Chapter 783: Heaven is ruthless, but people are righteous. With unity, everything will turn around.
Xu Yu still didn't know what kind of high hopes Chen Jing'an had placed on him, but the next few days seemed to prove that the half-immortal's words were not entirely nonsense.
The rain gradually stopped.
From the torrential rain that made it impossible to open one's eyes to the drizzle, the gloomy sky finally turned to a slight brighter color.
A long-lost ray of sunlight scattered casually on the dripping eaves and on the road where there was still water.
Sang Zhixia heard cheers early in the morning and hurried out. She looked up at the light that broke through the dark clouds, and her eyes slowly lit up.
The rain has stopped.
The sky cleared up.
"I told you I wouldn't make a mistake!"
Surrounded by the crowd amidst the cheers, Banxian said solemnly: "Heaven is ruthless, but people are righteous. With unity, everything can turn around."
"Look, is this disaster over?"
"Is my calculation accurate?"
The people surrounding the half-immortal laughed out loud, jumped for joy and cheered loudly.
Sang Zhixia glanced at Banxian sideways, half-smiling, and winked at Xu Mingyang, who was standing beside her with a happy face.
Xu Mingyang laughed and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
When a disaster is about to pass, people's hearts are agitated. These charlatans who always talk about fate will often seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune.
Saving a life in times of trouble is a no-brainer.
But if the people who were rescued want to cause trouble, that’s not allowed.
Sang Zhixia patted Xu Mingyang's shoulder to indicate that he had handed it over to her. Without further delay, she walked out: "Please invite Patriarch Fan and Patriarch Gui here for me. Tell them that I have something important to discuss with you."
When the flood recedes, what remains is not only the joy of surviving the disaster.
They still have a lot to do.
As soon as Sang Zhixia left, Xu Mingyang pulled the half-immortal who was talking nonsense in the crowd aside.
Xu Mingyang has inherited the true teachings of Sang Zhixia. Whenever he meets someone, no matter who they are, he always smiles before speaking and is very friendly.
Banxian knew that his identity was unusual, and said with a reserved smile: "Master Xu, you..."
"Well, why are you being so polite?"
Xu Mingyang gently patted Banxian's shoulder and said slowly, "We are all friends who have shared hardships. There is no need to be so distant."
"only……"
Xu Mingyang jokingly said, "We're all close friends, so if we ask you to tell our fortunes, there's no need to charge, right?"
Banxian's smile froze slightly, and the next second he nodded decisively: "Yes, yes, how can I charge money for this?"
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Mingyang nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."
"Talking about money hurts the relationship?"
"Think about all the steamed buns, pancakes, and hot soup you've eaten these past few days. If you charge for all of these things, it'll be hard to settle the bill."
A bowl of porridge that saves your life is priceless.
What's more, this half-immortal came with nothing but a bathtub, and he couldn't afford the money.
The half-immortal, who was eager to make a fortune, was completely discouraged by Xu Mingyang's words. After a moment of depression, his enthusiasm revived. He began to be known as the Shede Immortal by the people. He set up a stall on the spot and began to tell fortunes and answer questions for free.
Xu Mingyang clapped his hands and left with satisfaction. He never thought that this immortal, with his eloquent words, would attract more and more people to gather in front of the small stall covered with straw mats.
The water at the ferry has been gradually receding since the night before yesterday, and this morning it receded enough to reveal the submerged first step.
After enduring for a long time, Xu Yu finally got a chance to return to the city. When he was about to change his clothes and look for Sang Zhixia, he noticed the hustle and bustle here when he passed by.
Chen Jingan stood on tiptoe to take a look, suppressed a laugh and whispered, "Isn't this the half-immortal you were talking about?"
"Sure, it's quite popular to be able to predict things."
After hearing this, Xu Yu's eyes flickered slightly and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Yes, isn't this the human heart?"
Chen Jingan was puzzled when he heard this: "What are you mumbling about?"
He's just a complete charlatan, what else can you expect from him?
Xu Yu ignored Chen Jing'an's doubts. He went to the place to change his wet clothes, asked where Sang Zhixia was, and went to look for her.
Sang Zhixia is discussing post-disaster reconstruction and epidemic prevention measures with others.
Although this flood did not cause a major disaster due to effective disaster prevention and control, the details after the disaster cannot be neglected.
Mr. Qi was specially invited by Sang Zhixia.
When Old Qi saw Xu Yu walk in, he found a seat next to Sang Zhixia and didn't interrupt. He was too lazy to talk, so he just drank a sip of herbal tea and said, "There were almost no people drowned, but there were quite a few animals and wild animals."
"These living creatures are usually harmless if eaten, but these are different because they've been drowned and then soaked in water for a few days. If they're eaten, they're either poisonous or sick. Don't even touch them."
Often, the major epidemics that follow disasters are not caused by someone deliberately spreading the disease, but by someone who can’t control their mouths and is seeking their own death.
If you eat one bad thing and get a strange disease, it will easily lead to the next one.
Anyone who can't control their mouths will end up being implicated, and no one, young or old, will be able to escape.
Fan Shicheng and Gui Sheng looked grave. Qi Lao continued, "Let's spread the word that drowned animals can't be eaten. This will serve as a warning to these people."
"But just giving warnings won't cut it. We need to get people out to clean up as soon as possible and get rid of everything we can find. Burying them in the ground won't work, as we're afraid we won't be able to prevent those who are desperately seeking death or causing trouble. It's best to collect them and burn them all to avoid future trouble."
Several people present nodded to indicate that they remembered.
Mr. Qi added, “There is also a water source.”
“Although there is a saying that water that falls from the sky has no source, it will definitely bring disaster and disease, and anything that can cause a flood is not a good thing.”
"It's been raining for so long. Anywhere with a well that draws water must be burned with wormwood ash to ward off disease and misfortune."
"Remember to spread the word that after a disaster, whether it's from a well or a river, you can't use raw water. You must boil it over a fire for half an hour, otherwise it's unfit to drink."
Fan Shicheng nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Elder Qi seemed to have nothing more to say, he said cautiously, "Then, in your opinion, should the people of the entire city continue to drink the anti-disease medicinal soup?"
Old Qi looked over with a half-smile in his eyes.
Fan Shicheng shuddered and said without hesitation, "Don't worry, as long as it's something you mentioned in the prescription, even if we don't have it, we will definitely find it for you, and we guarantee it won't cost you anything! We'll cover all the expenses!"
Old Qi snorted and said calmly, "All medicines are poisonous. Why drink so much if you're not sick and want to cure a disaster?"
"Those who are already sick or injured should continue to receive treatment, and those who are well should not be bothered."
Illness comes from the mouth.
As long as you keep your mouth shut, there won't be too much trouble left.
Mr. Qi focused on disease prevention and treatment. After saying what he wanted to say, he didn't want to delay any longer and stood up to leave.
Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu quickly stood up to see him off.
Sang Zhixia: "Why don't you come back and rest for a few days? It's been such a long time, you..."
"I'm not old enough for that yet."
Old Qi waved his hand to interrupt Sang Zhixia's dissuasion, then turned his gaze to Xu Yu's face and frowned, saying, "Stretch out your hand."
Xu Yu's lips moved slightly, and his eyes moved around a little before he reached out his hand.
Fan Shicheng and Gui Sheng were quick-witted and stood up to say goodbye without saying a word.
Xu Yu respectfully helped Mr. Qi sit down again and said with a smile, "Look at my pulse. Is this a relapse of my old injury?"
Old Qi looked at Xu Yu holding his hand: "..."
We agreed to check the pulse.
Why don’t you take your pulse first?
