Famine Years and Fleeing: After Reincarnating as a Farmhouse Mother-in-Law, I Became Amazing

Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...

Chapter 288 Protective Measures

Liang Shuyan noticed the embarrassment on the old lady's face and then said, "Mother, do you remember what the name of that medicinal herb is? Why don't I send someone to check the herbal medicine shop? Maybe they still have it."

Grandma Jin seemed to have thought of something, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Liang Shuyan: "Okay, this is the prescription that your mother wrote down back then. As long as we can find these few herbs, it will definitely work."

Liang Shuyan took the prescription, glanced at it, looked at Dashan, and said slowly, "Dashan, put on your mask and go to the herbal medicine shop now to find all these herbs. Remember, protect yourself and come back quickly!"

Jin Dashan nodded.

Zhao Heng said, "Auntie, I'll go with my brother Dashan!"

Jin Dashan shook his head: "No need, I'll be back soon on my own."

Zhao Heng clung to him like a leech, insisting on going. Liang Shuyan said with a stern face, "Alright, Zhao Heng, what time is it? Why won't you listen to me? You stay here properly and don't go anywhere. If you dare to step out of here, never come to my house again!"

Zhao Heng had not expected Liang Shuyan to react so strongly to this matter.

The noise from the village soon brought Li Zheng the news. He quickly got dressed and rushed to Liang Shuyan's house.

"Grandma Mountain, what happened?"

“Lizheng, the epidemic has now reached our Daling Village. These people have been infected, and the situation is critical. We can’t delay. I’m afraid there will be more and more cases in the future.”

Li Zheng then realized that the two craftsmen in the shop were also absent from work due to illness. Could it be a plague, or some other disease?

At this moment, Li Zheng was completely sober, and he immediately asked Liang Shuyan, "Given this, what do you think we should do?"

Liang Shuyan was also completely bewildered. As the villagers gradually carried the items to the tent, Li Zheng became even more anxious!

“Right now, we can’t build our shops. We need to send all the workers back home and isolate the villagers. Those who are infected will stay in tents for now and wait for treatment. The rest of the villagers will be quarantined at home and their movements will be monitored regularly.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng immediately said, "That's right. Send all the villagers who are working away from home until the plague is over. I'll instruct them to go back now and put up a sign at the village entrance to prevent outsiders from entering and spreading the infection."

The residents of Daling Village are not outsiders, so controlling the disease should not be too difficult. Preventing outsiders from entering the village should stop the spread of the disease.

Soon, Dashan returned in his horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, the pharmacy still had the medicinal herbs, so he bought some and brought them back.

"Mother, the medicinal herbs are back!"

Liang Shuyan instructed Jin Daya and Chunyan to prepare the medicinal soup, one small bowl for each of them.

Grandma Jin had previously participated in the COVID-19 relief efforts, so her prescription was likely appropriate. Liang Shuyan didn't ask any questions and simply ordered someone to administer it to the patient.

This disease is mainly characterized by high fever, so the fever must be reduced first before disinfection can be carried out. If it is treated as a common cold or fever, there will be no effective treatment.

When Dashan returned from town, Liang Shuyan instructed him to quarantine for three days before returning home, for the safety of his family.

Jin Erniu has recovered and should no longer be infected. Considering this, Liang Shuyan decided to have Jin Erniu lead the brothers from the martial arts school on patrol to prevent anyone else from breaking into the village.

After discussing things with Li Zheng for a while, she felt a little sleepy. By then, it was getting late, so she decided to find a place to rest for a while.

At the entrance of the tent, the faces of the elderly Li couple looked much better, indicating that they had recovered considerably after taking the medicine.

When Yinxia saw Liang Shuyan come in, she stopped her, saying, "Auntie, what are you doing? My grandparents are fine. Please don't come in. What if you get infected?"

Liang Shuyan gave them another bowl of medicine that Dashan had bought from town, and instructed them, "Pangdan, Yinxia, ​​you two are such filial children. Give this bowl of medicine to your grandparents. It's so cold, and they're suffering in the tent. Get well soon. If there are no more symptoms in three days, you can go home."

Fatty knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowing repeatedly: "Thank you, Auntie. If it weren't for you, my grandparents would probably be dead. Thank you, Auntie."

Liang Shuyan put these medicinal herbs into the magnifying glass of the system and searched for them. Fortunately, the system had all the medicinal herbs of this kind that she had purchased for more than 100 taels of silver and stored them in the warehouse, just in case.

"Alright, no need to thank me. Take good care of your grandparents. Since you won't let me in, I won't go in. You two also need to take good care of yourselves."

To prevent the virus from spreading into her home, Liang Shuyan bought some disinfectant from the system and sprayed it around the house.

Li Zheng gathered the patrolmen together. The people of Daling Village received an important message: "Starting today, all workshops and schools in the village must close! You patrolmen, intensify your patrols. No suspicious person should be allowed into Daling Village. If an infection breaks out, it will be a terrible thing!"

Some people wondered, "How can you not go out? You still want to do business?"

"Exactly, if I don't go out, what will my family eat and drink?"

The villagers might not know what happened last night. Li Zheng said with a stern face, "Take what I tell you or leave it! Don't you know what happened last night? Grandpa and Grandma Fatty almost lost their lives, mainly because they were infected by people from town. If you want to go out, you can, as long as you're not afraid of dying, as long as you don't implicate our Daling Village!"

How could I not know about something so important?

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Liang Shuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Although our situation has improved somewhat, we cannot be too optimistic. The main thing is to follow what Li Zheng said, take good care of ourselves at home, and not cause trouble for the village or harm our families."

Everyone has witnessed the changes in Daling Village in recent years. Everyone knows that half of the credit goes to Aunt Dashan. From the two wheat harvests to leading everyone to prosperity, building roads and schools in the village, none of these achievements can be separated from Aunt Dashan.

"Yes, we believe what Aunt Dashan says. So we'll do as she says and stay home. We won't starve for a few days, but this illness can kill us!"
