In the room, Tang Shiyue cried heartily, then leaned on Qiao Sangyu's shoulder, unable to hold back her hiccups for a while.
She felt that crying was like taking out the trash, and after crying she felt refreshed.
Qiao Sangyu still hugged her tightly, patted her back, and kept comforting her softly... Then she heard her little master say softly: "Ayu."
"Um?"
“Ayu,” she pulled away and said while hiccuping, “Your chest, hiccup, is so soft to touch! When I grow up, hiccup, I wonder if it will be this soft…”
Qiao Sangyu: “…”
Her face was red as if blood was about to drip out. She glared at her and wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to know what to say. She could only stamp her feet, stand up and walk out... But when she pushed the door open, she saw that there were actually several people at the door, and Xia Yuhui was staring at her.
Qiao Sangyu was so ashamed that she covered her face and ran away like a flash.
Xia Yuhui touched his nose uncomfortably, coughed twice, and wanted to say something to save himself, but when he looked at them, he saw that they were standing straight, with no intention of turning back. He swallowed his words back immediately.
In the room, Tang Shiyue looked quite innocent: "Why are you running? I didn't say anything. You are so shameless, hiccup..."
...
...
She came out with a kettle to boil some water, and saw a few people standing at the door.
Tang Shiyue's eyes widened immediately, and she was furious: "What are you doing here! Are you crazy? A group of grown men are standing outside eavesdropping on us! You little bastards! Eavesdropping! Shameless!"
Young Master Meng felt very aggrieved: "I just saw you crying..."
"Who is crying!" Tang Shiyue was even more angry: "Who is crying? You are the one crying! I am not crying!"
She was so angry that she wanted to kick him, but she held back because she wasn't that familiar with him.
Qing Weiliao quickly stepped forward to take the kettle, and Xia Yuhui quickly turned around to find something to eat... Only Ren Dong was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a while, and she took her anger out on him, kicking him several times in anger.
Meng Yiqiu bowed repeatedly beside him: "Of course Ayue didn't cry, I cried. When I saw the scab, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I cried because I had escaped death... I cried for a long time, but Ayue didn't cry. How could Ayue, who is so wise and brave, cry... Ayue won't cry."
After forcibly saving his dignity, Tang Shiyue finally snorted and turned to go into the room.
Ren Dong then turned around and fetched some water for her, "Master's wife, wash your face."
Tang Shiyue washed her face and Qing Weile poured her some tea. She held it in both hands. Then Qing Weile and the others reported the situation in the village one by one.
There were only about thirty that failed the first time. They have all been replanted and are all successful. There seems to be no danger at the moment.
Tang Dongzi and the others have taken good care of them, and their conditions have now stabilized. It seems that their lives are not in danger.
Moreover, Tang Dongzi is indeed a smart kid. With him around, the children can stay calm. Even when their family members come over, they can comfort them and their emotions are stable.
Tang Shiyue nodded and said, "When you see Ding Jiu later, ask him to come find me. I have something to ask him."
Qing Weiliao motioned to Ren Dong, who went out and called Ding Jiu in a moment later. Tang Shiyue said, "There is something I want to ask you to check, because they are often in the village and everyone knows them, so it is not convenient to do it."
Ding Jiu looked at her silently.
He now understood Tang Shiyue's personality very well. What inconvenience was there? She just wanted to ask her people to take a break! She was just polite in words, but she was never polite when she ordered him to work.
Ding Jiu said, "Just tell me, I will definitely do it for you if I can."
Tang Shiyue said, "It was Tang Shijin, the one who first shouted 'smallpox'. I always felt that this person was a little weird. We have met him before. Do you remember him? I want you to help check what he did in this matter."
This matter is simple, and now that she mentioned it, it does need to be checked.
Ding Jiu nodded and withdrew.
Tang Shiyue always felt as if there was something important that she hadn't done yet. She looked up and asked, "Did I forget something?"
Qing Weile and Xia Yuhui flipped through the records quickly.
This is a habit brought up by Tang Shiyue. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so the two of them now carry a small booklet sewn with thread and a black ink pen inserted in it, so that they can write down what they need at any time.
They both looked through it, and even Meng Yiqiu thought about it for a long time, and they all said, "No, it's all done."
Tang Shiyue was really exhausted, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's take a rest. Everyone should rest early because we have to go to the town to help tomorrow."
…………
At this time, in the city several hundred miles away.
Someone knocked on the gate of the house.
It was late in the evening and not the right time for guests, so the people who were reading at night were a little surprised and looked at each other.
Ah Jia came in and reported: "Mr. Xu, it's Lu Cang. He said he has something urgent and wants to see you."
Xu Wenqu frowned and said directly: "Just say I went to bed."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside shouting, "A smallpox epidemic has broken out in Dongfeng County. Are you really not aware of this?"
In the quiet night, the sound traveled far away.
Several people were horrified and almost put down their pens at the same time.
After a while, Lu Cang was invited in. He did not keep the secret and said, "There has been an outbreak of smallpox in your Dongfeng County. I heard that nearly a hundred people have died. The whole city has been sealed off, and the neighboring counties have also closed their gates..."
He sighed hypocritically: "As soon as I learned about this, I hurried over to tell you that your relatives and old friends may be somewhere else. I don't know how they are doing. I am worried about you."
This Lu Cang was the person Xu Wenqu had mentioned before, the one who provoked him during the county examination.
The two were classmates and both were very talented at the time, but Xu Wenqu was more introverted than Lu Cang, so many people at the time believed that his knowledge was not as good as Lu Cang's.
During the county examination, Lu Cang was confident that he would get the first place, but he deliberately provoked Xu Wenqu to say that sentence. In the end, it was Xu Wenqu who got the first place, and he only got seventh place. From then on, he hated him.
Xu Wenqu rose rapidly and won four first prizes in a row...but he failed in the provincial examination. He was filled with hatred.
Fortunately, something happened to Xu Wenqu later, which made him very happy.
But he failed the provincial examination twice in a row.
The provincial examination is different from the county examination. It is held every three years. He was not a student on government stipend and had no money for stipend. In desperation, he had to open a private school to make a living.
This time, he also brought two disciples to take the exam.
Before coming here, I heard that Xu Siyuan's disciple won the first place in a county case, so I made some effort to find out more about him. Then I came to his house and asked for a place to stay, but Xu Wenqu refused without hesitation.
Now, he told them this news just before the provincial examination, which showed his extremely evil intentions.
But it works.
Even Xu Wenqu was panicked and asked anxiously: "Ajia, have you heard about this?"
Argentine Primera Division hesitated.
While Xu Wenqu and a few others were studying at home, they were out going out to buy things. Of course, they heard about the epidemic in Dongfeng County and were anxious, but after all, they were far away, and although they tried their best to inquire, there was no more news.
Xu Wenqu knew what he was talking about when he saw his expression. He stood up suddenly, his face changed. “I’ll be back right away.”
Tang Shirong said: "Master, I will go back too!"
Ah Jia knelt on the ground with a thud. "Everyone, before Miss Tang left, she told us to make sure your exam goes well. Besides, if there really is a plague, it will be useless for you to go back. You should avoid dangerous places and protect yourselves."
Tang Shirong said anxiously: "My family is still in trouble, how can I stay out of it!"
Tang Junchen also said: "The provincial examination can be taken every year, I must first know that my parents are safe!"
