Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

At Jiang Nianwei's signal, Abei acted quickly and accurately grabbed Jiang Shen's arm, making him unable to move.

Jiang Nianwei's tone was a little sarcastic, "Uncle, I always thought you knew how to be sympathetic to women."

Jiang Shen snorted disdainfully, with a scornful smile on his lips, "Women are just like that. If you lose one, you can always find another. As long as you have money, there is no such thing as an unlucky woman. They will all be willing to follow me."

His words made Jiang Nianwei frown. The scumbag nature of this uncle was completely exposed. No wonder even his children were so selfish.

After hearing this, Yunniang was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly hid behind Jiang Nianwei, fearing that she would be caught by Jiang Shen's gaze.

Jiang Shen kept muttering, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!"

However, he knew very well that it was useless to argue with Jiang Nianwei at this moment, not to mention that Abei was standing beside him, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and warning towards him.

He was afraid that his arm would be broken by this brat in the next second.

Jiang Shen had no choice but to suppress his anger temporarily. Before leaving, he said, "You are disrespectful to your elders!"

Jiang Nianwei turned to look at Yunniang, her tone much softer, "From now on, you should stay with us. This way, your uncle won't be able to force you anymore."

Yunniang's eyes flashed with gratitude when she heard this. She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I will always remember your kindness, but my indenture is still in his hands. If I don't please him, he will sell me to a brothel again."

This is also the reason why Yunniang is so obedient to Jiang Shen. She can still say a few words to Jiang Mian, and Jiang Shen really doesn't dare to offend her. Moreover, Jiang Shen has become more and more irritable recently, and he might sell her out again.

Jiang Nianwei thought for a moment: "If that's all, I have a way to help you."

Yunniang was puzzled, "Miss, what can you do?"

Jiang Nianwei looked around and searched for something on the ground, and finally found a few nettles under a tree.

Their juice contains toxic protein. Once it is applied to the body, it will quickly trigger an allergic reaction, causing small red bumps to appear on the skin. However, not everyone will have this allergic reaction, and only a few people are not allergic to it.

Jiang Nianwei carefully applied the nettle juice on Yunniang's hands.

Not long after, Yunniang's hands were covered with dense red rashes, which looked shocking and itchy, making people want to scratch them. After scratching, more red rashes appeared.

"You need to apply the juice of these herbs carefully to all exposed areas of your skin."

Yunniang bit her lower lip tightly, but compared with Jiang Shen's endless persecution, what was this little itch? She took a deep breath, applied the grass juice on her face little by little, and felt a tingling sensation.

"In this case, my uncle should not harass you for the time being."

When Jiang Shen saw Yunniang again, he was almost scared.

His eyes were full of astonishment, "How did your face become like this?"

Yunniang used to be pretty, but now her face is covered with rashes, which looks very scary.

Jiang Mian also avoided him from a distance, his eyes full of disgust, and he taunted, "What kind of dirty disease is this? It's really disgusting. Stay away from us and don't infect us."

Yunniang said softly with a somewhat sad tone: "Master, I have already expressed my feelings to Miss Tang. I will stay by your side for the rest of my life and will never leave you. Master, you won't dislike me for this, right?"

Jiang Shen originally had some doubts in his heart, wondering if all this was Jiang Nianwei's doing. However, the red rashes all over Yunniang's body and face were so horrifying and real that he couldn't ignore them.

He immediately felt disgusted and shouted, "Stay away from me, don't come near me!"

Yunniang looked hurt and stood aside with a helpless expression on her face.

"When we get to town, I will find someone to take care of my daily life," Jiang Shen said in a cold and firm voice without any emotion. "Before you recover, it's best to stay away from us, so as not to infect us with the disease. It's really bad luck."

He even had an impulse to leave Yunniang in this wilderness and let her fend for herself.

Fearing that there was a conspiracy hidden in this, they decided to keep Yunniang for the time being, but strictly forbade her to get close to the three of them.

At this moment, at least Yunniang would not be forced by him to do things she didn't want to do, and she felt relieved.

Yunniang glanced at Jiang Nianwei from a distance, her heart filled with gratitude.

If she had time along the way, she would take out the needle and thread and start embroidering. Although her body was itchy, it was much better than before, and she no longer had to serve the old man Jiang Shen.

……

After a long journey, a group of people finally arrived at a small town. The moment they stepped into the village, the scene before them made them feel a little nervous.

The whole town was empty, desolate, and the smell of paper money was everywhere.

It seemed that I could still hear the sound of a woman crying softly, which sounded scary and eerie.

This is actually a must-pass road. If you want to avoid this small town, you need to cross two steep mountains, which will take at least ten days.

Even the experienced officers were puzzled. "When I passed by here in the past, it was clearly a prosperous town. Why is it so desolate now?"

All we saw along the way were the remains of chickens and ducks, and the stench was so strong that it made us feel sick.

Jiang Nianwei smelled the scent of mugwort in the air. In this era, mugwort fumigation was usually used for disinfection after an epidemic.

Seeing that the officers were about to move forward, she called out to the leading officer, "Officer, I think something is wrong here. Is there a plague?"

"It is possible."

The officer looked around and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. It seemed that he might have encountered something unusual, so he decided to find a family to inquire about the situation here.

However, after visiting several stores, the doors were all closed.

People still know very little about how the disease is transmitted, but Jiang Nianwei is well aware of the risks.

Even if you touch something used by a patient, you may be infected with the terrible disease.

Therefore, she solemnly instructed everyone in the family not to get off the carriage easily.

Since her eldest brother and Abei were each driving a carriage and were exposed outside, she made them a simple mask using cotton and cloth.

It just so happened that I had confiscated a lot of strong liquor from the homes of corrupt officials before, which can be used as disinfectant alcohol for the time being.

But in the long run, we still need to find a suitable time to distill and purify these wines so that they can truly become alcohol that can be used for medical disinfection.

Jiang Nianwei suggested: "Why don't we take a detour."

The officers discussed: "It is already dark now. Even if we choose to take a detour, we will have to wait until tomorrow to set off."

One of the older officers raised his head and looked around, his eyes falling on the vague outline in the distance, "I remember there is a long-abandoned temple not far from here. Why don't we rest there for a while and continue our journey tomorrow?"

"That's all it can do."

After leaving the depressed town, the officers escorted a dozen prisoners into the dilapidated temple.

As soon as they stepped into the temple, heavy rain began to fall from the sky. Although the temple was dilapidated, fortunately it was not so bad that even the rain could not be blocked.

The officers sat at the door and chatted incoherently.

The Jiang family members built a bonfire a little further away. The flames flickered in the rain, bringing a touch of warmth to the dark temple.

There were still a few fish left from the fish that Jiang Lanxu had caught earlier. Nanny Liu cleaned them skillfully and marinated them with salt. Now, these fish could be used to make grilled fish.

A few fresh fish were slowly roasted over the jumping flames, and soon a mouth-watering fish aroma wafted out.

Jiang Lanxu naturally knew that these would first be distributed to the servants, and the remaining three fish would be enough for their family to eat.

At the same time, Chunyu was busy stewing a pot of dried meat porridge.

She chopped the air-dried beef jerky into small pieces, put it into the boiling porridge, and simmered it slowly until the beef jerky was completely absorbed into the porridge and became soft and delicious.

Then, she carefully brought the pot of fragrant dried meat porridge to Qiu Xuemei.

When Qiu Xuemei looked, she found that there were actually two bowls. It turned out that while Jiang Nianwei had asked Chunyu to cook porridge, she had secretly stewed red dates and bird's nest to nourish her body.

Qiu Xuemei held the baby in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness, but when she thought of the bumpy road ahead, she couldn't help but start to worry. Fortunately, her in-laws took good care of her along the way, which relieved some of her worries.

The baby, who was just a few days old, was still full of curiosity about this strange world. He wore a tiger-head hat made by Yunniang on his head, which looked very cute.

Jiang Shen's family no longer had enough food. They had originally planned to replenish their rations after arriving in the town, but unfortunately the officers were afraid and refused to go to the town, so they had to give up.

Jiang Mian watched with eager eyes as his uncle's family sat together and enjoyed the delicious grilled fish, while they could only chew on steamed bread that was as cold and hard as stone. The feeling in his heart was indescribable, so he prepared to ask Jiang Nianwei for some food as he did before.

But just as she took a step, she found that Jiang Siyu had already put the last piece of fish into her mouth, and her satisfied expression seemed to be mocking their predicament.

This time, they didn't even have the slightest thought of sharing.

A pinch of rice will bring resentment, a pinch of rice will bring gratitude. This situation made Jiang Mian feel even more angry.

Qin Ziqian was sitting not far from Jiang Mian, eating a cold, hard steamed bun like them.

These past few days, he suddenly found that his body was weak and he had some strength. He thought that it was probably due to being tired from traveling all the way. If he had a chance, he would find a doctor to see what had happened. He did not have any other doubts.

In response to Jiang Mian's complaints, he also responded in a disjointed manner.

Until the rain outside became heavier, a village woman in simple clothes suddenly appeared outside the temple, with a beautiful woman beside her.

The officer stopped them at the door, and the village woman explained miserably, "Officer, my daughter is sick. Can you please rest for a while? We will leave here tomorrow morning."

The two men looked harmless, so the officers let them find a spot in a corner as long as they did not disturb their rest.

The woman in the bamboo hat huddled in the corner and coughed twice. Jiang Nianwei immediately sensed something was wrong.

She asked her eldest sister-in-law to take the child to the other side, and asked everyone else to stay in a corner, keeping a distance from the two men.

It seems that her guess was correct. There was a plague rampant in this area and these two people already had early symptoms.

If this continues, there is no telling whether there is a possibility of being infected along the way.

The adults could still survive, but my eldest brother’s child had just been born and my eldest sister-in-law was in confinement after childbirth and was weak. If they were infected with the plague, the consequences would be disastrous.

Along the way, she would give her family spiritual spring water to strengthen their physique and resist the invasion of diseases, but facing the plague, she knew that this was an unpredictable gamble, and she could not and dared not take the risk.

In fact, today's plagues, in modern times, include plague, smallpox, influenza, cholera, malaria, etc. Combined with the corpses of chickens and ducks seen in the town today, it is very likely avian influenza, which is a type of influenza A.

When it was late at night and everyone had gone to sleep, she entered the space and began to look through the medical skills she had collected before. Among them was a medical book that happened to record this kind of plague that was contagious between humans and animals.

One of the prescriptions uses Chinese herbs such as Forsythia suspensa, honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Isatis indigotica to relieve symptoms.

However, traditional Chinese medicine takes effect slowly. To completely cure the disease, modern drugs such as oseltamivir and acyclovir are needed.

Just when she was worried, she found that the space covered by fog was slowly dissipating, and she could see rows of medicine shelves in front of her.

There were also rows of labels below. These medicines could not be purchased with money, but were exchanged for vegetables and fruits she grew in the space. Jiang Nianwei tried to exchange ten boxes of oseltamivir with the ten tomatoes she had just grown, and it actually worked. In this way, she was 90% sure.

The dawn of the early morning came quietly, and the two men did not stay long and were preparing to pack up and leave.

The woman kept coughing and staggering. She quickly put on a mask, walked forward quickly, and called out to the mother and daughter softly, "This lady seems to be unwell. I know a little about medicine. Why don't you let me take a look?"

The village woman stood in front of the woman and said with a worried look on her face: "We are planning to go to the town to find a doctor to see the young lady."

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly and told the truth about what she saw yesterday: "We just happened to pass by the town yesterday. The situation there is really not optimistic."

Hearing this, the woman burst into tears and choked up, saying, "What should we do? Where should we go?"

Jiang Nianwei continued, "I guess you two may not be mother and daughter. This nanny should be this young lady's personal attendant, right?"

When they heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes and they looked at each other.

However, when the nanny looked at Jiang Nianwei's young face, and considering that she was a prisoner being escorted, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. She pursed her lips, chose to remain silent, and did not respond.

The young lady, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. She said bluntly, "You are right. We are indeed not mother and daughter. I came to town specially to visit my father."

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly. The other party was frank, so she no longer avoided the question and continued to ask, "Have you felt feverish recently, a dull headache, a dry and sore throat, and nausea and abdominal pain?"

The young lady was surprised when she heard what Jiang Nianwei said, "How did you know that?"

Jiang Nianwei told the truth and handed the medicine package to the woman: "You may have been infected with the plague. Take these medicines and take them according to the instructions."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the middle-aged man and several people rushing to the front of the temple, and they all covered their mouths and noses with white cloth.

The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Zhenzhen, why are you here?"
