As for Liu Haojia and the others, they urged the carriage and horses to continue to move forward, and they walked forward for more than a hundred steps before stopping, found a flat place on the side of the road and began to set up camp. The camp is very close to the outermost house in Qinghe Village, less than fifty steps.

When the camp was set up, the people went into their tents, and when they came out again, they were dressed in strange clothes and had a stick in their hands! This dress wraps people almost from head to toe, which is very strange! Even the mouth and nose are covered with a muslin cloth on the face, and only the two eyes are exposed!

What they were wearing was Liu Haojia's hastily customized protective clothing. Although it is said that it is not sealed, it will not come into direct contact with the pathogen.

This is still an urgent order in a ready-to-wear shop when he was in Beijing. Fortunately, this thing is easy to make, and it can be sewn quickly with thick needles and large threads, otherwise it can't be done in a short time.

After everyone put them on, Liu Haojia checked the straps on their chests one by one, and then said to the two people who were not wearing protective clothing: "You have worked hard today!" We need to get what we need to prepare before we come back. ”

The two housekeepers nodded in agreement, and one pulled a flat load and two buckets from the carriage and went straight to the river not far away to fetch water, while the other began to clean up the herbs and other supplies.

Then Liu Haojia led the people to turn around and walk straight to the village. Originally, Qinghe Village was also a small village, with more than 160 households in the village, nearly 1,000 people old and young, and it should be very lively. But at this time, it is like a ghost, and there is no sound of people! Even the sound of the chicken dog is not a sound!

When Liu Haojia led people to the entrance of the village, he looked back at the few people behind him. Although he couldn't see their expressions, he could read great fear in their eyes! There are even a few people whose bodies are already shaking! After all, smallpox was a terrible demon for them!

Seeing this situation, Liu Haojia looked around into their eyes and said, "I know you're scared, but don't worry!" I've made arrangements before I came this time, as long as you do what I say, you'll be fine! ”

At this point, he raised the stick in his hand and said, "Remember, don't let smallpox patients come near you!" If an emotional person approaches, use a stick against it! If you can't control it, you can knock it down directly, do you understand? ”

Everyone responded in whispers. But Liu Haojia said loudly: "I asked you if you heard clearly? Why is it so quiet? ”

Everyone subconsciously immediately shouted in unison: "I heard it!" ”

With this roar, everyone's spirit has improved a lot! Only then did Liu Haojia turn around and enter the entrance of the village. But they had not gone a few steps when they heard a sound from inside the house on the side of the road, and then someone on the courtyard wall peeked out.

As a result, as soon as they saw Liu Haojia's tightly wrapped team, their faces covered by their scattered hair immediately showed a look of surprise! He grabbed a handful of hair from his face and said loudly: "You, you, you are sent by the government?" ”

Liu Haojia turned his head to look and found that this person's beard had been mixed together, and it seemed that he knew that he hadn't taken care of it for a long time, and he couldn't tell his age at all. I know that he has had a bad time during this time. However, he still said loudly: "That's right, this official is a messenger of the imperial court, and he is here to provide disaster relief!" ”

Liu Haojia heard not only this person, but even several surrounding families were also alarmed! The people in the courtyard looked out one after another, and after confirming that there were outsiders entering the village, they immediately thought of the sentence "the imperial court's messenger" just now, and immediately shouted and rushed out of the courtyard and rushed straight to Liu Haojia!

Several people behind Liu Haojia were terrified in their hearts when they saw it, and they shouted loudly: "Stop!" Stop! Don't lean in! ”

But these people rushed over like grasping a life-saving straw for a while, where would they listen to what they shouted! In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people approached!

Seeing this, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Stab them in the chest and abdomen, don't use too hard!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man with scattered sideburns had already rushed over first! Liu Haojia picked up the wooden stick with both hands and stabbed it forward, and before the person on the other side could figure it out, the wooden stick had already stabbed him in the chest! However, Liu Haojia still relaxed his strength before he was solid.

Even so, the wooden stick that stabbed him quickly knocked him to the ground in one fell swoop! He didn't take a breath and choked in his throat, and the whole person writhed on the ground, like a live fish on the shore!

The four people who rushed up were also poked to the ground with sticks by several people next to Liu Haojia, and after seeing five people screaming loudly on the ground, the others calmed down and stood in place and did not dare to move forward.

Liu Haojia picked up the stick and pointed and said: "Everyone stands back under the courtyard wall of their homes, separated by an arm's length, and is not allowed to gather, who is the village chief?" Let the village chief come and see me! ”

Zhang Peilan and the others poked the villagers with sticks, and drove them back to their courtyard walls to stand. Even the five people lying on the ground got up and staggered back to the courtyard wall of their house.

When Liu Haojia asked for the second time, one person said weakly: "The village chief is already sick, and now it is Second Master Gu who has the final say in the village." ”

Liu Haojia immediately said: "Go and call him and let him come to see me." ”

After saying that, he was afraid that they would not go, so he simply pointed a stick at the most marginal person and told him to find someone. The man didn't want to go, but because of Liu Haojia's identity, he still took a further half step back and walked towards the village.

But before he could go a few steps away, he heard footsteps, and then three men came out of the alley formed by the two houses. The person in front of him had half-white hair and looked like he was in his sixties, and his figure was already a little rickety. But the two middle-aged people behind him are very strong. And the three of them look a little similar, so I think their relationship should be father and son.

The person assigned by Liu Haojia saw the three of them appear, and immediately said happily and loudly: "Official, this is Second Master Gu!" Second Master Gu, Qin sent to our village! Our village is saved! ”

Second Master Gu saw that there was a group of strangely dressed people at the entrance of the village, and his steps were stunned. Then he strode over with a happy face. But he was very smart, standing six or seven steps away from Liu Haojia, he stopped and said: "Just now, the old man heard the villagers shouting that the Qin messenger is coming, I don't know if you are the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court?" ”

Liu Haojia said: "This official is the imperial court's Qincha!" You are what they call Second Master Gu, right? ”
