Fortunately, on the road of endless heaven, the place where Xu Ding and Xu Chu became ill was a valley, and I don't know who put it where, there happened to be a pile of dead wood, and the two brothers struggled to light the fire to keep warm, and they were all like ashes, just hugging each other to keep warm.

And in that valley, Xu Chu and the others made a fire around a large area of plants with serrated leaves, and the two brothers estimated that they were almost going to die anyway, and they were hungry, so they didn't care whether they were poisonous or not, and grabbed those leaves, like a turnip, pulled up a pile, and after cleaning the soil with their clothes, they set themselves on the fire, and the two of them roasted the rhizomes like turnips, and ate the roasted rhizomes.

In this way, the two brothers waited for death while eating, but the strange thing is that within two days, the heat on Xu Chu's body actually subsided by itself, and then Xu Ding's fever also subsided.

Slowly, when the two of them burned the pile of dead wood, the two of them didn't feel cold, so as if they had picked up a life, Xu Ding and Xu Chu couldn't help but hug each other and cry.

After recovering from their illness, Xu Ding and Xu Chu didn't dare to go back to Xujiazhuang, but they were still reluctant to go home, so the two discussed just going back to take a look.

Xu Ding and Xu Chu were able to come back to life in a daze, Xu Ding thought it was the reason for eating the rhizomes of the plants with those sawtooth leaves, and Xu Chu thought it was the reason for the fire, but no matter what, the two brothers were still ready to go back to see if there were such people in Xujiazhuang, and if so, they would tell the people in Xujiazhuang about this method.

When the two brothers cowered back and prepared to walk to Xujiazhuang, they passed by the earthen bags where Xu Chu's grandfather and the third grandfather were buried.

By the time the two brothers arrived in Xujiazhuang, the entire Xujiazhuang was like hell, full of dead bodies, and there were no living people.

The two brothers didn't dare to enter the village, they just stood at the entrance of the village and shouted for a long time, and they didn't see anyone come out to pay attention to them.

So after these officials determined that the two brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu were from Xujiazhuang, they forced Xu Ding and Xu Chu to bury the people from Xujiazhuang on the spot.

Although Xu Ding and Xu Chu did not dare to enter the village, under the persecution of the officials, and the two of them could not be justified morally, and there was a way to cure the disease, the two still had the courage to bury dozens of people up and down Xujiazhuang.

In the end, at the request of those officials, the two brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu completely set Xu Jiazhuang on fire and burned it to the ground.

Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, but they were afraid that Xu Ding and Xu Chu had contracted the disease and that they would infect other people, they secretly released arrows when the fire was lit, preparing to shoot the two brothers.

Fortunately, Xu Chu was already sixteen years old at this time, and he was also tall and strong, and his strength was also very great, and he became flexible again after he recovered from his illness.

Where did those officials dare to let them go, they chased and killed them all the time, and after chasing for three or four days, Xu Ding and Xu Chu were hungry and tired, and finally they were blocked in a broken grass shed by the helpers recruited by the officials.

After being blocked, the officials were ready to shoot them directly, and at this time, an older official said that since it had been three or four days, Xu Ding and Xu Chu had not become ill, and they should not have been infected with the plague, so they asked Xu Ding and Xu Chu to go to the government to explain things clearly.

Xu Ding and Xu Chu arrived at the official mansion and told the matter, and the master of the official mansion deduced that it was the donkey meat that caused the trouble according to the two brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu.

The master said that if it weren't for Xu Chu's third grandfather who had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he was just alone, and he had no children and no daughters under his knees, and the donkey meat sent by Wang Xiong would not have rotted.

The rotten donkey meat, if it weren't for Xu Chu's third grandfather who was reluctant to cook and eat it, and Xu Chu's eldest grandfather asked him to divide each family, the plague would not have spread so quickly.

Later, the plague broke out, fortunately Xu Ding escaped with Xu Chu, and when the master knew that Xu Ding and Xu Chu had also fallen ill, it was very strange how the two of them could survive.

It wasn't until Xu Ding told them about the radishes-like rhizomes they had eaten on the fire, and the master suddenly realized that the plants with sawtooth leaves they ate were wild rhubarb, also known as horseshoe rhubarb.

Horseshoe rhubarb can treat the plague because rhubarb has the effects of attacking stagnation, clearing dampness and heat, purging fire, cooling blood, dispelling stasis, detoxification, etc., Xu Ding and Xu Chu two brothers swallowed this antidote by mistake.

In addition, the two brothers were in the same year, they were full of vitality and strong body, so they made a fire on the pair of dead wood, and they succeeded in saving themselves alive.

After figuring things out, the government still did not let go of Xu Ding and Xu Chu, and even convicted them, and separated the two brothers, Xu Dingfa was assigned to Guanwai, and Xu Chu was assigned to Yashan.

Pity Xu Chu is young and has no opinions, since the government has convicted them, Xu Chu didn't think much about it, and there was nowhere to go, so he sent him to Yashan with the government, and because Xu Chu had practiced martial arts with his third grandfather, he was favored by Fang Da as soon as he arrived in Yashan and became his slave.

When he arrived at Yashan, as he grew older, Xu Chu often thought about who was to blame for the disaster in Xujiazhuang, but he couldn't figure it out when he thought about it.

Xu Chu's third grandfather is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is warm-hearted, if he wants to say that the rivers and lakes are in emergency, he does righteous things, and leaves the people of the Wang family, Xu Chu's third grandfather should be not wrong.

And the people of the Wang family would rather leave secretly overnight after knowing that they were dragging down Xujiazhuang, which is also the righteousness of the Wang family.

When Wang Xiong left, he did not forget to repay, killed the last donkey of the Wang family, thanked Xu Chu's third grandfather, and left the remaining donkey meat to Xu Chu's third grandfather, which was also Wang Xiong's act of gratitude.

And Xu Chu's third grandfather walked the rivers and lakes, had no children and no daughters, and after eating donkey meat, he went to help the Wang family beg for food, which was also a good intention of Xu Chu's third grandfather.

Xu Chu's grandfather thinks about the people of the entire Xujiazhuang and persuades the people of the Wang family, and it cannot be said that Xu Chu's grandfather is wrong, this is a matter of position.

Xu Chu's third grandfather saw that the Wang family was righteous and did not drag them down, and left quietly, he felt very uncomfortable, and went to chase the people of the Wang family, and even went for half a month, which is also Xu Chu's third grandfather's sincerity as a Jianghu person.

When he came back and saw the rotten donkey meat, Xu Chu's third grandfather thanked Wang Xiong in his heart, in this case, because the people of the Wang family ate too much food, Xu Chu's third grandfather was reluctant to throw away these donkey meat, so he cooked it to eat, and Xu Chu's grandfather happened to come to him, the two of them combined, there was delicious nature and could not forget the other brothers, so they divided the donkey meat that caused trouble, which finally led to the tragedy of Xujiazhuang's almost extinction, and there was no way to say it.

However, all of them are well-intentioned, but they can't say what's wrong.

But if it is not wrong, then the tragedy of the people of Xujiazhuang who almost died is really a great grievance.
