"Okay, then I'm leaving. I'll make up some medicine and deliver it to Aunt You's carriage later. You should also pay more attention to yourselves. If something goes wrong, just go to Dr. Liu and have a look. After all, you are not alone. There are four kids here.”
"got it!"
Not long after Li Yuan walked back with the jar in her arms, she was stopped by the oncoming Youshi.
"Mother Yuan, I heard that you also made some cold-repelling decoction. I wonder if there is any extra?"
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat when she saw her holding her stomach with a disheveled look on her face.
"Aunt You, what are you doing?"
You Shi endured the discomfort and replied: "I don't know if it was infected by those people who were looking for the cold. I woke up early in the morning and felt cold all over. Even drinking hot water didn't do anything. I had no choice but to drink it. I took some anti-cold medicine, but it still didn’t seem to be very effective. After drinking it, I started to have a fever not long after, accompanied by body aches and diarrhea.”
Li Yuan doesn't know medical skills, but she always remembers the plague Wang Can talked about.
She once asked the Su family's doctor in Fucheng what the symptoms of the plague were.
As a result, we found out that he initially felt aversion to cold, then developed fever, followed by head and body pain, chest pain, vomiting, etc.
Listening to Aunt You's words now, why do you feel so much like the symptoms of the early stage of the plague?
But that shouldn't be the case. The people in Lijia'ao boil the water they use to eat and drink, and they also bring their own food.
Even wild vegetables are cooked before eating.
Along the way, they had not had much contact with outsiders.
In addition to Zhang Cong's more than thirty people, there are only the five children in Dankou Village and those who are currently following them.
Thinking of those people, Li Yuan had a rough guess in her mind.
Perhaps, it is really possible that it is those people, but the specific source has yet to be verified.
As these thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind, she heard her say: "Aunt You, are you like this, or are everyone in the same carriage like this? I have run out of the decoctions to dispel the cold. But If you want it, I'll go back and make it for you. I don't think it's okay for you to come to me directly to ask for the soup and medicine. It's best to go to Dr. Liu and have a look."
Youshi hurriedly replied: "Everyone in my carriage is feeling unwell today."
When Li Yuan heard this, she was afraid that if it was really a plague, it would be easy to infect people if she walked like Aunt You, so she added: "Auntie, do you think this will work? If you don't feel well, go back to the carriage first and don't run around. As for We'll make the soup and medicine. If you feel uncomfortable, just lie down first. Uncle Hua and I will discuss whether we can delay here for a while, and then we can set off again when you feel better."
"Okay, Yuanniang, thank you, auntie. Then auntie is going back. The dirt road is slippery, so walk slower."
"Okay, aunt, please walk slower!"
Li Yuan waited until Aunt You had gone far, then she quickly ran back with the jar in her arms.
At that time, Wang Can had already made pancakes. When he saw her, he was pulled into the carriage by her just as he was about to speak.
"Can Niang, the situation is not good. Aunt You and the others are sick. I heard that the symptoms are very similar to the plague that the Su family's doctor said. In this case, you first make medicine with Lingquan water, and I will go find Dr. Liu."
If you ask Wang Can what he was most afraid of when he was fleeing the famine, it would undoubtedly be the plague.
At this moment, when she heard Li Yuan's words, she grabbed him with her backhand, shook her head at her, and whispered: "Sister, don't go to Dr. Liu. We have a monetary relationship with him. If he knew it was a plague, he wouldn't say no." It’s easy to make a fuss and leave.”
Li Yuan also thought this out of sheer impatience. When she heard Wang Can's words, she suddenly shivered. After she came to her senses, she said continuously: "Yes, Can Niang, you are right. What everyone is most afraid of is the plague. If Spread the word, that's a big deal. We have spiritual spring water, so we're not afraid of anything."
As she said that, she took a deep breath and took out the "cold-repellent medicine" that she had boiled in three jars from the space.
Later, the spiritual spring water that had been saved in the past was also released.
Finally, I symbolically took out some anti-cold medicine packs.
"Can Niang, let's try to make the 'Cold-Repelling Medicine Soup' a small bowl for each person. I don't know who the source is, so we must make it include those who are following. You can cook it now, and I'll go find Uncle Hua. "
Wang Can was also afraid that if it was really a plague, he would cooperate unconditionally.
"Okay, sister, go ahead and I'll make the soup and medicine right now. But we don't have many pots and jars. I can't get through so much medicine by myself. You ask the second sister and the third sister to come over and help."
"good!"
Li Yuan said, thought about it, and when she left, she hugged a jar of "cold-repelling medicine" that she had prepared in advance.
She was going to say that Wang Can had woken up early in the morning and asked Li Qinghua and other people who were older and less healthy to drink a bowl first.
No matter what, if you take precautions first, you won’t go wrong!

Li Qinghua was about to give orders and when he set off half an hour later, Li Yuan came.
Seeing her holding a large jar of things in her hand, she asked, "Why is Yuan Niang here? What is she holding in her hand?"
Li Yuan looked around and saw that apart from several foreigners from the Li family, there was only one Li Ligui.
These are our own people, people we can completely trust.
She put down the jar in her hand and said straight to the point: "Uncle Hua, this is the 'cold-repelling decoction' specially prepared by the doctor at Renxintang when I was in Fucheng. I went to see my grandmother and them before, and I heard that last night, there was Several people have caught cold, I suspect it’s the plague.”
As soon as she said this, everyone present was shocked.
Li Ligui hurriedly walked aside to help guard the situation, and the expressions of Li Qinghua and others suddenly became very serious.
"Mother Yuan, don't say this nonsense. I know you said those people got cold. Doctor Liu said they caught cold. I think so. Those who got cold are all weak. This weather , the heavy rain has been falling, and everyone has to walk in cold water, which is really unbearable."
"Uncle Hua, what I said is not without reason. I was returning from my grandma's carriage and met Aunt You on the road. She asked me if I had any medicine to dispel the cold. I saw that she looked wrong, so I asked. She said Everyone in her carriage is feeling unwell today. I asked about the symptoms, and they were the same as when I was in Fucheng, and the symptoms of the plague that the doctor in the Su family told me were the same. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst, so we should always take precautions. It can’t be wrong.”
The people present looked at each other after hearing this. For the sake of safety, Li Qinghua asked: "Na Yuanniang, what do you mean?"
"I have some soup and medicine packets. After boiling the medicine, let everyone drink a small bowl. It can play a preventive and suppressive role. Uncle Hua, what I want to say is that I am not busy leaving today. After boiling the medicine, let everyone drink it first. Drink some and make a decision based on the situation. As for the source, I suspect it is the people who followed us. I thought about how it was infected for a long time and wondered if it might be from the toilet? Uncle Hua, please find someone to check. Let’s see if those people also use the toilets we dug?”
