Twenty-nine: Braised chicken
-------------------------------------
"That'...... So I decided, and I went to inform the villagers. Liu Lizheng pondered for a while and said weakly, got up and walked in the direction where the villagers had gathered.
"It is estimated that there will be a wave of people complaining, the previous screening has consumed everyone's strength, and if you force it on the road, I am afraid that someone will make trouble." Liu Qiao'er looked at the villagers who were resting uneasily.
Xu Xiaoxiao also took this into account, the situation was too serious, except for a few of them who knew that there was a plague, they did not fully inform the villagers, but only briefly explained a few words to the few people in charge of assisting,
As they thought, the villagers began to complain, especially families with children were even more reluctant to leave, and Aunt Li and Li Zheng had to explain from door to door, the explanation was nothing more than that there was not much food, the refugees were too concentrated, and it was easy to cause the plague, and if they arrived in the town early, they could rest for a few more days before traveling.
Duoduo and Liu Qiao'er returned to the donkey cart, Liu Dahua was busy spraying alcohol around, and Tie Zhu and Chu Chu sat on the car and watched the villagers walk back and forth.
"Grandma Liu, bring your mask, don't walk around, and get ready to start rushing to Anle Town." Xu Xiaoxiao came to the back of the donkey cart and pulled the bags on the donkey cart and said.
There was a hemp rope in her hand, but her eyes were staring at the rickety back of Li Zheng not far away, as well as the busy figure of Aunt Li, her ears were soft, and she still couldn't help but want to help Li Zheng.
She paid attention to the movements of the people around her while pulling the hemp rope, and took out a large bag of masks from the space through the cover of her bag, which was made of cotton cloth, which was more in line with this dynasty.
She took the mask to Liu Dahua, "Grandma Liu, you give this to Lizheng, just say that you made it, so everyone must bring it to avoid infection." ”
Liu Dahua looked at the mask wrapped in linen and looked puzzled, she didn't make this mask, but she knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had always been very capable, maybe it was brought out from home before, so she didn't ask in detail.
"Okay." Liu Dahua nodded and walked in the direction of Lizheng.
Li Zheng was trying to persuade the people who were about to take off the salute, but no matter what he said, the stubborn villagers ignored it, and did their own things without raising their eyelids.
Liu Dahua walked to Li Zheng with the package, "Old Liu, are you busy?" ”
Li Zheng saw that Liu Dahua was coming, his tightly locked brows relaxed, and he sighed, "Yes, what's wrong sister?" ”
"This is a mask that Xiaoxiao asked me to make, let me give it to you and distribute it to everyone, and I told everyone to wear it well to avoid infection."
Before, Liu Dahua didn't understand the meaning of Xu Xiaoxiao asking her to come over, but when she approached and heard Li Zheng persuading the villagers in a hoarse voice, her heart began to understand, she pulled her voice, like a quarrel, and said loudly.
Liu Dahu's family, who were still unloading their bags, heard Xu Xiaoxiao's instructions and heard the word infection, their hands froze halfway through, turned their heads to look at their wife Wang Cui, and the two were stunned for a while before they came to their senses, put down the package in their hands and walked to Li Zheng and Liu Dahua.
"Sister-in-law, you said that Xiaoxiao let this mask to prevent infection?" Liu Dahu rubbed his hands and bowed his body and said flatteringly.
"Yes, I said I was afraid that the refugees around me would have smallpox." Liu Dahua handed the package in his hand to Li Zheng, nodded and said with a worried expression.
"It's... Uncle I want three, and we agreed to leave immediately. Liu Dahu's face was startled when he heard smallpox, and he beckoned Wang Cui with a gloomy face to put the salute back on.
The conversation between Liu Dahua and Liu Dahu was heard by the surrounding people, and the villagers who originally relied on the stone pier to rest all got up and began to pack their bags, and no one dared to delay time.
After a period of getting along, Liu Jiacun firmly believed in Xu Xiaoxiao's judgment, especially after seeing her curing patients one after another, he was convinced that she was from a doctor's family.
Liu Dahua looked at the busy villagers and smiled at Li Zheng, Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, after all, he has also been Li Zheng for forty years, and he can't compare to a yellow-haired girl with prestige.
Only a small number of villagers unloaded their bags, and the delay of the sudden departure was not long, and the kung fu team of half a cup of tea went into action again.
Li Zheng's family and Liu Dazhuang walked in front to lead the way, Liu Dahua's family was behind, worried that there were refugees following, Xu Xiaoxiao suggested that they be at the end, mainly because their donkey cart is not convenient to delay everyone's footsteps in the middle, and they can quickly follow behind.
The time of departure was dusk, the sultry heat of the afternoon slowly dissipated, and occasionally a cool breeze began to blow, Liu Qiao'er drove the donkey cart and looked vigilantly at a pair of scarlet eyes that they had stolen.
"Hurry up, I'm afraid that these people will go crazy if we delay them any longer." Tie Zhu sat beside Xu Xiaoxiao and said worriedly.
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say ha but nodded, she couldn't know the process of smallpox attack very well, now most of the refugees have symptoms of ulceration all over the body, and it won't take long for them to go crazy and attack people randomly, but anyone who is bitten will also be infected with smallpox.
The team moved forward in an orderly manner, the more refugees around Anle Town, most of them were skinny, their eyes were sunken, and their faces were festering and bleeding, the villagers of Liujia Village couldn't bear to look at this scene, and walked forward quickly with their heads down, everyone secretly sighed that they were fortunate to listen to Xu Xiao's words and hurried ahead of time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Zheng was worried that the refugees around him would lose their minds and attack the villagers of Liujia Village, so he just took a break for tea in the middle of the road and hurriedly set off, and the villagers did not dare to stay longer when they saw the surrounding situation, and they wanted to arrive at Anle Town immediately.
The sun set in the morning, walking for a day and a night, the villagers of Liujia Village also reached the limit, some children fainted due to fatigue, Liu Li was standing on the stone pier and looking into the distance.
"Ahead is Anle Town, why don't we rest here." Liu Dazhuang looked back at the tired villagers and said worriedly.
"Okay, let's start camping and resting." Liu Lizheng walked down the stone pier, bowed his back, knocked on the ground with a cigarette pouch, and said loudly.
As soon as the villagers heard that they could rest, they immediately showed a happy smile on their faces, and began to set up a big tent in an orderly manner, each family unloaded their bags, took out the pots and bowls for eating, and walked for a day, and on the way they were eating wild vegetable cakes to fill their stomachs, men and children couldn't stand it for a long time, thinking that they could purchase food in Anle Town immediately, and some people began to take out the wild boar meat that had been allocated before and stew it indiscriminately.
Liu Dahua's family also began to make breakfast, Xu Xiaoxiao took out the pheasant that had been removed from the space under the cover of her bag, and then put soy sauce, light soy sauce, cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon, salt, green onions, ginger and garlic, green and red peppers, shiitake mushrooms, wolfberries, red dates, she has been hungry for braised chicken for a long time. And now in this special period, supplementing more nutrition is also conducive to strengthening everyone's resistance.
Liu Qiaoer, who was originally lying in the car and was bored, saw Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes in distraction with a pot of gourmet ingredients instantly brightened, and Gollum got up and got out of the donkey cart.
"Braised chicken?" Liu Qiao'er stared at the pheasant in the pot with a lahazi.
