Chen Zhishui and the craftsmen scraped the wall for most of the day.At noon, the craftsmen ate the dry food they brought with them, and Chen Zhishui ate a few steamed buns that were not warm.

From a distance, he saw Cheng Jinbao come back in a disheveled state.Holding two copper plates in his hand.

Chen Zhishui sat resting on the stone at the gate of the courtyard, and saw the copper plate in Cheng Jinbao's hand.I knew he had sold the ginseng.Judging by the expression, it is estimated that he lost a lot.

He, Cheng Jinbao, did lose a lot, a total of eight taels.When he took it to sell in the city, he realized that this ginseng was not a 50-year-old ginseng at all, but that it had been dead for five years.It's worth two taels of silver at most.

Cheng Jinbao couldn't believe it.That middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes turned out to be a liar!

Eight taels!A full loss of eight taels!

Losing money is a trivial matter, it is Cheng Luohua's dowry money anyway.

The key is that before he went to sell ginseng in the city, he met a villager and told him that he was going to make money.Be praised by those people.

On the way back, he carried two copper coins in a disheveled manner.

There are many gossipers who chew on the root of his tongue behind him.How much he liked these people before, how much he hates them now.

When it comes to you, they will please you in every possible way.

When you can't use it, you will only talk behind your back.

Human nature is pathetic.But he, Cheng Jinbao, would not be defeated so easily.He is a proud son favored by heaven.How could it be possible to be devastated by this little setback.

Those who chewed his tongue behind his back, sooner or later, he would cut off their tongues and feed them to the dogs himself!

-----------------

Another month and a half passed, and the project of Chen Zhishui's house was coming to an end.The tiles of the main house have all been installed.The windows and doors were also refurbished.

The work of the wing room is coming to an end, the only thing missing is the roof.

The base of the wing room is about one foot high.The material is made of broken bricks and three-component soil rammed.

The wooden columns and girders are made of pine.

In the future, the roof will be made into an ordinary hard gable roof, and blue tiles are planned to be used like the main house.

That night.

Wang Jiadong has been observing the Chen family for more than a month, and tonight is the most suitable day to attack.

Wang Mazi and Wang Jiadong took out the mice that had been packed in cloth bags in advance, and went to Chen's house quietly in the dead of night.

Chen Zhishui's house has just finished building a wall at the back of the wing room, and the front wall has not yet been built, and there is not even a gate.It happened to give Wang's father and son an opportunity.

Wang Jiadong and Wang Mazi came to the door of Chen's wing. Under the faint moonlight, Wang Jiadong reached out from the cloth bag and took out a mouse that hadn't ground its teeth for several days.

Wang Jiadong held the mouse by its tail, stuck it to the cylinder, and signaled it to chew on the wood.

Unexpectedly, the mouse arched its body and took a bite at Wang Jiadong's hand.

The Wang family and his son had forgotten that not only had the mouse not ground its teeth for several days, it hadn't even eaten for several days.Wang Jiadong's gleaming white hand rested in front of his eyes, and if he didn't take a bite, he would be sorry that he had been hungry for so many days.

"what!"

Wang Jiadong was bitten by a mouse, and immediately threw the mouse out, and the mouse ran away without a trace when it fell to the ground.

Wang Jiadong was so angry that he was about to do something else when the candles in Chen Zhishui's room were lit.The Wang family father and son ran away in fright without taking the cloth bag in time.

Chen Zhishui opened the door, looked around and went in without seeing anyone.

After another two weeks, the roof of Chen Zhishui's house was just short of tiles.After hearing the movement that night, Chen Zhishui hastened to tell the craftsmen to finish building the walls and gates first, so that no one would come in in the future.

Wang Jiadong is ill.

This is what Chen Zhishui heard from the villagers gossip.

It is said that he got sick last night.Suddenly began to have fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and pain all over the body.There were also many cord-shaped bleeding spots on the chest, front and back, like scratches.

Chen Zhishui suddenly remembered the "ahh" that he heard that night half a month ago, and the cloth bag containing rat feces that he picked up at the door of the wing room the next morning.

In addition, there were rats in the house later, and several sacks containing wheat were smashed by the rats, and a few rat droppings were mixed in the wheat.It was hard to kill the mouse.At that time, she was still wondering why such a big mouse suddenly appeared in the house, which had never been infested with mice before.

It turned out that she was waiting here.

hehe.According to the time and Wang Jiadong's symptoms.It's epidemic hemorrhagic fever.The incubation period of epidemic hemorrhagic fever is exactly two to three weeks.Rats are the main culprit, which just so happens to be carrying the virus.He also took a bite out of Wang Jiadong.The disease is contagious.This disease cannot be allowed to spread.

Although Wang Jiadong deserved it.But the villagers are innocent after all.

Wang Mazi went to the city to invite a doctor early in the morning.

The doctor was stopped by Chen Zhishui when he left the village entrance.Inquire about Wang Jiadong's condition.

The doctor thought that Chen Zhishui was curious, so it was nothing to say, so he told her.

Just like what Chen Zhishui guessed, the doctor said it was the plague, there was no cure, it would be best to burn it after being quarantined as soon as possible.He also told Chen Zhishui not to get too close to him.

Although Chen Zhishui was moved by the burning of Wang Jiadong, she still didn't want the disease to spread.According to the urine nature of the Wang family, if they knew that the disease was contagious, they would have to drag a few villagers to their backs even if they died.

"Doctor, I have a prescription. You can see if it is possible to cure the disease. If other people in the village are infected and the disease is brought to the city, it will be terrible."

The doctor sounded reasonable.The disease is transmitted through saliva and air.It can easily spread to the whole village.Nodding her head, she agreed that Chen Zhishui would show him the prescription.

Chen Zhishui handed the prescription written in advance to the doctor.

Although the doctor was very puzzled, he still didn't ask anything, and took out the prescription to study it.

Gypsum, Anemarrhena, buffalo horn, habitat,

Paeonol, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Rhizoma Imperatae.

Decoction, one dose per day.Take it day and night.

Gypsum Zhimu Qingyangming is divided into heat.

Buffalo horn Shengdidanpi Chishao clears blood heat.

It can also restore the blood clotting time to normal.

This is the way to go.

The doctor thanked Chen Zhishui and hurried back to the city to grab the medicine.Later, other people may be infected with the disease.

The prescription was given to the doctor, so Chen Zhishui didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Go home and continue to oversee the work. It is estimated that in two weeks, the house will be completely completed.

The author has something to say:

Wang Jiadong (holding the mouse's tail): Hurry up and give me a knock!

Mouse: mmp see if I won't beat you to death!

Chen Zhishui (holding a torch): I really want to burn the upper floor alive

Wang Jiadong: shivering
