Chapter Ninety-Four: Happy Birthday, Yuqing
What?"
Zhong Bo was stunned, grabbed his daughter's arm violently, lifted her sleeve and saw that her entire arm was black, and there were several pustules on it.
Zhong Bo was flustered for a while, pointed to his daughter, and said with trembling hands: "It's not that you should hide at home and not come out...... You...... Why are you still running around?"
"Dad...... Ah Hai was infected with rat plague, and I ...... I'm going to take care of him!"
The girl burst into tears, knelt in front of her father and begged, "Dad, I can't just look at Ah Hai, please ......"
"Don't say it!" Uncle Zhong simply interrupted his daughter's words, and after a long sigh, he said to the people around him: "Send her into the compound!"
"Dad, don't ...... No...... I don't want to die!"
As Uncle Zhong finished speaking, two people came over and grabbed the girl's arm. At this time, Uncle Zhong was heartbroken, but when his daughter was sent to the compound, he didn't even look back!
In Zhong Bo's view, this is a curse for the village, and no one can change the status quo. In order to protect the villagers who live in the village, only a part of the people can be sacrificed.
"Master, do you see it? This is Uncle Zhong...... In this village, he has extremely high prestige, and no one dares to disobey his words!"
"Well, he deserves respect...... At the same time, he is stubborn, how many people do you want to kill?"
Ren Yun let out a rough breath, stepped forward and said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, what is the curse of this village?
"It doesn't matter what you outsiders do!" Uncle Zhong didn't pay attention to Ren Yun, but said to a few villagers: "Doctor Huang has cured many people's illnesses in our village...... Don't curse and kill Dr. Huang and his master!
Take Dr. Huang to the creek and let them leave by water!"
Huang Jian stayed in this village for a few days and treated them for their illness, so Zhong Bo still respected Huang Jian more.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Uncle Zhong, hundreds of lives are hanging by a thread...... If you're stubborn, don't blame me......"
Even Ren Yun was a little anxious, almost every once in a while someone would die, if Uncle Zhong didn't listen to persuasion, Ren Yun wanted to control him first.
"What? You're going to be rough with me? Then step over my corpse first!"
"If you want to move Uncle Zhong, you have to ask our villagers if they agree!"
"Little brother, my dad is also locked up in the compound...... Don't I want to save him? But it's a curse!
"Little brother, we are not confused, we can see that you and Dr. Huang are good people...... But it's a curse, and no one can come into contact with these people who have rat plague!"
"Hey, let's listen to Uncle Zhong...... You and Dr. Huang are leaving the waterway!"
These people listened to Zhong Bo's words, and a human wall surrounded Ren Yuntuan.
But many of these people shed tears. Almost everyone had one or two family members who were locked up in the compound.
"Uncle Zhong, what kind of curse do you say, what does it matter?"
"Since Dr. Huang asked, how dare I hide it?" Uncle Zhong respected Huang Jian very much, and immediately said slowly: "There is a record in the family tree that every two hundred years, a natural disaster will befall Zhongjiazhuang...... This natural disaster is rat plague!
Every time there is a rat plague, a third of Zhongjiazhuang will die...... Hey, this rat plague, I didn't believe in evil at first, and I asked those doctors to treat people who had rat plague...... I'm a sinner, I didn't listen to the family motto, I'm afraid that more than half of the villagers will die from this rat plague!
It's a curse! It's a natural disaster! No amount of good medicine can heal them!"
"Uncle Zhong, don't blame yourself...... You just want the villagers to live!"
"Doctor Huang, there are more than a dozen doctors who have come in, and you know a lot of people...... You also said that they are well-known throughout the country, but this is a curse, and they cannot be cured at all. ”
“……”
From the words of Uncle Zhong and those villagers, Ren Yun probably understood.
Zhongjiazhuang has had the first rat plague since a thousand years ago. By the time of this rat plague, they had experienced a total of five catastrophes.
The genealogy clearly records that this is a curse, a natural disaster, and the only way to deal with it is to quickly isolate these people who suffer from rat plague.
But after all, he is a modern person, and Zhong Bo is skeptical of what he said in the group training. Therefore, the doctors who came from all over the country, Zhong Bo still asked them to try.
While these doctors were treating them, ordinary villagers came into contact with those suffering from rat plague, and more people were infected with rat plague. Originally, one-third of the people would die in each catastrophe, but this time, because of Uncle Zhong's decision, I am afraid that half of the people in this village will die.
Therefore, at this time, Zhong Bo was extremely annoyed and did not dare to let anyone contact those who suffered from rat plague again, so as not to prevent the rat plague from continuing to spread.
"Master, could it really be a curse? There are many doctors who entered the village before and I know them!"
Baiyitang is famous, and Huang Jian is also friends with many famous doctors.
"Curse? ridiculous!" Ren Yun glared at Huang Jian, and then said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, this is really not a curse...... Do you think this is going to happen? You release a few people infected with rat plague, and I can treat them first?"
Those who have rat plague must be quarantined...... Once released, they will run wild, and some of the villagers will be infected with rat plague again. ”
"And we also summed it up, infected with rat plague, the first hour will only have a fever, but it is not very contagious. But after an hour, their bodies began to fester, and they gradually lost consciousness...... Until death. ”
"Yes, wait a few days...... If all the people in the compound die, it will be burned, and this rat plague will come to an end. ”
"My son...... Let me send the white-haired man to the black-haired man!"
Thinking of a few more people, the relatives in the compound were burned to ashes, and these villagers wept.
Looking at these villagers, Ren Yun shook his head helplessly, picked up a piece of steamed bun from the ground, and said helplessly: "It seems that there is only one way left now...... I have to get rat plague to come into contact with these patients!"
"You...... Don't eat this steamed bun, you'll get rat plague!"
"Oh, little brother, as long as you eat their leftover food and water, you will definitely be infected with rat plague!"
The steamed bun on the ground was black, and Ren Yun could see that this steamed bun was left over from the person who was infected with rat plague. It was important to save people, and Ren Yun didn't care whether the steamed buns were clean or not, so he put them in his mouth and took a big bite.
"Master...... I'm hungry too!"
At this time, Huang Jian suddenly snatched the steamed buns in Ren Yun's hand, and half-pulled the steamed buns and stuffed them all into his mouth. Ren Yun shook his head and said, "Hey, why are you doing this? But I won't let you down. ”
At this time, Uncle Zhong was depressed, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said to himself: "This has never happened in the family tree...... It stands to reason that I'm not in a position to lock you two up...... But let you two go, I'm afraid you'll infect more people!"
"Uncle Zhong, just put me in the compound!" Ren Yun smiled and continued to say to Uncle Zhong: "But I have a few requests, first, please allow me to drive the car into the compound, second, prepare a few cauldrons for me, and third, I still need some wood!"
"Do as this little brother says!"
Zhong Bo's tears were in his eyes, and he stared at Ren Yun and said, "Little brother...... You are a senseless sacrifice! But your spirit has infected me and each and every one of us!
I...... I hope for a miracle!"
"Uncle Zhong, open the door at five o'clock tomorrow morning!"
For the first hour after being infected with rat plague, there was little contagion. Therefore, Zhong Bo and these villagers were not afraid of contact with Ren Yun, and hurriedly prepared according to what he said.
"Master, do you think we can still get out of the compound?"
"No...... It's not just us!, it's all about coming out alive. ”
Huang Jian nodded heavily, opened the door of the compound, and Ren Yun drove the car into the compound.
"You two ......"
"Xiaofang, Master and I are here to save you...... How many more people are conscious? Let them come and help!"
People who have rat plague will lose consciousness after about two or three hours. They are not aggressive, or they walk around the yard or hide in the shadows.
At this time, most of the people in the courtyard lost their minds, but like Uncle Zhong's daughter Xiaofang, they were thrown into the compound not long ago, and their minds were not confused at this time.
No one wanted to die, Xiao Fang and they regarded Ren Yun as their only dependence, and hurriedly ran over to help.
Half an hour later, several large cauldrons boiled Chinese medicine.
"Rainy and sunny...... Happy birthday!"
Looking at the watch on his wrist, Ren Yun muttered to himself. It's past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and today is Han Yuqing's birthday.
It's a pity that Ren Yun's phone is out of battery, and he can't even send her a text message.
Early the next morning, Zhong Bo and the rest of the villagers gathered at the gate of the compound early.
"Uncle Zhong, there's still movement inside!"
"Nonsense! Even if it's a rat plague, it can't kill everyone overnight!"
"Hey, it's a pity for Dr. Huang...... And the little brother. ”
It was already five o'clock in the morning, and there was still movement in the compound, but Zhong Bo didn't know the situation inside, so he didn't dare to open the gate casually.
"Uncle Zhong, why haven't you opened the door yet?"
Suddenly, Ren Yun's voice came from the compound.
"What...... Six or seven hours have passed, how can he still speak normally?"
"Dad...... I'm Xiaofang! We're all right!"
"Xiao Fang...... Fast...... Open the door!"
"Haha, Lao Tzu is not dead! Shufen, are you outside? Do you want to remarry?"
"Nonsense! The old lady is ready to live as a widow for you for the rest of your life...... Open the door!"
The moment the gate opened, hundreds of people poured out of the compound.
After taking the Chinese medicine prepared by Ren Yun, those patients who lost their minds woke up in about two or three hours.
"Xiaofang, do you hate your dad to death? But for the sake of the villagers, dad has no choice. ”
"Dad, I don't hate you...... Ah Hai is also alive......"
"Okay, Dad will no longer object to the matter between you and Ah Hai!"
"What a miracle doctor...... You saved our whole village!"
"Little brother, I'm an old fool, where is this curse, I will record your deeds in the genealogy of our village!"
"Miracle Doctor...... If my man dies, I don't want to live...... I...... I...... I'm kowtowing to you!"
"Divine doctor, I kowtowed too! You saved our family's life!"
The grace of saving lives was unrewarded, and all of these simple villagers, including Zhong Bo, knelt in front of Ren Yun.
Ren Yun's eyes were a little red, he didn't feel complacent about saving so many people, but he was willing to see this kind of warm picture.
"Master...... I really didn't follow the wrong person!" Huang Jian wiped his tears, and said in a choked voice: "Master, didn't you say that today is the birthday of the master's mother? It's too late to rush back now!"
Ren Yun looked at the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning, if he drove back immediately now, he really couldn't delay Han Yuqing's birthday party......
