"Yes, all the chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs at home are fine. This doctor must be talking nonsense."

In order to extricate himself, the doctor immediately explained...

“The palms of this family’s hands are all pink, which is a typical symptom of the plague. I just took the pulses of the two old people in the house, and their pulses were deep and weak, so there is no mistake. Village chief, if the plague spreads from your village and you know about it but do not report it, you will be imprisoned. I advise you to seal off this courtyard as soon as possible, have someone report it to the authorities, and completely control the plague.”

Everyone instinctively looked at their own palms.

The village chief's face was extremely grim.

Xiao Cui asked, "Village chief, why did you come to our house to see a doctor? Is it because one of the elderly people in your family has also fallen ill?"

The burly men behind the village chief turned pale with fright.

Xiao Cui, after all, served in a large family like the Chen family.

His ability to read people's expressions and moods is much better than that of the villagers.

The problem was immediately apparent.

“Village chief, if we let the doctor leave, our entire village will be sealed off, and we won’t be able to do any business. If we can’t find a cure, we might even be slaughtered by the government troops.”

This is by no means an exaggeration.

The village chief was old and had heard about the massacre of the village to suppress the plague; his heart pounded with fear.

The doctor said urgently, "Village chief, you can't be so unreasonable! This plague is fierce, but as long as we kill the infected, cremate their bodies, and take proper precautions, it won't spread. None of you are sick, please don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, several burly men behind the village chief all raised one hand.

Everyone's palms were tinged with pink.

The doctor was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
