"Quarantine, quarantine, what’s quarantine? Isn’t it just not letting us contact outsiders? You all going in and out , how is that quarantine!" Guo Jianye had a hot temper. He couldn’t lose his temper with his own mother, but he wasn’t so polite with others. He’s been busy for half a day now, exhausted and hungry, not having the energy to talk about this and that. The Li Family’s wife didn’t care if Guo Jianye was angry; she was so worried about her son she couldn’t even close her eyes. She wouldn’t just leave because of a few words from him. Wherever her son was, she would be! Mrs. Guo and the Li Family’s wife were both arguing with Guo Jianye. He truly had no idea how to deal with it. If there had been two men here, he’d have beaten them up and sent them away already, but unfortunately, one was his mother and the other a woman. "Brother Jianye, what do we do?" Another hunter named Sun Erquan asked. His daughter had just begun to run a fever too. He planned to wait until tomorrow to let Beisitian take a look before bringing her over. Seeing the situation, he could imagine that when he brought his daughter over tomorrow, his wife would likely be too. He actually hoped someone could care for his daughter by her side. "No means no, what else can we do!" Guo Jianye’s stubbornness kicked in as he blocked the entrance, refusing to let them in. Mrs. Guo was quietly wiping her tears off to the side, while the Li Family’s wife wouldn’t have it. She was ready to summon people to carry her son back home, but those people were called by the village head and wouldn’t listen to her. She sat on the ground and started crying. Guo Jianye had a headache listening to the crying, quickly waving his hand, "Quickly, quickly, get An Guo’s daughter-in-law over here!" He didn’t even get such a headache when facing wild boars, yet when faced with these crying women, he was at a complete loss. Sun Erquan had only run a couple of steps before seeing Beisitian and Yang Wulang walking towards them, quickly explaining everything to them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Beisitian nodded, "Understood." The wife cried even harder seeing Yang Wulang and Beisitian arrive, seemingly intent on crying until she fainted if they weren’t allowed in. Beisitian leaped over the wife, walking up to Mrs. Guo, gently holding her hand, and said, "Grandma Guo, Sitiang wants to ask for your help." Mrs. Guo shook her head while wiping her tears, "I know you’re going to ask me to do something, you just want me to leave, right? I’m not leaving!" The old lady was particularly firm in her stance this time. Beisitian smiled, "Why would I ask Grandma to leave? Sitiang wants Grandma to help make meals for the people inside, just set up a stove outside this house. It’s a bit hard work." Mrs. Guo’s swollen eyes widened, "It’s not hard, it’s not hard, as long as I can stay here!" "But Grandma can’t go inside; if Grandma gets infected, there’ll be no one to cook." Beisitian smiled, but her tone was undeniable. Mrs. Guo knew this was a major concession. She just wanted to stay near them. While Beisitian talked to Mrs. Guo, the Li Family’s wife lowered her voice; she was just trying to care for her son. Watching Beisitian finish talking with Old Mrs. Guo and walking towards her, tears flowed down again. Unlike loud crying, she genuinely wanted to cry. "My son is only seven, I can’t leave him alone here..." The Li Family’s wife couldn’t finish her sentence before choking up. "Sister-in-law, don’t cry, why don’t you help Grandma Guo with cooking outside. But similarly, you can’t go inside. If you get infected, there won’t be anyone to look after the child." Beisitian said. The wife wiped her tears, nodding repeatedly, just being nearby was enough! Guo Jianye watched as Beisitian arrived and resolved the problem, admiring this young woman who was handling things better than he had imagined. Just like that, three people stayed over that night. To be cautious, Beisitian still created talismanic water for the five hunters and the two cooks. Now in the village, there were eight people with fever symptoms, adults and children alike. After Beisitian examined them, five were diagnosed with pneumonia. By noon, these five were all moved to the temporary isolation area. The other three were sent home to recuperate. Including those who came the night before, there were eight people in total, among whom Guo Jianye’s nephew was the worst, and Beisitian gave him talismanic water the first day. However, Beisitian’s spirit wasn’t sufficiently full at the moment, and relying solely on talismanic water might not be enough; the child’s situation was quite serious. She arranged the necessary things before heading into town. Deaths had already started to appear in town; the once bustling streets now only had a few scattered pedestrians, all wearing masks. This time Beisitian came not only to buy medicine but also planned to purchase some masks to take back. She arrived at Jishi Pharmacy, where Ma Xiaoling was wearing a mask and dispensing medicines. "Miss Bei is here, you can go directly to the backyard." Ma Xiaoling was too busy to guide her personally, as many people were coming to buy medicine due to the outbreak; lung-benefiting medicine was almost out. Beisitian walked straight to the backyard, seeing Luo Xudong sitting by the window reading the newspaper as usual. Her heart slightly eased. Luo Xudong noticed Beisitian as she walked through the yard and upon seeing she was okay, his heart gradually relaxed. "Miss Bei is here." Luo Xudong put down the newspaper. Beisitian smiled, "I’m here to buy medicine, do you have any medicine to benefit the lungs?" Seeing Luo Xudong’s expression slightly tense, she continued, "Someone in the village has shown symptoms of fever and has already been isolated under the village head’s lead. I’m planning to see if some medicine can be prepared for them." Luo Xudong relaxed completely after hearing this; from Beisitian’s words, he knew her family was okay. "I saved some medicine for you." Luo Xudong had anticipated Beisitian might need these medicines and kept some aside for her. Beisitian nodded, paused for a moment, then took out a small jar and handed it to Luo Xudong, "Drink this, it’ll provide some protection." Luo Xudong looked at her fair and slender fingers holding the small jar and took it, a faint yet warm smile spreading across his lips, "Special medicine just for me?" Beisitian felt slightly uncomfortable with his question, "Yes, Mr. Zhou is a good person, and this pharmacy still needs Mr. Zhou." Upon hearing her call him "Mr. Zhou" repeatedly, the warmth in Luo Xudong’s smile faded. "Why is Miss Bei so kind to me?" Luo Xudong asked with a faint smile. "Mr. Zhou has always helped me, so naturally I can’t forget Mr. Zhou." Beisitian replied but then appeared slightly dazed. The real reason should be because he is Luo Xudong, the son of Mrs. Qin and Luo Anguo, and in the future, she would have to entrust the family to him. She definitely wouldn’t want him to have any incidents. Luo Xudong observed the hesitation on Beisitian’s face and further confirmed his guess, his lips slightly rising. He didn’t feel particularly happy; this bittersweet taste was indeed unprecedented.
