After thinking about it for a while, Fu Duoduo knew that this matter of living in peace could not be done in a day or two, and this matter had to be calculated with Yu Shiyi to see what his opinion was.

All in all, it's a tedious and not easy thing to do.

Thinking of this, Fu Duoduo thought of the culprit who caused the old man to flee.

They said that it was because of the natural disaster in their hometown, the crops were not harvested, and then they encountered a heavy flood, which made the drinking water source unclean, and the villagers suffered from dysentery one after another, and finally tragedy occurred.

If so, how extensive will the affected area be?

Fu Duoduo knows that in this era of backward technology, the people rely on the sky for food, and a small dysentery can kill a large number of people.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Fu Duoduo hurriedly found the young woman who remained in the Zhuangzi.

The young woman's husband's surname was Zheng, and the eldest ones called her Zheng's daughter-in-law, and the old man was the most prestigious of the dozen or so people. However, he is kind and likes to call himself Old Man Zheng, and that's what the big guy is called.

Zheng's daughter-in-law was nervous, her hands couldn't stop pulling the corners of her clothes, and she stood in the corner tremblingly, not knowing what Fu Duoduo was looking for her.

Seeing Zheng's daughter-in-law's panic, Fu Duoduo smiled gently and asked her to sit down, and let Chun Fu serve tea and snacks, and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, I didn't come to you for other things, I just wanted to ask you about the disaster situation there and find out." ”

Check it out? Haven't you asked it before?

Zheng's daughter-in-law was full of incomprehension and confusion, but she was even more at a loss than Shicai.

She stammered and asked, "Auntie...... Auntie, what do you want to know? Just ask. Before her father-in-law Zheng left Zhuangzi, he repeatedly told her that her aunt and grandmother were their life-saving benefactors, and they should be treated as respectfully as a bodhisattva, without a trace of sloppiness.

Fu Duoduo thought for a moment and asked, "Has your village and the surrounding areas been affected?" ”

Daughter-in-law Zheng nodded without hesitation.

Fu Duoduo asked again: "Since the disaster is so serious, has your government there not done anything?" ”

It stands to reason that if several people from several villages died, the government should report to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allocate funds to prevent the spread of the disaster in time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fu Duoduo's words came out, Zheng's daughter-in-law's eyes were red, her face was full of unwillingness and anger, and she gritted her teeth and accused: "Auntie, you don't know." The emperor is far away, and our villages are in remote corners, who will notice our life or death? It wasn't until the whole village was sick and died, and no one from the government came, that it was because we had no choice but to leave our hometown and go to a foreign land to earn a living. Probably thinking of the sad place, Zheng's daughter-in-law's tears couldn't stop rolling down, and the bean-sized tears quickly wet the placket.

Hearing Zheng's daughter-in-law say this, Fu Duoduo lowered his eyelids and pondered.

If this is the case, it seems that the local officials did not know about it at all, or they knew about it, reported it, and got the money, but they filled their own pockets and did not intend to issue it, causing the epidemic to get worse and worse, and so many people died later.

Fu Duoduo waited for Zheng's daughter-in-law's mood to stabilize, and then asked, "Have you seen other refugees all the way here?" Or, in the town where you live, has the dysentery spread out and is it serious? ”

Zheng's daughter-in-law wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Yes, and there are a lot." ”

Hearing this, Fu Duoduo stood up "Teng", his hands trembled a little, and asked, "Is it serious?" You've met people who have fled along the way? ”

Zheng's daughter-in-law was a little timid, and when she saw Fu Duoduo like this, her voice trembled even more, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes, we fled all the way from the north to here, and met many other refugees, until we approached this town, it gradually decreased. Before, you don't know, some people are so hungry that they are easy to eat, and the scene is very ......" At this point, Zheng's daughter-in-law couldn't say anything and fell silent.

Fu Duoduo understood, and his expression was very solemn.

She waved her hand and asked Zheng's daughter-in-law to go back, while she went back to the inner room.

Seeing that Fu Duoduo was like this, Bi Tao hurriedly followed up, and asked worriedly, "Grandma, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Fu Duoduo sighed and said with great certainty: "In my opinion, this plague will soon spread to us, and we must prepare in advance. ”

Hearing Fu Duoduo say this, Bi Tao's eyes widened, her face was full of disbelief, and she said after a long time: "How is it possible? After finishing speaking, Bi Tao thought about what happened to Zheng's daughter-in-law's family, and what she just said about fleeing along the way, and had to believe Fu Duoduo's judgment, maybe there was really a catastrophe waiting for them.

She knew that the plague was a terrible thing, and every time it came, it would kill and hurt a lot.

"So what are we going to do?" Bi Tao asked.

Fu Duoduo took paper, ink, pen and inkstone to himself, picked up the pen and began to write.

Seeing this, Bi Tao came over and asked, "What are you writing about?" ”

Fudodo wrote and said: "I have to tell the young master about the situation here, so that he can prepare early, such as food, medicinal materials, etc., we have to purchase some in advance, in case that time comes, we can also protect ourselves, and if we have a surplus, we can also help others." Speaking of this, Fu Duoduo thought of the situation of this Zhuangzi again, she said to Bi Tao: "We don't know when we will be able to return to Yufu, Zhuangzi's food must be enough to prepare, you let Hongmei talk to Chen's mother, let her prepare more food, if you ask, don't tell her the truth, just say that there are so many old men Chen, they have to eat, and let her keep quiet, after all, this matter is just my guess, I am afraid that if I think wrong, it will cause unnecessary panic among everyone, On the contrary, it has affected the prices of grain stores and pharmacies. ”

Bi Tao knew the seriousness of this matter, and nodded cautiously to go down and do it.

By the time Bi Tao returned, Fu Duoduo had already written the letter, put it in an envelope, and was sealing wax.

Fu Duoduo handed the letter to Bi Tao and confessed: "You give this letter to the Bao guard, let him hurry overnight, and be sure to deliver it to the young master in person tonight, without a quarter of an hour of delay." ”

Bi Tao, who had just come back, immediately turned around and left, and went to find the Bao guard without a little delay.

Fu Duoduo sat on the big kang near the window, thinking carefully about where he still had not done everything and was not in place.

Yu Shiyi of Yufu also sat on the big kang near the window in the inner room, lowered his eyelids, frowned tightly, thinking about things, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, his brows were about to knot, that is, when Dr. Li entered the house, came to his side, and sat opposite him, he didn't notice it at all.

Dr. Li felt strange and couldn't help coughing lightly.

Yu Shiyi woke up like a dream, smiled awkwardly at Dr. Li, and asked, "When did you come?" ”

Dr. Li looked at Yu Shiyi playfully and said, "It's been a while, what are you thinking, thinking so distractedly, are you thinking about someone?" ”

This person, without any surprises, of course, refers to Fu Duoduo.

Yu Shiyi, who was told the central matter, had a suspicious red on his face, coughed a few times as a cover-up, and said with a hard mouth: "Of course not, I'm just curious why the second aunt didn't move, and the third aunt is too, surprisingly quiet, not like their style." And the eldest lady, she doesn't seem to be right, doesn't she want to come out? The only thing that is more normal is the fifth aunt, who competes for favor every day, pulling the eldest master to her house. Speaking of this, Yu Shiyi's eyes flashed with a little disdain.

This man also showed deep affection for Yu Shiyi's mother some time ago, and not long after, under the tender offensive of the fifth aunt, he fell, and stayed in the fifth aunt's house day and night, showing infinite love for the fifth aunt, which made the second aunt blush, but she didn't make any moves.

In this regard, Yu Shiyi felt very painful.

This woman's heart is really a needle under the sea, what is the second aunt thinking?

If it had been placed in the past, the second aunt would have already been slapped in the face, and the fifth aunt would have been taught a good lesson, where would it be her turn to be wild?

Doctor Li said: "Maybe the second aunt feels that the fifth aunt is not afraid because of the trump card of Miss Zhu San, so she is so relieved!" Your marriage with Miss Zhu San is coming soon, and when she is busy now, she doesn't have the heart to fight for anything. Anyway, with Miss Zhu San, and then wait for her to give birth to a son and a half daughter, who can match her in this backyard? ”

Yu Shiyi thought about it and felt that it was.

However, the confidence of this second aunt is too sufficient, whether she has a child or not is not something that Miss Zhu San can say alone, without his cooperation, can Miss Zhu San succeed?

While the two were talking, Wen Zhu came in in a hurry, made a casual salute, and said breathlessly: "Less...... Young master, it's not good, my lord, he fainted in the fifth aunt's room, and it seems that the situation is very bad. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shiyi and Dr. Li were stunned.

However, soon, Yu Shiyi, who came back to his senses, snorted coldly and asked disdainfully, "What?" Is he a peony flower who dies, and is he a ghost? ”

Doctor Li looked at Yu Shiyi disapprovingly and said, "After all, it's your father, and it's not good for outsiders to hear it." ”

Yu Shiyi said: "Since he has done it, he should know the consequences." As he spoke, he ignored Dr. Li and instructed Wen Zhu: "Go and invite the best doctor in the town, and you must be able to speak well, so as not to invite a dumb doctor, take the pulse, and still can't tell the condition." ”

This best doctor is Dr. Li in front of him, Wen Zhu knows that the young master is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he wants to reveal the fact that the master fainted in the fifth aunt's room, so that everyone knows, and then ruin the reputation of the master, although the idea is good, but is this appropriate?
