This trip can be described as a trip to the mountains and countryside.
Nihu dispersed all the villagers, which was under Liang Chuan's instruction.
At this time, the common people still did not understand the mechanism of the plague. They only hoped that someone could save their lives. The closest to Liangchuan, the greater the chance of being rescued!
But gathering at this time would be tantamount to group suicide!
Liang Chuan first assured all the villagers and the refugees of Song Youcai and his party that he would do everything possible to save them no matter what!
Coupled with the earnest persuasion of Nihu, a highly respected old man, the villagers were persuaded to go back!
Ni Hu also felt strange. As the saying goes, it is not when everyone adds firewood that the flames rise. Why did Liang Chuan prefer that the fewer people there, the better? Although he had doubts in his heart, he had contacted He Baozheng several times in the past few years, and when he saw He Lu's appearance, he was really impressed. Make him jealous!
The shabby He Lu, just because of the appearance of this young boy, can be said to be a phoenix from nirvana. No matter how poor the village is, they have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. During the holidays, they can't survive even if they cut a few cuts of meat and pull out two clothes. .
Nowadays, there are brick houses everywhere in Helu, which are more impressive than the wealthy landlords in Xinghua! Even the roads in the village are paved with stone slabs. This is just to put yourself in a good position!
He was already too old, too old to have any dreams, but every time he thought about how he would not be able to lead these villagers to live a good life before he died, he was afraid that he would die without blinking an eye!
Liang Chuan also asked the people from the Tianxiong Army in northern Shaanxi to go home. Song Jun applied some herbs picked in the forest on his body. These recipes were passed down orally from generation to generation. If Secretary Huang was here, he would directly prescribe some gold-creating medicine. The effect is better than anything else!
Song Youcai asked Song Jun's younger brother Song Sizheng to take care of him, and he returned to join Liang Chuan. Only he knew the settlement of three thousand brothers on the mountain.
The group has to continue going up the mountain!
"How long has this disease been discovered?"
Although Liang Chuan is not a doctor, he understands basic common sense, and even a little basic medical common sense is better than what the current doctors can figure out based on their own experience!
"Are you talking about the plague? I'm not sure about the specifics. The mountain people in the mountains are too secluded. This disease was never discovered in the first place. There are many miasma poisonous insects in the mountains. Walking in the mountains all day long, bumping and falling is normal. None of the people in the mountains have a headache or fever. If they feel a little uncomfortable, they spread the news everywhere. What will happen?"
"Can't you remember exactly how long it took? Just give a rough idea!"
"It's been a few months, when people started to die on the mountain." Nihu recalled that it had been so long since he first attended the funeral of his fellow mountain people.
Liang Chuan did not go to Song Youcai. Now it is meaningless to prove who came first, and there is no way to completely exonerate the refugees. The only way is to make the mountain people feel that this is perfunctory to them!
This section of the mountain road is even more rugged, with a gradient of seven to eight degrees. The rocks are rugged and the grass is luxuriant. In the wild, golden pheasants shuttle through the woods from time to time! Walking up the mountain, the movement in the dense forest is even louder, indicating that there are more wild animals here!
"Are there any big insects in the woods now?"
"The big insect is the king of the mountains and forests, naturally there is one, but like the old wild boar, he is a god-like existence in the mountains. He has his own territory. As long as we don't invade him, he has never tasted human flesh, and he will be like the villagers. Let’s live in peace!”
Nihu sighed and said: "These wild animals are easy to get along with. Humans have too many thoughts. If you are nice to them, they will want to eat you!"
Nihu was like an old man who had seen through the world, with a constant sadness in his tone.
The folk customs of the mountain people were originally pure and simple, but after interacting with people at the foot of the mountain a lot, they were deceived from time to time, which made them more sophisticated.
It turned out that the prey of the mountain people were all real, and later they dismembered the wild animals, mixed them with some cheap wild animal meat, and passed it off as inferior. It turned out to be a good sale, but the common people were so naughty that they couldn't eat it. Then he knew something was wrong, and the mountain people also lost a lot of reputation after going back and forth.
"What are the symptoms of these diseases?"
Nihu recalled with a heavy face: "Most of the people who died were not physically strong. They kept vomiting for several months. When they were finally buried, they were skin and bones. It was so miserable!"
So miserable!
"Do young people do this too?"
"Young people are in good health. They just pull their limbs and feel weak. But the elderly and children will suffer. Once infected by the plague, there is basically no cure!"
"Are there any other symptoms?"
"I don't dare to run to other villages casually now. If people from other villages come, we will try our best to prevent them from entering the village. Therefore, there are not many people infected with the disease in our village. I don't know the symptoms very well?"
Liang Chuan didn't know what the cause of the disease was after much thought, but it was most likely related to the digestive system!
Is this a blessing among misfortunes? Such diseases are at least caused by eating or drinking. Herbal medicines can also be used to treat them. If it is a plague like the respiratory tract, or an epidemic like the Black Death, it is really over. !
When Liang Chuan first went up the mountain, he saw that there were mountains on the mountain. It was not a flat river, but the mountains on the mountain were undulating. The entire mountain was like a giant lying lion. The middle section ran north to south, and the huge cliffs were like walls, like lions. The back is high and swollen; the southern end runs east-west, slightly high, like a roaring lion raising its head and paws; the northern end runs northeast, like a lion kicking its feet and stretching out its claws.
Now I took a closer look, and I didn't expect that it turned out to be a whole big stone. It was huge and round, like a meteorite falling from the sky. It might be more than fifty feet high and more than ten miles away. It was dotted with scattered rocks. The green trees look particularly spectacular!
"As you can see, that huge rock is called Maixie Rock. It is a single piece of rock. The mountain people thought there was treasure on it, so they even carved stone steps to climb up!"
Liang Chuan was stunned: "Is there any treasure?"
Nihu smiled slightly: "In addition to the shit of birds in the sky, what other treasures can there be?"
"Well.."
"At the foot of the mountain is Maixie Village!"
Song Youcai said: "There is also a village near here, and there is a guy in there who you know, too!"
"who?"
"Hong Bufan!"
Liang Chuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Is he here too?"
A group of people approached Maixie Village. The villagers were all squatting in front of their homes, and they were all listless. The mountains and forests in this season were no longer as hot as in summer. Even the north wind had begun to bring a chill, and the ground was cold. The crops here have also stopped being cultivated. Now except for hunting, there is almost no other harvest in the mountains.
After walking in, Liang Chuan realized that something was wrong with the village. The village was too dirty. Human and chicken and duck animal excrement could be seen almost everywhere. The sewage in every household was flowing everywhere. The stench of the village was overwhelming. People can't help but cover their ears and nose!
When the villagers saw the stranger coming, they immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They picked up farm tools and blocked the entrance to the village.
"Where are you keeping your integrity?" Nihu took a look and immediately stood up to stop!
"Lao Zhu is dying, and there is no one to take charge now!" When the villagers saw that it was Lord Li Zheng from the countryside, they immediately relaxed, put away the dung fork farm tools in their hands, and said to Nihu: "Master Li Zheng, you Go to the county and come up with a solution, if this disease is not controlled, our village will soon be wiped out!"
"Everyone is going home. I'm already thinking of a solution. This time you have a good fortune telling. If the stars in the sky come down to earth, the imperial doctor from the Bianjing Palace will come to treat you!"
Imperial physician! Nihu chatted for a few words and immediately caused a sensation in Maixie Village. The people in Maixie Village had not cared about their conflicts with the refugees for a long time. Now the plague is critical and they will really destroy the village if it is not treated!
"Master Li Zheng, you are also a star in the sky, so you can't make random accusations. Imperial doctors treat illnesses for officials. How can you give us old guys like us a chance to look at you?"
Ni Hu rolled his eyes at him: "Believe it or not, do you know who this is next to me? It was Liang Chuan, our tiger fighting hero in Xinghua County, who invited the imperial doctor here! Now go back to the house right away. If nothing happens from now on, no one should wander around in this yard!"
The villagers all looked at Liang Chuan. Most of them didn't believe the nonsense of asking for an imperial doctor, but some people recognized Liang Chuan!
"Liang Chuan is really the hero of fighting against tigers!"
"You know him too?"
"That year I happened to go to Xinghua to buy some cloth to add a few ounces of iron to the hoe, and I happened to see Liang Chuan wearing a red robe and parading like a groom. It was him!"
"Is it Liang Chuan, the powerful man from He Lu?"
"it's him!"
When it comes to tiger-fighting heroes, people's reaction is mediocre. The plague is much more ferocious than the big insects. But when it comes to Helu Village, everyone in half of Fujian Province knows it! This boy led a group of villagers and lived a happy life. It was a well-known wealthy town, and its reputation had already reached the sky!
When the villagers saw this, they immediately knelt down in front of Liang Chuan and said with tears in their eyes: "Hero Liang Chuan, please save our village!"
Looking at this scene, the group fell silent. The problems on the mountain were far more troublesome than they thought. They were not at the end of their rope. These mountain people had more backbone than the common people anywhere. When did they bow their heads to others?
No matter how bad the environment has been for thousands of years, they have not wiped out their villages and species, but this time is different. Disease cannot be defeated by willpower. Disease is often the most devastating willpower, letting your relatives die in front of them one by one, but There is nothing you can do!
Hunger, poverty, cold, starvation, and disease are the most terrifying diseases!
Liang Chuan did not dare to help these mountain people, not because he disliked them for being dirty, but because he did not know the status of the disease and was afraid that he would fall down first through contact.
Helpless, Liang Chuan could only look at Nihu and said: "Get up, folks, I will try my best and never shrink back. If I don't defeat this plague together with everyone, I will be plagued by the disease and die with you all." In this greatness!”
Even Ni Hu couldn't believe it this time. Liang Chuan was an outsider at best. How terrible the plague was, it had nothing to do with him. Was he making such a heavy oath for these refugees or for fame and fortune?
At that moment Nihu had mixed feelings. Is it profitable for the mountain people? Even if you polish your family fortune, you won’t be able to find even a few cents! This man really has the world at heart, there are still such people in the world!
