Chapter 91: Mosquito coils

Xiao Feng looked out the door and found that it was none other than Lin Shuiyao's good second brother Lin Xuan.

"No rudeness!"

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to speak, Liu Yiyan was the first to stand up and stop him.

"Xiao Feng, you go on, don't pay attention to him."

Liu Yiyan can be regarded as understanding now, her second son is really useless except for causing trouble, and it is really a little difficult for him to expect him to glorify his ancestors, and he can already burn high incense if he can cause less trouble in the family!

"Mother! He ......"

"Shut up!"

"Mother-in-law, according to the news brought back by the caravan driver of our village. At least 30 or 40 people in Dayou Village have contracted malaria. It's hot now, mosquitoes are raging, and malaria is spreading very fast! Presumably, in less than a week, there will be a large number of patients in Yanyang County! ”

Old Man Liu tapped his cane a few times.

"Xiao Feng, what are you going to let us do, it's okay to say it directly."

With the support of the two heads of the Lin family, Xiao Feng's tone of speech became more and more hardened.

"Or, stock up on firewood, rice, oil, salt, mosquito coils and other materials at home, don't leave the Lin Mansion for half a month or even a month, and light mosquito coils near the house every morning and evening. Alternatively, you can move to Surabaya Village temporarily. ”

Liu Yiyan leaned into Old Man Liu's ear and muttered for a while, then stood up.

"Xiao Feng, we appreciate your kindness. It's better that the Lin family still doesn't leave the Lin Mansion, and I'll go and prepare for a month's worth now, and be ready to stay closed. ”

"In that case, I won't force it. Also, can my mother-in-law lend me the firewood room for two days? ”

Liu Yiyan didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.

"Lin Mansion is also your home, even if you use it, I see who dares to put a beak easily!"

As he spoke, Liu Yiyan glared at Lin Xuan, so frightened that he shrank behind the servant.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, in two days, I will have people send enough mosquito coils and artemisia annua to the Lin Mansion, and please rest assured."

Then, Xiao Feng talked about the various facilities for malaria prevention, and the agreed hour arrived.

Saying goodbye to Liu Yiyan, Xiao Feng hurried to the back door.

At this time, most of the members of the East Star Society had already stood in rows, and Niu Meng stood at the front reciting the epidemic prevention measures that Xiao Feng had told them last night.

"Mengzi, have you all arrived?"

Niu Meng's face was embarrassed.

"Brother Feng, time is in a hurry, I only had time to find about forty percent of people."

"Forget it, time is urgent, let's make four percent of it!"

Xiao Feng took a mosquito coil from the Lin family, and brought a small bag of yellow artemisia as a teaching material and put it in front of everyone.

"It is estimated that Niu Meng has already told everyone about the malaria outbreak in Dayou Village, Yanyang County is now in danger, and I hope you can contribute to the defense of Yanyang County."

"Malaria is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes, and as long as you don't get bitten by mosquitoes, you can't spread it."

……

From the way malaria is transmitted to the prevention and control methods, Xiao Feng tirelessly answered questions and doubts for everyone in the East Star Society, making them temporarily become little experts in treatment and antimalaria.

"I will stay in the Lin family for the past two days, you will convey what I taught you to every household as soon as possible, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come back and ask me at any time!"

Everyone in the Eastern Star Society dispersed, leaving only Niu Meng and Xiao Feng standing at the gate.

"Brother Feng, can malaria be cured?"

"Don't worry, we have a lot of Artemisia annua, plus the village has been closed, Surabaya Village will be fine."

It's not that Xiao Feng deliberately asked or didn't answer, but he knew that Niu Meng was just worried about the safety of his family.

"Okay, that's good."

"Mengzi, go buy some salt. After the spread of malaria, the traveling merchants will not go to Surabaya Village for several months, and we can't be stuck in the neck by salt. ”

The law of Dachu is strict, all the salt eaten by the people is official salt, the advantage is that no matter how much official salt you buy on weekdays, the price will not rise, the disadvantage is that once the trade route is interrupted, the cargo station will directly stop the sale of salt, so there is a popular saying among the people of Dachu, there must be a salt disaster in a small disaster and a big disaster.

Niu Meng received the money from Xiao Feng and went straight to the warehouse.

Xiao Feng was not idle, helping the Lin family up and down to fight the epidemic.

However, before much work was done, the county magistrate led a group of soldiers to break into the Lin family, with two people tied up with five flowers.

"What about Xiao Feng, let him come out to this official!"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he immediately put down his work and came to the front yard.

"Lord Prefectural, I don't know what you're looking for?"

"What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to ask this officer? This official asked you, what is the so-called so-called fact that you filmed the members of the Dongxing Society in Yanyang County bewitching the public and being alarmist, lying that malaria is about to break out? ”

Xiao Feng smiled playfully.

"False rumors confuse the public, alarmist? My lord, I dare to assert it. In less than three or five days, malaria will definitely spread to Yanyang County, if we don't prepare as soon as possible and take precautions, I'm afraid that it will be out of control at that time! ”

Master Zhang's eyes flickered, and he came to the county magistrate's side and whispered a few words, and then the county magistrate's face showed a triumphant smile.

"Hmph, I'll just say that you Xiao Feng are not so kind. Someone heard that you have stockpiled a lot of Artemisia annua, and that Artemisia annua is a good herb for malaria! You obviously want to raise prices and take the opportunity to make a lot of money! ”

The county magistrate gave a look, and the two officials immediately threw the two people who were tied up in front of Xiao Feng.

"Hmm......"

The two were gagged and could only whimper.

"Xiao Feng, if you refuse to turn back, this official will not kidnap you as a member of the East Star Society next time, but invite you to taste the prison meal, do you understand?"

Xiao Feng was angry, and wanted to fight a few more words, but looking at the Lin family behind him, he had to give up.

His round eyes narrowed.

"Understood, I will let all the personnel of the Eastern Star Society withdraw, and from now on there will not be a word about malaria in front of your county order, are you satisfied?"

The county commander turned away triumphantly.

"Don't take it as an example."

Master Zhang took a sip from the staff of the East Star Club and hurriedly followed.

"Lord County Commander, you are definitely a wise and martial parent official, look at that ......"

Xiao Feng didn't care to listen to what Master Zhang had chewed, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the two of them.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xiao Feng let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, please help me recall the members of the Eastern Star Society, and by the way, tell them that you must have enough supplies in recent days, and I, Xiao Feng, can only help you get here."

Less than a cup of tea after the two left, Niu Meng walked in angrily.

"Brother Feng, the county order is really excessive, just say that we are alarmist or something, and put up a notice to tell all the people in Yanyang County not to believe our words."

"Since they don't want the Dongxing Society to interfere, then we can also be idle and go back to take care of Surabaya Village. By the way, Mengzi, have you bought the salt I asked you to buy? ”

"Bought it!"

Niu Meng waved his hand, and a thin young man led a horse in, and a large basket was hung on each side of the horse, which was full of salt, which was enough to last for half a year even if the people of Surabaya Village ate it together.

Bidding farewell to Liu Yiyan's family, Xiao Feng returned to Surabaya Village with salt, and at this time, Surabaya Village had set up a checkpoint on the road at the entrance of the village, and also held up a sign prohibiting everyone from entering and leaving.

In the next two days, when Xiang'an was fine, the villagers of Surabaya Village began to suspect that Xiao Feng's inference was wrong.

"Is Village Chief Xiao mistaken?"

"You can't have people in the village just have diarrhea, I think Xiao Zhou is almost better now, didn't the old people say that malaria can't get better for a few months?"

"I feel the same, when the team comes back, we have to ask what we say."

A group of villagers gathered in groups, planning to go to Xiao Feng's house to ask for the guilt, and by the way, to get back the wages for the delay in starting work in the past few days.

But before they could reach the door of Xiao Feng's house, Lao Wang, who had returned from selling goods, brought a bad news that shocked the whole village.
