Mu Yan's eyes were red, and she tugged at Shen Li's sleeve and said, "Hongdousheng's illness can't see the light, if you let the people in the village know, she and Aunt Gui will be driven away." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ximei ran out of the house. His expression was shocked, as if he was frightened. Shen Li's eyes were quick, and when she passed by, he raised his hand and slashed at the back of her neck without hesitation. Seeing her fall to the ground and faint to death, her face has not changed by half a point.

"That way, no one knows. ”

Mu Yan was stunned, but at this moment, there was really no other good way except to stun her. "Brother, she'...... Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I can't wake up for a while. ”

Shen Li looked at Li Yunlan sideways, and saw that he was also stunned, so he couldn't help but say, "The matter of the red bean girl can't be spread for the time being, you know, right?"

Li Yunlan came back to his senses from surprise and responded quite seriously. Shen Li immediately nodded, "Well, then you can go back first." Just leave the matter here to us, if you stay here for a long time, it will also arouse suspicion from others. ”

"I-"

Yunlan didn't want to leave, but Shen Li was right. And even if he stays here, it won't help, he can't do anything. So after thinking for a while, I finally listened to Shen Li's words and went back.

That night, Aunt Gui finally walked out of the house, looking extremely haggard. Mu Yan told her that Ximei was knocked unconscious and detained here, and she shook her head after hearing this, and asked Mu Yan and Shen Li to send people back.

"Aunt Gui, you can't let her go back. ”

Although Mu Yan knew that it was wrong to do this, for the safety of Hongdou and Aunt Gui, she couldn't take this risk. According to Ximei's temperament, when she wakes up after sending her back, she will inevitably make a fuss. At that time, the whole village is afraid that it will no longer be able to accommodate Aunt Gui and Hongdou. Hongdou's body is so weak now, if he doesn't take good care of it, then he really won't be able to go back.

"Miss Weiyang, I know you have a good heart. ”

Aunt Gui sighed lightly, and she seemed to have aged a lot overnight. "But this matter has nothing to do with Ximei. Besides, there are so many families in Broken Yunyuan, and Ximei is the daughter of the village chief, if she disappears, most of them will alarm many people. So, let's send her back. The matter of red beans will not be hidden for long, and I have already decided that if the people in the village can't tolerate us, we will leave. Anyway, we are used to relying on each other, even if we die, we will die together. ”

"Aunt Gui, smallpox is not so terrible. Mu Yan tried to reassure her and encourage her to cheer up. "As long as you take care of it, let the acne have a high fever and go away, and there are no other symptoms, you will be fine. Don't be so pessimistic, you and Hongdou are both good people, God won't be blind!"

Aunt Gui smiled, thinking that Mu Yan was still young and didn't understand the horror of this disease, so she patted the back of her hand to express her gratitude.

"yes, I see. You'd better send Ximei back first, otherwise the village chief will mobilize the villagers to look for people everywhere. That's when things get even more troublesome. ”

Mu Yan had no choice but to do what she wanted. So Shen Li carried the person on his back, and it only took a moment to go back and forth, and he sent the person back quietly.

And this night, no one is destined to be able to sleep.

The door of the pharmacy was knocked in the middle of the night, and Shen Li's sentence of "I finally found the door" confirmed all the previous speculations. Sure enough, after Ximei woke up, the matter was exposed. The village chief summoned all the villagers overnight, first, to find out the facts, and secondly, to make a decision.

In order not to let the villagers disturb the red beans, Aunt Gui calmly said everything. As soon as the word smallpox came out, the villagers immediately panicked. Aunt Gui is the older generation in the village, and her family has been the village doctor for generations, and she is very respected. So the village chief asked her three or four times in a row, asking her if the red bean really had smallpox? Aunt Gui knew that the village chief was a good person, but the fact was that as a doctor, she could never deceive people.

She knelt down and begged everyone present to let them go. The people in the village are actually not hard-hearted, and they are a little unbearable. But it's a matter of life and death, leaving such a plague patient in the village, if someone is infected, what should be done?

In the end, the village chief discussed with everyone for a long time and decided not to hurt the red beans, but the two of them could not stay in the village. Aunt Gui was full of despair and sat on the ground crying silently.

Mu Yan couldn't stand it, so she squatted down to help Aunt Gui up. Shen Li suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, if you drive Aunt Gui and Hongdou away now, you will undoubtedly want their lives." The red bean girl is now weak and can't withstand any accidents at all. I'm not from your village, but I'm taking care of Aunt Gui and my daughter these days, so it's inevitable that I have to say something for them. ”

Shen Li stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the back mountain, and then said: "I think so, Aunt Gui's mother and daughter often go to the back mountain to collect medicine, and sometimes they are tired of walking and rest, so they temporarily build a small wooden house halfway up the mountainside. There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the back mountain, and the location there is quite far from the village, so it won't affect you. How about you let their mother and daughter go to the back mountain for a while?"

"It's-"

When everyone heard this, they began to whisper to each other. And at this time, Ximei rushed over. Touching the back of his neck, which was still painful, he glared at Mu Yan and Shen Li: "Broken Yunyuan has never had a plague, and since these two people came, Hongdou has been infected with the plague." I think they are ominous people! Aunt Gui and Hongdou are naturally going to move away, but you two also have to leave this place!"

Shen Li smiled faintly at her, very calmly. "Originally, we planned to go with Aunt Gui's mother and daughter, so we didn't need a special reminder from the girl. ”

"Y-huh!"

Ximei shook her sleeves, gritted her teeth and was very annoyed, but Shen Li didn't eat soft and hard, she never got it.

"Okay, you can move to the back mountainside for a while. ”

The village chief finally agreed with Shen Li's statement, Shen Li nodded and thanked him, went back to the house and simply packed up his salute, and then moved to the cabin in the back mountain with a house of children and dependents overnight.

Although along the way, in order to avoid infection, Aunt Gui carried red beans on her back to prevent Shen Li and Mu Yan from approaching. But Shen Li, as a man, how could he just watch it like this? In the end, despite Aunt Gui's objection, he snatched the red bean from her back and put it on his back. Mu Yan smiled beside him, not only did he stop it, but also helped take the handle.

Responsibility is something that is innate. It's just that some people understand, and some people choose to ignore it. It's like appendicitis, in fact, everyone has it, but some people don't know it exists until they get sick and hurt. Some people will never get sick for the rest of their lives, so they naturally don't think so.

Where did Shen Li not know that smallpox would be contagious? Mu Yan didn't know that such contact was the easiest to be infected. But it's important to have a heart, and the choice depends on the individual. They chose to help each other and did not choose to sit idly by. They are not some kind of compassionate bodhisattvas, they just want a mother not to be so sad and desperate.
