Farmhouse is so old

Tang Qing had been busy all afternoon, and he only packed half of the grain in the warehouse. After eating something casually, he came out of the space and returned to the previous small town.

There are only two or three shops in the small town, and there are some scattered farm men and women setting up stalls.The street was deserted and deserted. The people who set up the stalls were ready to pack their things and went home. The shopkeepers in the shop were listlessly flipping through their ledgers.

"The shopkeeper, stay here." Tang Qing took a tael of silver in his hand, walked to the door of the only small inn, and knocked on the counter.

The shopkeeper had already fallen asleep lying on the counter, and could still hear soft snoring. Tang Qing just started calling twice, but there was no response at all, and finally had to slam the counter hard.

"Ah!" The shopkeeper was awakened by the sound made by Tang Qing, and his body trembled in shock. After seeing Tang Qing clearly, he calmed down and asked slowly: "The guest officer lives in the shop?"

The shopkeeper can't really be blamed, there are very few people in this small town, usually the occasional people come and leave on the same day, there are not many people staying in the store, and he, who has nothing to do all day long, starts to doze off at dusk.

Tang Qing looked at the shopkeeper amusedly, if someone with malicious intentions came in and ransacked the shop, he might not wake up.

"Stay at the store." Tang Qing put the money on the counter, and then registered his name. He didn't say how long he would stay. Anyway, if there is not enough money, the shopkeeper will come to remind him. If there is more money, the better.

Since there were no people in this shop all the year round, only the shopkeeper and his wife were running the inn, and every shop waiter was the shopkeeper who led Tang Qing to the guest room.

This room is probably the best one in the entire inn, because the second floor has a window at this location, and you can have a panoramic view of the whole town.

Tang Qing opened the window and took a closer look at the town. Apart from the tea shop and the inn, there was also a wine shop. The wine shop was brewing wine, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing, making the whole town look a little drunk.

There are still a few stalls that are being cleaned up on the street, and there happens to be a stall selling sesame seed cakes that has not been closed yet.Tang Qing happened to be a little hungry. He hadn't eaten anything warm after a busy day, so he went downstairs to buy three pancakes, ate them one bite at a time, and went back to his room to rest.

In the middle of the night Tang Qing got up again, entered the space and continued to pack food.The flow rate in the space is faster than that outside, and the food doesn't look like new, so Tang Qing is not afraid of others' suspicion.

As for the wharf, he will write a letter to Cheng Minghai tomorrow, asking him to send some ships over indirectly, so that the boats at the wharf come and go, and it looks like it is very busy, so that others will think that the things are delivered by boats. What came, was shipped away.

Anyway, this place is remote, and the people who come here are all from Cheng Minghai. Cheng Minghai mainly goes to the south, but this side is Beihai.After loading the goods, leave, and no one will come to ask about this.

The next day, Tang Qing dragged his exhausted body to write a letter to Cheng Minghai, and continued to work on the warehouse. There were still a dozen warehouses waiting for him to work.

Coincidentally, it was raining again, and Tang Qing was drenched in water when he went back.

"Why did you get soaked like this?" Fang Lian, the shopkeeper's wife, couldn't bear to see Tang Qing coming in drenched, and said, "It's a good thing I boiled a pot of hot water, you take it to wash first, so as not to catch a cold It’s not easy if you get wind and cold this summer.”

"Then I would like to thank Aunt Fang." Tang Qing didn't pretend to refuse. He is suffering now, and there are a lot of things waiting for him to do, so he can't get sick.

After washing up, I prescribed some medicine for myself. After taking it, I fell asleep comfortably. When I woke up, it was pitch black outside the window again. Here comes Ray.Fortunately, after taking the medicine, my body still had a slight fever, but it didn't hinder anything.

Tang Qing got up again and took some medicine. After calculating the delivery of the letter and sending the boat over, it would take six or seven days to go back and forth. Now that it is raining so heavily, the road is probably not easy to walk, and there may be a delay of one or two days.

He has to fill up more than a dozen warehouses in these ten days by himself, and it is very hard to think about it.Tang Qing didn't dare to delay, so he flashed into the space and went to work again.

The rain hadn't stopped for three days, so Tang Qing didn't go to the warehouse for these three days. He could only stay busy in the space, and only went out of the room to eat at the restaurant.

"Young man, you've been bored these few days." Fang Lian watched Tang Qing being bored in the room for several days, thinking that he might not be able to go out because of the rain this day, and he was too bored, so she started a conversation with Tang Qing Come.

There are few people in the town, and even fewer people when it rains. Except for these three shops, there is not a single stall in the town. Except for a man who just came to drink a pot of wine in the rain, there is no one at all.Tang Qing thought about the biscuits he ate a few days ago, and he still missed it. Unfortunately, it was raining and no one else could come to set up a stall, and he didn't know if he would come again after the rain stopped.

Hearing Fang Lian's question, Tang Qing didn't know how to answer her, so he replied with a dull "hmm"

Seeing Tang Qing's unhappy appearance, Fang Lian knew that young people like to play around the most. After being confined in the room for two days, she must have panicked, and said with a smile: "I don't think you have any friends, and there is no one around you who can talk Yes, if you don't mind chatting with your aunt."

Tang Qing has also become familiar with the shopkeeper's couple these few days, and knows that they are also kind-hearted. It happened that the shopkeeper was going to the city to do some errands a few days ago, and Tang Qing entrusted him with the letter to Cheng Minghai.

"That's fine. Aunt Fang, something new has happened recently." After Tang Qing finished eating, he thought about being tired for a few days, so it's good to take a rest, and it's suspicious to be bored in the room all the time.

Fang Lian is middle-aged, the age who loves to gossip the most. It rained for a few days and no one came to chat with her. She was also very bored. Tang Qing was willing to listen, so she became interested and said: "Young man , you know about the drought in the north, right?"

"Yeah, I know." There were floods in Lincheng and drought in the north. Rumors were spreading that today's emperor was not upright. Even God couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to punish the people of Liming.

Tang Qing laughed it off, if it was really the emperor's fault, he would have been killed by a lightning strike, what to do to save the common people, it was not because some ignorant common people were provoked by people with ulterior motives.

"Let me tell you, the north is not only drought but also plague. Fortunately, we are still far away from there, otherwise it will be chaotic." Fang Lian spoke cautiously, and there was a sense of fear in her expression. , When it comes to the word plague, he is even more panicked, and his tone is a lot heavier.

Tang Qing frowned, lowered his head and murmured, "Plague?"

"That's right, it's the plague. Why did you say that this is a good thing? God doesn't give people a way to live. They just escaped a catastrophe, and a catastrophe is imminent. Hey, Bodhisattva bless and bless those suffering people. "

Fang Lian sighed as she spoke, and finally put her hands together, worshiped the Bodhisattva, and prayed for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so that people's sufferings would be less.

The north has been plagued by plague, so what about Lincheng?If measures are not taken in time after the flood, it will be easier to get the plague. Why is there no news about Lincheng?Or is there a cure for the plague in Lincheng?

No, no, if there is a way to cure the plague in Lincheng, why would the north not know it, causing a large number of plague outbreaks!If the plague would not have spread to this small town if it was not serious, and even such a remote place was known, then one can imagine how terrifying the plague would be.

But the only thing Tang Qing couldn't figure out was why there was no plague in Lincheng, unless they blocked the news, but they didn't hear anything about such a big event, and the secrecy work must have been done too well.

Tang Qing lowered his head and felt a little uneasy all the time, trying to answer something, suddenly he thought, the news was blocked so covertly, it must be some improper means used by the government.

Tang Qing's face turned pale. If they really used some method, it would be fine if it worked, but if it didn't work, the consequences would be unimaginable once the plague spread.

Lincheng is not far from Wenshui County, nor is it close, and he doesn't care about other people's lives.If it spreads to Wenshui County, what will Zhou Qing and the others do?Tang Qing's complexion became more and more ugly when he thought of the family, it seems that it is better to make plans early.

"Why is your face so ugly, do you have relatives in the north?" Fang Lian asked God and prayed to Buddha, turned her head to see Tang Qing's pale face, and asked worriedly.

Tang Qing shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Where do I have relatives in the north, but I was frightened by this plague. I don't know how many people will die this time."

Fang Lian also sighed. As a woman, she can't do much except pray to God and worship Buddha here. When she first learned about this matter, she didn't fall asleep for several nights. She was also afraid in her heart. What if the plague comes over.

Hearing that Tang Qing said he was afraid, thinking that he was also an elder, he comforted Tang Qing: "Don't be afraid, the north is far away from us, no matter what you say, it won't come to us."

It's just that she doesn't know the bottom line in her heart. There are many people coming and going in the boats in Miaocheng. It is not impossible to bring one or two people who have the plague.

"Now I can only think like this." Tang Qing sighed, he is still far away from Zhou Qing and the others, even if he has any ideas, he can't do anything, so he has to be anxious. Do things well.

Tang Qing talked to Fang Lian, and went back to the house to work again. This time, it was different from the past. Now that he wanted to go home early, he was full of energy.After loading the food, he also specially prepared a warehouse of medicinal materials, just in case.

After seven days of rain, it finally stopped. Tang Qing hurried to the warehouse and filled the warehouse with food. Since there was an extra warehouse of medicinal materials, Tang Qing filled the other warehouses to the brim.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the boat to come.Tang Qing had been idle for three days, and in these three days he finally had time to wander around the town.I climbed to the opposite mountain to play, also went fishing for sea fish, and picked up a lot of shells and conchs, and planned to take them home as a souvenir for Zhou Qing and the others.

It's just that he has something in his heart, he is always dying when he plays, he loses the interest he had when he came here, and he is a little careless in everything he does.

On the evening of the tenth day, the three boats came slowly. Tang Qing was afraid that they would arrive in the middle of the night and could not find anyone, so he squatted here for a whole day, thinking that he was destined to feed mosquitoes tonight. It was caught up when it was almost dark.
