Chapter 458 A Surprise
"gentlemen."
Hearing Zhan Chuan say that Zhou Yunshu and the other person were not infected was one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes was another.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let him come to the Zhou family's door."
Zhou Yunshu put down the pen in her hand and listened to Cen Miaoying's self-blame. She said, "This is not something you can control, but fortunately everyone is fine."
The other two cases that were found have been isolated and are receiving treatment as best as possible.
As for the others, Zhou Yunshu arranged for them to exterminate insects, flies and rats, and disinfect them once in the morning and once in the evening.
It's just the rain.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the drizzle falling outside the window again, and was almost annoyed by the rain.
When will the rain stop completely?
"Sir, I want to move out. Brother Zhan said the yard next door is empty, so I want to move there first."
Zhou Yunshu listened to Cen Miaoying's words and glanced out the window.
It was the first time she saw Zhanchuan so enthusiastic.
"Sure, come back and tell me if you need anything. Since we're moving, go pack up first. If you don't have enough money..."
Cen Miaoying quickly waved her hands and said, "That's enough, I have money."
Zhou Yunshu gave them a very high monthly salary, not to mention the usual benefits and rewards.
After Cen Miaoying left, Wu Gui walked in with a bowl of red date and barley soup.
"Take a break." Wu Gui brought the red date and barley soup to Zhou Yunshu and said to her, "If everything goes well, Qingfeng will arrive in Yuncheng today or tomorrow."
"Well, I'll let Jingao pick him up then."
"What do you think about what Zhan Chuan said?"
Today, Zhan Chuan went straight to Zhou's house as soon as he arrived in Yuncheng.
On his way from Dongchuan to Yuncheng, he passed through several empty villages, which really scared him.
But think about it, in the rainy weather, there is no smell of fireworks and human voices in the village drenched by the continuous drizzle. The whole village is wet and exudes a gloomy and dead atmosphere, which is creepy no matter how you look at it.
"It's impossible for people to disappear without a reason. Even if they died, there would be corpses or graves. So I prefer to believe that they migrated the entire village."
"But where can they move to in this horrible weather?"
Wu Gui's face was filled with unspeakable impatience. "Do you know what I'm most afraid of right now?"
Zhou Yunshu looked up at Wu Gui and said, "Are you worried that those villages are also infected with the plague or some other pestilence?"
Wu Gui nodded, "Yes."
"Think about it, even though we're so careful, we still get infected. What about the people in the village? Some of them don't even have the habit of boiling water to drink."
Even though this is just a small habit, it can sometimes save lives.
"What if these missing people come outside of Yuncheng?" Wu Gui clenched his fists. "Should we let them in or ignore them?"
Zhou Yunshu said directly: "It's impossible to let them into the city."
At least it is impossible to let them into the city at this critical juncture.
Just as Wu Gui said, this group of people may be carriers of the plague. If they are really allowed into the city, wouldn’t that be courting their own destruction?
"Sir, letters have arrived from Qishui Manor, Jinguo Manor, and Changye Manor."
Zhou Yunshu opened the small bamboo tubes that were soaked on the outside. Inside were letters written to her regularly by the head of the farm under Zhou Yunshu.
It is definitely not possible to rely on people to deliver messages in this bad weather. We can only rely on carrier pigeons when it is not raining.
Fortunately, the letter arrived today, otherwise if it had rained harder later, the letter would have been lost halfway.
Because Zhou Yunshu had repeatedly reminded the manors, the situation in these manors was better than that in Yuncheng, and no one was infected with the plague for the time being.
Although there is no threat in this regard, Jinguo Village said that some nearby villagers wanted to break into the village.
Even after being thrown out, he would call his companions to come again. In the end, Li Danier had no choice but to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and also strengthened the patrols in the village.
If they don't rely on the use of force to deter others at this time, they will be the ones who will be eaten alive in the end.
In the evening, the rain fell heavily again.
Zhou Yunshu stood under the corridor, looking at the rain that seemed to never stop. She really wondered if God wanted to wash Haizhou clean with a heavy rain.
Half of Yuncheng was not flooded, but many places in Haizhou were definitely flooded.
Dongchuan is one of them, but there is a high terrain near Dongchuan. When Zhanchuan came, all the people near Dongchuan and Dongwang Village had been moved there, so the losses were not heavy.
In the morning, Wu Guigang said that Qingfeng would come to Yuncheng in the next two days. In the evening, Zhou Yunshu saw Qingfeng and others at the gate of Zhou's house.
Yes, Qingfeng did not come back alone. He brought back two whole carts of medicinal herbs, and Wei Zhong and others were with him.
When Qingfeng came back, he first met Zhou Yunshu, and then took the medicinal herbs he had brought to see his master.
The Regent was really generous. After knowing that he was resigning and preparing to return to Qingzhou, he not only did not stop him, but also specially prepared two large carriages full of medicinal herbs for him, which were directly transported to the ship to bring back.
Qingfeng went to find his master happily, while Wei Zhong handed a wooden box and a thick letter to Zhou Yunshu.
"The box contains the gift that the Master and His Majesty prepared for you and Young Master Kang Kang. The letter was also written by both of you."
As for Pingping, in order to let him feel a sense of participation, Xixi dipped his little hand in ink and pressed it on the last piece of letter paper. In this way, her mother could see her brother growing up.
In the thick letter, only three pages were written by Ji Sheng, and the rest were all in Xixi's handwriting.
The handwriting Xixi wrote on the letter paper this time was slightly smaller than before, and the appearance was much neater. It was obvious that she had studied hard and practiced diligently.
The letter written by Ji Sheng was nothing more than about Xixi and Pingping, and nothing else was mentioned. In the end, in addition to asking Zhou Yunshu to be careful, he also said that he would come to Haizhou at the end of the year.
Ji Sheng did not say why he came to Haizhou, but in Xixi's letter, Ji Sheng's trip to Haizhou was to bring Zhou Yunshu and Kang Kang back to the capital.
In addition, Xixi also mentioned Zhou Yunjia and Ji Mingzhu who went to Beijing to take the exam, saying that Zhou Yunjia was disobedient and was scolded by Ji Mingzhu.
As for what he meant by being disobedient, Xixi couldn't explain it clearly.
After Zhou Yunshu read the letter twice, she put it into her own space as before.
She hadn't looked into her own space for a long time. When she put the letter in this time, she found that the peach tree in front of her house in her space was full of fruits.
Although the fruit is large, it is not yet fully ripe.
As for the lotus seeds in the lotus pond, several have grown, but compared to the peaches that are about to mature, the lotus seeds mature much more slowly.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the tree full of peaches and resisted the urge to pick one to taste right away.
She subconsciously felt that these peaches and the lotus seeds in the lotus pond must have some magical effects, otherwise they would not be related to the number of her subordinates, whether they were healthy and safe, and the people's support.
Zhou Yunshu hopes that they can give her a surprise when they mature.
