Shen Ruoyan walked back to the ground.

The moment your feet hit the ground, your heart fell to the ground.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.

Liang Zhengxiu walked quickly to Shen Ruoyan, clasped his hands in his fists, and bowed to Shen Ruoyan very carefully.

"Madam, I thank you on behalf of the people of Daning!" Liang Zhengxiu spoke sincerely.

Shen Ruoyan smiled at Liang Zhengxiu, because she spoke too loudly just now, her voice was a little hoarse, and said: "Master Liang, I am also a member of Daning. I really deserve your courtesy."

Turning around, the streets were empty.

Not far away, there was a squeezed-out cloth shoe lying alone in the dust on the road.

Shen Ruoyan knew and let the people stay in the city.

This is just the first step.

They will face more difficulties next.

"Mrs. Lu, there are risks outside now. I will escort you back home."

Liang Zhengxiu's words made Shen Ruoyan look away, pointed to the carriage parked on the roadside, and politely declined, "You still have a lot to do here, so I won't bother Mr. Liang.

If you need anything, you can send someone to the house to let you know, and I will do my best to help. "

"Mrs. Xie."

Liang Zhengxiu now admired Shen Ruoyan from the bottom of his heart. He personally put the people on the carriage and stood upright. He didn't look back until the carriage was completely gone.

Back home, Shen Ruoyan saw Qin'er's eyes were red.

The little girl lowered her head and silently took out the luggage she had just packed one by one.

"Qin'er." Shen Ruoyan walked over and rubbed her head.

After years of getting along, the two of them have long since surpassed the friendship between master and servant. When Shen Ruoyan looked at Qin'er, her heart felt like a mess. She opened her mouth, but couldn't find a clue.

Just now on the city wall, facing many people, Shen Ruoyan could talk eloquently and analyze various pros and cons to them with reasonable evidence, but now in front of Qin'er, she could not say a word.

The decision I made was a matter of life and death.

An apology seems not enough to express my inner guilt.

"Young Madam, please stop talking." Qin'er saw that Shen Ruoyan was hesitant to speak, so how could she not understand her thoughts, "I understand everything, but I just feel sorry for you. What if you get infected..."

When she thought of the terrible plague, Qin'er couldn't hold it back. Tears fell down her cheeks, and she could no longer say anything else.

She wiped away her tears, glanced at Shen Ruoyan's belly, and said sobbingly: "You still have an unborn baby in your belly. Madam, you must not let anything happen to you."

Shen Ruoyan stroked her belly and sighed silently.

I really had no choice but to make this decision, but things have already happened, and now I can only take one step and see one step at a time.

"You are a girl who is about to be pregnant, why are you still shedding tears?" Shen Ruoyan took out the handkerchief and wiped Qin'er's face clean, "I am not in good health, and I may have to rely on you for a lot of things next. Our little Qin'er must be strong."

Qin'er nodded sheepishly, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, young lady, you wait."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.

Shen Ruoyan smiled helplessly and put back all the things Qin'er hadn't sorted out one by one.

Not long after, Qin'er ran back jumping up and down.

She hung a sachet on Shen Ruoyan's waist and said excitedly: "He Mang gave this to me before he left, saying it has the effect of being immune to all poisons.

Madam, although that guy He Mang is not very reliable, his medical skills are quite good. Just wear it as a pendant to make me feel more at ease. "

Mentioning He Mang, Qin'er's eyes darkened and she muttered, "It would be nice if he were here."

Shen Ruoyan saw Qin'er's friendship for He Mang, but now was not the time to discuss this matter. Shen Ruoyan said to Qin'er: "Go and call all the servants in the mansion. I have something to say to them." .”

Most of the servants in the mansion left, and those who remained were poor homeless people.

Shen Ruoyan explained the current situation to everyone, and finally said: "For the sake of the overall situation, we must stay in the city, please understand."

After hearing this, everyone laughed and said: "Young madam, we don't have anywhere to go. We will go wherever you go."

"It's good to stay. I just dried the quilt yesterday. I thought I wouldn't have a chance to sleep."

"That's right, young lady, I am strong and strong. If you need to go out to buy something, just ask me to go."

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Shen Ruoyan also relaxed.

In the days to come, no one knows what will happen.

What everyone will face is not only the disease, but also possible antagonism between relatives and friends.

In the face of life and death, human nature is often fragile and vulnerable.

Shen Ruoyan took advantage of the good atmosphere and said to everyone: "Since everyone has chosen to stay, then everyone is a member of the Lu family.

I promise that no matter who gets sick in the future, I will not give up on him. I also ask everyone to be considerate of each other, take care of each other, and not give up on anyone.

As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties. "

After everyone heard this, they patted their chests and made promises.

Shen Ruoyan continued with a smile: "Now that there are a lot of vacant rooms in the house, everyone should live separately as much as possible. In the future, we will have to eat separately. If anyone feels uncomfortable, we should inform him immediately and we must not hide it.

Okay, now everyone can choose where they want to live. "

An older man took the initiative and said: "I'm not in good health and I'm afraid I'm more likely to catch plague. I'll clean up and move to the woodshed."

Another young man put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Uncle Zhang, you said you are in poor health, how can you be allowed to live in the woodshed?

You can sleep peacefully in the original house, while Xiaoqian and I move to the woodshed. "

"Hey, why are we even fighting for the woodshed now?" Aunt Wang, who is usually responsible for cooking, said, "I'm telling you, none of you should compete with me for the kitchen.

I plan to build a bed next to the stove and cook for everyone. "

Seeing that everyone had made plans, a half-grown young man said with a mournful face: "You have taken up all the space, so don't I have to sleep in the hut?"

One sentence made everyone laugh, diluting many of the panic caused by the plague.

After settling the servants, Shen Ruoyan asked Qin'er to count how much food was left in the house.

Because Shen Ruoyan was pregnant, everyone tried their best to make more delicious food for Shen Ruoyan, so the house stocked a lot of things, and with most of the people gone, if they saved some food, they could eat most of it. moon.

Shen Ruoyan nodded and assigned a secret guard to guard the warehouse.
