Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la
Chapter 193 The bandits are heading south!
Seeing that Ning Zhao was suffering from a fever, Jiang Yuwei quickly put on her clothes and went to get some spiritual spring water to wipe Ning Zhao's body. She then found a towel, wet it, and placed it on Ning Zhao's head to help him dissipate the heat.
Jiang Yuwei remembered that there was a honeysuckle tree at the foot of the back mountain, so she hurriedly took the basket and went out. After a while, she picked a full basket of honeysuckle.
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Yuwei first took out some honeysuckle to boil a pot of hot water, then boiled a pot of white porridge, mixed two cold dishes, and then called everyone out for breakfast.
Jiang Yuwei made a bowl of porridge for Ning Huaizhi and handed it to him, saying:
"I see Ning Zhao has a high fever today. I want to stay at home to look after Ning Zhao. You take care of the store. By the way, take Wan'er with you to help when you leave. I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower if I don't go today. Take Wan'er to the store to prevent her from catching a cold at home."
Ning Huai nodded with a worried look in his eyes:
"Okay, then you will have to take care of Ning Zhao. Just leave the store matters to me, don't worry."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and poured the boiled honeysuckle water into the bathtub, and asked Ning Wu and Tiezhu to help carry the bathtub to Ning Zhao's room.
After Jiang Yuwei closed the doors and windows tightly, she helped Ning Zhao take off his clothes and carried him to the bathtub to soak in a honeysuckle medicinal bath. Jiang Yuwei wiped Ning Zhao's body while adding hot water to the basin, which could better help Ning Zhao drive away the cold and induce sweating.
When Jiang Yuwei saw Ning Zhao wake up, she hurried out to get a bowl of honeysuckle water and slowly fed it to Ning Zhao. Then she went out to get a bowl of rice porridge and brought in a plate of pickles to feed Ning Zhao.
However, Ning Zhao was still dizzy from the fever and had almost no appetite. He ate less than half a bowl of rice porridge and only a few bites of pickled vegetables. Jiang Yuwei was very anxious seeing this.
Jiang Yuwei wiped Ning Zhao's body and put him on the bed. Then she went to her room and got another quilt to cover Ning Zhao. Seeing that Ning Zhao fell into a deep sleep again, Jiang Yuwei took a cool towel and put it on Ning Zhao's head.
Then he fetched some white wine and wiped Ning Zhao's palms, soles of feet and armpits. Then he covered Ning Zhao with a quilt, closed the doors and windows, and came out.
Jiang Yuwei kneaded the dough and baked a lot of pancakes, heating up the kang where Ning Zhao lay. Then she went to the yard to clean the courtyard. While she was cleaning the stove, she saw Li Zheng rushing in in a panic.
"Yuwei, stop being busy. Come here quickly. I have something to tell you!"
Seeing the nervous look on the head of the village, Jiang Yuwei naturally did not dare to neglect him. She quickly put down the rag in her hand, took off her apron, and invited the head of the village to sit down at the stone table.
"Li Zheng, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?"
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei picked up the tea on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for Lizheng.
Seeing this, the village head waved his hands and said:
"No need to rush. I came here today to tell you that there is news from the government that there is an uprising in Guanxi, and a large number of bandits are coming to our south!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's hand holding the teacup trembled a few times.
"Li Zheng, is this news confirmed to be true?"
The head frowned and nodded:
"It's true. I didn't believe it at first. But, Sunjia Village had already been massacred. I heard that no one was left alive in the village. This incident made everyone panic. I thought your yard was really eye-catching, and you opened a paper mill. I was afraid..."
Jiang Yuwei's face was full of worry after hearing this. She naturally knew how serious this was. These bandits would kill people without blinking an eye just for their livelihood. She was afraid that even if she wanted to buy her life with money, it would be in vain.
The more Jiang Yuwei thought about it, the more worried she became. Ning Huaizhi's leg had just started to get better, but Ning Zhao's high fever wouldn't go away. If the bandits from Guanxi really came to Ningjia Village, the lives of her family would be in danger.
The village head looked at Jiang Yuwei and sighed:
"Yuwei, I thought your home is at the foot of this mountain, far from the village. I was afraid that you would not know the situation and would panic. It would be dangerous if no one would respond. So I told you the news as soon as I got it. You should make plans early."
Seeing the headman finish the tea in the cup, Jiang Yuwei stood up and hurriedly followed suit and said:
"I would like to thank the head of the village for informing me of this matter. If it weren't for him, I would probably still be in the dark."
The village head waved his hand and said:
"You are good friends with my Ning Qiu. When something like this happened, I naturally had to inform you earlier. Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I still have to rush to discuss countermeasures with the village elders."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly sent the head of the village out.
After the head of the village left, Jiang Yuwei sat down and thought carefully. It was impossible to move the whole family just because she heard the news. After all, this small courtyard had cost her a lot of time and money, and it also contained many happy memories.
If he had not had to, he would never move away. After all, his shop on North Street had just been opened, and he had just made back the money he had used to buy the shop. He had just recouped his investment, but had not yet started to make a formal profit. If he left now, all his previous plans would have been in vain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei stood up and looked around her own courtyard, pacing back and forth in the courtyard. The most important thing at the moment was to strengthen the protection inside and outside the courtyard, and then put all the important things into the space.
Jiang Yuwei ran to the backyard and looked at the chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs in the pen. She thought that if there really were bandits attacking, people's lives would be in danger, and these things should not be allowed to fall into the hands of those people.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei began to kill chickens and sheep, preparing to store all these things in the space, so that even if she was forced to flee on the road at the last moment, she would still be able to eat meat.
Jiang Yuwei was busy for the whole afternoon before she finally dealt with all these things. Then she went into the room to check on Ning Zhao. Seeing that his fever had subsided, she hurriedly changed a cool towel for him.
Then she went out of the yard to cut bamboo. Jiang Yuwei planned to make more bamboo arrows and crossbows for backup. It would be best to dig a tunnel in the yard to get out.
After Jiang Yuwei cut the bamboo back, she was busy making a lot of crossbows, which could be fixed on the original wall and set up pull ropes, so that they could hold out for a while if thieves came.
When Jiang Yuwei finished making the crossbow, she drew a blueprint based on the appearance of the yard, and planned to ask everyone to help dig a tunnel for escape tonight.
When Jiang Yuwei finished all this, she saw Ning Zhao coming out, leaning against the wall. His face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he kept coughing:
"Ahem... Mom, Mom, what are you busy with?"
Jiang Yuwei turned around and saw the weak Ning Zhao. She hurried over to support him, then reached out and touched his forehead before speaking:
"Be careful not to get caught in the wind. If you need anything, just ask me to get it. You just got over the fever and you're still weak."
