Chapter 7: Military Recruitment.

Mrs. Xiao was worried that her eldest son would be upset, so she took the opportunity to say: "Your father and your brother wanted to hire a boat to go back, but they couldn't get out..."

  Xiao Youfu knew in his heart that if he really wanted to go back, he must be able to think of it. The one who comes up with a solution.

  The reason why the parents did not go back was because Mrs. Liu and her three granddaughters were left in the village. They were afraid of being infected by the disease and were reluctant to spend too much money.

  It's because it's not decent enough to tell people about his work.

  It was also because Xiao Yougui and Wu had three grandsons.

  Therefore, his parents favored the second child's family, and he didn't care.

  He has his own wife and daughter to protect.

  "It's okay, we are all fine!" Xiao Youfu asked Ms. Liu and her daughters to follow him: "They are all scared. I will take them to the hospital first to let the doctor check their pulse, so that they can feel at ease."

  He also sees a lot of warmth and kindness in people . When my mother and siblings saw their family, they were both happy and surprised.

  They must be afraid that they might also catch the disease.

  So he simply told him to see a doctor, so that he could stay there for two days so that they would not become suspicious.

  Mrs. Xiao personally took their family there.

  When they arrived at the door of the medical center, two government officials stopped them with vigilant scabbards and asked: "Stop, which one of you is sick? Is anyone with a fever?"

  Xiao Youfu didn't expect that the town had already launched such a strict investigation, and he felt uneasy. I have a good feeling that this epidemic will become more and more serious.

  He hurriedly said: "Sir, there was a thief in my house. I was beaten by the thief before I came to the doctor. Please forgive me."

  He was tall and looked strong. Fortunately, he had good features and had a female family with him. , otherwise the yamen officer might draw his sword directly and strike first.

  One of the yamen servants motioned for him to follow him: "Let me see the wounds first!"

  Xiao Youfu followed him into an empty room, and simply took off his clothes to show him some bruises after being beaten.

  "Okay." The yamen servant also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys go in?"

  Xiao Youfu took the opportunity to give the yamen servant a penny and asked in a low voice: "Sir, is there something important going on in our town?"

  Be serious. The disease was too serious, so he decided to prepare the medicine and find a way to leave the town as soon as possible.

  Anyway, those luggage wrapped in oil paper haven't been unpacked yet?

  Seeing that he was so righteous, the yamen officer was willing to say a few more words: "There are too many people in the county who have contracted the disease and there are not enough medicinal materials. They have come to our place to seek medical advice in the past two days."

  "Sir, sir . Let us guard the entrance of the Sixth Medical Center..."

  Xiao Youfu understood from his words that the epidemic in the county is more serious now and there is a shortage of medicinal materials.

  He was glad that he did not go to the county seat, but came to the town first.

  When they entered, there were not many patients inside, and they were very wary of anyone coming in, fearing that they would be infected.

  The doctors attending the consultation also tied their mouths and noses with blue cotton cloth.

  After asking the doctor who was attending the consultation to take my pulse one by one, he prescribed medicine to replenish the body, as well as bruises and oil.

  Xiao Youfu leaned close to the doctor and whispered: "Can you please doctor, please prescribe me some antipyretic medicine, just in case."

  In the past few days, the doctor had seen many customers who came to buy medicine, and he said calmly: "A pair of The medicine costs 800 yuan. If you want some medicine, just go to the counter and grab it."

  Mrs. Xiao, who originally wanted to buy two medicines for prevention, took a breath: "Did you hear that right? A hundred dollars of medicine?"

  Xiao Youfu was not surprised. Now that the epidemic is prevalent, the price of medicine must have increased.

  A few days ago, he grabbed medicine from the county medical center and already asked for 600 yuan for a pair of medicines.     "I want six sets of medicine, as well as a bottle of Muxiang Shunqi Pills, Baohe Pills..." Xiao Youfu reported a bunch of medicine names: "There are also Jinchuang Medicine and Dieda Oil. Please give me an extra bottle."

  The accountant called . Abacus: "A total of twelve taels and twenty-three cents."

  Mrs. Xiao next to her felt very distressed: "Boss, why did you buy so much? You have to work so much money in vain for more than half a year."

  Besides, money is money now . It's not easy to make money, but I always feel that having more money in my hands will make me feel at ease.

  Xiao Youfu also got nearly thirty taels of silver for nothing, so he was so willing to give up. He pretended that he didn't hear his mother's nagging and simply took out the silver to pay.

  Xiao Xiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she and Mrs. Liu would get the disease, and then they would be embarrassed to stay at their second uncle's house.

  Now the doctor has looked at them and confirmed that they are fine, and just prescribed six tonics.

  She felt that she and Liu had saved their lives.

  However, medicine is really expensive. No wonder people in ancient and modern times are afraid of getting sick.

  Fortunately, it was summer and my second uncle's house didn't have enough beds, so they could make beds on the floor.

  Fortunately, we live together. Even if I wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night, I can still lie down and sleep when I see family members all around me.

  Xiao Xiao was fed and fed for two days and finally recovered.

  She thought about going around the streets and asking for news, and then went to Mrs. Liu to ask for some money: "Mom, please give me some money, I want to go outside."

  Mrs. Liu glanced at the heavy rain outside: " If you go out in this weather, your shoes and clothes will get wet. Do you want your dad to buy something for you? "

  Xiao Lian couldn't stand it either. In her hometown, the front and back of the house were all her own land, but In the town, there are only three main rooms and two wing rooms on the left and right. There are many people in the family, so it is really crowded: "Mom, dad is not fully recovered yet, I just go with my sister."

  Xiao Youfu received several sticks, I had to hold on to it at the time, but after arriving in town, all the injuries were swollen, and they are still not fully healed.

  Mrs. Liu gave them a helpless look, but still went to get the money.

  At this moment, Xiao Zhengyuan ran in panting: "Grandma, grandpa and my father haven't come back yet?"

  Xiao Youfu and Liu gave birth to three daughters.

  Xiao Yougui and Wu gave birth to three sons.

  The eldest son, Xiao Zhengyuan, is sixteen years old this year. He almost passed the Tongsheng test the year before last. His family has high expectations for him. He is asked to study in the academy in the next town, and they all live in the academy.

  Mrs. Xiao, who was picking leeks, was all smiles when she saw her eldest grandson: "They are still selling meat on the street. Today is not a day for school. Why are you back home?"

  Xiao Zhengyuan looked pale: "The academy asked us When they came back, they said that King Annan had launched a rebellion. He said that forced conscription had begun, so we should come back quickly to avoid it."

  Xiao Xiao became anxious when he heard this: "Chang'an Town is only more than a hundred miles away from Yi'an Town, so isn't it us? Isn't this safe?"

  Mrs. Xiao was even more panicked after hearing this: "What should we do? The town is not safe, so why don't we go back to Shuikou Village to hide?

  " It is convenient to hide in the mountains for two or three days.

  Xiao Xiao sighed: "Grandma, most of the people who got the epidemic have been imprisoned in their hometowns, and our village is no longer safe."

  What's more, the house at home may be burned down by a fire.

  Moreover, it is dangerous to enter the mountains in summer.

  It's dangerous to be a soldier. It's also dangerous if you encounter snakes and insects. If you're unlucky and encounter a wolf, you'll be dead.
