"You're mistaken, we're okay." Before he could wait for a small reply, Tie Zhu opened his mouth first, and his tone was cold and emotionless.

Chu Chu walked out of the side room, hugged Xu Xiaoxiao's thigh with a milky voice and said, "I'm hungry." ”

"Right away, the eldest lady will get you food right away." When the eldest lady heard that Chu Chu was hungry, she clapped her hands and walked out with a smile.

Wang Cui was at a loss for what to say, said hello, and returned to the side room to take care of Dandan.

Only Chu Qing, Wang Duo, Xu Xiaoxiao and Chu Chu were left in the lobby, and several people sat on the stools with their own thoughts, and no one wanted to speak first.

"What are you going to do about the current situation?" Xu Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that the sky was dark, they had been out for a day and a night, and if they didn't hurry up to deal with the current matter, they were afraid that Liu Dahua would be worried in the camp, and they didn't know what the current situation was in Liujia Village.

Smallpox spreads so quickly that if the villagers of Liujia Village were to be infected without their knowledge, the entire village would be in danger.

"Ten years ago, smallpox also occurred in Anle Town, but it was a small area of infection, and when it was discovered, the patient was treated in time and the large-scale infection was stopped." Chu Qing touched the teacup and said in a low voice.

Such a large-scale infection is also his first contact, ten years ago, he had the right to speak and dominate the yamen, but now he is no longer as majestic as he used to be, but he is afraid that the magistrate who is high and low will not easily listen to his instructions.

"The most important thing now is the magistrate of Anle Town, can you call it?" Xu Xiaoxiao is most concerned about the problem of manpower, as long as there are enough manpower, it is not difficult to deal with it.

"With this king here, they don't dare to make a mistake." Chu Qing pondered for a moment and replied, his fists clenched slightly.

"Then arrange for people to distinguish the refugees outside the city, divide the infected and uninfected people into two groups, and then send people to test the people in the city and check out the people who are suspected of being infected." Xu Xiaoxiao laid out the plan in one go.

"Well, that's a good plan." Chu Qing looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and nodded slightly.

"But... How can we distinguish between infected and uninfected people? There are only a few doctors in the city, and there are so many people and refugees that I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it. Chu Qing said.

Xu Xiaoxiao took out a piece of measuring paper from his cuff, "This is a paper that can detect smallpox, just put it in your mouth to identify it." "

Chu Qing took the test paper with a suspicious look on his face, and looked at the paper in his hand, "A piece of paper can be distinguished?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Xiaoxiao was powerless to make excuses for why this test paper could identify smallpox infected people, and replied at will.

"The next step is to use the people in the city to make protective tents, masks, covers, etc." Xu Xiaoxiao dipped in tea and drew a mask pattern on the table.

"We can help with that." Wang Cui had been listening to the conversation in the lobby in the house, and when she heard that she needed manpower, she rushed out of the house and recommended herself.

"We're all doing manual work, girl, you just have to tell us how to do it."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded at Wang Cui with a smile on her face, "We have all tested the villagers of Liujia Village, and they have not been infected with smallpox, their women can also go into the city to help, and the men can assist the government to test together." ”

She took the opportunity to recommend the villagers of Liujia Village to participate together, so that she could get a chance to stay in the city and rest when the matter was over.

The number of refugees outside the city is so large that it is impossible to accommodate all the refugees into the city, and perhaps some of them will be persuaded to return, or they will enter in batches, either way is an adventure for Liujia Village.

"Yes." Chu Qing thought about it and agreed to Xu Xiao's suggestion.

It was completely dark, and the candle flame was lit in the house, and under the faint candle flame, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the dishes on the table, swallowed her saliva, and she had never eaten anything since eating a bowl of wonton in the morning.

Chu Qing and Wang Duo sat around the table with them at the strong request of the eldest mother, the eldest lady carefully fed Chu Chu in the bowl with the dishes, and Tie Zhu refused to be fed by others, holding long chopsticks and struggling to hold the dishes.

Wang Cui returned to the side room because she had to take care of the eggs and vegetables, and the eldest lady glanced at Tiezhu and then looked at Chu Qing who put the rice in her mouth elegantly, and sighed.

"It's so similar, even the meals are exactly the same."

As soon as the eldest mother's words came out, Tie Zhu's face darkened, his face lengthened, and he said in a cold tone, "No, don't compare me with him anymore." ”

Tie Zhu's old tone attracted Chu Qing's attention, and he began to focus on Tie Zhu, taking a closer look at how much this kid really had some similarities with him.

"Don't say it, it's really like a prince." Wang Duo's mouth was stuffed with rice, staring at the iron pillar and saying as he ate.

The conversation between several people made Xu Xiaoxiao fall into deep thought, she shuttled back and forth between Tie Zhu and Chu Qing, and heard Liu Qiao'er say that Tie Zhu's biological father was unknown, could it be?

She had a bold idea.

Do you want to get a paternity test?

After being full of wine and food, Xu Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Wang Cui's family, and when she left, Wang Cui told them that they needed her help and must tell her.

The intersection where the few people went back was separated, Chu Qing and Wang Duo went to the government to communicate with the magistrate about arranging manpower, and Xu Xiaoxiao went back to the camp in Liujia Village to inform the people who could help to enter the city.

Chu Qing handed her the exit token when she went out of the city gate, and also arranged a carriage.

After the two said goodbye, Xu Xiaoxiao put the sleeping Chu Chu and Tie Zhu in the carriage, and drove the carriage towards the camp in Liujia Village.

The carriage galloped across the plains, and in less than a cup of tea, they returned to Liujia Village smoothly.

At this time, outside the camp of Liujia Village were layers of wooden stakes, and wooden tips were inserted outside the wooden stakes, and many men patrolled inside the wooden stakes.

The carriage gradually approached, and when Xu Xiaoxiao's figure appeared in the light, the patrolling villagers breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly inside.

"The little girl is back."

Liu Lizheng, who was sitting inside, was discussing the next route with Liu Mengzhou and others, and when he heard the name of Xu Xiaoxiao, he hurriedly put down the wolf and walked quickly towards the intersection.

Xu Xiaoxiao parked the carriage under a big tree, took Chu Chu and Tiezhu out, and the villagers took Chu Chu and Tiezhu.

"Xiaoxiao, you're finally back." Liu Lizheng had tears in his eyes, he hadn't seen him for a day, and his hair was a little grayer.

"Uncle Lizheng, I'm back." Xu Xiaoxiao patted her body and looked at Li Zheng happily.

"I thought..."You don't want us anymore. Liu Lizheng patted Xu Xiaoxiao's arm, his voice was hoarse, and he said in a choked voice.

"Things were more complicated than I thought, so it was delayed." Xu Xiaoxiao smoothed Liu Lizheng's back and comforted him softly.

"Uncle thought you didn't want us anymore." The patrolling villagers wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and said what Liu Lizheng had not said.
