The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

"It's OK if you're fine. If you have any problem, call us over."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the hidden dried meat did not reveal any clues.

"It's so safe here. There are always yamen runners passing by. You can rest assured."

Zhao Jincheng thought that after saying this, they might not pay too much attention to this side in the future and could eat meat without worry.

Although those people had walked quite far away, their conversation still reached my ears.

"Do you smell anything?"

"No."

"I seem to smell a scent of meat, but it's vague and I can't smell it when I smell it carefully."

"Now that you mention it, I seem to have smelled it, too. Just now when I was closer to Doctor Zhao, it seemed to be coming from him."

"But I really didn't smell anything. How could there be meat in this place? And Doctor Zhao just went there with us to get the food. We all eat the same food."

"Yes, I made a special observation, thinking that since he was a doctor after all, the county magistrate would give them better food. They were all given exactly the same food, and even the dry food was only given to him."

"Maybe I smelled it wrong. Maybe I was just craving meat too much."

"Doctor Zhao is a very particular person. He might have that thing on him that rich people use called... incense. It's so that you might smell the wrong smell and give off a meaty smell."

"It could also be the smell of medicinal herbs."

"Oh, very likely for that."

"The ingredients for the braised meat are all medicinal herbs, so it's easy to misjudge them."

"I'm really craving for meat."

Zhao Jincheng chewed some dry food and listened to their conversation which became increasingly quiet. He felt relieved. He had to be more careful when eating meat next time. It would be bad if someone saw him.

If it is cold in winter, you can eat and drink in the tent. But in summer, it is so hot that you can't stay in the tent. If you eat outside, you will sweat and have difficulty breathing.

Ni'er took out another piece of dried meat and handed it to the master. Zhao Jincheng thought about it and decided not to take it, leaving it for his little apprentice to eat slowly.

Pushing Ni'er's hand, "No, you've eaten enough. Take it back quickly and don't let others see it."

The two pushed and pulled each other back and forth several times, and Nier forced the jerky into the other's hand.

"Here, eat a piece of jerky to calm your nerves."

The master and the disciple sneaked around like thieves, back to back, looking left and right. If someone came over, they would remind each other and quickly pick up the dry food to eat so that others would not notice anything.

It was a very exciting meal.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Zhao Jincheng's forehead. After he finished drinking the porridge, they turned into large beads of sweat that kept flowing down. He didn't have time to wipe them off, and they flowed into his eyes. His eyes felt stinging and he couldn't open them. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, pressed it on his forehead, and finally he was able to open his eyes.

Finally finished eating, I have never had such an exciting meal.

The two smiled at each other.

"Master, do you think there will be more patients sent here today?"

Zhao Jincheng looked up into the distance. The sun had already set and the sky had changed from warm orange to cool blue-purple.

"I hope not. Then I can get a good night's sleep."

"Well, I hope so."

The temperature gradually dropped. It was no longer as hot and humid as when the sun was out. There was a hint of coolness in the air, and it seemed that breathing was easier.

Nier stared at the sky, thinking that her parents and brother should have arrived here as well, and might have already eaten dinner, and were looking at the stars in the sky that were gradually becoming brighter, just like her.

Sure enough, the third brother, Yan Zi and Niu Li had already had dinner.

Usually Niu Li would practice the characters on the copybook. When he was in the mountains a few days ago, he would use a wooden stick to scratch on the ground whenever he had free time.

It’s just that there are too many people here, and I don’t want them to see that I can write, otherwise there will be a lot of people talking about me. I’m waiting to go home, close the door, and write whatever I want.

The most important thing is not to let grandma and the others know, otherwise they will definitely cause trouble.

Niu Li sat on the ground, supporting his body with his hands and looking up at the sky.

"Mom, when do you think the water will recede? I want to go home."

"I don't know either. That's our house. Wherever my father and mother are, that's home."

"Yeah, that's right."

After saying that, he yawned. He was indeed a little tired after moving things and taking a boat ride today.

Just lie down on the ground, close your eyes, and prepare to rest for a while.

Just as they were about to fall asleep, a quarrel broke out among the crowd.

Wake up instantly and open your eyes wide.

"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me that your child had a fever?"

"It's not an epidemic, why are you talking about it?"

"You are a doctor, how do you know it is not an epidemic? If it is an epidemic, you would have delayed the treatment. You are as stupid as a pig."

"I don't want my children to go to a place where there are either people with the disease or people who have been in contact with people with the disease. It's too dangerous, woo woo."

"Then everyone is in danger if he is here."

"He's really not a plague."

"Whether it is or not, it's not up to you to decide. You have to ask the doctor to come."

"No, I won't let him go. If it weren't for the epidemic, I'm afraid he would never come back after he goes there."

Normally, when something like this happens, everyone would gather around to watch, and it would be hard to squeeze in. But now, everyone wanted to get away from there as far as possible.

The crowd came like bullets, but I would have felt itchy if I didn't join in the fun. Fortunately, they were arguing quite loudly, so I stopped at the farthest distance where I could hear the noise.

"Why are their family members like that? If I were the county magistrate, I would have to put them all in jail."

"That's right. She didn't tell me that the child was sick and insisted that it wasn't an epidemic. She could tell what it was."

"I really want to scratch her face now. Doesn't this mean that we are buried together?"

"Hey, don't talk about us. Don't talk about such unlucky things."

"Yes, yes, why haven't the bailiffs come yet?"

As he spoke, he saw two yamen runners coming over and trying to take the child away.

But his mother refused to agree, "My poor son, you can't take him away, I don't agree."

"You have to let the doctor take a look first, and you need to observe. If you are healthy, then everyone is happy and the person will be sent back to you. If you are really infected with the disease, you must stay there and take medicine until you recover."

"No, it's too dangerous over there. You'll get sick even if you're not sick."

"Even if it's not an epidemic, he still has to take medicine because he has a fever. Aren't you afraid that his brain will be damaged?"

"This……"

The child's mother hesitated a little. She thought that his brain would be damaged and he would become stupid, and she would not be able to support him for the rest of his life.

After much hesitation, he finally agreed to the bailiff's opinion and took the child to see a doctor.

"Can I go with him? I can take care of him."

"The child has been with me these days. If he really gets the disease, then there is a high chance that I will be too."
