The rainstorm is coming, and with the wind comes the smell of damp and salty earth before the rain.

As soon as Liu's words fell, bursts of muffled thunder sounded in the thick clouds.

Everyone tightened their necks and gasped. The people who were originally around Huang Guizhi all took two steps back, unconsciously isolated from Guizhi from a distance.

Li Zheng stopped, turned around, and looked at Brother Liu with a serious face: "Brother Liu, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

A plague tortured Xiuyun Village to purgatory on earth, the people of a village died, the sick and sick, only a dozen villagers were isolated, and a good village was completely destroyed.

If the plague also spread to Jingkou Village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Huang Guizhi really has the plague!" Brother Liu covered his chest and said anxiously, "My father-in-law has contracted the plague, so I know very well. At first, it was a simple cough, then it began to have a constant fever, and finally it was an abscess all over the body, and the water was yellow......"

Hearing Liu Jiedi's description, everyone silently covered their mouths and noses again, and moved farther away from Guizhi.

"I have long noticed that Guizhi has been coughing for at least seven days, and it has not been getting better. I reckon she's starting to get puscesses. ”

After Liu Jiedi finished speaking, Li Zheng's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, this matter was rather a misjudgment than let go of one.

Li Langzhong is still in Xiuyun Village, and he won't be able to come back for a while......

"Brother Liu, don't you know why Guizhi is coughing?" Jin Xiaolou has never seen such a brazen person, in order to frame others, he really made any tricks, "If it weren't for you and Liu Yuyan, who deliberately made trouble with Gui Zhi and caused her to fall into the stream, would Gui Zhi get cold and cough?" ”

Villagers, look at me, I'll look at you, Liu Jiedi's eyes widened, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Will you still rot your body if you get cold?" Now you can peel off Huang Guizhi's clothes and see if what I said is true or false! ”

Jin Shou jumped out at once, stretched out his hand and ran towards Guizhi.

"Stop!" Jin Xiaolou was so angry that his heart was about to jump out, but he shouted that his throat hurt, but he still couldn't stop Jin Shou from tearing off Huang Guizhi's clothes.

The padded garment was torn open from the collar, revealing large swaths of the shoulders and back.

On the white skin of Guizhi, there are large red and swollen ulcers, which are shocking to see.

"Ouch, that's amazing! The plague is coming! Someone shouted, and the crowd immediately dispersed, and the villagers covered their faces and ran away.

"This!" Li Zheng was also taken aback, and said angrily, "Brother Liu, such a big thing, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Liu Jiedi made a worried and frightened expression: "I, I don't want to believe that Guizhi really has the plague......"

Jin Xiaolou exerted her hands, and the hemp rope on the stake tightly strangled her wrists, almost numb in pain.

She closed her eyes suddenly, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened her eyes and said, "Lord Lizheng knows that the injuries on Guizhi's body were beaten by Jin Dacheng. ”

"Jin Xiaolou, I know that you and Gui Zhi are good, but you can't pull our whole village on the back in order to protect Gui Zhi!" Zhou Qingxia shouted, "We Dacheng beat Guizhi, how many days ago was that?" Can this also be relied upon? Because Gui Zhi has the plague alone, you want the people of our village to accompany the funeral, Jin Xiaolou, why are you so vicious! ”

Jin Xiaolou ignored Zhou Qingxia and only explained to Li Zheng: "The wound was originally going to be healed, but a few days ago I fell into the stream and became infected and suppurated, Lord Li Zheng, Gui Zhi has never left our village, how can he be infected with the plague!" ”

Li Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment, and said solemnly: "In the col next to the forest, there is a small courtyard, which is the house left by Wei Orion, and Huang Guizhi will go to live there this month." It was far from the village, and it was quiet, and if it were not for the plague, it would have been recuperated. ”

Wei Orion came to the village more than ten years ago, built a house in the mountain col, and often went into the mountains to hunt for a living.

He was withdrawn, did not like to socialize, and lived far away, so the people in the village knew little about him.

I hadn't seen this person for a long time, and the previous one was going to check on the house, and the dust in the house had accumulated a thick layer, and it was still a mystery where the person went.

However, Wei Orion's house has been empty because of this.

Li Zheng ordered to go down, and someone went to clean it with a lantern, and someone loosened Jin Xiaolou's bonds.

For a while, no one dared to approach Huang Guizhi and escorted her to the house in the mountain pass.

Jin Xiaolou knew that Li Zheng was also for the sake of the whole village and the villagers, as soon as her hands and feet were released, she hurriedly ran to Huang Guizhi, untied her coat, draped Guizhi, and covered her bare back for her.

"Lord Lizheng, I live with Guizhi every day, if Guizhi gets the plague, then I can't avoid it, for the sake of insurance, let me isolate with Guizhi."

Jin Xiaolou hung his arm, took Gui Zhi's cold hand, and held it tightly together.

Suddenly turned his face, smiled at Guizhi, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will accompany you." ”

Gui Zhi nodded, she held Lin'er in one hand and Xiaolou in the other, feeling that between heaven and earth, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of.

"Well, then, you will go together, and you will not be allowed to enter the village for a month, let alone come into contact with anyone else. Every three days, I will have people put rice and noodles at the door of the small courtyard, and when Li Langzhong returns, I will immediately diagnose and treat you. After Li Zheng finished explaining one by one, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky, "The heavy rain is coming, don't delay any longer." ”

……

Aunt Li walked far ahead with a lantern, and the mountain wind became more and more rapid, blowing the sorghum stalks piled up randomly in the fields and flying everywhere.

Wei Orion's house is located in the upper reaches of the stream, close to the mountain forest, in front of a large field of wild camellia, at this time there are some bright white flowers blooming sporadically, in a dark night, from a distance, it looks like a star falling on the earth.

Passing through the wild camellia, a small lamp lit up in front of you, dispelling the orange and yellow halo left by the darkness and the warmth of the veins.

It was left by the mother-in-law who was cleaning in front of her, and it was hung on a branch in front of the courtyard gate.

There are all kinds of flowers and plants growing in the yard, it seems that they were planted by Wei Orion before, and after so many years of no one taking care of them, they have already become a pot of porridge, growing wildly, and they are almost overshadowing the house.

The house was two mud houses with yellow walls and gray tiles, a bedroom, a stove room, and a wooden shed in the backyard, in which all kinds of rusty iron tools were piled up.

There is a small vegetable patch next to the wooden shed, which is barren and muddy, and next to it is a thatched hut fenced off.

Jin Xiaolou smiled at Guizhi: "We can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, compared to my broken thatched house, it can also be a mansion!" ”

Gui Zhi also laughed, stretched out his hand, and plucked the grass wool from Jin Xiaolou's hair little by little.

"You can live in peace, I will come to bring you rice and noodles every three days, if there is anything you want to eat, you can tell me from afar, and I will bring it to you next time." Aunt Li stood under the small lamp at the gate of the courtyard and shouted at the top of her voice.

Jin Xiaolou said crisply, and after thanking him again and again, he said, "Aunt Li, go back quickly, it's going to rain heavily." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that outside the courtyard, through the cage grass and trees, a little light gradually disappeared.

After a while, a thunderstorm fell, and the downpour rained overwhelmingly, and the entire Jingkou Village was shrouded in mist.

The cold weather always makes people sleep soundly, and this night, even Lin'er didn't get up at night, and slept until dawn.

Jin Xiaolou, who was in a pile in the nest, was woken up by a deafening knock on the door.

As soon as he heard such a rude and rude knock on the door, Jin Xiaolou knew that it must be someone he didn't welcome.

After she slowly put on her clothes and arranged her hair, she slowly opened the door.

Sure enough, it was Liu Jiedi standing outside.

She was the only one who dared to step into the courtyard door and knock on the door.

Seeing Jin Xiaolou, Brother Liu raised his eyebrows and smiled, raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Jin Xiaolou, I said that I would make you regret it, my Brother Liu is not like my sister, look forward and backward, I will do what I say!" ”

"If you kneel down and beg me now, I can think about it, and it's all my fault to go to Lizheng, Huang Guizhi didn't get the plague, and you can go back." Liu Jidi continued.

Jin Xiaolou shrugged his shoulders and said unhurriedly: "Why should we move back?" ”

She blinked, with an innocent look: "Guizhi and I have to thank you, it's big and comfortable here, and people come to deliver rice and noodles every three days, and you don't have to worry about eating, it's much more comfortable than living in a broken thatched hut next to the Jin family's pigsty!" ”
