Chapter 678: emergency
Floods come quickly and go away even faster, but there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.
The climate is hot and cold, and the changes are too fast, so many people are infected with the wind and cold. The city is not bad, and the people in the village live in flat and low-lying places. After that, the mud on the wall began to drop slag, exposing large gaps.
The house was crumbling, and it was uncertain when it would collapse.
Li Haitang got up early every morning, took the medicine sent by Qing Hetang, and went to the nearby streets to distribute the medicine. By the way, she gave out porridge, and she gained another wave of favorability for herself.
In fact, Li Haitang was a little sad and caring when the matter of Li Tianshi came out. She was single-minded, but in the end she was suspected by others. Some people said that she lost her conscience because of money and made a lot of objections.
Before, she had never had such negative words, and she felt uncomfortable after hearing them.
This time, she also put in a small amount of money for the porridge. At that time, she considered it.
A person who does good deeds does not want to be famous in history and let others praise him, but to follow his own heart and want to help the poor from the bottom of his heart. After all, there are still so many lovely people waiting to help.
If everyone treats them indifferently, then living in such a border town, there will be no sense of happiness at all.
In the past two days, after getting along with her master, old man He, she felt that this master was the real master, with a cold face and a warm heart, knowing that she had bean buns, she couldn't leave home at night, so she took the initiative to take people to the town and the countryside to deliver medicines, and never stopped. return.
Before waiting for the master, Li Haitang waited for Ma Bihe.
Counting the time, the two are in the border town together, but one is in the city and the other is in the countryside, and they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Ma Bihe came this time and brought some eggs and duck eggs.
"Bihe, why did you enter the city?"
Li Haitang just came back and stood for a long time, with a sore back and a sore back. Just after playing with the bean bag for a while, Ma Bihe came to the door.
"By the way, the heavy rain in the past two days, are you okay at home?"
At this time of year, the fruit has not yet grown, and there are only freshly made wormwood dumplings at home.
However, the homemade wormwood dumpling is unique, with meat filling in the stomach and soft and glutinous outside. When you bite into it, the meat is full of fragrance. It can be used as a snack or to satisfy your hunger.
The fifth son likes to eat it very much, but the wormwood dumpling is made of glutinous rice. If you eat too much, it will accumulate food and it will not be easy to digest. Li Haitang only allows the fifth son to eat three, and he will not accept any more.
"The house at home is alright, but the fields have been damaged."
Ma Bihe was not too polite, after cleaning his hands, he picked up a wormwood dumpling to eat.
Although her family's big house in the country is old, the foundation was laid deep when the house was built, and the house was located on a high position, but the tiles on it were broken, causing some water to enter some rooms.
Compared with the fields, the house is not a loss at all.
Now the field is still full of potholes and water, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to break the ground for a while.
"My father is still the same. He will have a limited amount of time to be awake tomorrow, so he doesn't know anything."
The family has undergone great changes, and Ma Bihe's mother can't bear the gap, and has been ill since years ago. On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, she took her mother and younger brother to worship the Bodhisattva nearby. After returning, her mother suddenly became enlightened and her illness gradually improved.
It doesn't matter whether you have money or not, a family together is better than anything else.
Ma Bihe raised chickens and ducks at home, and the harvest was pretty good. She saved some, and said with a wry smile, "I can only give these now."
If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive the money is. After repaying the He family's money, the family still has some money, but it is not much. Most of it is her and her mother's jewelry. bottom of the box.
The family has a lot of fields, and buying seeds every year is a lot of money.
"Bi He, I really like these you gave me. It just so happens that the bean bag has teeth and I can eat supplementary food."
I can't eat enough eggs at home, and I have to buy them every once in a while, especially in the past few days, every family is busy with family affairs, and the people who used to sell local products in the city have disappeared.
Doubao likes to eat egg custard, but Li Haitang was still worried about where to buy some eggs, and when he was sleepy, he found a pillow, so Ma Bihe delivered it to his door.
"Bihe, to be honest, if you want to do business, come back anytime, after all, Yuehetang is the hard work of the three of us."
When Li Haitang mentioned Yue Hetang, he thought of He's family affairs, and Master He agreed to tell him about the ginseng, but ended up swallowing it himself.
"It's not surprising at all."
After hearing this, Ma Bihe was not surprised at all. Centuries-old ginseng is rare, and it can save lives at critical moments.
Mr. He cherishes his life. He used to be like this. He was selfish and not honest enough in business. He lost money in the past few big businesses. It was her father who helped the He family to make a lot of money money.
Ma Bihe didn't want to default on the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
After repaying the money, the two families will be settled, and no one owes the other.
The relationship between the He family and the Ma family was mediocre. She and her cousin He Yuexiu grew up together, and they could talk to each other about whatever was on their minds, so they were very close.
He Yuexiu watched Yue Hetang in Lucheng, and went out from time to time to run errands in Licheng.
When it came to repaying the debt, He Yuexiu misunderstood her parents, thinking that her father had fallen into trouble and caused a small conflict, and she didn't like to come back even more.
"Haitang, I'm here today, and I still need to find you. A few days ago, something was not right in the village."
Ma Bihe had wanted to come a long time ago, but it rained heavily and flooded the village. On the way to the city, the stagnant water had already covered the roof of the carriage, and she was delayed for two days.
In the village, she was afraid of being laughed at by others, so she didn't leave the door, and she didn't know the story until the village head knocked on the door in the middle of the night to ask for medicine.
There is a family in the village named Ma Dashan, who is an honest and responsible person. For some reason, he suddenly developed a high fever.
The family thought it was a cold, so they got some herbal medicine, but they didn't expect to see him the next day, and even vomited blood.
The village chief was enthusiastic and knocked on the door in the middle of the night, hoping to get some life-saving herbs from Ma's house.
Ma Bihe is not a stingy person. After Zhengchou came back, he didn't find an excuse to go out with the villagers, so he gave a lot of medicinal materials from his family to the village chief, including a 20-year-old ginseng.
"It sounds like the situation is not good."
Li Haitang rubbed his chin. The fever persisted and he vomited blood. There was probably inflammation in his body, and it was acute.
"Yes, on the second day, Ma Dashan disappeared."
Ma Bihe frowned. Not only that, Ma Dashan's family members had similar symptoms and were bedridden, but the villagers dared not come to the door. No matter how you look at it, the other party had a serious infectious disease. But it won't work if you don't watch it. If it gets serious, the whole village will be unlucky.
