People are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are also very energetic. Just after noon, the martial arts team members walking in the mountains and forests can already vaguely see the bluestone exterior wall of Dawu Village that is built according to the layout of the houses in the village, and even the three words 'Dawu Village' on the archway in front of Dawu Village are also roughly recognizable.

Stretching out his arms and wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Wan Yixiang, who had always been at the front of the queue, finally stopped, gasped heavily, and put down the grain picks that had not left his shoulders all the way.

Turning back to Wan Yi's side, Zhong Youtian, who was walking in front of the team, reached out and untied the water hyacinth he was carrying on his waist and handed it to Wan Yixiang: "I really didn't see it, if you ring this lean and lean body, you are also a character who can carry a burden of 200 catties and walk a long way?" Drink saliva, rest your feet, and we'll be on the ground in a while, clean up our own energy, and the family will be happy to see it, right? ”

smiled gratefully at Zhong Youtian, and took the water hyacinth handed over by Zhong Youtian with both hands, but only took a few sips of water from the water hyacinth, moistening his dry throat slightly.

Nodding approvingly, Zhong Youtian casually threw the water hyacinth handed back by Wan Yixiang to another member of the martial arts team who had just put down the grain picks on his shoulders: "Just follow the way it sounds, just take a sip of water to moisten your throat and eyes!" When walking in the mountains and forests and sweating all over, remember not to drink water, it will choke the lung tubes! ”

Han smiled and took the water hyacinth thrown by Zhong Youtian, and Ding Zhuang of Dawu Village, who had just joined the martial arts team, nodded again and again: "I understand this, you can't drink cold water in a hurry to do heavy work and run long roads!" In previous years, when I was cutting wheat for others, I had to sprinkle a handful of wheat bran in the herbal tea sent by the main family, because I was afraid that I would drink cold water and fall into the root of the disease if I was thirsty! ”

Seeing that the people in front of the team stopped, the chestnut group walking in the middle of the team and also carrying a pair of grain picks also put down the heavy grain picks on their shoulders, and took off the Japanese military kettle that was slanted from their shoulders, and took a sip of water to moisten their throats, and then shouted to the other members of the martial arts team: "Put down the food picks and rest your feet, pick up the clothes on your bodies, and when you go home and see your family, you can cheer up one by one!" We have won the battle, except for the scourge, and we have gone home to report the good news to our relatives! ”

In the roaring sound of promises, Li Ziqun casually handed the kettle in his hand to a member of the martial arts team beside him, and strode to Zhong Youtian, who turned back: "There is nothing wrong around the village, right?" ”

Waving his hand towards the chestnut group, Zhong Youtian replied loudly: "It's very quiet!" I climbed to a high place to see, but there were no people in the village who made a fire to cook, and there were no people in the wheat field at the edge of the village. I don't know if any of the children are naughty, and there is a wheat straw circle hanging on the archway in front of the village......"

I only heard that there was a wheat straw circle hanging on the archway in front of the village, and when I stood on the left side of Zhong Youtian to pick up the clothes on my body, I suddenly stared at him, and shouted to Zhong Youtian urgently: "Brother Arita, you are not mistaken?" On the archway in front of the village, there really is a wheat straw circle?! ”

Nodding subconsciously, Zhong Youtian opened his mouth and responded, "That's right! It's hanging on the corner of the cornice on the archway, what's wrong? ”

The expression on his face changed suddenly, and his tone became more anxious in case of ringing: "It's broken...... Brother Tian, there are rules in the villages on the ground in Qingle County, but if there is an extraordinary epidemic in the village, then you have to hang a wheat straw ring on the big tree next to the archway in front of the village or the intersection into the village, so as to stop the people who want to enter the village, and avoid the epidemic in the village to go elsewhere to harm others! We've only been out for more than ten days, so how can there be an epidemic in Dawu Village....... No, I have to go home and see my wife first! ”

grabbed Wan Yi, who was about to run towards Dawu Village regardless of it, and the chestnut group shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic yet!" Last time I went to Dawu Village, I heard that there are famous doctors in the village, so it is said that there will be no major incidents?! ”

He was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, and shouted at the chestnuts in case of a loud sound: "Captain, Mr. Han in the village is good at treating red injuries, and he can usually clean up a headache and brain fever with his hands, but this can pass the epidemic...... I'm afraid that Mr. Han can't do anything, so he hung a wheat straw ring on the archway at the entrance of the village! ”

With a lot of strength in his hand, the chestnut group once again grabbed the sound of wanting to break free of him: "Then you can't rush towards the village recklessly!" If there is really a great epidemic in the village, then as soon as we leave the village, maybe we will bring this extraordinary epidemic everywhere! But if we're trapped in the village, we won't be able to help anything......"

Frowning and thinking for a moment, the chestnut group gently let go of the slap on the arm of Wan Yixiang, turned his head and shouted to the old martial arts workers gathered around him: "Communist Party members and Communist Youth League members come to the front!" ”

There was almost no hesitation and pause, and almost all the old martial arts team members gathered around the chestnut group, silently waiting for the chestnut group's order. Looking around at the old martial arts team members around him, Li Ziqun raised his hand and pointed at Zhong Youtian, who had just left the road: "Youtian, you take a trip, first go to the village to find Mrs. Jiang to inquire about the situation clearly, and then go to the village entrance to call and contact!" The others are on standby, and no one is allowed to approach Dawu Village without my orders! Arita, be careful yourself! ”

With a neat answer, Zhong Youtian pulled his legs and ran towards Dawu Village. And the other members of the martial arts team also gathered around the chestnut group, stretched their necks and looked in the direction of Dawu Village, and even forgot to put the water hyacinth in their hands to their mouths.

After waiting for a meal, the chestnut group finally saw Zhong Youtian standing on the wall facing him in Dawu Village, took off his clothes and waved vigorously, as if beckoning him to hurry over.

Once again, he stopped Ding Zhuang of Dawu Village, who had just joined the martial arts team, from running towards the direction of the village, and the chestnut group was about to lead the monkey in the direction of Dawu Village, but Mo Tianliu, who was walking almost with empty hands all the way, suddenly came to the side of the chestnut group and whispered to the chestnut group: "Big boss, why don't I follow you?" I am familiar with the situation in Dawu Village and several surrounding villages, if there is really a situation to ask, I can't afford to toss back and forth? ”

After thinking for a while, the chestnut group nodded slightly, and led the monkey and Mo Tianliu to stride towards Dawu Village. He had just walked out a few steps, but Sha Bangcui, who was sweating profusely, chased after him regardless of it, and said to the chestnut group in a muffled voice: "Captain, I will stay with the sky......"

didn't care about saying anything to Sha Bangcui, who looked resolute, and the chestnut group led Mo Tianliu and the others to strode to the place where Zhong Youtian could be seen clearly on the wall, his hands were folded in front of his mouth into a horn shape, and he shouted loudly to Zhong Youtian: "What's the situation in the village?" ”

Condescending, and it happened that there was a wind blowing forward behind him, Zhong Youtian didn't need to shout like a group of chestnuts, but raised his voice and shouted: "A few days ago, there was a merchant in the village, and everyone who exchanged things with that merchant had someone who was sick, vomited and diarrhea, and couldn't get out of bed after a day's work!" The old lady Jiang sent out to look for the doctor and saw the corpse of the merchant ten miles outside the village, and she was afraid that the root of the disease came from the merchant! ”

"What's the sickest thing to do?"

"People have turned into a handful of firewood, and if the water and rice don't enter, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for two days!"

"How many people have gotten sick?"

"One pass ten, ten pass hundred, and when Mrs. Jiang ordered the village to be closed and the street was cleaned, there were already two hundred people lying down sick! To this day, there are almost more than 300 people who have seen the disease, and Mr. Han, who knows how to heal in the village, has seen it, and only said that he is afraid that it is like the plague in Gongnan County twenty years ago......."

As soon as he heard Zhong Youtian's answer, Mo Tianliu's face suddenly changed, and he shouted at the chestnut group: "The plague in Gongnan County in the twentieth year, I heard that tens of thousands of people died, and the cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens all died!" I heard that Qingle County sent people to block the large and small intersections leading to Gongnan County at that time, preventing a person from Gongnan County from crossing the border, so that the plague did not pass to Qingle County......"

Nodding with concern, Sha Bangcui replied in a rough voice: "I have also heard about this, several villages in Gongnan County have died and become extinct, and the best water has been abandoned for several years, and no one dares to plant those lands again, for fear of being contaminated with the plague that can surpass people!" ”

Nodding solemnly, the chestnut group shouted again to Zhong Youtian, who was standing on the wall, "Have you asked Old Lady Jiang?" Is there any cure for the disease? ”

Nodding his head vigorously, Zhong Youtian shouted loudly: "There is a way, but it is terrible that there is a big difficulty." Now that Mrs. Jiang has publicly discussed this matter in the ancestral hall, it should take half a while, and she should be able to have a definite statement! ”

Before the words fell, a clear gong sound had already sounded in Dawu Village. After the sound of the gong sounded three times, a slightly hoarse loud voice shouted faintly from Dawu Village: "The children of the Jiang clan in Dawu Village have listened - no one in the family is sick, and there are strong men, and the strong men in the family have come to the ancestral hall to wait for orders....... If no one in the family is sick and there are strong men, the strong men in the family will quickly go to the ancestral hall to wait for orders......."

At the beginning of the shout, an irrepressible cry suddenly sounded in Dawu Village. In the houses of many small families living outside the wall of Dawu Village, some men who were in charge of the house also came out one after another, looking into the wall with gloomy faces......

Stomping his foot heavily, Mo Tianliu closed his eyes tightly: "It's over...... This epidemic must be out of control, so Taigong is planning to ...... Wash the village! ”

Looking at Mo Tianliu with a painful look on his face in surprise, and then at Sha Bangcui, whose face was flushed, his fists clenched and he was panting, the chestnut group asked urgently: "Tianliu, what is it called washing the village?" ”

"The Zhuang family lacks medical care and medicine, but whenever they encounter a great epidemic, in order not to make a village of people die, they have to ....... The sick people were driven out of the village, and the land was found and confined. If God is gracious, maybe someone can pick up a life! But...... For as long as I can remember, I haven't seen a few people alive in the villages around Qingle County......"
