Chapter 332: Do your best
Shen Youqiu froze for a moment and frowned.
"Even if I have the heart and the strength to do so, there are so many people infected with the plague, even if they kill me, the blood will not be enough for them to drink!"
"Since you don't want to do it yourself, you want to force others to do so?" The old man said slowly.
"I, I didn't."
Shen Youqiu gritted his teeth, his mind was very messy.
In the final analysis, she herself is indeed selfish, she just wants to protect the people she cares about, as for others, maybe she will have compassion, but this pity and sympathy will not make her willing to give her life.
Li Sizhi stared at her for a while, then suddenly sighed and looked up at the sky.
"This is a catastrophe given by God, we ordinary people, if we want to change, it will cost a lot of money, you don't have to worry too much about this, this plague will not last too long, God has collected enough human lives, and it will naturally stop."
Hearing this, Shen Youqiu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
When she came out, she had seen several places from afar that were dedicated to burning the dead and their daily necessities.
I don't know how many people have died now, I don't know if there is a kind of person who is not dead, but is burned to death, and I don't know how long my uncle will have to work.
Seeing that Shen Youqiu didn't speak, the old man coughed and said with a frown; "If you really have the heart, go to the little puddle on the mountain and drop some of your own blood, and the water on this mountain will basically pass through all the rivers in the direction below, and they will drink this water, and it will always be good."
"But I warn you, don't waste your blood too much, if you put too much, you will lose yourself, but you will not be able to make up for it."
"I see."
Shen Youqiu nodded, and according to the direction pointed by Li Sizhi, he really found a small water source halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the clear water, she frowned, and finally took out a knife and cut it on her hand, and after a lot of blood flowed out, she quickly bandaged it.
The water flowed very slowly, and it took a long time for the blood to fade away.
Shen Youqiu didn't know if this bit of blood could be useful, but in the end, he still did his best, and only hoped to help his uncle and them solve the plague earlier.
When he got down the mountain, Li Sizhi was still there, and when he looked back at Shen Youqiu, his face suddenly sank, and he stepped forward scolding.
"I'll just let you put a little blood, it's good to put a little bit, what's the matter with you, why did you just put so much, do you know how precious your own blood is, it's not easy to make up! You don't know how to cultivate, if you lose some of this blood, you will lose less, even if it is a small gourd blood like me, if you want to raise it back, it will take at least a month! You're good, I see you put at least two or three gourds of blood just now!
Shen Youqiu explained helplessly, "I'm not thinking, too little may be useless."
"If the water is purified, the plague will naturally go away quickly, and the doctor should worry about the rest, what, do you still want people to drink the water directly? This merit is too great, you don't need to grab it, okay!"
He rolled his eyes angrily, and after talking for a long time, he took out a small gourd, poured out a small red pill from the small gourd, and handed it to Shen Youqiu distressedly.
"Eat this for me, and then go back to raise it at home for a few days, and let your mother make you more blood-replenishing things, and within two months, you won't be injured and bleed, understand? If you don't obey again, I'll drive your whole family out of the capital!"
After saying this, he urged Shen Youqiu to eat the pill again, and then said coldly: "Hurry up and get me home, if I find you running around again, I will arrest you and lock you up, see how you run!"
"Got it!"
Shen Youqiu also knew that Li Sizhi was for his own good, so he hurriedly finished speaking, and left with Feng Yi.
In the next few days, in order to prevent Li Sizhi from really doing what he said, Shen Youqiu obediently raised him at home for several days, while Mo Jihang was getting busier and busier, basically not going home much.
After five or six days, that evening, he suddenly ran home excitedly and got it
Shouting excitedly with a pack of pills.
"Sister, brother-in-law, alright, the plague will be solved soon!"
Mo Shi and Shen Yu came to hear the sound, and when they saw his unkempt and excited appearance, they were distressed and funny.
"Is this plague cured?" Mohs asked, "It's good that you can be cured, you're too tired these days, don't go out today, let's sleep at home for a while."
"Yes."
Mo Ji smiled and said, "I'll come back to give you good news, and I'll have to go out to supervise them to boil medicine or something."
"Don't worry, eat at home and then go." Mo Shi forcibly pulled him into the room and sat down, frowning, "You just rest here for a while, I'll go cook, and I'll call you later."
After a while, Shen Youqiu came to call him for dinner, but found that the room was already snoring like thunder, and his uncle was lying on the table, sleeping deeply, and was having a tryst with Zhou Gong.
Mo Shi came over and saw this scene, took the quilt and covered him, and said distressedly: "In order to cure the disease, I don't want my own life, this is really tired, I haven't heard him snoring so loudly before."
Hearing this, Shen Youqiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Now that the plague can be cured, it will be fine soon, seeing that half of the early spring has passed, I went outside the city to see before, the land is barren, I think this year is not a good year."
Mohs also sighed.
"It's really a hard time, how many people are going to starve to death with such a toss."
At this time, Shen Yuxin suddenly spoke: "If everyone uses the hoes we added to hoe the fields, and use our plows to plough the fields, they will definitely be able to speed up their spring ploughing, and they will be able to maintain some yields at that time, and maybe, they can increase their yields."
Shen Youqiu was stunned.
"I'm afraid those peasants shouldn't have the money to buy our iron tools."
Iron is not cheap, farm tools are not cheap, I am afraid that it is not easy to sell now, and selling at this time, there is a feeling of taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Shen Yuxin smiled, glanced at the two of them hesitantly, and said slowly: "Actually, what I want is to don't charge money for now, send a batch out for free, after all, human life is at stake now, anyway, I have made a lot of inventory this winter, and there is still a surplus of money from selling iron pots before, if I send these farm tools, our family can also survive."
"When everyone's situation eases up, they can eat, they can make money, let's sell it again, what do you think?"
