On the same day, Liang Chuan and Ni Hu rushed to Qingyuan after finding out the situation of the mountain people.
Along the way to Liangchuan, the tragic situation of the mountain people is lingering!
I thought that Maixie Village was already the most severely affected place on the mountain, but when I walked further into the mountain with Nihuli, I realized how terrible the plague was!
There is a large piece of mountainous land below the Namaixian Rock. Crops cannot be grown on the hillside, so it has always been deserted. Now, mountain people from several villages have seen this piece of land, gathered together, and buried all their relatives who died in the plague here!
Liang Chuan passed by here inadvertently and counted hundreds of graves in detail. The soil above was soft and moist. It was obvious that they had just been piled up not long ago!
Even He Baozheng did not expect that the plague had become so serious!
In the early years, alchemists took a fancy to this geomantic treasure under Maixie Rock. They built a Zhusheng Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain and made elixirs to seek immortality in this blessed place!
After the plague broke out, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple also pretended to be gods and ghosts and sold talisman water in front of the Taoist temple, claiming that it could drive away evil spirits and eliminate the epidemic!
The common people are the worst offenders. Seeing their neighbors dying, they immediately emptied their wealth and bought a large number of these talismans to burn and drink!
Talisman paper can cure diseases, so why do you need a doctor?
The mountain people were defrauded of all their money by the Taoist priests at the Zhusheng Taoist Temple. They didn't even have the money to buy medicine. More and more people died. In the end, even the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were infected by the disease and died. After his death, the mountain people realized that this was a scam, but the Taoist priest had already squandered all the money, and now there was no way to survive.
In the countryside, they themselves are unable to protect themselves. Everyone has a simple mentality of not burdening others. Who would have thought that the consequences would be so serious, and one death would cause a huge area!
Song Youcai led Liang Chuan to the small village where Hong Bufan settled, called Xilin Village, which was not far from Maixie Village. The disaster here was even more serious!
When Liang Chuan entered the village, he saw a large pile of freshly burned charcoal piled at the entrance of the village! There are white leg bones on top that cannot be burned through. .
Seeing this scene, even a tough man like Song Youcai who had climbed out of the dead could not hold on. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he ran to the side and sobbed secretly.
Xilin Village was almost deserted. Most of the young people in the village went out to make a living, and there were not many elderly people. Hong Bufan and others took the money to buy the old houses and dry land in the village with them, and settled here!
The more elderly people there are, the more serious the disaster will be. Many elderly people were dragged to the mountains when they died. They didn't even have thin wooden coffins and were buried directly in the ground. Some were burned to ashes first and then buried. .
At the end of the burning, there is not enough firewood. Winter is coming. If you don’t prepare some firewood, you will only suffer in the future!
Because burning is easier than burying. If there are no family members, the ashes will disappear with the wind anyway.
Xilin Village was more seriously affected by the plague than Maixie Village!
The people in the village watched Liang Chuan's arrival indifferently. Many of them were farmers in Liangjiazhuang, but they had never met Liang Chuan a few times because they didn't have a deep impression, let alone Nihu. The refugee is a strange old man.
The villagers were just surprised. At this time, the village was shrouded in plague. Who would be so fearless about death that they would sneak into the village?
They knew Song Youcai, he was a military householder and he had fought in Guyuan. .
When Song Youcai saw this scene, his heart was broken, and he took Liang Chuan straight to Hong Bufan's home.
It turned out that the strong and handsome Hong Bufan, a particularly outstanding man from northern Shaanxi, had also contracted the epidemic at this time. His whole body was vomiting and excreting, and the room was full of vomiting and excretion. What a good man, at this time He was completely tortured to the point of being reduced to a human shape, leaving only skin and bones. He was lying on the bed. The food on the cold stove in the room had gone rancid. It was obvious that he had not eaten normal food for more than ten days!
Hong Bufan was lying on the bed furious, his eyes were sunken deeply, and there was no sparkle in his eyes at all. He was just waiting for the Lord of Hell to take him in and take him away when he was in a good mood.
He didn't starve to death in northern Shaanxi, but he didn't expect that he would die in this way in a foreign land in the south!
He also didn't expect that Liang Chuan would appear in front of him when he was dying. At this moment, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. The withered and lifeless eyes regained life. Liang Chuan grabbed his hand and said: "I'm late!"
"Dong...home..." Hong Bufan only had the energy to come out, as if he might die at any moment!
"Stop talking, I'll ask Song Youcai to give you some rice porridge. Hold on, the best doctor is coming!"
"Okay... when we see... our boss is back... we will be saved!"
Liang Chuan has hope and even more faith!
Seeing this scene, Liang Chuan couldn't help but want to shed tears. He thought that there would be a better way out for these refugees to come to Xinghua in the south. He didn't expect that their situation was so difficult at the moment. He felt ashamed of them. !
Xilin Village is also similar to Maixie Village. The environmental sanitation in the village is quite poor, and sewage and feces are discharged everywhere. If the environment in every ordinary person's home is kept clean, there will be fewer illnesses among the people in the home. The environment at home is messy, and there are usually several people lying on hospital beds!
Liang Chuan visited many homes, and the situation was generally the same. Almost every home had a death, and every household had patients. Xilin Village was lifeless, with no sign of life!
After Liang Chuan handed Hong Bufan to Song Youcai, he rushed down the mountain with Nihu without stopping. If he delayed any longer, the mountain people would be in even greater danger!
Song Youcai followed Liang Chuan's instructions and first covered his mouth and nose with a thick cloth. Then he went to the creek at the foot of the mountain to fetch clear water. He first cleaned Hong Bufan's house and then cooked a pot of porridge for Hong Bufan. .
The mountain road was rugged, but Liang Chuan and Nihu, an old man and a young man, ran as fast as the wind under their feet. This was due to the skills they had developed in the forest in the mountains. For Nihu, this kind of skills was the key to survival. Essential skills. It took half a day to go up the mountain and the whole trip down the mountain. In a short time, we arrived at Helu Village.
All kinds of tragic situations lingered in Liang Chuan's mind, and he just wanted to go faster, faster!
He Baozheng came to look for Liang Chuan early in the morning, but found that Liang Chuan and the two sworn brothers had disappeared. After asking, it turned out that Liang Chuan had gone up the mountain!
After the sun set, He Baozheng came to look for him again. He only saw him and the old guy Nihu. The two of them rushed down the mountain road like their butts were on fire. They didn't even say hello: "He Baozheng just shouted a few dollars." Go back to the village quickly, and ask the villagers not to leave their homes these days!" The shadow swooshed, found two horses in the village, and disappeared in the direction of Xinghua!
Why are you so anxious?
Why can't I go out? Did something happen on the mountain?
When he saw Nihu, his first thought was: Could there be trouble on the mountain again?
The turmoil caused by the two brothers Lin Ju and Lin Yi in the past few years was still fresh in his mind. The losses in Helu Village were small, but many young and good young people still died. The losses in the mountains were even greater that time, no matter what He didn't want to see that scene again!
Liang Chuan's words are naturally correct, and in such a hurry, the situation must be urgent! He immediately ran to the ancestral hall, picked up the gong and beat it everywhere. He ran from Helu to Chihe. When he saw people, he shouted, "There's something going on on the mountain. Don't go out!" "
The members of the adult management brigades from the four villages gathered together urgently, and all of them were fully armed and guarded the village entrance. This system was quite complete. Even when there was nothing normal, the team members would also practice under the leadership of the team leader. In addition to being stationed at Qingyuan’s brothers, all the others are left to guard the village!
Although they didn't know what was going on, they were all so excited that it couldn't be possible. . The opportunity to make money is here again!
Yes, that time the two brothers Lin Ju and Lin Yi rebelled, which made many people in the adult management team make a lot of money!
Liang Chuan passed by the house without entering because he was afraid that he was infected with the plague virus without knowing it. If he returned home and infected Xiaocheng and his youngest son at home, everything would be over! Besides, there was no way to save Hong Bufan at home. The miracle doctor was in Qingyuan at the moment. It would have been easier if I had brought the two miracle doctors An and Huang with me!
Liang Chuan first ran to the Xinghua County Government Office. The gatekeeper was still the old man. He spent a small amount of money to establish a relationship. Liang Chuan went straight to Duan Peng's residence. Duan Peng heard that Liang Chuan was back, and Fengshan Township held a grand ceremony for the boy. For the celebration ceremony, a theater troupe was invited, and many people from Xinghua came to attend the opera. He had heard about all this, and wanted to visit Liang Chuan, but he was busy with official duties, but couldn't get away for the moment!
Liang Chuan was still the same Liang Chuan, with a scent of vicissitudes of life on his body, and a golden seal on his face. He also heard many anecdotes about Liang Chuan that happened in Bianjing, and wanted to exchange a few words with Liang Chuan. Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan... When we met, we didn’t even have to be polite and just got straight to the point!
"Master Zhijun, a plague has broken out in Shicang Township, and the mountain people have suffered numerous casualties. Please use your noble hands to save the mountain people!"
"What!" Duan Peng thought he heard wrong, plague!
One of the achievements of these officials is disaster relief and epidemic prevention. If a major plague breaks out in the area and kills many people, then the chief official will definitely be unlucky and may be impeached by the imperial censor!
In recent years, under the governance of Duan Peng, Xinghua has greatly changed the corrupt and dark situation during Song Guangdou's reign. The entire officialdom has taken on a new look, and the people's lives have also gained hope. He not only vigorously encouraged farmers to control mulberry trees, but also improved water conservancy. It has stopped a lot over the years!
A plague broke out!
Duan Peng checked again and again: "Is the information accurate? Someone, summon Li Dutou immediately!"
Li Chengfu's good days over the past few years have come to an end. Duan Peng governs the Xinghua Army as strictly as he governs the army. He is strict to the core. Anyone who commits adultery will be held accountable and imprisoned by him. The head of the man named Wu was given to Duan Peng. Sent to build the city wall, Li Chengfu is now just an errand boy. He has to do all the dirty work, otherwise he has to get out!
When Duan Peng called him and cursed her, he could only report it obediently.
As soon as I entered the room, I looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance!
