The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

When he spoke the last part, Tian Yongnian's voice trembled a little.

Zhenniang listened to his words, but her steps slowly stopped.

She thought of her younger brother who died on the way to escape famine.

Her younger brother was also five years old. When he died, he was as thin as a three-year-old big-headed baby.

Thinking of her brother, Zhenniang could no longer move.

All that flashed before her eyes was the image of her brother calling her "Sister" before he died.

Zhenniang closed her eyes, her mind in turmoil.

After a while, she whispered to Widow Meng:

"Sister Meng, I want to give my share of herbs to Manager Tian."

Widow Meng recalled the time when Zhenniang went to buy raw materials and mentioned that the manager of the raw material factory took good care of her.

Now, I know what she is struggling with.

After all, Widow Meng is not a hard-hearted person.

She looked at Xiao Sanbao, who was lying on the mosquito net in the room and smiling at her, and said softly:

"Zhenniang, just give it if you want.

If something happens later, with so many of us, we can always find some medicine for you."

When Zhenniang heard her say this, she smiled at her gratefully.

Sister Meng was willing to support her, which gave her some peace of mind.

Zhenniang returned to the house where everyone was hiding and told Manager Tian that she wanted to give her share of the medicinal herbs to him.

This medicinal material was given by Sister Daya to everyone in the factory. Even if she wanted to give it to others, she had to get the consent of others.

Zhenniang thought that someone would speak out to stop her.

But unexpectedly, everyone hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

To everyone in the textile factory, Zhenniang has always been their leader.

It was she who led them to this day.

As for this decision, they all believed in her.

Zhenniang bowed deeply to everyone before going into the house to get her own portion of medicinal herbs.

When she reached the gate, Manager Tian was still crying and begging.

Zhenniang said softly:

"Manager Tian, ​​it's me, Zhenniang.

Speak softly, don't attract others.

I have one dose of fever-reducing medicine left. I'll put it down along the wall for you.

You take the medicine, go home quickly and give it to your child."

Manager Tian didn't expect that he could actually borrow the medicine. He went to five or six houses this morning.

None of the people he knew or had a good relationship with before were willing to pay attention to him.

He came to Zhenniang just to give it a last try.

Unexpectedly, Zhenniang was actually willing to lend it to him.

Immediately, Manager Tian thanked him repeatedly.

Zhenniang slowly climbed the ladder to the top of the wall and looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly threw the medicine down.

Manager Tian quickly went over, picked up the medicine and hid it in his arms.

He thanked Zhenniang repeatedly, but Zhenniang just waved her hand and told him to go home quickly.

She looked at Manager Tian's back and secretly prayed that his child could survive.

I hope this child can survive with her brother.

Only after Manager Tian walked away did Zhenniang slowly descend the ladder.

Prince Huai's Palace.

King Huai frowned more and more as he listened to Liu Jiaqi's report outside the screen.

Now, all the counties and cities under his rule have fallen.

According to reports from various county governments, the daily death toll is an alarming figure.

Almost every time he heard it, he would have a headache for a while.

At this moment, after hearing the death toll, he pinched his brows, interrupted Liu Jiaqi's report, and shouted outside:

"Butler Feng, go to the epidemic area in the backyard and see how the progress is with Dr. Zhang!"

Steward Feng heard the anxiety in King Huai's words, responded loudly, and hurried to the backyard.

These days, he has to run to the backyard several times almost every day.

There's no way around it. Anyone who hears the death toll will get a headache.

This is not just a number, but real human lives!

You know, these days, if you want to move forward, it all depends on people.

Without people, nothing can be done.

Why did King Huai prefer to be feared by the imperial court and recruit immigrants?

That's because of this!

However, an epidemic broke out at this time, and too many people under his jurisdiction were killed or injured.

When Manager Feng hurried to the backyard, Xia Yi was still blocking the door.

Xia Yi looked at the breathless Feng Zongguan and said helplessly:

"Manager Feng, Master is still researching the prescription for the epidemic, and there really haven't been any new breakthroughs.

Don't worry, as long as there is any progress, I will report to you immediately!"

Manager Feng had had enough of these two perfunctory words and looked inside.

His Highness has been so worried that he can't sleep these past two days. He has to ask Doctor Zhang about it.

Even if there is a new word that can make His Highness feel more comfortable, that would be great!

He moved his body and tried to take a few steps forward to see what was going on inside through the crack in the door.

Xia Yi saw what General Manager Feng was planning and stepped forward without giving in.

His tall figure blocked Manager Feng's sight.

Manager Feng tried to say a few soft words to let him see what was going on inside.

But Xiayi refused to give in at all.

Some even felt that Manager Feng had been outside the door for too long and began to urge him to leave.

Afterwards, no matter what Manager Feng said, he did not respond and only said one sentence.

"Master orders that no one should approach this gate."

Manager Feng has been the chief manager for so many years, and he rarely encounters someone who is so disrespectful.

But Xia Yi was a stubborn man who only obeyed his master's orders and would not listen to any other persuasion.

If the man in front of him was from the palace, he would give him a good beating no matter what.

But this guy is the disciple of that stubborn old doctor Zhang.

No matter what, he didn't want to confront that stubborn donkey.

Manager Feng looked at the sky and felt that he had been entangled with this stubborn guy for too long.

He was afraid that the prince would get impatient, so he glared at Xia Yi and turned back.

But after taking a few steps, I heard someone running out in a hurry from behind.

"We've found a cure for the epidemic! Quick, go and tell the prince!"

When Manager Feng heard this, he turned around quickly with agility that was not in line with his age and caught the man who ran out.

While dragging the people towards the prince's yard, he asked about the situation in detail.

When I heard that a patient had really been cured, I didn't even feel out of breath when running.

The man was dragged by Chief Steward Feng and ran into King Huai's courtyard.

After a short pause, he was dragged into the house to report to King Huai.

When King Huai heard that the prescription had been developed, he jumped off the couch.

“Developed it?

Good, good, good, great!

Hurry, get the protective suit immediately. I want to go to the backyard and take a look myself!"

When Manager Feng heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Highness, you can't do that!

The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall.

Let our family take a look at this matter."
