Chapter 367: Looking Back Without a Moon
The epidemic was raging, and many people died in a short period of time. Many people have died, and the epidemic continues to spread uncontrollably, and many more will die.
The court has been informed. Some people are afraid that the black yarn will not be safe, and while suppressing the news to appease the emperor, they want to compress the consequences as much as possible within the scope that the emperor can accept. Then he sent a document downward, ordering that the epidemic must be controlled.
When the documents arrived in the state capitals, the states issued documents according to the situation under their jurisdiction in order to keep the black yarn hat. In some places, it is easy to relax, but it is simply uploaded and issued, and in other places, when the situation is not good, a death order is sent downward, stating the number of deaths and the time limit for disaster relief.
This county and the local area are the hardest hit areas, and they have received death orders.
The death toll has already exceeded the quota, and the officials and lords are afraid that the black yarn and the head will not be guaranteed, so they will try their best to take countermeasures. Later, someone came up with a plan to write the words "water and fire" on a piece of paper.
Water, adults can understand, it is nothing more than intercepting the flow and sealing the dam to cut off the problem water source.
The word fire also knows that the corpses of patients who died of the plague and their belongings were burned to ensure that the epidemic did not spread.
It's just that this move is beneficial to the small people, but it can't save their heads?
After pondering it again, after recalling it, a circle was drawn on the word fire, and there were other intentions.
As a result, the adults who turned their worries into joys seconded government soldiers everywhere and began to suppress/suppress the infected villages and implement a ban on them. And those suspected of being infected with the plague were burned on a large scale, whether they died or not, whether they were infected or not, as long as they looked like they had the disease, they were all incinerated on the spot.
With such a deprivation of children and grandchildren, the epidemic will naturally be brought under control.
Afterwards, the number of epidemic patients will naturally be rated within a controllable range, and the rest will be reported separately if there is a fire accident. It's better to have a few more things to be punished, than to plant yourself in one thing to the end and lose your head-the official said.
When Huan Yan and the others left, the government soldiers were still setting fire to other villages, and they swept all the way here in the evening.
The village was surrounded, a fire was erected, and a forced search was carried from house to house, life and death were mixed, dragging a bunch of people to the fire. The whole village, men, women and children, was crying.
The aunt who had quarreled with the Huanyan River, someone in his family was also infected with the plague.
Seeing that her husband and children were going to be burned alive together, she rolled on the ground and broke her liver and intestines: "You plague god, why did you find our family! You are all dead, how can I live as a woman! You plague god......
Crying and shouting, a flash of inspiration occurred, and he dragged his snot and suddenly ran to pick the leg of the government soldier, "My lord, my lord, I remembered." The people in our village are not sick by themselves, there is a plague god, there is a plague god!"
Some people knew that she was going to climb the Huanyan family again, and they immediately despised it.
The woman scolded back: "You idiot who eats people's food and grows pig brains, wait until you have the ability to save the life of the whole family, come and scold me again!"
After scolding, he continued to hug his legs, "My lord, really! There is a plague god in our village, and she can't eat anything she touches, and she will get sick if she eats it." Right now, the people in the village, no, the people in the ten miles and eight towns are sick, it must be her fault!"
The soldiers didn't bother to pay attention to her, and when the boss urged her to work, he pulled her hair down and shouted: "If you don't let go, Lao Tzu will burn you together!"
The woman did not care about the pain, because a few words floated into her ears, and she thought of a new word, and hugged his leg and continued to shout: "My lord!
The soldiers were stunned.
Then he thought about it and reported it to the leader.
The leader of the group came and asked the woman, "Where is the plague god?"
The woman was overjoyed: "Her house is in front, I'll bring the adults over!"
Huan Yan's family was the only one left in her mother, and the woman didn't find anyone inside or out, so she was forced to ask by the soldiers of Nafu in a hurry, so she pointed to the woman and said, "The one I'm talking about is the little plague god, this is the big plague god!
The government soldiers didn't study with her in detail, and when they heard the words, they escorted Huan Yanniang and left.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as there are witnesses in this village, what if a plague god is born? The key is to help the adults and the brothers who run errands to reduce their responsibilities. Maybe you'll get some rewards, so why not?!
When they arrived at the fire, everyone saw that it was not Huan Yan who was dragged in, but Huan Yan Niang, and they felt more and more disgusted with the woman's casual bite.
The patriarch had just settled down his family, and he also rushed over at this time. Seeing this, he was angry, held a cigarette pouch and pointed at the woman, and trembled for a long time before gritting his teeth and squeezing out a sentence: "You, you poisonous woman who can't die well!"
The woman snorted and replied to him, "I don't have to worry about how I die." Just think about it, how do you choose between a person and a village?"
The patriarch was dumbfounded.
The contemptuous invective then faded away.
Huan Yanniang saw everything in her eyes, her hopes gradually shattered, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, she knew the warmth and coldness of people, and she knew the faces of everyone, so she had extravagant hopes, ridiculous, ridiculous!
Then, no longer struggling, no crying, no sorrow or joy, quietly and quietly fiddling, waiting to be burned.
Life will always face choices, especially in the face of life and death, but in the end, there will be a trade-off.
The mother gave up herself to protect her daughter, although she gave up but had no regrets; the husband gave up her wife to protect her family, although she had regrets but not affection; the official lord gave up the original intention of the son in order to protect the black yarn, although he did not see the current lack, he finally lost his face to the historical pen and was fearless.
Women, villagers, and patriarchs give up one person to protect their own family and to protect others, even though they are the same person, what they lose is divided into conscience, right and wrong, and public heart. Although there are differences, they all choose to bow their heads in the face of power, sacrificing their lives of others, and it is difficult to ensure that they are worthy of admiration.
In the final analysis, everyone's choice is actually my heart, and the lack of heart is the root of gain and loss, not what I see in my eyes for a while.
When the mother was about to die generously, the daughter arrived at the entrance of the village.
is also a good heart, Huan Yan looked at the fire in the village, felt that it was wrong, did not enter the house, and ran towards the firelight.
"Mother, mother!"
Huan Yanniang heard the familiar shouts and was shocked. Following the voice, if the young girl came, I couldn't help but feel anxious. didn't dare to respond, and hurriedly hinted at his eyebrows, urging Huan Yan to leave quickly.
Huan Yan originally returned to save his mother, how could he give up? Even if he understood it, he would choose to ignore it.
The mother and daughter were each anxious for each other, and the woman was overjoyed when she saw her happy face.
Pointing at Huan Yan, he shouted at the leader of the Nafu soldiers as if he were crazy: "My lord, my lord, the plague god is here! This is what I said before! It's her!"
Huan Yan Niang was finally provoked by her, and said fiercely: "You are a dog that no one has taught, my son is so decent, there is no illness at all, what does it have to do with the word plague? What kind of plague god is coming! Since you are a god, you mortal eyes can see it? I'm afraid that before you see the real body, you are already dead and have no place to be buried!"
On the other end, Huan Yan was also shouting to the government soldiers: "Let my mother go! I have a way to save people!"
The mother didn't care about scolding anymore, so she turned to her daughter and shouted, "Who told you to come?
With a sentence of "hurry up", the government soldiers moved.
