Gu Mei is right in front of her, it doesn't matter if she refuses, it doesn't matter if she doesn't refuse.
"Let him make the decision." Gu Qinghuan found an excuse.
The man in white robe nodded, "Okay."
But don’t forget to mention, “Now that he is moving to the mountains, not just hundreds of Jin Yiwei, but thousands of households can do it as well. Don’t delay your future because of this.”
Gu Qinghuan said softly "Hmm".
The man in white robes said goodbye again, "Get some rest and don't let me visit Deer Park at night again."
Gu Mei said goodbye to Gu Qinghuan, "Auntie, I'm leaving then, that -"
Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't listen to your father's nonsense. No one can mess with the rules."
Lu Bai has had his own ideas since he was a child.
Sometimes she has more ideas than she does.
It's too much.
For example, loyalty to the emperor, foolishness and filial piety are almost dismissive attitudes.
He will not let others arrange his marriage.
Gu Mei felt relieved and said goodbye to Lu Qinghuan with a smile.
It's not that she looked down on Lu Bai, it was actually the first time she met this person, and her father wanted to arrange a marriage for her without her consent, so she naturally resisted.
Wang'er made a face, "I won't let Lao Lu marry her."
It's great to have a family of three, but it's not good to have another person. Huniu's brother married a daughter-in-law, and they are no longer a family from now on.
When Lu Bai returned to the Lion Tower, the man in white robe had already left.
He went to check on Chuba and everyone who had been in Chuba's room. None of them had the plague on them.
From this point of view, Chuba's re-infection with the plague is most likely related to something that is neither human nor material.
If that thing is caught, the source of the plague can be traced, and perhaps there will be a solution to this disaster.
It's just that this thing came without a trace, could pass through walls, and ran extremely fast. Not to mention that Lu Bai couldn't catch him, and even if he did, he wouldn't know how to catch him.
Lu Bai thought about it and felt that there was only one way -
Since we can't catch this thing, we must first find the source of the plague, and then follow the clues to catch this inhuman and non-material thing.
Seeing that the lights in Gu Qinghuan's house were still on, Lu Bai knocked on the door and walked in.
"They left?" Lu Bai asked.
Gu Qinghuan nodded, and she signaled Lu Bai to whisper softly. Wang'er said to her that she was asleep.
Lu Bai asked in a low voice: "What are they here for?"
"I heard that I was sick, so I came here to take a look." Lu Qinghuan asked Lu Bai, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Bai then chased him after the non-human and non-material thing, and lost him. When he came back, he found that Chuba was infected with the plague again.
Lu Bai said: "This thing must be related to the plague. Maybe he is the one who spread the plague."
Gu Qinghuan felt that what Lu Bai said made sense.
Gu Qinghuan said: "They may be the legendary plague ghosts."
In the books she read, many plagues were caused by ghosts, and the plague ghost was one of them.
"But why did the plague ghost drop the plague in Deer Park?" Lu Bai was puzzled.
This was definitely not a whim, but he was very persistent in dropping the plague, so much so that after Lu Bai saved people, he would drop another plague to infect others and kill them.
Lu Bai now suspected that Gu Qinghuan's infection with the plague might be related to the plague ghost and was not transmitted by others.
"The top priority is to find the source of infection," Lu Bai said.
Gu Qinghuan nodded.
Because the White Wolf Gang has controlled Luyuan these days and has been counting the number of dead patients, Gu Qinghuan has some information on hand, and Gu Qinghuan will have someone sort it out and hand it over to Lu Bai tomorrow.
As for now——
Lu Bai stood up and said, "I'm going to bed."
"Lao Lu, don't leave." Wang'er got up.
She didn't know when she woke up, "You make a bed down there, we haven't slept together for a long time."
When I was poor before.
After nightfall, they had no other entertainment activities, so they went to bed early and rested. Sometimes when they couldn't sleep, Lu Bai would tell stories.
When Lu Bai was too lazy to tell stories, he often chatted with Lu Qinghuan through the curtain about some family issues.
If they encounter any difficulty, they will discuss it with each other at night.
Every time Wanger falls asleep in such an environment, he feels very at ease and happy.
It's a pity that since Lu Bai became successful, they moved into the big house, and she had her own room, they never slept together again.
When Wang'er sleeps alone, he is deeply afraid that a ghost will come out.
After turning off the lights, she always felt that something was squatting in the corner of the room, looking at her with a "hehe" smile.
The more scared she gets, the more random thoughts she gets, and the more random thoughts she gets, the more scared she gets.
So much so that Wang'er now lights up the lights and stays up very late, until he can't stand it any longer and goes straight to sleep.
Lu Bai was angry, "Why didn't you come down to lay the floor?"
Wanger stuck out his tongue and hugged Gu Qinghuan's arm, "This is my mother."
"whispering sound."
Lu Bai stood up and decided to go back to sleep. He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night.
"Oh, right."
Lu Bai walked to the door and came back, giving a copybook to Gu Qinghuan, "Auntie, I collected another copybook of hundred flowers for you."
Gu Qinghuan took it and turned over the lamp.
"Wow!"
Wang'er said beside him: "This post is so beautiful, and it still smells like flowers."
"Then you practice hard."
Lu Bai waved his hand, opened the door and left, then closed the door, leaving Wang'er frowning.
Damn Lu Bai, he dug a hole for her again.
The next day.
Lu Bai sent the Buddha to heaven and helped Qiuba heal once more.
This time, because the disease was mild, the treatment was easy.
For the rest of the time, Lu Bai devoted himself wholeheartedly to the documents, searching for clues about the actions of these plague ghosts.
The plague in Deer Park began when one man fell dead.
This man's identity is easy to check. He is a coolie who usually walks the streets and carries heavy objects for a living.
After he died, the next few who died were the coolies who worked with him.
There are also customers who have hired him to do work.
"After being infected with the plague, how long does it usually take to develop?" Lu Bai asked Yu Shuang, who was helping him organize the information.
Yu Shuang pondered for a moment, "About four or five days."
Lu Bai stood up and said, "This coolie and his companions both got sick on the same day and some got sick on the next day, so they are not the number one infected person."
Yu Shuang asked: "Then I will ask people to check who the people who became ill on the same day and the next day have been in contact with?"
Lu Bai waved his hand, "Just let Ye Ying go check it out."
Ye Ying is the eldest among his apprentices and also his third apprentice.
As for Yu Shuang——
Lu Bai asked Yu Shuang to help him sort out the places with the worst epidemic situation in alley units.
After special reasons are eliminated, this place is the outbreak point.
Lu Bai said: "In this way, if we work on both sides, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
However, special reasons soon came.
As they investigated along the way, they found that one market had the most deaths, but it was hard to say whether someone brought the plague to the market and spread it all at once, or whether the source of the plague was in the market.
Fortunately, Ye Ying quickly sent back the found information and extended the clues, "The few dead coolies often took jobs in the market."
Lu Bai asked: "Before they died, did anyone die mysteriously in the market?"
Ye Ying nodded, "A dog butcher makes a living selling dog meat at the market."
The dog butcher died after working as a coolie for three or four days. Li Zheng and the Yamen officials concluded that he died of a sudden illness.
Ye Ying also said: "I asked the surviving coolies that when they were working in the market, they often went to the dog meat stalls to eat dog meat. However, he happened to have a big job in those days, so he didn't go."
This allowed him to survive.
Lu Bai put down the papers in his hands. Now he was certain that the plague almost originated from this dog meat stall.
However, questions came one after another.
If Lu Bai had stopped checking here normally, he would have thought it was caused by eating dog meat.
But regardless of the clue that the plague disappeared after leaving Yancheng, or that something inhuman and non-material sent the plague to Chuba again——
He specifically asked Chuba, who said that he had raised dogs when he was a child, so he never ate dog meat, and that he had nothing to do with the market or dog meat stalls.
He is not from Luyuan, he is from Kagurabo.
He came to Luyuan voluntarily following Mr. Gu's call.
In this way, the reason why the plague was caused by dog meat cannot be justified.
Lu Bai believed that the source of the plague was the dog meat stall, but it was not because of the dog meat stall that the plague occurred. There must be another hidden reason.
As for the hidden secret——
Lu Bai returned to what he called the art of writing documents.
He felt that the statistical data might give him the answer.
