"Yes, we are nosy too, love as much as we like..."

Meng Shaode jumped up angrily, pushed aside the crowd, and pulled Ah Jiu:

"Whoever loves you will die. My daughter, let's go back. These desperadoes are really not worth the trouble we have in the middle of the night."

Ah Jiu was a little resistant to Dad holding his hand at first, but when he saw the discussion among a group of wandering villagers, his heart dropped.

What they were talking about was that even if it was a febrile disease, the superiors would send a doctor to treat it. If they really had enough meat and wouldn't die immediately, they could just wait for the court to send someone to save them.

This thought was so terrifying that the back of Ah Jiu's neck felt cold.

Ah Jiu didn't sleep at all that night. War? Drought? Plague? These three natural and man-made disasters finally confused people's hearts.

I don’t know how heartbroken King Nanming would be if he knew that the people he worked so hard to save had such thoughts.

In the next room, Cai Lihua let out a shallow sob: "Let's just eat fox meat, Lao Meng, I won't be picky anymore."

"Okay, don't cry anymore. You are picky for our daughter's sake. Fox meat is very fishy. From now on, I will run farther away and see if I can hunt as many pheasants as possible."

Meng Shaode comforted the woman with a heavy heart.

Just before dawn in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

"I, Jiu'er." What they said floated out along the window lattice, and Ah Jiu heard it clearly.

When the door opened, Cai Lihua quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Mom, I've thought about it better and don't let dad go hunting in the mountains. I'm worried that the animals will be indirectly infected if they eat the meat."

As soon as Ajiu said these words, Meng Shaode took a breath.

He didn't expect this: "Then what are we going to eat? The wheat has just broken through the ground now. If you want to have a harvest, you have to plant it next year."

Ah Jiu whispered in the ears of her father and mother.

"Hey, really?"

The couple's eyes suddenly lit up.

Meng Shaode smiled from ear to ear: "Then just listen to my daughter."

"Well, okay, then tomorrow night." Cai Lihua saw hope.

Having said this, Meng Shaode asked suspiciously: "What about Uncle Niu?"

At the beginning, we agreed to wait until Uncle Niu came back, thank him in person for taking him in, and return the old Niu and the house to Zhao intact.

Ah Jiu lowered her eyes suddenly. She couldn't go anywhere in Yizhuang, but she found the patients there, and there was no Grandpa Niu among the people still alive.

But she couldn't guarantee that there were no mass graves.

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu pursed her lips and said, "I'll write a letter to Tuoba Yan tomorrow and ask my sister-in-law to check the death register."

This is the only way. If it is found out, this house will no longer have an owner, and neither will Lao Niu.

As he said this, it was daybreak.

Cai Lihua threw the remaining handful of rice into the pot to make porridge. This was saved over and over again, because she was afraid that her daughter would have nothing to eat when she came back.

"I'll go up the mountain and chop some firewood." Meng Shaode took Niu's machete and went out.

Mao Junlan also heard about this and was so frightened that she could not speak: "The last time I saw Mr. Qian, people with this kind of disease are so scary."

"What are you afraid of?" Cai Lihua hummed while stirring the bottom of the pot: "Jiu'er already said that if you don't eat the dead human flesh, you won't be infected. We won't eat it. Those villagers will eat it whoever likes it."

"But Jiu'er girl can treat such a disease, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken to Nanzhou County. Then wouldn't it still have to be treated by Jiuer girl?"

"This time, we won't let Jiu'er be treated. It's not like they don't know they will die, and they still want to die. It's like trying to save someone who wants to die. Isn't that delaying the good thing of someone else's reincarnation? It's such a sin.

I won't let Jiu'er take care of the matter."

Cai Lihua is sharp-tongued and she dislikes people who don't know what is good or bad.

Ah Jiu heard the sound of horse hooves in the yard.

I opened the gate of the courtyard and walked out along the alley. Sure enough, Tuoba Yan and Zhao Kun arrived with five or six people.

"Sister Jiu'er, where's Uncle Meng? He's quite familiar with this mountain range, so we need him to take us to find it." Tuoba Yan looked more confident this time, and he obviously had a different badge on his waist.

Ah Jiu looked at Tuoba Yan with lingering fear. Going up the mountain to find meat might not be the most important thing right now.
