Chapter 248: The Plague
Ping'an was invited to the village chief's house by a group of villagers at the entrance of the village, and the villagers who rushed to report the news told the village chief what had just happened in advance, so when Ping'an came to the village chief's house, the weather-beaten old village chief was already waiting at the door and warmly welcomed Ping'an in.
Ping'an traveled all the way, and found that Fenghan Village was not ordinary poor, the vast majority of the villagers lived in thatched huts, only the village chief's residence was a mud house mixed with mud and thatch, and there were no decent decorations in the room.
However, for Ping An, it is a good start, as soon as he arrived in the village, he successfully blended in, and was also received by the village chief, which is conducive to the implementation of his next plan.
Through chatting with the village chief, Ping An learned that Fenghan Village is not big, the population of the entire village is about 100 people, and it was also prosperous here for a while, it was a transit station for collecting natural stones, since the natural stones were mined, most of the people here have moved elsewhere, leaving only some old and weak women and children and young adults who do not want to go, and gradually evolved into the current Fenghan Village.
Fenghan Village is located in a remote area, the population is not large, there is only one barefoot doctor in the village, and the medical skills are not high, resulting in the villagers who are sick can not get good medical treatment, delay the treatment time, and many people die.
At the behest of the village chief, Ping'an reluctantly stayed behind and promised to help heal the sick villagers, and as for the reward, the villagers unanimously agreed to pay Ping'an one-tenth of the money from the sale of grain after the autumn harvest.
In order to thank Ping An for helping Ping An spontaneously build an earthen house larger than the village chief's house, which is convenient for Ping An to live in and treat the villagers. At this point, Fenghan Village has an additional foreign miracle doctor.
Half a month later, Ping An sat on the rattan chair sent by Li Er and pondered, during this half a month, he helped many villagers to treat diseases, and the people who were cured by him sent him a lot of things in order to thank him, and also told him some secrets in the village, for example, Wang Laoshi in the east of the village is not from this village, he settled here ten years ago, and he lived here for ten years, he didn't talk to the people in the village and had no children, and what he did every day was to go to the iceberg outside the village and not know what to find.
There is also the real person in charge of the village, not the old village chief, but the militia captain Ge San, Ge San and the militia under him.
There is also a preacher in the village, who takes some written things every day and distributes them to every household, which is about how the royal family of Hengyuan Kingdom is corrupt and chaotic, and calls on everyone to join the Holy Religion and save the country together.
But for the villagers, saving the country is too far away, and their first consideration is how to live a good life, and as for who will run the country, it has little to do with them.
Ping An knew in his heart that this so-called holy religion should be the Holy War Alliance, and it should be a subordinate organization belonging to the Holy War Alliance.
Although the teachings preached in it are not attractive to the elderly, weak women and children, they are still very attractive to young people with enthusiasm.
Because people of this age have the dream of making meritorious contributions and defending the country. Therefore, there should be many people in the village who believe in the holy religion.
One of the purposes of Ping'an's coming here is to clear the Jihadist Alliance, and now he has some clues, but the specific implementation plan needs to be carefully considered, not only to clean up the people of the Jihadist Alliance, but also not to make other villagers suspicious.
There is also the person named Wang Laoshi, who is very suspicious, and it is not appropriate for him to make a move before he finds out the identity of this person.
Ping An thought very well, but reality slapped him in the face again, and because of his brilliant medical skills, his fame spread more and more.
People from several nearby villages also sent patients here, and the workload of making peace increased instantly, and there was no chance to trouble the people in the Holy Sect at all.
The Poison Saint Secret Book is indeed magical, not only can it be poisoned, but it is also very powerful for curing diseases, especially incurable diseases, which can be cured with two medicines.
After another half a month, Ping An finally found an opportunity, that is, not far from Fenghan Village, Qili Village, on this day, brought two villagers with high fever and ulcerated bodies.
The big man who was in charge of carrying people didn't wait for the door of Ping'an's house, so he shouted anxiously.
When they came to the door, Ping An was startled when he saw the patient lying there for the first time, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and cursed in a low voice: "What hurtful thing have they committed to get this disease?"
"Doctor Yang helps? I don't know what they did, they were fine yesterday, and today it's like this. ”
Ping'an looked at the man with a slightly embarrassed face, snorted coldly, turned around and took a layer of thick gauze to cover his mouth and nose, looked at the few big men who were about to carry the patient in, and scolded: "Did I let you into the house? Go out, if you don't explain the cause clearly, I won't cure it." ”
"This ........." The few big men who accompanied him didn't expect that the amiable divine doctor would react so much this time, and they didn't know whether to tell the truth or not for a while.
Seeing this, Ping An reminded: "I only give you half a pillar of incense, if you don't say it, quickly take someone out of Fenghan Village, and you can go back and wait for death." ”
Everyone present was frightened by this sentence, and Erlong, the captain of the militia of Qili Village, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Divine doctor, I won't tell you, two days ago, I found a big hole outside the village, and there was a tomb in the hole. ”
After hearing this, Ping An nodded and whispered to himself: "This makes sense, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a rare hysteria." ”
After Ping'an finished speaking, he came to the wooden shelf with a copper bell hanging in the courtyard, and shook the copper bell vigorously, and for a time the sound of the copper bell spread throughout the village.
Not long after, the militia captain Ge San hurried over with more than 20 villagers, and Ping'an hurried to let them stay away.
Ge San and the others looked at Ping An in puzzlement, and Ping An took out a bunch of plants that looked like hay from the courtyard and threw them to Ge San.
"Take someone to light these herbs and smoke them around the village, quickly. ”
"Divine Doctor, what's going on?" Ge San said, turning his head to look at Erlong.
Erlong and the others looked unnatural, Ping An did not hide it, and said bluntly: "The two patients they brought have the epidemic, I am afraid that they will bring the virus to the village, you quickly take someone to smoke the village first." ”
After Ge San and the others heard this, they were frightened and retreated, and even Erlong and the others were so frightened that they put down their companions and wanted to escape, so Ping An hurriedly stopped them and told them not to move.
Ge San and the others came back to their senses, glanced at Erlong and the others coldly, snorted coldly and hurriedly led people to smoke the house while conveying the matter to the villagers.
Diseases such as hysteria are the most feared by the villagers, with a high mortality rate and strong contagion, and if not well controlled, the whole village is prone to death.
Ping'an looked at Erlong and the others with pale faces, beckoned them in, and then took out two pills from his arms and handed them to Erlong, asking them to feed the patient.
Erlong held the pill in his hand and handed it to his companion, the companion retreated one after another, not daring to take on this arduous task, there was no way, Erlong gritted his teeth, squatted down tremblingly, stretched out his arm, and it took a long time to put the two pills into the patient's mouth.
Then he took a wooden stick and gently knocked it on their throats, grunting, and the pill in their mouths went smoothly into their stomachs.
After a while, the patient lying on the ground, the pain on his face was relieved, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Erlong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they were really worried that Yang Shen would not be cured, if he could not be cured, it would be useless for them to take people to a third-class city for medical treatment.
But they didn't have long to be happy, and a word of peace pulled them back to reality.
"I gave them temporary relief from the pain, and if they wanted to be cured, they had to go to that tomb again, because the healing herbs were in the tomb. ”
"Divine doctor, is there any other way for you to go, I really don't dare to go to that place. Erlong looked at the pale faces of his companions and looked at Ping An in embarrassment.
"No, if the herbs are not found, not only will they die, but those of you who have come into contact with them may also die. Yang hopes that you can show the courage to take a certain family to that cave, and let a certain family go down to pick out the herbs to save the villagers from fire and water. ”
