"Grandpa!" Awang crawled over on his hands and knees, grabbed straw and buried his hand, "Grandpa, don't come out!"

Guobeng picked Awang up by his collar and said, "Who is it?!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" There was another series of coughs, and a man pushed away the straw and sat up slowly, "I am... a worker who treads on tartar sand."

He is an extremely thin and haggard old man.

Awang fluttered his hands and feet and howled, but Guobeng pinched his face in disgust and cried miserably.

"Old man," Nanke hesitated, "Well, why do you live in the goose shed?"

"Girl, as you can see, the old body... cough, cough, cough," the grandfather arched his back and breathed heavily for a long time before continuing, "This child should have been sent to the epidemic shack, but this child insisted on hiding. Get off me. I've caused you trouble."

The old man lowered his head deeply.

Along with him emerging from under the straw, there were several small bundles of herbs.

It turns out that Ah Wang stole the medicine to give to this old man.

Nanke picked up the knife embryo and held it in his arms: "If you are concerned about the prisoners, Mr. Miyazaki, who is in charge of the epidemic shed, is doing his duty and will definitely take good care of you."

"Girl, this flu is not as simple as you think on the surface." The old man sighed and shook his head.

Nanke couldn't help but look at the collapse of the country.

He still had a cold expression on his face, neither surprised nor surprised.

"Do you have any hidden secrets?" Nanke squatted down and asked the old man.

"That kind of disease is called evil spirit disease. The initial stage is no different from ordinary wind and cold. It can last as short as two or three days and as long as ten days and a half." The old man said slowly, "It will cause madness, hurt others and yourself, as if being evil. It’s possessed by demons, but there’s no way to break it.”

"In other words, the patients in the epidemic shack actually have two diseases?"

"good."

Nanke pursed his lips.

The scene of the thin yellow man being dragged out of the tent is vivid in my mind.

"Is it contagious?" she asked again.

"This..." the old man hesitated, "I don't know. I can't even tell whether I have a common cold or a supernatural disease."

After saying that, he suppressed his voice and coughed again.

"Girl, this kid Awang has a hard life. I watched him grow up. He doesn't have any bad habits, but he has a bit of a temper." The old man calmed down and continued, "The crime of stealing Lord Yuyu's favorite knife without authorization will be punished by I'll take it for you. Please forgive him."

Nanke frowned: "This matter is not up to me..."

"If all kinds of crimes can be exposed so easily," Guobeng picked up Nanke, "What else does the shogunate do?"

"The country collapsed..."

"Both the knife and the thief have been found. Let's go back to find Mr. Yu Yu."

He pulled her around and went out, his hand as strong as ever, like an iron ring, leaving no room for struggle.

Awang, who had regained his freedom, immediately pushed the door at the back with a bang.

"The country is collapsing," Nan Ke staggered to follow him, "Since the knife has been recovered and Awang has no bad intentions, can we not tell anyone what happened tonight?"

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished." He had a tough attitude.

"What about Awang's grandfather? The old man is already so weak. If he is put in an environment like a quarantine shed..."

"You mean to let that kid continue to steal medicine?" Guobeng turned around, "That's ridiculous..."

There was no smile on his face.

Instead, his expression froze when he saw Nanke, who was soaked in water.

"Don't you have a mouth?"

With an impatient cry, the bamboo hat came over to cover his head.

Nanke held the knife and raised the brim of his hat with one hand. He had walked out in the rain for a long time with his back to her.

Return the knife to the workshop, and then return to the medicine house. There is a lantern under the eaves, reflecting a figure leaning against the door with arms folded.

It's cinnamon wood.

Guobeng, who was walking in front, paused for a moment. Nanke took the opportunity to trot past him and spoke first: "Guimu! We went for a walk, why are you here?"

"I passed by on patrol and stopped by to take a look at Kaneo," Gui Mu looked back and forth between the two of them, "It's so late at night, you guys..."

Guimu wanted to speak but stopped.

Nanke felt guilty and laughed, scratching his head and looking away.

Oops, how should I round it?

"Oh, that's it~" After a moment, Guimu's face suddenly dawned, and he showed a mysterious smile to Nanke, "It's okay, don't worry, I won't tell others. Well, it's almost time for me to leave. The country collapses. Ah, be careful next time, don’t let the girls catch cold on rainy days.”

As he spoke, he patted Guobeng on the shoulder and winked with the corners of his mouth raised.

Nanke watched Guimu disappear into the rain, feeling uneasy: "Guimu knows where we went?"

"Hmph, who cares?" Guobeng shook the water from her hair and raised her hand to lift the bamboo hat off her head, "Don't think I will lend you a third loan, stupid woman."
