Chapter 120: Exploration

"Head, there is Niutou Village in front."

Liu Zizai led the way in front and turned around and said.

He is worthy of being an old oilman who has been catching fast for many years, and he is very familiar with the terrain near Cangqing City.

Xu Rong bowed slightly: "I hope there is nothing wrong with this trip." ”

He turned around, looked at the two doctors in the team who were over half a hundred years old, and said very politely: "There are two doctors in this trip." ”

"Xu Zhutou is polite, if it is really a plague, it can be controlled as soon as possible, it will be a great thing for Cangqing City, and the merit is immeasurable, this is also what we should do as healers."

It was one of the older men with a goatee who spoke.

Although he is over half a hundred years old, he is in good spirits and his body is very healthy.

This doctor surnamed Xie has good medical skills, and he is also a well-known doctor in Cangqing City.

The other doctor didn't speak, but there was a look of unease on his face.

He didn't come voluntarily, but because of Xu Rong's prestige, he didn't dare to refuse.

Those of them who opened a medical center, if the yamen arrested them and deliberately targeted them, it is estimated that they will have to close their doors soon.

Therefore, even if they were afraid that the plague would infect themselves, they had to follow it.

Xu Rong didn't care about this, and it was normal to be afraid of the plague.

In a world of such an ancient background, once there is a plague, too many people will die.

It's almost a change of color that people talk about, and there are few people who are not afraid.

But because of this, Xu Rong had to determine whether the plague was real or not, and take countermeasures in time, otherwise it would be too late when the plague spread.

His strength is good, but he is not strong against the plague.

Not far from the village, the group saw seven or eight young men under the leadership of a middle-aged man, staring at the location of the entrance of Niutou Village.

Liu Zizai identified this group of people, and hurriedly said: "Head, that person is the village chief of Maple Leaf Village, I have met with him a few times, and he reported the plague before. ”

Xu Rong also looked at this group of people when he heard this.

The previous plague was reported to the other catchers, who reported it to him, and he had not seen this man.

It seemed that he sensed the arrival of Xu Rong and the others, and the village chief of this Maple Leaf Village hurriedly led people to the front.

"I've seen you."

The village chief of this Maple Leaf Village is tall, but he has a slight hunch on his back, and he saluted when he saw Xu Rong.

Xu Rong nodded lightly: "No need to be polite, what are you doing here?" ”

In the face of Xu Rong's inquiry, the village chief of Maple Leaf Village did not despise Xu Rong in the slightest because of his young face.

What happened in Cangqing City, even he had heard about it.

"Lord Hui, didn't you say you wanted to keep it a secret? So the villain took the young people of the village and stared at the entrance of this Niutou Village to see how many people left the village, whether anyone would run away and so on. ”

"It's winter now, and there are a lot less places to work in the field, so it's generally fine, and the villagers are staying at home, and if they move less, they can eat less and save some food, so it's convenient to keep an eye on."

When Xu Rong heard this, he glanced at the village chief of Maple Leaf Village rather unexpectedly.

He didn't know if the village chief of Maple Leaf Village was really clever and wanted to help him prevent the spread of the plague, or if this person was very desperate to put this Niutou Village to death.

"If you have a heart, let's go in and have a look."

"Nope."

The village chief of Maple Leaf Village hurriedly waved his hand, "My lord, the people of Niutou Village have always been at odds with us, and if we enter the village, it will bring trouble to the adults." ”

He knew that there might be a plague in Niutou Village, how could he still bring people into the village, he didn't want to die?

Although he also wanted to use this to show off his might in Niutou Village, after all, his own life was important.

Xu Rong didn't force it when he heard this: "Then it's hard for you to make a trip, if your report is true, there will be another reward for returning to the yamen." ”

The village chief of Maple Leaf Village suddenly felt happy in his heart, with a happy smile on his face: "Thank you, sir." ”

Xu Rong nodded, and led the others into Niutou Village.

As soon as he entered the village, Xu Rong's keen ears faintly heard the sound of coughing.

And it's not just a cough.

Someone in the village also discovered the arrival of Xu Rong and others, Xu Rong glanced at Liu Zizai, and Liu Zizai immediately understood.

Liu Zizai hurriedly went to the villagers, first introduced the identities of himself and others, and then asked them to notify the village chief to come.

In fact, judging from the dress of Xu Rong and the others, the villagers already knew their approximate identities, and at this time, after Liu Zizai said this, he hurriedly went to inform the village chief.

It didn't take long for the village chief of Niutou Village to come running over covered in sweat.

From his panting appearance, you can also see how eager he is.

Xu Rong asked with a pale face, "You are the village chief of Niutou Village?" ”

What you have to do next may cause the villagers to revolt, so you must not have a good face at first, otherwise the other party will feel much less afraid.

Niu Qi nodded again and again, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"My lord, the villain is Niu Qi, the head of Niutou Village, I don't know if the adults came to the village, is there something going on?"

Niu Qi had also heard of Xu Rong's name, and such a big man came to the village in person, which really worried him.

He didn't know if it was someone in the village who had committed some big crime, which provoked this master to come to search in person.

Xu Rong said unhurriedly: "Someone reported to me that many people in your village are suspected to be infected with the plague, and this matter is very important, so I will go to it myself." ”

Hearing this, Niu Qi's face changed greatly, but he knew the severity of the plague, once it was involved with the plague, it would not be a good thing.

"My lord, this thing must be fake, I know, is it framed by those bastards in Maple Leaf Village? I'll just say that these people have been sneaking around our village for the past two days, and they must be uneasy and kind. ”

Xu Rong was not surprised by Niu Qi's reaction, but said coldly: "Yes or no, wait for the doctor I brought to take a look." ”

"Now you go and call all the villagers in the village to gather for me, the two doctors will check one by one, if there is no problem, it is a false alarm, if there is something, it can be prevented as soon as possible."

Niu Qi showed a look of hesitation on his face, there were indeed some people in the village who were infected with wind and cold and kept coughing recently, and he didn't take it seriously before.

It's just that when I heard Xu Rong say this at this time, I couldn't help but worry, if it was really a plague, then their village would be finished.

Seeing that Niu Qi didn't move, Xu Rong snorted coldly, like a thunderbolt, which made Niu Qi tremble all over his body and react immediately.

"Yes, sir!"
