It's just that these people are not buying food but seeking medical treatment, because this is a medical center.

"Ms. sir, please stop the car and I'll go down and take a look."

Lin Shuangshuang put on a mask and gloves before getting out of the car.

"Old man, are you feeling uncomfortable? I know some medical skills and can help you take a look."

There is no need to use the free doctor. It doesn’t cost any money anyway.

"Cough, fever, pain all over my body, terrible discomfort."

"And my grandson, I don't know what's going on. His face has been covered in bumps in the past two days. The child always scratches it with his hands. I don't know if he was bitten by a poisonous insect..."

After Lin Shuangshuang diagnosed the visitor, he looked at the child in her arms.

She frowned, and it seemed that the plague had spread to Qingshui Town.

Most of the grain store owners had received the news, so they closed their doors and refused to do business.

After all, the plague is coming, and food is more precious than gold. If all is sold, no matter how much money you make, you will lose your life.

"Let's go, let's go. It's closed. I won't watch anymore."

Suddenly, the medical center began to rush people out, and then closed the door.

"What's going on? Why don't you watch it?"

"Doctor, please open the door. My grandson is still waiting to see a doctor."

The patients queuing up at the door suddenly panicked when they saw the hospital closed.

The grain store was closed, and the medical center was also closed. Anyone who wasn't a fool knew that something big was going to happen, but they didn't know what happened yet.

"Folks, don't waste your time here. Go to another medical clinic quickly."

When the patients in line heard Lin Shuangshuang's reminder, they dispersed in a swarm and went to find the next medical clinic.

Gu Hanzhou didn't understand: "Madam, why is the medical clinic closed?"

"It should be that the doctor inside diagnosed these people with the plague and was afraid that he would also be infected with the plague, so he closed the door."

Now she can only hope that Haijia Medical Center is open and other small medical centers are closed for safety, and she understands that.

After all, this is a plague. Let alone the doctor, even the emperor is afraid. Whoever gets infected will die.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the desolate streets and the panicked pedestrians with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Ms. sir, let's go home first."

"Go back and see if mom is back. The most important thing is that our family is safe."

If my mother-in-law hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid she has to go pick her up. The city gate will be closed at any time given the current situation.

I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will be locked out, but she really won't be able to come back.

Living on the streets during a plague can kill people.

Gu Hanzhou drove a carriage to the familiar Hegou Village, and soon met the brother and sister Gu Jinguo and Gu Xinghua looking back and forth at the door.

"Second brother and third sister, why are you standing at the entrance of the village?"

Gu Jinguo frowned: "My mother hasn't come back yet, so I'm a little worried."

"Yes, I heard from the aunts in the village that all the grain shops in the town are closed. I'm afraid the city gate will be closed at any time." Gu Xinghua also looked worried.

Lin Shuangshuang's expression darkened, he was really afraid of what might happen.

If I had known that my mother-in-law's natal family was so far away, I wouldn't have let her go. It would have been better for a young man to go there instead of an old lady like her.

"I'll go out of the city to pick you up. It's much faster with a carriage."

"No."

Gu Jinguo and Gu Xinghua spoke at the same time, speaking in unison.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at them, and Gu Jinguo said, "Let me go."

"People outside are in panic. The city gate may be closed at any time. It's not safe for you to go out alone as a woman."

"You guys wait at home. I'll pick you up when I go out of the city. I'll drive the carriage."

At this time, the village head, who was helping people from other villages vaccinate at the entrance of the village, also came over: "Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, nothing can happen to you. You are the backbone of our village now."

"I'll find two young men to go with Gu Laoer. You just stay in the village."

"It's a chaotic situation outside, and it's not safe for a girl like you to go out."

Lin Shuangshuang felt that what the village chief said was a bit exaggerated. It was just that they could not buy rice and grain, so it would not lead to chaos.

"Don't worry, we won't be able to close the city gate for a while. These outsiders haven't gone back yet. If we really have to close the city, we won't have to wait until night."

"Before the city was closed, notices would be posted in the city. They would not just close the door without saying a word. That would cause big trouble."

"I will send people to guard the village entrance. If the government posts a notice, we will know it at any time."

"Okay, second brother, be careful on the road. Don't stop when you get my mother, come back immediately."

Gu Jinguo nodded: "Don't worry."

Gu Jinguo drove the carriage at high speed. He had just walked out of the city for about a quarter of an hour when he saw several bullock carts followed by a large group of people walking towards him, talking and laughing.

There were old people and children sitting on the bullock cart, and the young people were following behind. There was enough for a family of thirty or fifty.

"mother."

Gu Jinguo got out of the car and called out. Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Second brother, why are you here?"

"Hurry up and call your grandma, and your uncle and aunt..."

Gu Jinguo was not in the mood to say hello at this time. He just wanted to take Yang home quickly.

"Mom, get in the car quickly."

"Uncle, uncle, aunt and aunt, you guys also get in the car quickly."

"And those people behind me, please get on the bullock cart and follow me. Don't be reluctant to part with the cow. Now is not the time to spare your efforts."

Yang's expression changed: "What happened?"

"The grain stores and medical clinics in the town are closed. I guess the city gate will be closed soon. If we don't go back, we won't be able to go back."

With a panic on his face, he hurriedly got into the car and urged: "Get in the car quickly, let's go, don't be late."

The Yang family and their fellow villagers hesitated, not knowing whether they should rush home or to Hegou Village now.

What should we do?

"Uncle, don't hesitate. We need your food at home. If we can't go back, we can live in Hegou Village. It's better than being stuck on the road."

Yang Dalang shook his head firmly: "How can this be done? No, no, no, no."

"We just suffered a flood and not a single grain of food was recovered. Now the plague has come again. No one has much leftover food."

"If you can't take care of your own family, how can you have enough food to feed dozens of idle people?"

"This is not just a couple of people who can just make do with each other. The people of these forty or fifty people will praise you."

If only the dozen or so members of the Yang family could stay shamelessly, they could just pay back the food after the disaster years passed.

But now there are more than 30 people from the same village following him, and they all live and eat at the girl's house. Isn't this a trap for his sister?

"Let's go back. I won't plant the antidote anymore."

"It's probably not too late to rush home now."

Yang Dalang took his grandson off the carriage and led the ox cart back.

"Uncle, you..."

The Yang family is also in a dilemma now. Although the Gu family has made some money from their youngest daughter-in-law, they have to support dozens of mouths during the famine years. She does not have the ability and does not want to cause trouble to the younger generations.

But she couldn't bear to leave her mother's family alone.

However, Mr. Yang remained silent in the end, leaving everything to his son's decision.
