sanbao is naughty, and will hide it in other places." ”

As she was talking, Yang Meimei walked in with a decoction, she was sweating profusely, although her face was thin, her complexion was slightly ruddy, "Daddy, Auntie, come and drink the medicine!" ”

"Okay, okay, you put it there," Mother Yang hurriedly brought the medicine bowl over, and touched Yang Meimei's face distressedly, "My Ami has worked hard, the girl you brought is afraid that she is hungry, you hurry up and cook some food for her!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Meimei smiled, turned around and ran out.

It wasn't until Yang Meimei's figure disappeared into the kitchen that Yang's mother sighed, glanced at Yang's father, turned around and poured the Chinese medicine into the crack in the corner.
