The scholar in white will meet the strange uncle, and then the things entrusted by him will be explained in detail and clearly. If nothing else, the words serious illness and plague alone are enough to deter and deter.

The villagers were temporarily shocked, you look at me, I look at him, will be suspicious, want to stop talking and silent.

But rather than suffering, he is convinced.

About three days ago, he passed through a small remote village in Wuxian County, and the entrance of the village was guarded by local officials, and no one was allowed to pass through.

It turned out that the village was suffering from a very serious epidemic, and more than half of the people had died, and the rest were also terminally ill and incurable.

In order to prevent the spread of the disease, the government implemented a complete closure of the village.

Ning He sighed bitterly and was about to change his route, when he suddenly heard one of the officials chatting worriedly, "The day before yesterday, a patient escaped from the village and fled into the mountains of Nanxi, but no one dared to go into the mountains to chase him. It happened that a hunter was passing by, and he volunteered to let him go, but he didn't know what was going on. If this matter is not handled well, then the disaster will be great. ”

Therefore, why should he doubt the so-called "hunter", it is very likely that the doctor is useless, and at this moment, he naturally believes the words of the scholar in white.

He waited quietly, but after half a moment, a middle-aged villager raised a questioning voice, "Do we really want to wait for that person to come back?" So when will he be back? Besides, we don't even know who he is, and he seems to be crazy, so what he said must be true? ”

"Naturally, it's true!" The scholar in white looked sincere, "That uncle is warm-hearted, and he is kind enough to wait here and ask me to remind everyone, how can we doubt his kindness and sincerity?" Everyone, be patient and wait. ”

Ning He muttered bitterly, "Alas! This is a big or small matter, and the villagers have no patience to wait any longer, only hoping that the hunter uncle will come back sooner. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Heku finished muttering, the young and vigorous young man began to complain, "My little sister is sick, and my mother is still waiting for me to carry water back to cook porridge and decoction?" I can't wait! Who knows if you're idle and talking nonsense to play tricks on people? ”

"But who knows if the man he said will not come back, what if he never comes back? What are we going to do? What about this mountain spring water? ”

"Like, it sounded like a madman. Why don't we all wait? Wait for the family to be in a hurry. ”

The gossip is not entirely unreasonable. The scholar listened anxiously, but he was powerless to refute, so he rubbed his hands and explained, "How can I be bored in the next, how can I talk nonsense in the next, I haven't finished the morning class today, and the book hasn't been read, ouch!" Wait, wait! ”

"Wait, you have to wait, do as Childe says!" Xiao Wu guarded the black-faced gang at the edge of the spring.

The young man was young and vigorous, and he didn't want to say much, so he went to push Xiao Wu by the spring, and then he stood like a mountain, not moving at all.

Several other villagers also joined in, wanting to push away the rocky Xiaowu and move it away.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he shouted from the sidelines: "Don't worry, everyone, there is a way to prove that there is a problem with this spring?" ”

It turned out that Ning Hequan saw a fish basket on the waist of the middle-aged villager, so he had an idea and stopped the exit.

"How do you prove it, is it to find someone to drink two sips of water first?" The middle-aged villagers were a little panicked.

"No, never!" The scholar was horrified and strongly opposed.

"Uncle, I see that you still have a fish basket hanging around your waist, and it seems that there are still fish in the basket, is the fish still fresh?" Ning He pointed to the fish basket and chattered.

"Fresh? I put a layer of oiled paper at the bottom of this basket to store water, and the fish are still jumping around. The middle-aged man responded enthusiastically, "These are the two herring fish I just bought by the river, and I am going to cook them for my youngest son, who is seven years old today." Look at me, as soon as I got home, I forgot to understand it. ”

"It's good to be fresh, uncle, can you borrow a fish?" Rather stretch out his slender arm.

"What are you going to do with the fish?" Although the uncle was puzzled, he still untied the fish basket and handed it to Ning Heku.

"Thank you!"

Before everyone could react, Ning Heku had already gently poured the fish basket into the spring water, and the two fish in the basket swam into the deep spring with the momentum.

Uncle: "......"

The uncle was very aggrieved and puzzled, and was angry: "Why did the son let them go, I, my son......"

Ning He had a humble face, "Uncle, don't worry, where are the fish?" If you can't run, I'll get it back to you later. ”

Uncle: "?? ”

The scholar approached, looked at the herring swimming happily in the spring water, and innocently asked: "Brother Tai is afraid that they will suffocate in the fish basket after waiting for a long time, so he let them out to breathe?" ”

"Well, oh, sort of!" Rather than bother.

"This son, I don't have time to play with you, hurry up and catch the fish for me." After all, the uncle couldn't help but be angry.

"Yes, yes, you get the fish!" The boy and several others were also angry.

Seeing that the villagers were filled with righteous indignation, the scholar hurriedly stabbed Ning Ning, "Brother Tai, you should hurry up and catch the fish, right?" ”

"Okay, fish, I want to think of something! Catch it now! Ning He replied very cheerfully, and then turned around as if looking for a fisherman's belongings.

Everyone's eyes revolved around his figure.

"Oh, come and see, this fish has floated up and turned over, ah! Are they dead? Xiao Wu suddenly let out a series of exclamations......

Everyone's eyes were on Ning Heku, focusing on how he would get the fish back, but Xiao Wu was staring closely at the movement of the fish in the spring.

His timely exclamation drew everyone's attention.

"Me, how did my fish die?" The middle-aged villagers asked heart-wrenching questions.

"Brother Tai, this fish is just fine, why did it die suddenly?" The scholar was also sincerely afraid.

"By the way, the fish was fine just now, why did it suddenly ~ die?" Ning He blinked his eyes and asked rhetorically, and glanced at Xiao Wu, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

After Xiao Wu attracted everyone over, he retreated to the side lightly, as if he didn't care about the cause of the fish's death at all.

It's just that his master scholar is still thinking hard, and after a short period of thought, his eyes lit up, and suddenly he clapped his hands, almost jumped up, and shouted excitedly: "Oh! I got it, I got it! It turns out that Brother Tai is not to let the fish breathe, but to test whether there is a problem with the water, right? ”

After he said this, the others slowly came back to their senses and understood the reason.

The middle-aged villager instantly forgot about the death of the fish who felt sorry for him, and was frightened and frightened, so he carefully verified, "What does Childe mean is that there is a problem with this water, so the fish that is still alive will die?" ”

"Or else?" Rather than ask lightly.

The villagers looked at each other, dead silent, all in fear.
