Chapter 268: The Only Chance
Huangfu Jingchen said in a deep voice: "Silver is not as important as life, as long as we can help, we will not be stingy with bankruptcy, but this epidemic must be controlled in Wangshan Town." If you run out and take the source of the disease out, even if it is just one person carrying the source of the disease, it will be like a spark and a prairie fire. Neighboring towns, Yanglu County, Huainan Province, and even more places will be affected. We can't take this risk! Listen to me, go back, the epidemic will be under control soon! ”
"Can it really be controlled?"
Huangfu Jingchen listened to this suspicious voice, and raised his voice: "Our hanging red continues, and there will be more and more intelligent healers coming over." Everyone believe me, I, the monk, am with you, the epidemic will not recede, we will not leave! ”
Shang Jingwang also said: "Rest assured, this official is here, and before the epidemic is cleared, this official will never leave!" ”
They have done a lot to treat the pandemic.
After Zhang Jiantang was imprisoned, seven days ago, he said that he had a prescription for the epidemic in his hand to offer, and Shang Jingwang personally went to the place where he was being held. said that it was a prison, but there was naturally no prison in the town, but in fact it was just an abandoned empty house that was guarded by people. Together with those who tried to kill Xia Wenjin at that time, they were all locked up over there.
Zhang Jiantang cried bitterly, saying that he wanted to change his past wrongs, he was blinded by lard before, and he had done something wrong, he already knew his mistakes, and asked Lord Shang to give him a chance to atone for his crimes. As a member of Wangshan Town, he only cared about making money before, but this time he found out what kind of image he was in the hearts of the villagers in the town, and he didn't want to be spurned by the villagers. I hope that in this epidemic, I can do my part to change the villagers' minds about him.
He actually came up with a prescription.
Shang Jingwang didn't know if this prescription was useful, so he took it to Xia Wenjin, and then looked at the effect after Xia Wenjin configured, although it could not solve the epidemic, but it also had the effect of alleviating. According to Zhang Jiantang, this is a recipe for miasma handed down by his ancestors. In this case, the plague is similar to miasma, or it may be useful.
Seeing his sincerity, coupled with the fact that there was indeed a shortage of doctors, Shang Jingwang released him.
In order to cure the epidemic, Shang Jingwang used all the power he could use and all the resources he could use.
Although many villagers are in the dark, now they know about the epidemic, Lord Shang and Huang Gongzi have paid so much, many villagers are ashamed, they are just ordinary people, the reason why they want to leave now is that they are afraid of contracting the epidemic sooner or later, and they are afraid of death.
But even a big official like Lord Futai stayed, and this Huang Gongzi was willing to stay, isn't their life precious enough?
If they make trouble again, can their lives be more precious than the lives of Lord Futai?
Someone whispered: "Go back, we believe Huang Gongzi!" ”
"Lord Shang is right, this matter has nothing to do with Huang Gongzi, he has stayed, what are we going to go?"
Most of the villagers are ready to retreat.
But suddenly a voice shouted: "Even Dr. Xiao Xia is sick, who can save us?" ”
"Yes, aren't we going back and waiting to die?"
"Why do you imprison those of us who are not sick because we are sick?"
"If we stay here, everyone will die, and only by going out will there be a way to live!"
"No matter how reasonable Huang Gongzi is, it won't save our lives."
"Yes, why are they willing to spend so much silver, it is to buy our lives, buy us to die here!"
"Folks, don't listen to them, if we wait any longer, we will be infected one by one, and finally become a burned corpse in the quarantine site."
"Yes, if you are burned, there is only a pile of ashes left, your parents don't know who you are, your relatives don't know who you are, and no one knows if you want to die?"
"We're fine, why wait here to get sick and then die? How about you have silver? How about having medicine? We don't need it, we just need to get out of here, we don't want to die here! ”
"Everyone, rush! There is still a chance to rush out today, if you don't rush out, there will be no chance in the future, there is only a dead end! ”
……
With such words, the villagers clamor again.
Huangfu Jingchen's eyes sharpened.
Many villagers were obviously ready to retreat just now, and they were persuaded by Shang Jingwang, but as soon as these people spoke, they immediately stirred up the emotions of the villagers.
Everyone is afraid of death, in the long wait, the people around them were infected one by one and sent to the isolation point, especially they even visited the isolation point at night, knowing how to deal with the patients who died of the epidemic in the isolation point, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, it is indeed the method of fire.
It's too shocking during the day, and this kind of thing is, of course, dealt with at night. With the spread of the epidemic, among more than 1,000 people, there are hundreds of seriously affected patients, and among hundreds of people, there will be several deaths every day. It's not a high percentage, but it's not wrong to dispose of and burn corpses every night.
When the news reached the ears of the villagers, it really filled their hearts with panic.
The villagers, who had calmed down, immediately changed their minds and began to rush forward again.
The twenty-four soldiers were already wounded, and although they were holding spears at this time, they did not dare to really stab these people.
Moreover, although they were twenty-four men and twenty-four spears, they were hundreds of people.
As long as they do it, they will be overwhelmed in an instant, and when all the villagers are out of control, they can only mobilize the army to suppress it, which will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
That's what really got out of hand.
However, at this time, the villagers had been agitated, and they had only one thought in their hearts, rushing out to have a way to live, and they rushed forward one by one.
Huangfu Jingchen squinted his eyes, there were these people who rushed up to kill those soldiers before, but now when the villagers were about to retreat, it was these people who instigated.
He looked intently, and in the midst of the crowd that had stirred up the villagers, there was a man wearing a hat, a gray face, and a patched shirt, whose eyes flashed, and he hid behind the crowd, but who was clearly the leader of these instigators.
At this time, under the instigation of those people, the villagers have lost their minds and rushed to the guard, as long as they rush out of here and remove the wooden fence blocking the road, they can leave the town.
Most of the soldiers transferred from the county, together with those brought by Lord Fu Yin, went to guard the isolation point and went to the village to investigate.
The people there in the quarantine point cannot be evacuated, the people who are seriously ill will not run, they have no ability to run. But for those with mild symptoms, some even just have a red dot on their body.
It is when you know that you are infected with the epidemic and panic, and if there are not enough people there, the problem will be even more serious if those infected people are allowed to run out of the quarantine points.
The people in the village who investigated it could not come back.
There are serious understaffing here, and this is their only chance to rush out.
