Mrs. Xiao was worried that her eldest son had a pimple in his heart, so she took the opportunity to say: "Your father, your younger brother wanted to hire a boat to go back, but he couldn't get out..."

Xiao Youfu knew in his heart that if he really wanted to go back, he would definitely be able to figure out a way.

My father and mother didn't go back because they left Liu and their three granddaughters in the village, because they were afraid of being infected with the epidemic and were reluctant to spend too much money.

It's because his job is not decent enough.

is also because Xiao Yougui and Wu have three grandchildren.

Therefore, his father and mother favored the second family, and he didn't care.

His own daughter-in-law and daughter, he has his own protection.

"It's okay, we're all right!" Xiao Youfu beckoned Liu and his daughters to follow him: "They are all scared, I will take them to the hospital first to let the doctor check the pulse, so I can rest assured." ”

He has seen a lot of warm lovers, and when his mother and younger siblings saw their family, they said that they were happy and surprised.

They must have been afraid that they would also get the disease.

Therefore, he simply said that he would go to the doctor, so that they would not be suspicious for two days.

Mrs. Xiao personally took their family over.

When they came to the door of the infirmary, the two officials stopped them with very vigilant scabbards and asked, "Stop, which of you is sick?" Do you have a fever? ”

Xiao Youfu didn't expect that the town had already investigated so strictly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, I am afraid that the epidemic is getting more and more serious.

He hurriedly said: "My lord, the small family has entered the thief, and the thief beat him before coming to the doctor, and I ask the two adults to be accommodating." ”

He is tall and looks strong, fortunately he has good facial features and has a female dependent, otherwise the official is afraid that he will directly draw his knife and strike first.

One of the officials motioned for him to follow: "Let me look at the wound first!" ”

Xiao Youfu followed him into the empty room, and simply took off his clothes to let him see a few bruised marks after being beaten.

"Alright." The official also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys go in, right?" ”

Xiao Youfu took the opportunity to give the official a penny of silver, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, is there something important in our town?" ”

If the epidemic was really too serious, he decided to get out of town as soon as possible.

Anyway, the luggage wrapped in oiled paper hasn't been opened yet?

Seeing him like this, the official was also willing to say a few more words: "It's not that there are too many people with epidemic diseases in the county seat, and there are not enough medicinal materials, so they have come to our place to seek medical advice in the past two days." ”

"Your Excellency, let us guard the doors of the six medical halls..."

Xiao Youfu understood from his words that the epidemic in the county is now more serious, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials.

He was glad that he didn't go to the county seat, but came to the town first.

When they entered, there were not many patients inside, and they were all wary of those who came in, for fear that they would be infected.

The doctors also tied their mouths and noses with blue cotton cloth.

After asking the doctor to take the pulse one by one, he prescribed a prescription to nourish the body, as well as bruising oil.

Xiao Youfu leaned over to the doctor and whispered, "I'm tired of the doctor prescribing me a few antipyretics, just in case." ”

In the past few days, the doctor has seen a lot of customers who have come to buy medicine, and he said very calmly: "A pair of medicines is 800 yuan, you can just go to the counter to grab a few pairs of medicines." ”

Mrs. Xiao, who originally wanted to buy two pairs of medicines to go back for prevention, gasped: "The old woman heard me right, right?" In the past, the antipyretic medicine was 200 wen and a pair of medicines? ”

Xiao Youfu is not surprised, now that the epidemic is prevalent, the price of medicine must have risen.

A few days ago, he grabbed medicine from the county medical center, and he already asked for 600 Wen and a pair of medicines.

"I want six pairs of medicines, and a bottle of Muxiang Shunqi Pill, Baohe Pill..."Xiao Youfu reported a bunch of medicine names: "There are also Jinchuang Medicine and Bone-setting Oil for me to ask for one more bottle." ”

The account room dialed the abacus: "A total of twelve taels and eight dollars and twenty-three cents." ”

The old lady Xiao on the side was distressed: "Boss, why do you buy so much, you have to work for nothing for half a year with so much money." ”

Besides, it's hard to earn money now, but I always feel at ease when I save more money in hand.

Xiao Youfu also got nearly thirty taels of silver for nothing, so he was so reluctant, as if he didn't hear his mother's nagging, he simply took out the silver and paid.

Xiao Xiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she and the Liu family would have an epidemic, so they would be embarrassed to stay at the second uncle's house.

Now that the doctor has seen it, he is sure that they are all right, and only prescribed six pairs of tonics.

She felt that she and the Liu family had also picked up a life.

However, the cost of medicine is really expensive, no wonder ancient and modern people are afraid of getting sick.

It's summer, and the second uncle's bed is not enough, so he can also make a bunk.

Fortunately, I lived together, and I woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and I saw that there were all family members next to me, so I could continue to lie down and go back to sleep.

Xiao Xiao ate and drank well for two days, and finally recovered.

She pondered that she would go around the street, and by the way, she would inquire about the news, so she went to Liu's to ask for money: "Mother, give me some money, I want to go outside." ”

Liu Shi glanced at the heavy rain outside: "If you go out in this weather, your shoes and clothes will be wet, what do you want to buy for your father?" ”

Xiao Lian can't stay either, in her hometown, the front and back of the house are her own land, but in the town, there are three main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, there are many people in the family, and it is really crowded: "Mother, my father is not well yet, I will accompany my sister to go." ”

Xiao Youfu was beaten with a few sticks, and he was holding on strongly, but after coming to the town, his injuries were all swollen, and he was not well yet.

Liu glared at them helplessly, but still went to get the silver.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengyuan ran in panting: "Grandmother, haven't my grandfather and my father come back yet?" ”

Xiao Youfu and Liu had three daughters.

Xiao Yougui and Wu had three sons.

The eldest Xiao Zhengyuan is sixteen years old this year, and he was almost admitted to the Tongsheng school the year before last, and his family has great expectations for him, so he is allowed to study in the academy in the town next door, and they all live in the academy.

Mrs. Xiao, who was picking leeks, smiled when she saw her eldest grandson: "They are still selling meat on the street, and today is not the day of school, why did you come home?" ”

Xiao Zhengyuan's face was pale: "The academy asked us to come back, saying that the king of Annan had rebelled, and Mr. said that compulsory conscription had begun, so let's hurry back and avoid it?" ”

Xiao Xiao was anxious when he heard this: "Chang'an Town is only more than 100 miles away from Yi'an Town, so isn't it safe for us to do this?" ”

Mrs. Xiao was even more panicked when she heard this: "Then what should I do?" It's not safe in the town, so let's go back to Shuikou Village to hide? ”

There are many mountains in my hometown, even if I go to conscription, it is convenient to take dry food into the mountains to hide for two or three days.

Xiao Xiao sighed: "Grandmother, most of the people who have the epidemic have been imprisoned in their hometown, and our village is not safe." ”

What's more, the family's house may be burned down by a fire.

Moreover, it is dangerous to enter the mountains in summer.

It is dangerous to be a soldier, if you encounter snakes and insects, it is also dangerous, and if you are unlucky, you will die if you encounter a wolf.
