The family members all looked unhappy: "Epidemic? How could this happen?"

Fubao couldn't understand it either. Yuzhou had always been fine and there had never been any floods. How could an epidemic suddenly break out for no reason?

Fu Bao: "The situation is unclear now. You'd better not go out to avoid getting sick."

Then he said, "Anyway, we have enough rice, flour, grain and oil at home, so we should not go out if we can."

After that, he looked at Yisheng and Yiqiu and said to them, "Tell Grandpa Han and the others not to go out recently. If they need anything, ask someone to come to our house to get it."

Several people nodded.

Li Huaiqing hurriedly harnessed the cart, and Fubao asked, "Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

Li Huaiqing: "I don't know what happened to your brother and your uncle. I'll go get them first."

Fu Bao hurriedly stopped him: "Leave this matter to me. We don't know what the situation of my uncle is yet, so it's best not to move. Besides, there are many people watching secretly. If you go, he will be exposed."

Li Huaiqing put down the reins helplessly: "What should we do? You said it before, the situation outside is not good. There are two of them and one is injured. It's very dangerous."

Before the carriage stopped, Fu Bao filled up all the food in the kitchen, and then got on the carriage directly: "I will go find them, don't worry, you just need to stay here. As soon as my uncle is better, I will come back with a letter."

Li Huaiqing's expression changed immediately: "No, I'll go. It's too dangerous for a little girl to go on the road."

Fu Bao pointed at the guards around him and said, "Don't worry, there are so many people protecting me. Let's go!"

Zhou Qiaoping reluctantly complained behind him, "You are so nosy! Just go quietly. Now that my granddaughter has just returned and has not even had a bite to eat, I have to go and do something."

Li Huaiqing lowered his head in annoyance and said nothing.

The guards were driving the car, and several people had two layers of masks on their faces. Although they had some difficulty breathing, no one dared to take them off because it was life-threatening.

Fubao lifted the car curtain and looked out. Xue Qingquan was still open, but there was not much business.

She frowned. In this situation, driving would only cause more trouble. So she hurriedly stopped the car: "Stop the car! I have something to tell you."

After getting off the car, Fubao went straight to the shop. The shopkeeper, accountant, and waiter were all sitting in the shop doing nothing.

When he saw her come in, he stood up quickly and asked, "What would you like to order, sir?"

Fu Bao took out the key to the front door and said, "Li Darong is my uncle. Yuzhou has been in turmoil lately, so the shop is temporarily closed. We will reopen it when the situation improves."

The shopkeeper took the door key, looked at it, and handed it over respectfully: "Got it, Young Master, we will close the door now."

Fu Bao: "After you go home, you'd better stock up on some food, and it's best not to go out if you can."

She said it seriously, and the guys behind her also took it to heart, and agreed repeatedly: "I know, I know, Young Master."

Fubao nodded, turned around and left the shop, got on the carriage and headed straight for the south of the city.

He originally thought that the shops in the south of the city were also doing bad business, but when he looked from a distance, he couldn't even find the Xue Qingquan sign.

Fubao's heart skipped a beat: "Stop for a moment, I'll go down and take a look."

This time she jumped off the carriage eagerly, and sure enough, the familiar shop was still there, but the sign had been smashed to pieces.

Fubao walked in with a frown. The room was in a mess. The tables and chairs were either cracked in the middle or missing a leg. There was not a single complete table.

When the door of the private room was opened, the fresh and elegantly decorated room was now in a terrible state. Especially the one that Lin Keyi had stayed in before, even the paintings on the wall had been stripped off.

Most of the women who came to work there had disappeared. Only the middle-aged female manager who was hired at that time was still in the shop, trying hard to repair the furnishings inside.

She must have heard the sound, she came out in a hurry with her skirt lifted, and the moment she saw Fubao, her eyes were filled with tears: "Young Master! It's my fault that my shop was smashed."

Fubao quickly handed her a handkerchief: "What happened? Tell me quickly."

The shopkeeper wiped his tears with a handkerchief and choked up, saying, "Three days ago, a group of people came in and started beating and smashing things without any explanation."

Three days ago, she had a guess in her mind.

The shopkeeper went on to say, "Many people in the shop were beaten and injured. When the government officials arrived, the gang had already fled. No one was caught, and no compensation was given."

At this point she started to cry out of guilt: "You gave the shop to me, but I was useless."

Fu Bao said quickly: "Please don't say that. This matter has nothing to do with you. Someone is deliberately looking for trouble. You can't avoid it."

Then he continued, "Are all the people in the shop injured? I have two hundred taels here. You can take some and divide it among the people. Ask a doctor to take a look at everyone. The rest is the compensation from the shop."

The shopkeeper was a little incredulous: "Not only are you not punishing us, you're also giving us compensation?"

Fu Bao: "This is what I deserve, and that group of people were probably coming for me. You all come to work for me, and you shouldn't suffer these misfortunes."

The shopkeeper was even more moved and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, we will fix it soon."

Fu Bao: "There's no rush for these. Let's get everyone healed first. Something seems to be wrong in Yuzhou recently, so it's just right to close down for a while."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Many people started coughing today, and some people spread the virus..." He lowered his voice here.

Fubao: "What?"

The shopkeeper said, "Some people say it's a plague."

Fu Bao frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not groundless. You should also be careful. Tell the shop assistants and female workers in the shop to stock up on food and not go out today."

The shopkeeper also became serious in an instant: "Okay, we will listen to the young master."

After dealing with the matters here, they got on the carriage and took a long ride. Finally, after making sure that no one was following them, they turned into the alley.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a door, and Fubao got out and knocked on the door.

There was no sound from inside. Fubao frowned: Aren’t they here?

Qing Heng: "There are footsteps inside."

Fubao's eyes lit up: "Brother, open the door quickly, it's me."

The person inside hurried over to open the door: "Yishu, are you back?"

Fubao: "Brother Chongming!"

Li Chongming said with red eyes: "I was really scared that day. You suddenly disappeared and my carriage was robbed..."

Fubao: "Oh, I'm fine. Let's go inside and talk."

After entering the door, Fubao saw Chongwang who was cooking.

After not seeing each other for almost two months, he had grown taller. When he saw Fubao coming back, he was stunned for a moment, and then ran over quickly: "You're back! How are you? Are you hungry?"

Fubao shook his head.

Li Chongwang looked at Chongming who was following behind him and said with a smile: "If you hadn't delivered the message quickly, he would have already harnessed the carriage and was going to Linzhou to rescue you."

Fubao looked at Chongming with a smile.

Li Chongming was a little embarrassed and said stubbornly, "You are the same. You hired a carriage faster than anyone else, fearing that if you were a step slower, Fubao would be caught and taken out of the city."

Fu Bao: "It was an emergency, so I had to wait until I had time to pass on the message to you. I won't do that next time."
