Chapter 64: These Boys
The two of them ate something indiscriminately and then sat back and waited for the rain to stop.
But at this moment, there was a cacophony outside, with stern reprimands, sad cries and begs for mercy, and some indignation.
"It's raining so hard, who is making noise outside!" Long Xiaojiu and Zhang Xueying looked at each other.
Long Xiaojiu opened the door and poked his head out, only to see a messy footsteps coming from the center of the town.
When those people slowly approached, Long Xiaojiu found that it was a group of soldiers pushing several carts, which seemed to be loaded with corpses, and they were covered with straw mats.
The soldiers, all heavily armed, scolded the plainly dressed men who followed them.
"What the hell is going on?"
Long Xiaojiu and Zhang Xueying walked under the eaves and looked towards the town.
The group was followed by men who looked like doctors with black umbrellas and white lab coats.
"Do you know those people in the back?" Long Xiaojiu asked Zhang Xueying, pointing to those who were holding umbrellas with indifferent expressions.
Zhang Xueying pointed to one of the young men with gold-rimmed eyes and said, "That person is Lu Shangwen, the nephew of Executive Vice Mayor Lu Boling. ”
"Is that him?" Long Xiaojiu's brows furrowed.
At the same time, the gang approached, and after listening to some broken words, Long Xiaojiu realized that the big flatbed truck was loaded with people who had died of the plague, and now they had to retreat to the temporary incineration site to burn it, so as to prevent the plague from spreading.
And those who followed the soldiers were the townspeople of Pingnan Town, as well as the families of the deceased, one of whom was an old lady over half a hundred years old, covered in mud and water, and kept praying, saying that her son was not dead, that he had only been infected with the plague for three days, and begged the soldiers to save her son.
But the soldiers were unmoved, and still moved forward firmly.
No wonder when they first entered the town, Long Xiaojiu and Zhang Xueying asked A fishy smell mixed with the smell of burnt meat, it turned out that it was all dead.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xueying was nauseated.
"What should we do?" Zhang Xueying looked at Long Xiaojiu anxiously.
Long Xiaojiu touched the tip of his nose and walked out against the rain, "Wait a minute!"
The two of them blocked the group's progress in the rain, and everyone looked at each other.
At this time, a resolute-faced officer walked up to the front and scolded: "Who are you, why don't you stay at home during the spread of the plague?"
Long Xiaojiu ignored the officer and only said, "The family said that the patient was not dead, why did you drag the person out to burn him? Have you already checked it out?"
The officer frowned, "These people have all been identified by the provincial effort and the experts in the city, and they can't survive." ”
Long Xiaojiu smiled disdainfully, "Yes? If you can't live, you will burn people alive, what is the difference between you and murderers? Is the government raising you just to make you careless of people's lives?"
"This ......" The officer's expression was very entangled, which showed that this person was just following the orders of the superiors, and it was probably a last resort to do the facts.
The officer looked behind in embarrassment, and the experts in white coats walked up to Long Xiaojiu and the others under the leadership of Lu Shangwen, and it seemed that Lu Shangwen also recognized Zhang Xueying.
Lu Shangwen frowned, looked at Zhang Xueying and said with an arrogant face: "Secretary General Zhang, why are you here? Who is he?" Lu Shangwen pointed at Long Xiaojiu, and that expression and attitude made Long Xiaojiu feel very uncomfortable.
Zhang Xueying smiled and said, "Dean Lu, this is Long Xiaojiu, a famous doctor in Jinzhou City, who came this time to assist the expert team to solve the plague together. ”
Lu Shangwen looked at Long Xiaojiu with disdain, and sneered: "The famous doctor in Jinzhou City, why haven't I heard of it, I don't know where to find a charlatan who swaggers and deceives." ”
"Dean Lu, please pay attention to what you say!" Zhang Xueying immediately turned stunned and glared at Lu Shangwen fiercely.
Long Xiaojiu hurriedly stopped Zhang Xueying, he looked at Lu Shangwen with a smile, and said, "Dean Lu is really young and promising!" ”
Lu Shangwen turned his head arrogantly and said to the officer: "Captain Yao, hurry up and dispose of these corpses, and then blow these townspeople away, don't get in the way!"
The officer is a person from the Southwest Military Region, named Yao Qingyun, with the rank of captain.
"Yes!" Captain Yao nodded respectfully.
At this time, the old lady was stopped by the soldiers, and she knelt on the ground and prayed to Long Xiaojiu and the others to save his son, and the rest of the townspeople also knelt down together.
"Doctor, my son is not dead, my son is not dead!" cried out to the heart.
Looking at these ragged and muddy townspeople, the corners of Long Xiaojiu's eyes twitched a few times.
"Wait!" Long Xiaojiu said to Lu Shangwen: "Dean Lu, I think the government sent you not to let you show off your might in front of the people, but to solve the plague!"
Lu Shangwen was furious, pointed at Long Xiaojiu and scolded: "You presumptuous Long Xiaojiu, what kind of thing do you dare to speak wild words in front of me, Captain Yao, arrest him for me!"
"What are you doing, why are you arresting people!" Zhang Xueying hurriedly protected Long Xiaojiu.
But Yao Qingyun didn't move.
"What's wrong?" Another young man with triangular eyes, who had not spoken all this time, walked to the front with a few people.
As soon as Lu Shangwen saw the man, he smiled respectfully and said: "Section Chief Xue, look at these people who actually stopped people from being incinerated, you said that if something happens, who will bear this responsibility?"
"Captain Yao, why don't you hurry up and take people away for me!" Lu Shangwen scolded the officer.
Section Chief Xue is naturally Xue Kaixuan of the Provincial Center for Disease Control, and Lao Tzu is the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Health, and he is also here to gild this time.
Xue Kaixuan waved his hand, looked at Long Xiaojiu again, and frowned, "You are from Jinzhou City?"
Long Xiaojiu nodded, "I was entrusted by Mayor Gao to assist the expert team in overcoming the plague as soon as possible. ”
"I am Xue Kaixuan from the Provincial Center for Disease Control, and I am responsible for everything here, and these people must be pulled and incinerated, otherwise it will easily cause the spread of the epidemic. Xue Kaixuan pointed to the corpse on the flatbed truck and said flatly, but he was not as arrogant as Lu Shangwen.
"But didn't you hear someone over there calling someone alive?" Long Xiaojiu was a little angry, although this Xue Kaixuan was not so domineering, but his attitude towards himself was also as bland as water.
Long Xiaojiu glared at Xue Kaixuan fiercely, walked straight over and lifted the straw mat, and suddenly a foul smell rushed towards him.
Long Xiaojiu covered his nose and saw three corpses lying in the car, the surface of the corpses had festered, pus and blood flowed everywhere, unrecognizable, and very disgusting.
The two old men had lost their breath, but although one of the young men had a large area of ulcers on his body, Long Xiaojiu grabbed his hand and found that his pulse was beating very strongly.
"This one is still alive!" Long Xiaojiu shouted happily.
