I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a
Chapter 54 Critical Situation, Time Travel Countdown: 00:00:00
How old is your maternal grandfather?
"What kind of person is he? Is he easy to get along with?"
Do you usually like to lecture people?
Since she's already considering bringing someone back to be the children's tutor, she definitely needs to know more about them.
Especially the last point.
In her modern days, what she feared most was their grade's dean of students, who loved to lecture the students.
Even when we bumped into each other on the street during holidays, he would drag me into the KFC archway to listen to his long-winded lecture.
Because he talked too much, she couldn't enjoy the KFC or McDonald's meal she finally managed to snag.
Upon hearing that her second son's maternal grandfather was fifty-six years old, a kind man, and not a talkative one, Yu Wanwan felt relieved.
This child can be kept.
"Where are you all? Where is your maternal grandparents' home? If it's not too far, after we go to the second brother's maternal grandparents' home tomorrow, Grandma will take you all there as well."
After she finished speaking, she first looked at the eldest brother.
The boss's face remained expressionless, but his tone turned cold.
He said, "I have no maternal grandparents; all my relatives are in the General's Mansion."
The tone and manner of those words clearly indicate a lie.
Yu Wanwan said she doesn't even believe punctuation marks.
However, since the eldest son was unwilling to mention his maternal grandparents' family, she did not force him.
The third brother recalled: "My third uncle came to visit me last year. I only know that my third uncle lives far away, and I don't know much else."
The fourth brother said, "My maternal grandparents live in Jiangnan. They are the richest family in Jiangnan. They have a lot of grain. Moreover, Brother Zhou Nan said that Jiangnan is a water town. Even after the drought started, the water there did not dry up so quickly."
But they haven't come to see me in the past two years.
I don't think they miss me either. They don't miss me, and I don't miss them. Even if they all died, I wouldn't be sad.
The richest man in Jiangnan? Then his family certainly has a lot of grain.
Moreover, there are lakes everywhere there, so it shouldn't be that short of water.
But they still ignored the fourth brother, which was understandable since he didn't care about their lives.
The fifth and sixth children are still too young and know very little about their maternal grandparents' family.
Yu Wanwan was thinking that she should ask the housekeeper later to help her husband take care of his in-laws.
Butler Zhou rushed in.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! Someone has died from illness!"
"Someone died?"
Yu Wanwan was so startled that she stood up abruptly.
"Yes, Zhou Nan heard about it when he went out to deliver grain. The deceased was the old lady of the Guanglu Temple Vice Minister's residence. I heard that she only started to have a fever in the morning, but by evening she had difficulty breathing."
They immediately summoned the imperial physician, who administered acupuncture. She seemed better while the needles were in, but shortly after the needles were removed, she began vomiting blood and died.
He had a fever in the morning and died vomiting blood that evening?
The symptoms developed too quickly.
Yu Wanwan was somewhat worried.
Will she be able to find the right medicine to treat her symptoms after she returns to the modern world?
At this rate of disease progression, it's almost catching up with Ebola, isn't it?
With both drought and this domineering virus, Yu Wanwan even began to wonder if God really wanted to wipe out the people of this land.
Were there any other deaths?
Butler Zhou shook his head.
"There shouldn't be any more. Zhou Nan led his men through most of the capital, and so far, we've only heard of this one death."
"How old is the old lady?"
"Sixty-eight years old."
Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
Only one died.
He is a 68-year-old man.
This doesn't necessarily mean they died from the plague; they might have had other illnesses that were triggered by the plague.
Has the imperial physician sent anyone else?
"No, right now the imperial physicians and doctors from various clinics in the capital are busy going out to see patients. The imperial physicians will probably be busy for the time being."
"Okay, remember to let me know if there's any further news."
Just in case this was indeed a symptom of the plague, Yu Wanwan still recorded the symptoms the deceased had before his death.
I plan to go back and ask the doctor how to treat this type of plague and get some medicine.
Before going to sleep, Yu Wanwan touched the bracelet.
View system details.
[System Level: LV21, Remaining Points: 2298, Points Required for Next Upgrade: 7300]
[Space size: 30*30*30 cubic meters]
[Time spent in the modern era: 2 days]
When upgrading in the morning, Yu Wanwan chose to add one day to her time in the modern world when selecting upgrade rewards.
The current time displayed is two days in the modern era.
In addition, the last time I went back, I stayed for a day.
It seems that the starting point of our modern era is a day.
After I finish collecting the points tomorrow morning, I'll add another day, so I'll have three days when I go back tomorrow.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. I don't know if three days will be enough.
And those trolls, I hope they don't interfere with her work.
The next day, after having breakfast, Yu Wanwan upgraded her equipment.
Today's earnings: 8500 points. Level up from LV21 to LV23. Remaining points: 3498.
The upgrade reward option is to stay in the modern era for one more day.
She looked at the letters in front of her again.
[Ding-dong, countdown to traveling to the modern era: 01:24:23]
There's still almost an hour and a half left.
Yu Wanwan looked up at Steward Zhou, who was waiting to the side: "Steward Zhou, have the imperial physicians sent anyone over?"
"Replying to the old lady."
Physician Zhang sent someone over at dawn, describing some of the patient's symptoms. This old servant has had them written down; please review them.
It's the same as the last list of medicinal herbs.
The people sent by Physician Zhang did not give them the prescription directly, but instead dictated it from a distance, allowing the servants of the General's Mansion to take notes.
Yu Wanwan took the paper with their notes.
There are several sheets, each one filled with writing.
Yu Wanwan glanced at a few of them.
Most patients present with fever, cough, dizziness, and vomiting, with a few also experiencing diarrhea and palpitations.
She focused on the words "vomiting blood" and "death".
Thankfully, none of them were there.
She stuffed all the papers into the space.
He asked Steward Zhou a few more questions about Zhou Nan's situation and learned that although most people in the capital had coughs and fevers last night, no one had died from the illness.
She felt a little relieved.
"I'll go to the warehouse first. If you need anything else, come find me there."
Yu Wanwan went to the warehouse and took out the remaining dozens of kilograms of meat from the storage space.
They then selected three boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings from the storeroom. One box was a gift from the Emperor, another from the Empress, and the third was a gift from other noble families in the capital.
Looking at these things, Yu Wanwan was not very satisfied.
These things are all extremely valuable.
It wouldn't be so good if she only brought out valuable things.
She thought for a moment, then opened the door and asked the guards waiting outside to go to the kitchen and bring her a dozen or so bowls.
