Chapter 67: Cremation
When he found Wen Mo, he was discussing something in Lu County.
The house guarded by the officers and soldiers in front of him was piled with corpses.
Seeing that Su Jin'an was coming, Wen Mo stopped talking, and the cold water chestnut softened a little.
"Jin'an, what are you doing here?"
"Look what you do with these corpses."
Su Jinan said and nodded to the county commander of Lu.
Lu County Ling was also full of smiles: "Thank you Miss Su for your generosity!" ”
"Lu County is polite!"
"By the way, what are you going to do with these corpses? If you don't get it right, it will breed diseases! ”
"Oh, we're going to dig a hole and bury it." Lu County Ling replied.
Hearing this, Xiu's eyebrows furrowed.
Wen Mo saw that this was an opinion, and took the initiative to ask: "What good suggestions does Jin'an have?" ”
I don't know when Miss Jin'an became Boss Su, and I don't know when Boss Su became Jin'an...
Someone's pace is a little slower, but he's always improving.
"In the immediate aftermath of the floods, the soil was soft, and the bodies were buried in the ground, mixed with the groundwater, and the toxic substances that flowed out were likely to be consumed by the people. Moreover, after rotting, a large number of mosquitoes and flies will breed, and they will bite people, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no outbreak of plague. Su Jinan explained seriously.
Lu Xianling nodded, thinking deeply.
"It seems that the plague after the disaster in the past is likely to be caused by the inadequate disposal of corpses."
Wen Mo nodded in agreement.
"After the flood, the water is mixed with a lot of things that are invisible to the naked eye, and people can also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea when they eat it." Su Jinan continued.
"So what?" Wen Mo said with a smile.
"So, I recommend burning, just burn to ashes."
In ancient times, it was important to enter the soil for safety, and Su Jin'an's suggestion made Lu County Ling hesitate.
"It's... Burning the corpse, that is, there are no bones left, I am afraid that many family members will disagree! ”
"If the county magistrate believes me, it's up to me to explain it to everyone." Su Jinan said confidently.
Lu County Ling looked at Wen Mo in embarrassment, Wen Mo bowed slightly, Lu County Ling nodded in agreement!
A large pile of dry firewood was laid in the courtyard of the morgue.
Because relatives were notified yesterday to bury the body this afternoon.
So from the beginning of the morning, some people came to worship with incense paper.
At noon, the yacha was stacking firewood, and the worshippers were a little strange.
An eldest lady took the initiative to come forward and ask: "Official, may I ask what you are doing with so much firewood?" ”
Yacha shook his head: "I don't know what I was ordered from above." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the doubts in their hearts became bigger and bigger.
A strong man guessed: "This pile can't be burned corpses, right?" ”
"What? Cremators? No, no, no...", a guess made the eldest lady excited.
At this time, Wen Mo, the county lord and Su Jin'an happened to come over.
The eldest lady knelt in front of Lu County's order: "My lord, you can't burn comfort, if you burn my son, you will be annihilated in ashes, and there will be no bones left, my lord." ”
Lu Xianling was stunned, the three of them knew about this news, why did it spread out?
didn't have time to think about it, and helped the eldest mother with both hands: "Auntie, don't worry, if there is something to stand up and interrogate slowly, can you tell me who told you that you want to burn the body?" ”
"Where else does anyone need to say? It's obvious enough that there is so much firewood here, my lord, you can't lie to us about the burial you announced yesterday. ”
The eldest lady couldn't get up when she knelt, Lu Xianling was a little embarrassed, and unconsciously looked at Wen Mo and Su Jin'an.
Su Jinan took the initiative to step forward and squat in front of the eldest mother: "Auntie, I remember that your son's name is Zhou Quan, right?" ”
The eldest lady did not understand why this bodhisattva-hearted girl knew her son's name.
Nodding again and again, "Yes, girl!" ”
"This week is all about saving my mother, but everyone who has spread it here, we all know that he is a dutiful son!"
"Yes, Quan'er is a dutiful son, but... However, I'd rather he leave me alone and run out on his own, what else do I have to live at my age, woo..."
Thinking of the scene that night, the eldest lady cried again.
At this time, the eldest lady had already stood up with Su Jin'an's support.
Wen Mo made a look, and immediately someone moved a stool over, and Su Jinan just helped the eldest lady to sit on the chair.
When the eldest lady was almost venting, the crying gradually turned into sobbing.
At this time, almost all the family members of the deceased came, and they gathered in circles and circles.
Su Jinan took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.
Said gently: "Auntie, in your son's heart, if you live well, he will not die in vain, if you don't take good care of yourself, your son will really die in vain." ”
Hearing this, the eldest mother was stunned.
Su Jinan stood up and looked at the people here, every pair of eyes full of grief for the loss of a loved one.
"Many of the people lying here have died to protect their families, and they are all heroes. ”
I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "Hero." ”
The crowd roared.
"Hero..."
"Hero..."
……
"Can we make the hero go uneasy?"
"Can't..."
"Can't..."
……
The voices came and went, and it seemed that the mood was almost over.
Su Jinan continued: "Do you remember that there was also a flood in Ningxi County eighteen years ago, and the severity of this time was less severe than that one? ”
One old man recalled: "It wasn't as serious as this time, but some people died. ”
Su Jinan looked at the old man and asked, "Do you remember what reason those people died in the first place?" ”
The old man didn't know what he remembered, and his face was shocked: "It's the plague, it's the plague, the flood originally only killed more than 20 people and a large number of domestic animals, but the plague later killed most of the entire county." ”
The old man couldn't help crying.
The crowd panicked.
"Will we have a plague this time?"
"What to do? Are we going to flee? ”
"I don't have a penny, and I'm afraid I'll die on the way to escape."
……
"Please be quiet." Su Bai said loudly.
The voices of those with internal strength were loud and penetrating, and the people who had heated discussions were quiet.
Su Jinan continued: "This plague is not unavoidable, why is it easy to produce plague after the flood? There are three reasons: first, there are many impurities in the water, and it is easy to get sick after eating; second, dead animals and domestic animals are eaten by people who have no food; The third is that the dead are buried in the ground, and after decaying, various viruses are produced, which are mixed with the groundwater, and people will get sick after eating them. ”
"You say, if your relatives know that the person they saved died because of the virus produced by their own corpse, how can they die blindly?"
"This..."The lady on the side heard it very clearly and was stunned.
The scene was silent, and Wen Mo was also attracted by Su Jin'an on this side.
Su Jin'an took advantage of the victory and said.
"Is it the living who are important, or the dead who are important?"
"The soul of the hero is with us, and the corpse is gone, what does it matter?"
"If the living are kept alive because of the burning of corpses, and their souls go to the underworld, Lord Yama will have to make a merit for them."
"Let them be reborn in a better family in the next life."
"You say, is it okay to burn corpses?"
The crowd around was excited and wept, and they were all immersed in Su Jin'an's words and couldn't extricate themselves.
The strong man who first guessed that the corpse would be burned was also the first to raise his fist at this moment.
Shouted: "Good! ”
A "good" like a flat mine woke everyone up, and they all responded: "Good, good, good..."
The sun, obscured by dark clouds, broke out of the encirclement, and the golden light was so bright that people couldn't help but squint.
Like the hope of rebirth, it fills the world, and people cheer!
Next, one by one, the corpses were thrown into the raging fire, and the heat was blowing, and in addition to sadness, people felt more rebirth!
In fact, the flood 18 years ago was told to her by the old lady when Su Jinan was chatting with a local old lady last night, but the old lady recalled the year, which was really too bitter and bitter.
At that time, there was no generous Su Jin'an, let alone a great prince who knew how to see the suffering.
The past can't be saved, and the only thing that can be done well is now.
The problem was solved, Su Jin'an breathed a sigh of relief, Lu County Ling admired him so much, and Wen Mo was also pleasantly surprised.
Su Bai's fan's eyes were even more eager for Su Jin'an to follow wherever she went.
However, someone would not give him a chance, and after the burning was over, he was dragged to his tent on the pretext of discussing the follow-up.
Of course, the road county order is also there.
In front of Su Jin'an, Wen Mo not only did not fight, but also turned to a little daughter-in-law, where did Su Jin'an fight.
Lu Xianling saw everything in his eyes, and naturally classified Su Jinan as a woman with warm ink.
So much so that one day when I heard the news that the prince of Yanguo was a good man, my jaw dropped in shock.
Post-disaster reconstruction is more difficult than disaster relief and requires strong human, material and financial support.
In the tent, Su Jin was comfortably drinking the tea poured by Wen Mo.
Lu County Ling reported the latest disaster population and property data to Wen Moyu.
Until he finished speaking, Wen Mo handed out a cup of hot tea: "Lu County Order, hard work, drink a cup of tea, sit down and let's talk slowly." ”
"Yes." Lu Xianling took the tea and sat down.
After getting along in the past few days, Lu Xianling became more and more suspicious of whether the legend of the eldest prince in the capital was a rumor that the eldest prince was cold-blooded and difficult to get along with.
Looking at Su Jin'an, who was playing with the teacup, Wen Mo asked, "What do you think about this?" ”
Female dependents have always been forbidden to participate in politics, but I didn't expect the eldest prince to take the initiative to ask this girl's opinion.
Lu Xianling became more and more curious about Su Jin'an.
But Su Jin'an didn't seem to hear it: "Wen Mo, you like to drink this tea Su Rui really likes, you send me some and I'll bring it back for him..."
Wen Mo's face darkened, but he still endured the anger of wanting to kill Su Rui and replied, "Okay! ”
Lu County Ling was a little puzzled, Su Rui heard that it was Miss Su's family, and this can also be jealous?
Su Jinan didn't care so much, and got the answer he wanted, so he said slowly: "Most of the people who survived this time are children and the elderly, and a small number of strong laborers. Therefore, the upbringing of children and the survival of the elderly are particularly urgent. ”
"I'm preparing to build a children's home and a nursing home. If both parents are dead under the age of 18, and those who are over 50 years old are widowed, I will cover it. You can do the rest yourself. ”
Su Jin'an kept in mind the matter of the eldest lady just now, and after speaking, she put down the teacup and walked out of the tent, but she didn't see that behind her, Lu County ordered a bow to ninety degrees.
