Chapter 498 Return to Yancheng

Chapter 498 Return to Yancheng

"Brother Shen?"

Chi Sheng was startled, with surprise on his face.

Wang Jingzhi was even more pleasantly surprised. Looking at Shen Wenchen, who was weak but alive in front of him, his eyes were red with excitement.

"Brother Shen! You finally woke up!"

When Shen Wenchen woke up, everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

The incident happened because of the talented people in the village. Now that they are fine, they feel less guilty.

"Zhiyu, how did you and Xiaomi escape?"

The group of people sat around the stove. Shen Wenchen looked at his son, who was now taller, with loving eyes.

He hasn't been back for a long time, and Zhiyu has grown taller again. I wonder how Nannan is doing now.

"I missed my father, so I came."

Zhiyu gnawed on the big bone in his hand, with oil stains on his face.

"What happened in the city?"

Shen Wenchen raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to rub his son's head.

How could he not know what his son was like?

Most importantly, listening to Nanzhi's words, if something hadn't happened in the city, why would he run out and risk making Nannan angry?

And this was when Nannan was pregnant with Liujia.

Shen Zhiyu didn't say anything, but his head hung down and the movements of his mouth stopped.

"General, there is also a rat plague in the city. It rained heavily for several days in the past few days. Many children in the city have developed high fever, and those in poor health have also suffered from wind and cold. Now some places in the city are experiencing a plague. After suffering from tuberculosis, those rats seemed to have become sperm. They came out when there were few people. They either stole food or chewed up pillars. The only better thing is that there are relatively few cases of rats hurting people in the city now, but it should be It’s also fast...

Madam opened the warehouse and distributed five-poison powder, but the effect was not very great. There were not enough manpower left in the city. Everyone took turns patrolling the city to eliminate rats, and few of the men in those families were willing to come out and take action. She is very weak, and the medical clinics in the city are almost out of medicine. My wife has been busy with things in the city and has not been able to rest all day long, and she is already suffering from blue blood. "

Xiaomi's bamboo tube revealed everything that had happened in the past few days.

When she thought of Wenwen's body, Xiaomi felt the tip of her nose was a little sore.

Shen Wenchen was silent, not only him, but also everyone else.

Something like this happened in Yancheng.

"Brother Chi, could you please send someone to bring the horse over for me? I will go back to Yancheng in a moment."

"Brother Shen, your current body..."

Halfway through his words, Wang Jingzhi also thought of his wife at home.

The situation in Yancheng is already like this. What about my wife?

Her body is inherently inferior to others.

Could it be that I also caught the wind and cold?

"Second brother, go and pack some medicine. Brother Shen and I will go back to Yancheng in a while."

Chi Sheng thought for a while, then turned to look at the second master beside him.

He can take a few brothers to Yancheng to help, but the second child must not go.

First, the people in the village have not yet recovered, and second, there is not enough medicine in Yancheng.

Nowadays, the mountain forests are almost dead. If you want medicinal materials, you have to try your luck in the mountains.

He had to stay and prepare.

"good."

The second master nodded, understanding what his eldest brother meant, but looking at Mingqin and Yuanbao beside him, he also sighed inwardly.

As a result, their family will be separated again.

"I'll help my second uncle prepare!"

Yuan Bao jumped off the stool and ran out the door.

Seeing her action, the second master's eyelids twitched. He knew that he would definitely have fewer treasures, so he could only say hello and go out to chase her.

Those treasures of his are all precious!

Even in the old days when the mountains and forests were beautiful, he had to work hard to get those points.

Not to mention the forest, even the grass is no longer growing. These medicinal materials are his last possessions.

"Qin'er, you and Yuanbao just stay in the village and wait for me to come back."

Chi Sheng held Mingqin's hand and ordered.

Mingqin didn't say anything, just put her other hand on the back of his hand.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound from the fire, and everyone seemed to have come to their senses.

"It'll be okay."

Someone in the crowd suddenly said this.

It's like telling others, but also like comforting yourself.

In one village, it took them two full months to deal with it.

What about that city?

How long will it take them to clean it up?

no one knows.

Rats bring not only disasters but also diseases.

Now they still have some food, but what about in the future?

The land is dead, they have no food, no medicinal materials, and even no intact bodies.

Why would God be so cruel to them?

Shen Yuntian went all the way north and finally stopped on a river twenty miles away from Yancheng.

"Mr. Shen, the river is frozen to death, and our boat really can't move."

The boatman wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly.

Master Xu said that he had a good business deal for him, and he was given twenty taels of silver. He just thought it was a delivery, but it turned out that it was freezing cold, and he had to walk more than a thousand miles!

Even if he had to travel more than a thousand miles, his ship was still a small cargo ship and he couldn't break the ice by himself. He had to find ways to deal with the icy rivers he encountered along the way.

Even though everyone is busy, how can he, an out-and-out Ejiang native, stand the cold here?

If he doesn't go back, he's afraid he'll catch the cold and die here.

You have your life to make money but not your life to spend it. When the time comes, it will still be your wife and children who will be pitiful.

"Then stop at the edge, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Yuntian looked at the depressed scene on the shore, pointed in the direction and said.

"Hey, okay, okay."

The boatman quickly agreed, wiped off his sweat, and stopped the boat.

Xu Tianci asked a total of four people to follow Shen Yuntian northward.

They brought two boxes of medicinal materials and twenty bags of grain, which together weighed a thousand kilograms.

Most of it was given by Xu Tianci, and the rest was scraped together by the Shen family.

They guessed that there was a shortage of food in Yancheng. Fortunately, Ejiang was a food production area, and with Xu Tianci's help, they managed to collect 800 kilograms of food.

The waterway is impassable now, and they don't know how to transport the food back to the city.

As soon as he stepped on the shore, Shen Yuntian felt that everything was like a dream.

He searched all the way and finally found his family. After a few months, he came back again.

I just don’t know what Hexiu is doing now...

Miss Zeng was drinking hot tea when she saw He Xiu across from him suddenly stopped talking, and she was a little confused for a moment.

"Hexiu, what's wrong with you? Is it possible that you are sick?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Hexiu's forehead. She frowned again when she didn't feel anything unusual.

"It's not hot...what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay."

He Xiu shook his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand in trance again.
