Several people present glanced at each other, and they all hesitated to go in. Ji Shengli didn't hesitate, because he knew that the person who could wave to them must be a normal person, so he was the first to walk in.

As soon as the rest of the people saw that Ji Shengli had entered, they naturally didn't dare to stay in the courtyard, so they all followed Ji Shengli one after another...... The situation in the house was really unexpected, Ji Shengli originally thought that there were at most a few families hiding inside, but when they went in, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the house.

Ji Shengli had seen all of these people when he was registered, although he couldn't call their names one by one now, judging from their age and gender, the people hiding here were basically women and children, including the village chief's wife, Aunt Zhao.

"Aunt Zhao, what's going on?" Ji Shengli whispered.

When Aunt Zhao saw that it was Ji Shengli, she cried and said, "Xiao Ji, why are you back again?" Something big happened in the village, and a lot of people died......"

Hearing Aunt Zhao say this, everyone's hearts sank, Ji Shengli hurriedly asked her not to cry first, and quickly explain the matter, why did so many people die? After that, Aunt Zhao and several other women hiding in the house told him what had happened in the past two days.

It turned out that after Ji Shengli left, the old village chief arranged for someone to gather several injured villagers together, not only did not let their families bandage their wounds, but also claimed to burn them all to death after dark.

Some of them were only bitten, so their families strongly disagreed, and they got into trouble at the village chief's house. As a result, at this moment, I suddenly heard a scream coming from the house where the injured villagers were being held!

When everyone rushed over to check the situation, they found that the door had been forcibly smashed open from the inside, and several villagers who had gone crazy were walking out of it.

Everyone saw that there were too many people who were crazy, and if they were hard, more people would definitely be bitten, so everyone hurriedly took the people who had not been bitten and hid back home, temporarily avoiding these villagers who had gone crazy.

When Ji Shengli heard this, he was very puzzled and said, "Aunt Zhao, you tell us the truth, why do people in Qianqian Village have to be cremated if they die?" Why did the villagers refuse to go down the mountain to the hospital when they were injured? And also...... Why did the old village chief insist on burning to death the villagers who had only been bitten once or twice? ”

Aunt Zhao's face turned pale when she heard this, and her expression was quite hesitant, as if she didn't know how to speak. When Ji Shengli saw it, he patiently persuaded, "Aunt Zhao, things are all at this time, if you don't tell the truth, everyone may die here today!" ”

Aunt Zhao was still hesitating after hearing this, but a middle-aged woman with a child next to her preemptively spoke, "Cadre Ji, you must save us, even if you can't save us, you must save our children, these dolls really can't continue to stay in the mountains!" ”

After that, the middle-aged woman told Ji Shengli and them some of the past events of Qianqian Village......

Qianqian Village has been called "Mad Dog Village" in the Qing Dynasty, and later during the Republic of China, when a government official passed through this place, he felt that the name Mad Dog Village was really indecent, so he changed it to Qianxin Village with a stroke of a pen, and after liberation, it was changed to Qianqian Village again. As time passed, except for the people in the village, the rest of the people gradually lost their memory of why their village was called "Mad Dog Village".

In fact, the reason why they were called "Mad Dog Village" was not because there were really mad dogs in the village, but because more than 100 years ago, the plague was rampant in the village, and the patients infected with the plague looked like mad dogs and bit people when they saw them, so their village was called "Mad Dog Village" by outsiders.

But the cause of this plague and how did the epidemic finally be completely eradicated...... Only the people in the village know best.

In order to escape the scourge of war, the whole village moved to the mountains, although they no longer had to be disturbed by the war, but the life in the mountains was not much better.

The land in the mountains is barren, and the crops grown are not growing well, so in order to have enough to eat, the men of the village go into the mountains to hunt and collect mountain goods...... It's kind of barely maintained.

One year, there was a great drought in the mountains, and there was no rain for several months, and the people in the village had to walk for a day to go down the mountain to carry water back in order to survive. But this water is only enough for people to eat, and it is a drop in the bucket if you want to use the water from the mountains on your back to water the crops.

Seeing that the rice jars of every household are about to bottom out, if you don't want to find any other way, I'm afraid that people in the village will starve to death. One day, the people who came back from the water found that many animals had died in the mountains, and although they had no obvious external injuries on their bodies, they fell to the ground one by one with stiff limbs.

At first, the people in the village did not dare to eat these animals that did not die normally, but after a long time, people could not bear it...... In the past, when there was not enough food, you could go into the mountains to pick up some mountain goods.

But now there is a great drought in the mountains, there are almost no mushrooms and wild vegetables, and there are fewer and fewer living animals, and if they don't eat these dead animals, I am afraid that the whole village will really starve to death.

The corpses of animals were dragged back by the villagers, and some of them had even begun to decompose, but the hungry villagers at that time could no longer take care of so much, as long as they could eat enough and live...... It doesn't matter if anything else. But those people didn't know that although they solved the current crisis, they buried a greater hidden danger for their grandchildren and descendants.

Two months later, the drought was finally alleviated, and the mountain delicacies and game meat gradually increased. But when people were no longer worried about eating, they found that many people in the village began to grow red markings on their bodies......

At first, no one in the village took these painless markings seriously, until a villager died in an accident, and the crisis suddenly broke out!

At that time, people were preparing to bury the dead, but the person who had already died suddenly rose up and pounced on people when they saw them! Open your mouth and bite!

And those who were bitten to death by him would soon become like mad dogs, scurrying up and biting people in all directions! In the end, the mad dog-like villagers were killed by the combined efforts of others.

They thought that killing all the crazy villagers would be solved, but they soon discovered that although those bitten people were no different from ordinary people when they were alive, once they were on the verge of death, they would suddenly go crazy and continue to bite people everywhere!

At that time, the village also invited Lang Zhong from other places to come back to see if this disease could be cured, Lang Zhong came to the village to ask about the situation and analyzed, a large number of animals in the mountains died violently before, and it was very likely that they died of some kind of plague.
