After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

After finishing everything, Shen Ruoyan returned to her room.

Qin'er brought a plate of food to Shen Ruoyan and said, "Young madam, you have been busy for so long, please eat something quickly to satisfy your hunger."

Shen Ruoyan then remembered that she had heard about the plague after getting up today, and hurried out in a hurry without even having breakfast. After being reminded by Qin'er, she realized that she was already hungry.

Sitting back at the table, looking at the porridge and snacks on the table, Shen Ruoyan suddenly felt like she was in another world.

Although it had only been a few hours, my mood was completely different.

I really miss the peaceful days of the past.

Shen Ruoyan scooped up a mouthful of white porridge and thought about her future plans while eating it.

There are so many people in Zhoucheng, and I don’t know how many doctors there are. If a plague really breaks out, can everyone be guaranteed to be treated?

And what is going on with this plague?

Generally speaking, a major disaster will be followed by a major epidemic, but it has been so long since the Yizhou earthquake, so why is the plague spreading inexplicably?

Now that the city gates are closed, how many days can the food and medicinal materials in the city be enough for the people?

Did you report this matter to the court?

Shen Ruoyan was full of questions. It seemed that she would have to go to the government office later to ask about the situation.

After eating something, Shen Ruoyan closed her eyes and rested for a while.

After she had regained her energy, she walked slowly to the wall.

Following the formula in her memory, Shen Ruoyan touched a wall tile and with a slight push, the wall tile was pushed in, revealing the hidden compartment inside.

Shen Ruoyan took out a box from the secret compartment and pushed the wall tiles back.

Opening the box, there was a stack of silver notes and several gold ingots inside.

This was prepared by Lu Yan in advance.

There are several similar secret compartments in the house, where many important things are hidden, so that if an emergency happens one day, they can be taken out for emergency use.

On the first day Shen Ruoyan arrived here, Lu Yan took her to familiarize herself with the secret passages and hidden compartments in the home.

Lu Yan never hid everything about his family from Shen Ruoyan.

After getting married, he gave away all the property in his name.

Shen Ruoyan still remembered that when she saw the thick roster, she was stunned for a whole stick of incense, wondering if Lu Yan had given the treasury list to her by mistake?

Taking out some of the banknotes, Shen Ruoyan thought about it and felt that the silver coins might not be enough, so she took out two more gold ingots and stuffed them into her purse together.

She wanted to go to the government office in person.

Sitting in the carriage, it was surprisingly quiet outside.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but lift the curtain, only to see that the bustling streets in the past were now empty.

Under the blue sky and white sun, looking at the empty Zhoucheng, there is a very unreal feeling.

When they arrived at the gate of the government office, Liang Zhengxiu came back with a group of people. When he saw Shen Ruoyan getting off the carriage, he immediately took a step back and asked in horror: "Mrs. Lu, why are you here?"

Shen Ruoyan was about to explain her purpose.

Liang Zhengxiu seemed to have seen a ghost again and backed away, instructing others not to get close to Shen Ruoyan.

From a long distance away, Liang Zhengxiu shouted loudly to Shen Ruoyan: "Mrs. Lu, don't come over."

Then, he turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, follow me in first."

A group of people followed Liang Xiuxiu and ran into the government office.

After getting some distance away from Shen Ruoyan, Liang Zhengxiu turned back and pointed to the meeting hall in the distance, "Mrs. Lu, you go to the hall to rest first, I will come back later."

Seeing Liang Zhengxiu leaving in a hurry, Shen Ruoyan lowered her head and checked to make sure that everything was normal. She felt even more confused and didn't understand why Liang Zhengxiu reacted like this.

After sitting in the meeting hall for a long time, Liang Zhengxiu hurried over.

He changed his clothes and seemed very tired. He slumped down on the chair. When he saw the teapot on the table, he picked it up and drank three cups of tea before letting out a long breath.

Liang Zhengxiu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and suddenly realized that someone was looking at him. He turned his head and saw Shen Ruoyan sitting on the chair smiling at him, and his face suddenly turned red.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Liang Zhengxiu explained to Shen Ruoyan: "Mrs. Lu, please forgive me. I went to those households infected with the plague to investigate the situation. I was afraid that I would pass on the disease to you, so I told you to stay away from me. .”

When Shen Ruoyan heard that he went to investigate the plague, she immediately became interested and asked, "What did Master Liang find?"

After what happened in the morning, Liang Zhengxiu admired Shen Ruoyan in his heart, and immediately told him everything he knew.

It turned out that the first people in the city to contract the disease were a family of four who owned a rice noodle shop on West Street.

According to neighbors, their youngest son first started to have a fever more than ten days ago.

I thought I just had a cold, so I went to the drugstore to grab some medicine, but not long after, their eldest son also started to fall ill.

Two children fell ill at the same time, and the couple had to be busy with business and taking care of their children. They were too busy to return home, so they simply closed the shop and focused on taking care of their children.

But the child did not recover, and the couple also fell ill.

The neighbors felt sorry for them and even took the initiative to send porridge to their home several times.

This morning, someone knocked on their door with food, but there was no response for a long time.

Several neighbors gathered together after hearing the noise. After chatting with each other, they realized that they had not seen this family for several days.

Realizing something was wrong, the neighbors simply broke open their front door.

When he walked in, he found that all four members of his family were dead.

Recalling the tragic situation at that time, Liang Zhengxiu's facial features wrinkled, "Mrs. Lu, you don't know, those people were covered with red rashes, maybe because they were too itchy, and there were scratches everywhere on their bodies, as if they were not injured. It was like it hurt, so deep that it broke through the skin and flesh, and there were bloody marks all over the body. It was really terrifying."

Liang Zhengxiu wanted to continue, but suddenly realized that Shen Ruoyan was pregnant, so he quickly stopped talking and smiled apologetically at Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan tried her best to control herself not to think about the scene at that time, and continued to ask: "But just because of this, it cannot be said that there is a plague."

"Hey." Liang Zhengxiu let out a long sigh, patted his thigh and explained, "It was because the death of this family was so horrific that the news spread all of a sudden.

After someone heard about it, they said that the same thing happened to a family where they lived, and it seemed that the whole family also died.

Several people said this, and everyone panicked. Then rumors spread that there was a plague in the city. "
