That morning, Li Chongwang stretched out at the door, basking in the sun, and said comfortably, "My uncle's wound has almost healed, and he can get up and walk on his own."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Bao who was grinding medicine beside him and said, "What method did you use? That woman really didn't come again."

Fu Bao stopped, handed the brewed medicine to him and said, "I didn't do anything to her, I just noticed that she looked a little strange."

Li Chongwang took it and drank it all, frowning bitterly and asked, "Could it be that she is also infected with the disease?"

Fubao nodded.

Li Chongwang was no longer calm, and said worriedly, "We see each other almost every few days, and we talk so close to each other, we won't be infected, right?"

Since bringing the Ye family back, they have hardly seen each other. Except for Fubao and Ye Xuan going in and out of their room every day, they have almost no contact. Even so, Fubao still fumigates medicine in the house every day.

And now, they were in close contact with an infected person without any protection, which made him really worried.

Fubao: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Even if you get sick, I can cure you."

Li Chongwang's face wrinkled into a ball. He could hear Old Man Ye's heart-wrenching cough day and night, and he even vomited several times.

Seeing how worried he was, Fu Bao smiled and decided not to scare him: "The medicine I give you to drink every day can prevent diseases. You don't go out every day. The house is well ventilated and clean, so nothing will happen."

The disease is not contagious quickly, and Fubao discovered from his daily observations outside that one can only be infected if one stays in a poorly ventilated place with a patient for a long time.

The doctors outside also discovered this. This disease is not difficult to treat, but for some reason, it cannot be eradicated. More and more people are infected, and Fubao feels a little uneasy. Combined with what Mr. Ye said before, the source of the epidemic is in Linzhou...something is wrong.

Fu Bao carried the medicine bowl into Li Shuheng's room, looked at the man who was half lying on the bed reading, and said, "Uncle, it's time to take the medicine."

Li Shuheng took the bowl and drank it all, without changing his expression, and said, "I just heard today that you went to the military camp. How is the situation there?"

Fu Bao: "Not bad. There is enough food and grass, and there have been great improvements in weapons." Even explosives are used, isn't that an improvement in weapons?

Li Shuheng nodded: "That's good. I haven't done anything these days and I don't know what the situation is like now."

Fubao: "Your injury will heal soon, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise from the alley outside. This was one of the quietest places in Yuzhou. It was a safer place where high-ranking officials and wealthy families gathered. This was also the reason why Fubao chose this place.

But now, the noise outside was getting closer and closer, making her wonder.

Several guards immediately stood up and went out to check. Fubao immediately ran out from the inner room and called out to them, "Wait a minute!"

The tall and thin guard asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to go out and take a look?"

Fu Bao: "From the sound, there should be quite a few people here. Let's not open the door yet and go to the eaves to check the situation."

He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he flew onto the roof. It was still quite far away and the houses were relatively close together, so it was difficult to see what was happening outside for a moment.

Fubao looked at the door and said to Chongming and Chongwang, "Brother, go and close the door. Check it several times. If it doesn't work, move a cabinet to block the door."

The two nodded and quickly ran to the door. Not only did they lock it three times, they also moved the large rocks and cabinets next to it to hold the door firmly in place.

Fu Bao looked at the figure half-lying on the eaves and observing, and said, "I don't know what's going on outside. Be careful and don't get caught."

It's best not to make any noise for now; it's safer to pretend that no one lives there.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately put his finger to his lips and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, it's coming."

The scattered footsteps were getting closer and closer. Chongming and Chongwang, who were only separated from them by a door, didn't even dare to breathe.

The people outside were very noisy, including men, women, young and old, and the sound of coughing was deafening.

Fu Bao clearly heard someone shouting in dissatisfaction: "Why are only people from Yuzhou allowed in? Are our lives not lives? The court is incompetent and lost Linzhou. Otherwise, how could we have fallen to this point?"

Someone echoed, "That's right, those doctors are all quacks, sent by the Yuzhou government to fool us, we can't trust them."

A child coughed and cried, "I'm hungry, Daddy and Mommy, I'm so hungry."

The crying of the child made the group even more excited: "If the court doesn't care about us, we will fight for it ourselves! The people living here are all rich people in Yuzhou. If we rob them, we will have money to pay for the treatment. We can also live well and become rich. Even if we die, it is better to live comfortably for a few days than to die of illness under the wall of Yuzhou."

Fu Bao frowned. There were too many signs of guidance here. It was obvious that several people had been instigating them to do evil.

What she worried about happened. Having been tortured by illness for too long, she had already lost her trust in the government and the court. After being instigated by this, several people immediately went to break down the door.

Fubao clearly heard the sound of the woman's door being smashed. Chongwang whispered, "She always said that our door was too broken and it made her sick just by looking at it. Now, she must be regretting it."

Fubao didn't say anything. She could clearly hear the woman yelling in the yard: "Who is banging on the door without a care in the world? You can't afford to live like this. This is robbery! I'm calling the police right now!"

The people outside were banging harder and harder. Fubao frowned as the banging sounds continued. The door of another family seemed to be ajar. She could clearly hear the sound of dragging footsteps entering the gate next door, and then the sound of chaos inside.

They usually don't go out, and the neighbors next door haven't seen them either. All they heard was the man of the house yelling, "Where did you come from? You're breaking into my house, you're a robber!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he could hear his screams and the angry curses of the group of people: "You scoundrel? Today, I will let you see how powerful I am!"

Then the woman begged: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, just take whatever you want..."

The child's shrill cry almost pierced everyone's eardrums, and Fubao's heart trembled violently.

What followed was the sound of his door being smashed.

"This door is so broken, there shouldn't be many good things inside."

"So much nonsense. Any bit of it that slips out from between their fingers is enough to keep us alive for a long time. Smash them to pieces. No one can escape."

……

Although the door is a bit old, it is made of good wood and is thick enough. In addition, they have been prepared for it, so it is difficult to open it for a while.
