Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Sun Wan was also frightened. She glared at Su Chongsong fiercely and said bluntly, "What you have is not a cold, it's a plague!"

"Damn plague! This evil creature was just spitting blood, yet he still tricked us into coming here and forced us to treat you. He is truly a rebellious son who deserves to be struck by lightning!"

After saying this, Sun Wan was still angry and stepped forward to kick Su Chongsong hard.

"Ow!"

Su Chongsong screamed and cowered behind an old man.

When the old man heard that he and his family had been infected with the plague, his face was stunned for a moment, and then replaced by fear and panic.

"Dear benefactors, please, if you can save our family, we will be grateful and remember it in our hearts!"

The old man fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. This scene made the villagers of Darong Village even more upset.

It turns out that whether they are from the same family or not, they still have the same ideas!

Everyone didn't want to deal with these two people anymore and was about to turn around and leave this den of trouble, but unexpectedly the door behind them was suddenly pushed open again.

Immediately afterwards, a basin of muddy sewage fell from the sky and poured down!

The villagers of Darong Village had already turned halfway around, and when they heard the sound, they turned back reflexively, having never expected such a sudden change to happen.

In an instant, except for a few people standing a little further away, everyone else was splashed by the dirty water!

"oops!"

There were screams one after another. Everyone was shocked and angry. What was even more difficult to accept was the potentially fatal plague. Everyone was so angry that they were shaking all over, their eyes wide open, staring at the person who poured water!

I saw a skinny old woman, holding an empty basin in her hand, standing at the door and shivering.

Feeling everyone's gaze, she dropped the basin in her hand with a clang and fell to her knees: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please bless me, I beg you all to have mercy!"

"My daughter is in her prime and is pregnant with your Su family's child, so nothing can happen to her..."

Suddenly, the villagers of Darong Village were completely furious!

Zhang Daniu was soaked to the skin. He couldn't imagine what was in the basin of water. He waved his hand and picked up the old woman: "You old fool!"

"You've contracted the plague, so you want to drag us down with you and force us to save people?"

"Cunning and vicious, bah!"

Zhang Daniu spat in the old woman's face, and the others could no longer tolerate it and started cursing.

The family was still kneeling on the ground, crying and begging.

How can they be a family? They are clearly shameless and ignorant people who don't know how to live or die!

The villagers of Darong Village were so angry that they felt pain in their chests. They didn't know whether it was the effect of the sewage or the cold wind that poured cold water on their heads, but many people began to feel headaches and fevers.

Everyone retreated to the eaves of the opposite house and looked at the family with disgust.

The village chief and Sun Wan looked extremely unhappy.

"Don't worry about it. Go find a place and change all your clothes. Dry your body and boil your clothes to disinfect them."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, everyone did not dare to delay and quickly dispersed.

As he passed by the three men, each of them spat fiercely on the ground.

Su Chongsong hid behind his father-in-law, not daring to look up. He waited until the crowd dispersed before he quietly looked at Sun Wan and Su Rongze.

Neither of them looked back until those people completely disappeared at the end of the alley.

Something seemed to pass through Su Chongsong's mind.

Unfortunately, it happened too quickly and he didn't notice any difference.

"Follow them, they will come into contact with sewage and will definitely get sick. Chongsong, are you sure those people really have a way?"

The voice of his father-in-law Lu Zhenxin brought Su Chongsong back to his senses, and he thought to himself.

"I heard what the village chief said. Since he knows about our illness, he must have a cure."

"Good boy, it's all thanks to you, otherwise your unborn child would be in danger."

When he heard the mention of "Wan Niang", tenderness flashed in Su Chongsong's eyes, and the self-blame caused by his mother's reproach just now disappeared in an instant.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm here to make sure Wanniang can get to Huizhou safely!"

Lu Zhenxin patted Su Chongsong on the back, full of relief. The father-in-law and son-in-law did not dare to stay any longer, and forced themselves to keep up with Sun Wan and others despite their weak bodies.

Sun Wan and her companions encountered heavy snow and wind along the way, making every step difficult.

In order to avoid the spread of filth on their bodies, they did not even dare to return to the city to join the main force, and could only find an abandoned house to temporarily shelter.

Fortunately, there were two large iron pots in the house, and everyone hurriedly lit the fire.

A pot was used to boil water. Sun Wan seized the opportunity and quietly added some spiritual spring water into it.

Plague is no joke; it concerns life and death. Sun Wan no longer cares about hiding the secret. She keeps thinking how nice it would be if she could just drink a sip of the spiritual spring water.

The pot on the other side is used to boil clothes.

Men and women were separated into separate rooms, and each took off their clothes in the room and passed them out. Those lucky enough not to be affected by the sewage were responsible for boiling and disinfecting them.

When life and death are at stake, who cares about face anymore? All I can do is regret why I couldn't avoid the harassment of that crazy family!

Soon, the drinking water boiled. Although there was no ginger, it could be used to drive away the cold.

Maybe it was just a psychological issue, but after drinking the water, everyone felt a lot more comfortable.

The clothes were boiled for two full hours before being taken out and dried over the fire. During this time, everyone in the house was almost frozen into popsicles.

The men huddled together shyly to keep warm, while the women reluctantly stayed in their own corners, relying on the little hot water to hold on.

Fortunately, the clothes were not thick to begin with, so everyone put them on impatiently after they were half dry, and gathered around the stove in the kitchen to warm themselves together.

Everyone was nervous all night. If they felt the slightest discomfort in their throat, they would be as nervous as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Unfortunately, God did not favor the villagers of Darong Village.

Late at night, someone finally started to have a fever and coughing sounds came one after another.

The village chief quickly isolated those with fever and cough. By dawn, more than half of the people were already drowsy with fever.

Some people even vomited blood and phlegm.

Those who had not yet developed a fever listened helplessly to the painful groans in the room and stared blankly at Sun Wan.

Sun Wan's face looked extremely heavy.

This time, her eldest son was naturally not spared.

After all, he was closest to the door at that time, and he was the one who supported the exhausted Su Chongsong forward many times on the road.

"A day has passed and we haven't had a fever yet, so we should be fine."

"You stay here and take care of it, Xiuqin. Come with me out of the city and discuss a solution with the other people."

"Row!"

Zhu Xiuqin was also one of the rare lucky ones. Upon hearing the sound, she slapped her butt and stood up, following Sun Wan out of the city.

Seeing this, Su Chongsong and Lu Zhenxin, who were waiting outside the door, immediately nodded and went their separate ways, letting Su Chongsong go with Sun Wan.

The three of them rushed out of the city, but when they turned out of the alley, the scene before them was like hell on earth.

Yesterday, it was just a deserted street, but overnight, it turned into a world of patients crying, coughing and shouting in pain.

There were also several puddles of foul-smelling liquid scattered on the street.

Sun Wan and Zhu Xiuqin hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and tiptoed out of the city in fear.

The plague really broke out.

They read fear in each other's eyes and couldn't help but quicken their pace.
