Chapter Seventy-Nine: A New Epidemic Emerges
Runye played the spirit flag, and there was an extra bell in his hand, which was called Sanqing Ling.
The three clear bells guided the dead souls to follow the sound, and as soon as the bell rang for the night, a bunch of people went to the new tomb.
When crossing the bridge, a group of people stopped by the river, and the night was chanting again.
After crossing the bridge, we took a two-mile detour to the foot of the mountain. Runye's cave is located in the middle of the mountain, with the back of the mountain facing the water.
The way up the mountain is always difficult, and it takes half an hour to get there, but fortunately the distance is not far.
Runye flashed to the side, and there were already two dug graves on the cave. The coffin bearer lowered the coffin into it.
Runye asked people to set the table, put kneeling stools, and took out a new set of utensils, concocted in the same way, and recited in front of the grave.
At the end of the recitation, Runye got up, lit a stick of incense, and handed it to Zhan Ao.
"Let's go, let's go home."
This time, Runye let Zhan Ao walk in the front, Taro helped him turn on the light, and behind Zhan Ao were Zhu Hongyu and Amber, the two walked side by side, and continued to scatter paper money along the way. Runye walked at the end, waving the spirit flag.
Chang Pingchuan, Ergou, and the coffin bearer stayed in the cemetery to seal the coffin.
The incense in Zhan Ao's hand was burning, and a wisp of green smoke flew into the sky, very safe.
The moonlight was hazy, and this wisp of green smoke formed a cloud seal in the air, slowly following the three filial sons.
The door of Zhu's house was wide open, the red lantern in front of the door was replaced by a white lantern, and the four people carried the lantern from taro all the way to the altar.
Before Runye walked to the altar, he first bathed in incense, that is, he dug a small pit in the ash of the small incense burner and filled it with cypress powder. Then light the incense stick and insert it into the cypress powder.
After the cypress powder is ignited, it is quickly covered with more incense powder.
This is what the Taoist priest must do before going to the altar, so the Taoist priest also calls himself "Xuanzi Burning Disciple".
I saw the spices burning, rising into repeated green smoke, and Runye walked aside.
Zhan Ao stepped forward and inserted the incense stick, which was only an inch long, into the large incense burner.
Runye methodically continued the three pillars of fragrance, and the moonlight covered the tablet, and it seemed that the golden words on it were more dazzling.
"You kowtow, and you can take off your clothes."
With that, Runye stepped aside and took off his robes.
The coffin bearer came back at this time, and they finished their work, talking and laughing. Runye opened the bag he was carrying, found a copper basin and poured the peach bark into the bag. Beckoning a group of people to wash their hands with mahogany bark water.
I lit another handful of sandalwood and smoked it on them.
Runye heard the sound of the door closing, and walked a few steps to chase after it, it turned out that Chang Pingchuan saw that everyone was back and wanted to lock the door.
"Don't lock the door, both the lady and the lord will come back today."
When Chang Pingchuan heard Runye's words, he was startled and hurriedly hid aside.
Runye hurriedly relieved the embarrassment and put on a smile.
"Leave it to me here, you can go down for supper."
Zhu Hongyu invited Sister-in-law Gui to come over, just to let her make an unprecedented funeral banquet.
The time of the night dispatch was just right, and when Sister-in-law Gui was at the banquet, it happened that there was a knock on the fourth watch outside the door.
That is, the ugly time has come.
Runye watched the incense by the altar, and Zhu Hongyu brought a bowl of steaming rice balls from the kitchen.
"Runye, let's have some."
Seeing that it was served by Zhu Hongyu, Runye didn't think it would be meaty, so he found a seat in the corridor, scooped a rice ball, and slowly put it in his mouth.
Vermilion stood beside him, waiting to put the bowl away.
"Sit down."
As he spoke, Runye moved to the side. Zhu Hongyu hurriedly waved her hand.
"Come on, you'll be squeezed to the ground again for a while."
Runye smiled bitterly, he deserved to live or die by himself.
Runye ate another rice ball, sighed: "Among the many sweets, I love to eat osmanthus wine stuffed balls, four years ago there was a merchant from Suzhou who came here, and stayed in our temple for half a month. The guest was gentle and sweet, and he also cooked, and made a sweet dish that I had never tasted before, called Osmanthus Wine Stuffed Balls. ”
Zhu Hongyu was silent, and seeing that Runye didn't eat, he took his bowl and spoon and drank a sip of hot soup.
"You, a Taoist priest, originally liked the first-class wealth and prosperity in the world. But I like the lonely smoke of the desert in the Western Regions, guarding an oasis, guarding the border and listening to the golden trombone, the beacon fire and wolf smoke, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”
Hearing Zhu Hongyu say this, Runye turned his head to the side and said, "We...... Let's take a look. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought that in her own home, there were outsiders after all. It was true that there would be a lot of words, so he took the bowl and turned away
, and did not answer Runye's words.
Seeing that Zhu Hongyu was reluctant to answer, Runye hurriedly covered up her embarrassment with a few laughs.
"Then I'll take care of the rest."
So saying, he went to the altar, knelt down and began to recite the scriptures.
Zhu Hongyu heard his holy and immaculate voice again.
Runye, it's too far away to imagine the future now, first of all, we have to get out of this terrible village.
Zhu Hongyu took an empty bowl, walked to the middle hall, and saw that Ergou and Chang Pingchuan were still eating, is this a pig?
"Chang Pingchuan, Ergou, you go out with me, let's invite a few VIPs over."
The two put down their chopsticks, lit the lantern, and followed the vermilion jade violently, almost passing through the entire Peach Blossom Village.
Walking to the door of the Liu family, Zhu Hongyu looked around and found that their home was even more broken.
"Pingchuan, go up and knock on the door."
Chang Pingchuan is a martial artist, usually knocking on the door is aggressive, but this big night is even more powerful, knocking on the door of the Liu family with full skill.
After a while, Zhu Yincian hurriedly opened the door, and saw Chang Pingchuan's extraordinary momentum and strong body. He almost knelt down.
"This military master, you have this big night. Do you want to spend the night? ”
Zhu Hongyu stepped forward, her eyes were no longer angry, but with full sarcasm, she saw Zhu Yincia cowering so much, her heart was very comfortable.
"Uncle, don't come unharmed."
Zhu Yincian saw that it was Zhu Hongyu, and immediately knelt down. This move surprised Zhu Hongyu.
She has no intention of being angry with her uncle, but the Liu family and the Ma family are indeed wicked people.
There is a head for injustice, and there is a master for debts, Zhu Hongyu has always believed in this article.
"Uncle, what are you doing, hurry up."
Zhu Hongyu frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.
I saw Zhu Jincicada kowtowing like pounding garlic, and smashed to the ground all at once.
There were about a dozen heads kowtowed, and Zhu Yincia was crooked to the side, only to see a scarlet blood stain on his forehead, which made people tremble when they looked at it.
"Nizi, your grandmother can't do it, and neither can your aunt. Do you see how good it is? ”
Zhu Hongyu's brows furrowed, and she hurriedly rushed the door in. As a doctor, this was her knee-jerk reaction.
Inside the house, it stinks. I saw Liu and Ma lying on the bed, and the source of the smell was their pants.
It was stained with watery stool, no, it was rice porridge-like feces.
Zhu Hongyu remembered that the migrant workers told her a few days ago that there are many people with diarrhea in the city now.
Could it be Peach Blossom Village?
Zhu Hongyu shuddered,! The second plague won't start, what kind of luck is she!
How can the heroine of someone else's family cross, even if the situation is very bad at the beginning, but it will definitely get better later.
As soon as she came to this place, she was not only devastated, but also had overcome malaria, and now there was another plague.
Zhu Hongyu was reluctant to look at these two people more.
But what kind of virus is this plague?
It's better to show these two people, so that you can be prepared later. No matter how they protect Peach Blossom Village, their home will be safe.
Zhu Hongyu glanced at Liu first, obviously running out of breath, and Ma's condition was relatively mild.
She stepped forward to look at her face and then check her pulse.
When Ma saw that it was Zhu Hongyu, he thought that he was dazzled, so he only turned his head to the side. I don't even have the strength to say a word.
Zhu Hongyu looked at it for a long time, not sure what kind of disease it was.
It seems to be dysentery, but how can dysentery spread on a large scale?
It's over, there is no modern laboratory equipment, and she has no idea what this disease is.
Zhu Hongyu couldn't think of a reason, so she hurriedly fetched a basin of water in the kitchen, let Chang Pingchuan pour it from top to bottom, and squatted in the yard to wash her hands, and rubbed her hands with soap horns without hesitation.
At this time, Zhu Yincian walked over, and Zhu Hongyu asked, "When did these two start to get sick?" How are you alright? ”
"Just these few days, a few days ago, she told me that she and her mother drank raw water, and they began to have diarrhea at night."
Zhu Hongyu frowned and said, "Why didn't you drink raw water?" ”
"Since I was a child, I vomited when I drank raw water, and I could only boil water to drink."
Zhu Hongyu said in his heart, sure enough, a good person has a good reward, and he doesn't know how many times he saved his life if he drinks raw water and vomits.
After washing her hands, Zhu Hongyu looked at the flowing water in the basin and thought thoughtfully. As I washed and washed, I felt more and more that something was wrong.
Could it be ......
It seems like it's really ......
Waterborne diseases......
Diseases of several pandemics in Europe......
Cholera.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu suddenly withdrew her hand from the water.
She stood up and got up to leave, but was pulled by Zhu Jincian all of a sudden.
"Child, please, everything before was the fault of our family, please, help us."
Zhu Hongyu admitted that she came to stir up trouble, and she was by no means really charitable.
But this is a great plague, she did not save this family, and the two men died and were buried in a mass grave, which was near the river.
Inevitably, somewhere will become a backwaterhole.
People drink water and diarrhea, feces spread cholera bacillus, these patients go wherever they go, it will be a huge disaster, not only Yunmeng Town, but even the whole country......
"To put it mildly, I looked at Liu's just now, and it was almost cold, and Ma was still a little conscious. If I come to my rescue, promise me two things. ”
"Nizi, I'll promise you whatever you say." Zhu Jincian couldn't cry anymore.
Zhu Hongyu looked at the room, lifeless, and her heart tightened.
"One, I will bring Runye over to see a doctor and take medicine together. But these two people in your family are terminally ill, and it doesn't matter if they can't be saved. You shall not repeat the incident. Both, if they die of illness, you must cremate them on the spot. Is it okay to take them through the used clothes? ”
At this time, Zhu Jinchan only thought about saving people, and as for the destruction of corpses, he categorically did not want it to happen.
"Ergou, you go home quickly, wait for Runye to finish, and let him bring aconite soup."
"Uncle, you quickly boil a lot of boiling water, wash dishes, wash clothes, and disinfect everything that is in the mouth. What these two excreted after diarrhea should be fixed in one place, and should not be dumped near the source of the ditch. ”
"Chang Pingchuan, you quickly inform Zhao Lizheng and ask him to send someone to count who has diarrhea in the village now, and take someone to check whether the upstream water source is polluted. If you ask about the reason, you will say that the plague god is coming. ”
Several people scattered, but Zhu Hongyu sat in the courtyard.
She is not a virgin, and she cannot do anything to treat her enemies. All she wants now is the safety of her family.
