The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 3 The Plague is Coming
"Mother, help me!" The man who was forced to the ground by several officers and soldiers, with a pair of bright black pupils, uttered a helpless cry for help.

The old woman cried out in despair: "God, why didn't you let go of my only son?"

The villagers gathered around and shook their heads helplessly.

The old woman suddenly raised her head, looked at Yu Maimai with red eyes, and then rushed over.

The old woman grabbed hold of her dress, but did not let go, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Yu Maimai's dress was about to be torn off by the old woman, she reached out and grabbed her own dress, and said, "You, what are you doing, I didn't provoke you, why bother to drag me Don't let go of your dress?"

The old woman hurriedly let go, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please, you can rescue your daughter-in-law from the bandit leader, and you must be able to find a way to rescue my son, right? It seems that everyone is one For the sake of the village, I beg you, please save my son."

Yu Maimai couldn't see others crying, let alone seeing others kneeling and begging himself, so he helped the old woman up: "We have all seen what happened to you, but now they say that your son has the plague, I, I Even if it is possible to save him, unless the plague is cured, the villagers are not willing, so many people, if the plague spreads, it will not be the life of one person.”

Plague is not an ordinary disease. Even if she knows a little bit of medical skills, Yu Maimai is just an ordinary village woman. Is there any way to completely cure the plague and prevent the pathogen from spreading? ?

At this moment, an interface appeared in her mind, like an APP, with herbal library on the left and daily use on the right. Yu Maimai was curious: "It's so easy to use, I don't know if there is anything to eat. If so It can temporarily fill the stomachs of the family."

Immediately afterwards, a series of cute children's voices sounded: "Master, don't worry, you can enjoy the things in this daily library, but every time you take out something, the system will give you points. When you accumulate 10000 points, you can come back to get them." , but you can’t just ask for it, every time you take something, you should return it to the system with the same value, otherwise, after the nutritional value is consumed, you won’t be able to get it.”

Yu Maimai sighed: "I thought it was some kind of treasure house. It turns out that it's not a useless thing. It's just a broken thing to entertain people."

"Master, don't be discouraged. It's the first time I miss you. You can get it 5 times for free. Take a look, do you want to get some food for your two grandchildren now?"

Yu Maimai suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in his desperate mood, and said in surprise: "Really? If I get it five times for free, then can I get back the medicinal herbs that can cure the plague? The first thing is to save everyone."

"Master, your chivalrous heart really touched Xiaocang. Okay, I will help you out with some medicinal materials and food. These foods are enough for your family to use for a while. As for this medicinal material, it must be boiled well. You must not waste it, but how to convince everyone that your medicinal materials are effective, and whether the officers and soldiers will cooperate with you, depends on the master's ingenuity."

Without even saying thank you, Yu Maimai left with some food and medicinal materials.

Ning is an obedient daughter-in-law.

Yu Maimai called Ning over: "I asked someone to buy this food from the market. You have to keep it well. When I'm not around for a while, you can take care of the two children, you know?"

Ning looked at the food that Yu Maimai handed over, and her eyes widened: "Mother, there is a famine in the wilderness now, where did you get so much food?"

Yu Maimai is a straightforward person, and he didn't want to explain too much, so he glanced at Ning and said, "Hurry up, tear off a piece of clothes, and protect your mouth and nose, the plague is probably spreading quickly, so hurry up and protect the two children." Mouth and nose, must not be infected, go quickly."

Ning didn't dare to say more, so she just nodded and left.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "It's not good, someone has the plague, there will be more than a dozen, all of them!"

Amid the yelling of everyone, several officers and soldiers rushed here immediately. They covered their mouths and noses, pointed at the sick patients and said, "Come here, pull them outside and prepare to burn them."

The crowd erupted, and an old man patted his thigh and yelled: "God damn the imperial court, so many people are suffering from the plague, not only do they not want to cure them, but they also want to pull the sick people out and burn them. This keeps our common people alive." dead?"

The family members who caught the plague first rioted. They picked up kitchen knives and rushed towards the officers and soldiers: "You beasts, not only do you not treat the plague, but you even pull it out and burn it. Are you still human?"

An old woman rushed over and pressed on her son: "You bastards, my son, I don't allow you to touch my son, otherwise, I, my old woman, have lived enough, so I will fight with you. "

The officers and soldiers acted according to orders, and of course they would not stop because of one or two rioters. A few officers and soldiers stepped forward and whipped the old lady away: "You old man, you don't want you If your son dies, so many people here will die because of your son?"

The old lady is so skinny that she only has a handful of bones left, and she hasn't eaten for a few days. How can she have the strength to fight against these officers and soldiers? She kicked her foot on a stone, and now her forehead is broken, and there are gurgling bruises. blood.

Look again, over there, a little girl, about five or six years old, stepped forward, hugged the thighs of the officers and soldiers, and cried loudly: "Don't touch my mother, you scoundrels!"

But how could the little girl be an opponent of the officers and soldiers, several officers and soldiers rushed forward, about to drag the woman lying on the ground away.

Looking at the things in front of him, Yu Maimai couldn't help but cursed: "What kind of world is this? How can these officers and soldiers be so unruly? Why are they dragged out and burned to death when they get the plague? Could it be that everyone here If you get the plague, will you be burned to death? No, I have to ask this officer and soldier to find out!"

"Stop! You officers and soldiers, why don't you think about it, the current plague is spreading, even if you burn the people who have been infected with the plague, if you can't find the source, then you are still the same If you are infected, will you also be dragged to be burned to death at that time?"

The officer and soldier looked at Yu Maimai in front of him, and said with disdain: "You are a village woman, what do you know, let me tell you, if you dare to stop me from waiting for an office job, are you not afraid of being arrested by the chief and questioned?"

"Okay, come on, if you have the ability, bring this old lady to your chief!"
