Famine and Chaos: Weaving Cloth in Exile to Escape the War

Upon hearing this, Kyoto Haru's eyes immediately lit up.

Although she still has a lot of money in her system, there will always be a day when it runs out.

Especially now, with the plague, we have to change protective clothing every day, buy disinfectant, and raise children. In short, there are many places where we need to spend money.

If there are any more Cistanche deserticola plants, they should all be dug up and sold to the system; otherwise, they would be wasted.

"Brother Erniu, where exactly is that sandy slope you mentioned? And are there still many Cistanche deserticola plants left?"

Yang Erniu replied, "It's in the sandy area where we went to find my father to treat his illness. I remember there's still quite a lot of Cistanche deserticola left. However, with the snow falling so heavily now, it's probably hard to find."

"Oh, so that's where it is." Kyoto Haru nodded; she remembered the place.

Moreover, her system will display a prompt and a red dot marker when it detects nearby medicinal herbs, so there's no fear of not finding them.

With this in mind, she made a plan.

If she has time tomorrow, she will dig up all the Cistanche deserticola and sell it to the system.

Yang Erniu and Gao Xiuqin escorted Jing Zhichun to her thatched hut and watched her close the door before turning around and hurrying home.

Back in the cold room, Kyoto Haru took out a headlamp from her storage space and turned it on. Then she took out a disinfectant spray and carefully sprayed herself all over.

Immediately, he took off his old protective suit, which was soaked with snow, and bought a bottle of cola, five meat buns, and an apple from the system to finish the job.

People with hypoglycemia should always keep this cola on hand.

Because cola contains a lot of refined sugar, its glycemic index is extremely high.

Therefore, drinking this stuff can rapidly raise blood sugar levels in people with low blood sugar within a short period of time.

After finishing her meal, Jing Zhichun immediately bought a new set of protective clothing, masks, and gloves from the system, preparing to put them on.

Just as she rolled up her inner sleeves to put her arm into the protective suit, she saw several rice-grain-sized blisters on the inside of her left wrist.

This discovery made Kyoto Haru's heart leap into her throat.

It’s over.

It's time to come.

She has already shown symptoms of the plague.

Although she had expected that she would not escape the plague, she was still scared and distressed when she actually developed symptoms.

Fortunately, she had medicine to treat the plague.

At least they won't die.

After putting on protective clothing, gloves, and a mask, Jing Zhichun disinfected herself again before entering the space.

The temperature inside the space was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

Both children had kicked off their cotton-padded coats and trousers, wearing only their undershirts, and were fast asleep.

Jing Zhichun squatted down to check the two children, and then touched their foreheads and palms.

Fortunately, both children were clean and had no blisters, and their body temperature was normal, so it seems that they have not shown any symptoms yet.

Kyoto Haru's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally half relieved.

She carefully checked the food reserves left for the two children.

She herself is currently showing symptoms of the plague and must minimize the number of times she enters the space, shorten her stay, and avoid contact with her two children.

Therefore, from then on, she only needed to come in once a day to check on the children.

Furthermore, during this period, she must ensure that her two children have enough food and never let them go hungry.

Especially the food given to Xiaoman.

Staple foods, as well as protein and vitamins, are all essential.

Jing Zhichun looked around and found that a bucket of warm water had hardly been touched, there were still two pounds of baby goat milk powder left, and eight meat buns left.

The roast chicken was barely touched, and there were still nine apples left.

After a moment's thought, Jing Zhichun bought ten apples and ten pears from the system.

These two fruits existed during the Zhou Dynasty, and Xiaoman recognized them.

Xiaoman didn't recognize any of the other fruits either.

So Jingzhichun only planned to buy these two items for Xiaoman to eat first, and then give her other fruits later.

Then, next up are the vegetables.

Since cooking isn't allowed in the space, I can only buy vegetables to eat raw.

Looking at the vegetable section in the system, apart from cucumbers and radishes, all the other vegetables that can be eaten raw are not available in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So, Jingzhichun bought 5 jin of cucumbers.

Next up is the staple food.

Buy twenty meat buns, ten steamed buns, and three packs of pastries directly.

Afterwards, Jingzhichun bought another bamboo basket, put the food in the basket, and placed the basket on one side of where the two children were sleeping.

That way, when Xiaoman wakes up, she will be able to see the food she left behind.

After arranging for the two children's food and drink, Jingzhichun bought two sets of cotton children's pajamas and a light, soft blanket from the system.

The blanket was used for the two children to sleep under.

As for pajamas, Kyoto Haru had already taken off the two children's cotton-padded coats and quickly changed them into pajamas, then covered them with blankets.

After doing all that, Kyoto Haru left the space with the tent and sleeping bag she had bought earlier.

She found a relatively flat spot in the corner of the hut, set up the tent neatly, and then laid out her sleeping bag.

Starting tonight, this will be her ward for self-isolation.

After settling into his accommodation, Jing Zhichun bought a clay pot for decocting medicine and several packets of herbs for treating plague from the system.

Before decocting the medicine, she first took out a thermometer to check her body temperature.

A temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius indicates a low-grade fever.

Fortunately, the fever wasn't too high.

Kyoto Haru breathed a sigh of relief and then began to prepare her own medicine.

After preparing the medicine, they started a fire to boil water.

This was in preparation for her possibly developing a high fever in the middle of the night.

If you sweat excessively, drink plenty of sugar-salt water to prevent dehydration caused by high fever.

After the water boiled, Jing Zhichun took out the kettle she had bought earlier from her spatial storage, poured the boiling water into the kettle, and then began to brew the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Kyoto Haru was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyelids open.

She quickly bought a thick quilt from the system, crawled into the tent, and fell asleep.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Kyoto Spring was awakened by thirst.

She struggled to get up, poured herself a bowl of salt and sugar water and drank it. Just as she was about to take her temperature, a boy's voice rang out outside her thatched hut.

"Madam Shen, are you home?"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the door of the thatched hut in Kyoto Spring was pounded on loudly.

"Madam Shen, are you home?"

Jing Zhichun hurriedly put down her bowl, walked quickly to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door panel.

She originally thought the boy would be Yang Tiedan.

Unexpectedly, the boy outside the door was someone else.

He was the grandson of the teacher of the original owner's father, whose family was also raided and who was exiled.

She had met the Su family grandfather and grandson when she was harvesting ephedra in the mountains.

His grandfather's name was Su Zhe...

His grandson's name is...

I forgot...

Jing Zhichun quickly put on her mask before asking through the door, "What brings you here, young master of the Su family?"
