Space Food Storage: Daily Travel
Chapter 44 The Dust Settles after the Famine Escape
From that day on, Huo Dong joined the patrol team.
In addition to continuing to beat drums and gongs to order people to stay at home, the yamen runners also asked if there were any patients with high fever.
They also added a rule: Don't keep it secret. Otherwise, not only will you bring trouble to your entire family, you'll also be thrown into jail. Or maybe just burn it without treatment.
We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. Isolation in other villages and towns is also becoming increasingly complete. Rat and flea control and disinfection efforts continue.
Not to mention that everyone cooperated a lot under such high pressure.
Through Dr. Liu and others' continuous testing of medicinal materials, combined with Liu Yuhan's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs, Cefotaxime Capsules... the situation gradually improved, fewer people died, and fewer and fewer people were sent in.
Early in the morning, Liu Yuhan went to check on the five young patients she was in charge of as usual.
The three older children had recovered and were transferred away for isolation, but Wenjing refused to leave and stayed to take care of her younger brother and another child.
The two children had woken up and were gradually getting better. Liu Yuhan accidentally learned that Wen Jing and Wen Qing had some intricate relationship with the prefect Wen Tianming.
In short, it was the child of a cousin from their father's father's generation. It turned out they were from a prominent family with considerable wealth. Knowing that the prefect would help take care of the child, Liu Yuhan felt relieved.
Day after day, Liu Yuhan, besides being busy at the pharmacy and the house, would also learn how to take people's pulses from Doctor Liu. He would record his learning as he went along. Ten days passed like this.
It was almost mid-September. They had been in the city for half a month, but the city was still closed.
Liu Yuhan had already informed the prefect, Doctor Liu, and others that they would remain indoors for at least another half a week until the last patient was cured. They were not allowed to leave the city for the next month.
They will quarantine themselves in the backyard of the pharmacy for three days. There is no problem. If they want to return to the village to find their fellow villagers, they will take precautions and will never gather in crowded places.
Because of Shan Lin's revelation, Liu Yuhan wanted to get more drugs and poison. She gave Doctor Liu two prescriptions, which she had found on Baidu. She specifically asked him for more drugs and poison.
Doctor Liu was naturally very happy to do so. He gave her some more drugs and poisons, and also gave her the prescription. The two of them went back and forth, with perfect tacit understanding.
Special arrangements for special people.
The prefect Wen Tianming was grateful for Liu Yuhan's righteousness and said he would go to the capital to commend her for her achievements, but Liu Yuhan refused.
The government office was short of funds, so Wen Tianming gave her a hundred taels of silver from his own private treasury. He also gave her a map of the south, circled Fu'an City, and a letter of recommendation, telling her that he knew the Huo family and that Liu Yuhan could go to Fu'an to find them. Was it that Huo family?
Liu Yuhan didn't ask, and he gladly accepted all three things.
Wen Tianming wanted to introduce Liu Yuhan to his nephew.
What a stubborn idiot! Whenever I mention introducing a girl to him, he makes an excuse to walk away.
What a pity, what a pity, such a good girl. He couldn't believe that she was a girl who had fled from the countryside.
His demeanor, his conversationalism, his composure, his graceful handwriting, his power, his knowledge of disease treatment, his lack of panic in the face of patients. Though still young, his depth was unfathomable.
Wen Tianming really felt sorry for his nephew for a long time.
Huo Dong has been in self-isolation. Today is the fifth day. He will have to stay for another five days before he has to set off.
Because of Wen Tianming's words, he naturally knew about all the good deeds Liu Yuhan had done. He also knew that Liu Yuhan and others were going to leave.
At midnight, everyone was sleeping soundly and there was not a sound.
Huo Dong climbed over the wall and walked to the backyard of the drugstore where Liu Yuhan lived and sat down.
He had been patrolling every day in the past few days, so naturally he often went to the pharmacy. With just a little inquiry, he found out that the girl's name was Liu Han, and she was passing by here while preparing to flee south.
They are going to the south, if...
After this, he often said to Wen Tianming, intentionally or unintentionally, that Fu'an City was vast and sparsely populated, suitable for growing crops, but unfortunately lacked talent...
It was not until Wen Tianming gave Liu Yuhan the letter of introduction and the map that he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Did he want to keep this talented person? Or did he want to know her secret that night?
It was not until the rooster crowed that Huo Dong quietly left.
Everything is settled.
But how many people have lost their families and lives because of this plague...
Liu Yuhan and his parents quietly left the city with the order from the prefect. After leaving the city, they found a place to wash up, took off all their clothes and burned them.
I put on the clothes I had taken from the space and disinfected myself from head to toe. I walked towards the small village where I had been stationed. It was already night when I arrived.
They decided to stay in the small village tonight and head into the mountains early tomorrow morning. It had been twenty days since they left. They didn't know what had become of the villagers. They wondered if they had found a source of water, or if they had enough food and water.
At night, Liu Yuhan entered the space and pulled out the already tall rice seedlings and planted them in the three mu field. Fortunately, he had a rice transplanter. He only planted one mu tonight and would continue tomorrow.
I cooked chestnut braised pork ribs. I'll be serving it to my family tomorrow. I set my alarm for eight hours and went to sleep. I've been so exhausted these past few days. I don't dare go into my space to rest.
A dreamless night.
At noon, Liu Yuhan and his parents had breakfast and rushed to the mountains.
After walking for an hour, when they were almost there, Liu Yuhan took out two bags of rice from the space, and Liu Shinan carried the two bags of rice and walked ahead of them. Even though he was said to be very strong, his wife still didn't believe it.
Xiao Si, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, saw them first.
"Sister! Mom and Dad!" he shouted and ran over.
"Woo woo woo...you guys are finally back!"
Liu Shinan picked up his son and Xiaowu as well.
"Do you miss your dad? Did you listen to your grandparents?"
"Yeah, Dad, we are obedient. Put me down. I want to go find my sister (Mom)."
"This brat!"
Everyone who stayed in the cave came out one after another, and when they saw them coming back, they all greeted them. Liu Daling and Old Lady Jiang also came over.
Liu Shinan and his wife knelt down in front of the two elders. "Dad and Mom, I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry."
"Hey, get up, get up. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay." The two elders responded and helped them up.
The two elders looked much more haggard. Even their gray hair, mixed with their black hair, had turned even whiter.
"Daniel, are you all right too?"
"Grandma and Grandma, we are all fine. Let's go inside and talk."
"Alas, you are all tired. Go back to the cave and rest first. Everyone else should get back to work. We can chat again when the village chief comes back."
The crowd didn't dare to ask any more questions and dispersed.
I went into my own little cave. Except for my grandparents, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, no one else was there.
Liu Yuhan entered the cave and swept the water tanks and wooden barrels, but there was no food or water left.
I took the steamed buns and baozi I'd heated up this morning from my space account. I also had a few water bags filled with chrysanthemum tea. I told my grandparents to eat first, and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to eat first.
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu ate with big mouthfuls of food and choked.
Liu Yuhan and Liu Shinan were both heartbroken. They had all lost weight.
It's been 20 days. I guess the food is almost gone. We only have one meal a day. I don't know how long my family has been hungry.
The two elders also ate with relish, and Liu Yuhan took out some beef jerky and candy from the space for them to eat. Liu Shinan told the two elders about their experience in Yiyang City.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I have a map given by the prefect, as well as a letter of recommendation. Let's go to Fu'an City in the south. I heard that the land there is vast and sparsely populated, which is very suitable for growing rice. Let's settle there."
"We left the mountain and went straight around Yiyang City to the next city. The prefect gave us a lot of food because of our help, and we have hidden it in the small village, right, Dad?" Liu Yu blinked at Liu Shinan.
Liu Shinan coughed and said, "Yes, we gave a lot of food, and it's hidden in the small village."
Liu patted him in amusement. "Just tell the village chief and the others later. Let Xiaohan rest. You figure out what to say. Got it?"
Liu Shinan nodded.
I heard from the two elders that the village chief and his men had gone to the mountains farther away to find food and water. Sometimes it was too far and they would not come back until later.
The food that had been hidden in the cave had been slowly taken out and eaten.
The food left by Liu Yuhan, plus the food everyone else contributed, totaled about 1300 kilograms. With 400 people, no matter how frugal they were, even if they only ate one meal a day, there wouldn't be much left.
They usually cook porridge with wild vegetables, or yam, wild vegetables, and brown rice. They also eat nearby tree bark. There's no telling when this drought will end.
Fortunately, Liu Yuhan left some food for their little cave, and Old Lady Jiang and Aunt Jiang often secretly cooked some food for the children.
At noon, except for Liu Shihu and his son Liu Yang, Yang Nianhua did not return. Everyone else came back one after another, picked some wild vegetables, and chopped some firewood.
The family was ecstatic to see them back.
Liu Yuhan had already taken out the chestnut braised pork ribs rice that she had cooked in the space. She packed it up for her family to eat when they returned.
Old Mrs. Jiang asked them to sit further inside the cave and close the door at the entrance.
Everyone ate in silence, relishing the delicious meal. Especially Liu Shiliu and her two sons, Yang Zhi and Yang Rong. It was the first time they had eaten such a delicious meal, and it was all white rice!
Old Lady Jiang had already told them that this was a reward from the prefect, and that the family should just eat it and not say too much, or else spread the news and make others dislike them. The mother and son nodded repeatedly.
At 10: PM, the villagers, hunters, and strong men who had gone out to look for food and water finally returned with some goodies: over ten pheasants and rabbits, already gathered. They also brought water.
They had to travel further to find these things. The mountains around here weren't very high. There weren't many animals. They didn't go deep into the mountains.
The group of people didn't care about taking a break and surrounded Liu Shinan. Liu Shinan asked them to drink some porridge first, and he sat beside them and told them about Yiyang City...
