Although there are only a few personnel, plus Liu Xian and Zheng Bo, there are only ten people in total, but the fewer people, the more formal and solemn Liu Xian will be, and if anything, let them feel that their self-defense forces are regular troops, not self-defense forces in the general sense.

Several villagers were really a little excited, their faces turned red, and their chests stood tall, even Liang Ji, who was also a little moved.

"It's a matter of urgency, and now there's no way to hold an army sacrifice ceremony, and we'll talk about this later." Liu Xian said, didn't let them shout slogans or anything, and his eyes fell on the village chief Liang Ji.

"Liang Ji, the situation in our Liulin Village is critical now, and it doesn't mean a threat from the Yellow Turban bandits or officers and soldiers. Instead, from time to time, villagers have been infected and died of incurable diseases. Therefore, this epidemic and death disease is our biggest threat. ”

"At the moment, how to prevent our villagers in Liulin Village from continuing to be infected with the epidemic is the most important thing. Now, I order you to notify all the villagers in Liulin Village overnight, and immediately isolate the sick or suspected patients. All the sick people were sent to a house in the south of the village to wait for treatment. And the villagers who are still in the south of the village, the healthy villagers who are not sick, immediately let them vacate their houses for those who are sick. Then, you can tell them that they can come to Liufu in the north of my village first, and Liufu will arrange their temporary accommodation, and there will be porridge and food alms. This, Liang Si and Liang Wu will follow the village chief, and you can also temporarily gather some villagers to help send those patients to the south of the village. This is a very important matter, and it cannot be delayed, because every time it is slow, there is a danger that the villagers will be infected with each other. ”

Liu Xian's first task to Liang Ji was the task of isolating the sick villagers of Liulin Village, the epidemic must be stopped in time, and this kind of death disease must not be allowed to spread in the village, otherwise, it will not be long before the entire Liulin Village will die.

"Command! Subordinates will deal with it now! Liang 4, Liang 5, let's go! Liang Ji did not hesitate and immediately obeyed the order.

"Wait, there are also Chen Gen and Chen Shi, you also follow, but your task is to deal with the corpses of those dead villagers." When Liu Xian said this, he frowned and said, "Remember, this is not to ask you to bury them, but to move those corpses to the outside of the village in the south of the village, put them together, and cremate them together after dawn." Yes, the body of a dead person must be cremated. That includes my mother, too. ”

"Huh? Cremate...... Yes, the subordinates are ordered! Chen Gen was startled at first, and had some questions, but when he saw that Liang Ji was also staring at the side, he hurriedly took the order immediately.

In this era, people die most of the time, and they pay attention to burial, except for a few places where people will be cremated, but basically they are all burials. So it's not strange to have doubts, it's just that Liu Xian doesn't want to explain too much for the time being, and just wants to see if they can faithfully carry out the orders of their lord.

"That'...... My lord, let's go now? Liang Ji didn't ask any questions at this time.

"Well, go ahead, work hard for you, get things done as soon as possible and rest, no need to come back to me, everything will meet after dawn tomorrow."

"Okay, lord, my subordinates take their leave!"

Liang Ji bowed down and left Liu's Mansion with the four of them.

Naturally, Liang Ji actually had a lot of questions in his heart, not only about cremation, but also about isolating those sick villagers, and he actually didn't know what the purpose of doing this was. But he took the lead in worshiping Liu Xian as the lord, the main thing is that he actually wants to help Liu Xian and help this nephew establish prestige among the villagers, so now Liu Xian's order, he must take the lead in listening, even if he has doubts, he will not raise it on the spot.

"Yu Jin, Liu Fu, Liang Hui, which of the three of you runs faster?" Liu Xian looked at the remaining three villagers and asked.

"Liang Hui, he's the fastest among us." Liu Fu preemptively replied flatteringly.

"Okay, then Liang Hui." Liu Xian looked at Liang Hui and said: "Our Liulin Village is located in the north of Julu County, whether it is a Yellow Turban thief or an officer or soldier, if you want to come to our Liulin Village, they will only come from the south, you immediately run to the dense forest a few miles south of the village and hide it." The main thing is to keep an eye on the direction of the southern plain, and once there are thieves or officers and soldiers, they must rush back to report the news as soon as possible. ”

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! ”

"Uncle Zheng, prepare a weapon for him to defend himself, in addition, give him a thicker cotton coat, and let him bring a pot of wine and some dry food. It will be very cold in the wild at night, so you can drink to keep you awake, and you can eat some dry food to maintain your strength when you are hungry. If it's okay, someone won't be there until noon tomorrow to replace you, and you won't be allowed to come back without permission. Do you understand? Liu Xian confessed to Uncle Zheng, and then told him.

"Understood!"

"Very good, then Uncle Zheng, you can take him to prepare."

Liu Xian nodded with satisfaction and asked Uncle Zheng to take him to fetch weapons and clothes.

Liulin Village is more than 100 miles away from Julu and Guangzong, and there is a big river in the north of the village, which is called Qingshui River or Hail River and Waterfall River by the locals. Crossing the river to the north is not far from Ningjin County, which is very close.

There are some villages to the west and east of Liulin Village, and if there are thieves and officers and soldiers coming, those villages will definitely suffer first, and Liulin Village will soon know.

The only thing to worry about is the south of the village, which is a plain area, but there is no other village, only a few miles away there is a plain windbreak forest. If the thieves or officers and soldiers came from that direction, as soon as they passed through the plain windbreak forest, they would immediately reach Liulin Village.

Liu Xian sent Liang Hui to keep an eye on it, just worried about this.

If you find a situation and you know it for the first time, you still have a little time to arrange. Whether to stay or flee.

After Liang Hui said goodbye and left with a torch, Liu Xian asked Yu Jin, Liu Fu, and Zheng Bo to help and began to decorate the mourning hall and pretend to be his mother. Even if you want to be cremated, you have to have a coffin.

As for Xiaojing, Liu Xian asked her to boil porridge and prepare to help those villagers who came to Liu's mansion overnight.

The Liulin Village, which would have been completely quiet after nightfall, suddenly became a little lively, and torches were lit everywhere, and the firelight made the originally lifeless Liulin Village seem to be a little more lively.

Liu Xian's body was actually a little unsupportable, and he was too weak after a serious illness. But Liu Xian gritted his teeth and persevered, receiving the villagers in the south of the village who had given up their houses. It seems that Liang Ji's prestige in Liulin Village is very high, and if it were ordinary people, these villagers might not easily give up their houses.

In fact, the average sick villager, or even their family members, would not accept this kind of quarantine. But Liang Ji came forward, and the villagers obeyed.

There are as many as 40 or 50 of these villagers, and they are basically old and weak women and children, and even if there are a few adult men between the ages of 20 and 30, they are all weak and weak. That's all hungry.

Liu Xian personally inquired about their situation and confirmed that they were not infected with the epidemic, at least on the surface.

Then Liu Xian picked out a few village women who looked pretty good, and asked them to help move Xiaojing's boiled porridge out of the front yard and distribute them one by one, so that they could fill their stomachs.

They were naturally grateful to Liu Xian, and those who ate porridge and had some strength took the initiative to ask for help to do something.

With more people joining, Liu Xian also made better arrangements, let them help sort out the houses that are no longer inhabited in the north of the village, and arrange for those old and young generals to live first.

In addition, the mother has also been decorated, and the mourning hall has also been arranged.

My mother was very popular in Liulin Village before her death, and these villagers had more or less received the favor of their mother, so after the mourning hall was arranged, they all spontaneously offered incense and kowtowed to Liu Xian's mother.

After Liu Xian also kowtowed, he really couldn't hold on, and seeing that there should be nothing to do for the time being, he explained that Uncle Zheng also sent weapons to Yu Jin and Liu Fu, so that they were optimistic about Liu's mansion, so they went to sleep first.
