Chapter 12: Leaving the Village

"Not really, that's scary. Someone saw Dr. Liu and his son arguing! After that, Dr. Liu and the seven men were killed. ”

Ying Qiu said: "Then this Liu Jiancheng is really inferior to a beast." ”

I still don't want to agree: "There is no blood on his body, and he has not seen it with his own eyes, and his speech is inconsistent, has no one thought that there may be some clues in this?"

Someone whispered, "But he admitted it himself." ”

I said lightly, "This brings us to the second question I just asked. ”

Liu Jiancheng suddenly struggled and shouted: "I killed the person! Just kill me! What are you going to do!"

I turned my head to look at him, a little sad in my heart, his face was full of anger and even a little pain, but he was so desperate to let others kill him, but it seemed too suspicious.

I asked, "You didn't burn the corpses because you wanted to destroy them, but because you didn't want the epidemic to continue to spread out, am I right?"

Liu Jiancheng was stunned and did not speak.

The old village chief stepped forward, and his back looked even more serious. Puzzled, he asked, "Is he really not a murderer?"

I looked at Liu Jiancheng, and from the time I met him, I had already found out that he was also infected with the epidemic, so my previous assumption made more sense. I said to him, "I can help you, are you willing to tell the truth to these villagers?"

Liu Jiancheng didn't care, he still gritted his teeth, and finally only threw down a sentence and said, "I don't have anything to say." ”

I had no choice but to reply, "If you don't want to say it yourself, then I'll say it." ”

Liu Jiancheng suddenly glared at me angrily, looking anxious, and shouted, "You can't say it!"

I ignored him and said to the crowd: "First of all, I want to tell you one thing, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Dr. Liu should not have cured the epidemic. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and I continued: "There is one more thing, I am also a doctor, and I can cure this epidemic. As for why I told you this, it's because someone between us is infected now," I walked up to Liu Jiancheng and said, "And this person is him." ”

The crowd was like a thunderbolt, and began to be afraid and afraid, the villagers began to retreat, I couldn't help frowning, at this time, Ying Sheng saw this, and hurriedly came out to stabilize the crowd for me, and a man next to the village chief also began to comfort everyone: "Everyone calm down, calm down! Don't worry! Things are like this! Everyone let him finish his words first." ”

"What the hell is going on, Liu Jiancheng, you say!" the old village chief knocked his cane on the ground a few times, gritted his teeth, and said.

Liu Jiancheng held back for a long time with red eyes, and actually cried.

In fact, these patients were all killed by Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu has been a doctor all his life, and he is benevolent. He did his best to take care of these patients for a month or two, originally to cure their diseases, and Liu Jiancheng has been helping him at the same time. It's just that Dr. Liu tried his best, but he couldn't cure the epidemic, and he was also infected. It wasn't until later, when the infection became more and more serious, that Dr. Liu felt that he could not save them in his lifetime, so he made up his mind and insisted on killing them to prevent the epidemic from spreading. Dr. Liu drugged and killed all the patients during the day, and was discovered by Liu Jiancheng, who felt that he should not do this, so he quarreled with his father, and all this happened to be seen by the villagers. Although he felt that his father had done something wrong, Liu Jiancheng still felt sorry for his father, and decided to surrender to the villagers on behalf of his father the next day and take the crime. Unbeknownst to him, Dr. Liu committed suicide by poisoning himself that night, leaving a letter asking Liu Jiancheng to burn all the corpses and make his murder public. But what Dr. Liu didn't expect was that his son felt sorry for him and his father saved people all his life, and he was unwilling to let his father bear the charge of murder, so he fought all the crimes for him. And Liu Jiancheng himself has been infected, and he can only prevent the spread of the epidemic by dying with his body.

.....

When I was sleeping at night, Shadow Autumn sneaked into my residence and said to me, "Hanqing, you are so smart that you can see so many things. "Also, you are so good at healing, and you are so powerful?" I laughed, "It's not that I'm smart about this thing, it's just that this thing is too deliberate." If it's too unnatural, it's not logical. Besides, I thought that even if I knew how to heal, I wouldn't have to talk about it everywhere, would I?"

The truth of the matter was revealed, but my feelings were very complicated.

When I treated Liu Jiancheng for the epidemic that day, he still felt that he was guilty and unworthy to live in the world. I couldn't find the right words to comfort him, and I could only say that you are alive to make amends. All in all, he was not at fault in the whole incident, but was Dr. Liu at fault? I can't say. A doctor who saves people all his life will make such a decision, and I don't know what kind of suffering I have experienced.

Before leaving, Liu Jiancheng said to me with a worried face that in fact, the patients he took care of at that time were not seven, but eight. He was afraid that the villagers would panic, so he didn't dare to say anything. One of them secretly walked away before Dr. Liu was ready to poison them. Now that the man is missing, he fears that the epidemic will spread.

I smiled faintly, a little bitter on my face, and asked, "Your village, the name is called Liujia Village, right?" He asked me suspiciously, "How do you know?"

There are several loquat trees next to the hut, which are ripe at this time of year, and fresh fruit hangs from the branches. The moonlight casts on the loquat tree and falls on the shadow, and the wind blows the loquat tree, and the loquat tree shakes, and the shadow shakes with it.

I whispered, "It's okay, I met him on the road, and his illness has been cured by me, so you don't have to worry." ”

It's a pity that the person I cured didn't tell me the truth in the first place, and I could have avoided this tragedy with a chance.

.....

The three of us only slept in Liujia Village for one night and left the next day. Hearing that we were leaving, Liu Jiancheng folded a small basket of golden loquat for us to take away, Yingqiu ate very happily, and handed me a bunch, saying that it was very sweet. I saw that Ying Sheng, who was walking last, left a small piece of silver taels on the wooden table in Liu Jiancheng's house, so I didn't refuse.

Half a day's walk will take you to the next town, where there is a wharf and a waterway that leads directly to Bianzhou. Ying Qiu suddenly came up mysteriously, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Hanqing, what kind of medicine did you give to that villager, this epidemic, the doctor in their village has not been cured for two months, why did you just use it for a while to show him?"
