Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Zhao Qiaoniang and Mulan pushed the wheelbarrow slowly forward, while Lin Wanwan admired the surrounding scenery.

Lin Zaozao on the flatbed truck kept crying loudly for some unknown reason.

Sun Mei kept coaxing him: "Be good, Fubao! Don't cry, don't cry. Are you hungry? Mommy will feed you..."

Unfortunately, she continued to cry. Old Mrs. Lin took the child and gently coaxed her, saying, "Why is this child crying all the time today? Is there something wrong?"

She touched Lin Zaozao's head and said, "Oh! Why is your head so hot? You have a fever!"

Sun Mei asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

"We must go to town to find a doctor," said Old Mrs. Lin.

Sun Mei thought for a moment and said, "How about we take the child to Madam Bai to have a look? She was the one who took a liking to the child last time."

Old Lady Lin nodded, holding the child in her arms, and walked over to Madam Bai, saying, "Hey! The child has a fever. You should take a look at her now, quickly..."

Mrs. Bai looked puzzled: "Your child has a fever, what does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you a member of the village? It's your blessing that we let you treat the child. You should treat her as soon as possible." Old Mrs. Lin looked down on Mrs. Bai from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Bai wore beautiful clothes every day and was either watering flowers and plants, embroidering, or playing with cats and dogs.

And she! She had to take care of all kinds of trivial household chores, her rough hands, and simple clothes formed a sharp contrast with Mrs. Bai's exquisiteness.

This contrast made her feel more and more uncomfortable, and jealousy kept churning in her heart. Every time she saw Mrs. Bai's elegant posture, her jealousy deepened.

She longed to live such a life one day, to be like Mrs. Bai, wearing beautiful clothes and not having to worry about the trivialities of life.

When the famine came, she looked down on Mrs. Bai even more. She used to like playing with cats and dogs, but now she had to work hard to make a living.

Madam Bai glanced at her calmly and said, "I can treat you, but you have to pay, right? One hundred coins for each visit."

Old Lady Lin laughed in anger: "That damn old woman is obsessed with money, right? She keeps asking for 100 coins. Do you know how much food 100 coins can buy?"

Even in a year of disaster, 100 wen can buy several kilograms of coarse grains.

Madam Bai sneered and said, "This Lin Zaozao is a lucky star. Can a lucky star's price be the same as that of an ordinary person? Isn't she worth 100 coins?"

Old Mrs. Lin wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Sun Mei. Sun Mei took out 100 Wen from her bag with a fake smile and said, "Take the money, but you have to treat our family well. If you can't, I will come to you."

Madam Bai touched Lin Zaozao's forehead and said, "Oh! It can definitely be cured. Don't insist on saying it wasn't cured when it's cured."

Mrs. Bai held a silver needle in her hand, her face stern, and she concentrated on giving acupuncture to the child.

The slender silver needle fell steadily in her hand, and every time it pierced the child's skin, Sun Mei, who was standing by, was frightened.

Sun Mei couldn't help but yell:

"Hey, could you be a little gentler?

"A child is so delicate, can he be pricked with such a long needle?"

Old Mrs. Lin also glared at the side and loudly accused: "Did you do this on purpose, taking this opportunity to stab our child?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Bai raised her head calmly, looked at them with cold eyes and said:

"Treat it if you want, otherwise get out!

If you think I can't cure you well, then take your child and leave now, and I'll return the 100 coins to you."

Sun Mei and Old Lady Lin looked at each other, and were intimidated by Mrs. Bai's aura and dared not speak anymore.

Mrs. Bai continued to perform the acupuncture with great concentration. After a moment, she put away the needles and took out a few small pills from her pocket. She said, "Take two pills each time. Dissolve them in warm water and give them to the child."

Cui Ya snorted coldly and said, "When you have something to ask for help, you still know how to ask for help. This family is really annoying."

Mrs. Bai stuffed 100 coins directly into Zhao Qiaoniang's pocket and said, "Qiaoniang, keep this."

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly waved her hand and said, "You should keep the money yourself, okay?"

"We are all one family, and you are now the head of our family. Okay, take it quickly!" Mrs. Bai stuffed the copper coin directly into Zhao Qiaoniang's arms.

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Then I'll keep it for now."

Mrs. Bai touched Lin Wanwan and suddenly laughed: "Oh! Why is Lin Zaozao so dark? He looks like a black pimple."

Zhao Qiaoniang said calmly, "This Lin Zaozao looks quite similar to Butler Sun's daughter. Butler Sun is also quite dark."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Sun Mei is really brave. If people find out, how embarrassing would it be?" Mrs. Bai couldn't figure it out either.

They pushed the wheelbarrow with difficulty and moved slowly forward on the rugged mountain road.

The road under my feet was narrow and winding, with dust flying wildly in the dry air. With every step I took, a thin layer of yellow mist rose, blurring my vision and making my throat tight.

The ancient road surface was full of potholes, and the wheels of the wheelbarrow would often sink into the potholes, forcing people to lift and push it out with great effort, and each step required great effort.

On both sides of the road, wild grass grew in profusion, and the withered yellow weeds shivered in the wind. Winter was approaching.

Madam Bai put a piece of clothing on Lin Wanwan and said, "You guys should put on more clothes too. It's too cold today. I'm afraid the temperature will drop."

Master Bai sighed and said:

"The weather is getting colder and colder. When winter comes, life will be even more difficult. Winter is really cold.

Moreover, the road we are taking will probably pass through Yunze County. I heard that Yunze County is surrounded by vast forests and the people here make a living by hunting.

Yunze County also has another famous name - the hometown of medicinal materials.

Countless precious medicinal herbs grow in the forests here, such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, which can be seen everywhere.

These medicinal herbs are of high quality and have attracted many foreign merchants to come and trade.”

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "I've wanted to come and see it before. Let's go to the town and take a look."

This is a relatively large town, but as soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw countless refugees rushing out with their families.

"This...what's wrong with you?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Just run away! I heard someone in this city has the plague."

"What?" Madam Bai said quickly, "Everyone, leave quickly and don't go into the city. If someone really gets the plague, it will be terrible."

Mrs. Bai's face changed. Plagues in ancient times were still very scary, and city lockdowns were the most common.

Even in modern times, plague is very scary, let alone in ancient times when medical conditions were common.

Generally, it is fine if the plague can be controlled. If it cannot be controlled, they will block the epidemic area and prohibit people from entering and leaving at will to prevent the spread of the plague.

When the plague becomes too severe to be controlled, village or city massacres may occur.
