6. Ancient Villages (2)

The boxy courtyard was filled with smoke, and the tall buildings around it blocked the large amount of sunlight from all around. A large tree rises from the middle of the yard, its branches stretch out from the top of the building, growing outward, and the dense tree is like an open umbrella, blocking all the sunlight pouring down from above, making the distance from the ground to the top of the head dim, and the yard is filled with a gloomy smell.

Occasionally, a little wind came through the cracks, blowing the yellow runes hanging from the trees to move with the wind.

A mage in a dark blue robe held a scepter and danced in the middle of the courtyard.

In the corner of the courtyard there is also an elderly man, his face is wrinkled, and he is old, he is supported by two men, watching intently at the mage exorcism and evil spirits, he is the patriarch of this ancient village, Wang Buqun, and his two sons are supporting him.

After the mage finished the Fa, he walked over, Wang Buqun's body moved, and the two sons next to him realized that he was going forward.

Wang Buqun: "Master, twenty years ago, you said that it was because the women in the village committed taboos and offended the gods, and the gods brought great disasters to our village, you said that as long as the women did not see the light of day, we also did it according to your method, and now twenty years have passed, and there is still nothing to come out of this village, what is going on?"

The mage paused and said, "My method will never go wrong, someone in your village must have offended Tianyan." ”

Wang Buqun said: "How can it be, all the women in our village are wrapped in the headscarves that you have given us, Master, who have already cast spells. ”

The mage said, "Can you guarantee that these women didn't sneak it away while you weren't looking?"

Wang Buqun: "This ......" He was speechless for a while, unable to refute it.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came up the stairs towards the high house, which could only be entered with the permission of the patriarch, so the footsteps stopped abruptly at the door, and then a knock was heard at the door.

"Patriarch, it's not good, something happened......"

When Wang Buqun heard this, he instructed one of his sons: "Go and see, what's going on?"

"Yes, father. ”

His son went out of the house, closed the door carefully, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Feiying didn't know whether he was scared or running, the sweat on his forehead was dripping down vigorously, and he couldn't care to wipe the sweat and said, "There is a plague in the village." ”

Wang Gui didn't care about it, but when he heard this, his face changed in vain, and he immediately said, "This is true." ”

Wang Feiying said: "What the medical immortal Wang Yuling said, then can there be a fake? He also asked us to gather the whole village to see which people are sick, to prevent infection, and to isolate!"

Wang Gui: "You wait here, I'll quickly report to my father." With that, he hurried into the house, forgetting to close the door.

Through the crack in the door, Wang Feiying saw him talking in his father's ear, and when the patriarch heard this, his face was also pale, and the mage on the side also heard their conversation, and his dancing figure suddenly froze, and his eyes rolled around, and then returned to his original state.

The patriarch said: "Mage, I have urgent matters to deal with, leave first, and the matter here will be left to you." ”

Mage: "Okay. ”

Patriarch: "Go and ring the bell and gather everyone in the open space outside this house." ”

"Good. ”

The bell was built at the highest point of the village, and whenever something important happened in the village, the bell would be ringed, and at that time, all the people in the village would gather in the open space outside the high house, which was an unwritten rule in the village, and all villagers were told from birth.

Immediately, a bell that shook the sky rolled from the high house to all corners of the village. After Wang Yuling saw the doctor at Wang Feiying's house, he was already convinced that it was malaria, and he immediately returned home to inquire about the medical book left by Aunt Shen. There had been no plague in the village since she could remember, so she didn't know how to treat it.

When the search was fruitless, a thick bell suddenly rang, presumably Wang Feiying had already informed the patriarch, she picked up the medical book she hadn't read and ran to the high house.

When I ran outside the high house, the people had not yet arrived. When the patriarch saw Wang Yuling, he asked, "Are you sure it's malaria?"

Wang Yuling nodded.

Patriarch: "Is there a cure?"

Wang Yuling shook his head, "Not yet." ”

The patriarch looked anxious, and the mage in the house didn't know what was going on in the village, so he only listened to the noise outside, so he carefully distinguished the sound outside by sticking to the crack in the door.

Hearing the word "malaria", the yellow charm in his hand shook off instantly, he just came here to make a show and make some money to go back, but he couldn't put his life here.

The mage is an outsider, and probably only the patriarch knows where he came from and how powerful his spells are.

So the mage looked at his props, originally wanted to bring them along, but then thought that there was a plague here, and he was afraid of being infected, so he didn't even want his set of food guys, he dressed up, pretended to be calm, walked out of the high house, and said to the patriarch: "There must be someone in the village who does not follow my law, as long as you find that person, this curse will be broken, I will say all I say, and I will leave and leave." ”

The patriarch wanted to stay, but the mage walked towards the outside of the village without looking back, and when he walked to a place where there was no one, he quickly took off and ran, picked up his long clothes, didn't care about his image, threw off his shoes and ran.

In a hurry, he collided with Wang Tang in the village, Wang Tang touched his aching head, looked at the person who hit him, and recognized that the person in front of him was the mage invited by the patriarch, "Is there something wrong with the mage being so anxious?"

The mage didn't care about his face covered with mud, so he stood up and ran away, "People are doing it, the sky is watching, there are evil people in the village, and the disaster is ........"

Wang Tang didn't hear what he said, thinking that something had happened in the high house, so he ran in three steps and two steps.

Patriarch: "Tap the number of people." ”

Wang Gui then tapped, "Ten people are missing." ”

"If there is a lack of people in any family, report your name. ”

"Wang Shuang, Qi Yun .........."

Wang Gui: "Father, except for the ten people who didn't come, it's right." ”

Patriarch: "Why didn't they come?"

The family members of these ten people all said that they were sick and feverish, or they were suffering from chills and chills, and the patriarch took a few steps back when he heard this, "It seems that it is really a plague!"

When the people below heard the word "plague", their faces turned pale as if they had seen death, and they talked about it.

"What can I do about this?"

"That's it. ”

"The plague is contagious!"

At this time, everyone thought of a person with great tacit understanding, that is, Wang Yuling, everyone looked for Wang Yuling in the crowd, and finally found him on a bluestone step next to him, who was looking through medical skills to find a solution.

Everyone rushed over, Wang Yuling was looking at it seriously, and suddenly a large shadow was cast on the medical book, he turned his head, and found that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him behind him, which scared her.

"Yuling, how is it, is there a way?"

"Yes, Yuling, is there a way?"

"Yuling, you must come up with a way, we will all rely on you. ”

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Wang Yuling suddenly felt a lot of pressure, he lowered his head: "I'm sorry everyone, I haven't thought of a solution for the time being, but ........"

"Yuling, you are a medical immortal in our village, you can't think of a way, then we will have to wait for death. ”

"Yuling, aren't you usually very powerful, why did you drop the chain at this time?"

"Yuling, you have been fatherless and motherless since you were a child, although Aunt Shen takes care of you more, but we usually take care of you a lot, right!"

Wang Yuling: "I know, I know that everyone is good to me, so I will try to find out ......."

"Try, try to have a fart, I want a solution. ”

Wang Tang: "How can you say that, isn't Yuling trying to figure out a way, and besides, this is not Yuling's business alone." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem" At this time, one of the people in the crowd coughed violently, and the person who was arguing heard this voice, and suddenly dispersed like a frightened bird, and was silent.

This cough came from Wang Shulang, who was Qi Yun's husband.

"Shu Lang, your lady didn't come today, looking at you like this, it won't be infected!"

Wang Shulang smiled and said: "How could it be, it's just that the wind is strong, the throat is a little uncomfortable, and my lady broke her leg and foot, so she didn't come." Although he said this, he scolded the unlucky girl in his heart.

When everyone heard him say this, they still couldn't believe it, and they were far away from him.

At this time, the patriarch spoke: "Since there is no way to come up with it at present, there is only one way, which is to burn all these people, including their clothes, used items, etc. ”

"Patriarch, how can this be done, my son is still so young, who will support me in the future? If my son is burned, I don't want to live. ”

"I said you can't just think about yourself, there are so many people in the whole village, you can't lose your lives because of these ten people!"

"It's not your relatives who burned, of course you are standing here and talking coolly...."

"What do you mean to say cool words, this is the order of the patriarch. ”

Wang Yuling was also anxious at this time: "Patriarch, this is all human life, how can you burn them alive like this?"

Patriarch: "Is there anything better for you?"

Wang Yuling hesitated for a moment, looking at their sad faces a little unbearable, and said with a heat in his mind: "Give me two days, and I will definitely find a way to heal." ”

The patriarch raised his eyebrows: "Okay." ”
