At this time, Xiaoxue was walking back and forth in the yard, and the sound startled the people patrolling outside. Through the window, they saw people from Wuzhuang in the room, and there were even many unfamiliar people. Wu Feng, who reacted quickly, blew the whistle hanging around his neck.
Wu Feng covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, then looked at them and asked, "How did you sneak in? How long has it been?"
Zhu Luo saw that there were only two people on the opposite side, so he was not very scared. Even if there was a snow leopard, they could still defeat them with so many people together! Ma He said, "Let's go together and defeat them!"
Wu Feng remembered Tong Wen Yao's instructions that if he encountered refugees, he should not contact them or get close to them to avoid being infected. However, when he saw them rushing forward, he could not help but step forward to resist. If he escaped, would the other people in the village be able to survive? He had been following Master Lin for some time, and although he did not learn martial arts, he still knew the basic moves.
As they rushed forward, Xiaoxue also launched an attack. After jumping on its hind legs, it directly smashed the man who rushed forward with its front claws. The man's face was immediately covered with blood. Subconsciously, he covered his eyes and began to cry bitterly.
When the people from the Tong family heard the sound of the whistle, they immediately opened the door and walked towards Wu Zhuang's home. Not only the Tong family, but even families with two men would send one to help.
Tong Wen Yao was also awakened by the noise. It was already getting light outside. She thought that since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well get up and see what was going on!
After quickly getting dressed, she asked Xing'er to put on some simple makeup and hair before going out.
As more and more people gathered behind him, Wu Feng took control of the situation. He told them to stand in the yard and not go anywhere! This was to prevent the disease from spreading to others.
When Tong Wenyao arrived, Xiaoxue was still growling at them. She frowned and said, "Xiaoxue, come back."
After hearing her master calling, Xiaoxue didn't want to go back. She wanted to bite these people to death because they smelled too bad!
After Tong Wen Yao called out for the second time, Xiao Xue finally jumped out of the yard unwillingly and stood beside Tong Wen Yao, but there was still a low growl in her throat. Tong Wen Yao gently stroked her fur to make it smoother, and Xiao Xue finally calmed down.
Village Chief Wu also arrived late at this time. Looking at the many people in the yard, he said with a hint of anger: "Wu Zhuang, who are these people around you? Are they infected with the epidemic?"
Tong Wen Yao had good eyesight and could tell that someone behind them looked unwell. She guessed that he might be sick. If that was the case, all of them today would have to be quarantined, otherwise it would be bad if they infected their family members.
Fortunately, Tong Wenyao had previously mentioned building several rooms for isolation, and they were actually put to use. She wore a cloth mask, covering her mouth and nose. Wu Zhuang looked at the fenced-off yard and said directly, "Village Chief, I was just out for a while, so why can't I go back home now?"
Village chief Wu snorted and said, "Hmph, who are these people you are bringing with you now!" The gates of their village have been closed, and everyone entering and leaving will be checked. Now that Wu Zhuang came in without saying a word, he must have come over the mountain from the other side.
Thinking of the county magistrate's words that if refugees were found, they should be allowed to go outside the city gate, they did not expect that these people would actually smuggle into their village.
Tong Wenyao leaned closer and said, "Village Chief, don't let them out. Someone in the crowd has a fever."
Wu Qing's eyesight was not good, and he wanted to open his eyes wide to see if there was anyone with a fever in the crowd. Unfortunately, he saw a person holding his stomach and vomiting.
He immediately acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy and said, "Quick, get the villagers away. There's an epidemic among them."
The villagers retreated after hearing this, and Zhu Luo seemed to have seen something as well. He opened the door and went out, saying, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be afraid of us. We are nothing but paper tigers."
After saying that, he looked at the village chief arrogantly and said, "If you bring some food here, we promise not to wander around. Otherwise, if we are too hungry to sleep at night, it is not impossible for us to go to one of your houses to chat."
The crowd was talking and wondering whether they should obey them.
Tong Wenyao looked at such a shameless person and said, "Do we need to find a doctor to treat your illness?" Zhu Luo glanced at her and said, "You are quite sensible, little girl. If there is a bell doctor, you can find one to treat us brothers."
After hearing this, she sneered and said, "Then you may be overthinking it. You were the ones who sneaked into Anma Village the day before yesterday!"
After receiving the news that day, she asked the villagers to patrol more carefully at night. Now, they were discovered as soon as they sneaked in. As long as they don't come into contact or get close, it is generally not contagious. However, as for the plague, Tong Wen Yao was still worried about fleas biting them, so in addition to spreading lime, she also organized the villagers to use sulfur to wash quilts and clothes.
Seeing that he was exposed, Zhu Luo sneered and said, "Anma Village is their own fault. If you can give me food, we promise not to wander around."
Could they believe it? A group of people who had wandered from the south wouldn't have made it this far without a ruthless heart. Moreover, the experience of Anma Village was still fresh in their minds. Their fevers hadn't subsided yet, and some elderly people in the village had even died from the torture.
After hearing this, Wu Qing knocked on his cane and said, "How can you sleep peacefully with a poisonous snake?" After hearing this, the villagers behind him said, "That's right, we must drive them out."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Luo said, "You're forcing us to do this. Brothers, charge! Even if we have to die, we must infect them with the plague."
The villagers were filled with fear, but with the village chief in front of them, they felt a little more at ease. Tong Wenyao said, "Take them down! The plague is not incurable!"
After hearing this, the villagers no longer worried and rushed up to beat them up. Some even captured them and tied them up.
Tong Wen Yao sent people to the city to tell the guards that all the escaped people had been caught. They tied them up one by one and brought them to the village gate. It was purely a coincidence that they were caught this time. They escaped for two days and then came to Wu Zhuang's house and went to bed. However, they were discovered after sleeping for less than a while.
Even Wu Zhuang was tied up by the villagers and taken to the village entrance to wait for the guards to arrive.
After that, Wu Qing asked people to clean up the places where they had stayed one by one, and even put the quilts and clothes in water and wash them with sulfur.
That night, many people in the Tong family developed low-grade fevers, and the children even developed high fevers, including Jia'an.
