"It's just that I didn't expect that on the way to the imperial city, I was thrown to Shiqing County by the master and his wife! I've been waiting in the city for more than a month, and I haven't seen your father come back to look for me! The money on his body was running out again, so he had no choice but to find a family in a nearby village to live temporarily. ”

"The waiters saw that I had been abandoned, and fled overnight with what little money was left! I'm pregnant with you nowhere, and I'm not long before I give birth! There is no silver and no place to live, how can I give birth to you! It just so happened that the chief said that I had no choice but to marry Li Shuncai. ”

"In the end, I couldn't stand your father, and I didn't defend my body for him." Wang Chuntao sighed softly.

Li Mumu thought to herself, it was the tragic love story of the young master and the maid again; Wang Chuntao was the one who was abandoned, but she felt that she owed the young master of the Li family, and she had suffered a lot of grievances for the sake of the child of the beloved man.

"Mother, you just said that your father's family is doing business in the imperial city, what kind of business do they do?" Li Mumu was afraid that Wang Chuntao would be sad, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Medicinal herbs!" Wang Chuntao replied: "Maybe it's blood nature!" Otherwise, how could you recognize so many medicinal herbs? ”

It turned out that the mother didn't doubt herself, thanks to this unmasked father, so that the mother found an excuse for herself.

"Then you didn't think about going to the Imperial City to find him?"

"Since they have all been left behind, why bother to embarrass him again. But Mu Mu, if possible, my mother still hopes that one day you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors! ”

Wang Chuntao was afraid that he would abandon himself at the beginning, and he also participated! But Mu Mu is the blood of the Li family in the end, and it is the best to be able to return to his own home.

Whether she recognizes her father or not is no different to Li Mumu, she just wants to find Li Wenbo now and ask him if his mother is infatuated with the wrong payment.

"Mother, I'm not going anywhere, I just want to be with you forever!" Li Mumu hugged Wang Chuntao's neck and sprinkled coquettishly.

"That's not good, I'll be with me forever and I'll be an old girl!" Knowing that Li Mumu was coaxing herself to be happy, Wang Chuntao also joked about her.

The mother and daughter laughed for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

......

I rested very late yesterday, but Li Mumu still got up early in the morning!

She has to go outside the city to collect medicine today, the rent is ten taels of silver a month, if she doesn't work hard, where will she get the income!

didn't run to Huafeng Village again, Li Mumu went out of the city and searched for it on the hillside in the suburbs......

"Looks like we'll have to go a little further tomorrow!" After a busy morning, Li Mumu didn't pick many herbs! Although it was early autumn, the sun was still very poisonous, Li Mumu wiped the sweat on his head and prepared to dry it again tomorrow.

When returning to the city, Li Mumu found that the number of refugees on the road had doubled compared to the previous days, which was not a good phenomenon.

Back at home, Li Mumu specially instructed Wang Chuntao and Yuan Ze not to go out if they can, and she would buy the necessities at home when she picked medicine every day.

In order to prevent them from being disobedient, Li Mumu also specially pulled a few pieces of cloth and asked Wang Chuntao to make a few new clothes for Yuan Ze at home. Wang Chuntao won't think about going out if he has something to do, and Yuan Ze can't run around as a model.

......

Things are getting earlier and earlier, and the development of the epidemic is faster than Li Mumu imagined.

On this day, she carried the herbs to the hospital in the west of the city to deliver the medicine! As soon as I entered the door, I saw several patients sitting in the hospital, and Steward Sun was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and when he saw Li Mumu coming in, he just said hello.

"Mu Mu is here! You sit by yourself for a while, and I'll talk about it later. ”

"It's okay, you're busy first!" Li Mumu let himself go to a corner to prevent everyone from causing trouble.

The patients in the room were sallow-faced, sweating profusely, but they couldn't help but tremble, and the doctors asked about their condition while calling their pulses.

One of them had been having diarrhea since last night, and ran to the latrine again while talking; The other person was unable to eat, and would vomit quickly if he ate anything. There is even one person who has the same symptoms as Yuan Ze's father that day, and he has fainted and is unable to speak.

Li Mumu thought to herself: "Why are there so many sick people all of a sudden?" ”

These doctors and medicine children do not take any protective measures, and they are the most vulnerable to infection because they are in close contact with patients.

Li Mumu didn't care about anything else, and walked up to Steward Sun and pulled him aside, who was busy with his work.

"Mu Mu~ I'll talk about it later, I'm busy here!" Steward Sun was about to withdraw his hand.

"I can't wait! Steward Sun, I suspect that these people are suffering from the plague..."Li Mumu lowered his voice and whispered in Steward Sun's ear.

"What?" Steward Sun was taken aback, "You... You mean..."

"Hmm!" Li Mumu gave Steward Sun an affirmative look, "A few days ago, I met a man infected with plague on the mountain road, and the symptoms were the same as him, and it passed in less than two hours. ”

Li Mumu pointed to the unconscious man on the ground and said to Steward Sun.

As if to verify Li Mumu's words, the man on the ground suddenly pulled out his whole body, foamed at the mouth, and finally kicked his legs and swallowed his last breath.

"It's... What can I do? "Steward Sun is a little flustered, these three people have been in this house for a long time, and the people in this house ......

"Don't worry, Steward Sun, it's not as serious as you think." Li Mumu said soothingly.

"So how?"

"Isolate those two patients first! As for this dead man, it is better to cremate it, and if the family does not agree, he will be buried today! The deeper you bury it, the better. As for the doctor and the medicine boy, let them wipe the places where they have been in contact with the patient with alcohol, prescribe themselves a few pairs of anti-epidemic medicines by the way, and then isolate them separately, as long as they do not get sick for a few days, they can confirm that they are not infected. ”

"How do you know so much?" Steward Sun listened to Li Mumu's arrangement in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but ask.

"I learned from books." Li Mumu dismissed it with a word.

Steward Sun actually asked casually, and he hurried to arrange these things now.

The refugees who had been stopped outside the city by the county magistrate a few days earlier, and it stands to reason that there should not be an epidemic in the city, but why not only that, but also three at the same time?

Li Mumu didn't have time to investigate this, and it was estimated that the county magistrate didn't know about the epidemic in the city! She had to hurry up and inform the county magistrate that she couldn't solve this matter alone.

When the epidemic is raging in the city, it will really be out of control.

Li Mumu glanced at Steward Sun, who was busy with work, and turned around to go to the yamen, she had better inform the county magistrate of this matter as soon as possible.

As soon as Li Mumu walked to the door of the yamen and was about to beat the drum, he saw Liu Yueluo coming out of the yamen......
