Chapter 266: A Small, Isolated Village

"You three are from outside!" The man asked.

He Zefeng stood in front of the two girls and nodded.

"We saw on the news that the disaster relief here couldn't keep up, so our medical staff came over first to see if you were sick and needed help."

Shen Wanbai thought that these people would let them in after listening to their words, but he didn't expect those people to still stand there without the intention of letting people into the village.

"There are witches in our village, and you don't need a doctor, so you can go as you want!"

The man's words overwhelmed Shen Wanbai and the others. After knowing that they were doctors, they did not welcome them, but drove them away, and said that there were witches in the village.

After a stalemate with the man for a while, after making sure that they would not let him into the village, He Zefeng decided to turn around and leave.

It's just that it's getting dark, and where can they go if they go?

"Bastard thing!"

In desperation, an old voice came from the back of the crowd.

Shen Wanbai heard the sound a few times, and saw that these villagers had moved out of the way after hearing the voice.

An old man walked out with a crutche, the old man walked very slowly, but it was obvious that he had a high status in the village.

The old man looked older than Mr. He, but his eyes were clear and not cloudy, and he didn't know if it was because he lived in the countryside because his body looked a lot harder.

"You guys are really, they are doctors who are here to help us, and if you don't keep people well, you have to drive them away, and you want to drive them to the mountains to feed the wolves this big night?"

The old man was still very angry as he spoke, and hit the ground twice with the crutch in his hand, and the people around him didn't dare to speak, not even to make a sound.

"Hello, I'm the village chief of Huaiyou Village, a few of them are ignorant, come and sit in our house and drink a cup of hot water!"

Shen Wan was then invited to the house, the house was made of stone, and there was a fire burning inside, and sitting around the fire also made people a little warmer.

Because of the constant fire in the house, the house was blackened for four weeks, and there were no light bulbs in the house, and now it can only be lit by a small candle.

And this small candle was lit after Shen Wanbai and the three entered the door, and it should have been a kerosene lamp lit before.

"Are all three of you doctors?" The village chief sat down next to the three of them and asked.

"No, I'm here with them, my main task is to deliver supplies!" He Zefeng said that, and then pointed to the backpack that he had put aside.

The village chief nodded when he saw this, and the man who blocked them before didn't know where to go and brought out a few sweet potatoes.

Seeing that Shen Wanbai sent over, the man blushed embarrassedly, he seemed to be a little too fierce just now.

"Don't be surprised. There have been people who have come here before, and they have also come out to treat us in the name of doctors. As a result, we found out later that those people took a fancy to our side of the foundation and wanted to buy this side of the land, so they drove people away in a fit of anger, and then they didn't trust others very much. ”

The man distributed the sweet potatoes in the bowl to Shen Wanbai and the others, and explained the reason when he distributed them.

Shen Wanbai didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard this.

After the misunderstanding was explained, the old village chief asked a few more questions, and He Zefeng replied truthfully. And the old village chief was also in this chat, and then he learned that the road into the mountain outside was blocked.

However, to the surprise of Shen Wanbai and the others, no one in this village knew the news of the closure of the mountain.

Looking around, Shen Wanbai was somewhat able to understand.

From the moment they entered the house, there was not a single item that was in line with modern times, except for an electric light that would not turn on, as if it were a small isolated village.

"We don't go out much, so we don't know much about what's going on outside, and even this electric light was just turned on two years ago. There are only three in the village, and my family is one of them. ”

The boy saw Shen Wanbai looking at his electric light, so he explained with some pride.

Shen Wanbai smiled when he heard this, why didn't he find out that this boy was still a little cute!

"Then if your people don't go out, and if the people outside don't come in, how are you going to school!"

Shen Wanbai suddenly thought of such a question, looking at the boy's age, he didn't even go to school.

"They go to school, there is a small school in the village with a teacher. Every day when they are idle, they will be taught to read some books and recognize Braille! By the way, I'm also a teacher and a doctor! ”

The village chief rolled a cigarette as he spoke, and then smoked.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and in came a woman, who had added wood to the fire, and it seemed that it was the boy's mother.

After the boy's mother finished speaking, she was about to go to prepare for the next thing, and Shen Wanbai also glanced at it casually, and saw that the boy's mother's wrist was a little suppurated.

"Big sister, wait a minute!" Shen Wanbai hurriedly stopped the person, pressed the person on the stool, and then played with the woman's sleeve.

At this time, He Zefeng and Shi Yao also saw clearly that there was a scar on the woman's wrist, because of improper treatment, it had begun to suppurate, and it had not been a day or two since anyone saw it.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I'll find some herbs and apply a compress for two or three days, and I'll be fine!"

When the woman saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her wrist, she immediately blushed and wanted to take it back, but was held down by Shi Yao.

"Eldest sister, this is not a trivial matter, if your wrist continues to rot, I'm afraid this hand will be scrapped!"

Shi Yao endured the nausea in her heart and said such a thing, this was the first time she had seen such a wound suppurated.

Shen Wanbai also discussed his actions quickly, so he took out something from his schoolbag and began to disinfect the eldest sister's wrist.

After cleaning up all the pus and applying medicine, Shen Wanbai bandaged the eldest sister's wrist.

"What's wrong with your hand? I don't pay attention to it at all, and if it breaks after that, it's just a hand gone! ”

Shen Wanbai also felt terrified when he thought about it now, if he hadn't seen it just now, I'm afraid that this eldest sister would have to endure the pain until her whole hand was gone.

"My mother accidentally fell when she went up the mountain a few days ago, and she originally said that it would be good to put some herbs, but it hasn't been good for so many days!"

"Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I don't know when my hand would be cured, thank you!"

The boy's mother was very grateful, and after thanking her, she hurriedly went down to prepare dinner.

As soon as the boy's mother walked slowly, the village chief chatted with the three of them about the current situation in the village.

Shen Wanbai also took the opportunity to inquire about whether there was anyone sick in the village, but the old village chief's answer to this matter was a little hesitant, and in the end, he didn't say it directly.

Such an answer made Shen Wanbai suspicious, it stands to reason that under such weather conditions, there should be one or two people in the village who have a cold.

But the old village chief didn't mention it to anyone, but this is a matter in the village, Shen Wanbai is not good at asking too much as an outsider, and the village chief didn't say anything, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After confirming this matter, Shen Wanbai and the three of them unanimously decided to continue their journey to the next village on the second day. The situation here is not very serious, but not necessarily in the next village.

"What's your name?" Shi Yao chatted with the boy next to him when he was bored.

"Second baby!" The boy's answer made Shi Yao freeze in place. What kind of name is this, there is not even a regular name, the second baby is obviously Xiao Ming.

Shi Yao was anxious, and wanted to say something after hearing the name of the second baby, but before she could say it, she was held down by Shen Wanbai next to her.

After the second baby's mother finished cooking, the group moved to the kitchen to eat, Shen Wanbai thought that he would eat sweet potatoes and vegetables, but he didn't expect that there was meat in the pot.

"We don't have much contact with the outside here, so these pigs and chickens are all raised by the family. I made some bacon for the Chinese New Year before, and I have been eating it until now, you can taste it, this is our specialty here"

Shen Wanbai picked up a piece after listening to the introduction of the old village chief, and sure enough, it was really a unique flavor.

This meal should be the happiest meal Shen Wanbai has eaten since joining the volunteer team, but Shi Yao has eaten a little bit of food.

After eating, the boy's mother prepared a room for them to rest. Shi Yao couldn't figure out what Shen Wanbai had stopped her when she was lying on the bed.

But I don't know why, Shi Yao was able to suppress the doubts in his heart and didn't say a word.

Later, Shen Wanbai couldn't help it and opened his mouth first.

"Shi Yao, it's very backward here, we can't use our minds to think about their affairs. It's like they still have witches who don't believe in doctors, but we can't do anything about it. ”

It's not that Shen Wanbai doesn't want to do anything, but the reality is here, and in the face of such a closed and ancient village, they can't do anything.

Although the village chief had already told them that there was no such thing as a witch before, maybe Shen Wanbai didn't believe it? What the village chief's son said before was so swearing, not like nothing.

"Then we don't care about them? This thinking is obviously wrong, so we don't say it? Aren't we born with the right things to insist on? No matter what the outcome is, just keep it up! ”

Shi Yao was not very able to understand Shen Wanbai's thoughts.

But Shen Wanbai was very able to understand Shi Yao's thoughts. Shi Yao has not yet left society, and he has a pure heart for everything. But after crawling around in society, who can maintain his pure heart.
