God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 360
371
Su Kefang wanted to save the child, but she didn't dare to touch the child without knowing whether the child was infected with the plague.

She knew very well that if she wanted to save him, she had to protect herself first.

After a while, Xiang Zirun came over with the two officers and soldiers.

Seeing the crying child lying on the ground, Xiang Zirun thought of the corpse that the officers and soldiers asked him to check, and quickly understood what was going on.

"The woman died of starvation." Xiang Zirun said softly.

Hearing this, Su Kefang's heart relaxed, he knelt down and picked up the child.

"You can show this child too." Su Kefang said to Xiang Zirun.

Xiang Zirun frowned: "Do you want to feed this child yourself?"

Although he also wanted to save the child, he didn't want her to feed it himself.

Su Kefang glanced at him angrily, and said in a low voice, "My milk has been returned two days ago, and I can't even feed my daughter in the future. How can I feed other children?"

He didn't notice such an obvious thing last night!
After hearing this, Xiang Zirun nodded and said, "It's okay, the child is already this old, just feed him rice cereal."

Xiang Zirun checked the child, and there was no other problem except malnutrition, so Su Ke conveniently took the child back to the house where they lived.

Seeing that Xiang Zirun was about to enter the epidemic area again, Su Kefang thought of what the two officers and soldiers said, stopped him quickly, and asked: "I heard that there is something wrong with the water brought in from outside. Could this water be caused by the plague?" source?"

"Probably not. If water is the source of the plague, then Huaibei will not be the only one affected." Xiang Zirun frowned.

Su Kefang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same. If there is a problem with the water, the people in the place where the small river passes may suffer.

After Xiang Zirun left, Su Kefang brought the child into the space and boiled rice cereal for him.

The child was obviously starving, and started crying before the rice cereal cooled down. Su Kefang had to feed it while blowing, but it was still too late.

The child fell asleep after eating the rice cereal, and Su Kefang boiled some water to cool it down, planning to give the child a drink when he woke up.

In order not to make people suspicious, she did not stay in the space for long, and returned to the house with the child.

Somehow, the people in the non-epidemic area found out that Su Kefang brought the child back to his own care, and those people with children suddenly rushed to the area where they lived like crazy, wanting to entrust the child to him. To Su Kefang.

Xiang Zirun rushed over after hearing the news, seeing that the people were temporarily unable to break in under the beatings of officers and soldiers, and his daughter-in-law was standing there unscathed, so his tense nerves relaxed.

Those common people hugged their children and bumped into the officers and soldiers as if they were not afraid of death. To stop them, the officers and soldiers had to shake the whips in their hands fiercely. Some children screamed after being whipped, but their parents still went to The scene was chaotic.

Su Kefang was terrified when he saw it, and regretted that he had brought the child over impulsively just now.

Su Kefang is already a mother, so she understands the feelings of these people, but she is powerless now, so——

"Folks, please calm down and listen to me!" Su Kefang stepped forward and shouted.

"Madam, madam, please take in my child."

"And my family, please save him, he is almost starving to death."

"And ours!"

"..."

"..."

As soon as they saw Su Kefang, the people knelt down for her separated by officers and soldiers.

"Folks, listen to me, I didn't want to take this child in!" Su Kefang explained, "Just now this child's mother died, leaving him alone. I took this child back because he was so young. Let my husband check him out, and if he is not infected with the plague, which villager would I like to ask to help adopt this child."

As soon as Su Kefang finished speaking, there was a sudden silence. Disbelief and unwillingness flashed across the faces of the people, and the silence lasted for a few seconds. Those people kowtowed to Su Kefang while holding their children.

"Madam, you are so merciful, please save us, please..."

"Please..."

Su Kefang's heart was very heavy as the begging voices rose and fell.

These people are waiting for the moment of death every day. They have forgotten how long they have been waiting, and they have completely lost their thoughts. Who knows that God has given them a glimmer of hope, making them think that their children can still live, but Who knew it was just a joke!
Such a gap made them almost collapse, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so long erupted in an instant, holding the child and crying loudly, with helplessness and despair in the crying, which lingered in the air for a long time...

"Folks!" Xiang Zirun stepped forward and said, "I understand everyone's feelings. We know that the folks want to get out of this epidemic area as soon as possible and see the sun again! If you believe in us, give us time and I will try my best to help you of."

"That's right, if everyone believes in us, go back first. It's useless for you to make trouble here. It's better to go back and wait for our good news." Su Kefang also echoed.

"Master, madam, are you telling us to go back and wait to die?" A woman in her twenties cried while holding a three or four-year-old child.

"I didn't eat or drink, I'm not waiting to die when I go back!"

"Young master, madam, please tell those officials to let us out, we are not infected with the plague, why should we be locked up here..."

Although the people didn't make any more trouble, they cried and refused to leave. Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang had no choice but to let an officer take the child away after discussing it, so as to save those people from making trouble again.

Why didn't they want to let these people go, but the government suspected that these people were infected with the plague, so they didn't dare to let them go out, and they couldn't do anything about it.

"Zi Run, is there any progress with Divine Doctor Ye and the imperial doctors?" Su Kefang asked after returning to the room.

How long has it been, and the medicine to suppress the plague has not yet been developed. How can the common people hold on like this?
Su Kefang frowned, and said again: "Also, since there is a problem with the water nearby, why don't you go to a place farther away to get water?"

Before just now, she thought that coming here was forced. She was willing to stay with Xiang Zirun for the sake of her mother-in-law and daughter, but just now she saw the villagers working hard for their children, and she had to be moved.

When the mentality changes, it becomes more positive.

"I have fetched water from distant places, but the water I brought back is also problematic. Now I suspect that the villagers are not infected with the plague, but a poison similar to the plague." Xiang Zirun said solemnly own opinion.

Su Kefang was startled: "You mean someone deliberately poisoned the water?!"

"That's right!" Xiang Zirun raised his eyes and looked at her deeply: "It seems that the water in your space can only be used to replace the water that was taken."
