"It's all done."

Ni'er directly put a big box into the hands of the yamen runner.

"One pill per person, no more."

"Okay, I'll send it to them right away."

The bailiff quickly left with the box in his arms.

Soon two people infected with the disease were brought over.

Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er busying herself there and thought it would be no problem for him to go and see the patients himself. He didn't want his little apprentice to run around and waste time.

"You work here, I'll go over there and be back soon."

Now she wished she could tear a person into eight pieces. Ni'er watched her master carrying the medicine box and walking quickly over there without even turning his head. She couldn't help but sigh.

Didn't I say I would find someone to help? They haven't come yet. We're short of manpower and we're so busy here that smoke is coming out. Yesterday I could take a break to catch my breath, but today it's completely impossible. I have to keep stepping on the millstone with my feet while my hands are busy with other work. How can I not have three heads and six arms?

Come to think of it, it should be difficult to find help, and no one wants to come here and risk their life.

Master has just taken the pill, but he is still a little worried. He needs to prepare a few more handkerchiefs with medicine powder. He cannot let Master get infected with the disease.

Suddenly I felt my ears getting a little hot. I didn't know who was thinking about me at this moment, was it my mother, my father, or Niu Li? The thought flashed through my mind, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it. I still had to work hard, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish the work until dark.

The old lady was lying there, thinking happily that Niu Xiaoni would never come back, and was thinking about how to take their family's money and things for herself.

Suddenly I remembered that my eldest brother had damaged their house, and I felt a little regretful. If it hadn't been damaged, could we have moved in later, with such a big yard, a bright house, and a toilet?

He turned his head and glared at the boss fiercely.

The eldest son had his back turned and did not see anything, but he felt a little cool from behind, which was very strange. How could it be cold in such hot weather? He turned his head and met the old lady's gaze. There was some disgust and disdain in his eyes. He suspected that he had seen it wrongly. He did not do anything just now, so why did his mother suddenly look at him like this?

I rubbed my eyes and my expression seemed to be back to normal. What happened to me recently? Are my eyes damaged? This shouldn't be the case. I'm still young.

I heard someone shouting over there, "One pill per person, no need to fight, everyone has one."

When the old lady heard that something was being distributed, she stretched her neck and looked over there. Suddenly, a lot of people gathered over. She was wondering what the good stuff could be. She was really excited.

"Everyone line up, stay away from others, don't get so close."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly dispersed.

We are not used to living in an empty house, and we looked at the people around us with trepidation. Although they look normal now, they might have a high fever and be taken away in a while.

Do not get infected with the disease. Although life is difficult, no one wants to die so soon. Many people cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves. Because they do not have handkerchiefs, they cannot follow the yamen runners and tie them on their faces. Using their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses is a bit of comfort.

A row of people tilted their heads, trying to see what he was posting.

It looks like a pill, black and so small. What use can it have? I don't know what it is for.

The old lady hurriedly called out to her family, "Go quickly, go quickly, before it disappears in a moment, it must be a good thing."

The eldest brother was a little impatient. The yamen runners had said that there was one for each person. How could there be no more when it came to him? That was impossible. How could they not know how many people there were?

Why do you have to line up so early? It's so tiring to stand there. Besides, there are too many people over there, so it's quite dangerous. Just wait a while when there are fewer people. Mom is urging you all the time. What's the point of urging you? It would be better if you could just close your ears.

The old lady was very unhappy when she saw that the eldest son did not move. She thought that she had done it for his own good, but had wasted so much time and energy. What would she do if the thing was really gone in a while?

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t get it. I want it very much. It must be a good thing, otherwise why would only one person get one, and it looks so small.

"Second brother, go ahead and line up and get one for mom."

The second son didn't really want to go either, but the eldest brother hadn't moved yet, which meant he wasn't going. He thought that if he went to queue up, his mother would remember his kindness in the future, so he made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll get it, Mom, please wait a moment."

The line was very long and it took a long time to get to the end of it. Actually, there was no need to queue now, mainly because there were only a few people left sitting there doing nothing.

When the old lady saw him queuing up, she felt relieved. She turned her head and saw the eldest brother, and the more she looked at him, the more she disliked him.

"This pill can strengthen your body and make you less likely to get sick. But you can't take too much. Each person can only take one."

As soon as the yamen runner said this, the eyes of those who heard it lit up. How could such a good thing come to them? Shouldn't it be something that only rich people can eat?

People in the queue have to chat even if they cover their mouths, otherwise they will feel suffocated.

"My life is worth it. I can actually eat such delicious food."

"Oh, you can't say that. Don't be too confident about whether it's worth it or not."

"Look at my mouth."

“I don’t know which kind-hearted person came up with this idea.”

"Who else could it be?"

The yamen runner heard everyone's conversation and explained, "Doctor Zhao asked the county magistrate for permission, and the county magistrate agreed to let Doctor Zhao and his apprentice make this, hoping that everyone can survive this time. After all, we have all survived the flood, and those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

"It's said that if you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

"Doctor Zhao is really kind-hearted. It's not easy to find medicinal herbs these days."

"But, he actually has an apprentice. I don't know who he is and whether he can learn his skills."

"How could the disciple chosen by Doctor Zhao be wrong? His vision is not better than yours."

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

"I worked hard to get this pill. If you say that, don't take it."

"Hey, I eat it, of course I eat it, I just said it casually."

"Aren't you curious about who it is?"

"It's neither you nor me."

The second brother saw the line getting shorter and shorter, and calculated how long it would take for him to reach his position. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone coming from the side and standing behind him.

But this guy looks very familiar. Did he just get the pills? Why is he queuing up again?

The second brother turned his head and glanced at him. The other party did not flinch and made direct eye contact with him, "What are you looking at?"
