Chapter 185: Natural Disaster (2) 4K
After many days of heavy rain, Cen Erye also learned to cook. Although his craftsmanship is not as good as Lin's, the food he makes has gone from being difficult to swallow at the beginning to barely being able to eat.
That's a huge step forward!
Second Master Cen, who thinks he is omnipotent, is angry about his lack of cooking skills, and feels that this is a big failure in his life.
Although Second Master Cen is a senior scholar, he does not have the slightest idea of a gentleman cooking. Especially now the task of preparing food for a large family has fallen on him and his beloved wife Lin. Because he is not good at cooking, his wife is very burdened.
This made Second Master Cen, who focused on spoiling his wife all his life, very distressed and blamed himself. In order to lighten the burden on his wife and prove that he is not a cooking idiot. Second Master Cen worked hard and faced the kitchen. There is a posture that if you can't make delicious food, you can't leave the kitchen.
After Qingming, it was Gu Yu.
This year's valley rain has been particularly heavy. The water in the Tianhe River seems to have made an appointment on this day, poured into the world, and fell into this small world near Anping Town.
The military camp in the east of the town was destroyed by the torrent, and more than 500 of the 8,000 elite soldiers trained by the Feng family for the six princes died in the flood because they did not evacuate in time.
There were also more than a thousand soldiers, with injuries ranging from severity to severity. Some of them were wounded by the flowstones that were caught in the flood; Some of them could not swim and drowned in the flood, but although they were later rescued, they were inevitably injured due to too much water ingress in their chest and abdomen.
If it weren't for Mr. Jingling's quick decision, the base camp of She'anping Town would command the army to evacuate dangerously. These 8,000 elite soldiers, including Mr. Jingling, Feng Qi and other strategists and generals, will all be buried in the flood.
In the face of ruthless and powerful natural disasters, manpower is negligible.
The west of the town is because of the high wall that separates the east and west of the town. The flood was isolated in the east of the town, but it was not much affected by the flood.
It's just that most of the streets west of the town are covered with water that reaches the knees of adults. Because of the withdrawal of the army, those foreign merchants and travelers in the west of the town, as well as some wealthy local families, all dragged their families with their families in panic and fled away from the west of the town.
At this time. All shops in town are closedreads();.
Some local civilians in Anping town. They all moved en masse to their relatives' homes outside to escape the deepening floods.
But in just seven or eight days, the people in the entire Anping Town. Almost all of them moved away.
The flash flood that swept the east of the town continued to flood, and finally broke through the high wall and engulfed the entire town of Anping. Sixty percent of all the houses in the town were completely flooded. Thirty percent were half flooded, and only one percent was left on higher ground. It has not been damaged by floods.
It should be spring and sunny, and the grass and warblers are flying vigorously in March and April, but Anping Town and several villages around it are soaked in muddy and yellow floods, shrouded in the shadow of death.
Many families were torn apart in the floods. Countless villagers died in the floods.
Even Jintian Village, a small village with only about 100 families located in the middle of the mountain, has more than a dozen families who are unlucky. In his sleep, he was swept away by a mudslide pouring down from the mountain, and his house was flooded. All to the West.
Seven or eight other families on low ground near the foot of the mountain were swallowed up by the floods, but all of them fled to the mountain in time, with no casualties, only the loss of wealth and food.
Because of the landslide, the mountain peak collapsed, blocking the road from the foot of Jintian Village to Anping Town, so that the more than 300 people who survived Jintian Village and Taolin Village at the bottom of it wanted to escape from the clutches of the flood, and there was no way or opportunity, so they had to stay in the middle of the mountainside.
Fortunately, most of the houses in Jintian Village were originally built in the middle of the mountain, and they were basically preserved intact, and the seven or eight villagers who had lost their houses in the nearby Taolin Village at the foot of the mountain all lived in the homes of other villagers on the mountain.
And almost all the people in Taolin Village, which is on a plain at the foot of the mountain, are all tragic. Not to mention that all the houses were flooded, and many villagers lost their lives. The nearly 100 villagers who were lucky enough to escape the flood not only lost their homes, but almost all of their loved ones died in the flood. Even themselves, four or five out of ten, were infected with the typhoid epidemic.
Because the epidemic is so scary, every time it appears, countless people will die. There are several people in the history books who suffered from the epidemic in a previous village, and because they were not dealt with in time, the epidemic spread to the whole village, and soon the whole village was killed!
Therefore, although about half of the nearly 100 people in Taolin Village are only the initial symptoms of the epidemic, as long as they are treated in time, they will not be contagious and will not be fatal. But ordinary villagers didn't know this, they were afraid of being infected and losing their lives, so the village chief dispatched everyone in the village to drive those people in Taolin Village far away to the back mountain of Jintian Village, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The village chief and the respected clan elders in the village also arranged a patrol team organized by the villagers to patrol the vicinity of Jintian Village day and night.
Once it is found that the villagers with peach forests do not give up and want to steal into Jintian Village, they will be killed directly without asking the reason, or they will be tied up and thrown into the back mountain.
At first, there were more than a dozen sturdy young adults in Taolin Village who were not infected and were more afraid of death, and they didn't want to be trapped in the back mountain with others and wait for death.
After this killing of chickens and monkeys, the villagers of Taolin Village did not dare to come to Jintian Village again, and with the help of the Cen family, they slowly settled down in the back mountain.
They divided into two groups, the one that was not sick, and with axes, sickles, hoes, etc., which they had brought out of their homes when they had fled for their lives, they cut down some branches and built wooden huts along the leafy trees. And when the rain was light in the middle of the day, he went out to hunt, dig wild vegetables, look for wild fruits, and net fish to fill their stomachs. The other group, who had contracted the disease, spontaneously lived in a large empty cave in the back mountain that was used by the villagers of Jintian Village for sacrifice, avoiding their relatives and lying down to die.
In fact, Taolin Village was the first to be flooded, and nearly a hundred people escaped, begging the villagers of Jintian Village to take them in.
Those people said that if the Cen family wanted to take in the villagers of Taolin Village who were suffering from the epidemic, they would drive the Cen family out. There are only ten people in the Cen family, how can they confront the villagers of a village?
Although Cen Erye and others sympathized with the plight of those villagers in Taolin Village. I also want to help them as much as I can. But after all, they didn't have the courage to sacrifice themselves, and they didn't dare to risk being driven away by the entire Jintian Village villagers and leave those people behind.
The weather is harsh, and if you are driven out of the village, you will not have shelter from the wind and rain, and there will be enough food. The family was not starved to death soon. and they will all suffer from the wind and cold and die of disease. Moreover, the local food and medicinal materials of the Cen family are already limited, and they can't save so many people.
Ultimately. Cen Erniang and the others had to watch the villagers of Taolin Village, who were expelled to the back mountain by the villagers of Jintian Village.
It's just that Cen Erniang's family still has a conscience after all, and they can't watch a group of poor and innocent villagers die in front of them. Cen Dalang, Yu Mo Ning, Lao Qi and Cen Erniang, who know some martial arts, will sneak out of Jintian Village every day. Villagers who avoided the patrol went to the back mountain with food, clothing, and medicinal materials. Feeding and seeing a doctor for the villagers of Taolin Village.
Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang thought that the Cen family's food and medicinal materials were limited after all, and it was impossible to supply these villagers who had nothing for a long time.
They encouraged the villagers who were in distress but did not get sick to regain their confidence and courage in life with their own hands. Build shelter for yourself, find food for yourself, and go to the mountains to find healing herbs and food for your sick loved ones.
As for those who are sick. The condition was not very serious, and Cen Erniang told them over and over again. As long as they are treated in time, they can recover.
But those people knew that they were suffering from the epidemic, and when they saw their homes destroyed and their loved ones die tragically, their hearts were gloomy and desperate, and they couldn't listen to Cen Erniang's words at all.
In order to prove to them that her words were correct and restore their hope, Cen Erniang spent five days curing a young man in his twenties, and used a living example to prove to those epidemic patients who are waiting for death that she is right! They can be cured!
At the same time, she also mobilized the relatives of those who were sick, enlightened and comforted them every day, and finally touched all the patients, so that they could rekindle their courage and hope to live, and actively survive. If they live, who wants to die?
Time passed in a hurry, and it had been half a month since the villagers of Taolin Village were driven to the back mountain and settled.
In the past half a month, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is the Cen Erniang family who secretly does good deeds that has brought about this change.
At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and a light rain fluttered in the air. Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang Yumo carried four large boxes of steamed buns and wild vegetables, carried two large baskets of herb bags, and carried a large basket of cotton cloth, needlework, cotton salt, etc., avoiding the patrolling villagers, and quickly disappeared on the mountain path, walking quickly and steadily towards the back mountain.
Today, they took these supplies and made a special trip to Houshan to celebrate with the villagers of Taolin Village.
Cen Erniang had the least strength, and Cen Dalang only let her carry two food boxes and walk in the front. He carried two food boxes in one hand and two baskets of herbs in the other, and followed behind Cen Erniang. Yumo carried a big basket by himself, and walked at the end.
Because the mountain road was slippery, and he was carrying fabrics, cotton, salt, and other things that could not be wet, so he walked very carefully.
Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang also slowed down after avoiding the patrol, and they will read s();.
Because the rain was light, they didn't have umbrellas.
As she walked, Cen Erniang blinked the droplets of water that fell from the tree onto her thick and slender eyelashes, and her voice was hoarse and laughing: "The rain became smaller last night, and this time it is even thinner." It seems that the heavy rain will stop soon. That's nice! ”
"yes." Cen Dalang looked up through the sparse branches and leaves, saw a less gray sky, smiled, and looked down carefully to avoid falling. It doesn't matter if they fall down themselves, it's just that the hot food brought to the villagers of Taolin Village in the food box can't fall to the ground and get dirty.
"I see that the sky is brighter than the previous days, maybe in the next few days, the rain will stop and the sun will come out." Cen Dalang leaned over, stepping on the stone steps and moving slowly, they just crossed a hill, there was moss on the stone steps, he walked very slowly, "Erlang, yesterday you said that three more epidemic patients were cured, but is it true?" ”
"Of course!" Cen Erniang stopped, looked back and raised her neck proudly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride and joy, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars shone brightly: "I am a personal disciple of the divine doctor!" Why are those little epidemics so difficult to stop me? I said I would cure them all! ”
"Now eight villagers have been cured, and the remaining 30 or so patients are itching, not to mention cooperating with me! They wish they could heal themselves right away so that they can go out and help other villagers hunt and build houses and live a good life! ”
"Not really!" Yumo touched the hot sweat on his forehead and neck, lifted the strap on his shoulder, and said, "Now those people can regard our second young man as an immortal who saves the suffering!" Da Shao, you weren't here yesterday, I don't know how those villagers cried and knelt in front of Er Shao to thank her! ”
The middle-aged daughter-in-law who was rescued by Er Shao rescued her husband and only son knelt on the ground, hugged Er Shao's legs, and cried and thanked her for a whole hour! She also set up an immortal tablet for the second young man, and every day she would break a few small branches and burn the incense candles to pray for the second young man. Other villagers also learned from her, and now they are vying for the tablet of immortality for our second young man! ”
"Really? Why didn't I hear from you yesterday? Cen Dalang stood up with great interest, he looked back and saw that Yumo was panting tiredly, glanced around, found a slightly smooth and clean place, put the food box and bamboo basket, and let Yumo turn around, and put the back basket on the ground for him, so that Yumo could rest.
Cen Erniang's hands were also sore and tight, she didn't wait for Cen Dalang to remind her, so she put the two big food boxes in her hands, leaned her back against a big rock, and turned and rubbed her palms and wrists.
"Yumo, tell me in detail, what happened yesterday?" Cen Dalang showed a mouthful of big white teeth and stared at Yumo intently.
Yumo talked about his sexuality, opened his mouth and said: "It's those people who were frightened by Er Shao before, but they cheered up again and cooperated with the treatment. But none of them were particularly active, especially the dozen or so uncles in their early forties, who were only willing to take medicine in order to make their relatives feel better and less nagging in their ears. ”
"Although there were patients who were cured, they all felt that it was because the young man was strong and less sick than them. It is believed that they are all old, and when they escaped, they fell and suffered internal and external injuries, and their physical condition cannot be compared with that of young people, and unfortunately they contracted the epidemic, and they will definitely die in the end. ”
"Those uncles secretly told me that they wanted to die quietly, and they didn't want to be talked about to death, so they cooperated with Ershao's treatment. But what about yesterday! There is an uncle in his forties who thought he was going to die! Those uncles almost died of surprise! They shouted, 'It turns out that Doctor Cen can really cure us,' and they all cried, laughed, screamed and yelled, and they were simply crazy with joy. (To be continued.) )
