The wife of two taels of silver

Chapter 120 I Don’t Think You Love Me

After lunch, the Anmin Army began to set off separately.

In the morning, the people responsible for which infected areas had been assigned, including the number of snow-cold flower seeds and the "snow-cold flower planting experts" who would accompany the army to the infected areas.

Each infected area is equipped with two experts, led by three soldiers of the Security Army to the infected areas.

The entire Zhanglin County population appeared at the city gate and came to see off the Anmin Army.

This morning, Aunt Wang led everyone in baking nearly fifty pancakes and gave each of them a small bag of pancakes for them to eat on the road.

The old gentlemen and County Magistrate Zheng stood at the front. Yang Zhiwen, with red eyes, said to Zhao Hongwei, "General Zhao, have a safe journey."

"Doctor Yang," Zhao Hongwei patted Yang Zhiwen on the shoulder and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission."

The Kang Dynasty was in a precarious situation during this period. The dignitaries usually fought each other fiercely. When they first heard about the febrile disease, they were somewhat dismissive. They thought it was okay if it couldn't be cured, and they could just burn all the people in Zhanglin County to death. As a result, within a few days, the febrile disease quickly swept the entire Kang Dynasty, and even cases appeared around the capital, and an entire village was infected.

At this point, those people suddenly realized that in order to save their own lives, they had to find a way to cure the febrile disease.

An Minjun's back gradually disappeared at the end of the road, and Zhanglin County suddenly became less populated, appearing even more deserted.

Shi Wei hunched over and walked to Lin Haitang's side: "Girl, what are your plans next?"

Lin Haitang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, well, I just need to discuss it with you guys."

Bang! Old Man Shi patted his chest and said confidently, "Just ask me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If I can't do it, I will do my best to do it for you!"

"I'm relieved with your words!" Lin Haitang said with a smile, and then said, "Let's go to the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau to discuss it. It's hard to explain it right now."

The Kang Dynasty got into such a big trouble this time because it was poisoned. Even now, although there is a way to detoxify, there are always more people who are not poisoned than those who are poisoned. It is only a matter of time before those who do not have febrile disease are infected. If all the people in the Kang Dynasty have to get febrile disease in turn, they will be lambs to be slaughtered.

Lin Haitang now has an idea, which is to promote anti-infection pills to all the people in Kang Dynasty, just like the Anmin Army, ten pills per person. This will not only ensure the social operation of Kang Dynasty, but also ensure that Kang Dynasty has a stable armed force.

After finishing his words, Lin Haitang asked the old gentlemen, "Master, is this the truth? If people are really infected one after another, and those who were previously infected haven't recovered yet, and now there are new infections, if someone comes to attack us at this time, we in the Kang Dynasty will have no power to fight back."

The five old men fell silent, speechless.

"To make anti-infection pills, we also need a large amount of snow-honey flowers. If we really want to do it, we will need a lot of land to plant snow-honey flowers. Now that the weather is still cold, we can still plant a crop. If it is delayed for a few days, we won't be able to plant it even if we want to." Lin Haitang deliberately made the time very tight to create a sense of oppression for them.

Lin Haitang looked at Yang Zhiwen and said, "Old Yang, please tell His Majesty about this. This matter is of great importance. Also, the anti-infection pills don't have to be free, but the price can't be too high. I suggest a price of one penny for five pills."

Yang Zhiwen agreed with everything else, but disagreed on the price: "Isn't five pills for one penny too cheap?"

Lin Haitang shook his head and said, "Master, this price is just right. Even the poorest can afford it. You know, some families have five or six children. If the price is too high, they won't have the money."

After a long pause, Yang Zhiwen nodded and said, "Haitang, I'll do as you say. I'll write a secret letter to His Majesty right now."

The carrier pigeon flew away with the secret letter, and also brought Kang Chao's hope.

After returning to the room, Lin Haitang first calculated the remaining quantities of various medicinal materials in the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau to see how many anti-infection pills could be made.

Lin Haitang was writing and drawing on the paper, and Gu An was watching him silently, replaying what Lin Haitang said this morning in his mind.

Finally figured it out. Lin Haitang looked at the data above and realized that she could make about 3,000 more pills.

"Can you still──" Lin Haitang raised the pen and paper, turned her head to look at Gu An, and Lin Haitang's voice stopped abruptly. She finally realized that something was wrong with Gu An.

Lin Haitang leaned forward, waved the hand holding the brush in front of his eyes, frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? You feel weird."

Gu An walked up silently and held Lin Haitang in his arms. He held her and sat on the edge of the bed, whispering, "Lin Haitang, I don't think you love me."

Lin Haitang was baffled and said, "Why would I be with you if I don't love you? Am I sick?"

"But what you said today at Chen Shi, your life is the same with or without me, you don't care about my leaving at all." Gu An still had his hair in a high ponytail, he buried his head in Lin Haitang's collarbone, his lips pressed against Lin Haitang's neck.

Lin Haitang now understood why Gu An felt uncomfortable.

"Gu An, what was your favorite food when you were a child?" Lin Haitang stroked Gu An's hair and asked an unrelated question.

Gu An didn't react for a moment, subconsciously thinking about her answer, but found that he didn't have an answer, so he said: "I kind of forgot."

"So, you see, no one can guarantee forever." Lin Haitang's voice was still gentle, and she said, "When you were a child, your favorite food, you thought you would like it for the rest of your life, but now, you have forgotten what it was."

Gu An was a little anxious. He raised his head, put his palms tightly against Lin Haitang's waist, and said, "No, these two can't be compared at all!"

Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "Gu An, it's all the same. I know that you love me at the moment, and that's enough. I love you too. We should just live in the present and not promise something vague and illusory."

"As for what you just said about not caring about you leaving, you're wrong." Lin Haitang said slowly, "I do love you, and we've been together for a while. If you suddenly said you wanted to leave me, that you didn't love me anymore, I would of course be sad, and even live in a daze for quite a long time. But your heart is no longer with me, and I won't keep you any longer."

"Now, you love me, I love you, and we are still together. That's enough." Lin Haitang looked at Gu An seriously, her eyes so focused as if they were the only two left in the world.
