Chapter 51 The Source of Disease

Gan Huaibi was deeply hurt.

"Brother, what are you talking about? You actually doubt me?"

"Mom said I'm her biological child!"

Gan Huaibi asked in a baby voice, "I heard from mom that she could recite several poems when she was five years old. Can you?"

Mom could recite several poems when she was five years old?

Gan Huaibi widened his eyes and looked at his mother for help.

"Mother, when you were five years old, could you really recite several poems?"

Hui Niang nodded: "Of course, when I was your age, I could not only recite several poems, but also recognize many words."

"I can recognize more than a hundred words."

She was not very smart. There was an elder brother in her family who could recite the Thousand Family Poems and the Three Character Classic when he was five years old, and knew nearly three hundred words.

Gan Huaibi shook his body: "Wuwuwu, I can't do it."

"I, I must not be my parents' biological son!"

He was struck by lightning and collapsed on the ground and cried.

Hui Niang knew that she should go to her son's side and comfort him gently, but she didn't know why, she just wanted to laugh now.

She tried hard to hold back her laughter, but it was too hard and her pretty face was distorted.

Gan Tian was not so kind.

She couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

Not only did she laugh out loud, she also laughed loudly in her heart.

[Hahaha, second brother is so stupid and so cute.]

Hearing that his precious sister actually said he was stupid in her heart, Gan Huaibi was even more sad and cried even louder.

He rolled on the ground several times, but he heard his sister continue to say in her heart.

[If second brother was not here, this family would be so boring.]

His sister praised him!

Gan Huaibi grumbled and got up from the ground.

"I'm not stupid, I just can't sit still. It's so annoying to sit there and recite poems."

"If I like something, I can learn it in a short time. If you don't believe me, tell me an interesting story and I promise to repeat it word for word."

No one believed the child's words, and they just thought the kid was bragging.

But Gan Huaibi insisted that everyone test her.

[I always feel that my second brother wants to hear a story, but he is embarrassed to say it.]

Gan Huaibi blushed. How could his sister be so smart? He did want to hear a story, but only a little bit.

Unexpectedly, his sister saw through it.

Hui Niang was flustered and didn't have the mind to do anything else. She simply lit the oil lamp and picked up a travel book to read.

They had been carrying these books all the way from Wangjia Village, proving that the contents of these books were excellent.

Hui Niang's voice was gentle and pleasant, and the contents of the books made people feel comfortable and pleasant when she read them. Even a little girl like Gan Tian couldn't help but be attracted.

Before they knew it, everyone fell asleep.

The next day when Hui Niang got up, she found a few more packages of medicinal materials on the windowsill. It was written on the medicinal materials: boil water, one bowl per person, twice a day.

The handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful, with its own style. Hui Niang recognized it as the handwriting of her husband Gan Fanren at a glance. She hurriedly stuck her head out, but didn't even see a shadow.

She touched the medicinal materials, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes unconsciously.

Although she didn't know what these herbs were used for, she still boiled them into water and distributed it to everyone. Even a little girl like Gan Tian was forced to drink a little bit.

Really just a little bit.

Gan Tian felt that the taste was gone as soon as she tasted it.

After she was born, she only drank the cooling tea made by Su Nanxing once, except for drinking milk, and she had never tasted any other flavors.

Suddenly she tasted other flavors, and she felt very novel. She smacked her little lips and wanted to taste it again.

Seeing this, Hui Niang stretched out her fingertips and touched her little nose.

"This is medicine, you can't take it carelessly."

She hugged Gan Tian with a worried look.

Outside the window, Gan Fanren sat in the corner under the window and smiled silently.

Xiaoye City is now in chaos. Except for the people transporting corpses, there are few people on the streets, especially at night, it is even more desolate.

He found everyone with almost no effort.

Su Baishou saw the patient and confirmed that it was plague.

Plague.

This disease is very serious. It happened once in the previous dynasty. Nearly 50,000 people died that time, almost all the people in the city died.

Until the plague disappeared, no one found an effective treatment.

Gan Fanren lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes showed a beautiful reflection on his eyelids.

When he heard that it was plague, he didn't feel scared, he was just a little worried.

Worried that his wife and daughter would also be infected, worried that if he died, his wife and daughter would be bullied.

He stood up quietly, dragging his tired body away slowly, but he didn't notice that the window had been quietly opened.

His wife was standing in front of the window, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

After being in love for decades, how could she not understand her husband.

Her husband was afraid of infecting her with the disease, so she would protect herself and the children well and not waste her husband's kindness.

She closed the window reluctantly until her husband's back disappeared completely.

Gan Fanren came to the empty room of the nest and helped Su Baishou to boil medicine.

Seeing him come back, Gongsun Yue asked with concern: "Sister-in-law...are you okay now?"

"Very good."

"Brother Gan, you really shouldn't have come."

"You are all here, how can I not come?"

Su Baishou saw Gan Fanren boiling medicine, so he went to see the patients admitted.

He glanced at Gan Fanren and said, "My medicine is only suitable for preventing common epidemics, but I don't know if it is effective for treating plague."

"If you are smart, you should leave here as soon as possible, find an empty house to live in for a month, and then return to your family."

"It doesn't matter if an old man like me dies. Nanxing is my granddaughter and is also half a doctor. It is reasonable for her to stay here."

"What's the point of you staying here?"

Su Baishou usually smiles and looks like a good old man, but this time he got very angry.

"You young people just know how to make trouble."

Several young people touched their noses embarrassedly and kept silent.

Gan Fanren said, "We have come out to look for you. I think we are carrying the disease. There is no point in going back. We might as well do something for you."

Seeing these people being so stubborn, Su Baishou pointed helplessly at the medicine on the medicine stove.

"The stoves contain my special rat poison. You guys will mix it with the food and put it in every house."

"Remember, don't leave out even empty houses."

"I will get some quicklime. You guys will sprinkle some in every house. Instruct them to maintain hygiene. Food eaten by snakes, insects, rats and ants must not be given to people!" "

Okay."

Gan Fanren and his friends came out in a hurry and didn't bring any food with them. They had to return to their residence and left a note for Hui Niang.
