The current situation is not critical, and most of them have not encountered any danger, so the city gates are still open.

They entered the city very easily.

came to the house that Sanfang bought in the county seat.

Chen and He Chun'er were naturally surprised and happy when they saw them return.

was busy preparing meals, and asked people to take a change of clothes and send the two brothers and sisters to freshen up.

When they came out, the family sat together and talked about what had happened in the past few days.

Chen had already asked He Zao what he was busy with, and the other party made up a random reason, saying that he went to talk about business and did not negotiate. was complained by Chen for a few words, and then was diverted by He Zao's questioning.

He Zao asked if anything had happened in the county in the past few days.

Even at home, Chen also knew that people outside were panicking, and sighed: "The city is not as good as our village, there are so many water sources in the back mountain, and there is no shortage of water, but in this city, there is a well dug at the door of the house, and several families eat together, and now there is a shortage of water, but there is not much water in the well. I was so scared that I had people close the door and not let anyone out, for fear of causing trouble! ”

She said, looking at He Zao: "I heard your father say that you let the livestock and donkeys be burned, do you really think that there will be a plague?" ”

She is a person who has experienced locust plagues, in this era, as long as there are natural disasters, it is bound to be accompanied by the emergence of **, turmoil, plague, are the most common one.

Chen also saw that kind of tragedy when he was a child. Therefore, I am extremely reluctant to let this kind of thing happen.

He Zao shook his head: "Where do I have such a ability, I just want to defend." She repeated those words.

Chen has always been a little soft-hearted, but this time he didn't say anything, and nodded directly: "Zhong, then let's go home early tomorrow morning, there are so many things at home, I have been in the city for a few days because I don't worry about you and your fourth brother, and the family is busy, so we have to hurry home to help." ”

He Zao nodded.

The county town is crowded and cramped, and if there is a plague, there will be no place to hide, and it is easy to be infected.

However, Lujia Village is leaning on the back mountain, and the place is vast, so there must be many ways to live.

The Chen family had already packed up their things, and they had been waiting for He Zao and Sibao to come back.

I didn't even have to pack my luggage at the moment, and I went home the next morning. There were only two people left in the city to look after the house, and all the soft things were taken away, and the valuable things were put in the cellar, and the others were brought back with them.

After returning to Lujia Village, He Laosan was also relieved, and He Zao asked about the situation in the village, and he was relieved.

Because before leaving, He had already told He Laosan that not only his own livestock was a big problem, but all the domestic animals in the village were a big problem.

There has been a phenomenon of fever and death, and it is continuous, which means that there must be a virus infecting among livestock, and people eat dead livestock, the source of infection becomes the human body, and if you don't pay attention to prevention, then the plague may really occur.

Therefore, she asked Lu Lizheng to show authority and let the villagers incinerate their chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, and the larger livestock should be isolated first, and then look at it after a while.

Like donkeys, horses, cows, etc., these large animals are a little more resistant than chickens and ducks.

It doesn't matter if it's every once in a while.

Even now, I haven't heard of anyone's cattle and donkeys having a fever.

Lu Li believed He Laosan's words, walked around the village a few times, and reached an agreement with several richest people in the village, and several families agreed to take out a few taels of silver to make up, especially He Sanfang, who took out twenty taels of silver at once, and these silver were regarded as compensation for the villagers.

Countrymen are particularly interested in small wealth, especially livestock that can save money.

The chickens and ducks that died of fever and illness were reluctant to throw them away, and they still had to be stewed and eaten up, not to mention the chickens that were alive and well.

Without additional compensation, they resolutely refused.

Several other rich families made up a total of ten taels, and He Sanfang's family took twenty taels, which is a total of thirty taels.

A little saving is enough to compensate the villagers.

Most of the people in the village are poor, but they are fed a few chickens and two pigs, and the pigs have not yet grown up, and they are all half-sized piglets, and they can't lose a few dollars.

Moreover, these compensation are not much, but they can be regarded as taking care of that part of the loss.

How shrewd a woman in the countryside is, she will break her fingers and calculate for you how much money she can earn for her family in the New Year if she doesn't kill it, how much she can earn at this time next year, and so on. Killing the livestock in their arms is tantamount to cutting off their financial route!

Therefore, after Lu Lizheng killed the thousands of chickens and ducks in He Laosan's family, and was about to kill a donkey of thousands of taels of silver, the villagers no longer asked for more money, they heard that He Sanfang was so ruthless, it must have really happened.

As a result, Lurie was able to handle the livestock fairly smoothly without making any major disturbances.

When they returned home early, there was not a single call of livestock in the village.

This has never been the case before.

The people were panicked, everyone was locked in their homes and did not want to come out, and the village was quiet.

He Zao watched He Laosan take people to kill donkey meat, marinate it in a small jar, the division of labor is clear, meticulous, and when it is pickled, someone specially seals the jar, and then puts it in the ice cellar.

The weather was too hot for the jar to sit on the ground for a few more moments.

The people he brought back from He Zao were also distributed, and they began to be busy killing donkey meat.

He had already taught He Laosan the recipe for making soup donkey meat before, thinking that if he didn't have time, he could let He Laosan take over, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

The soup stock pickled by He Laosan himself is not fake.

He Zao was a little impressed by this father in his heart, but with a faint smile on his face, he said to He Laosan that he still had to find Lu Lizheng.

She was going to the other party to warn the villagers that in the days to come, she would not run around the door, but only stay in her own home, and store enough rice and water. The village shall also be guarded, and no one shall be allowed to enter the village or go out.

Lujia Village is a small village at the foot of the mountain, not too big, that is, 200 households, and it is divided into several big surnames, and several clans live together, but it is easier to manage.

Lu Lizheng only needs to call the family members of each big surname to preach, and then these family members go back to preach to their own family, which is much easier.

The small family is completely watching the big family do things.

Each family has another strong laborer and is assigned the task of guarding.

Because before moving to a snowy day, there would be fierce beasts coming down the mountain to disturb the people, so the various prevention facilities made in the village are still complete.

Now, just rebuild those traps, fences, and whatever.
