Chapter 41: Convincing the Village Chief to Receive Treatment
"Village Chief, I'm not here to ask when you will be treated, I want to tell you, if I have a way to treat this disease now, are you willing to help me?"
"What did you say?" The village chief suddenly raised his voice, and a pair of eyes kept looking at Fang Xiaoxiao's body back and forth, "Do you have a way?" What can you do? ”
"Is there anything I can do that you will know later, if I need your help now." Facing his look, Fang Xiaoxiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not afraid. She is still as calm as ever, in front of everyone's anxiety, as if the things in front of her have nothing to do with her. That kind of momentum has to be convincing, as if she has a natural charm.
"But why should I trust you?" Murazhang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll wait a little longer, the government will send a doctor with more advanced medical skills, and then we will also get corresponding help." It's just you, you say you're a little yellow-haired girl, what do you know? It's smallpox! Smallpox kills, you know? ”
The village chief swallowed his saliva and continued: "Take that doctor Zhang in the village, he has been sick in our village all his life, but what else can he do in the face of smallpox? Didn't you run away overnight?! You say make me believe you, what capital do you have to make me believe in you? This is the life of all of us in Yufu Village, it is a living human life, and it is not something that can be believed simply by saying it. ”
"If you believe me, at least 80 percent of people will be treated from now on. But if you don't believe me, you must wait until the doctor sent by the government comes, then I can tell you very clearly that there is only a zero chance that Yufu Village will be treated. ”
It is also because the village chief is doing his best to consider all the villagers, so Fang Xiaoxiao does not intend to ignore it. If it is put on someone else, such a pedantic thought, she will never be provoked.
"What do you mean by that?" The village chief was a little puzzled.
"Quite simply, if you believe me, at least none of us have to die. But if you don't believe me, we're all going to die. ”
Seeing that the village chief still had a wooden expression, Fang Xiaoxiao was about to vomit blood, but the situation in front of her was special, so she had to continue to explain patiently, "You said that you have already reported to the official, but how much time has passed, why hasn't the government sent someone for a long time?" It stands to reason that this is a matter of life, and they should attach great importance to it, and it is not more important to send a doctor to investigate as soon as you report to the official, and then mobilize a doctor with more advanced medical skills? ”
"Maybe there's something more important about them? Maybe something else is going to stumble up?! ”
"You also said that this is a big thing in life, and at the moment of life and death, what is more important about trivial things?"
The village chief's face turned pale, yes! In the face of life-and-death events, what is more important about trivial things? So why didn't they send someone for a long time?
Why did no one come?
The village chief thought and thought, and thought and thought. If that's the case, there's only one possibility......
"They've given up on us!"
Before he could say that idea, Fang Xiaoxiao said it for him.
Oh, yes.
Maybe they have already given up on us. Perhaps this is the most realistic possibility!
In an instant, the village chief's face turned pale. If that's the case, what should I do? How can I give an explanation to the villagers? Others can give up on them, but they can't give up on themselves.
However, he still had one last bit of luck, he didn't want to believe that the official talisman who had always been respected by these villagers would really give up on them.
"Why should I trust you?" The village chief was duplicitous, he didn't want people to know the torment in his heart at this moment.
"You're going to trust me." Fang Xiaoxiao hooked her lips, "If you really didn't believe me, I wouldn't be standing here now." If you really didn't believe me, you wouldn't be the way you look now. If you really don't believe me, you can go to the back hill and take a look, and see if there are heavy troops guarding it in the distance, a few miles away. Look at our Yufu Village, is it impossible to enter or exit at the moment. ”
Originally, Fang Xiaoxiao was not so sure that they had been abandoned by the government. But she really saw this scene in the back mountain.
A few miles away from Yufu Village, there are heavy soldiers guarding layer by layer, and they have been guarding them, so that people can't get in or out. Isn't their attitude obvious? Isn't it just waiting for everyone in the village to be almost infected, and then exterminate on the spot?
Pity these people have always been in awe of the government, but they didn't expect to end up so pitifully. If it weren't for the fact that she was also a member of this Yufu Village, if it weren't for the fact that poor Xiaobao was also infected with smallpox at the moment, she would not be willing to wade into this troubled water.
Don't look at it.
The village chief understood very well in his heart, Fang Xiaoxiao could say such a thing at this moment, and he was definitely ten million sure. If not, how dare she?
Right now, if she wants to live, if she wants to save the people in the village, the only one who believes in her is her.
Well, then take a gamble!
"I believe you, you say, what should I do, how should I cooperate with you."
Fang Xiaoxiao has been waiting for this sentence for a long time. She knew that it was the biggest limit that the village chief could say such a thing. After all, in some ways, there is no trust between them. If it were herself, she might not be able to be like the village chief.
"The most important thing we need to do at the moment is to isolate the infected patients first. Are there any vacant houses in the village? Isolation points can be set there. ”
The village chief thought for a moment and nodded.
"Old man Wang's house in the center of the village is idle, old man Wang just died last year, he is a widower, he has no children, and now there is no one at home."
"That's good, then you go and gather the infected patients now, and then take them all to Old Man Wang's house, I'll go and prepare some disinfectant potion, and then we will carry out disinfection and isolation measures first." Fang Xiaoxiao's expression was solemn, originally the village chief was still a little unbelievable, but seeing her like this, for some reason, he slowly calmed down.
It's as if she was born with a charm that can make people surrender, and people willingly obey her command. So, he was willing to believe her.
However, he still has a doubt-
"Girl Fang, are you sure you really have a way? You didn't lie to me? This is at stake for the lives of the whole village! Don't be careless, don't be careless! ”
