Chapter 73: Lianzhou Plague
"Lianzhou, plague." Chu Ci was slightly stunned when she heard these two words. It had been a long time since she had worried about the plot of the original book.
She had changed so much, and the Fan family had even survived the catastrophe of Lianzhou. Unexpectedly, she would still hear the words "Lianzhou" and "plague".
It just so happened that the head of the Chu family was trapped in Lianzhou because of him. Chu Ci made a quick decision: "Wait a moment, I'll go prepare some medicine, and then I'll go with you."
"This..." Even though Doctor Hua and the other doctor were knowledgeable and experienced, they had never seen a daughter-in-law go on a long journey just by saying so!
The two exchanged glances, and finally Chu Chengyun stepped forward: "Such an important matter, Ah Ci, don't you need to discuss it with Old Madam Fan and your parents-in-law?"
Chu Chengyun's original intention was to make Chu Ci give up this idea, but Chu Ci, for various reasons, had always been followed.
Even now, Chu Ci had no intention of restraining her temper. Without hesitation, she said, "I'll go discuss this with them right away."
After saying that, he hurried to the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Fan.
Doctor Hua and Chu Chengyun, who stayed where they were, looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Doctor Hua finally spoke: "If we take advantage of this opportunity to leave, will she catch up with us?"
Chu Chengyun nodded and gave the answer that Hua Shenyi was most reluctant to hear: "Eighty to ninety times."
Divine Doctor Hua,...
When Mr. and Mrs. Fan heard that a plague had broken out in Lianzhou and that Chu Ci was going to follow Doctor Hua to Lianzhou, they could hardly believe what they heard.
Especially Madam Fan, she exploded directly and repeatedly asked: "Chu, do you still remember your identity?"
Chu Ci did not flinch at Madam Fan's outburst. She said, "Grandma, first of all, my last name is Chu, and my given name is Ci. Even if I am Fan Jingrui's wife, this will never change."
Old Madam Fan knew that Chu Ci was unorthodox, but she didn't expect her to be so eccentric.
However, Chu Ci seemed to be unaware of Madam Fan's anger and continued, "Secondly, and most importantly, Patriarch Chu came here because of me. They are trapped in Lianzhou, and I have no choice but to take responsibility."
"So, my lady, you have to go on this trip to Lianzhou." It turned out that Doctor Hua and Chu Chengyun saw that the situation was not good, so they had to find Fan Jingrui and tell him everything.
Therefore, Fan Jingrui listened to Chu Ci's words carefully.
Fan Jingrui's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and Chu Ci felt a little guilty. But she had to go to Lianzhou. "Husband, the head of the Chu family came to Lianzhou because of me. I can't just sit there and watch."
After hearing this, Fan Jingrui pondered for a moment and said, "If my wife must go, I am willing to go with you."
"I want to go too." Qianxue and Qianyan hurried over after hearing the news: "Sister-in-law, take us with you!"
Although the eldest sister Qianxi did not say anything, the bundle in her hand showed her feelings.
"No, except my husband, no one else in the Fan family is allowed to go." Chu Ci's attitude was extremely firm, even unusually sharp.
"Why?" Now, not only Qianxue and Qianyan, but also Fan Jingrui, Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan, and Mr. and Mrs. Fan Chongchang who also heard the news and rushed over, noticed that Chu Ci was acting strangely.
"Because... because..." I really can't think of a suitable reason.
Chu Ci simply gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Because Lianzhou is very likely to be the place where the Fan family will die. My husband has me to protect him, so he will be fine, but you can't."
Fan Jingrui suddenly remembered that Chu Ci had been feeling uneasy when they passed through Lianzhou earlier. So it was because of this.
Fan Jingrui made a prompt decision: "Qianxue, Qianyan, you stay. Your sister-in-law's rice fields and wild boars need someone to take care of them."
Seeing Fan Jingrui's support, Chu Ci also said, "We can't delay the fertilization of the rice, otherwise it will affect the harvest. Also, the wild boar needs sterilization. If we miss the deadline, its chances of survival will be greatly reduced. We can't afford to delay either of these things."
"But we don't understand." Qianxue still wanted to struggle.
The next moment, Chu Ci interrupted him, "I have a manual here. If you don't understand something, just look it up in there."
Chu Ci had already arranged all the follow-up matters, and Madam Fan knew she couldn't stop him. She could only sullenly warn him, "Be careful when you go to Lianzhou."
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. We will pay attention to it."
But Madam Fan didn't give up. "And you, don't be reluctant to use those strange protective gear Chu Ci has. If anything happens to Rui Ge'er, I will not forgive you."
As expected, once something happens, the closeness of the relationship is immediately apparent. However, Chu Ci understood that Mrs. Fan was worried about her grandson, so he didn't argue with her. "I'll do my best."
"Go away!" Mrs. Fan got angry just looking at Chu Ci. Even the eldest brother and his wife who were standing on Chu Ci's side found it annoying.
But at this time, no one had time to comfort the old lady.
It is good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it is hard to go out for a moment. Food, clothing, daily necessities, and shelter, all items must be prepared properly.
So everyone is busy!
Doctor Hua was astonished. "The Fan family actually agreed?"
On the contrary, Chu Chengyun smiled and said, "The Fan family is not stupid."
Divine Doctor Hua asked, "Are you saying that the Fan family treats Chu this way because of her value?"
Chu Chengyun knew that Dr. Hua often overlooked the dark side of human nature, so he didn't say anything too absolute: "At least there is this factor."
After hearing this, Doctor Hua seemed to be lost in thought, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.
On the way to Lianzhou, Doctor Hua kept staring at Fan Jingrui.
Finally, Chu couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Divine Doctor Hua, is there something wrong with my husband?"
When Doctor Hua heard Chu Ci ask this, a glint flashed in his eyes: "How about you learn medicine from me?"
Chu Ci was puzzled. Is there any necessary connection between this and studying medicine? "How did you know I have a talent for medicine?"
Divine Doctor Hua shook his head, still answering irrelevantly: "I know you are very capable, but even the most capable people can get sick. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. For example, right now, if you were also proficient in medicine, you would know that your husband is in good health."
Chu Ci nearly choked to death, then forced out an incredibly fake smile: "Divine Doctor Hua, are you too nervous? So you're making a joke to lighten the mood?"
Seeing that Chu Ci didn't understand his good intentions at all, Doctor Hua shook his head and said, "Anyway, this is all for your own good. Please think it over carefully."
Chu Ci was about to refuse, but even Old Master Chu spoke up to persuade him, "Old Man Hua's suggestion is very good."
Chu Ci's doubts grew even stronger, so he turned to look at Fan Jingrui. What was going on between these two?
So much so that she missed the two people's disappointed looks.
