I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

Pei Yi spoke again: "If you can't finish it, take it back to your family."

Many generals' families accompanied them to the army.

They ate worse at home than the officers in the military camp.

Now, no one can refuse.

A group of tall, burly men, their eyes red with tears, said, "Thank you, General."

The rest of the food was moved to the kitchen.

There was very little rice and water.

We could only let those who were starving eat a little first, and the rest of us could each have a bite or two.

After the grain was moved away, everyone gathered around to look at the three bicycles.

"You've come all this way riding these things called bicycles?"

"With this, we won't need horses anymore."

"Can this thing still be ridden? Can I try it out?"

One of the three bicycles had a flat tire, and none of them knew how to fix it.

The remaining two vehicles were more worn, but their tires were still barely usable.

The guards, however, dared not let them try.

"These are gifts from the gods to the general's wife. If she rides them again, they'll break."

"Yes, we can't touch these two bicycles anymore, otherwise we won't be able to return them to the General's wife."

They were heartbroken when they broke that bike while rushing on their way, but they had no choice but to leave because they needed to keep going.

"Once we've rested, we'll carry these three bicycles back to the General's wife."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had reached out to the bicycle out of curiosity immediately withdrew their hands.

Someone tore a piece of cloth from their clothes: "The bicycle is dirty, let me wipe it. I promise I will wipe it very carefully."

"I'll clean the other one; I have to make sure it's spotless before I return it to the General's wife."

"I'll clean the remaining one."

Originally, the three people were divided among three vehicles, but the remaining soldiers were not satisfied and also wanted to do something for the general's wife and the deity.

So they tore off their clothes and used them to wipe the car seats, wheels, and pedals that others hadn't yet cleaned.

They even cleaned up every speck of dirt from the tire crevices.

The imperial physicians visited several sick households, examined them, and then left.

"Their fevers have subsided, so they should be fine."

"That's good. In that case, let's go back first."

Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems those people really did just catch a cold; after taking the right medicine, they recovered.

The group stood in the middle of the alley and walked towards the alley entrance.

Halfway there, a few coughs were heard.

Ordinary people might cough if they choke while drinking water too quickly, or if they choke while swallowing saliva, or if they suddenly feel an itch in their throat.

There were only a few sounds, so no one paid much attention.

But those few coughs seemed to be a signal, and after they started, there was a series of coughs.

Yu Wanwan and the others stopped in their tracks.

The imperial physicians frowned.

"What's going on? I checked on everyone the other day, and they were all in good health. Why are so many people suddenly coughing?"

Several imperial physicians, acting on the emperor's orders, fully cooperated with Yu Wanwan to eliminate the plague.

Now that they've discovered something amiss, the group is even more anxious than Yu Wanwan.

"Madam, please leave the alley and wait outside. I and the other imperial physicians will go in and examine them again."

Yu Wanwan hummed in agreement.

She's not a doctor, so if she suddenly sees so many people coughing, she should definitely stay as far away from them as possible.

She went outside into the alley.

Once you leave the yard, there's nowhere to block the wind, and a gust of wind blows by.

A gust of dust blew up, making her squint.

After a while, the wind stopped, and the sand and dust dispersed somewhat.

She touched the bracelet on her wrist.

[Ding-dong, countdown to traveling to the modern era: 45:23:08]

We have nearly 46 hours left before we can return to the modern world to restock.

Hopefully nothing else goes wrong during this time.

"cough cough"

Even standing outside the alley, you can still hear the coughing coming from inside.

Yu Wanwan frowned.

Why does this feel so ominous?

An hour later.

The five imperial physicians finally emerged.

As they approached Yu Wanwan, they took two steps back.

They were all wearing the masks that Yu Wanwan had given them.

Only the upper half of his face was visible.

The faces of several people didn't look very good.

"what happened?"

Yu Wanwan spoke first, asking them questions.

“We’ve examined them all, and apart from coughing, these people have no other abnormalities, no fever or dizziness.”

"Even the coughs mostly started recently, and they look like ordinary coughs, but there are too many people who have contracted the cough at the same time."

"I have discussed with the other imperial physicians that we will stay in the alley for the next few days to make it easier to observe the situation."

"They will also send someone to report back to His Majesty, asking him to send soldiers to guard the alley entrance and prevent anyone from entering or leaving the alley."

"Madam, please don't come to the alley anymore recently."

The symptoms of the people in the alley do not currently look like an epidemic; for the time being, they have no other symptoms besides coughing, but it is quite contagious.

The imperial physicians dared not take it lightly.

Moreover, even a simple cough could be fatal for them now.

Because they have no medicine.

Even the royal palace didn't have any medicine to cure the cough.

"Okay, if you have any news or anything you're missing, just send someone to tell me. Even if I can't get it back in the next two days, I'll try my best to get it back for you in two days."

Please write down any other medicinal herbs you need and I'll try my best to find them for you.

Yu Wanwan silently added in her mind, "But I can't guarantee the efficacy of the medicine."

Most modern Chinese medicines are artificially propagated, requiring advanced technology and arduous work, but they certainly cannot compare to the purely natural Chinese medicinal materials of ancient times.

She prepared some traditional Chinese medicine for them, thinking that something was better than nothing.

If you really want to cure the disease in a short time, you should prepare more Western medicine and modern Chinese patent medicine.

Yu Wanwan gave all the remaining homemade masks she had on her to the imperial physicians.

They even left over the disposable gloves from buying KFC for the imperial physicians.

The highly contagious cough made her subconsciously think of the unprecedented pandemic that has occurred in recent decades.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Yu Wanwan asked the servants to boil a pot of water for her. She washed herself thoroughly before going to see the children.

Several children were still gathered around the tablet, watching it.

The tablet is plugged into a power bank.

She observed the expressions on their faces:

Have you been feeling unwell these past few days?

The children followed them into the alley that day.

Yu Wanwan felt a little regretful.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard them all say in high spirits that they felt no discomfort.

"Alright, give the tablet to Grandma, you all go out for a walk and get some exercise."

"From now on, when using a tablet, you should take a 15-minute break at least every half hour. You can't keep looking at it non-stop and ruin your eyes."

The fourth brother reluctantly handed the tablet to Yu Wanwan.

Yu Wanwan took the tablet and paused for a moment.

Hmm? Another one that rewards 10 points, could it be a prince?
