Chapter 113: Convergence

When the group saw Zhaojia Village at dawn, Han Mu's eyes lit up, looked at the cooking smoke burning in front of him, and walked quickly towards the village with his feet raised.

The smiling face paused when he saw the entrance of the village that was blocked by branches and stones, and there was a sign erected on it, and when he got closer, he saw that there were four words written on it with black charcoal, "There is a plague ahead".

Han Mu felt his entire heart empty, plague? How can there be a plague here?

He quickly stepped forward, stood in front of the wooden sign and looked at it for a while, picked up the branches and was about to go in, Changgui also saw the wooden card, his face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Han Mu, "County Jun, you can't go in!" ”

Han Mu's chest rose and fell sharply, he looked back at Chen Jian suddenly, and saw him smiling at him, the string in Han Mu's brain was broken, he rushed forward, snatched the person from the hands of the two soldiers, and grabbed his neck.

Chen Jian suddenly had difficulty breathing, his eyeballs bulged, and his two hands pulled Han Mu's palm hard.

Han Mu's hand firmly pinched his neck like an iron palm, and his eyes were red and stared at his eyes, "Plague, did you do it?" ”

Chen Jian opened his mouth, he could only make a "ho-ho" sound, and Han Mu didn't need his answer, his fingers tightened, looking at him with a cold and ruthless gaze, like looking at a dead person.

The officials and soldiers all looked at Han Mu in fear and anxiety, and finally Changgui stepped forward and said eagerly: "County Jun, he, he can't die yet......"

At this time, Chen Jian's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything, he just stared at Han Mu unconsciously, his mind was blank, and he felt that the sky was gray today......

Han Mu didn't really strangle the person to death, and as soon as he threw the person to the ground, he walked to the wooden sign and stopped, looking at the village not far away with a gloomy face.

Seeing that Han Mu still wanted to go in, Changgui couldn't help gritting his teeth, and stepped forward and said, "County Jun, let's let the little one go in to find out the news, it's too dangerous inside, you can't have an accident." ”

Han Mu glanced at him and said, "You are stupid, you want to know the news inside, why do you have to go in?" Wouldn't it be okay to call out the people inside? ”

Changgui: Who was the person who made the gesture of rushing in?

Changgui squeezed out a smile and said that Han Mu's idea was excellent.

So a group of officials and soldiers lined up in two rows and shouted in the direction of the village, "Madam, the county order has arrived......"

The voice was sparse, chaotic and disorderly, and Han Mu frowned when he heard it.

Changgui immediately stopped them and stood up to command them, "I said one, two, three, everyone shouted together, don't make a mistake." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and commanded: "One, two, three, get up!" ”

"Madam, the county order has arrivedβ€”"

As soon as they heard it, their confidence was immediately lifted, and they continued to follow Changgui's command, and the steps became more and more uniform, and the sound became louder and louder, until it resounded in the sky.

In order to prevent outsiders from entering the epidemic area by mistake, Gu Junruo asked people to set up two more checkpoints outside the entrance of the village, if a person has to enter the village after crossing three checkpoints in a row, it is not a fatal thing, it is the destiny of heaven.

Now the whole village is busy, more and more people are sick, and even the five-year-old doll has to cut wormwood, and there is really no manpower to guard the entrance of the village, so it can only be so.

Gu Junruo's mouth and nose were wrapped in two layers of handkerchief and linen, only a pair of eyes were exposed, she tried the temperature of the decoction, lifted up a patient who was semi-unconscious and could no longer drink the medicine on her own, pried open her mouth and fed the medicine in.

After feeding, she put the bowls in the basin, and when she turned back the bowls had to be boiled in boiling water before use, she took another bowl of medicine, and was about to feed the other person, when she faintly heard a call.

She shook her hand, frowned and looked in the direction of the entrance of the village, but she couldn't hear it again, she thought it was caused by not sleeping well last night, so she continued to feed the patient.

Halfway through feeding, that call reappeared, and it became clearer and clearer.

Xiaochan also heard it, and shouted excitedly: "Madam, it seems that the county gentleman has arrived." ”

Her face was also covered in a veil and linen, and her voice was muffled.

The surrounding villagers also heard it and became excited, "I heard it too, it seems that the county order has arrived." ”

Gu Junruo comforted everyone, swept his eyes, and saw that everyone was dirty, and they were not empty, so he said to Xiaochan: "You go to find the lieutenant chief, let's go and have a look." ”

Xiaochan should go down.

Gu Junruo said: "Take off your coat, smoke it again, don't bring the epidemic out." ”

Xiaochan promised.

Gu Junruo finished feeding the medicine in his hand and handed over the remaining patients to the others, and then got up to change his clothes.

She carefully changed her coat, folded it and set it aside, and then stepped back and forth on the moxa smoke several times as she walked out of the area, although she couldn't choke on it.

She also washed her hands with boiled wormwood water before going outside.

All the villagers, all who were not sick, covered their mouths and noses with sackcloth, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

She didn't know if it would really keep the epidemic out, but she would try at the slightest possibility, and say eight points so that someone would be willing to comply.

The village is too far away from the county seat, and it is true that it cannot replenish the materials for a while, but it is also beneficial, because it is far away from the county seat, so it is customary to buy more and hoard more at one time, so there are many things that can be used in the village.

In addition, the women in the village will spin cloth, coarse linen and fine linen are available in every household, and some families also raise silkworms, and there are silkworms, and after the flood, they have woven mulberry hemp into cloth in order to make money to buy food.

At Gu Junruo's request, they took out the linen cloth at home, scalded it with boiling water and dried it, and then wrapped it around their mouth and nose with a layer of fine linen and a layer of coarse linen.

In fact, they don't want to use fine linen, they think that a layer of coarse linen is enough, and fine linen can be exchanged for a lot of money.

But Gu Junruo had a tough attitude, saying that if she didn't do what she did, the medicinal materials of the county government would arrive, and those who didn't follow the rules would not be able to receive the medicine.

They can only listen.

At this time, there were people in the village who counted one, and as long as they could stand up and walk, their faces were covered with sackcloth.

So, a group of people who were still shouting at the entrance of the village saw a group of masked ...... The man walked towards them, his pace was fast and menacing.

The officials and soldiers were startled, and couldn't help but clench the knife in their hands, this can't be a den of thieves, right?

Thinking of this, everyone took half a step back in unison.

Han Mu was poking Chen Jian with a wooden stick, thinking about how to pry his mouth open, and when he saw someone coming, he dropped the wooden stick and jumped up, ran to the wooden sign and waved inside: "Jun Ruo!" ”

Everyone looked inside, and then they saw Gu Junruo, who was blocked by the figure of the villagers.

Changgui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, stopped shouting, and immediately rushed up to greet inside, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Han Mu disliked them for arguing, turned his head and glared at them, asked them to step back, and then looked at Gu Junruo.

Zhao Lizheng and the others, who were walking in front of Gu Junruo, had tears in their eyes, and the excitement on their faces could be seen through the linen.

They ran towards Han Mu, who was also excited, and was about to hold Han Mu's outstretched hand, when they thought of something, they immediately retracted their hands and answered everyone's questions, "We're fine, we're fine, but the villagers are in trouble, ask the county gentleman to save Zhaojia Village." ”
