Chapter 375: The Mayor's Choice
Xiao Qi slowly stretched out his finger and pointed it at Qin Xiusheng, telling the townspeople that he could eradicate the plague from their bodies.
Hearing Xiao Qi's words, a hint of hesitation flashed on the mayor's face. He frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Xiusheng deeply, and then spoke, "My lord, with all due respect, how do you know that he can eradicate the plague in our body?"
Xiao Qi didn't hesitate at all, her eyes looked at Qin Xiusheng, and then she said seriously, "Because he said that he would definitely be able to, so I believe him." ”
Xiao Qi's words made the townspeople hesitate again. Although Xiao Qi has always been on Qin Xiusheng's side, deep in the hearts of the townspeople, they are still hostile to Qin Xiusheng, worried that he will do something that harms the town.
"My lord, you believe him based on this alone?" the mayor frowned deeply and questioned Xiao Qi, "He is an outsider after all, and you believe his words so easily." Do you want me to leave the fate of all the townspeople in his hands?"
Hearing the mayor's question, Xiao Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Of course." However, if anyone does not want to, I will not force you. ”
The townsfolk were silent again, not knowing for a moment what to choose. After all, their choices now depend on their future fate. If you make the wrong choice, you are likely to step into a point where you will never recover.
Before the townsfolk could answer, Xiao Qi spoke again, "I hope you can think it through." From today onwards, I will not provide you with any more herbs in the future. ”
Hearing Xiao Qi's words, the mayor's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is this for?
Shaking his head gently, from the beginning, Xiao Qi's gaze has been falling on Qin Xiusheng. In her eyes, it seemed that in this world, there was nothing else except Qin Xiusheng.
"I certainly don't want to see any townspeople die. However, I have already made a decision that I will leave here after the seminarians have been treated. Xiao Qi's voice was very calm, as if he was telling a normal thing.
Xiao Qi's words caused a burst of exclamations from the townspeople. For them, Xiaoqi has always been like a god who has sheltered the entire town. Although Xiao Qi has already told the truth of the matter, in the hearts of the townspeople, they still don't want Xiao Qi to leave. Only if she stays in the town can everyone feel at ease.
"My lord, why did you leave?" Hearing the news of Xiao Qi's departure, the mayor's face changed completely. As the mayor of the town, he has always regarded Xiaoqi as the savior of the town, and he has always felt that she is not afraid of her no matter what happens.
"I'm going to go with the seminarians and see how wonderful the outside world is. Xiao Qi raised his head slightly and looked at the sky outside the window, "Although everyone in the town has always taken good care of me, I don't want to be tied up here all the time." I also wanted to go outside and see what was going on there. ”
The townspeople lamented, and many people spoke out to save Xiaoqi. They expressed their willingness to listen to Xiaoqi's words and hoped that she would not leave.
Just when everyone was in a mess, the mayor clapped his hands vigorously to silence the noisy people.
"Whatever the truth of the matter, it is a fact that the adults have been protecting the whole town. The mayor glanced at Xiao Qi, his eyes were full of complexity, "Since the adults want to go to the outside world to see, we shouldn't stop it, but we should fully support it." ”
The mayor's words silenced the townspeople. Although they very much hope that Xiaoqi can stay in the town, such a request is too selfish. Xiaoqi's age is still young, and he shouldn't be tied up in this small town. It's a good thing for her to go out into the wonderful world.
"Thank you, Mayor, for understanding me. Xiao Qi glanced at the mayor gratefully, bowed to him slightly, and said, "As long as the seminarians help everyone eradicate the plague in their bodies, our town will be able to regain its vitality." When the time comes, the town will definitely be the same as it used to be. Shops that have been abandoned for a long time can be reopened, and the young people of the town can leave here and go where they want to go. ”
Xiao Qi's words made everyone fall into reverie. In the years since the plague epidemic, although they are still alive, they have been living like walking dead. In order to control the plague, Xiaoqi forbade all the townspeople to leave the town for a single step. Also, the shops in the town should not be opened, so try not to attract outsiders here.
Many of the young people in the town have long wanted to leave the town and go out into the wonderful world. But because of the rules of the town, I couldn't leave a step. Now that they have the opportunity to realize their dreams, their eyes are full of yearning.
Seeing that Xiao Qi had almost convinced the townspeople, Qin Xiusheng took the opportunity to speak, "Please rest assured, I have found a way to eradicate the plague. I promise you that the plague will be completely driven out of this town and that everyone will be able to return to their old lives. ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, the mayor of the town took a deep look at him. In the eyes of the mayor, mixed emotions are written. They had done a lot of excessive things to Qin Xiusheng before, but Qin Xiusheng was willing to help them, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Why?" the mayor thought for a long time before he slowly asked, "We have always regarded you as an enemy, don't you hold a grudge against us, and are you willing to help us?"
"I'm not a saint and I have grudges. Qin Xiusheng glanced at the mayor of the town and said seriously, "Hate is hate, but I am a doctor after all, and it is my duty to treat diseases and save people." Moreover, this is also what I promised Xiaoqi, and I will naturally fulfill my promise. ”
The mayor hesitated, nodded and said, "The kindness of the adults to our town cannot be repaid in our lives. Since adults believe in you and let you treat us, we will not refuse. ”
Hearing the mayor's words, Qin Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that the mayor would be stubborn, but fortunately, Xiaoqi had enough influence in the town to convince the mayor to treat the townspeople.
"We believe in adults, not in you. The mayor glanced at Qin Xiusheng with complicated eyes, although he still had a grudge against Qin Xiusheng in his heart, but Xiao Qi had already spoken, and he had no choice.
The corners of Qin Xiusheng's mouth rose slightly, and he nodded vigorously, "I promise you, you will definitely not regret your choice today. ”
