Chapter 221: Placement
After Bai Ling negotiated with the officials, a government officer took Lao Wu to the city to buy food, medicinal herbs and things to protect against the cold.
The reason why this village is uninhabited is because the land is thin and the crops are not well harvested.
A few years ago, a heavy snowfall crushed houses, killing most of the people in the village, leaving the rest to seek refuge with relatives or sold into slavery.
Therefore, in a radius of more than ten miles, in addition to this abandoned village, there is only a cemetery.
"Girl, only a cart of food and supplies was transported first, and dozens of pairs of medicinal herbs were distributed, and the rest could be delivered to Ming'er." When Lao Wu saw Bai Ling standing at the entrance of the village, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Good work." Bai Ling nodded, and said to the servant: "I bother you to move things to the entrance of the village, and after everyone has withdrawn, I will let people move things to the village." ”
"The girl is righteous, our brothers admire, as long as we don't let people out, we will try to cooperate with what the girl wants to do." The head of the official arched his hand.
"Bai Lingdai, thank you." Bai Lingfu thanked him and gave Lao Wu a look.
These officials were ordered to guard the village, but in fact they were all terrified, fearing that they would accidentally lose their lives.
Now that the officials are willing to cooperate, Bai Ling naturally does not hesitate to give them benefits, so as not to be hindered in their actions.
The contents of a carriage were quickly unloaded, and the officials immediately retreated to safety.
Lao Wu took two lists of medicinal materials to purchase, one of which was for prevention, and beckoned the people who brought him to boil the medicine for the officials to drink.
And Lao Wu is also a transparent person, he didn't forget to buy some wine and meat for the official when purchasing, and let the carriage go out to give the big guy a turn to rest, and soon established a relationship with the official officer.
The victims transported all the supplies to the village, cooked porridge and boiled medicine in the courtyard, and more than 200 people crowded the largest courtyard, and finally they were no longer in a state of waiting for death.
When Bai Ling was inspecting the decoction, he quietly put a few drops of spiritual liquid into it, but no one noticed it.
Afraid that these victims would have the heart to take precautions, whether it was decoction or millet porridge, Bai Ling took the lead in trying.
However, because of the lack of tableware, the big guys can only take turns to eat, but the thick porridge is enough, but there is no competition.
"Girl, can we really live?" After everyone had finished eating and drinking, an old man pulled his little granddaughter and asked tremblingly.
"As long as everyone helps each other and can cooperate with my treatment, everyone who can stand in this courtyard now can walk out alive." Bai Ling said loudly.
Hearing Bai Ling's words, the people in the courtyard were silent.
After a long time, a woman patted her chest and cried, "Master, why can't you endure it for two more days?" If you hold on a little longer, we can live together, what can I do if I am left alone? ”
"you, do you hear that? Will our children be alive? ”
"Son, don't worry, Dad will pull your blood to grow up."
"Daddy......"
"Mother......
"Woo woo woo ......"
For a while, everyone cried, mourning their families.
Bai Ling sat quietly by the fire, and at this time she couldn't say words of comfort, and even if she did, she was pale and weak.
Extreme grief needs to be vented, and crying can start again.
I don't know how long, the crying gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on Bai Ling again, as if she was the Nine Heavens Xuannu, only by staring at her could there be hope of survival.
"I know that the big guys have come all the way to the Northland, and they have all suffered a lot, and each has its own misery. But now that the situation is pressing, I hope you can cheer up, for yourself or your living relatives, or even for the sake of your relatives who hope that you can live well, but have gone to rest in peace in another world. ”
Bai Ling stood up and shouted in a loud voice:
"The disease you have can be transmitted to people who are not in good health, but it is not incurable to treat the symptoms with medicine, but it requires a lot of money to be cured. So, for the sake of the living, I hope that everyone can unite and follow my arrangement. ”
"One of the things that is very important at the moment is that there are a lot of corpses in the village that need to be dealt with urgently, if we leave it alone, even if it doesn't go wrong, it will spread the virus in the future, and it will lead to a new epidemic and more accidents."
"So, I propose to cremate those who have already died! Even if you don't do it now, when you recover and can leave this village, the court will do the same, and you may not even get the ashes of your own relatives at that time. ”
Bai Ling can't explain it in words like a virus, but can only explain it in the words of the locals, hoping that everyone will accept and understand.
But Bai Ling's words fell, but no one answered.
The dead are the largest, and the corpses in the village include the relatives of these people, and there are also people who do not know each other.
However, the ancients believed that cremation would make the deceased unpeaceful after death and fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, so they were unwilling to do anything that would damage yin morality.
"I'm coming, is there anyone willing to do it with me!" A man stood up abruptly and shouted, "It's not easy for us to live, do we have to die again because of the dead?" ”
"I do!" Others stood up one after another, apparently not knowing the dead.
Between living and respecting the dead who don't know each other, most choose that they can live.
"No, you can't burn my family, I don't want to cure it, and no one can touch my family!"
"You can't burn it! The body is burned, and after death, you have to go to the eighteen layers of hell, so can you still be reincarnated? ”
"Woo, don't burn my mother, don't!"
Some relatives died in the village, and they all spoke out to resist.
Bai Ling looked at these people with a headache, but he also knew that it was not easy to convince them.
People who want to live don't want to take risks anymore, and people who have lost their loved ones don't want their loved ones to die without peace.
Rubbing his swollen temples, Bai Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Don't make any noise!" Everybody listen to me. ”
Everyone looks at Bai Ling, and the person who can bring them the possibility of survival is the one who has the most right to speak.
"If you don't burn the corpse, none of us will want to leave here alive, and the court will not agree to you taking the corpse away. What everyone is most afraid of is that after the cremation, the relatives will suffer from hell, so after we leave, I will ask the monks in the temple to give them an excess, so it's okay, right? ”
Bai Ling thought of the best of both worlds, and didn't want to force anyone to make painful decisions.
"Benefactor, I'll kowtow to you for my family!" A woman knelt down towards Bai Ling.
"Woo, I've kowtowed to my benefactor too."
One after another, people knelt down, and Bai Ling felt powerless about it.
The firefighter was bowed down, and it was still a great favor to do things to surpass the dead, could she refuse?
"Everyone, get up quickly, if you are milder, help take care of the old and weak, everyone should rest early, Ming'er will start to clean up the village, don't take medicine and blow the cold wind, and then make the condition serious." When the big guy's illness is cured, I will invite the big guy to eat dumplings in the Chinese New Year's Eve! ”
Bai Ling couldn't stand this kind of scene the most, and hurriedly raised his voice.
The victims wept and laughed, and soon organized their own rest.
After all, Bai Ling is a weak woman, and because of her doctor's identity, the victims consciously cleaned up a shelterable room for Bai Ling, lit a fire for her, and took the thickest quilt.
As for the others, they naturally have to squeeze in, but they are much better than the previous situation, at least they will not freeze to death in their sleep.
