Chapter 219: Burning the Living

Yunhuazhai at night is very beautiful, the faint tree fragrance from the fir makes people feel refreshed, the building made of wood is the characteristic of Yunhuazhai, it is very backward here, even the most basic electricity is not available.

A month ago, this place was full of peace, and in the blink of an eye, a month later, it was shrouded in panic, and the damned epidemic put everyone at risk, and in ten days, twenty or thirty people had died one after another.

Far away, Li Lin saw piles of flames burning, the small Yunhua Village was shrouded in crying, and looked carefully at the nearest fire, there were about 20 people around the edge of the fire, and in the middle was a high platform built with mahogany branches, and in the flames, Li Lin also saw a figure.

At this time, the people next to him were holding clothes and throwing them on the fire, crying.

"Looks like someone has passed away again. Haixin muttered to herself, her pretty face gloomy.

"Hmm. Cremation should be the best option, otherwise the disease will spread to others. Li Lin took a deep breath, and walked towards the stockade with Haixin, he pondered as he walked, what is this epidemic, but he is also secretly glad that looking at this situation, the epidemic has not yet reached the time of a major outbreak, otherwise it would not be such a scene......

At this time, in a house in the center of Yunhua Village, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old was pacing back and forth in the house, his face was ugly, he was the patriarch of Yunhua Village, Hai Xiongfeng, and Haixin's father.

Today, five clansmen died in the village in a row, which made him the patriarch heartbroken, and what made him even more anxious was that his youngest son Haikuo, who was only a few years old and seven years old, was also in condition this afternoon, and his body was densely covered with red spots, and he also had a serious high fever.

There is another thing that makes Haixiongfeng anxious, that is, Haixin, has been gone for eight or nine days, and has not come back until now, Haixin has never been far away, this time he went out with the lives of the whole village people on his back, he was worried about the lives of the people of the village, and he was even more worried about Haixin's safety, after all, it was his own flesh and blood.

The candle lamp was blown into the room by the breeze, and a middle-aged woman who looked to be about forty years old covered the little boy lying on the bed, and then walked to Hai Xiongfeng's side, she was Hai Xin's mother, Hai Xiongfeng's wife, Feng Zhuyun.

"Sleeping?"

Haixiongfeng glanced back at Feng Zhuyun.

"Hmm. I just fell asleep, and the high fever still doesn't go away, what can I do......" Feng Zhuyun sighed and said: "Why don't we take Kuo'er out for medical treatment, if we wait like this, I'm afraid it will be more auspicious and less ......" Feng Zhuyun just sighed, she didn't cry like other women.

Hearing this, Hai Xiongfeng frowned, looked at Hai Kuo lying on the bed, he clenched his fists, and said: "I'm afraid it's not okay to go out, Kuo'er is very weak now, and he can't bear it on the mountain road for more than 100 miles, and besides, those quacks in Guyun Town will definitely not be able to see it!"

Feng Zhuyun nodded silently and said, "It's been the ninth day since Haixin went out, and there is no news yet, don't let anything happen, she has never been outside." It can't be that you've met some bad guys......"

"Probably not...... Hai Xiongfeng looked up into the distance, tears were circulating in his eyes, he didn't know Haixin's current situation, he hadn't heard from him for eight or nine days, and he was even more worried about Haixin's accident.

But as a man, as the head of the family, he knows very well that whoever is messing up at this time, he can't mess up, otherwise it will really be over!

"Well, I'm going to put incense on the pillar and pray for the two children......"

Feng Zhuyun said, and walked to another room, and in the moonlight, she could clearly see the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, but it was the same, she didn't cry, no matter how hard it was, even if the two children really went, she had to be strong!

When Feng Zhuyun went out, Haixiong Feng sat down on the wooden chair, looking at Hai Kuo lying on the bed, he sighed first, and then he rolled up his sleeves, and it was visible on his arms, dense little red dots grew out, and they were spreading rapidly......

"Damn the blight!"

Looking at his arms full of red spots, Hai Xiongfeng gritted his teeth, and his face became even more ugly. At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and three or four clansmen hurried over.

"Patriarch, patriarch, no. The third uncle is going to die, go over and take a look!" Before the person arrived, the voice had already come, and a young man who looked to be in his thirties pushed the door and walked in, followed by two people, the young man said, he looked at Haikuo lying on the bed, and said, "Patriarch, how is Haikuo?"

"It's getting worse and worse, and the high fever doesn't go away......"

Haixiongfeng responded, and said to the young man: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

"Let's go!"

The young man answered, and just when he saw Feng Zhuyun coming out, he looked at Feng Zhuyun, and in the dim room, his eyes flashed with a hint of greed. Feng Zhuyun is very beautiful, although she is almost forty years old, but compared with before, not only is she not aging, she is still so beautiful, and she has a little more charm than before.

"Sister-in-law......" The young man greeted Feng Zhuyun.

"Hmm. It's Haiyun coming. Is the third uncle serious?" Feng Zhuyun asked with a slight lock.

"I'm afraid it's going to be gone. Sister-in-law, it's cold, you wear more. Haiyun said this, and followed Haixiongfeng out quickly.

Watching a few people go out, Feng Zhuyun moved a chair and sat at the door, looking at the sky, her face showed some bitterness, "Bodhisattva." Bless our family and everyone in the village. ”

Now, she hopes that Haixin will come back, but she doesn't want Haixin to come back, five people have died in one day, and she knows very well that more people will die next, including herself, and then it will be a truly terrifying scene.

If Haixin doesn't come back, even if she is taken away by the bad guys, as long as she is not killed, even if she is abducted, it is better than returning here, because that is the only hope for survival.

"Haixin ......"

Feng Zhuyun smiled bitterly again.

Just as she prayed, Haixiongfeng, who had not left for a short time, walked back violently, and as soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he roared, "Nonsense, these bastards can come up with such a cruel method, they are even worse than ...... beasts."

"What's wrong, why is there such a big fire?" asked Feng Zhuyun puzzled.

"Those bullshit elders, usually all of them are sanctimonious, they can come up with such a cruel method, they actually want to burn all the people infected with the epidemic to death, and use this vicious method to stop the spread of the epidemic......" Haixiongfeng knocked his fist on the stake and said, "I don't agree, I won't agree anyway!"

Hearing this, Feng Zhuyun's face changed greatly, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "Who came up with such a vicious method to burn people alive, they are our clansmen, how can we watch them being brutally burned to death......"

"Who else could there be, it's those bullshit elders!" Hai Xiongfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"If several elders agree, I'm afraid that you, the patriarch, won't be able to stop it......" Feng Zhuyun bit her lip and said.

In this ancient cottage, there is a strict management method, Hai Xiongfeng, as the patriarch, should be the most authoritative person to speak, but this is not the case, usually the small things in the village Hai Xiongfeng can be the master of the whole matter, but when encountering this kind of life, it is related to the life of the whole village. Hai Xiongfeng's words are not the most effective, there are a total of seven elders in the village, and if these seven people agree with each other, they can even remove Hai Xiongfeng, the patriarch, that is, if they all agree to do this, Hai Xiongfeng will not be able to stop it.

"A bunch of bastards, a bunch of bastards!" Haixiongfeng roared twice, then looked at Haikuo who was lying on the bed, and said: "Damn, since you can't stop it, the child's life will be handed over to you, while it's dark, you sneak out with Kuo'er, this is the only way out!"

"Remember, don't come back after you go out, and remember our daughter, she may be the only bloodline of my Haixiongfeng......"

"And what do you do?"

Feng Zhuyun frowned, and then she shook her head and said, "I can't go, no matter what, I won't leave, I can't leave you here alone, if you die, our family will die together!"

"Nonsense!"

Haixiong Feng suddenly roared, pointed at Feng Zhuyun and said, "Do you know, this is not yourself, and the child!" After that, he hurried into the house and began to pack up for Feng Zhuyun, muttering to himself, "You must go, you must go, you can't stay here, otherwise there will be no way to live......"

"This epidemic is so terrifying, even if the doctor comes, he will be helpless, I can't bother you......"

Watching Haixiong Feng pack up her things, Feng Zhuyun finally couldn't control her emotions, at this time, she had already made a decision in her heart, although escaping would leave a stench for 10,000 years, but, for the heart of the sea, for the sake of the sea, she was willing to bear this infamy, even if she died, she would admit it.

Just when Haixiongfeng had laid the package and was about to go out with Haikuo and Fengzhuyun, on the path in front of the door, more than a dozen people hurriedly walked over, and the one who walked in front was the Haiyun, and behind him were seven or eight old men who looked fifty or sixty years old, and these old men were the elders of Yunhuazhai.

"Elder. Patriarch Haixiong Feng is very dissatisfied with your decision, and he wants to leave with Feng Zhuyun and Haikuo...... I suspect that he had known that there would be a day, and let Haixin go out, not to find a doctor, but to let her escape first. Haiyun said to a few elders, and inadvertently, a sneer appeared on his face.

"Hmph. This Hai Xiongfeng is really becoming more and more ignorant, thinking that he can do whatever he wants if he is the patriarch, and he takes the words of our elders as a deaf ear? He dares to publicly refute our resolution, and I think he, the patriarch, does not want to be either. Hairenjie snorted coldly.

"Third Elder, what do you think about this? Hai Xiongfeng, as the patriarch, is so selfish!" Hai Renjie looked at the other elder.

The third elder's name is Hai Renfeng, that is, Haiyun's father, when he heard Hai Renjie ask, he sneered: "No matter what, Hai Xiongfeng's approach is too selfish, I think, he can't be the patriarch, Hai Xin has been looking for a doctor for eight or nine days and hasn't come back, it must be Hai Xiongfeng who let her escape first, and now she wants Feng Zhuyun to leave with Hai Kuo, is he Hai Xiongfeng next?"

Hai Renjie and Hai Renfeng glanced at each other, and the two hit it off, they both had the same idea, that is, let Hai Xiongfeng give up the position of patriarch and let Haiyun take over. However, they didn't dare to say it too directly, because there were seven elders in total. Great Elder Hai Junting's words are the most weighty.

Over the years, Hai Junting has always stood on Hai Xiongfeng's side, he didn't speak, and a few people didn't dare to make too much of it.

After Hai Renjie finished speaking, he looked at Hai Junting and asked, "Great Elder, what do you think about this?"

Hai Junting frowned, just now Hai Xiongfeng refuted this practice of burning the people in the temporary hall, and publicly reprimanded a few elders, although he also agreed with Hai Xiongfeng's approach, but he also felt that burning the clansmen who had been infected with the epidemic was the best way for the future, otherwise the entire Yunhua Village would be ruined......

"Don't rush to conclusions, Xiongfeng is also for the sake of the clan, after all, those are dozens of fresh lives. Hai Junting sighed and said, "If there is no good way, just do what you say!"
