Chapter XXVII: Outbreak of the Plague
I swallowed my saliva a little scared, the more I thought about it, the more terrible it became, and I looked away, but Liu Yixiao picked up the bucket that I kicked over, threw it directly to the bottom of the well, and shook it back and forth with the rope.
Liu Yixiao stretched out her hand and pulled the rope, found that there was some weight, raised her eyes and glanced at me, with a smile on her face, I instantly understood what she meant, needless to say, took the initiative to step forward, and began to pull the rope up and down.
As before, when the rope was nearing its end, there was a section of rope that was dyed red.
I placed the bucket on the ground, the bright red blood water was fluctuating, and when I looked closely, there seemed to be something in the bucket, and it began to slowly float upwards.
In an instant, a fat rat that had been disemboweled, appeared in the bucket, floating on the blood, all the internal organs and intestines were scattered, and a fishy smell came to the face.
Vomit!
I covered my mouth and turned my head to the wall to retch, fortunately I didn't eat much in the morning, but the smell felt a little dissipated in my nose.
"Here we go!" Liu Yixiao stared at the mouse in the bucket with a solemn expression, and said in a quiet tone.
Liu Yixiao seems to be immune to these things, just like last time at Lao Yangtou's house, I vomited a lot of meat and vegetables, but Liu Yixiao didn't even change her expression.
"What started?" I frowned, and I wanted to look back at Liu Yixiao, but as soon as I saw the bucket, I couldn't help but want to vomit, so I could only stiffen my neck and look at the wall and ask.
"It's time." Liu Yixiao said softly and added one more explanation: "The time given by the family immortal is up." ”
That's right!
These ghoul rats are all under the control of the family immortals, and now that this has happened, it must be the orders of the family immortals.
They...... It's time to come!
Bang bang bang!
The courtyard door was knocked on rumblingly, Liu Yixiao also paid attention to the situation outside the door, I walked to the door, and as soon as I opened it, I didn't see the figure outside the door, and I was pushed to the side.
As soon as I stood still, I saw the old guy from the village chief, standing in front of Liu Yixiao complaining, and it can be said that he was in tears: "Teacher Liu! What do you say, the water in the village has turned into blood water, and you can't drink it, and besides, someone in the village has the plague...... Is the plague contagious?! ”
“…… Village chief, don't worry, I already know about the blood and water, I will find a way to solve this, as for the plague, I'll go and see it first. Liu Yixiao's voice is friendly, which can invisibly soothe people's emotions.
When the village chief heard that Liu Yixiao was willing to go and have a look, he was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way in front: "Okay, you come with me, there are several families who have contracted the plague, and in order to isolate, I will let them all move to the ancestral hall in the village." ”
"It's right to do that, but it's okay to deal with ordinary plague, this plague ...... I'm afraid it's not that simple. Liu Yixiao's expression was a little solemn, as if she had just remembered, she turned her head to look at the village chief and asked, "By the way, have you arranged for someone to take care of those who have the plague?" ”
"This ...... Because they all got the plague from one family and had no relatives, they ......" The village chief suddenly choked, and his hesitant appearance could already explain everything.
After we arrived at the ancestral hall, we found that the ancestral hall was a little depressed, the gate was closed, and no one was haunting, Liu Yixiao was about to open the door and walk into the ancestral hall, the village chief suddenly stopped Liu Yixiao: "Wait, wait, wait a while, Teacher Liu." ”
Liu Yixiao and I glanced at each other for some reason, and we didn't understand what the village chief meant, but we saw the village chief hurriedly take out a mask from his pocket and put it on.
The look of fear of contracting the plague is really annoying.
I watched coldly as the village chief made this series of actions.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, let's go in." The village chief's eyes narrowed into slits, and the mask couldn't cover the fat on his face.
In fact, I have a little weakness in my own heart, but seeing that Liu Yixiao does not want to deliberately avoid it, there should be nothing wrong, although Liu Yixiao is kind and likes to be helpful, but it is not to the point of letting myself die and sacrificing my life to save people.
Liu Yixiao slowly opened the door of the ancestral hall, and the sound of coughing came out one after another, and I stood at the door and saw a group of people huddled together, lying on the ground in the ancestral hall.
I knew there might be a lot of people, but I didn't expect it to crowd the floor of the ancestral hall, and some people were even coughing up blood, and there was no one to take care of them, and some were just some people with mild conditions, trying to help others feel better.
Not to mention Liu Yixiao, even I was a little shocked when I watched this scene, and I felt aggrieved and sad, Liu Yixiao did not enter the door, closed the door of the ancestral hall again, and turned to leave.
"Eh, Mr. Liu? Why don't you go in and see how everyone is doing? What about the blood? The village chief was stunned, trotted after Liu Yixiao and asked.
Looking at the nervous look on his face, although he kept asking about those who had the plague, I knew that what he was most worried about was actually the matter of blood, if the bloodwater was not resolved, not to mention those who had the plague, even the healthy people in the village, would not survive.
"I'll figure it out." Liu Yixiao said indifferently.
The village chief looked tangled, and he followed beside him as if he wanted to speak, and I couldn't help but snicker in my heart when I saw him deflated.
In the distance, I saw other people in the village surrounding the road, blocking our way.
"Teacher Liu! What's the deal with the plague and the blood? ”
"We can't leave the village, do we have to stay here and die?"
"It's just, we haven't rushed any bad things, why do these things fall on us?!"
……
Everyone talked about it, but their faces were full of fear, horror, and confusion, filled with an atmosphere of fear, and some people even began to suspect Liu Yixiao, and everyone's faces were gradually filled with a look of despair.
"Don't think about it, don't worry, it's all just a ghost, my grandfather is a Taoist priest, and I have inherited his mantle, since I haven't left, I will try to help you, but if you don't believe me all the time, it will only take three days at most, and everyone in the village will die!" Liu Yixiao's expression suddenly changed, and she scolded sharply.
Even I was taken aback, after all, Liu Yixiao was originally gentle and rarely angry, but now she has a sudden attack, which can really shock people.
"You all go home, if it's okay, don't wander around outside, let the village chief send someone to the city to buy the usual drinking water, and I will find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Liu Yixiao paused, her tone softened, and she tried to soothe.
This is the legendary slap and then a sweet date?!
After everyone dispersed, only me and Liu Yixiao were left, I approached Liu Yixiao and asked softly, "What are you going to do?" ”
