Chapter 124: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 124
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The sun is high in the sky every day, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. Summer is like cholera, coming at any time.
Because the nearby alleys were sealed off, the feces collection trucks could not come in, and every household's toilets were not emptied. The smell was indescribable.
I can only get a little information about the situation outside from the phone.
Early this morning, after Wei Miao looked at the two cubs, he decided that they didn't need any more injections. He watched them drink Coptis chinensis water and stuffed a candy into each of their mouths before going to find Lu Pingsheng.
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng were standing downstairs of Grandma Cui's house. When they looked up, they saw Cui Lijuan wearing a floral mask, half leaning against the window, her hair slightly messy, looking like a sick beauty.
"Mr. Lu, Ah Miao, I will remember your kindness in saving my life."
Cui Liping, who was also wearing a floral mask, bowed to the two and said weakly:
"I am a rough man. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
The happiest person was Grandma Cui. After taking the medicine for three days, the two children stopped vomiting and had diarrhea, and were able to eat again.
I asked A Miao and Mr. Lu, and they said it was basically healed.
She didn't bother to thank God, and eagerly said to the two people downstairs who only showed their eyes:
"Mr. Lu, A'miao, when the alley is unsealed, I'll treat you two to scallion pancakes every day."
Wei Miao smiled with eyes curved, "Then grandma, I want to eat it crispy and golden on both sides."
Lu Pingsheng also said, "We should put more chopped green onions in it."
Grandma Cui agreed repeatedly.
A family of three stood on the second floor and watched one tall and one short walking towards the next house.
Grandma Cui made the sign of the cross on her chest and prayed silently.
Although Cui Lijuan and her brother knew that their mother had a good temper, they did not dare to interrupt her when she was praying.
After the white-haired grandma finished praying, Cui Lijuan said:
"Mom, I never knew that Wei's Ah Miao would be so successful."
Because the two children had been saved from the brink of death, Grandma Cui was in a very good mood and said lovingly:
"Among all the kids in the alley, Ah Miao is the most promising. When Yang Ala took him to church, Ala just thought she wanted to go out and have fun. Who knew she actually learned foreign languages from Sister Mary?"
Cui Liping said carelessly: "Mom, if you believed in God when I was a child and took me to church, I would also be able to learn foreign languages."
Granny Cui looked at her lazy son and wanted to spit at him, but then she remembered how he lay sick and crying in bed.
So he turned around and went downstairs and said, "I'll make some porridge for you two."
"Mom, remember to bring a plate of pickled fish." Cui Lijuan, who had been looking out the window, shouted.
"I understand!" Grandma Cui responded.
Cui Lijuan turned her head and met her elder brother's half-smiley eyes, and said angrily:
"What are you laughing at?"
Cui Liping bared his teeth and said mercilessly:
"Mr. Lu is a young man, rich and talented, how could he fall in love with a middle-aged dancer like you? Why don't you listen to me and marry my eldest brother and become his sister-in-law, and be majestic and dignified."
Cui Lijuan picked up the medicine bowl beside her and threw it at Cui Liping, cursing:
"You old bastard, your elder brother is already over 60 years old and he doesn't even know if he can pee normally, and you actually asked me to marry..."
Cui Liping jumped up, and the medicine bowl smashed into pieces where he had just sat.
He pointed at his sister and wanted to scold her, but seeing her eyes full of tears, and thinking about his elder brother, he touched his nose and muttered:
"If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. Who are you trying to show off to by acting like a tigress?"
Grandma Cui downstairs heard the noise upstairs and sighed softly.
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng worked hard in the scorching sun for the whole morning, and when they returned home neither of them wanted to talk.
Lu Pingsheng smoked and Wei Miao drank water.
As soon as my butt touched the sofa, I heard the phone ringing.
"Ms. Li? What happened to Ziyang?" Lu Pingsheng, holding the phone, sat up slightly and his expression changed slightly.
Li Xiaoya's unclear voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Zi Yang, Zi Yang, he got cholera and is in a coma now. I don't know either... Ugh~"
Li Xiaoya said halfway when she made a retching sound.
There was a crackling sound on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, Li Xiaoya's weak voice was heard.
"I seem to be infected too. Mr. Lu, you are Ziyang's best friend, do you have any solution?"
Lu Pingsheng's brows were furrowed very tightly.
"Hasn't Ziyang been with you in the concession? How could he be infected?"
According to Lu Pingsheng's understanding, cholera has been under control in the Chinese area these days, and with the various martial laws in the other three realms, it is impossible for it to spread in.
unless. . .
Li Xiaoya bit her lip, she wanted to lie.
But Lu Pingsheng's impression of her had just changed, and she didn't want this person to have any opinion of her character.
She knew too well how shrewd Lupin was.
So with deep guilt he said:
"It's all my fault. Someone from my cousin's family came to pick me up two days ago. I stayed at his house for one night, and the next day I was told that my cousin's child had been infected with cholera..."
Lu Pingsheng clenched his fists tightly, and once again felt that Xu Manhua’s so-called revenge plan was bullshit.
"Brother Ziyang was fine this morning, but he suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea when he was about to leave..."
Li Xiaoya suppressed the urge to vomit and secretly felt that she was unlucky.
A few days ago at nine o'clock in the evening, Kudo Hisayoshi of the gendarmerie suddenly came to her and asked her to recall carefully what happened at the birthday party of the Chief Patrolman of the French Concession.
To this end, she went through the entire process of that night in detail from beginning to end, and spent forty minutes with this person in a closed space.
The next day, before she woke up, she received a call from her cousin. He asked her who she had been in contact with recently and finally asked how she was feeling.
When she hung up the phone, she clearly heard the person on the other end say that Kudo Hisayoshi was infected with cholera.
At first she was still holding on to hope, but now looking at Wu Ziyang lying unconscious in bed.
She knew in her heart that this man could not die. If he died, her fate would be...
Thinking of this, she shuddered and said anxiously:
"Brother Lu, what should we do now?"
After listening to this, Lu Pingsheng had roughly guessed the whole story. Li Xiaoya must have gone to the Japanese and had contact with people who had been to Aoki Izakaya.
Wei Miao, who had already stood up to go home to see the patient, stopped and waited quietly for Lu Pingsheng's next words.
Lu Pingsheng patiently comforted Li Xiaoya with a few words, and only hung up the phone after asking for their addresses.
"You, little Brother Wu, also won." Lu Pingsheng said to Wei Miao.
Wei Miao stood at the door, "The concession is not safe anymore?"
Lu Pingsheng thought that maybe it was because of him that Wu Ziyang was implicated, and he felt a little sad.
Wu Ziyang is just one of them, and there may be more.
It is impossible for the people of Aoki Izakaya not to come into contact with other people. While infecting their own people, they will also wreak havoc on other people on this land.
Maybe he really did something wrong.
After all, this is his homeland. No matter how much he hates these invaders, he should not cross the bottom line.
"What can we do?" Wei Miao asked.
Lu Pingsheng motioned for her to go home first, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
Wei Miao wanted to say something, but when she saw Lu Pingsheng picked up the phone again, she turned and walked out.
