The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

Chapter 161 The Flu Monster

In ancient times, when a large number of people fell ill, it was very likely due to a plague.

Zhao Taohua was very worried, and immediately went to Zhao Xiangping's house after Zhao Shengfang left.

At this moment, Zhao Xiangping was surrounded by the villagers, each of whom seemed somewhat strange.

Some had runny noses, some had sore throats, and some were coughing.

Zhao Xiangping can sell more cold and fever medicine in a single day than he did in the past year. Fortunately, he had his son go to town to buy some more yesterday.

"Master, they are all sick. You should stay away from them."

Yanglazi reminded her.

Zhao Taohua raised her hand and covered her mouth with her sleeve, using it as a makeshift mask.

Zhao Xiangping spotted Zhao Taohua outside the crowd at a glance. While taking someone's pulse, he asked:

"Peach Blossom, you've caught a cold too?"

Zhao Xiangping was surrounded by layers of villagers, all waiting to see a doctor.

Zhao Taohua knew that she probably wouldn't finish watching it until dark.

She asked the question that had been on her mind the most: "Grandpa Xiangping, is it just a simple cold and fever for everyone?"

She was not proficient in medicine and could only consult Zhao Xiangping.

Zhao Xiangping nodded. Although he was an expert in medicine, he also had a worry in his heart.

"Peach Blossom, most people in the village have caught colds and fevers this time. Is it the work of monsters?"

It's really unusual that so many people in the village have caught a cold this time.

Zhao Taohua shook her head: "Grandpa Xiangping, I didn't see any spirits or monsters on anyone."

Zhao Xiangping frowned. "No?"

So everyone just has a simple cold?

Zhao Taohua shook her head again: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe this spirit is very good at concealing its aura."

I'll investigate first. If there really is a monster harming people, I will definitely not let it get away with it!

Then, Zhao Taohua asked Zhao Xiangping who was the first person in the village to catch a cold.

Before Zhao Xiangping could answer, a villager interrupted:

"It's Ren Chunmei!"

"At first, everyone was fine, but we could hear her coughing all the time."

Could it be that she infected us?

Her husband and son have both left the village, why is she still staying here? Isn't she just harming people?

Everyone was affected by these words.

Even the usually virtuous and gentle Jiang Cuier couldn't help but speak up:

"This kind of scourge should be driven out of the village!"

After she finished cursing, she started coughing violently again, and Zhao Feng, who was standing nearby, immediately comforted her:

"Cui'er, don't get angry. You're pregnant now."

Because of her pregnancy, Jiang Cuier is now particularly sensitive.

She felt unwell and was afraid that taking medicine would affect the baby in her womb, which made her exceptionally irritable.

Zhao Taohua glanced at her belly and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Ren Chunmei quietly leaving through the door. She quickly chased after her.

Ren Chunmei ran home crying and locked the door. No matter how much Zhao Taohua knocked, no one answered.

"Won't she do something stupid?"

Zhao Taohua had a bad feeling.

Fortunately, she had brought the spicy pepper spirit with her. She flew over the courtyard wall and saw Ren Chunmei, who had tied a rope to the roof beam and kicked off the stool.

"Quick, get her down!"

Under the manipulation of the "spicy devil," Ren Chunmei was brought back from the brink of death.

"Peach Blossom?"

The moment Ren Chunmei saw Zhao Taohua, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Ren Chunmei, who had just made up her mind to die, lost the courage to die after surviving.

All that remained in my heart was the fear of death!

Having died once, I know how terrifying death can be.

But now she is a sinner in the village, how can she have the face to live?

She had nowhere to go, but the village chief helped her get a household registration and settle down in the village.

The village chief and everyone else said she was so kind, but she was the one who gave them her cold.

Zhao Taohua gently patted her back, comforting her:

"Sister Chunmei, don't cry, we'll always find a way."

Tell me, where have you been before, and what have you done there?

Ren Chunmei cried while looking completely bewildered.

These days she helps cook and deliver meals to the city wall workers, and also earns money by picking medicinal herbs in the village.

He spends most of his time in the village and rarely leaves.

After listening to her description, Zhao Taohua frowned slightly, but did not detect anything unusual in it.

"Sister Chunmei, did you notice anything unusual at that time?"

Even just a little bit? Think about it again.

Zhao Taohua continued to press for answers.

After a moment, Ren Chunmei actually remembered something: "A few days ago, when I was delivering food up the mountain, I was carrying the load and walking at the very back."

Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine, and when I got home, my shoulders ached and I felt weak.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua's gaze immediately fell on her back: "Sister-in-law, take off your shirt so I can see."

what?

Ren Chunmei was taken aback at first, then did as she was told, feeling embarrassed.

When the summer clothes are removed, a voluptuous body is immediately revealed.

Ren Chunmei has a wheatish complexion, and there is a noticeable shadow on her back.

It is spherical in shape, similar to a flu virus, and covered with sharp, spiky protrusions.

It appeared on Ren Chunmei's back, like a terrifying brand.

"So that's it!"

Zhao Taohua's eyes narrowed.

"Peach Blossom, what's wrong? Is there something on me?"

Ren Chunmei felt a little scared when she heard Zhao Taohua's words.

Zhao Taohua first detected a strange flu-like aura on Ren Chunmei, and then helped Ren Chunmei put on her clothes.

"Sister-in-law, it really was a spirit causing trouble. But don't worry, everything will be alright. I'm going to find it right now!"

After saying that, Zhao Taohua picked up the rope on the ground and had Yanglajing carry her up the mountain.

Zhao Taohua never expected that there were such powerful spirits in Zhao Family Village.

No wonder she could only catch some small monsters before.

This one has at least five hundred years of cultivation.

As Ren Chunmei watched her leave her yard, she felt a surge of hope within her.

Just as Zhao Taohua flew into the air, the village chief, who had rushed over at top speed, shouted:

"Peach Blossom, something bad has happened. Most of the people working on the city wall are sick. Many of them are so weak from vomiting that they can't work at all."

"If this continues, our project will be delayed!"

"Village chief, don't worry, everyone will be fine soon. I already know what's causing this."

Zhao Taohua left behind a sentence and flew up the mountain with the fiery spirit.

The village chief asked curiously, "What is it?"

At this moment, Ren Chunmei opened the courtyard gate, came out, and said, "Taohua said it's the flu."

She believed that Zhao Taohua could definitely defeat the flu monster!
