Chapter Eighty-Eight: Good Intentions and Evil Retribution
At that time, Xitouling became panicked, no one dared to say a word to outsiders, and as long as one person in the family was infected, the whole family must be isolated, which is equivalent to sentencing the whole family to death!
The educated youths who were with Du Jianguo, but all those who had a way to go back to the city, and those who couldn't go back really didn't have a way back, and they didn't stay in Xitouling anymore, so they all secretly ran home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Du Jianguo didn't leave, because he couldn't leave Xia Qingqing alone at this time, and there was one thing that Du Jianguo couldn't figure out, how could leprosy suddenly break out in Xitouling?
Just as he was pondering this question, one morning, he got up to wash up as usual, when he suddenly saw a dark red patch on his arm.
Du Jianguo knew in his heart that he was also infected with leprosy, but in order not to isolate himself like those patients, he decided to hide this matter first. So he also began to wear only long clothes and trousers, and did not contact other people when he was fine, so as not to infect others.
In this way, Du Jianguo secretly hid alone for a few days, but he suddenly remembered one thing, didn't the man and woman they rescued from the sea before be exactly like him now?
As soon as he thought of this question, Du Jianguo's head buzzed, could it really be these two people who brought leprosy here? He could not accept this reality for a while, didn't they come to save people? Why did they suffer retribution instead? Why is God so unfair!
In order to confirm his thoughts, Du Jianguo went crazy and ran to the house where the two people lived, only to find that the door was plugged in from the inside, so he slammed the door hard, "Open the door!
But there was no one in the house for a long time, Du Jianguo's heart was anxious and angry at this time, he shouted almost frantically inside, "Open the door quickly, you two beasts are not as good as you, if you don't open the door again, I will kick the door!"
His voice attracted the onlookers of the villagers passing by, and they were all curious about what made Du Jianguo, a young intellectual, who had always been mild-mannered, so angry.
With a "squeak...... door, the door was opened from the inside, and suddenly a foul smell came from the door, and several people who were watching the excitement retreated again and again. Du Jianguo walked in with an arrow step, only to see that the light inside was very dim, and he could vaguely see that there was a person lying on the bed and a person sitting in front of the table.
The man lying on the bed looked like the man, and the woman sitting at the table wrapped her head in a gray cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes outside. Du Jianguo walked quickly to the bed and took a look, his heart sank suddenly, and his stomach suddenly felt a burst of nausea.
It turned out that the man had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and the body had begun to decompose and blacken.
"What's going on? Did you always know that you had leprosy!" Du Jianguo said angrily.
As soon as the villagers outside the door heard the word leprosy, they immediately dispersed in fright, and some people immediately ran to call the village party secretary.
As soon as the village party secretary heard that the two dead drifters caught from the sea were the source of the leprosy, he slapped his thigh angrily and said, "I said that I can't save it! I want to save it! Now it's good, how many people have been killed!" So he took a few militiamen and hurried to the place where the two people were going.
Du Jianguo was trembling with anger at this time, and he couldn't say a word. These intellectuals kindly saved the two of them, but they knew that they were sick but didn't say anything......
The woman listened quietly, without arguing a word, perhaps knowing that her time was running out, so she didn't want to bother arguing.
After the village party secretary came, without saying a word, he put the woman in a sack and sent her into the quarantine area, and then immediately organized people to burn the house where the two people lived along with the bodies in the house.
A few days after the woman was thrown into quarantine, she died. Gu said that no one in the female patient was willing to take care of her, and in the end, Xia Qingqing couldn't bear it, so she brought some water and food, but she didn't eat a bite, and she swallowed after a few days.
After that, the village people held a plenary meeting, and the party secretary proposed a plan once and for all, which can completely curb the current condition, but this method can only be implemented after all the people in the village agree to sign, because the village party secretary also knows what the law is not responsible for.
His method is also very simple, and it is also the old method of the leprosy outbreak in the early years, which is to gather all the infected patients into a large fishing boat, and then let them drift out to sea, as far as they can go, whether they live or die, and now think about it, the man and woman should have been thrown into the sea like this.
Du Jianguo was the first to stand up against it, this method has too many drawbacks, and it will spread the epidemic to other places without restrictions, and now Xitouling is a living example!
However, the village party secretary said that Du Jianguo was not from the village and had no right to vote, and finally the people in the village unanimously approved this method......
It was a calm dawn, and the whole village with torches in hand, and the village militia with rifles, drove all the sick people to the only large fishing boat in the village.
These men and women, old and young, add up to a hundred and ten people, and they are so densely packed with a whole boat. Du Jianguo watched Xia Qingqing get on the boat with a desperate face, and his heart suddenly felt broken, but there was no way to save her.
He looked at Xia Qingqing, and thought of his illness, if he continued to stay without telling everyone, then the rest of the people would have no way to live. Thinking of this, he suddenly ran like crazy to the fishing boat that had just lifted anchor, and climbed up desperately.
The people on the shore were all shocked, they didn't understand that it was time for this educated youth to be so impulsive, who didn't have a relative or friend on that boat? But they wouldn't be as stupid as Du Jianguo.
At this time, the sun slowly rose from the east, reflecting a fiery red morning glow, and the village accountant Wu said to the branch secretary uneasily, "How far can they drift? Will they come back in a few days?" ”
The village party secretary shook his head and said, "No, they will never come back!"
Accountant Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why the branch secretary was so sure, but how did he know that the village party secretary was an old fisherman for many years, just look up at the sky to know whether it is cloudy or sunny today, just look at the fiery morning glow now, I am afraid that it will not take half a day, and there will be a typhoon in this sea area......
