Farming and reading family

She didn't let Chen Hanyue tell Chen Jie and the others about this before, actually because she wanted to delay time.

If they had said this at the time and Zheng Wang had seen through the clues, he would definitely have picked himself up and continued to threaten them.

"Doctor Sun is Zheng Wang's lifeline now. How could he let go?" Chen Jie thought it was impossible.

"Of course he doesn't want to let go, but he is sick and doesn't have much strength. Especially when the cold wind blows, his body will be even weaker." Gao E analyzed.

"Yes." Chen Jie said and was about to leave.

"Don't come back right away. I'll have someone bring you food later." Gao E reminded.

"Okay." Chen Jie now only wanted to deal with Zheng Wang.

After watching Chen Jie leave, he looked at Zheng Fengan and said, "Uncle Zheng, you must separate the old and weak from the young and strong. Don't go to the fields to work unless it's urgent these two days. Make sure no one in the village is infected."

Zheng Fengan nodded: "If this is really an epidemic, I don't know what the situation outside is like."

Gao E nodded and said, "Tell the villagers not to drink unboiled water. Give them some honey water for the next two days."

After discussing these, Zheng Fengan also went down to make arrangements. No matter what, they must not allow an epidemic to occur in their village.

Not long after Chen Jie went over, Zheng Wang collapsed. Chen Jie took two people over to grab Doctor Sun and kicked Zheng Wang twice.

Afterwards, he left two people there to keep an eye on those people, and he took Doctor Sun to find a place to stay and quickly started a fire.

Gao E quickly had food delivered and brought a pot of hot water, and told them not to run around.

The villagers were in a panic that day and hated Zheng Wang and his group.

After dark, Chen Qing brought bedding to Chen Jie and the others. Doctor Sun also woke up and seemed to be in good condition, with no symptoms of typhoid fever.

Fortunately, the wind died down, otherwise spending the night outside could be fatal.

Gao E felt a little relieved after hearing what her elder brother said about Chen Jie and the situation in the village. Typhoid fever cannot be transmitted through contact, but one should still be cautious.

For her, catching a cold is no big deal, as everyone catches a cold once in a while.

But for people today, it can be fatal.

As for Zheng Wang and his group, Zheng Fengan had already arranged people to guard them and would not let them enter the village.

"We really don't care about the life or death of those people?" Chen Qing asked Gao E uncertainly.

"Except Zheng Wang, everyone else has only one way." Gao E said calmly.

"What?" Chen Qing felt that this road was not a good one.

"Donate all their land to our family and sell themselves into slavery voluntarily." Gao E needed manpower, but she had not found anyone to work in the brick kiln.

But she couldn't let these people be free again and do whatever they wanted.

As for Zheng Wang, Gao E didn't want him to be a slave even if he was willing.

Chen Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Should I talk to Uncle Zheng about this?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Gao E was not in a hurry.

She could give those people a way out, but it wasn't necessary for her to do so.

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "If they are really infected with typhoid fever, I'm afraid they can't be saved."

"Then it depends on their fate." Gao E did not explain.

Chen Qing didn't know what to say after hearing what his second brother's wife said.

Gao E was sleeping soundly at night when she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. Before she could react, Yang had already gotten up and opened the door.

Chen Qing and Zheng Yicheng were standing outside, with Chang Zhinan standing behind them with an anxious look on his face.

"What's going on?" Yang became nervous when she saw the police officers.

"Hurry up and wake up your second brother's wife. The official is here to borrow something from our house." Chen Qing said anxiously.

Gao E had already gotten up. She didn't know what she had to borrow from home. "What?"

Chang Zhinan clasped his fists in the back and said, "I heard that Madam Chen has bought up all the Rhodiola rosea in He County. Could you please sell some to me?"

Gao E heard something unusual in Chang Zhinan's voice: "Are you infected with typhoid fever?"

Hearing Gao E ask this, Chen Qing and Zheng Yicheng became alert.

"I'm not in the way. My master is waiting to use Rhodiola rosea as medicine." Chang Zhinan never thought that one day he would ask a country woman for help.

Gao E hadn't expected He Tangchun to be infected with typhoid fever. "I have a prepared medicine here. While it can't be said to cure the disease, it's just right for your master's condition."

Chang Zhinan wondered how this village woman could possibly know medicine: "My master has already hired the best doctor in the city, but he's just missing this one medicine."

Gao E heard the other party refuse but did not force it: "Then wait a moment."

As she spoke, she opened the prepared medicine and took out the Rhodiola rosea. After hesitating for a moment, she took out three more packets of prepared medicine: "Take these Rhodiola rosea. These three prescriptions are prepared. Ask the doctor to see if they are feasible."

Chang Zhinan couldn't refuse the request now, so he handed over a silver ingot, took the medicine, clasped his fists, turned around and left. Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.

"We won't be infected, right?" Zheng Yicheng was a little nervous.

"Don't be so nervous. You're in an open area and haven't been in contact for long." Gao E reassured her, "If you're really worried, just stay overnight at Chen Jie's place."

"Then I'll go too." Chen Qing was worried about passing it on to the children at home.

After Chen Qing and Zheng Yicheng left, Yang and the others lost their sleepiness.

They originally thought that as long as they stayed in their village and had food and drink, they would be fine, but it turned out that someone would come to their village.

"If sister-in-law really can't sleep, just make a few masks." Gao E suggested.

"Mask?" Yang had never heard of it.

The mask is also simple to make, just two straps on the cloth. Yang understood it as soon as she heard it, and immediately found a needle and thread to start making it.

There was a lot of linen at home, and it was rather sparse, so I folded it into three layers.

When Gao E woke up in the morning, she saw that her sister-in-law had already put together more than a dozen masks, which were made very carefully.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you sleep all night?" Gao E was worried.

"I can't sleep." Yang said worriedly, "Your eldest brother and third brother are both in contact with patients, and they don't know..."

Gao E didn't plan to give them medicine in advance. There was no point in taking medicine if they were not sick.

"Don't worry too much, sister-in-law. My eldest brother and third brother are in good health. Even if they are infected, they will be able to get through it as long as they eat and drink well and take good care of themselves." Gao E assured.

"Really?" Yang looked at Gao E uncertainly.

"Besides, we have medicine at home." Gao E confirmed.

Yang was slightly relieved. "You said it was a very difficult time to get through the winter, and when things were getting better, the epidemic came again, and there was no peace for a single day."

"We can survive the winter, and the epidemic is nothing." Gao E comforted.

When delivering food to the villagers today, I added some Polygonatum odoratum, which is very helpful in improving immunity at this time.

When Zheng Fengan went to see his son, Chen Qing told Zheng Fengan about the Chen family's decision.

"Those people are so sick, can they be cured?" Zheng Fengan was ready to dig a hole for those people.

I heard that people who died of the plague had to be cremated, otherwise they would infect others.

"I don't know either." Chen Qing felt that it was impossible to cure it. "Uncle Zheng, just ask them if they are willing."
