In March of Yangchun, after a heavy rain, the climate in the north became warmer.
Li Haitang planted winter jasmine at the gate of the yard, and the green leaves had already emerged, and the remaining flower buds that had not been knocked down by the rain, bloomed almost overnight, golden.
Putting the small bean buns in the cart, Li Haitang admired the flowers at the gate of the courtyard, and talked to Ma Bihe about the strange disease that was prevalent in Majia Village recently.
"Bihe, you said that Ma Dashan's wife and children were also bedridden after his death, but what symptoms did they have?"
Li Haitang's understanding of infectious diseases is limited. In modern times, many infectious diseases have been extinct.
Such as smallpox, a vaccine has already been developed, and the information about leprosy has been seen in books, and there are some related pictures.
"It's just a fever, high fever, and vomiting blood."
Ma Bihe also didn't know the details, she heard from the village chief. It was not only Ma Dashan's wife and children who were sick, but also the people who came to help carry the body that day from the village.
Because of the hot weather, he didn't stop at home and was buried directly.
After those people went back, they only felt uncomfortable all over, and then they started to have a fever, and there were a little red blood in the sputum, so they were afraid.
"Then I learned that my master will tell me, and I will go to Majia Village to have a look."
Li Haitang plucked a winter jasmine flower, handed it to Xiaodoubao, and then focused on infectious diseases.
The clues that Ma Bihe said were too few, and she couldn't make a judgment without reading them.
However, one thing is that it is difficult to cure infectious diseases because the scope of infection is wide, and the virus is tenacious and constantly mutating.
It may only be one month, or even shorter, before the plague spreads enough to destroy the entire city.
Especially now that the war between Daying in the north of the city and the Manzi was in its final stage, the other party obviously wanted to die down. Once something happened to the border town, the Manzi would definitely take advantage of the fire to loot and revive.
"After you go back, tell the servants at home not to go out for the time being. I will send you a letter after I see a doctor."
For this, Li Haitang still planned to find his master, old man He, to make sure as much as possible. If it was really a highly contagious disease, he had to make an early plan.
"it is good."
Ma Bihe breathed a sigh of relief when he received the approval letter, and asked about Tassel's illness again. However, the camp in the north of the city is an important place, and entry is prohibited.
She wanted to come to the door, and she had to go through several notifications, which delayed Tassel's rest.
"She is weak now, and urgently needs 100-year-old ginseng as a nourishing product."
Li Haitang didn't hide anything, and said it in detail. The main reason is that the roads to the capital and the black market are blocked, and it is not easy to find genuine ginseng.
If she hadn't been wanted by Yu Wenshou, the lord of Sishui City, she would have wanted to go to the barbarians.
Although it is a place of bitter cold, it is rich in medicinal materials, and the price is much cheaper than Daqi.
"I still have one at home. I wanted to give it to my dad, but looking at him now, he probably doesn't need it."
Ma Bihe considered asking Mr. He for help, but she was no longer the eldest lady of the Ma family. Although the two families were relatives, she didn't want to take advantage and make others worry.
"No, my master evened one out for me,"
Li Haitang waved his hand, century-old ginseng is the best tonic, and it can hang your life at critical moments.
Ever since the accident in Ma's family, Ma Bihe's mother has been ill and bedridden, so it's better to keep ginseng as a spare, it will be useful sometime.
Besides, this ginseng is the dowry of Mrs. Ma's family, so it's best not to use it lightly.
"It's not a dowry either, it's from my uncle."
Ma Bihe shook his head, he really didn't need ginseng at home.
Since her mother went to worship Buddha, she suddenly realized that money is something outside her body, and there are many folks in the village who live comfortably.
A few days ago, Ma Bihe bought high-quality peanut seeds, and planned to plant half an acre of land in the backyard to plant peanuts. When the time came, the oil would be extracted, and the remaining peanut cakes would be used to feed pigs.
"I'll give you half a year's pig when I kill it in the coming year as a New Year's gift."
Ma Bihe said with joy, such a day made her feel very ordinary and at ease.
As for the century-old ginseng, it was left to her by her mother.
"Women's childbirth is a hell, and my mother just wants me to have more guarantees."
Ma Bihe smiled, but she was not engaged yet, and she didn't know how long it would take to get married and have children, so she just sent ginseng here to relieve her urgent need.
"In the future, when I'm pregnant, if you give me back a better-looking one, then I'll take advantage!"
After Ma Bihe finished speaking, she covered her mouth and winked mischievously at Li Haitang.
"Okay, you know I'm a trustworthy person, and I won't renege on my debts!"
Talking to smart people makes people feel comfortable, and Ma Bihe is such a person.
Li Haitang likes to deal with this kind of people. He is not afraid of being shrewd, but he must be kind.
"Don't send it to me. I'll go to the village and pick it up directly at your home."
There is still some distance between Majia Village and the city, so it must not be a waste of time.
Speaking of getting married, Li Haitang pointed to the next door, and Ruan Pingzhi read a sentence, and then there was the sound of the little boy reading.
Ruan Pingzhi took the fifth son with him. Although the father and son did not lack for food and drink, they had to go to the house every time to grab a meal.
As the son and young master of a rich family, Ruan Pingzhi is not an ordinary person, and he relies on his mother for help in the shoes and clothes of the family.
I don't know when this kind of days without women will end.
Moreover, there are still people around who are thinking about Chunni and Xiaohe, and Aunt Mo has torn with Chunni's mother.
"Bihe, do you really not consider getting married?"
Li Haitang couldn't help meddling in other people's affairs, it was hard for the daughters of the people around her to say anything.
Forget about Chunni, who sees things differently and wants to change, and Xiaohe, who is timid, can fall down if the wind blows, is illiterate, and has never seen the world, such a person is not a good match.
"Haitang, you know my family is like this..."
This can't add any help to Ruan Pingzhi, and it will hinder her. Ma Bihe has self-knowledge, so she shrinks back.
If it was the previous Ma family, even though they were merchants, they had a lot of money in their hands, so they wouldn't hold Ruan Pingzhi back.
Now, what can she give him?
"You think you can't give him anything, my cousin, but you can't give you anything either."
If you really like it, fight for it. After all, the present is not what it used to be, and Ruan Pingzhi won't be able to return to the capital for a short time.
In Beidi, he is not the young master of the Ruan family.
If you want to find a stepmother for the fifth son, you must have a kind heart. If you don't know the truth, Li Haitang dare not say it at all.
Little Wuzi was precocious and sensitive, and she was afraid that Xiaowazi's stepmother would be kind on the outside, but a traitor on the inside.
If this person is Ma Bihe, then there is no need to worry.
"You think you are not good enough for your cousin, but I think he is not good enough for you." This is definitely what Li Haitang said from the bottom of his heart. Now, Ruan Pingzhi is an older divorced man with a baby, so there is no market for him!
