Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

When Lin He saw Li Changhui again, it was already ten days later.

In the past ten days, many people in Guanzhou Mansion have left, and many guest rooms have been vacated. Lin He and his three children also moved to a slightly spacious courtyard.

However, nothing happened in the past ten days. Except for the first day or two, which made people panic, no one paid much attention to it after that.

The only change is that the city is slightly less lively than when we first came here. Many shops under the name of Yongfeng Trading Company have also been forced to close or have been cannibalized by other peers.

On the morning of the tenth day, Lin He had breakfast and listened to his third son reading to him in the yard.

The family decided to settle down as soon as they arrived. Although the original purpose was to rest and have fun in Guanzhou Mansion, now Xiu has had enough rest but failed to have a good time.

Although there was nothing going on in the city, in line with the principle that a gentleman should not stand under dangerous walls, they still seldom went out and only occasionally walked around the inn.

As for food and drink, isn't this the prefect's order? The inn has always provided delicious food and drink, so Lin He doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Except that Li Changhui never came back, and occasionally an officer and soldier came to ensure their safety, there was almost no news.

Lin He didn't care. Nothing happened to anyone else in the city. Li Changhui must be fine. As for why there was no news about those people, it was normal.

After all, this is an era where women are not looked down upon very much. Li Changhui cares about her and respects her, so he will tell her everything and believe what she says.

But in the eyes of others, Lin He was just a vassal of Li Changhui. Even if Li Changhui said that his wife discovered something was wrong first, no one would care. They just thought that Li Changhui was trying to put money on his wife's face.

So naturally no one would tell Lin He about those specific situations.

She is also happy to be quiet. As long as the safety of the people around her is okay, she doesn't care about anything else.

A bit boring at best.

When Li Changhui came back, Lin He was basking in the sun with his eyes closed. Li An was reading to her. It was more like hypnosis than reading. Lin He seemed to be almost asleep.

Under the eaves, Li Yu was reading seriously, and in the yard there was the sound of Li Hao's fists.

Occasionally a leaf falls, adding a bit of quiet warmth to the yard.

The three children all had their backs to the door, so they did not notice Li Changhui's appearance. Only Lin He, who had his eyes closed, seemed to feel something and suddenly opened his eyes and looked over.

"Brother Hui!" Lin He looked at the person at the door in surprise, stood up from the chair with his arms raised, and quickly ran to Li Changhui's side.

"You're back! That's great. Are you okay these days? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

After saying that, he started to squeeze Li Changhui's arm. Well, it was still so strong. It seemed that he was not hungry or tired during this period.

My clothes have been changed and clean, my body still smells like soap, and my hair and face have been carefully taken care of. It seems that not only are I not hungry or tired, but I am also living well these days?

Li Changhui took Lin He's hand and squeezed it.

After being forced to separate for ten days, I realized that I couldn't eat well or sleep well. Whenever I had some free time, I was thinking about my wife and children.

But I can't come back.

It’s not that I’m being watched, it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t dare. I’m afraid that if I am infected with the plague, what should I do if I pass it on to others in my family?
So even if I wanted to, I couldn't come back until I was sure there was no sign of the plague in the city. Before going home, I washed myself clean and even changed my clothes.

Seeing that the whole family was well, especially Lin He, who was also very energetic, Li Changhui immediately felt at ease. "I'm fine. I've been living with a few doctors these past few days. Apart from the fact that there are a lot of people around, there's nothing else going on."

Lin He pulled the person in, and the three children also saw the person and came up to him, asking about the situation one after another.

Li Changhui explained one by one. After a while, several people sat at the stone table in the courtyard. Li Yu poured tea for Li Changhui, and Lin He also began to ask about the past few days.

Speaking of this, the smile on Li Changhui's face faded, and he even frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Lin He's heart skipped a beat: "Did something really happen?"

Lin He tried hard to recall that he hadn't heard anything at all in the past few days. The entire Guanzhou Prefecture was quiet. It couldn't be that something had happened. They didn't know anything, right?

Li Changhui shook his head and nodded: "It's not here, it's somewhere else."

Lin He was shocked: "Other place? Is there really someone..."

Li Changhui nodded solemnly: "Yes, the prefect of Guanzhou asked me about plague prevention in the past few days. I also learned from the prefect that when they notified other places, two counties had already fallen."

"A lot of prescriptions and medicinal materials have been sent there, and the imperial court has also sent imperial doctors there. The plague should be under control, but..."

Lin He answered: "But a lot of people died, right?"

When the plague spreads, there is an easy way to control it, which is to trap everyone in place and cut off all sources of transmission, so the plague will naturally stop spreading.

This is one of the most commonly used and most efficient means during periods of underdeveloped transportation.

Because of Lin He's sudden sixth sense, they were able to successfully resolve the possible plague, but elsewhere, they might not be so lucky.

Then Li Changhui talked about the news he had received from the prefect in the past few days.

When they sent out the summons, they found out that Guanzhou Mansion was located in a remote area and was already the furthest place those people could attack.

Those plague-bearing corpses all arrived at the same time, via cargo ships from Yongfeng Trading Company, to five places in the county near the dock.

The reasons are all the same, they are all returning fallen leaves to their roots and supporting their souls to return home. After these corpses were transported to the place, they began to think of ways to place the corpses in places with a large flow of people.

Moreover, the time they selected was also very consistent. They should have calculated the final docking time of the cargo ship in advance. They almost always released the corpses that had been hidden for an unknown period of time on the day when the cargo was shipped from Yongfeng Trading Company.

The attack should be a simultaneous attack and a surprise idea.

However, Lin He noticed it in Guanzhou Prefecture and stopped the disease in time to burn the body. Other places were not so lucky.

"But fortunately, the reminder was timely. The county closest to Guanzhou Prefecture immediately controlled the infected people and took medicine. Most of them are fine. But the other three places a little further away, I didn't know at first. The plague killed tens of thousands of people in total.”

Li Changhui said it in a sad tone, and Lin He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. Tens of thousands of lives would be lost at the drop of a hat.

"Then who did these things? Have you found out?"

Now only the culprit who has been caught can comfort the deceased. (End of chapter)
