Time Travel and Love

When Chu Qingmeng heard the familiar voice calling her "sister" again, she opened her eyes and saw Mo Liuyuan with a look of surprise. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Liuyuan also asked the same question, and Chu Qingmeng replied, "Lingxue is my friend."

Mo Liuyuan said unnaturally, "Lingxue is also my friend."

Seeing his red ears and unclear speech, Chu Qingmeng knew everything. So that's how it is.

"Do you know each other?" Mu Lingxue's face was full of questions.

"His twin brother is my old friend, and also my..." Chu Qingmeng paused and said, "boyfriend."

Mu Lingxue raised her eyebrows and went out to ask the eldest brother of the Mu family to prepare food for them.

The three of them were left in the room. Chu Qingmeng asked, "Mo Liuyuan, tell me about the specific symptoms of the plague."

Mo Liuyuan nodded, and the two chatted for a while. After the food was ready, Chu Qingmeng asked Feiying to prepare the carriage, and they immediately set off for Zhu County. Mo Liuyuan frowned and tried to stop Chu Qingmeng. What if she died in Zhu County? Chu Qingmeng just looked at him without saying a word, and finally Mo Liuyuan made way.

Before leaving, Chu Qingmeng, with Mo Liuyuan's help, bought a lot of medicinal herbs. After listening to their explanation, Chu Qingmeng felt that it was very likely cholera, so she brought a lot of cholera herbs. At the same time, she warned Mo Liuyuan about prevention methods and how to deal with the plague among refugees, and asked him to report to the court. Mo Liuyuan was puzzled. How could she know all this? Chu Qingmeng opened her thin lips and said, "I was lucky enough to have an old gentleman treat me. He kept me at home and helped him organize books and medicinal herbs. I don't know how to take a pulse, so I had to go and ask the imperial physician."

Along the way, they encountered refugees in droves. The closer they got to Zhu County, the more the refugees looked at them like wolves seeing meat. Chu Qingmeng hadn't smiled since leaving Li County. Seeing that the refugees were increasing in number, Chu Qingmeng stopped the team and shouted, "Everyone! Draw your swords! Anyone who approaches the vehicle, regardless of gender, age or status! Kill! Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed!"

Some brave ones wanted to rush forward and try to stop the convoy to steal the food. Chu Qingmeng took out a shotgun and shot them directly. The men lay on the ground bleeding all over, which scared away the refugees who wanted to rush forward.

Seeing this, everyone gripped their knives tightly and glared at the refugees on the roadside fiercely. After Feiying showed Mo Liuyuan's token, the group finally entered the county town safely. Chu Qingmeng sighed and ordered the team to go directly to the county government office.

When they arrived at the county government office, Mo Liujin was nowhere to be found. Chu Qingmeng asked someone to call the county magistrate for questioning, but the county magistrate misunderstood them and thought they wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob, so he hurriedly ordered the yamen runners to arrest everyone. The impatience on Chu Qingmeng's face became more and more serious. Feiying hurriedly stepped forward to explain that they came from Li County and were ordered by the county magistrate to support Zhu County. The county magistrate knew that the county magistrate of Li County and their county magistrate were twin brothers, so he lowered his guard.

"What's the situation now? Tell me." Chu Qingmeng sat on the steps of the county government lobby.

The county magistrate frowned. Where did this little girl come from? She was so arrogant. He snorted coldly and ignored her. Chu Qingmeng's patience was completely worn out. He stood up and pointed the gun at the county magistrate's head. "Hurry up and tell me, or I will send you to see the king of hell right now."

"Hmph! You think you can scare me with a stick?" The county magistrate snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Since ancient times, women have been forbidden to interfere in politics! Why should I..."

"Bang!" Chu Qingmeng smashed the stone ball under the stone lion's feet with a shot. "Do you think this thing can smash your head? Old man, I still want to talk to you because of the people in this city."

The county magistrate immediately began to tremble all over, his clothes soaked with sweat. He hurriedly talked about the current situation in Zhu County. After hearing what he said, Chu Qingmeng felt terrible. What the hell! How could it be so chaotic! !!! Seeing Chu Qingmeng's brows getting deeper and deeper, the county magistrate trembled. Chu Qingmeng asked again, "Where is Mo Liujin?"

"The county magistrate has been ill since the day before yesterday, and only I am trying to maintain order." The county magistrate answered while wiping the sweat off his face.

"Go, cook the imperial relief grain into thick porridge, and throw a couple of handfuls of sand in it!" Chu Qingmeng closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and said coldly, "From today on, the rules for distributing porridge have changed! Once a day! Each household is a unit, and the women in the family bring their daughters to collect the porridge! If a man comes to collect, he will be kicked out! If there are any troublemakers in the porridge stall, they will be killed! Send more people!"

"Why is that?" The county magistrate was puzzled. "Sprinkling sand into the porridge? Isn't that treating the disaster victims as if they were human beings? And why didn't he give the man any porridge?"

Chu Qingmeng gave him a cold look. What a fool! No wonder he was still only a county magistrate in his old age. But he still needed to do the things that came next, so he had to explain patiently, "Do you think the disaster victims are still human? Sprinkling sand in the porridge is to prevent those who are not hungry from taking up resources. Only those who are extremely hungry will not care about anything as long as they can eat it. As for letting women and children get the porridge, it's because once people start exchanging their children for cannibalism, then women and children who are powerless will definitely be the targets of strong men! County magistrate, don't want every county to become a dead city after the disaster, right?"
