The woman led the people on another journey, explaining all the things, such as eating, sleeping, taking shifts, and so on, and there were many rules, such as not to walk around, what errands were obtained, where to go, where to go, and after receiving errands, she would be given wooden signs, with which she could walk in certain places in the camp, and so on.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, at last they came to a house, and the woman told them to wait outside, and she could go in, and in a few moments she brought out a man dressed in the uniform of a yamen officer, and he came out, and said a few words to them, and asked a few questions, and then he sent them one by one.

Aunt Tian has never seen a few serious officials in her life, this one is already extremely powerful in her heart, she heard his assignment, so she stood aside and listened, did not dare to speak, did not even dare to raise her head, and heard that some of her peers were temporarily sent to light the fire, some were temporarily sent to pack medicine, and some were temporarily sent to deliver medicine, all of them received errands and left, leaving only themselves.

Finally the officer asked her, "I have heard that your son is in this camp too?" ”

Aunt Tian sighed, and hurriedly raised her head and responded: "My son's surname is Zheng!" ”

Her sons don't have big names, so so she told her son's hometown, nickname, and age.

The officer nodded, told the woman to lead her into the house, and groped over the bookcase on the back wall, and took a booklet.

Aunt Tian held her breath and watched him start to flip from the middle, flipping while confirming with herself.

After a while, he pointed to one of the lines and asked, "Is your son from Yongzhou City in mid-February?" ”

Aunt Tian nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, February 12!" ”

The messenger said, "He is now in room B, and he will send you to the camp in the next two days." ”

Aunt Tian almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and she didn't even remember how many times she thanked her, but she only knew that she was taken out of the door by the woman.

Although she had her son in her heart, she had eaten a bowl of brown rice arranged by the camp in the evening, and although there were still chopped vegetable leaves and a bowl of soup with only a little smell of meat, she had already licked the bowl clean, and for a while she forgot why she came here.

- She hadn't eaten real rice for many days, and she drank water and porridge so much that her stomach was empty.

When the swallowing was finished, the night was divided into quarters, and the six of us slept in a room, in which there were two large bunks, and there were covers, sheltered from the wind and rain, clean and clean, although simple, but there were everything.

Early the next morning, she followed her roommate to the B-shaped camp, and was divided into a small half of the camp in front of her, and a large bucket of powder and a bucket of grass blades.

She was accompanied by ten women of similar age, one of whom pointed to the black-gray powder and explained, "This is the ashes of the mirage, clean them and sprinkle them in the corners to keep fleas and lice." ”

He pointed to the bucket of grass blades and said, "This is a mixture of mugwort leaves, realgar, and duckweed, and the room must be dyed once a day." ”

Aunt Tian didn't know what a mirage was, but she was embarrassed to ask, so she only answered twice, followed the man into a room, and learned from her to sweep the two rooms.

At this time, the room was empty, and the man could get in, first opened the door and bed, and waited until the air was dissipated for a while, and then began to clean from the corner, while sweeping, while Tongtian Aunt said: "The doctor is every day at this hour to diagnose the patients in this camp, at this time the people in the room are all out of the door, we must sweep faster, otherwise when the people come back, it will not be so cheap to do things." ”

Aunt Tian hurriedly responded and followed the cleaning, but in her heart, she wanted to sweep slower, just waiting for her son to come back.

After more than two hours had passed when all the houses had been properly arranged, everyone had come out of the houses and handed signs to the soldiers at the door, and as soon as the door opened, they saw several groups of people in the distance coming to this place.

The men were all dressed in loose coarse cloth shirts, dressed exactly the same, and even the shoes they were wearing on their feet—Aunt Tian recognized that this was the clothes that the woman had seen in the camp during the day, and said that they were clothes for the sick.

The collar of the clothes on which they wore was green, indicating that they were in good health, and if there were no accidents, they would be able to leave the camp after living in the camp for half a month.

Aunt Tian took a few steps out of the way, stood still on the spot, and only looked into the crowd.

Everyone who traveled with her knew that her son was inside, and they didn't stop it, but they all stood still, waiting for her to find it slowly.

After all, Aunt Tian is old, not very competent, waiting for people to go in one by one, but she didn't find it for a long time, she was looking for it with her eyes wide open, and suddenly heard that it was just a few steps away, and someone exclaimed: "Mother, why are you!" Why are you here! ”

She heard the voice familiarly, who was not the youngest child in the family, and hurriedly followed the sound to find it, and sure enough, she saw her son standing opposite, his appearance had not changed at all, and his spirit was not bad.

Aunt Tian was surprised and delighted, she couldn't even speak, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by her companions, and said: "Today we are sprinkling, we can't get close to them, and in two days you will take the turn of the caretaker to look for your son!" You will be able to say as much as you want! ”

Sure enough, he pulled her away.

Aunt Tian looked back at her son as she walked, and exclaimed, "Son, your daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy for you!" It's good for both of you to be a mother! ”

But I heard the other party shouting: "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry, the doctor said that I will be able to leave the camp in a few days!" ”

The two of them called at each other from here.

On the opposite side, there was a group of sick people who let out a low, good-natured cheer and laughter.

It wasn't until she walked far away and couldn't see clearly anymore that Aunt Tian was reluctant to turn back.

The person next to her comforted her and said: "It's okay, after two days to re-arrange, you will be scheduled to do care, but after the care, you have to stop for a day before you can re-arrange the rest to do." ”

Aunt Tian saw that her son was safe and sound, and she had already put her heart back in her stomach, although she was anxious to find an opportunity for the mother and son to talk together, she was no longer as flustered as before, and thanked everyone again and again.

When she came back to her senses, she suddenly remembered what the woman had said during the day, that if she had time to do the rest of the needlework, she would be paid by the piece, except for all these arranged errands.

Aunt Tian's son has already seen it, and after doing a long day errand, he feels that he is not particularly tired, thinking that when he can go out, not to mention that it is too late to replant the field, and then to say that the field is still in the hands of others, it is better to work hard in the camp for a few more days, save some money to go out, and also help his son and daughter-in-law save some effort, so he will talk to the people next to him.

I don't know if I don't ask, but when I ask, I know that these are all relatives in the family who have fallen ill with epidemics, so they came to take care of them.
