Old Mrs. Shen put down her bowl and chopsticks, tears streaming down her face. The children did not dare to speak, and Shen Lianxin quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears.

"Mom, I'll think of a way to get him out." The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Are you serious?"

Shen Lianxin nodded, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't take it seriously. This plague was a big deal, and no matter how great her ability was, she could get the people out. It would not do to just watch the old lady crying like this. She had to fool her first and let the old lady feel at ease.

After dinner, Shen Lianxin poured the antiviral oral liquid into a bowl and said, "Mom, this is medicine to fight the virus. Take it back and give each family member a spoonful, twice a day."

"Is this the medicine that cured Xiaojing?" The old lady's voice trembled with excitement.

"Uh. Yeah!"

After seeing the old lady off, I saw that the children all looked worried. The huge impact of the plague had planted the seeds of fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts.

"Xiao An, from now on, you will lead everyone to do horse stance for one stick of incense, run five laps, and do 5 push-ups every morning. The body is the capital of revolution, and we must exercise it."

Gu Chengan has the best physique and is the most active. He is the best fighter among the children.

Gu Chengan nodded seriously, "Okay, Mom, I will set a good example. Mom, what does revolution mean?" Several children looked at her in confusion.

Uh! Did she say revolution?

Shen Lianxin thought for a moment, "Revolution means doing things. That is to say, no matter what you want to do in the future, whether studying or practicing martial arts, you must have a good body, otherwise you can't accomplish anything."

So this is what it meant. Several children said they understood and admired Shen Lianxin even more. Their mother always said something very reasonable.

"Studying cannot be neglected. You must study hard after morning exercises. You must recite in the morning. In the morning, you can do arithmetic when your mind is clear. In the afternoon, you can practice calligraphy and read stories. Daxin must take responsibility for study matters. Ask me if you don't understand."

Shen Lianxin insisted on teaching the children to recognize words every day. After teaching Gu Chengxin, she asked him to teach his younger brothers and sisters so that he could remember them more firmly.

"I understand, Mom." Gu Chengxin responded.

The children ran three laps and then washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, the mountains were shrouded in fog, marking the end of midsummer and the beginning of autumn.

Feeling refreshed, Shen Lianxin went to bed early and got up early as usual. After washing up, she started to prepare breakfast.

I cooked a pot of millet porridge, fried a plate of vegetables, and bought a pack of frozen beef patties from the mall, which I simply fried in a pan.

Simple and delicious, several children imitated each other in horse stance in the yard.

"Dinner is ready!" Shen Lianxin shouted, and several children rushed into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice.

If there were no epidemic, life would be so peaceful and beautiful.

After dinner, the children started reading and studying, while Shen Lianxin was busy washing dishes in the kitchen.

Then Gu Chengxin shouted, "Mom, the village head is here."

The head of the village is here? Shen Lianxin frowned. The head of the village must be here for something. She washed the last bowl, put it down, waved her hands, and came out of the kitchen.

"The head of the village is here. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something?"

Li Zheng looked a little haggard, and waved his hand, "Gu Shenshi, I came to you to ask for something."

The village head spoke politely, and his tone was very humble. Shen Lianxin also said seriously, "Village head, you say!"

"I know that Xiaojing was infected with the disease. You are a capable person. Doctor Wang said that it was you who cured Xiaojing." The head of the village paused.

"Shen, there are hundreds of households in our Yunshan Village, Taoshu Village, and Shanghe Village, and thousands of lives. I beg you to help us!" As the headman was about to kneel down, Shen Lianxin was quick to support him.

"Li Zheng, there's no need to do this."

Seeing such a village head, Shen Lianxin was moved. If she could save thousands of lives, she would naturally be willing to do so.

But she had concerns. She had too many secrets. The medicine was not from this era, so she couldn't explain it clearly. She couldn't make up the source of the medicine either.

Shen Lianxin pondered for a long time. The headman's eyes were cloudy, but his gaze was burning. Seeing that Shen Lianxin refused to answer for a long time, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Shen Lianxin saw all these changes, how could she bear it.

"Village head, I do have some skills, but since it concerns my late husband, I don't want to say more. If anyone asks, please help cover for me."

There was no other way, Shen Lianxin could only push the blame on the dead Gu Dingbei. After all, he was an outsider, and it made sense that he had some secrets or abilities that others didn't know about. The most important thing was that the person was dead, so there was no way to verify what she said.

When the head of the village heard that Shen Lianxin agreed, he immediately bowed and said, "On behalf of the villagers in the surrounding area, I would like to thank Madam Shen for saving my life!"

"It's a blessing for the folks in this area to have such a village head!" Shen Lianxin said sincerely as she helped the village head up.

Shen Lianxin turned around and looked at the children. Before she could speak, Gu Chengxin stepped forward and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will take care of my brothers and sisters and urge them to study hard."

Gu Chengan also stepped forward and said, "Mom, I will lead everyone to exercise every day and help my eldest brother take care of his younger siblings."

Gu Chengjing held Gu Chengzhen, pursed his lips, wanted to cry but pretended to be strong. They were all children, they knew that Shen Lianxin's trip might be dangerous, but they also knew that Shen Lianxin's trip was for the sake of human life and justice.

Shen Lianxin was moved and hugged the children. Gu Chengjing and Gu Chengzhen burst into tears.

Seeing this, the village head walked to the door and waited.

After comforting the children, Shen Lianxin went into the kitchen, left some vegetables, meat, eggs and milk. She took out a 100-liang silver note and handed it to Gu Chengxin, "Daxin, these foods are what I left for you. Don't save them. I don't know how long it will take for me to come back, but I will find a way to send them back."

"You must hide this 100 taels well and don't tell anyone. If, I mean if, mother can't come back in a short time, you can use this money to live and you will be able to wait until mother comes back."

Gu Chengxin finally couldn't hold back any longer and tears streamed down his face. Gu Chengan also threw himself into Shen Lianxin's arms, and the worry in his eyes turned into reality.

Shen Lianxin took out some medicines for them, explained what they were used for and how to take them, and asked them to learn how to read the instructions.

"You have to believe in mother's ability. Don't worry. Take good care of yourself so that mother won't have any worries. Do you understand?" Shen Lianxin gently touched the head of each little one.

When she first met the children, they were all as thin as bean sprouts, but now they are all clean and tidy, and their faces have grown flesh. The children's eyes were full of fear and caution, but now they are confident and determined. Shen Lianxin poured all her motherly love into them.

She was reluctant to part with him now, but she knew she had to make this journey because of the greater good.
