At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Xiao Shun: "Okay, you should go back too. Your family must be waiting anxiously."

Fu Bao nodded and said, "I have already given all the recipes to the craftsmen, but there are good and bad people among them, so we can't just let them do whatever they want. Find a few trustworthy people as soon as possible to watch over them while they are making the recipes, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Xiao Shun nodded and said, "I know."

Then, Fu Bao said worriedly: "This thing is too dangerous. It is best to build a courtyard one mile outside the military camp. Otherwise, if it explodes, there will be heavy losses."

Xiao Shun nodded: "I'll ask someone to do it right away."

Fubao nodded, and finally left five thousand bags of flour in the granary before setting out on the journey back home.

Xiao Shun selected three skilled guards to escort her, and Qingyang asked Qingheng to go back to Yuzhou with her. The five of them traveled day and night and arrived in Yuzhou in ten days.

When they arrived at the city gate, Fu Bao was stunned by the line that was almost a mile long: "What is this for? The city gate is closed?"

When they stuck their heads out, they saw that the city gate was wide open and the guards at the gate were looking at their passes one by one.

Fu Bao frowned and said, "Didn't you stop using this thing? Why are you using it again?"

Then she discovered something was wrong. Most of the people who came along had sallow complexions, red eyes, and were coughing one after another, as if they were going to cough out their lungs.

Fubao's face changed and alarm bells started ringing in his heart, something was wrong.

She quickly pulled out a few handkerchiefs and face towels from the space and said, "Take them with you."

Qing Heng looked at the clean and fragrant handkerchief and put it on her mouth and nose without hesitation. The three men were a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, there are people outside. It would not look good for us grown men to wear this."

Fu Bao said seriously: "Bring it! Something is wrong."

A few people looked at her expression and felt that she didn't seem to be joking, so they quickly took their things.

Then Fu Bao lifted the curtain of the car and said to the people queuing outside: "Auntie, what's going on? Are we not allowed to enter the city?"

The woman looked up at Fu Bao wearily and said, "I don't know either. It seems that only people from Yuzhou City can enter, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter."

Fubao: "How could this happen? Wasn't he fine a few days ago?"

The woman slowly shook her head: "We were not allowed in half a month ago."

Fubao: "Then why are you still queuing here?"

The woman spoke slowly, but seemed to have inhaled some cold air, and suddenly she started coughing uncontrollably. It took her a long time to recover and she said, "There's a doctor here who provides free consultation."

Only then did Fubao notice that in addition to the guards, there was also a row of doctors at the city gate.

She had never seen such a scene before. The carriage drove straight to the city gate. They showed Yuzhou's pass and the guards let a few people in.

As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, Fubao noticed something different from usual.

The streets of Yuzhou City were still crowded with people, but many people had contracted a cough, their faces were yellow, and their eye sockets were slightly blue and sunken.

Fubao's heart sank, and she said to the outside, "Hurry up and get on the road." She was extremely anxious now, as she didn't know what was happening to her family.

They rode at full speed and arrived at the entrance of the alley after more than half an hour. Fubao hurriedly got out of the car, ran into the deepest door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Soon a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

It's A Niang. Fu Bao hurriedly said, "A Niang! It's me, open the door quickly."

When Zhao Xiuer heard that it was her who came back, she trotted over and opened the door. The moment she saw her, she burst into tears and said, "You are finally back. We have all seen the letter you sent last time. How are you doing in the military camp? Are you tired?"

Fubao shook his head: "Master and Uncle Xiaoshui are taking care of me, I'm not tired at all."

After saying that, the four people behind him just happened to come in.

Fu Bao said: "This is my uncle Qing Heng, and the others were sent by Uncle Xiao Shui to protect me."

Zhao Xiuer greeted them one by one and said, "Come in quickly. You don't know how much your family has missed you during the time you were away. If you don't come back, your father and I have packed our bags and are going to look for you."

Fubao thought she just said that, but he didn't expect to see a big package when he entered the room. Li Shuangrong was packing it up with great effort. When he saw her come in, the things in his hands fell to the ground.

Li Shuangrong's eyes were slightly red: "Fubao? You're back!"

Zhao Xiuer's tears fell again, dripping on the back of Fubao's hand, making her feel as if her heart was burned by her mother's tears.

When the other people in the house heard the noise, they ran out and happily surrounded her, asking her questions.

The old man was blocked from seeing his precious granddaughter, and he was so angry that he circled around the crowd three times and finally kicked Li Darong on the butt.

Li Darong cried out, turned around and asked, "Dad, why did you kick me?"

Li Huaiqing said angrily: "Get out of my way!"

Li Darong leaned aside aggrievedly, leaving a small space for him. Li Huaiqing hurried in and looked at Fubao's thinner face. He said sadly, "Why are you thinner? Yishu, are you tired?"

The soft-spoken question made Li Darong next to him dumbfounded. He felt even more aggrieved and muttered, "Why did you only kick me?"

When Li Huaiqing saw his granddaughter, he ignored him and went over to ask about her well-being.

After a full cup of tea, Fu Bao finally broke free: "Let me drink some water first."

Just as he finished speaking, Chongxi appeared from nowhere with a teapot in his hand. Fubao smiled and said, "I must have a cup..."

Before he could finish, Yi Qiu was already standing beside him, holding a cup.

After drinking three cups of tea, Fubao finally felt relieved. At least everyone he saw so far was healthy and had not contracted any disease from outside.

Fubao: "Where's my aunt?"

Li Darong: "She is in a heavy condition and is still resting. I will take you to see her when she wakes up."

Fubao nodded, then asked, "Where's Brother Chongming?"

Li Huaiqing: "Didn't you take him away? Together with Chongwang."

Fu Bao then remembered: "Oh, yes, they still live in the south of the city. I don't know how my uncle is doing. I will go over to check on him tomorrow."

Then he thought of the scene on the street and asked, "What happened in Yuzhou?"

The family looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "We haven't been out since you left. Even Yisheng and Yiqiu have taken two months off."

Fu Bao finally solved his doubts. It turned out that it was not that the Li family could not get the disease, but that they had never been out. If they could not be exposed to it, they would not get the disease.

Li Darong: "That shop is also managed by someone else. I haven't been there recently."

The family looked at her face and asked, "What's wrong? What happened in Yuzhou?"

Fu Bao did not hide his thoughts from them and said directly: "I don't know what happened to the people outside. Most of them have coughs. I suspect it is an epidemic."
