Chapter Seventy-Seven: Commemorating the Retrograde Under the Epidemic

The day after Sun Hulu and Su Yuanzhu left, Bai Ningping took Zheng Xiu to the door to thank him, but this did not prevent Bai Ningping from being grateful to Sun Hulu, at that time he felt that the sky had fallen, and even the village chief was helpless, but fortunately Sun Hulu stepped forward, this kindness, he remembered it for a lifetime.

At this time, Sun Hulu didn't know that this move directly allowed her to include the god of war Du Feizhou in the prince's camp in the future, like a tiger with wings.

"Young Master, what do you want to eat today?" The two walked all the way to the west, and before they knew it, they came to the border of Hubei.

"I've heard that the hot dry noodles here are particularly famous, why don't we try them?" Su Yuanzhu thought of the customs and customs in the vicinity that he had read and written before.

"Okay, when I learn it, I'll go home and make it for you." Sun Hulu let Songzhi drive the carriage into the city, and what was surprising was that it was Hanyang City, the center of the city, but there were few people on the street, only a few small vendors.

Sun Hulu said curiously: "Why are there so few people here?"

"The girl doesn't know that there is a plague outbreak here that has infected tens of thousands of people, especially in the villages outside the city, and many people have died. Fortunately, our Great Qi National Sage is wise, and he has transferred doctors and medicinal materials from all over the country, as well as imperial doctors to sit for consultation. Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Hanyang City will not be able to be saved. A small vendor said familiarly.

Sun Hulu chuckled, "Infectious disease? ”

"Yes, now that the prefect of Hanyang has separated all the sick and potentially sick people separately, it is time for you to come, our imperial doctor of the Great Qi Kingdom has just controlled the condition, if you come earlier, I am afraid you will not be able to enter the city."

"It's so serious, why haven't we heard a little news there?" Sun Hulu asked curiously.

"In the past, when there was a plague, it was first blocked, and then treated, I'm afraid that at the beginning, Hanyang City was blocked." Su Yuanzhu had been in Fucheng and knew a little more things.

"Little lady, do you want to try my hot dry noodles here? This is the most authentic hot dry noodle we have here. The vendor greeted warmly.

"Hot dry noodles? Okay, okay, bring me six bowls. When Sun Hulu heard that it was food, he was so happy that he didn't eat after a long day.

"Okay, the little lady can put the carriage in the alley over there first, there is a table over there, you can sit casually." As soon as the vendors heard that they wanted six servings, they came to business, and God knows, during the plague, they did not die of the plague but almost starved to death. No, as soon as the prefect said that he could go out of the stall, he hurried out, and he could earn as much as he could.

Sun Hulu helped Su Yuanzhu get out of the carriage and sat on the small square table, while Songzhi was holding a bowl of noodles and eating by the carriage.

"Then when you locked down the city, didn't the price of food rise wildly?" Su Yuanzhu asked.

"Rise, why hasn't it risen, the original brown rice of six wen a pound rose to sixty wen, but fortunately, the prefect beat the merchant who raised the price, and then there was no price increase.

I heard that in order for us to be able to eat here, the saint also specially asked many places to donate money and grain to us, and I also received vegetables donated to me from Shandong a while ago. The cabbage was as smart as an eighteen-year-old girl.

I remember that in the previous dynasty, when there was a plague, the village was burned, and those Tartars, they also had a plague, but they slaughtered all the infected people, and afterwards they even cheered that they defeated the plague, don't you say it's funny? ”

Sun Hulu didn't hear anything else during the meal, so he listened to the small vendors singing praises to the motherland, so he almost sang a song.

"How was the plague discovered?" Matsueda asked curiously.

"Haha, speaking of which, I have to say that we have a clever plan here, Mr. Muzi, Mr. Muzi's words are bright. He was the first to discover the plague and then reported it to our prefect, which attracted the attention of the court, so that the plague did not spread.

I heard that this plague has something to do with some people eating wild beasts in the mountains and forests, in fact, we usually eat chicken, duck and fish meat, but there are always some people who do not believe in evil, but want to eat things in the deep mountains and old forests, so where is it so easy to eat in the deep mountains and old forests.

There's no retribution for this, is it? If you hurt yourself, you hurt others! The vendor was quite embarrassed when he talked about this.

"I don't know how to get to the yamen of your mansion?" Sun Hulu was quite moved by the small vendor's words and wanted to donate some silver.

"I followed the street all the way to the end, and I saw it." Sun Hulu thanked the vendor, then paid the silver, and walked to the mansion with Su Yuanzhu.

"What? Why are you going to go to the government? Su Yuanzhu smiled and said, "Let me guess, you must want to donate the money you got from today's robbery to those patients, right?" ”

Sun Hulu nodded and shook his head, "I do want to donate the money, but I want to donate it to those doctors." People are born to promote good and avoid evil, and whoever encounters danger does not run far away, but these doctors who save lives and help the wounded, they go against the flow of people and move forward bravely. Not only do I want to donate the money I robbed, but I also want to donate a little more, so that I can cook them a few delicious meals. ”

Su Yuanzhu nodded, "Then donate it all, just leave us enough to eat." ”

Sun Hulu smiled and said, "Young Master is so good! Don't worry, young master, I won't starve you, if you really don't have any money, I will go as a coolie to support you. ”

"The young master can write, where can you feed him, the young master can copy books to feed my gourd." Su Yuanzhu pecked at Sun Hulu lightly and said with a smile.

When he came to the palace, the whole government was busy, and Songzhi got out of the carriage and walked to a messenger and said, "Please ask, where can we donate some silver taels if we want to donate some silver taels to the plague doctor?" ”

The official pointed to the long line over there and said, "Line up at the back." Those are here to donate money and goods. Matsueda was stunned and lined up to donate.

"Young master, young lady, I'm afraid we have to wait, everyone here is queuing up to donate money and materials, and I also saw that the small vendor just now picked up a lot of hot dry noodles and came over. Look at the uncle over there, he looks like a poor man, and he is holding two Chinese cabbages. ”

Su Yuanzhu and Sun Hulu were shocked when they saw this scene, it turned out that they could really support one side in trouble and all sides. It turns out that our relatives are far more than those who are related by blood, and those who are in the same country as us, they are all our relatives.

In the cold and bitter winter, I am willing to give everything I have and tide over the difficulties with you.

Soon, it was the turn of Sun Hulu and Su Yuanzhu in the team, Sun Hulu came out this time with a total of 18,000 taels of silver, and Master Su and Mrs. Su were worried about the two children, so they gave them silver money.

Sun Hulu only left 1,000 taels, and the remaining 17,000 taels were all handed over to the prefect of the government, "Thank you for the girl's generosity, I don't know where the girl's family lives, what is the name of the head of the family?" When the epidemic passes, we will engrave our names on the merit tablet. ”

"We are not from here, we just passed by by by chance, and we did our best, this is a little bit of my father-in-law Su Yuanzhu's heart, he wants to use all this silver for those doctors who are saving lives and helping the wounded, give them better food, warm clothes, and settle their families."

Sun Hulu didn't want to leave a name, but when she heard that the prefect would carve a merit tablet, she changed her mind and reported Su Yuanzhu's name, so she should give the prime minister a blessing.
