Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

The couple walked on a dirt road in the countryside, with green trees on both sides and wild flowers of various colors everywhere. There was a row of fences in front, and rows of vegetables were planted in the fences, growing well.

Li Haitang picked a few thorny cucumbers and took them to the well to wash them. The farm meal made by Lu Mu was delicious, and the egg sauce was used to dip the cucumbers, which was a refreshing meal.

There are more than 20 chickens in the yard, and they lay eggs diligently. There are more than a dozen eggs a day. There are only a few people in the family.

"If you like Zhuangzi, let's buy one, dig a big pond, have fields, and raise chickens and ducks."

Xiao Lingchuan suggested that, anyway, the industry is not afraid of too many, buy a farm, and in the future rice will be produced and sent to the city, so there will be no shortage of food at home.

"I'm just afraid that no one will take care of me."

Li Haitang was very tempted, but hesitated again and again, and still didn't make a move. She wanted to buy the farm, but not in Lucheng, but in Kyoto, where every inch of land was expensive.

The siblings will go back to meet their relatives sooner or later. At present, they don't know the attitude of the Ruan family. She is already ready to be kicked out, so buying property is very important.

The school in Kyoto is incomparable to Lushan Academy in Lucheng.

In the future, she will settle down in the capital and buy a larger house. After a few years, she will marry Li Jinhu a wife. As a sister, she will be considered complete.

"Husband, did you see Lu Yuanqing when you came back? Is it still that stinky face?"

Li Haitang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, noticing the fishy smell on her hands, she frowned in disgust, then continued as if thinking of something suddenly, "He detours whenever he sees me."

"Yes, he went to the front yard."

Xiao Lingchuan took out a gray cotton handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to his wife.

It's not surprising that Lu Scholar has such an attitude. He is a man who needs face, a scholar, and has a strong character. The marriage was planned by Zhang Ruyi, and he was forced to bow by the tyrant.

"Husband, is that the point? The point is that nothing happened after dawdling all night!"

Li Haitang almost laughed, Miss Zhang was inexperienced, she was just a noob in this area, she thought that she would be able to give birth to a baby, so she happily learned how to make small clothes, the couple hadn't formally entered the same room yet, Lu Yuanqing must have suspected that she wanted to be a father.

"Looking for an opportunity, I have to give Ruyi a popular science."

She is a majestic doctor Li, and her best friend is a novice. It really can't be justified, and she can't let the couple continue to be so awkward.

There was a quarrel at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed. Zhang Ruyi had to press it again. This time it worked out, and Lu Yuanqing would be able to be honest.

"Husband, it's so hot that you can't breathe!"

Li Haitang walked a few steps, sweat dripped down her forehead, fortunately she lived in Zhuangzi, she and the wild man had a separate small courtyard.

You don’t need to spend firewood to boil water, just fill a bucket with water and throw it in the sun. After an hour, the water feels warm to the touch, just right for washing.

"The weather is a little weird."

It was hot, and the people in the city were not well. I heard that some people died of heatstroke and convulsions. The people in the medical center lined up for daily consultations, and the consumption of medicinal materials was huge. It was only the beginning of the month, and Xiao Lingchuan had already gone to see the doctor. The supplier of medicinal materials has been contacted several times.

Once upon a time, in the scorching summer, he spent most of his time in the mountains, and only went to the city to exchange money after hunting. In his memory, there was never a time when the weather was so abnormal.

Fortunately, the heat is hot. After a heavy rain, the crops will not be short of water for a while, so there is no need to worry about the year of severe drought, and the harvest will not be harvested.

"Miss, don't go to the city for the time being. What do you need? Make a list and I'll go buy it."

Xiao Lingchuan went back and forth to the city, and learned that a strange disease is prevalent in the city. Although his wife is a genius doctor, her body is not strong, so what if she contracted a strange disease?

A few days ago, Li Haitang vaguely heard it mentioned by the tenants in the village, but Aunt Chen came to deliver the fabric and didn't mention it. She thought it was a common illness and not serious.

"Recently, there are a lot of people visiting the clinic, Zhao Langzhong is so busy that he has a heat stroke."

Xiao Lingchuan confirmed that it is not clear whether it is contagious or not. There are many children in the city who get sick first, and have spots on their bodies, which eventually turn into acne.

At the beginning, everyone thought it might be because of the hot weather. Later, accompanied by symptoms such as fever and coma, the people became anxious and ran to the hospital to see a doctor.

This kind of disease has never appeared on a large scale in Lucheng. The doctor thought that the little baby had toxins, and prescribed a relatively mild detoxification prescription. As a result, the disease became more and more serious.

Until dinner time, Li Haitang was still thinking about this matter. She put down the bowl and chopsticks, frowning. Judging from the symptoms mentioned by the savage husband, it is likely to be smallpox.

The mortality rate of smallpox is quite high, and once the disease occurs, there is no particularly effective treatment plan at all, and the patient can only rely on himself.

This disease is almost extinct in modern times, because people have invented the smallpox vaccine, but the vaccine has no effect on people who have already developed the disease.

After the meal????, Li Haitang seemed absent-minded, with a preoccupied appearance. She has never had smallpox, and if she is infected, even if she does not die, she will still have pockmarks on her face.

Of course, maybe she was thinking too much, maybe it was the inflammation caused by common acne, which caused a high fever.

However, the actual situation is not so optimistic. Sure enough, in the next few days, a large area of ​​smallpox broke out in Lucheng City, like a plague, sweeping across the sky and covering the earth.

Lu's mother went to the city to do some shopping, and when she came back from the city, she sighed. Seeing so many innocent people die tragically, she could only hide in the village, not daring to go out.

There was an incubation period of several days before, and when the incubation period passed, the infected people began to have high fever, dizziness, coma and other symptoms.

Li Haitang remembered that in the prescription left by Lin Wanjiu, there were some records about smallpox, but this disease was collectively classified as plague without a specific name.

In the past??? After someone fell ill, the government immediately sent people to arrest the sick person, threw them into a remote village nearby, and sent soldiers to guard them to prevent the sick person from escaping, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The common people did not understand the disease. A few days after the outbreak of the plague, the gates of Lucheng were closed, and the common people complained. Half of the shops on the street were closed. People hid at home, fearing that they would be infected.

"Haitang, what do you think we can do? This is a plague, a plague!"

Zhang Ruyi's voice was full of tears. The plague was getting worse and worse. She had heard that more than ten years ago, after the flood in the south, the plague spread and almost killed a whole city, with dead bodies everywhere.

The government has no way to cure them, they can only mobilize the army to guard them, drive the people into a city, and let them fend for themselves.

The method is too barbaric and cruel, but there is really no way, if the source of infection spreads, the whole Daqi will suffer.

She never expected that Lucheng would suffer such a catastrophe. After the source of infection was discovered, the gates of the city were closed tightly, and the people were helpless, waiting for the plague to spread, and then, to die.
