Chapter 265: String Break
The boundary between Wangshan Town and Yanglu County is an open area, and an isolation point has been built on the east side, which is tightly guarded by the garrison of the county seat to prevent those patients who have been infected with the epidemic from escaping and bringing the source of the disease out.
If it is a town, it is still under control, and if the source of the disease goes out from Wangshan Town and spreads outward, then the matter will be more serious and troublesome.
This is also the meaning of Shang Jingwang.
To the west, however, this was the road leading to the county seat, and twenty-four soldiers were sent to guard it in six shifts.
Although there are still many people in the town and village who are not killed, and they are being investigated every day. However, when we visited the patients suffering from the epidemic in the mountain town, they lived in scattered places, in the south, east and west, and no one knew where the source of the disease was, and now no prescription for the epidemic was studied, so even those villagers who were not infected were not allowed to leave the town and go elsewhere.
Huangfu Jingchen and the immortal ghost doctor were originally about to enter the town, but they saw from a distance that there were noisy people at the sentry point, and there was a lot of commotion, which was at least a few hundred people.
Several soldiers on duty were almost overwhelmed by this large crowd.
Those people are people from various villages.
The immortal ghost doctor looked over there, then looked at Huangfu Jingchen, and said with a smile: "Little doll, if these people rush out, it will be fun!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen was anxious, put the little marten into his sleeve, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed forward. When they got closer, they saw Shang Jingwang and Wang Bolao also hurrying over.
Sixteen other soldiers, who had already gone down to rest on their shifts, also hurried over.
Wang Bolao shouted from afar: "Folks, folks, don't be impulsive......
He was already a little obese, but when he got the news and hurried over, he couldn't breathe, and after a few words, he kept panting.
Those who collided with the soldiers were all middle-aged men from the village, they were asked to stay at home, they were not allowed to go anywhere, and they were forced to drink preventive medicine every day, and every day someone would come to investigate, and every time they checked, they would take a few away, and those who were taken away, some of them were their relatives, some of them were their neighbors.
Let their heartstrings be tense too.
These days, the string has finally snapped.
They didn't get the latest news, and even though Wang Bolao kept reassuring them as the mayor of the town, panic still gripped them.
They think that they are not sick, so they just let them stay at home, and then people keep getting sick, and they take a few with them today, a few tomorrow, and those who take them will never come back.
Said it was sent to the quarantine point.
Some people took advantage of the middle of the night to inquire about the news, and when they came back, they were horrified and said that many people had died in the isolation point, and in the middle of the night, those bodies were piled up in the pit behind the isolation point and burned, and all the people in the isolation point died overnight.
This news quietly spread all over the surrounding villages, making the people in those villages even more panicked, people sitting at home, the disease does not know where it came from, if you have been at home, sooner or later you will be infected, you will be caught in the isolation point and never come back, you will become one of the corpses burned at night, isn't this waiting for death?
When people's fears reach a certain level, they will rebound.
They decided to escape.
They are obviously not sick, but they can't leave because of those who are sick, and they stay in the village and get sick sooner or later, so if they continue to stay in the village, they will die!
Only by escaping and leaving here can we not be found by the epidemic and have a way to live.
They heard that there was a post on the way out of the town, but there were not many people guarding the post, and if they broke through it, they could escape.
As long as you escape, you can live, and you don't have to wait here to die.
I don't know who led the way, but they chose to rush to this post today, ready to escape.
The soldiers at the guard saw that it was not right, and there were many villagers with tools and weapons rushing here? Is this going to rush to the post? They hurriedly sent one person to report, and the other seven pointed the tip of their spears at the rushing crowd.
The bright and cold tips of the guns made them a little apprehensive, and the momentum of rushing over was stunned, and the soldiers hurriedly shouted: "What are you going to do? Go back, don't pass here! ”
After the initial shock, the villagers paused for a moment and immediately stabilized.
Someone shouted, "Let us go." We're not sick, so why are we being stopped here? Are you trying to kill all of our town? ”
The soldiers on duty were secretly anxious in their hearts, so many people rushed over, they couldn't stop it. Fortunately, they did not mess up in this situation, and sent a person to report the news, and the remaining seven confronted these villagers, they were only responsible for guarding, and the military orders were like a mountain, and they were also panicked in the face of so many people who were out of control at this moment.
They said, "We don't care what your reason is, we don't allow it here." Go back! ”
One of the villagers shouted: "There are only seven of them, seven spears, and we also have hoes and penny sickles, we are not afraid of them, we will rush out first, and then we will say, if we don't rush now, we will have no chance in the future." Are we going to have to wait for death in the village? ”
"Yes, rush out, whoever blocks will hit whom!"
The squad leader among the soldiers shouted: "Lord Shang has an order, if anyone dares to rush to escape here, he will not be merciful, and there will be no mercy!" ”
But this kind of cheer not only did not frighten the villagers, but made them even more excited: "Waiting in the village is also a death, rushing to the post is also a death, in case you rush out, there is still a way to live, rush!" ”
As a result, the scene became very chaotic, but fortunately, the other two shifts of soldiers on duty also arrived in a hurry, they were trained after all, and after a few civilians were wounded, a confrontation situation was formed.
However, the emotions of those people were very emotional, especially when they thought of sitting at home and being sent to the isolation center, and then they died silently, burned by the fire, and there were no bones, they looked at the eyes of the soldiers as if they were looking at the enemy.
They launched waves of onslaught, carrying farm tools in their hands, and long rakes and sticks longer than the spears in the hands of soldiers.
Fortunately, these twenty-four soldiers are trained, and they are more disciplined than the organized villagers, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and there are too many villagers.
Although these villagers did not rush out for the time being, these twenty-four soldiers were also very embarrassed, and they were about to be unable to hold on.
The soldiers were also painted and wounded by farm tools such as hoes and sickles.
There were more and more villagers, and their emotions became more and more out of control, and at first they only wanted to force the soldiers away, but then they smashed them indiscriminately, and the twenty-four soldiers retreated one after another, and everyone was wounded.
If this continues, these twenty-four soldiers will soon be overwhelmed by the crowd of villagers.
This is what Huangfu Jingchen saw.
Shang Jingwang and Wang Bolao, who hurried to hear the news, saw the same situation.
