Dressed as a villain's wife

The 28th of the first month.

The mice in Yancheng began to move.

As soon as the people took a breather from the high fever of the children, the rats started a new attack.

Unlike in the villages outside the city, they have no scruples anymore, they just shuttle around in groups, biting anyone they see, wishing to eat everyone in Yancheng clean.

It was simply informed in advance by the yamen servants, and with the addition of the five-poison powder distributed in the warehouse, the number of people bitten by rats in Yancheng was not too many at that time.

"Ma'am, I have already been to the north side of the city. There are still many mice hiding in the He family's mansion. I'm afraid it's just like what Xiaomi said, the leader of them is inside."

Liu Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling exhausted and exhausted.

There were not many brothers left in Yancheng, and it was very difficult for the people in the city to mobilize to eradicate rats. Now it has been three days, and there are only 50 people who are willing to help with them.

But now there are 16 people living in Yancheng.

Even if they are cattle, it is impossible for them to catch mice twelve hours a day.

A brother said to try to catch a few cats, but when the black cat saw those mice, it blew up, not to mention catching mice, and dared not even touch them.

They were almost exhausted in the past few days, but those mice seemed to be planning some big event, as soon as they heard the sound of their horseshoes, they immediately ran away without any hesitation.

Yancheng is so big that if they don't ride horses, they may not be able to reach the house when the house is eaten up by mice.

Finally, an old man took off the notice saying that it could repel rats, but when he took it to He's house today, the man almost peed his pants in fright.

Although I didn't see any white-haired mice, those mice of different sizes were enough to explain everything.

"Anyone else reveal the list?"

Nanzhi looked very tired, the double pressure of body and spirit made her mentality collapse a bit.

"No."

Liu Jie shook his head.

He knew that Madam was under a lot of pressure now, but there was no news about Brother Shen after he left, and Madam is pregnant now, so he should have told her less about these things.

"These rats are not ordinary things, you must be careful not to be bitten by them, if you are accidentally injured, go to Jihetang immediately, and there is also a problem with the smell they emit, so don't be careless.

The corpses should be burned in a concentrated manner and cannot be missed. "

"Yes."

Looking at his dusty appearance, Nan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

After Liu Jie left, Nan Zhi gently stroked her swollen belly to make the child in her stomach behave.

My heart drifted away.

What should she do?

If there is really a plague, how can she save the people of Yancheng?

She has no "participants".

She asked Liu Jie to take the last four pieces and throw them into the four largest wells in the city.

Facts proved that her guess was right, what Xiao He gave herself was nothing special, the children who hadn't improved for a long time drank the herbs decocted in that well water and their fevers all subsided.

But even so, many people in the city did not survive.

If you do it again, you really have nothing to do.

Xiao He is missing, and she can't expect him to come out to help in everything.

She annoyed herself countless times why she couldn't learn more.

In this way, she can save the people just like Su Tao and the others.

Nan Zhi thought about it, and suddenly seemed to have opened his mind.

That's right, she can't, but Su Tao can!

Her space bracelet is a rare treasure, and with her system, it must be possible if she thinks of a way!
But she is not in Yancheng, but in Kyoto...

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Seeing his mother in a daze, Shen Zhiyu only carefully tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"No, nothing."

"Mother, isn't father back yet?"

There was some doubt in Shen Zhiyu's eyes.

Since he was ill last time, he has lost some weight, and now he looks small, as if any gust of wind could blow him away.

Worried that he would go out again, Lin's father and Lin's mother have been watching closely these days to prevent him and Xiaomi from going out.

Shen Zhiyu didn't see Ah Dai coming back, so Shen Zhiyu ran to find Nan Zhi.

"almost."

Afraid that the little guy would be worried, Nan Zhi just rubbed his head and didn't tell the truth.

"Aniang, are you okay? Do you want to go back to the house and have a rest?"

Shen Zhiyu saw that her mother's complexion was a little pale, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Auntie is fine."

Nan Zhi shook his head, but the bruises under his eyes were particularly conspicuous against his fair skin.

"Don't worry, Auntie, uncles, me and brother Xiaomi, we will protect you."

The little guy patted his chest and said confidently.

Dad taught me that!
Although it's not that powerful yet, I can already jump onto the wall in one fell swoop!
He is small, runs fast, and will not be caught by mice.

"Zhiyu should eat well and grow up quickly."

A gleam of relief flashed in Nanzhi's eyes, but she had too much stuff in her heart, and she couldn't say a few more words to Zhiyu.

Seeing that she was always present, Shen Zhiyu pursed her lips, and had another idea in her heart.

The uncles all went outside to help strangle the mice, and grandpa and grandma also rummaged around in the yard every day, afraid that they might miss a mouse.

He also wanted to help.

Sanwei Juli Xu Chou and Uncle Ping took Anwazi to guard the cellar in turn.

A few mice had sneaked in from nowhere in the past two days. If An Wazi hadn't gotten up at night to find out, the grain in the cellar and warehouse would have been cleaned up.

The grain in the cellar now might be life-saving in the future, so they had to protect it no matter what.

Linglong and the girls in the small courtyard next door were afraid to go out all day, for fear of meeting mice.

"Squeak-cheep-cheep-"

There was a rustling sound, followed by the squeaking of mice.

After hearing that voice, Anwazi felt goosebumps all over her body suddenly, and her eyelids, which felt a little heavy just now, opened suddenly.

This is the third time today.

These rats are very smart, unlike other households, the first task of these rats is not to attack them, but to find ways to get into the cellar.

Their target is the food, vegetables and fruits in the cellar.

When Shen Zhiyu found Xiaomi, he seemed to be discouraged, sitting there absent-mindedly, as if he had lost his soul.

"Brother Xiaomi, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Zhiyu waved his hand in front of him, trying to help him get his soul back.

"Wenwen is gone."

Xiaomi's voice was a little hoarse, and his mood became even more depressed.

"how come?"

Shen Zhiyu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

They also saw Sister Wenwen the day before yesterday.

Her fever has obviously gone away, how could this happen?
When Xiaomi thought of the scene he went to see today, he felt a little colic in his heart.

He made an appointment with Wenwen yesterday and went to see her today.

But this morning when I was happy to go there, I saw the courtyard door of their house was open, the ground was stained with blood, the door of the back room was also wide open, Wenwen curled up on the bed wearing only a thin underwear horn.

The little girl who was still smiling yesterday suddenly turned pale today, no matter how much she called, she still couldn't get a response.
