Gulan's side, when she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she used the black cloth given by the garment shop to make a small shoulder bag for her son. It was not big, about the width of a textbook, and Gulan deliberately made it thicker, with an extra layer of cloth in the middle as a barrier. It looked small, but in fact it could hold a lot of things.
I bought a lot of delicious food in Yishan Town today. Except for some given to Daya and Erya, the rest all went to AnAn, and the small bag was kept for my son to carry his snacks.
Gulan's needlework skills have never been very good. In her world, everything can be bought, and there is no opportunity for her to do needlework. Although she has integrated some of the original owner's memories, the combination of the two is only slightly better than before. It can't be said to be good.
But Gulan has tried her best to make the small bag look better, and she went to great lengths to show off some abstract flowers and branches on it. The original intention was to show a branch of plum blossom, but in fact it only looked like a flower. Despite this, Gulan was already very satisfied. She could make this look by hand based solely on her imagination, which was something she had never dared to think about before. She didn't expect that she had this talent. Maybe she should practice more in the future.
Not only Gulan was satisfied, but the cute little AnAn was also very satisfied. AnAn has been very excited since receiving this gift. He happily keeps wearing it on his body and is reluctant to take it off even when sleeping. In the end, Gulan coaxed him into taking it down and placing it next to him.
Looking at her sleeping son, Gulan carefully took the small bag from her son's hand, opened it, looked at the snacks inside and smiled.
Gulan used her consciousness to open a bag of rock sugar from space, and wrapped a dozen of them in oil paper. She also wrapped a few milk candies and a few fruit-flavored candies. Gulan didn't dare to put too much of these, so she also wrapped a few milk-flavored small twisted dough sticks and milk-flavored biscuits. The rest could only be left alone.
In fact, there are many things in the space, but most of them cannot be taken out at all, mainly because they do not exist in this world. It is okay to secretly put them into my son's mouth, but putting them in my son's bag will easily attract other people's attention.
There is rock sugar in this world. Although the quality cannot be compared with what she took out, it is not enough to arouse suspicion. The candy is relatively small and Gulan thought about it again and again before putting it in. After tying the strap, the bag was put back into my son's little hands. I believe my son will be very happy to see these things tomorrow.
Looking at the starry sky, tomorrow will be another good day. I hope this kind of days where I use the sky as my blanket and the ground as my bed will come to an end soon. Gulan closed her eyes amid the starry sky and the faint chirping of insects.
…
Late at night, a fast horse galloped in the darkness and finally arrived at Jiaocheng at dawn. At this time, the city gate was closed and it was not time for it to be opened. After running around all night, Wang Zong was already exhausted. He tied up his horse and leaned against a tree not far from the city gate, falling into a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I heard noisy voices and people were coming and going. The city gate was already open.
He opened his sore eyes and rubbed his cheeks vigorously. After a few breaths, he was completely awake. He took a few gulps of water, took out the bread prepared for him by his family and started eating it in big mouthfuls. He felt better after eating a piece of bread. He stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and led his horse towards the city gate.
"Brother Wang, why are you here so early? Come to see the master. Let's have lunch together after we're done?" As soon as he entered the city gate, he was recognized by the gatekeeper, who greeted him warmly with surprise. The two had had several meals together before and had a pretty good relationship.
Wang Zong was also very happy to see that it was an acquaintance. He patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "I should be fine. Do you have time? Well, hurry up and do your duty. We can have a drink together when we have time."
Wu Fei chuckled. He was indeed just being polite. He would never dare to leave his post without permission during his duty, unless he didn't want this job anymore. As a city gate officer, he was in charge of a few people, which was a good job, so he was reluctant to give it up.
"Of course, of course, I won't delay Brother Wang's work. Brother Wang, please go now."
Wang Zong nodded, led the horse and quickly left the city gate. Early in the morning was the busiest time of the day. Even though Wang Zong was anxious, he did not dare to ride his horse at full speed. Instead, he led the horse step by step towards the county government office. If nothing unexpected happens during this time, the county magistrate will be working in the county government office.
When Wang Zong arrived at the county government office, he knew everyone there. In addition, Wang Zong was a warm and friendly person, so it didn't take long for him to meet the county magistrate and report the situation truthfully.
Like the head of the village, the county magistrate was also very shocked. He sat in his chair for a long time without responding, his face extremely solemn. As the magistrate of a county, it can be said that no one in Jiaocheng knows better than him about the catastrophic epidemic in the north a few years ago. It took a full half a year to completely suppress it and affected a wide range of people.
There were so many casualties among people and livestock that the current emperor was furious. The governor of Youzhou and all the officials under his jurisdiction were dismissed. Some were demoted, some were investigated, and some had their property confiscated. For a while, the situation was very tense, and all the officials behaved themselves in a very low profile, fearing that the current emperor would be so angry that he would vent his anger on others.
After a while, the county magistrate looked at Wang Zong and said, "Wang Zong, you and the head of the village have done a great job and have taken very effective measures. Continue to investigate after you return. If you find infected livestock, burn them immediately on the spot and make sure to do a good job of subsequent disinfection. I will send three teams to accompany you to Yishan Town immediately. The area within 100 miles of the center of Yishan Town will be immediately closed. No one will be allowed to enter or leave. Those who pervert my order will be severely punished. At the same time, I will send another team to collect lime and other disinfectants and follow them. I will also order people to check the surrounding towns. Inspector Wang has a heavy responsibility this time. Remember, no matter what the cost, you must not let the epidemic spread."
"Yes, I obey your command," Wang Zong clasped his fists and accepted the order. Because he understood the importance of this matter, he rushed to the county town overnight.
"Good." County Magistrate Liu looked at Mr. Wang with great satisfaction. If the situation this time could be resolved in time, Wang Zong would be the greatest contributor. He immediately sat down at his desk and began writing.
Not long after, Wang Zong found the county magistrate with the warrant, and soon led his men out of Jiaocheng in a hurry without stopping for a moment.
Yishan Town.
Everyone in Lijia Village did not sleep well last night. There were intermittent noises coming from the direction of the town entrance, which lasted for a long time before stopping. After waking up in the morning, everyone understood what happened last night. Overnight, the road leading into Yishan Town was blocked by roadblocks one after another and guarded by a large number of people.
How could Yishan Town change so much overnight? The people of Lijia Village and Xishan Village, who didn't understand what was going on, couldn't help but wonder if it was related to them, and they were preventing them from entering the town.
But it didn't feel right! If that was the case, why was there no resistance yesterday? Some brave people did ask around, but the inspectors who were so friendly yesterday all looked serious today, and no one spoke.
So much so that some people who did not go into the town to replenish food yesterday began to regret it. Who could have expected that there would be such a big change today? If they had known earlier, they would have gone into the town yesterday, but it was too late to regret.
Gulan was just surprised for a moment, then she understood. She think yesterday's inspector was a very responsible person. The response measures came so quickly. If we really want to prevent the spread of mad cow disease, sealing off the town is necessary.
Gulan had thought of it, and Xiang Yunjin had also thought of it. He approved of Yishan Town's speed. If Yishan Town did not take any action, Xiang Yunjin would take his own approach. An epidemic as serious as mad cow disease must not be allowed to spread.
