The person who spoke was Guan Yaoer who rushed over from Wan'antang.
When Shu Jiaying saw Guan Yaoer's help, she left boldly and with confidence.
When she arrived at the government office in Fengyun Town, Shu Jiaying asked the official about Village Chief Xu, but the answer she got was that Village Chief Xu had left Fengyun Town before the town was closed.
"Brother Cha, are you sure that Lizhang Xu left before the town was sealed off?"
"Of course, I personally sent him on board. Before boarding, I accompanied him to Zhiweilou to buy two roasted squabs. Village Chief Xu once told me that his wife loved eating the roasted squabs from Zhiweilou the most.
I think there are very few good men in the world who love their wives as much as Lichang Xu does."
Listening to the official's joke, Shu Jiaying couldn't laugh at all. She said with a heavy face, "So Uncle Xu returned to Guangming Village a few days ago, but I went to Uncle Xu's house to ask, and his wife said he didn't go home. And now Uncle Xu is not in Fengyun Town. Brother Cha, where do you think Uncle Xu went?"
"Miss, don't worry. Village Chief Xu is very lucky and has a long life. He should be fine. Maybe he didn't return to Guangming Village. I think he may have sought refuge in another village."
Shu Jiaying immediately refuted the officer's statement.
"Brother Cha, didn't you just say that before Uncle Xu boarded the ship, he went to Zhiweilou to buy his wife's favorite roasted squab? Normally, since he bought the roasted squab, he should have returned home as soon as possible.
Besides, plague is a big deal, how could Uncle Xu do that?
Abandon his family and go somewhere else?"
"this……"
The officer was speechless after being asked by Shu Jiaying. At the same time, he also realized that Village Chief Xu had been missing for a few days. It was very likely that things were not as optimistic as he imagined. Perhaps Village Chief Xu had already been killed.
Thinking of this, the officer looked at Shu Jiaying with a complicated expression and asked, "Since you knew that Village Chief Xu had been missing for a few days, why didn't you come to Fengyun Town and tell us?"
Shu Jiaying immediately said speechlessly: "You yourself said that Fengyun Town was sealed off. I told you earlier... but how can I still get in?"
“Yeah, but you’re in now!”
Wow... Is this guy a nitpicker?
Shu Jiaying took great patience to explain to the officer.
"Yes, I can come in now because I have found a cure for the plague."
"you……"
The officer's eyes were full of disbelief.
However, Shu Jiaying didn't want to explain any further. She clasped her hands together and said, "Uncle Xu isn't at the yamen. Sorry to bother you."
Having said that, she turned and left the yamen.
They came to the epidemic area again. At this time, the conditions of the patients in the epidemic area gradually improved because they had taken medicine, and Yao Dahai could finally have a good rest.
While Yao Dahai was asleep, Shu Jiaying pulled Guan Yao'er aside and asked, "Miss Guan, your name really sounds like the name of an old friend. The old friend I knew was also called Guan Yao'er."
"Really? There are many people with the same name in the world. Everyone is called Guan Yaoer. What's so strange about that?"
"No, it's not strange, but I think fate is quite subtle. Sometimes I think that many things are actually controlled by fate, just like my old friend. Although she has a ten-year-old daughter, she has never known where her daughter is."
