If the plague is not treated, it is already very desperate. Now the people in the cottage are going to burn them to death, which is undoubtedly cooking oil on the fire.

Everyone became excited, and they all looked for wooden sticks and other weapons to rush to the exit.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and even if Zhou Huazi shouted out his voice, he couldn't calm down those who collapsed.

Seeing the people rushing to the exit fall one by one, the star fruit in a hurry shouted loudly: "Don't panic, Master Qiao will come to save us." We can't rush out at all now, and instead of killing ourselves, we might as well think of ways to avoid arrows and fire. What if Master Joe arrives in time? He is a good official, and he will never watch the mountain bandits disregard human life. ”

When these words were shouted, they naturally couldn't deter anyone. But Zhou Huazi beside him heard it clearly.

He frowned and looked at the star fruit, his expression was very cautious: "Who is Lord Qiao, and who are you?" ”

"Lord Qiao is the newly appointed county magistrate of Xihuo City, and I am his wife, star fruit." At this time, star fruit can't hide its identity. If you can't control this shock, if you really let the people in the cottage throw down the fire, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhou Huazi's expression became excited, but in an instant, he was full of vigilance and disbelief: "If you are really the wife of an official family, how can you fall into this step?" Although those mountain bandits did not send troops to station, the entire West Fire City had already become their territory. With them guarding the city gates, how can the county commanders enter the city? Besides, after the fall of Xihuo, the imperial court should send troops to quell the rebellion, how could it only send only civil officials? ”

The doorway in the middle can't be explained in a sentence or two, and the star fruit can't talk to him at all.

"The imperial court naturally has the plans of the imperial court." Carambola pulled down the corner of his clothes and said softly, "Let's take a step to talk." ”

When he arrived at a secluded place, star fruit pretended to be mysterious and said: "The imperial court can only send Qiao An over, naturally because it believes in Qiao An's ability." I'm not afraid to tell you that there are people from the court in this cottage. Under Nei Ying's arrangement, Qiao An had already entered the county seat. When he prepares his troops, he will attack the cottage to save us. ”

Zhou Huazi still didn't believe it, and the star fruit had to sigh: "I didn't say this in vain. ”

"What credentials do you have?"

Carambola glanced at the mountain full of torches, and said with a resolute expression: "Our people will never let them drop their torches." If you don't believe it, even if the torch is thrown down in the end, it will be able to stalemate for at least half an hour. ”

She actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but star fruit believed that Yang Pan would never watch her being burned to death, even if it wasn't for the sake of flesh and blood affection, but only for the conscience of heaven and earth, he would definitely do everything to stop it.

Therefore, she boldly bet: "Looking at your appearance, you should have been the general of Xihuo." You need to know how to judge the fighter and the situation. Even if I lied to you, you gathered your men to find a safe place to hide, and you didn't lose anything at all. In the current situation, except for you, no one else even has a piece of iron, what to use to rush, what to use to break through? ”

Zhou Huazi frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "I will believe you once, if it turns out that you are lying to me in the end, I will definitely cut off your head with my own hands." ”

"If I lie to you, no one here will get out alive." Star fruit looked directly into his eyes and glared back unrelentingly: "If it weren't for saving you, I would have been caught in the cottage, and I wouldn't have been left in the back mountain." I came to cure everyone's illness and take everyone out safely. ”

When people are desperate, they always see a little hope and can't wait to hold on. Even Zhou Huazi is no exception.

Emotionally, he almost completely believed in star fruit: "I'll arrange it, and you have to be careful yourself." It's just that we have escaped the fire, and there is still a plague waiting for us. ”

Star fruit nodded, her gaze firm: "Don't worry." ”

Until now, watching Zhou Huazi contact the old department, star fruit knows that this is also a character. He had shouted in his throat and no one answered, but now when he changed the code, thousands of people stood in front of him.

It didn't take long for the originally disciplined army to be set up again. They were a bit of a blockade to the radical masses, some looking for a relatively safe place, and some were pulling water to prevent a torch from being thrown down.

In short, the chaotic crowd suddenly became orderly. Star fruit watched from the sidelines, and was shocked in his heart: if such a hidden army is really forced to become a mountain bandit, it will really be a disaster for the people of Xihuo.

The situation here has just stabilized, but the people on the mountain are ready to move.

Yang Pan's forehead was full of fine sweat, and he knelt on one knee in front of the big boss but didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, only lowered his head and pleaded: "After all, it is thousands of lives, and the big boss thinks twice." ”

"When the plague spreads, it won't be thousands of people who will accept their fate." The big boss frowned: "Now is not the time to pity them at all." Do big things without being informal, you don't have a woman's mind. ”

"But now that the situation is sensitive, Qiao An has basically mastered Xihuo County, and he doesn't know what to do next. Now the people of West Fire City have a good impression of us, but if the fire burns so many people......"

"If you don't burn them, the people of the entire West Fire City will suffer." Seeing that Yang Pan was still trying to persuade him, the big boss waved his hand impatiently to stop him and said, "Needless to say, even if he dies in the hands of a dog thief surnamed Qiao in the end, he can't let the plague spread." ”

"Set fire!"

The big boss gave an order, and the torch naturally rained down.

Star fruit hid behind the big stone and watched, and her heart was half cold: Fifth brother, you have to save us, you have to add more oil to save us.

The first group threw their torches and stepped back, replacing the next group and throwing them down.

Zhou Huazi and the others had already prepared, and when the first torches were thrown, someone went up to extinguish the fire. Although it can't be wiped out all at once, it won't be enough to kill everyone in time.

But when I looked up, I saw that there was still a torch on it. If this is thrown down one after another, there is really no way to extinguish it.

After all, manpower is limited, tools are limited, and even well water is not as much as you want.

The second batch of torches came down again, and Zhou Huazi was so anxious that she grabbed the neckline of the star fruit and scolded: "Didn't you say that Qiao An would bring troops to rescue?" What about people? Didn't you say that there were people from the court there, and the torches would never be thrown down? What's going on now? ”

The star fruit was shaken by him so much that his brain hurt, but he still forced himself to calm down: "Wait a little longer, it will definitely be fine, for sure." ”

Zhou Huazi didn't know if the situation would get better, but he knew that even if he killed star fruit, it would be useless. So after scolding a few nonsense, he threw her away and busily went over to direct the scene.

Seeing that the fire was about to burn, Zhou Huazi ordered: "guy, kill it!" ”

At this moment, the third batch of torches on the mountain was also ready. The big boss was about to give the order to throw it, but Luo Niang and Xiaohuzi rushed over in a hurry.

"Oh no, someone escaped."

"What?" The big boss didn't understand what it meant, frowned and asked Luo Niang, "Who escaped?" ”

"The plague patient has been hiding in our room for three or four days. He had eaten all the things that came out of the room. Because there are no dishes and chopsticks, the water is drunk directly in the water tank with your hands, and the food is eaten secretly while people are not paying attention. Luo Niang looked at the big boss in a daze, and her originally dark face was so white that there was no blood.

"What do you mean?" The big boss's face became solemn, he already understood what this meant, but he couldn't accept it for a while.

"The whole cottage people ate the food that the sick man had eaten, and drank the water that the sick person had drunk. To control the plague, it is no longer enough to burn the back mountain. Luo Niang didn't want to face this fact either, but she had to bite the bullet and say: "Everyone present may have been infected with the virus, and it will be poisonous in a few days." ”

Xiaohuzi asked at the right time: "What should I do, is it possible to burn all the people in the entire cottage to death?" ”

The big boss glanced at him fiercely, and the little tiger shrank his neck in fright, but he still lowered his head and said: "The people in the back mountain were infected before, and there was no reaction. When they realized that it was a plague, dozens of people died. Let's see that it's okay now, but if we don't treat it quickly, the consequences will be very serious. ”

The big boss's face turned black into carbon, but he can conquer cities and conquer cities, and he can go into battle to kill the enemy, but he can't cure the disease.

So, he looked at Luo Niang expectantly and asked her, "In your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

"Recruit doctors to go up the mountain and discuss effective remedies for the plague. If not, it will be a disaster. ”

"But at this time, West Fire City has fallen into Qiao An's hands. Let's recruit doctors with great fanfare, didn't that tell him plainly that something happened to our cottage? The big boss's face became darker and darker, and he pressed one hand on the scabbard at his waist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out too hard.

Everyone fell silent for a while, and no one knew what to do.

At this moment, the guy who was in charge of lighting the torch fell to the ground. After Luo Niang went over to check in person, her originally pale face instantly turned purple: "It's a plague, and it's the same as the disease in the back mountain." ”

As soon as these words landed, the surrounding brothers all panicked, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for help from the big boss.

Don't talk about others, even the big boss himself has no bottom in his heart. He eats and drinks with his brothers all day long, and maybe he has also been infected with the virus?

"Big brother, please doctor!" Yang Pan knocked his head down, and said sincerely: "Qiao An has only been here for a long time, even if he has soldiers in his hands, he may not be able to move." The people of Xihuo were tossed and scared by the court officials, and they would definitely not help him. Let's ask for a doctor with great fanfare, and he may think it's a trap. ”

"Even if he really figured out our old bottom, he might not dare to attack." Xiaohuzi raised his chin and said brightly: "First, the people will help us, and secondly, the people who are locked up in the county dungeon are all greedy for life and afraid of death." The most important thing is that his entire county government has only 3,000 troops, and in addition to the city defense troops, the number that can be mobilized is worth 1,000. Come and fight us, he's just looking for death. ”

What Xiaohuzi said may not be right, but it comforts the contradictory heart of the big boss.

He couldn't stand the bitter begging of his brothers and couldn't think of a better way, so he had to relent: "Then go to the West Fire City to post notices and recruit doctors to treat the plague." ”

Yang Pan's heart was relieved, and he asked the big boss: "Then the mountain ...... back?"

"If you want to cure left and right, then govern together." The big boss was originally not a ruthless person, and waved his hand to let the brothers retreat: "Divide a group to help fight the fire." I have to take them down in one fell swoop through this incident. They can't save their lives, they still have to fight against Lao Tzu. ”

At the bottom of the valley, the officers and soldiers who were about to rush out also stopped. The torches didn't go any further, and there was no need for them to rush to their deaths.

So, I took the guy and was busy putting out the fire.

The heart was about to jump out of the star fruit, and the heart was loosened, and the legs softened. Seeing that she was about to fall, Zhou Huazi held her up and said, "My subordinates are originally the generals who protect the city, and since the county commander has arrived, my subordinates and all the officers and soldiers under him are ready to be dispatched at any time." ”
