I was watching TV boredly at home. Suddenly I heard a "bang" at the courtyard door, which startled me. Even the black tiger was so frightened that it barked wildly.

I quickly got up and saw that Aunt Wenying had opened the door and hurried in.

Before I asked her anything, I heard her asking breathlessly: "Do you have any pumpkins at home?"

I was very surprised why she asked like this. I quickly asked her: "Auntie, what are you doing with pumpkin?"

She calmed down and said, "You still don't know?"

I was even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, so he opened his eyes wide and asked, "What do you know?"

She: "Oh, I said you are a scholar. Why are you so ill-informed? This will kill you!"

I looked at her with confusion on my face and repeated her words softly: "Someone is going to die. Who is going to die?"

She: "There are rumors everywhere that babies who took the 'Two Pills' medicine are going to die! Many babies have died in other provinces outside. Well, you don't know yet. They will die here soon."

"

Me: "Is the 'Liang Pian'er' medicine the kind of anti-insect medicine distributed in schools?"

She: "Yes, yes. It's this medicine. In the past, the school gave out 'Jianjian Candy'. But now, for some reason, the school gives out 'Two Pieces'. People are spreading it everywhere that this medicine is from Japan."

It was researched by the Japanese Army 731. I don’t know how I bribed the traitors in the school and distributed this medicine to students across the country. This is going to be over.”

Me: "I probably understand what you mean. It's just now that it's spread everywhere that a student who took the 'two tablets' anti-worming medicine died. So what does this have to do with pumpkins?"

Aunt Wenying rested for a while and no longer panted. "Everyone is spreading the word that experts from our country have found the 'antidote'. It just needs to use pumpkin, mung beans and licorice, boil it together with water and drink it."

This poison has been cured."

Me: "Oh. I don't have any pumpkins at home. I cut them all and cooked them for the pigs before the Chinese New Year."

Her: “Where are the mung beans and licorice?”

I do not have either."

When she heard this, she quickly turned around and ran out. As she ran, she said, "You should hurry up and look for it! Otherwise, everyone will know the news soon and they will rush to buy it. You won't be able to find it."

I don't believe it. It must be a "rumor". Why didn't the "News Network" mention this? I didn't take it seriously and continued to watch TV in boredom.

After a while, Xiao Linyin also came to my house.

I hurriedly asked her to sit down.

She asked me mysteriously: "Muyi, did you hear anything?"

I shook my head and said, "I didn't hear anything."

She looked at me in shock: "There are rumors everywhere that people are going to die. Don't you know?"

Me: "Oh. Are you talking about the 'two pieces' thing?"

Her: "Yeah."

Me: "Do you believe it?"

She said: "I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist."

Me: "This matter was not mentioned in the 'News Network'. It must be a 'rumor'."

She: "Believe it or not. I say it's better to believe it. Even if it's fake, there's nothing wrong with eating it. But if it's true, it's life-saving. You may not have eaten it yourself."

"Two slices," but your two younger brothers are both studying in school. The school must have given them food. If something happens to you, how will you explain it to your parents? When they left, they took the two younger brothers with them.

I gave it to you properly, don’t you think so?”

Hearing her say this, I really became nervous.

She: "I still have an old pumpkin at home. I'll cut a piece for you later. But I don't have mung beans and licorice at home. Let's go look for it separately."

Me: "Okay."

Before I finished speaking, she ran out. Aunt Wenying told me that I didn't think it was okay. When Xiao Linyin came to talk, I started to feel a little nervous about this matter.

Just as he was about to lock the door and go out to see the situation, Xiao Linyin came running around in a hurry again, but he had an extra pumpkin in his hand.

I hurriedly said: "You don't have to be in a hurry to get it. It's so close. It won't be too late for me to come to your house to get it in the afternoon."

She: "It will be afternoon soon. I ran back and my old lady was chopping pumpkins. She wanted to chop the pumpkins and distribute them to her sons' homes. If I hadn't thought about it, I would have snatched this piece for you. I'll wait for you.

By the afternoon, all the residue will be gone."

I felt nervous, oh! Why is it so serious?

He quickly took the piece of pumpkin and said "thank you" repeatedly.

She said: "You're welcome. Go find the other two quickly." After saying that, she ran away again.

After she left, I quickly put the small piece of pumpkin into a big bowl, then took another big bowl and closed it, then carefully took it to the cupboard and put it away.

He quickly locked the door and went out.

Oh my god! The people on the road have gone crazy, everyone is running, shouting, and making trouble.

It felt like some kind of "catastrophe" was about to happen. I felt extremely nervous for no reason.

My mind started to heat up. I couldn't help but follow the crowd and asked them where they were going.

One person kindly said to me: "Go to the hospital. The hospital has licorice."

I suddenly realized it. That’s it! There must be licorice in the hospital. Everyone rushed to the hospital like a tide. The hospital was packed to the brim for a while.

I can't squeeze in anymore. People inside can't squeeze out either.

Everyone was squeezing, pushing, shouting and shouting. You pushed me and pushed me to the ground. Some people even quarreled and cursed.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "The licorice is gone. The licorice is gone."

The crowd instantly became restless.

Suddenly I heard someone crying loudly: "Robbing people, robbing people... Beating people to death, beating people to death..."

It turned out that when the people who were blocked outside heard that there was no more licorice, they started to grab the people who were blocked inside and couldn't squeeze out the licorice they bought.

The scene immediately got out of control. The crowd went crazy.

I was so frightened that I quickly backed away from the noisy crowd. I also started to get scared.

I immediately ran to Dr. Hu's house in Qiaotou.

When I ran to the door of Dr. Hu's house, I saw some people were downcast. Some were cursing and exiting his clinic. The people who exited shouted to the people who had just ran over like me: "

Stop running, stop running. It’s all gone. It’s all gone.”

What's wrong with this? I'm probably afraid that the whole county will be like this. What should I do? What should I do? I felt that my emotions were also infected by this rolling flow of people. I started to become flustered, restless, and upset.

…

But think about it calmly. No, it seems that this situation is indeed "very serious". You can't give up so easily, you have to find some way to find some licorice. This is the "antidote" to "saving lives".

My mind was spinning rapidly. I suddenly thought of a person. Yes, I was going to find him—Uncle Mu, the wooden doctor at Shangtang's "Bone-Separating Doubu". There was wind on my feet, and I ran quickly towards his clinic.

This nearly one-kilometer journey actually drove me to "half death". Finally, I reached the door of his clinic. I saw a dark crowd of people still surrounding the door.

Uncle: "Folks, all the licorice here has been sold out. I'm sorry for everyone. Please go back! This happened so suddenly. I don't know if it is true or not. Drinking licorice boiled in water can relieve coughs, but

It requires three parts of the poison. Don’t drink too much licorice water. For those who haven’t bought it, think of other ways. You can share a little with those who have bought it, or you can go to the county town. Go to other hospitals.

Check out other clinics. Also check out those 'herbal medicine doctors'. Try to act as quickly as possible."

The crowd suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts.

The uncle saw me. "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown so tall."

Me: "Uncle. Thank you."

Uncle: "I see your feet are recovering well. Will there be any problems when you grow up?"

Me: "There is no problem. Just like normal people."

Uncle: "What about weather changes?"

Me: "Weather changes have no effect."
