"You heard it just now. It was the village head who asked them to do it. How could anyone dare to neglect it?"

No matter how vicious the old lady's tongue was, she would never say anything bad about the head of the village. In her heart, she felt that the head of the village was still a village official and should not be offended.

This made her a little unsure of how to respond, so she could only say awkwardly, "There is nothing wrong with the village, and I care about everyone, but these people are not very good at doing things."

Outsiders can't say anything, but family members can always say it.

He looked at Jinshui and Xiuli with disdain.

"Stop talking nonsense here, go to where you should go, and stay away from me."

The second son's wife wanted to carry the quilt and sleep with the children.

The old lady noticed her action and cleared her throat with a "hmm".

It’s best for the two granddaughters not to contact family members now. Who knows if they have been infected with the disease? Besides, this disease doesn’t break out all at once. We have to see if they will have a high fever in two or three days.

What if the second son's wife gets close to them and gets infected with the disease, which is usually incurable, and will most likely lead to her death? It is not easy to marry a wife who can give birth to children, and we can't let her be so reckless. She is so grown-up and doesn't know anything.

It doesn’t matter if Jinshui and Xiuli get sick. They are money-losing goods anyway, so they can just die and have peace.

It is particularly difficult to get married these days. If one really dies, what will happen if the second child is left without a wife? If the child dies, one can have another.

The second son's wife heard the old lady clearing her throat, looked back, and found that she was staring at her. She was so scared that she dared not move.

He asked tentatively, "Mom, can I get them a blanket?"

The old lady's eyelids drooped slightly, covering half of her eyes, and she looked at the second son's wife with a scrutinizing attitude.

The other party was in a dilemma as to whether to go or not, so he could only wait there for the old lady to speak.

Seeing that she was so unreasonable, the old lady scolded her in a sarcastic tone.

"You're asking me if I can do it. I think you think your life is too long. No, come back to me quickly. They are strong and won't freeze to death."

The second son's wife looked at the two children, then at the old lady, and had to go back with the quilt.

Jinshui had no choice but to comfort his mother, "It's okay, my sister and I are not afraid of the cold."

The second son's wife felt sorry for her two daughters and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She was rubbing her hands and stamping her feet, but she still said she was not cold. The old lady had such a cruel heart.

Hearing the noise here, his drooping eyelids lifted up again.

"I don't know who you learned this from. Everyone is asleep, but you are still making noise. Don't move. If you make any more noise, you will be in trouble."

Jinshui and Xiuli had no choice but to calm down. Grandma's slapping hand was extremely painful and no one wanted to be slapped.

After a while, the beautiful teeth began to knock against each other rapidly and uncontrollably.

Seeing the old lady lying there, not knowing whether she was asleep or not, I took a great risk and whispered something.

"What do you think we should do?"

Jinshui had already thought of a plan. While they were asleep, he went to sleep in the haystack as he did before.

As long as she doesn't get close to grandma, she doesn't care, even if she is discovered.

Turn your head to the side, covering one side of your mouth.

"Let's go back to where we were before."

Xiu Li nodded.

The old lady saw the two of them whispering, but she couldn't hear what they were saying, so she simply ignored it.

I heard from those people just now that there might be other things happening tomorrow. It’s nothing more than confirming that the two people who died had contracted a disease that can infect humans. It’s relatively safe for me to stay in this place, as long as no one else comes. Anyway, I won’t let Jinshui and Xiuli get close to me.

By the time everyone fell asleep, the two of them were almost numb from the cold.

Jinshui looked around and made sure it was safe, so he took a step forward. He felt like his feet were not his own and almost fell to the ground.

Xiuli held her sister tightly, otherwise such a loud noise would definitely wake up those who were sleeping lightly.

Jinshui covered his chest and took a deep breath, then looked back. The old lady turned over at this time, and the two of them were so scared that they turned around and stood straight, maintaining the same posture for a while.

Seeing that the old lady was still sleeping, they relaxed instantly and left quietly.

I found the haystack and covered myself with a lot of grass. Although it was still cold, I was not frozen to death.

The sky began to brighten. Nier heard the sound of Yuanbao jumping outside the tent. She woke up from her sleep, stretched herself, sat up to wake herself up, and left the tent. The third brother had already prepared breakfast.

It is sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge. It looks delicious. The green wild vegetables are matched with yellow sweet potatoes and cooked in the glutinous porridge. It is really beautiful and delicious. When Nier smelled the aroma, her stomach growled.

I quickly went to the spring to wash up and came back to see that a bowl of porridge had been prepared. I picked it up and it was not hot at all. I blew on it gently and took a sip carefully. It was not hot anymore.

It’s great to have a dad like this. I can drink such porridge early in the morning. It warms my heart and stomach, and the temperature is not too hot. It’s really comfortable.

The third brother didn't eat anything himself. He felt a sour feeling in his heart as he watched Ni'er slurp the porridge from the edge of the bowl.

I couldn’t say what I wanted to say, so I could only watch my daughter finish the porridge and wipe her mouth.

"Dad, I'm leaving."

The third brother didn't dare to look up. He swallowed his tears and then looked at Ni'er.

"Hey, be careful."

Nier smiled, showing a row of white teeth, "Daddy, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

The third child felt very upset when he saw his daughter's vest bouncing around.

It was just daybreak and still a little dark in the woods. Relying on her memory, Nier first went to the house of her uncle who had passed away last night, but sure enough, there was no one there.

The main reason is that there is no protective equipment here, so people dare not move the bodies rashly. If they are infected, the whole village will suffer.

There was no one around early in the morning except Ni'er. Accompanied by a few sad bird calls, she sprinkled medicine powder on the cloth and put on a pair of gloves. She was facing a corpse, but without her master by her side, she felt a little scared.

He first bowed three times to the corpse, then walked forward and took a closer look. Sure enough, the symptoms matched those of the plague in the book, so he was at least 90% sure.

I seemed to hear someone calling me from behind, and it seemed to be the voice of the village head.

I quickly turned around and saw it as expected.

"Grandpa Lizheng, please don't come over here. It's very dangerous here."

"I have protection, but you don't. I'll come over and tell you later."

After checking everything and confirming that everything was correct, he turned around and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, do you have any cloth? It's like the one on my face."

I understood what Ni'er meant and took out a piece of cloth.
