One hundred and four
When the prefect of Cangwu County received a memorial sent by the magistrate of Yu County, he was afraid that the memorial might be unclean, so he asked his subordinates to hold it and read it out from a distance.
When he heard his subordinates read out that eight people died of the epidemic in Yu County, his face was full of disbelief.
When he heard that the epidemic was over and requested to lift the lockdown on Yu County, he became even more skeptical.
How is that possible!
The epidemic was extremely dangerous at the time. If it could pass so easily, people wouldn't be so frightened of it.
I'm afraid they are concealing the situation, right?
Although the prefect of the county seat loved pleasure, he was also afraid that the epidemic would harm the county seat and even more afraid that it would implicate him, so he did not dare to relax and sent people to Yu County to conduct a thorough investigation.
Three people were sent to Yu County to investigate. A few days later, the spies reported back that the situation in Yu County was excellent, as if there had been no epidemic. Even the villages under the jurisdiction of Yu County were doing as usual.
After hearing the news from his subordinates' investigation, another staff member reminded him that the situation in Yu County might not be an epidemic, but just a disease similar to an epidemic, and that County Magistrate Zhou was just seeing things.
In order to prevent any mistakes, the county governor sent several people to conduct a thorough investigation again.
The information returned from the investigation was the same as last time, so County Magistrate Zhou’s request was approved.
In order to avoid unnecessary panic, the prefect of Yu County deliberately concealed the epidemic. However, despite this, some people vaguely knew some news, so no strangers came to Yu County for the time being.
Of course, except for the people sent by the county magistrate to investigate.
County Magistrate Zhou was aware that a stranger had entered Yu County.
Over the past ten days, two groups of people arrived. He assumed they were all sent by the prefect to investigate, so he just asked people to be more careful and not to alarm them. He never expected that there were other people involved.
Yu Ying worked as a doctor in Ji's medical clinic.
Many people came here because of her reputation. Half of them were really sick, and the other half were there out of curiosity about the appearance of this female doctor and wanted to watch the fun.
For a while, Ji's Clinic was packed with patients, which made several other clinics jealous, but they did not cause trouble.
Yu Ying is no longer just an ordinary woman, but a female doctor who is highly valued by County Magistrate Zhou. They cannot afford to offend her.
When Yu Ying is free in the classroom, she will take a few young apprentices to identify herbs and explain their effects.
Apart from Fu An and the granddaughter of the Ji family, the other two girls were selected by Yu Ying from Lingshui Village.
When it was time to get off work, she said goodbye to her apprentices and took Fu An home.
When she returned home, she heard Mrs. Luo say that Fu Wei had returned home early, so she washed her hands and went back to the house.
When I opened the door and was about to come in, I was stunned.
In the room, Fu Wei was sitting in a wheelchair and looking towards the door.
Fu Wei will not sit in a wheelchair at home.
Yu Ying frowned and immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Would you like to talk to me now? I have something important to tell you." She asked tentatively.
Fu Wei knew what she meant, so he said to her, "Close the door."
After hesitating for two breaths, Yu Ying turned around and closed the door.
The door closed, and Fu Wei immediately looked up at the beams above and said, "My wife is trustworthy."
Yu Ying also looked up, but before she could see clearly how the person was hiding above, a figure jumped down.
Yu Ying: ...
This beam is at least ten feet from the ground, so I just jumped off it...
Did Qinggong really exist in ancient times?
After the person landed neatly, Yu Ying, who had been stunned for a moment, came back to her senses and quickly restrained her inexperienced look.
The person who landed was a strong middle-aged man.
After seeing the middle-aged man's appearance clearly, Yu Ying finally understood what Fu Wei meant - the spirit of a brutal bandit and the spirit of righteousness coexisting without being contradictory.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, his features were dignified, and his height and physique made him look extremely oppressive.
Yu Ying's gaze slowly moved upwards from the middle-aged man to the beams above.
Such a strong man should not crush the beams in her house, right?
Middle-aged man: ...
Fu Wei: ...
The two of them were silent for a moment, obviously noticing Yu Ying's scrutiny.
Fu Wei coughed lightly and said, "Sixth Lady, this is..."
The voice paused, then looked at the middle-aged man: "What's your name?"
The middle-aged man said, "My last name is Mo, so please call me... Uncle Mo."
When he said the words "Uncle Mo", he paused.
When Yu Ying heard the name "Uncle Mo", she was stunned and vaguely knew who this person was.
Fu Wei didn't call him Uncle Mo, but instead called out, "Senior Mo."
Uncle Mo glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Yu Ying with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Fu Wei said, "The spy that Senior Mo was looking for nearly lost his life to an epidemic not long ago, but fortunately he was discovered in time and rescued. The person who saved him was my wife, Liu Niang."
Uncle Mo was shocked when he heard this, and his expression became serious: "How is Alang now?"
Ah Lang should be the spy.
Yu Ying replied, "When I last visited him, he had recovered to about 70% or 80% of his normal condition. He should be fully recovered now."
Uncle Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that nothing was wrong. After relaxing for a moment, his face suddenly became serious.
He took a step back and bowed to Yu Ying: "Thank you for saving me, my lady."
Yu Ying hurriedly said, "Senior Mo, please don't be polite."
Uncle Mo put down his hand and said, "I must thank you. That spy is not someone else, he is my son."
Yu Ying was stunned, then looked at Fu Wei, but he was not surprised at all, and obviously he had guessed it.
Yes, it is clear from the aura of this Uncle Mo that he is not a small fry. Since he came to check on the spy’s situation personally, he must have a close relationship with the spy.
Uncle Mo looked at Fu Wei and said truthfully, "I originally asked someone else to come to Yu County to look after the Fu family, but Alang volunteered to come to Yu County. Not long after he left, I received news of an epidemic in Yu County. Although I was eager to know his situation, Yu County was sealed off, making it difficult for me to enter the city."
Hearing this, Yu Ying asked curiously, "But there aren't any new faces coming to Yu County right now. Senior Mo, aren't you afraid of being discovered by coming here?"
Uncle Mo gave her a meaningful look.
Judging from what the woman said, she obviously knew their identities.
Since she knew that, she should be aware of the brutality of the bandits, so why wasn't there any fear on her face?
Uncle Mo thought about what he heard when he arrived in Yu County. The reason why the epidemic was safely overcome was not only due to the efforts of the government and the doctors, but also because of a woman named "Madam Yu".
Uncle Mo, who had investigated the situation of the Fu family, naturally knew that Fu Wei's wife also believed Yu and had some medical skills. After a little inquiry, he found out that it was true.
The woman is not good-looking and Fu Wei has a bad leg, but they are both brave and smart people, so they are a good match.
"Prefect Shen sent people to Yu County to inquire about the news, and the county magistrate didn't know if I was close to the prefect." He looked at Fu Wei and said, "After I entered the city, I got rid of the people in your yamen. I found out that you had moved away when I found the entrance of West Lane. I had no choice but to follow you to the yamen."
Having said that, he looked at Yu Ying and asked him, "Is your wife the one you said would heal your legs when you were in the county seat?"
Fu Wei hummed indifferently and looked at Yu Ying beside him: "Liu Niang's medical skills are amazing, perhaps even better than your doctor."
Uncle Mo raised an eyebrow. Although he disagreed in his heart, he didn't understand after all, so he didn't say anything. He just asked, "How is Alang now?"
Fu Wei then told Na Lang what he had told him before and the identity he had fabricated.
At the end of his words, Fu Wei reminded, "Within six days, Yu County will return to normal, and the magistrate will send people to investigate that person's background. If there is no problem, he will be released."
Uncle Mo pondered for a moment and said, "After I leave, I'll have someone make all the arrangements as quickly as possible."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Fu Wei with a serious expression: "This is not a problem. The problem is that the news of the epidemic in Yu County will definitely spread. Then the Huo family father and son may cause trouble for you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying looked at Fu Wei worriedly.
Fu Wei smiled calmly and said, "Senior Mo is on good terms with the Fu family and my biological father. I'm afraid he won't stand by and watch someone die, right, Uncle Mo?"
The last "Uncle Mo" made Uncle Mo smile: "You really know how to deal with current affairs."
After that, his face gradually became serious: "Of course I won't stand by and watch someone die. Let's not talk about Alang. I've followed your father through life and death for so many years. I will never watch Master Fu's wife and children being bullied by their enemies."
Fu Wei's smile deepened, and he bowed to Uncle Mo: "Thank you in advance, Uncle Mo."
After a few words, Uncle Mo said, "I can't stay in Yu County for long, and Yu County is on high alert right now. I can only arrange for people to protect you after the impact of the epidemic has passed."
He then looked at Fu Wei, and after a moment's deliberation, he said, "Instead of worrying about the Huo family harming you and the Fu family, why don't you resign from your position as a staff member at the government office and come with me and your family up the mountain?"
Fu Wei remained wary of the invitation from this unfamiliar person.
"Perhaps I will really join Uncle Mo in the future, but for now I still want to continue staying in Yu County."
Seeing that he didn't completely refuse, Uncle Mo continued, "If you ever figure it out, you can come find me."
After saying that, he looked at Yu Ying again and said, "My lady, it's the same. It's very rare for a woman to be a doctor. If she can be praised by others, she must have some skills. If you can't make it in Yu County one day, you can come to Muyun Mountain to find me. I will definitely use you."
Yu Ying smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Mo first."
The couple had just been calling him "Senior Mo", but suddenly changed their tone and called him "Uncle Mo" without any pressure at all. They were truly a couple, and even this little bit of tacit understanding was perfect.
Uncle Mo didn't stay long because he had important matters to attend to with his son. Before leaving, he said to Fu Wei, "I'll leave Alang in your care."
Fu Wei nodded: "I will do my best to ensure that he does not suffer in the county government office."
With his words, Uncle Mo was ready to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly came outside and he quickly hid behind the door.
Luo's voice came from outside the house: "Erlang, Liuniang, the evening meal is ready, come out and eat quickly."
When his mother's voice rang out, Fu Wei did not miss Uncle Mo's slightly stunned look.
Fu Wei hesitated for a moment.
This person must have a deep connection with the Fu family, and his relationship with his biological father is not an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.
Yu Ying also noticed this, and she responded calmly, "I'll be there in a moment."
"Hurry up, otherwise the food will get cold." After giving the instructions, Mrs. Luo turned and left.
After his mother left the door, Fu Wei said to Uncle Mo, "Uncle Mo, wait until we get out before you leave."
Uncle Mo nodded with a heavy heart.
Fu Wei and Yu Ying were the first to leave the house and go to the front to eat.
Before Uncle Mo climbed over the wall and left, he hid in the dark and observed the happy family for a moment.
His gaze shifted away from Luo and looked at the adult man who looked similar to Fu Wei. A slightly relieved smile appeared on his face. After observing for a moment, he turned and left.
