Chapter 248: Boil medicine to heal the villagers
Zeng Ershui carried two bamboo baskets full of bowls and hurried over.
"Wait, don't go forward", Meng Qiang saw Zeng Ershui come over with a burden.
"I have something important to say to Brother Kong", Zeng Ershui gasped.
"What's the situation? Say it quickly. Kong Yiji walked over and asked
"There were seventeen women in our village, and all the men were sick and dying, and the women were dying," Zeng Ershui said
"What the hell, men are sick and dying? This disease still chooses people," Xing Rui said
"Your sister, I'm not in the mood to talk to you about this, what I said is true," Zeng Ershui said
"Xing Rui, Meng Qiang set up all our medicine jars, boil water, and I will dispense the medicine," Kong Yiji said
"Zeng Ershui, do you have a cauldron in your village?" Kong Yiji asked
"Yes, there must be a cauldron, we kill pigs and sheep every year, but now it's useless, people are dead," Zeng Ershui said
"You find a few cauldrons to carry over, boil water, scald off your clothes, and take a bath with boiling water yourself, you basically have nothing to do", Kong Yiji said without raising his head
"That's no problem, I'll do it", Zeng Ershui said, I heard the elders say that boiling water can drive away evil spirits.
Zeng Ershui, put down the flat burden, ran back to the village, and went door to door to find the big iron pot, and it took a lot of effort to collect these pots together.
Looking at these pots, Zeng Ershui felt a little difficult in his heart, it was useless to make difficulties At this time, no one would definitely come to help.
Regardless of it, Zeng Ershui picked up the pot and walked outside the village. Bring a large iron pot to Lao Kong.
Xing Rui and Meng Qiang had already dug a big pit, and the stove of the pot had been built, waiting for Zeng Ershui's pot.
"You're still quite fast," Zeng Ershui said with a smile
"Nonsense, you think we are you, don't fix it now, boil the water first, and then go back when you're done", Xing Rui finished speaking, hugged a bundle of firewood, and walked over with a torch.
In fact, Zeng Ershui's smallpox has already healed, and the weather is so dry today that his body is no longer contagious.
But for the sake of safety, it's better to take precautions, Xing Rui came over. Zeng Ershui consciously walked to his thorny nest, deliberately avoiding Xing Rui and keeping a safe distance.
Xing Rui's hands were wrapped in a thick white cloth, and the cauldron was set up, and Meng Qiang held the jar and began to add water to the pot. Xing Rui squatted on the ground to light the fire, and after lighting the fire, Xing Rui walked to the bamboo basket that Zeng Ershui picked up, put all the bowls in the pot, and began to cook the dishes with hot water, so as to drive away evil spirits.
"You are still exquisite," Zeng Ershui said while squatting beside his old nest
"Nonsense, this is called preventing the spread of smallpox, and then affecting the three of us," Meng Qiang said
"Everything you say is right, anyway, you have cured my disease, you have a point", Zeng Ershui said, he really can't argue with them, it turns out that they can cure smallpox.
Meng Qiang and Xing Rui boiled the water, scalded and scalded the bowl, and after making sure it was clean, they fished it out again, and placed it neatly in the bamboo basket, where Kong Yiji's medicine had also been boiled, and the two walked to Kong Yiji's side and began to pour the boiled medicine into the bowl that had just been cooked.
Xing Rui picked up a roast chicken and threw it to Zeng Ershui, and he still relied on this goods to do physical work, so he had to fill people's stomachs.
"If you're still good to me, I know you won't look at me hungry," Zeng Ershui said gratefully
"You're less stinky and beautiful, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to bear the bamboo basket steadily, and then knock over the medicine that the eldest brother has worked so hard to make", Xing Rui said angrily
"Hey, how can it be that with my body, this little thing can't catch me," Zeng Ershui said
"It's so little, anyway, I see you alive, I'm happy for you, live well," Xing Rui said
"Speak politely, don't be so unlikable, be very handsome, don't have so many thorns on your body," Meng Qiang said
"I'm also in a bad mood, people are dying, how can I still have the heart to laugh at life," Zeng Ershui said
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up easily, you can just lie down and wait to die," Xing Rui said
"My family is dead, and I can't love anymore," Zeng Ershui said while eating roast chicken
"I'm done eating, I'm going to work," Zeng Ershui said
Zeng Ershui chirped, patted his buttocks, walked over, picked up the flat pole, and went back to the village with two bamboo baskets of medicine.
"Sister-in-law Niu, I'm here," Zeng Ershui shouted
Putting down his burden, he walked in with two bowls of medicine. Sister-in-law Niu also has a sister-in-law who is lying weakly on the ground in the house at the moment.
Zeng Ershui took the medicine and gave it to Sister-in-law Niu to drink first, and then asked Sister-in-law Niu to help her sister-in-law and pour the medicine down.
It doesn't matter if the medicine works or not, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor.
"Ershui, can this medicine save us?" Sister-in-law Niu said
"Don't worry, it will definitely be cured, don't you think I'm already well?" Zeng Ershui said with a smile
"Oh, can I have a few more bowls?" Sister-in-law Niu said that she didn't want to die yet, her life had just begun, and she hadn't enjoyed it yet, and she was about to die, and she was very unwilling.
Anyway, he is also a flower in the village, and before he can bloom brilliant flowers, he withered, and it is not a pity that this person lives and dies.
There is also a sister-in-law, she is still a child, and she has to face death before she starts her life, God really doesn't have long eyes.
"Sister-in-law Niu, you can't drink too much of this medicine, it doesn't make sense to drink too much, just enough is enough, you listen to me, I will send it again when I should drink it, Brother Kong is still continuing to boil the medicine", Zeng Ershui said
"Then you must come, we are waiting for you", Sister-in-law Niu said with a pale and feeble hand
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I will definitely come," Zeng Ershui said with a smile
"We're waiting for you," Sister-in-law Niu said
Zeng Ershui waved his hand and continued to carry the burden to the next family, the old and young in the village had already died of illness, and the men died first in order to protect the women, and only these widows and unmarried women were left in the village.
At this time, Zeng Ershui was the only man in the village, and he was also the lifesaver for these people, otherwise who else could they rely on?
After spending a long time, the medicine was finally distributed, and after these people drank the medicine, Zeng Ershui took the medicine bowl back. Carrying an empty burden, he carried two large iron pots to Lao Kong's side.
These bowls need boiling water to boil, and Zeng Ershui still knows this.
Without waiting for Lao Kong to come over, Zeng Ershui put all the empty bowls into the pot and put the two cauldrons on the shelf.
"Two big brothers, please leave it to you to boil the water, I'll go back to the village to pick it up, and those people in the village also need to be taken care of," Zeng Ershui said
"You can go, it's up to us here, you kid has finally opened up and knows how to help people", Xing Rui said with a smile
"Look at what you said, you saved me, those people in our village, I won't help, who else can help them", Zeng Ershui said with a smile
If you can help those in need, your life will be more meaningful......
