One of the men spitted, turned around and left, and the other man immediately followed.

After watching the two men leave, Qian Chuanzi sat down on the threshold.

He has encountered this situation more than once during this period.

This time it was not dangerous. There was once a madman who was infected with smallpox and chopped people around with a knife. If Qian Chuanzi had not been able to hide quickly, he might have been in two places now.

"When will it be the end?"

Qian Chuanzi whispered, and there was no answer to this question at all.

However, Qian Chuanzi knew that as long as there was an epidemic area where smallpox occurred, the court would almost keep blocking it.

Only when all the people inside get smallpox, or everyone is dead will the court release the blockade.

When Qian Chuanzi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

He has nothing to do with himself, but he has a daughter and two sons, especially his youngest son is only five years old. He has been unable to eat enough these days and has repeatedly called him hungry through the door panel.

“It really doesn’t work…”

Qian Chuanzi suddenly gritted his teeth and murmured to himself.

He remembered Hu Mazi on Qian Street, who once bought a lot of grain and stored it at home, maybe...

Qian Chuanzi thought of this and looked down at the kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes slightly red.

It was dawn and a bowl of porridge was handed out from the door.

“How much food is left at home?”

Qian Chuanzi whispered to the door.

"The rice and flour have all come to an end. Even if you only drink porridge, you can last until tomorrow at most."

Qian Chuanzi's wife replied, her voice was a little desperate.

Qian Chuanzi felt a trembling heart after hearing this, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Take the porridge back and give it to the third child to drink, I'm not hungry yet."

"You drink it. What if you fall down, what should we do if we have some mothers?"

Qian Chuanzi's wife whispered.

Qian Chuanzi was silent for a moment when he heard this, then picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

"You don't have to worry about food. I'll think of a solution tonight!"

"what are you up to?"

Qian Chuanzi's wife asked in surprise, "She knows her husband so much for so many years."

"Stop asking, I have my own plans anyway!"

Qian Chuanzi said impatiently.

Qian Chuanzi's wife finally stopped talking.

There is almost no difference between day and night in the epidemic area, and the streets are empty.

Even if there are occasional passersby, they always look alert.

Qian Chuanzi held the kitchen knife in his hand, and the expression on his face struggled several times, but thinking about his hungry wife and children behind him, his expression became more and more firm.

But now it is not convenient in broad daylight, so I can only wait until night before doing it.

But just after noon, I suddenly heard a burst of rapid steps in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a team of imperial guards rushed over and called door to door.

A gray-haired general came to Qian Chuanzi, looked at him and asked, "Have you gotten into the sky?"

"No...no!"

Qian Chuanzi was frightened, but he still forced himself to tell a lie.

"to be honest!"

The old general pulled out the knife and put it on Qian Chuanzi's neck and asked.

"I...I ran away a few smallpox patients a few days ago, but they have not yet developed the disease."

Qian Chuanzi was so scared that he dared not lie anymore, and finally told the truth.

"Who else is there in the family?"

The veteran asked again.

"My wife and children are inside, and they have never contacted patients. I am afraid that I will infect them, so I stayed outside the door."

Qian Chuanzi explained anxiously.

He heard that after the epidemic area is blocked, the court may send troops to kill all patients. It doesn’t matter if he dies, but at least he must let his wife and children live.

"Come here, send him to the observation camp, and all the wives and children in the family are sent to vaccinate!"

The veteran general waved his hand and immediately a soldier stepped forward to take away the money.

"General, where are you going to take me? My wife and children are not infected?"

Qian Chuanzi was frightened. He couldn't understand the other party's words at all, and he didn't know how the other party would deal with their family?

"Don't worry, even if you are sick, the court will send someone to treat you!"

Although the veteran general was a little fierce, he still explained it kindly.

This finally made Qian Chuanzi feel a little relieved, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to do anything bad for the sake of eating it in one bite.

The same thing is happening throughout the street.

The group of soldiers wearing imperial guards rushed into various households and brought everyone out.

Those who are infected are sent for treatment, those who have been exposed to the patient are sent for observation, and those who are not sick are sent for vaccination.

...

A row of simple sheds have been built on a clearing area on the edge of the epidemic area.

Ning Fu stood in the crowd, directing the healthy people sent to queue up and enter the shed to inoculate cowpox in turn.

At this moment, another group of people was brought over by a group of soldiers.

When the veteran general in charge saw Ning Fu, he immediately stepped forward and bowed:

"Xiao Langjun, all the residents of East Street have been brought here!"

"The head of Wu Jun... is wrong. Thank you for your hard work!"

Ning Fu couldn't help but smile when he looked at Wu Wei in a brand new military uniform.

"This time, thanks to Xiao Langjun, otherwise Wu might not be able to resume his official position in his life!"

But Wu Dutou solemnly clasped his fists to Ning Fu.

"It's all my family, so Wu Duzhu shouldn't say these polite words!"

Ning Fu waved his hand.

During the half month in the epidemic area, he and Wu Dutou cooperated tacitly, and the two also formed a deep friendship.

"Brother Xiao Yi, the people of West Street have also brought them here!"

While talking, someone suddenly shouted loudly again.

Ning Fu turned his head and saw Hutou strode forward in the costume of the imperial guards.

The tiger head is already extremely burly and majestic, and with the clothing of the imperial guards, it looks extremely majestic.

"Brother Tiger Head, it's a pity that you don't go to the army if you have a figure!"

Wu Dutou couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the tiger's head.

"I think, but my mother won't let it go!"

Tiger head smiled.

Hutou, Wangjiazhuangzi and others were temporarily recruited to enter the city to help the people in the epidemic areas in the city. The reason why they changed into the clothes of the imperial guards was mainly to facilitate their actions.

"How is Aunt Wang? Did you scold you yesterday?"

Ning Fu asked Hutou with a smile.

"No, I told my mother about the epidemic area. My mother praised me for growing up and let me learn skills with Brother Xiaoyi!"

Tiger's head scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

Ning Fu chatted with Hutou for a few words, and then asked him and Wu Dutou to go to another neighborhood to find the people.
