As they were talking, a carriage drove in from the intersection. Tong Wen Yao stared at it, and even everyone in the village watched the carriage stop in front of them. If they had not heard Wu Qing say that there was an epidemic in Cangzhou, they would definitely treat it with normality. But now that the village chief said there was an epidemic, they would treat any strangers and strange carriages approaching their village with great vigilance.

Someone brave enough in the crowd shouted, "Who is in the carriage? Where are you from? Tell us your name immediately, or you will leave our village!"

The man in the carriage first stretched out his hands. Tong Wenyao was closer and could see calluses on his hands, so she guessed he was a martial artist. When the cloth covering the carriage was removed, Tong Wenyao breathed a sigh of relief. But the man in the carriage said, "I'm from Cangzhou..." Before he could finish his words, the villagers picked up shovels or wooden boards and shouted, "You're from Cangzhou, you're not allowed to stay in our village. Please leave immediately, or we'll use violence."

Tong Wenyao saw the villagers like this, and an anxious expression appeared on her face. She quickly said, "Everyone has misunderstood. This person is our teacher. I invited him from Cangzhou."

When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment, but some were still worried and said, "This man came from Cangzhou. How do we know if he has contracted the disease? If he has, the whole village will be burned down."

Tong Wenyao was a little embarrassed after hearing this. After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't we give them an empty house in the village and let them stay there alone for two days. If they are fine after two days, it means they are not infected with the disease."

Wu Qing said, "That's a good idea. If you still have doubts after two days, don't send your children to school!"

After hearing this, the people in the crowd said, "We trust you, Master, but we dare not take risks with our children. Let me first apologize to you, Master!" Once something happens, it must be repeated. After this was said, the people in the village began to apologize one after another, which made Kong Ming feel relieved. Indeed, after he received the news, the people in Huichun Hall told him to come to Changjiang Village as soon as possible.

It just so happened that he came here directly after finishing the work in his hands. When he arrived in Yuguan County, he heard them say that there was an epidemic in Cangzhou. When he was feeling lucky that he had escaped a disaster, he was wondering if the people in Huichuntang had known that there would be an epidemic in Cangzhou, so why did Mr. Yan ask him to come to Changjiang Village?

However, this matter will be discussed after two days. Now he is following the village chief and staying in the room with Xiaobao for two days. He will ask her after two days.

Tong Wen Yao followed them, and Wu Qing took them to the thatched house where the Tong family used to live. After renovation, the house was completely habitable, and it was not cold at night because of the fire on the kang. The two of them had a room each.

After Wu Qing opened the gate, he walked to the side and said, "You will stay in the yard for the next two days. You are not allowed to go out or talk to the villagers. After two days, if you are not sick, I will come to open the gate."

Kong Ming nodded after hearing this, but the servant boy beside him was very angry, and his nostrils were expanding and contracting like a cow breathing.

Wu Qing saw it too, but he had no choice but to do so. He couldn't rely on any chance, or else, if one person got sick, the whole village would be doomed. After they entered, Wu Qing used a long hook to hook the door shut, saying, "Excuse me." After hooking the hook, Wu Qing locked the door with the padlock and spoke through the bamboo fence, saying, "These two, every day at noon and evening, I'll send someone to pass food in with a hook. Keep an eye on them."

Kong Ming saluted and said, "Thank you, Village Chief Wu." Tong Wenyao said from outside, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kong, that you have to face such a thing just after arriving. I will host a welcome party for you in two days."

Kong Ming said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tong. I'm a little clueless, so I'd like to ask Miss Tong to help me solve my doubts."

After hearing this, she said, "Please speak." Kong Ming looked at her and asked, "What is your relationship with Huichuntang?" Tong Wenyao didn't expect him to ask this question, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she said, "Master Yan of Huichuntang is my master."

No wonder, he said that he had no intersection with Huichuntang, so why would he come to remind himself? It turned out that he had a master-disciple relationship with her. However, when he thought that Huichuntang still returned to Cangzhou despite knowing that the epidemic was coming, he had to admire their courage and determination.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Miss. I met Mr. Yan in the suburbs of Cangzhou. If he hadn't reminded me not to return to Cangzhou and come directly to you, I might be trapped in Cangzhou now."

After hearing this, Tong Wen Yao immediately understood why Kong Ming asked her if she knew Huichuntang. It turned out that Kong Ming’s visit to Changjiang Village was related to her master!

"Mr. Kong, you must have been tired on the journey. Mr. Kong, you should just clean up and go to bed! If you want to eat, I'll have the servants bring it to you later."

"In that case, thank you very much."

Xiao Bao was initially angry, but after seeing how well they handled the situation, he didn't say anything. He just kept mumbling, defending his master. Seeing this, Kong Ming said, "Xiao Bao, if you were living well in a place and someone suddenly came in, whether they were infected or not, what would you do?"

After hearing this, Xiao Bao stammered, "Master, Master, this...this is different."

Kong Ming asked, "What's the difference?" Xiao Bao directly expressed his thoughts, "Master, they asked you to come teach here, but how could they lock you up in a place like this? With such a stubborn inhabitant, I wonder how naughty the children must be!"

"Xiao Bao! Don't be rude!" Kong Ming's face darkened slightly. He looked at Xiao Bao with some anger and said, "Then let me ask you, are they planning to lock us up for a year or half a year? Neither! Just two days, and why? Aren't we from Cangzhou? There's an epidemic in Cangzhou now, so they're being cautious. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone is afraid of death, and I'm no exception! Put yourself in their shoes. If you were infected with the disease by someone else, would you be cruel to that person?"

At this point, his tone softened and he said, "Locking us two in the yard for two days is the wisest option at the moment, and it's also good for both sides!"

Xiao Bao felt a little depressed after hearing this, but he also knew that what the teacher said was right. If he met someone from the epidemic area, he would be scared to death and even stay away from him. But if he was treated like this, he would feel very uncomfortable and even wanted to refute them.

Kong Ming said, "Xiao Bao, if you thought that just now, I don't blame you. People's hearts are biased, and they will be biased when looking at people and things. Fighting for one's own rights and interests and standing up for oneself is all because one's own interests have been violated, so one wants to fight for their own interests."
