Shen Ruoyan thought that the reason why no one in her family got sick was because they took good preventive measures.

But now that I think about it, could it be because all of them didn't eat food from Zhoucheng?

Shen Ruoyan pointed to the sweet potato in Liang Zhengxiu's hand and asked, "Master Liang, didn't you buy these things in the city?"

"Mrs. Lu, how do you know?" Liang Zhengxiu was obviously taken aback and looked at Shen Ruoyan in surprise, then continued to explain, "Didn't you suggest that I collect all the food in the city and distribute it uniformly?

I immediately asked someone to do it, but after receiving the figures reported from below, I made a hasty calculation and found that the food in the city would not last long at all.

At that time, I didn't know when I would be rescued. I just thought that people were getting sick everywhere in the city every day. The string in everyone's mind was already too tight. If there was no food, the people would definitely get into trouble.

So I asked people to contact farmers near Zhoucheng to see if I could buy some grain from them.

But you also know that since we learned that there is a plague here, no one dares to come close. Finally, we found a few brave people and realized that although it is the autumn harvest season recently, after the rice in the fields is harvested, it still needs to be threshed. After a series of steps such as cooking, drying and drying, it was impossible to buy enough rice to satisfy so many people in the city.

Later, I finally managed to get a batch of sweet potatoes from nearby farmers, and I took the lead in letting everyone in the government eat sweet potatoes, leaving the rice for the common people. "

After listening to Liang Zhengxiu's narration, Shen Ruoyan admired all the officers and soldiers in the government office even more.

Although he said it lightly, in an environment where plague is everywhere, a person who can chew sweet potatoes and run for the people at the same time is really worthy of admiration.

At the same time, Shen Ruoyan was more certain of her previous guess.

There may be something wrong with the food in the city!

Liang Zhengxiu raised the sweet potato in his hand and continued: "But now it's good, Mr. Lu is back, and he will definitely help us solve the big problem of food shortage.

I can't eat this sweet potato for more than a few days. "

Talking about Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan also curled up her lips, "Mr. Liang, have you ever thought that maybe it's because you eat ingredients purchased from outside that you don't get sick?"

As Shen Ruoyan spoke, she also told what happened in her house.

After hearing this, Liang Zhengxiu slapped his thigh with excitement, "So Mrs. Lu, are you saying that this disease may be related to the food in the city?"

After saying that, he didn't care about the half-bitten sweet potato.

Putting the sweet potatoes on the table, Liang Zhengxiu took out a map of Zhoucheng from the shelf on the side and muttered: "This is the rice noodle shop that got sick first."

As he spoke, Liang Zhengxiu picked up the brush and put a small black dot on the map.

"Let me think about it, there seems to be a family here, all infected with the disease, and here..." Liang Zhengxiu has been leading people on the front line these days, and he is very familiar with where the plague is in the city.

Based on memory, all the sick families in the city were quickly marked on the map.

Shen Ruoyan took a closer look and saw that the small dots distributed on the map seemed to have no pattern. However, after careful analysis, it was because there was no pattern that it seemed even more strange.

"Master Liang, you see, this is the rice noodle shop where the disease first started, but the dots around it are not denser than elsewhere." Shen Ruoyan pointed to the map and expressed her opinion, "In other words, the sick neighbors around him No more than elsewhere.

In these places, the small dots are also very scattered, and there is no sense of concentrated outbreak. "

"Yes, if this disease is going to be transmitted to others, these small spots should be more concentrated." Liang Zhengxiu nodded in agreement.

The reason why the plague is terrible is that it can be transmitted to others, but the disease seems to be only transmitted within the family and not to the neighbors living around it.

"The whole family was infected because they ate the same food." Seeing Liang Zhengxiu's confusion, Shen Ruoyan explained, "That's why I wondered if it might be because of a certain kind of food that caused so many infections." Someone is sick?"

Shen Ruoyan's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, but in the end, this was just her guess.

Even Shen Ruoyan herself had no confidence in this idea.

The two were silent for a while, and the dancing candlelight hit them, making their shadows longer.

Suddenly Liang Zhengxiu said: "Mrs. Lu, I have a way, which may be able to confirm your guess from the side."

Under the candlelight, Liang Zhengxiu's eyes were bright.

"Really?" After hearing Liang Zhengxiu's words, Shen Ruoyan suddenly became excited.

Liang Zhengxiu nodded and said: "So many people broke into your house today, everyone gathered together, and several of them were infected.

If the number of people infected does not increase explosively in the next few days, then we can judge that the disease may not really be transmitted through the mouth and nose. "

Shen Ruoyan can figure it out with just a few clicks.

If it can be proven that the disease is not transmitted to others through breathing, then everyone's panic will naturally be reduced.

Unexpectedly, this break-in turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Liang Zhengxiu was impatient. Once he saw a glimmer of hope, he immediately stopped caring about eating and walked out quickly, "Mrs. Lu, I'm going to ask someone to arrange this. Go back and have a good rest."

Looking at Liang Zhengxiu's furious back and the small half sweet potato on the table, Shen Ruoyan smiled helplessly.

That night, Shen Ruoyan thought that after so many things happened and the environment was changed, she would not be able to sleep well, but she didn't expect that she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

A dreamless night, sleeping peacefully until dawn.

When I opened my eyes, I heard the gentle chirping of morning birds in the distance outside the house.

The morning sun shines through the window and spreads lightly on the ground.

Perhaps it was because the gloom that was weighing on her heart gradually dissipated. Shen Ruoyan always felt that the weather today was particularly good. Even the cool autumn wind became extremely gentle, and she felt an indescribable joy when it blew on her body.

What she didn't know was that the city gate, which had been closed for 21 days, was reopening.

As the thousand-jin gate slowly rose, the huge city gate made a creaking sound.

Outside the city gate, stood a group of doctors carrying medicine boxes and wearing veils.

Some of them have gray hair, some are in their prime, but one thing they have in common is that they all have firm eyes.

Behind these people were piles of food and medicinal materials.

There were no warm cheers or fierce applause. This group of warriors, who had asked for orders to come to Zhoucheng regardless of life and death, quietly walked into the city.

Step into the light of morning and face the unknown difficulties.
