Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1611: Siege and Pest Removal [3]

Wujin’s current situation is very similar to that of the comrade.

And there’s a small red dot on the back of Wujin’s neck, which looks like a leech attached to the hair follicle, then drilled into the blood vessel.

Damn!

Gu Jinli cursed silently; if Wujin was indeed suffocated by a leech, it would be a problem. Ancient times didn’t have medical equipment for surgery.

"Wujin, don’t be afraid. Sister-in-law Qin will definitely cure you. Where did you find the sparrow? Tell me the place, and Sister-in-law Qin will send someone to check." Gu Jinli asked, wanting to beat these little brats. Were you starving? Picking up sparrows to eat, and she instructed: "Speak slowly, don’t hurry, don’t breathe too fast."

Kid, if you breathe too fast and send the bug in your trachea into your lungs, even immortals can’t save you.

Niu Wujin listened and obediently breathed slowly. Once he felt less uncomfortable, he revealed the location: "It’s in the backyard of the Old Zhao Family next door~"

Gu Jinli: "..."

Knew you were mischievous, didn’t expect you would climb over the wall to the neighbor’s house to pick sparrows. If the people from the Old Zhao Family found out, wouldn’t they take you three to the porch and make you recite ’In the beginning of humanity’ for a day?

Indeed, the Old Zhao Family next door is a Scholar’s Family, and Scholar Zhao is lucky, having not squandered the inheritance despite studying hard all his life.

However, Scholar Zhao has a habit of lecturing people, and doesn’t like soldiers. When he found out that the relatives of soldiers had moved into the Old Madam Gao’s separate yard, he recited sour poems under the wall next door for several days, scolding them for being too vulgar.

"Xiao Ji, let Feng Jin go to the Zhao Family for a look. Take food and medicine over so they won’t keep the door closed." Scholar loves etiquette, so you must show him respect.

Gu Jinli instructed, then wrote a prescription and handed it to Ye Jingzi: "Go to our medicine stash and get these herbs. I want to make a new medicine to see if it can save Wujin."

The medicine stash is in the neighboring yard, full of herbs that they bought from outside the city before it got besieged.

"Alright." Ye Jingzi responded and immediately went to the medicine stash with the prescription.

Gu Jinli then called Sanqing and Siqing: "Let’s go, look at Daying and Erying to see if they have red dots?"

She got up and went out with people, asking Qing Pu and Qing Hui, who were examining Daying and Erying’s bodies.

The two were startled, then nodded: "Indeed there are red dots. Daying seems to have three on his head. I thought he got bitten by mosquitoes, so I didn’t pay much attention."

"Erying’s is on the neck."

Gu Jinli listened, her face darkened... Erying, like Wujin, had passed out, probably because the bug blocked the trachea, Daying’s red dots were on his head, and he had convulsions, which would be tricky.

If a bug entered the brain, a typical symptom would be convulsions!

Gu Jinli thought, feeling a cold sweat on her back.

She squatted down to check Daying’s breathing, it’s smooth, but occasionally he’d twitch a couple of times.

Erying’s breathing was very weak, exhaling less than inhaling, like someone with a blocked trachea.

"Mrs. Qin, how are my Daying and Erying? You have to save them. If they die, how do I explain to Er Zuo?" Lin Erzuo’s wife held Gu Jinli’s hand.

Just after speaking, Ms. Gao Lei arrived with Nanny Gui Zhi, quickly conveying the message sent by Lei Mao: "San Lang’s Wife, you guessed correctly, indeed there’s an outbreak in the city."

"Uncle Lei Mao sent a message? Who got sick? What are the symptoms?" Gu Jinli quickly asked.

Ms. Gao Lei handed the letter to Gu Jinli, letting her read it herself.

The Great Chu’s ancient characters are hard to recognize, and Lei Mao’s writing is sloppy, Gu Jinli had a tough time reading, but she managed to understand the content: "Manager Lu and Xu San both have red dots on their wrists... One has abdominal distension, possibly internal bleeding leading to death, one fainted suddenly, unable to identify the cause."

Gu Jinli pointed at Daying and Erying to Ms. Gao Lei and said: "Their brother and Wujin have red dots, and they fell ill suddenly."

After hearing, Ms. Gao Lei also didn’t look good: "Seems like the same symptoms... You’re skilled in medicine, is there a way to save them?"

Lin Erzuo’s wife was almost crazy with fear, rushing over: "What? An outbreak for real? Mrs. Qin, you must save Daying and Erying!"

"Drag her aside, gag her, what’s the point of screaming at this time? Isn’t it chaotic enough?!" Ms. Gao Lei was very annoyed, instructing the maids she brought.

Two maids skilled in martial arts dragged Lin Erzuo’s wife aside, tied her up and gagged her.

Ms. Gao Lei looked at the women present: "Let me warn you, I am not Mrs. Qin and will not consider your soldier relatives’ status. Even if you die, I am not afraid of your men seeking revenge. Do you think your men could defeat the Lei Family’s Trading Team? You better be obedient and follow orders!"

After scolding, she reassured: "The Lei Family’s Trading Team has people, doctors, medicine, food; if we unite, not only can we fight the disease, even King Yanluo couldn’t take your lives!"

Impressive!

Gu Jinli looked at Ms. Gao Lei with a gleam in her eyes; this grandma is truly a female overlord, every word she speaks is like a leader giving orders, she has the power to control the situation.

However, she was ignored by Ms. Gao Lei.

Ms. Gao Lei looked at her displeased and said: "What are you looking at? Aren’t you skilled in medicine? Can’t you figure out what kind of outbreak this is?"

Gu Jinli, used to being scolded by elders like Third Grandma and Grandpa Wu at home, didn’t get angry at the remark: "I initially suspect that this outbreak wasn’t caused by poison but by bugs."

She explained her suspicion that some bugs might invade the human body, damaging the organs, brain, blocking the trachea, inhabiting the body, and coexisting with humans.

She also mentioned a few cases.

Ugh, ugh, ugh!

She hadn’t finished speaking, and all around came the sound of dry heaving, the women were vomiting like they were pregnant, the children had long run away, hiding at the gate not daring to come in.

Even Mrs. Kuang, who had large courage, turned pale with fright at Gu Jinli’s words, and finally rushed over to plead: "San Lang’s Wife, save Wujin, save him!"

If Wujin really had bugs living inside, what would we do later?

Gu Jinli replied: "Aunt Niu, don’t worry, I’ve already sent Jingzi to fetch the herbs, soon we will use new medicine on Wujin to see if we can expel the bug."

Then she reassured: "Bugs are just a suspicion, not confirmed, Aunt Niu doesn’t need to worry too much."

After speaking, she turned to the women, who were pale with fright: "No need to worry too much, everyone!"

However, her suspicion was confirmed.

Xiao Ji ran over and reported: "Madam, Brother Feng sent someone back reporting that the Zhao Family’s household is ill, a woman suddenly had abdominal distention. When she vomited blood, a bug came out of her mouth!"
