After walking for a while, the large army stopped.

Lord Zhai said to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao, this is the Taohua Village in Taohua County, which was the most severely affected by the flood, because of its proximity to the river and its low geographical location, the flood directly submerged Taohua Village, and other villages near Taohua Village were also invaded. ”

Xiao Hao looked in the direction that Lord Zhai pointed him out, and saw a large area of dilapidated houses, with water stains left on them, and a piece of young shoots in the fields that had fallen due to the flood, which looked barren.

Xiao Hao looked at the people who were cowering in the corner and didn't dare to move, covered in dirt and wearing wet clothes, he unconsciously frowned, and asked Zhai Governor in a deep voice: "Lord Zhai, what about the prefect in the jurisdiction of this Peach Blossom Village?" It must have been nearly ten days since the epidemic began, right? Why haven't the supplies in the original county been moved over? ”

Hearing Xiao Hao's question, Lord Zhai sighed slightly, and said respectfully to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao doesn't know, the county under the jurisdiction of this Peach Blossom Village is named Xue Wen, who came to take office two years ago, but during his tenure, he not only did not work diligently and love the people, but also expropriated and oppressed the people. ”

"Originally, the year Xue Wen took office, he should have strengthened the embankment, but instead of listening to our advice, he also took all the money to strengthen the embankment for himself, which is really hateful!"

"But helplessly, there are people above him, even if he has done so many hurtful things, he still has nothing to fear, and the boss seems to turn a blind eye as if he didn't see this situation."

"It wasn't until the outbreak of this flood disaster that the top didn't notice Xue Wen as a moth, so the day after the incident broke out, he was already pressed into prison, so the current Taohua County has no county at all."

"Even the transfer of materials was ordered by me, but it may be that Xue Wen spent extravagantly during his reign, and there were not many materials in the government at all, and all the materials were moved, which was only enough for all the victims to eat for two days. After that, they can only rely on my meager food every day, at least they have waited for you, Lord Xiao. ”

Xiao Hao didn't speak, looking at the eyes of these refugees full of distrust and fear, and the despair for the future that was deeply hidden in the depths of his eyes, Xiao Hao's heart was throbbing.

At this moment, Xiao Hao felt that his trouser leg was being pulled, Xiao Hao looked down, and saw a little boy dressed in tatters and with a gray face looking at him.

Xiao Hao's heart softened, squatted down so that the little boy could look at him, and then asked softly, "Little friend, what's wrong with you?" ”

I saw that the child's ignorant eyes were staring at Xiao Hao tightly: "Are you here to save our immortals?" ”

Listening to the little boy's disrespectful words, Zhai Zhifu subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Hao, only to see Xiao Hao look at the little boy with a pair of soft eyes: "I'm not a god, I'm an official of Dayong, I'm an official sent by His Majesty the Emperor for disaster relief, little friend, if you need help, you can find me!" ”

Xiao Hao didn't dislike the little boy who was covered in dirt at all, but touched his head affectionately.

When the little boy heard Xiao Hao's words, his eyes lit up, and he said to Xiao Hao: "Then can you help me save my mother?" My mother has been fainting for a long time, and she hasn't woken up, so I'm so worried. ”

As soon as the little boy's words fell, a sharp voice came into the ears of everyone present: "Little bolt, what are you doing?" Come back and don't bother the adults! ”

Then an old woman, dressed in tatters, came up and tried to take the little boy away.

The little boy heard her shout, his expression was a little lost and a little scared, and he subconsciously wanted to hide behind Xiao Hao's legs, seeing the little boy's frightened expression, Xiao Hao directly hugged the little boy, which made the old woman's hand who wanted to grab the little boy fall short.

The old woman looked at Xiao Hao's momentum, a little weak, and she began to stutter in an instant when she was full of energy just now: "Big, my lord? ”

Xiao Hao smiled politely at the old woman: "Old man, can I go and see the mother of the plug?" According to the plug, his mother hadn't woken up for a long time, so she wanted me to go and see it. ”

"This ......" The old woman hesitated a little, but looking at Xiao Hao's extremely firm and sincere eyes, the old woman gritted her teeth, "Okay, the old woman knows, come with me." ”

After that, he took the lead in walking forward, and before Xiao Hao left, Xiao Hao whispered something in his ear to Li Sinian on the side, but in the next second, Li Sinian disappeared in place.

Xiao Hao held the small bolt and led the group to follow the old woman to an old thatched house with several holes in the roof, as if because of the special location of the thatched house at that time, the flood did not wash away the thatched house, which also gave some victims a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

As soon as everyone approached the thatched house, they smelled an indescribable smell, as if it was rotten, and it seemed to be sour, it was always very complicated, Xiao Hao saw from the outside of the house that there were several people lying in the thatched house, only the slight curvature of the chest could prove to everyone that they were still alive.

For a while, Xiao Hao's eyes were very complicated and difficult to distinguish, and a terrible thought was formed in Xiao Hao's mind, could it be that this was ......

At this time, the old woman said, "Gentlemen, please come with me." ”

Everyone covered their noses with clothes or hands, but Xiao Hao took out the handkerchief in his arms that he had taken from Hang Yidong a long time ago, folded the handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, and only after telling Xiao Bolt that he was not allowed to enter the house, he followed into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that something was wrong, these unconscious refugees had very ruddy cheeks, and they didn't look like they had just experienced a flood, but they looked like they were doing well, and then, Xiao Hao touched the foreheads of these people with the back of his hand and found that their temperature was unusually high.

What made Xiao Hao even more shocked was that on the body of an uncle in the far corner, a yellow pustule actually appeared on his face, this! This is clearly the phenomenon of the epidemic!

Xiao Hao immediately kicked out the old woman and the other people in the house and told them not to enter the house again.

Everyone was puzzled, but they did not disobey Xiao Hao's order.

And Xiao Hao sat alone in the corner, unsettled, epidemic disease is often a high-risk phenomenon that is particularly prone to appear after floods, if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to bury countless people and things, after all, the infection rate of this infectious disease is still very high.

Xiao Hao gently twisted his fingers one by one, trying to suppress the uneasiness and irritability in his heart.

No matter what the current situation is, in short, let's wait for Li Sinian to find someone.

Thinking so, Li Sinian came back with an old man with a medicine box, and shouted at Xiao Hao: "My lord, I brought people back." ”

Xiao Hao immediately stood up and greeted him.

Because he was brought over by Li Sinian in a hurry, the old doctor's body couldn't bear it at all, and now he was panting heavily, and he saluted Xiao Hao with difficulty: "I've seen Lord Xiao." ”

Xiao Hao helped the person up and said to the old doctor: "Doctor, there are a few patients in this room, the official just went in to take a look, suspecting that this is likely to be an epidemic, I hope the doctor can help to see if it is or not, if it is not then fine, but if it is, then this is a very important thing for the officer, I hope the doctor can help me investigate." ”

When Xiao Hao said the word epidemic, not only the old doctor's eyes changed, but even the people guarding on the side also took a breath of cold air, especially Zhai Zhifu, this is the first time that such a serious thing could happen in his realm.

The old doctor felt the sincerity and relief in Xiao Hao's eyes, and the old doctor immediately felt the heavy responsibility on his body, so he said to Xiao Hao: "Yes, my lord, the villain must check it carefully." ”

After saying that, the old doctor put down the medicine box he was carrying and armed himself fully before entering the dilapidated thatched hut.

Just as the old doctor was conducting the diagnosis and treatment, Zhai Zhifu on the side took a few steps forward and asked softly, "Lord Xiao, is it really an epidemic?" ”

Xiao Hao's brows seemed to be tied in a dead knot, he looked at the panicked Governor Zhai, and said comfortingly: "Lord Zhai doesn't need to panic, there is no diagnosis yet, and it may be my misjudgment." If it's really a miscalculation, that's fine, I'm afraid that if he's not, then we'll have a tough battle to fight. As he spoke, Xiao Hao looked at the clear sky.

Listening to Xiao Hao's words, Lord Zhai's eyes also became firm from the initial uncertainty, yes, no matter what, he can't leave his people behind.

At this moment, the old doctor walked out of the dilapidated thatched hut with a serious expression on his face.

Xiao Hao looked at the old doctor with inquiring eyes, the old doctor sighed, and nodded slightly at Xiao Hao, although the amplitude was not large, but it still made Xiao Hao's heart sink uncontrollably.

Xiao Hao immediately settled down, not letting himself fall into a panic, he began to arrange tasks in an orderly manner: "Come on, stop this thatched hut and not allow anyone else to approach, second, to search everyone who has been in and out of this thatched hut during this time, and third, to gather the entire Taohua County to come to Taohua Village to study the treatment of this new epidemic." ”

Originally, there was still a little sloppy military spirit, but at this moment, under Xiao Hao's decisive decision, he immediately recovered his spirit.
