Plans cannot keep up with changes

Su Qiaoxiu stayed in the room by herself, embroidering a peony flower with her embroidery frame while listening to the sound of rain outside.

"Hiss" the embroidery needle accidentally pierced her hand, and blood immediately oozed out. She subconsciously looked at the embroidery frame, fortunately there was no blood on her hand, but the next moment she angrily threw the embroidery frame on the bed, looking at it angrily. If possible, she really wanted to throw it out of the window.

But she couldn't. If her mother knew she was doing this, she would never forgive her. She had paid a deposit for the item, and she had already taken most of the money in the family. If she asked for more money, she was not sure if her mother would beat her again.

I don't understand why my parents don't understand her? Even after I told them the truth, they still think she is selfish, willful, and can't distinguish between dreams and reality. But doesn't she also want to make this family better? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Su Qiaoxiu lay on the bed and started crying.

She cried and cried until fell asleep, and she appeared in her dream again. In the dream, the magistrate of Jiaocheng County was extremely busy, as if the epidemic had spread to a small town near Jiaocheng, which was less than ten miles away. Because the disease was discovered too late, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the epidemic had spread rapidly around the small town where the disease broke out. Dozens of villages were infected in just one month. If the small river where their home was located was not really located to the west of Jiaocheng, they would have been unable to escape.

The epidemic in the dream could no longer be concealed, so the county magistrate reported it and decisively asked for help from Lin County. Soon, the area east of Jiaocheng and more than 200 miles north and south was completely blocked. After more than a month of efforts, the epidemic was completely brought under control, reducing even more terrible losses. In her dream, Su Qiaoxiu saw hundreds of animals being killed and burned into a pile of debris, and the infected people groaning in pain. She saw all of this clearly in her dream.

"Little sister, little sister, wake up, wake up..." Su Qinshi gently shook Su Qiaoxiu who was sleeping.

The moment Su Qiaoxiu opened her eyes after being awakened, the clear image in her dream suddenly became blurred. No matter how hard Su Qiaoxiu tried to remember it, it was still a mess. However, she remembered the time of December, which was the only gain in the past few days.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Su Qinshi shook Qiaoxiu again. Seeing that the little sister had been in a daze since she opened her eyes, she was a little worried.

Su Qiaoxiu came back to her senses and looked at her sister-in-law, a little unhappy. If it wasn't for her sister-in-law who woke her up, maybe she could remember more. It was all her sister-in-law's fault.

"Are you okay..." Although Su Qinshi noticed that her younger sister's complexion looked a little strange, she didn't take it too seriously. After all, her younger sister's complexion had not been good in the past few days. She clearly did something wrong, but she acted as if everyone else owed her something. No wonder her second brother and his wife always used words to stab her.

Su Qiaoxiu didn't want to talk, just shook her head.

"I'm glad you're okay. The food is on the table. Eat it while it's hot." Looking at Su Qiaoxiu who didn't respond, Su Qinshi shook her head and turned to leave.

Su Qiaoxiu didn't even glance at the food on the table. At this moment, the only words in her mind were "Twelfth Month".

It is now November, which means that the epidemic in the dream will break out in a month. Calculating the time, the epidemic must have appeared by now, but she couldn't remember the name of the most important town where the disease originated. Although she can't remember it clearly, it feels very real when she dreaming. Was this a warning to her? Should she report this to the county government? Su Qiaoxiu was struggling.

But she had no evidence, and didn't even know the exact place name. Besides, how could she, a peasant girl, get the news? Even if she succeeded in reporting it, how could she make the adults believe it? These were all problems, and she needed to think about them carefully. If the dream was true, with her reminder, the epidemic would have been discovered early and Jiaocheng would not have fallen into dire straits. This would be a huge achievement. Thinking of this, Su Qiaoxiu's heart was hot again. When she becomes a hero, will her parents look at her differently and regret beating her? Su Qiaoxiu had a very good idea, but what she didn't know was that the county magistrate had already known about this matter a few days ago, and the epidemic had been brought under control in a short period of time.

…...

The rain kept falling until the second half of the afternoon and it didn't stop. Looking at the sky , I don't know if it will stop at night.

Gulan forced her son to spend the whole day in the tent learning to read, and changed his teacher to Xiang Yunjin, saying that he was too bored and wanted to find something for him to do. Xiang Yunjin smiled helplessly, but teaching the children to read could indeed help pass some time, so he did not refuse.

AnAn had almost recognized all the characters in the Thousand Character Classic. There were not many characters he didn't recognize. With Xiang Yunjin's efforts, he finished learning the characters in half a day. The little guy can already recite the entire Thousand Character Classic fluently, and has no problem recognizing it, but it is a bit difficult for him to be able to write it all.

But this is also very impressive. After all, the little boy is only five years old. A copy of "Thousand Character Classic" has so many characters and is so complicated. Gulan feels that even when she was a child, she could not do it. Hearing her son's fluent recitation, Gulan was delighted and promised him a delicious dinner.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yunjin's mouth curled up. The taste that this guy said was delicious must be right.

It's just that plans can't keep up with changes, and accidents often come so quickly. After memorizing the book and recognizing the words, AnAn, with her mother's permission, took advantage of the lighter rain and went to look for Tiedan with Daya and Erya wearing a bamboo hat.

Gulan moved a stone and sat at the entrance of the tent, feeling the cold wind mixed with rain. Not to mention it would be really cold if I hadn't put on more clothes. As autumn arrives, every autumn rain brings a chill. I'm afraid the temperature will drop by a few degrees after this rain.

Xiang Yunjin also followed Gulan's example and sat at the entrance of the tent, sitting on a wooden stake taken down from the carriage. With a pair of ugly eyes, he watched the thousands of silver threads slowly falling down, and his heart was surprisingly calm. However, this tranquility was broken by the sound of galloping horses. Xiang Yunjin's expression became a little unhappy, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from with his tight triangular eyes.

In the rain, a horse was seen running towards them quickly, and a man in tight clothes and short official boots, who looked very strong, jumped off the horse. The hand that was stretched out and the shoes made Yunjin's eyes flash, and Gulan also raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is there a doctor? Our young lady suddenly fell ill and needs a doctor." The man who jumped off the horse looked at the numerous tents and shouted in the rain, looking very anxious. He had already run for more than ten miles at a very fast speed, with the young lady's carriage following behind. He saw two villages along the way, but unfortunately he could not find a doctor either. This place was still thirty or forty miles away from Jiaocheng, and he was very worried that the young lady might not be able to wait anxiously after the round trip. So when he saw these tents, he couldn't help but turn from the road to this side, holding on to a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, after he shouted a few times, no one responded except for looking at him strangely. The man was immediately disappointed. It turned out that he had imagined it too well. How could there be someone here who knew medicine?
