Grandpa is not called Cuihua

Chapter 55 The Plague Spreads

Got it— got it—

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the cicadas are lying on the trees and crying weakly, and people who are exposed to the sun don't want to go out at all.Su Mo sat in the bamboo building to enjoy the cool air. In front of him was a pot of brewed scented tea, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

The last batch of cold melons was about to be picked, and the second sister wrote again, saying that the Imperial College in Beijing would be accepting new students in two months, asking herself if she had made a decision.

Zhou Wenqiu, who was originally regarded as the biggest hidden danger by Su Mo, made him look at him differently. Even now that he has been reduced to living in a ruined temple, he has never come to look for Osmanthus fragrans.From this point of view, although this person is bad, he is not completely hopeless...

"Little brother, it's not good, it's not good—"

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from afar, accompanied by Lanhua's panicky shout, the sharp tail trembled slightly.

Su Mo stood up all of a sudden, walked outside quickly, and frowned unconsciously.After several years of experience, Lanhua has rarely been so flustered, not knowing what happened again.

As soon as he stood still at the door, he saw Lan Hua rushing over, his face was sweaty and his face was extremely pale.

"Mother, mother, she fainted suddenly!" Lan Hua gasped for a few times, and then slowly calmed down. Seeing her younger brother's calm face, her heart gradually calmed down.Su Mo's medical skills may not be known to others, how could she not know?With my little brother here, my mother will be fine...

"Maybe it's heat stroke, the weather is too hot lately—"

Su Mo let go of half of her heart, followed Lan Hua and walked quickly towards the house, not forgetting to comfort her.

"It wasn't heatstroke, a dozen people in the village suddenly passed out, and some said it was the plague!"

Speaking of this, Lan Hua's voice raised unconsciously, with obvious fear.Plague, people talk about it, it is contagious, and many people will die every time!

Su Mo's complexion also changed a little, and her pace quickened, almost running back.The S virus that he experienced before crossing still left a deep impression on him. When he went out, almost every family wore a mask and everyone was in danger. Scene after scene was rewound in his mind.

On the way home, people fainted one after another. Su Mo found that all of these people were pale, sweating constantly, and their bodies twitched intermittently. Fortunately, there was no shock, and they felt a little more at ease.The only thing that comforts him is that it is not the plague, these people will not be in danger for the time being.But it doesn't mean that the situation is not serious. If they don't get medical treatment as soon as possible, they will only survive for three days.There is also the source of the disease, which must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more and more patients.

"Mother's condition is similar to theirs, little brother, can you heal her?"

Seeing more and more people fainting, even knowing Su Mo's superb medical skills, Lan Hua was still a little uncertain.She is good at managing accounts, but when it comes to such a life-and-death matter, she is still no different from an ordinary girl.

Su Mo didn't answer right away, he had to see Xiu Niang to make a conclusion, but he didn't know, in Lan Hua's eyes, he felt that the matter was serious, and his heart was raised in his throat, so he didn't dare to ask further .

Hurrying back home, when Su Mo opened the door curtain and entered the house, the whole family immediately cast their gazes over, and automatically gave way to him.

After a lot of reading, hearing, and asking, Su Mo took up a brush and wrote down a prescription for Su Gui to grab the medicine. For the first time, he was so grateful that he had learned medical skills and was able to personally bring Xiuniang back from the gate of hell—after getting along for the past few years, he Really regards himself as a member of the Su family, Xiuniang has long been an indispensable existence in his life.

"Third sister, go and hug a cold melon, remove the flesh and leave the skin, boil the melon skin for half an hour and give mother water to drink."

After Su Mo finished speaking, her brows frowned unconsciously. Just now, she was only focused on seeing the doctor, but she didn't think much about it, but now there is another troublesome thing.

"I'm going right now!"

Orchid opened the door curtain and ran out. There are still a few cold melons picked yesterday, so I don't have to waste time picking them.

"Little brother, what's wrong? Could it be mother...?"

Osmanthus fragrans has always been careful, just now when Su Mo frowned, her heart lifted up after she let go.

"It's not my mother's business. When I came back, I saw many people fell ill. I'm afraid there will be many more in the future."

Su Mo waved his hand, thinking about how to say what to say next, he already had a vague idea in his heart, but he didn't know if everyone agreed or not.

"As long as the brother and sister's disease can be cured, other people just need to follow suit?"

Su Cheng looked at his nephew suspiciously, isn't this a simple truth?Is there something hidden in it?

"Is it true that melon rind is needed for all diseases?"

Osmanthus fragrans' thoughts immediately turned to the cold melon, seeing what the younger brother did just now, it is likely to be like this.

After everyone mentioned it like this, everyone in the room turned around. As a result, the demand for this cold melon will increase greatly, and everyone will even have to buy it for medical treatment.what does that mean?As a businessman with some experience in the world, Su Cheng first realized that this would be a great opportunity to make a fortune.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and it is a great good thing!

When Su Gui came back from the town to grab the medicine, his expression was a little dignified, and he didn't even bother to eat, so he called the whole family together.

"I thought, we've made a lot of money now..." He rubbed his head, only looked at the ground, and continued, gritted his teeth, "I want to share the rest of the cold melons."

"..."

For a while, there was silence.

"I agree with Dad's idea."

Su Mo was the first to chime in. He couldn't watch so many people die, and it was still under the condition that he had the ability to treat them.Maybe he is a little selfish, but it is far from being indifferent.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, and followed suit: "This - you can do it as you see it!"

The two heads of the family and Su Mo have said so, and the others naturally have no objections, but this cold melon cannot be taken out by the Su family in an open and honest manner. After everyone discusses it, it is still better for the Chang family business group to come forward .

Zhang Guanshi agreed immediately, and he had to spread the matter to the capital. The source of the disease has not been found out, and the cold melons of the Su family are far from enough. In this way, the Chang family business group also has to make a decision-it is to take the opportunity to send it out. Whether it is righteous wealth or generous assistance, this is not something that a steward can decide.

Despite the unbearable heat outside, the Chang family's study room is cool and pleasant. There are chilled cold melons on the table. It is difficult for ordinary people to be so "luxury".

"Hao'er, you—"

Chang's mother went to the study to see her son in person under the pretext of giving lotus seed soup. When she saw Chang Hao holding a letter with a more gloomy expression than usual, she kept her mouth shut when she wanted to persuade him.With a sigh, he put the bowl on the table, but did not leave immediately, and pulled a chair to sit opposite him.

Chang Hao read the contents of the letter very carefully, but when someone was mentioned, it took an extraordinarily long time, and the haze in his eyes became thicker and thicker.

"The girl from the Li family I mentioned to you a few days ago has both good looks and good looks... There is no way to delay it any longer, you should at least agree, and let parents rest assured..."

Chang's mother knew that talking about it would only make her son unhappy, she would not have forced the marriage before, but now - she is doing it for the good of her own child.

"Then follow your mother's will!"

Rubbing the letter repeatedly with his index finger, Chang Hao said slowly, he also knew that there were some things that couldn't be compared to the past.

"well……"

Seeing her increasingly depressed son, Chang's mother said with tears in her eyes.After standing up from the chair, she still couldn't help but say something more, "Hao'er, you, go out for a walk on weekdays, don't stay in the room all the time."

This time, Chang Hao was completely silent, only the sound of flipping the pages of the account, which was even more disturbing.

He also understands that it is meaningless to persist like this, and getting married early seems to be good for everyone.

For several years, Wei Heng and Shen Qinghe, Feiyu and his brother, these examples, if he doesn't understand certain things, he is not worthy to be the head of the Chang family business group.The ridiculous thing is that I didn't understand my own heart before, but now I understand it, but it's too late.

Thinking of his friend's words, he laughed softly, but others seemed to be crying.That's right, he fulfilled his wish to make the Chang Family Merchant Group the No. [-] merchant group in the four countries. It can be said that he is also the richest person in the world. No matter how rare and rich things are, he can hold them in front of children...

What my friends don't understand is that what children care about most is never these things.Su Mo seems to value profit, but there is nobility in his bones that he doesn't know about.

In just five days, the stock of cold melons in the Changjia Merchant Group is about to run out, and the source of the disease has not yet been found.Su Mo walked on the village road, holding a bamboo umbrella, but still couldn't block the scorching sun.Occasionally, a piece of fiery red flowers comes into my eyes-in such a hot weather, it is always as beautiful and delicate as ever.

Last year, we couldn't see such a moving scene. This spring, this kind of flower species was accidentally spread from outside the region. This kind of flower is extremely vigorous. Even if most of the branches and leaves are eaten off by cattle and sheep, it is not easy to die.

Su Mo sat down under a big tree with luxuriant foliage, only then did he feel a shade of shade, leaning against the tree trunk, unintentionally watching the red petals drifting by in the water, his thoughts gradually dispersed.

The villagers who took the medicine got better soon and did not relapse.In some villages, several members of a family all fell ill, and some families were all safe and sound. In my own family, only one person fell ill, but not many——

Su Mo sat up straight suddenly, and an idea flashed in her mind—could it be food poisoning?

However, the people in the village have lived here for many generations, and the food is basically the same. Why was it okay before?

What is it that poisons so many people?Also, everyone usually eats together, so why is it that only my mother is sick?

Su Mo's eyes suddenly lit up. Xiu Niang must have eaten something else—maybe this is the opportunity for him to find the source of the disease.
