The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu left Xiao Mansion with Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai.

Yan Wu put an arm on Yan Huai's shoulder.

"Third brother, the book in your hand was given by your brother Xiao?"

Yan Huai nodded: "Brother Xiao said that these books cannot be taken away. Rather than being wasted by the refugees, it is better to give them to people who like to read."

Yan Wu raised his eyebrows: "It seems that he is really good to you. We have only met twice and he actually knows that you like reading."

Yan Shu hesitated and glanced at Yan Huai, thinking that he would talk to his third brother alone when he went back.

"Second brother, you go back and inform the village chief first. Just say that we found a well in Beicheng and ask him to bring people over to share the water."

Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai all looked surprised.

"Little sister, did you really find water?"

Yan Shu pointed to Zhai Mansion opposite.

"It's in that mansion."

"Okay, I'll go back and call the village chief."

Yan Wu ran back to the team excitedly. The seventh uncle and Yan Fugui hurried over when they learned that Yan Shu had found a well.

The group of people stood by the well, and the seventh uncle's face was full of joy.

"Fugui, go and organize the villagers to fetch water."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

a quarter of an hour later

Villagers from several villages came over one after another carrying buckets of water.

Because there were so many people, several village chiefs arranged for a dozen young people to stand by the well to maintain order.

In this way, each household finally received a bucket of water, and the water in the well was just finished.

There were also some troubles during this period. When the nearby refugees heard that someone had discovered the water source, they came in groups to grab water.

Yan Shu had already expected this, so she asked Yan Changming to organize a group of people and let them take the weapons seized from the village and stand at the gate to guard the house.

When the refugees who came after hearing the news saw that the villagers with murderous faces at the door were holding weapons in their hands, but they did not dare to step forward easily with their bare hands, waves of refugees came and went.

approaching evening

Jiang Ci had just walked out of Xiao Mansion. He went to see his seventh uncle first.

After that night, the seventh uncle no longer treated Jiang Ci like an elder treated a junior, but with more respect.

"Seventh Uncle, please place the villagers in the house in the North City tonight. Remind them that if they want to survive, no matter what the noise is outside late at night, they should not go out to check."

Uncle Seventh's expression darkened and he asked worriedly: "But Cangtong County is not peaceful at night?"

"There are a large number of refugees in the city now. The news that we found water has already spread. If we don't keep it, they will come to grab the water late at night. If we sleep outside, it will not be conducive to our defense."

The seventh uncle felt that Jiang Ci's analysis made sense and nodded in agreement.

He quickly arranged things.

Several village chiefs led people from their respective villages to the Zhai Mansion where they were fetching water during the day.

This house is the largest one on this street. The courtyard is very spacious as soon as you enter it, with more than 100 large and small rooms in total.

There is no problem in accommodating more than 2000 people to spend the night here.

Yan Wu gave full play to his talents when it came to robbing houses.

He was the first to grab a room in the backyard. Although there was only one bed in the room, it was much better than sleeping in a yard full of mosquitoes.

During dinner, Aunt Mei hurried over with Xiaoyu in her arms.

"Fourth girl, please take a look at Xiaoyu. She has been coughing today and she feels a little hot now. I don't know what's wrong with this child."

Yan Shu stood up and said, "Let me take a look."

Aunt Mei put Xiaoyu on the bed, and Yan Shu touched Xiaoyu's forehead first. It was hot and it was indeed a high fever.

Then he checked Xiaoyu's pulse again.

"Xiao Yu, can you let me see how many teeth you have?"

Xiaoyu was very obedient and cooperated with her mouth wide open.

Yan Shu took a look at the tongue coating by candlelight. The light was too dark, and he could vaguely see that his throat was red and swollen.

In fact, the problem can be seen from the pulse.

"The weather is too dry, the child drinks too little water and always eats too dry food, which causes the throat to become red, swollen and inflamed."

It is not easy to make a hot meal while escaping from famine. To save trouble, most villagers spread out some black flour pancakes and prepare them. Because they are reluctant to add oil, the pancakes are dry, hard and difficult to swallow.

It's better for adults, but children's teeth are not good at all. It's strange that they don't get throat problems when chewing dry and hard pancakes like this. In severe cases, it can even cause pneumonia.

Aunt Mei's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked at her daughter distressedly.

"It's all useless for us to let our children suffer so much with us."

Xiaoyu stretched out a small hand and grabbed Aunt Mei's sleeve: "Mom, don't cry, Xiaoyu doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Liu Wenniang comforted her softly: "Sister-in-law, don't think like that. No one's family's situation is much better at the moment. If the child is sick, let's take good care of the child. My daughter, Xiaoyu's illness is not a big problem, right?"

"It's okay. I'll give Xiaoyu acupuncture to reduce her fever first."

Yan Shu took out the acupuncture kit, asked Xiao Yu to lie on the bed and started giving her acupuncture.

Although the little girl is only five years old, she is smart and precocious. Even though she was inserted with more than a dozen silver needles, she didn't cry.

After a quarter of an hour of acupuncture, Yan Shu withdrew the needles.

"The fever will subside in half an hour. If the child drinks more boiled water and eats thin food in the past two days, the fever will be cured in three to five days."

Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that nothing was wrong.

"As long as it's okay, it's okay, fourth girl, thank you so much."

At this juncture, the child suddenly had a fever, and even though he was sure that his family had never eaten rat meat, he was still very worried.

What if this disease is not transmitted by eating rat meat, but by being close to a diseased rat?

Too many children died in the team in the past two days. As a mother, she knew all too well the heartbreaking pain of losing a child, so she was so nervous when she saw her daughter suddenly having a high fever.

Yan Ersheng rushed back from the front yard with the three brothers of the Yan family, Yan Dahu, Yan Xiangyang and his son.

Tonight, the seventh uncle arranged for a group of villagers who were good at boxing and archery to keep vigil. Yan Ersheng's family and Yan Dahu's father and son were all selected.

As soon as Yan Dahu entered the door, he hurried to the bed.

"How is my daughter?"

Aunt Mei already had a smile on her face now.

"Don't worry, Fourth Girl has already given our daughter acupuncture, and the fever will go away soon."

Yan Dahu asked Yan Shu: "Four girls, isn't Yu'er suffering from a serious disease?"

"No, it's just a red and swollen throat. I can just do another acupuncture tomorrow at this time."

Yan Dahu and Yan Xiangyang, father and son, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Yan Wu walked to the bed with a smile.

"Xiao Yu, do you want to see my brother perform a trick for you?"

Xiao Yuyu’s big eyes were full of expectation.

"Want to see."

"Then you look good."

Yan Wu stretched out his hands to make a few gestures in front of Xiao Yu, and suddenly a piece of pastry appeared in his empty hands.

"Xiao Yu is sick and still doesn't cry or make trouble. Grandpa God said that Xiao Yu is really a well-behaved and sensible child and deserves a reward!"

Xiaoyu was so happy that she stretched out her little hand and picked up the piece of pastry.

"Brother Yan Wu is so awesome!"

Yan Wu couldn't laugh or cry when he was praised by the little girl. Why is it so difficult to deceive a child?

"Haha, it's the immortal grandfather who is so powerful."

The little guy knew in his heart that the immortal grandfather was brother Yan Wu.

"Mom and dad eat cakes!"

"Sister Yan Shu eats cakes."

"Let's all eat pastries together."

Xiaoyu held up the piece of pastry and was reluctant to eat it, insisting on feeding everyone a little, making everyone laugh.

Yan Shu really liked this little girl and touched her little head.

"Xiaoyu is sick. This pastry is given by the fairy grandpa to reward sick and obedient children."

Half an hour later, Xiaoyu's fever subsided.

Originally, Yan Dahu and Yan Xiangyang did not grab a room and planned to spend the night in the yard. Xiao Yu fell ill and there were too many mosquitoes in the yard at night. The two families, Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang, stayed in this house together tonight.

Fortunately, the house is spacious and I can sleep on the floor.
