Because the He family is the family that raises the most livestock in the village, it stands to reason that it should be the first to have a problem, but I didn't expect to persist until the end.

Some of the shrewd people in the village are ready to have time to talk to Sanfang and ask them how they raise their livestock.

However, at this time, He Zao did not take this into account.

After hearing that the first pig on the mountain was sick and dead, He Zao's heart jumped with a thump.

She thought of the consequences further than the people of her time.

In this era when medical conditions and living conditions are extremely backward, once all livestock get sick and die, the accompanying consequence is probably plague.

The plague occurs for a variety of reasons, but one thing is certain: livestock and people must have fallen ill at the same time and then died incurable.

Now it is only domestic animals that die of disease, but most people do not realize the importance of it, and will eat the dead livestock as food, so that the pathogen will enter the human body and then spread wildly!

He Zao thought carefully for one night, and the next day he issued an order to his own hillside to kill all the livestock on the mountain. All the animals suspected of having a fever were burned by fire, and the rest were put in the ice cellar at home.

At this time, she was only glad that last year, when the winter was over, their family dug a large ice cellar and invited someone to dig ice in the mountains, although it cost a lot of money, but at this time, it came in handy.

The whole of the three rooms were stunned by her order.

They all suspected that He Zao would not have a fever and a mess in the hot weather, and the good domestic animals would be killed if they said they would be killed, so how much money would have to be wasted!

It was hot, but He Laosan didn't go out, staying at home, and he was surprised to hear He Zao say this.

He had already told him very calmly and solemnly about the consequences of his conjecture.

Although He Laosan felt that He Zao was alarmist, his long-term trust made him choose to believe what she said, and he was ready to take action, and issued He Zao's order again.

Even the eldest lord said this, and the others no longer objected, and all the domestic animals were encircled together and sharpened their knives.

Here He Laosan thought of something more important: "What about the three hundred donkeys at home?" ”

Because of the good business, more than sixty donkeys have been sold during this time.

He Zao's heart trembled slightly. Then he whispered: "Donkeys are much more resistant than pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and they should be able to support it for a while, and when I come back, I will immediately make soup, and then kill all the donkeys, marinate the donkey meat, and put it in the ice cellar!" ”

When she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief.

She was even more glad at this time, fortunately, a few days ago, they had just discussed how to store the donkey meat in the soup.

Donkey meat is kept alone in an ice cellar, without salt, and is still prone to spoilage, and if it is marinated and stored together, there will be no problem.

He Laosan was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Then it can only be like this!" ”

In this way, their family did not lose much, because the donkey meat was not bad, and it could still be sold in the end, but if this was ignored, until in the end, even the donkey got sick and died, then it was really a loss!

He looked at He Zao's solemn little face, and scolded with hatred in his heart: "Thief God! ”

He Zao also instructed He Laosan to issue a white cloth to everyone who went up the mountain to cover his face, and said: "Anyway, there are not many pigs, just kill and burn them, see if the chickens, ducks and sheep are sick, if there is no at all, kill and store in the ice cellar, we can't see it, let our veterinarian go!" Make the stakes clear and let him take a closer look! So that he doesn't have to worry about money for us! ”

She said that if she said a word, He Laosan should say a sentence.

When she finished speaking, she reacted and asked, "Waiting for you to come back?" Where are you going? ”

He Zao dug his lips: "I'm going to the county seat, find a dumb manager, and then go to Fucheng!" ”

In He Laosan's puzzled gaze, He Zao explained softly: "Dad, I asked Ge Xiucai yesterday, he is a capable person, he knows astronomy and geography, he said that this summer will never pass in a short time, but there are already pigs and sheep in our village, and there must be other places!" It's hot here, it's definitely hotter in the south, and it's more prone to plague! Even if we don't have a plague here, we will definitely be affected from the south to the north! So, I'm going to warn Lord Han! He is the head snake of Huaiqing Mansion, and he can't be managed by other places, but he can call the shots in Huaiqing Mansion! Be prepared in advance so that the situation of disaster can be smaller! ”

Her voice was soft, but her tone was calm and her explanations were very detailed.

On such a hot day, if you go out for a while, you may have to peel off the sun.

He Laosan wanted to say that I would go, but he knew that he couldn't speak, and He Zao came forward to come forward with himself, and that matter was definitely twice the result with half the effort!

He hesitated, and finally nodded towards He Zao, and all his worries and unspeakable words were condensed in just four words: "Be careful all the way......"

He Zao smiled slightly: "Dad, I will be back soon." ”

He Laosan also promised: "Daughter, when you come back, your father and I will definitely take care of our family's affairs, and I will go up the mountain to watch." ”

He Zao hummed and instructed: "Dad, it's safer for you to wear a face towel." ”

He Laosan nodded.

He Zao let Dashan put on a donkey cart and hurried away.

She first went to the steward, and told him the seriousness of the matter, the steward is also a well-informed person in the end, and he has not experienced it before, so he didn't expect it, and now after listening to the various possibilities listed by He Zao, she didn't hear her say it a second time, so she immediately asked people to prepare for a fast horse.

He Zao sat in the carriage as he did last time, and several people rode fast horses and drove towards Fucheng.

On such a hot day, even if there were a few ice basins in the carriage, He Zao was not much better, and after a while, his whole body was soaked.

Look at the few horseback riders outside, too, with large pieces of sweat dripping from their heads. As soon as it dropped to the ground, it was sucked clean by the hot dry dust.

He Zao saw it in his eyes and was very surprised.

At the same time, she thought that when the livestock died of fever, there was also the problem of drought!

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in Lujia Village. But even then, when you go back, you have to have people store water.

As for the rest of Huaiqing Province, it belongs to the semi-arid area, and the rainfall of the year is counted except for the summer, and the rainy summer, this year is only a high temperature, not even a drop of raindrops, afraid of drought, has begun without knowing it......

Thinking like this, He Zao's heart became even more urgent.

It originally took half a day to travel, but today it only took more than an hour.

The ice in the ice basin has melted, and He Zao has drunk the water of the two gourds, just like that, his throat is so thirsty that he wants to smoke!
