I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Shen Lianxin was very satisfied with the meal and originally wanted to eat instant noodles, but the smell of instant noodles was too strong and she was afraid of attracting attention, so she had to eat some cold food.

"Sister!" Li Xinghe came over.

Shen Lianxin was caught eating secretly and almost choked.

"Ahem!" He quickly drank some milk and turned around to give Li Xinghe a blank look.

Li Xinghe rushed forward to help, "Are you okay, sister?"

Shen Lianxin smoothed her chest and, seeing that no one was paying attention, handed him a piece of tongue biscuit.

Li Xinghe's eyes sparkled, he immediately understood, covered his face with his sleeves, turned his back and sat down next to Shen Lianxin.

The two of them started eating together. "What kind of snack is this? It's really delicious. The snacks in the pastry shops in the city are not as delicious as this."

Shen Lianxin was surprised, "Have you ever eaten pastries from a pastry shop?"

Li Xinghe said proudly, "That was when I passed the imperial examination and my teacher bought it for me. Even though it's only one piece, I will never forget it."

This Li Xinghe is also a scholar, not bad.

"Then why don't you take the provincial examination?" Shen Lianxin had read novels and roughly understood the process of the ancient college entrance examination. Only those who passed the examination and became a scholar were officially qualified to take the imperial examination.

The provincial examination is the first step in the formal imperial examination. After passing the provincial examination, one has to take part in the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. It can be seen that the imperial examination was not easy for the ancients.

Li Xinghe's eyes gradually dimmed. "Studying requires a lot of money. People like me who come from the countryside are not worthy of studying."

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows. This sounded bitter and uncomfortable. But this was the reality of this dynasty. Only children from wealthy families could study.

"I used to have an elder sister, who was very kind to me. After my father left the mine, he sold himself to a wealthy family as a maid so that I could study with peace of mind. Later, he died in that family, and I never saw my elder sister again. If I hadn't studied, my elder sister wouldn't have died..."

Shen Lianxin held Li Xinghe's hand. In this era when men and women were strictly separated, Li Xinghe was shocked. Shen Lianxin's hands were slender and soft, not at all rough like those of a village woman.

Li Xinghe was so tempted by this tenderness that he did not pull his hand back.

"Your sister wants you to continue studying because she hopes you can have a bright future instead of giving up on yourself. You should work harder for her."

A tear flowed from the corner of Li Xinghe's eyes.

His elder sister was a pain in his heart, and he had never mentioned it to anyone for all these years. The appearance of Shen Lianxin was like a ray of light shining into his dark life.

"If you are willing, I will be your elder sister from now on." Shen Lianxin thought that raising four was fine, and it would be fine to raise one more.

Li Xinghe's eyes flickered as he looked at Shen Lianxin. Does he really have a sister again?

Normally, Li Xinghe is a man of few words, and only when he sees Shen Lianxin will he like to follow her like a little tail.

In his heart, he had secretly regarded Shen Lianxin as his elder sister. Perhaps it was just to give a place to express the deep feelings in his heart.

Li Xinghe held Shen Lianxin's hand, "Sister!"

Shen Lianxin laughed out loud, "Good! Good boy!"

Having found a good-looking younger brother, Shen Lianxin was in a good mood and laughed heartily.

She took out two loaves of bread from the space and stuffed them into Li Xinghe's arms, "Come, eat! Don't be polite since it's given by my sister."

Seeing Shen Lianxin's cheerful smile, Li Xinghe was also infected and felt a lot more relaxed.

Looking at the bread that Shen Lianxin stuffed into his hand, he didn't hesitate and started eating it.

The two of them sat in the corner of the isolation area and ate secretly. Although life was hard, Li Xinghe felt that this was an extremely happy time.

After a while, Aunt Liu shouted loudly, "Dinner is ready!"

A long queue soon formed in front of Aunt Liu's big pot.

Shen Lianxin and the other person were already full.

Li Xinghe patted his butt and stood up, "Sister, I'm going to get food, otherwise I'll be suspected."

Holding a bowl for two, Li Xinghe also went to queue up.

The days pass one by one, and time passes one minute by one.

Five days later, the county magistrate mobilized a large amount of medicinal materials from nearby towns and distributed them to various plague isolation points. He also received some relief grain.

The soldiers who delivered the grain brought news that the county magistrate had either bought or begged for it from nearby towns.

The government did not distribute a single grain of food, and the county magistrate set out overnight, running around the counties, calling on the wealthy merchants of Yuncheng for three days and three nights without sleep to raise these grains and medicinal materials. It is said that the county magistrate's wife's dowry was confiscated and turned into food in their hands.

The plague also broke out in the main urban area of ​​Yuncheng, but the city was sealed off in time and did not spread to other towns. Yuncheng had relatively sufficient medicinal materials, and Doctor Ma also sent back the prescription for controlling the plague in time, so the epidemic in the urban area was the first to be controlled.

The officers and soldiers spoke with great emotion, and the people listened and shed silent tears.

Yuncheng has a good official. Otherwise, not only them, but many more people will die.

Shen Lianxin was moved. No matter in ancient or modern times, she admired any official who could be so kind to the people.

The disease in the isolation area has been brought under control. Those with good physical conditions have almost recovered, and the condition of those with weak constitutions has also been brought under control. No one has died here for two days.

New patients are continuously sent in every day, and those who are getting better consciously help take care of new patients. The scene that was originally a purgatory on earth has become harmonious and warm.

People who were sent here thinking they were going to die were moved to tears when they saw the atmosphere here.

Shen Qingsong's illness recurred several times, but he finally got better. Sun Xiaoyue helped to make medicine and cook every day. She relaxed and started to help everyone.

"Fourth aunt, fourth aunt, do you want to go hunting in the mountains today? Take me with you, I'm well now." Shen Qingsong is a boy after all, and he couldn't sit still after he recovered from his illness.

In the past, his mother hated Fourth Aunt and didn't let him get close to Shen Lianxin, but this time, Sun Xiaoyue told him that Fourth Aunt was a relative and asked him to respect her and be filial to her when he grew up.

Shen Lianxin thought about making one last contribution to these people. Now that the plague was under control, her mission was accomplished. She was not a doctor, and there were several children waiting for her at home. She had done everything she could, and was ready to go back after hunting.

"Qingsong, let's go."

Shen Lianxin greeted the leader of the officers and soldiers, and the few of them set off, still accompanied by Wang Er.

Shen Lianxin was able to catch some prey every time she went up the mountain, so everyone was full of anticipation every time Shen Lianxin set out.

As you go deeper into the mountains, there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants. In fact, it is not easy to hunt prey. The animals are instinctively alert and more familiar with the terrain. They will run away in advance at the slightest sign of trouble.

If it weren't for the help of the patrol locator, Shen Lianxin thought hunting would not be easy.

Fortunately, I was able to buy some pheasants and rabbits from the mall to make up the number when no one was paying attention.

Shen Qingsong has been going up the mountains since he was a child, but mostly on the edge of the forest. He is very good at picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables.
