Mei Sanniang held a piece of thread, and the thread on her fingertips changed flexibly in her hand, changing from a small umbrella to a small flower.

At this moment, the child laughed and said: "Mom, many students in our class did not come to school."

This was something that didn't attract much attention, but when Mei Sanniang came here, she asked a few more questions.

"It's not a good harvest season recently? Why don't so many children go to school? They can't afford to go to school? Xueer, you have to know that even if my mother has no money, she will sell iron to help you study. Only knowledge can change your destiny."

This saying has been passed down for countless years. Poor children always remember that reading can change their destiny.

"Mom, no."

"Because all my classmates are sick."

"I was fine a few days ago. Everyone thought it was an excuse for not wanting to come to school, but when I asked, I learned that I was sick."

Mei Sanniang's smiling face fell instantly, and she asked nervously: "Xue'er, are you okay? Have you been infected?"

Mei Xue looked confused. She didn't know why her mother asked this.

"Mom, is this disease contagious?"

Mei Sanniang didn't know either, but if it was a common cold, if one child got sick, the other children might not get sick, but with so many children falling down, how could people not be vigilant.

"Child, tell me what symptoms those people have."

"Tell mother everything you know."

Mei Sanniang was too nervous and scared Xueer a little.

"Well... everyone has symptoms of cough, some people have sore throats and fever."

Mei Sanniang became a little uneasy when she heard this. It looked like a common cold, but everyone around her was suffering. It was probably the flu.

"Xue'er is great. Xue'er, tell mother, have you been in contact with those people?"

Mei Xue shook her head. She usually only played with Liu Tao. As long as Liu Tao was fine, she would be fine. However, in order not to worry her mother, she only said: "No, they didn't play before they caught a cold."

Mei Sanniang thought about it. She had been exposed to it, and she had probably been infected by now.

"Xue'er, I haven't gone to school recently."

"As for you, just stay at home and wait for a while before going."

Mei Xue was still young and didn't know the seriousness of the flu. She thought her mother didn't let her go to school for other reasons.

She agreed to go to school with Liu Tao, and yesterday they made an appointment to catch fish after school.

Mei Xue glanced at her mother and finally agreed verbally.

"Mom, is this a serious illness?"

It's not serious at all, but it's not serious. This flu has killed people. Someone died from coughing before. Mei Sanniang still remembers it.

"Xue'er, you are the one who feels uncomfortable when you are sick, but don't tell others that it's the flu. Others won't believe it."

From what Mei Sanniang said, a small cold seemed to have turned into a very serious illness. Mei Xue was a little scared. She also remembered that there were many missing friends in the classroom, and she felt a little scared. If it was really like her mother said,

, then she must remind Liu Tao.

"Mom, I'm going to play with Liu Tao."

As soon as Mei Xue finished speaking, Mei Sanniang immediately stopped her. She scolded: "Why are you looking for Liu Tao? You stay at home well now and are not allowed to go anywhere. Remember that this is a special period and you cannot run around."

"The flu doesn't have any eyes for you. It only picks out children like you with delicate skin and tender flesh."

"Once the flu enters the body, it begins to destroy your immune system. They will devour all the organs in the body, and then hollow you out step by step, until only the body is left."

"Flu can cause respiratory viral infections. You will be out of breath by then, and flu spreads quickly. You can see that a lot of children in your class have fallen ill."

"Our family is not rich. Your brother is still young. It doesn't matter if I get infected. But your brother is still so young. Children's immunity is not as good as that of adults. Your brother can't even walk yet. What should I do if he gets infected?

?If you don’t think about your mother, you should also think about your younger brothers at home.”

Mei Xue was stunned and nodded, "Mom, I won't go play with Liu Tao anymore."

"This is my mother's good boy."

The herbs she had collected before had been dried. There were only books in the house, not even any herbs. Mei Sanniang found it strange that Li Zhantang could take all the herbs with him after he left.

In the past, Li Zhantang didn't give medicine to his patients when he saw a doctor? Where is this medicine?

Mei Sanniang inquired one by one and almost turned the house upside down.

"How come there isn't?"

Mei Sanniang was particularly puzzled as to why there was no medicine. Where did the medicine used to treat doctors at home come from?

Seeing her mother's abnormal behavior, Mei Xue asked curiously: "Mother, what are you looking for?"

The house was only so big, and Mei Sanniang couldn't find any trace of the medicinal materials no matter where she was.

"Mom is looking for medicinal materials."

"Did you pick it before?"

Mei Xue pointed to the herbs that were drying outside the window and said, "Isn't the medicine outside?"

"Xue'er, what mother is looking for is not the medicinal material, but the medicinal material left by your father in the past. Before, your father would definitely take medicine when he saw a doctor. Where is this medicine? Mother, please look for it."

Mei Xue watched her mother rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and she started looking for them. The mother and daughter searched for most of the day but found nothing.

"Mom, did dad take everything away?"

Mei Sanniang also thought that she might have taken them all, but the journey was long and she didn’t bring some dry food along the way. Why would she bring some Chinese medicinal materials? When Mei Sanniang thought about it, she felt that the medicinal materials should be at home.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. It's not appropriate. It's gone.

Just when the two were at a loss, Mei Xue was leaning against the wall. Suddenly, soil fell from the wall. Mei Sanniang thought the house was going to collapse.

She quickly pulled Xueer forward, and then white pieces of paper were revealed on the wall. The pieces of paper in the mud wall were particularly eye-catching. Mei Sanniang stepped forward and touched it, thinking it was a poor-quality wall, but the result was exactly what she expected.

The soil on the wall fell loudly, as if it was raining heavily, and a lot of it fell.

Just as she complained, a large piece of cardboard appeared on the wall. Mei Sanniang knocked on it carefully, but she didn't expect that the back was empty.

The walls built in this era were still hollow, with nothing inside. The work of building walls really allowed people to live in them. If not, people would continue to live there, and it would be passed down from generation to generation.

"Xue'er, go outside."

After Mei Sanniang ensured that Xueer was gone, she carefully removed the cardboard and was ready to escape at any time. If she was buried underneath, it would definitely scare the child. She was still young and did not want to be buried alive so early.

The moment Mei Sanniang removed the cardboard, a large amount of dust filled the air. After the dust fell to the ground, a small wooden door appeared behind the wall. The door looked very old, and there was a yellowed note on it.

Mei Sanniang took a closer look and saw that it said: "Medicinal Materials Storehouse."

Mei Sanniang immediately became excited. She didn't expect that there was a secret door in this small home. However, Mei Sanniang regretted opening it. The door led to the ground. It was so dark below that she didn't dare to go down.

The atmosphere at home became tense for a while. Mei Xue saw there was no movement in the house outside, so she ran in and called softly: "Mom."

Mei Sanniang glanced at the child, and then her eyes fell on the small tunnel behind the wooden door. It was pitch black down there, like a large cellar, used for pickling cabbage in winter.

It was also the first time that Mei Xue saw a door inside her home, and it actually led to the underground.

"Mom, what is this?"

Mei Sanniang didn't know what it was, so she quickly asked Xue'er to light two candles.

The dark cellar became extraordinarily bright under the light of candles. Xueer stood outside the door, while Mei Sanniang walked down alone. The sound of starting to go down the stairs was particularly harsh and loud in the cellar, and was accompanied by a sense of difficulty.

The smell, Mei Sanniang couldn't describe the smell, it was very misty. Then she lit up the entire cellar with a candle. It was more like an underground room than a cellar. The moment it was illuminated, her whole body was tense.

Tightened up.

The room was about twenty square meters, and it was filled with jars of various sizes, with yellowed notes on each jar.

Mei Sanniang bowed respectfully and muttered: "Oh Mitao Buddha."

Not to mention that she was really scared of this place, the large and small jars were even more infiltrating, and each jar was covered with paper, which looked very scary to those who didn't know.

After Mei Sanniang came closer and saw the words clearly, she let out a sigh of relief.

"ginkgo"

"Huangyaozi"

"Loquat Leaf"

Aren't these all Chinese medicinal materials? She exclaimed excitedly for a moment.

After Mei Xue heard this, she rushed down without paying attention to the road under her feet, and kept shouting: "Mother."

The sound of Mei Xue rolling down alarmed Mei Sanniang. She quickly lit the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall and then picked up Xue'er.

"What happened? Did you fall somewhere?"

Mei Xue said immediately: "Mom, are you okay?"

Mei Sanniang's eyes turned red instantly. This stupid kid had already made such a big hole in his pants, and he was still worried about her.

"Mom is fine, I found the herb."

It turns out that Li Zhantang did not take away all the medicinal materials after he left. As for the memory of the original owner, he did not have a storage place for the medicinal materials. He probably lost some of his memory after going crazy.

"Son, we will have medicine in the future."

Mei Sanniang opened a jar, and she smelled an indescribable smell. It turned out that there were lime, pepper, and the smell of some Chinese medicinal materials in the room, making it a mess.

She checked them all and found that there were at least dozens or even hundreds of medicinal herbs inside. This was truly a wealthy family.

With this thing, just selling it can be worth a lot of money. As expected, being a doctor means you are rich, and any medicinal herbs can be worth a lot.

If someone comes to see a doctor, put this medicine on the table. Cassia seeds. Isn't this a good way to get money?
