When I got home, I talked to my father and Mr. Wu about the price increase of the grain store.

Mr. Wu stroked his beard and said, "The old man has already talked to the local county magistrate about this matter last time, and it seems that he didn't care. ”

Not only did he not care, but he seemed to be aiding the abuse.

Mr. Wu shook his head and sighed slightly in his heart.

It's not that they blow it themselves, but there are a few officials in this dynasty who can serve the people wholeheartedly like their own sons.

When you first become an official, you may still be able to abide by your heart, but after a long time, you will be nurtured by the left and right, and you will simply hold on to money, who will take the people seriously?

Jiang Saburo related this incident to the dream of the little girl, and frowned.

He was now desperate to return to his hometown.

Don't sell your own food, if something happens in the future, you won't be able to buy food if you have money.

I don't know what to be afraid of, the next day, Jiang Quan and Jiang Cheng hurriedly came.

"Third uncle, it's not good, there is a big flood over there, and several townships have been flooded!" Jiang Quan wanted to go back to his hometown to pick fruits, but he was stopped by the water halfway through the road, so he had to turn back to the county seat.

Jiang Saburo was anxious: "What? Flooded? What the little girl said came true.

Last year, my daughter told them that there would be a big flood this year, and it turned out to be true.

It is no wonder that the rivers in the county town have risen to the shore, and the low-lying places have also accumulated water, and the original downstream townships have been flooded.

"How good is that?" Before Jiang Saburo took his son to Fucheng, he also told his wife and parents and brothers that there would be a lot of rain this year, and there might be a lot of water like before.

Parents and brothers also responded, saying that they must pay attention, and the result is really watery.

Jiang Quan said: "Third uncle, that piece is full of water, I saw that there were only roofs left in the villages in the lower places, and I met many villagers coming to the county seat on the way." ”

Jiang Saburo was stunned for a while, and immediately rushed out of the house and ran to the grain store.

The family did not hoard much grain in the county, it is estimated that it will be gone after five or six days, if you don't buy some rice and grain back, a large family will have to drink the northwest wind.

Jiang Cheng also ran out with the third uncle and came to the grain store.

At this time, the grain shop was crowded with people, and the grain had risen from 60 wen a bucket yesterday to 70 wen, and brown rice had also risen from 100 wen a bucket to 120 wen, which was about to catch up with the price of pork.

Jiang Saburo didn't say a word and wanted to buy two stones of rice, but the guy told him that one person could buy a maximum of five buckets.

"Five buckets are five buckets!" Jiang Saburo and his eldest nephew each bought five buckets of rice.

When he got home, Jiang Saburo immediately pulled the little girl aside and asked quietly: "Bao'er, tell your father what you dreamed of?" ”

Sakura had to repeat her dream that day.

At the end, he comforted his father: "Dad, we are still far from the Jurchen, and our small place is not a traffic artery, and thieves can't look down on it." ”

This is true, the county is located in the middle of nowhere, and half of it is low-lying, which is particularly prone to heavy flooding.

However, because of the river, the water quickly flowed down the river, and as long as the people were vigilant, there would not be many casualties, but the people's property could not be guaranteed.

Where can Jiang Sanlang feel at ease, and said worriedly: "Bao'er, even if the Jurchens can't fight here, the Liukou don't care about this, they kill wherever they go, as long as they can get money and food, the horns will go and turn around." ”

Sakura was silent.

After another two days, the rain was still falling, and more and more villagers dragged their families into the county seat.

Soon several grain stores ran out of grain and were forced to close their doors.

During this period, Ying Bao went to the medical office to visit Master Zhou Wuchang, but the Master and Senior Brother were not there, and no one knew where they had gone.

After another two days, the rain finally stopped.

Jiang Saburo couldn't wait to rush home, so he quietly drove the carriage out of the city with his second nephew, but he didn't go far and couldn't walk again.

There was a vast expanse in front of him, and even the official road was flooded, and he couldn't get through it at all.

There was no way, and the two drove the carriage back to the city.

On the way into the city, people who took refuge in the county seat abounded.

They had nowhere to go, so they sat on the side of the road, eating all the muddy rainwater from the river.

Jiang Quan also saw that these people defecated everywhere, polluting the streets.

Back home, Jiang Saburo was a little depressed.

He was very worried about his own situation, but he couldn't go back.

Sakura didn't know that his father had gone out of the city and came back, and asked how the food prices were outside.

Jiang Saburo shook his head: "It's still high." He goes out to buy five buckets of rice every day, and there is no shortage of food at home.

Of course, there is no shortage of vegetables, and the little girl can buy a basket of fresh vegetables every day, as well as some fresh melons and fruits.

A few days later, there was a sudden large-scale outbreak of disease in the county, and many people vomited and vomited, and the high fever did not go away.

Sakura Bao went out and realized that something was wrong, so he hurried home and called everyone and told them not to go out recently.

"When there is an epidemic outside, you should not take it lightly, and do not go out easily in the future." After Sakura Bao finished speaking, he turned back to the house, took out some pills and distributed them to everyone: "In case of fever, vomiting or diarrhea, take one quickly." ”

Old Mr. Wu also had a solemn face, and couldn't help but scold: "This county order is really damned." ”

Once a plague breaks out in the county, it is not a trivial matter, and tens of thousands of people may lose their lives.

At this time, the water outside had not receded, and it was impossible to get some medicine to heal.

Ying Bao is also very entangled, although there are some medicines in his cave, but there are not many, barely enough for his own family.

But it was so terrible outside, and many people just fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

Someone was banging on the courtyard door.

Jiang Quan ran out and opened the door, and saw his aunt Jiang Yunniang standing outside. "Auntie, why are you here?"

Jiang Yunniang asked anxiously: "Erquan, where is Yingbao?" ”

"In the house, come in." Jiang Quan let his aunt in.

Sakura came out of the room and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Yunniang cried as soon as she grabbed Yingbao: "Yingbao, go and see Yuying, he and Xiaolang vomited and diarrhea, and they were almost dead." ”

Sakura Po didn't think about it and said, "You wait, I'll go get the medicine box." ”

Hurriedly returned to the house and put on the medicine box, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Quan wanted to go together, but she refused: "Dad, don't walk around, I still have a few baskets of vegetables and fruits in the house, you just eat that, don't go out to buy vegetables." ”

Jiang Saburo looked at his daughter worriedly: "Bao'er, you can just give the medicine to your aunt, why do you want to run?" ”

Yingbao didn't want to run either, but Yuying and Xiaolang were sick, and her aunt couldn't keep her and was recruited, as well as Hongxiao, and Brother Lobby's family of three, if she didn't go, it would be inappropriate.

Jiang Yunniang said to the third brother with some apologies: "It's all because I was careless, I didn't notice that Yuying and Xiaolang ran out to catch fish, and they fell ill that night." ”

They cooked a pot of fish soup at night, and they were very careful to cook the fish thoroughly, but they still got sick with the infection.

"Let's go." Sakura put on a homemade mask and took the lead out of the yard.

She and her aunt walked all the way to the shop, and on the way they encountered several groups of homeless people who were lodging, and several times she almost stepped on excrement.

When I returned to the shop, I saw that the door of the shop had been closed, and Da Hei squatted helplessly at the door.
