"If we don't take him away, everyone on our street will be killed by them. Have you forgotten? A few days ago, a plague patient appeared on the street, and more than a hundred people nearby were all imprisoned in the government jail."
"That's right, we absolutely cannot leave him here. We must burn him to death before the government finds out!" Someone shouted excitedly.
After all, no one knows what happened to those who were arrested by the government.
Anyway, no one can come out alive.
Even if there are exceptions, they cost a lot of money.
The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "My son really doesn't have the plague. Please! Don't take my son away."
However, no one paid attention to her cries.
Everyone came forward, tied the man lying on the mat with ropes around his upper body and legs, and started dragging him across the ground.
They dared not approach for fear of contracting the plague.
"Hurry up, don't let the people from the government find out, otherwise we will all die." Someone reminded nervously.
The old woman's mouth was covered and she was dragged to a corner, where she was left to struggle helplessly.
The dying man on the ground looked at his mother, whose mouth and nose were covered and whose limbs were beginning to become weak. He struggled hard and said, "Let my mother go!"
However, due to the weakness caused by hunger, he did not have much strength to untie the restraints on his body.
"Stop!" Yun Miao shouted from behind the crowd.
Suddenly, all the violent refugees stopped their actions and looked towards her.
Under the lights late at night, their skinny faces and numb eyes revealed fierce looks like hungry wolves, as if they would tear apart anyone who opposed them at any time.
Yun Miao kicked Fat Tiger next to him and said, "We have a doctor here!"
Fat Tiger: “…”
They finally understood why Yun Miao brought the four of them into the city. They were definitely tools.
Facing everyone's unified gaze, he stood in the crowd, his legs and feet weak: "I... I... don't..."
"Doctor? Where can we find a doctor at a time like this?" The middle-aged man who led the violence narrowed his eyes and looked at Fat Tiger fiercely: "Doctors have long since stopped caring about us. Those pharmacies are all for the rich."
"Yes, that's right. Especially the plague, they are terrified of it. They have no ability and look down on us refugees."
During the period of migration, the prices of goods in the city were as expensive as gold, which was simply beyond their reach.
Moreover, during this special period, countless medical clinics have closed.
Even most doctors did not dare to admit that they were doctors, for fear of being dragged to see a doctor and contracting the plague.
So everyone hates doctors so much.
Many people have already clenched the sticks in their hands, wishing they could beat Fat Tiger up.
"And he's so fat, it's obvious he's not a good person." Someone muttered.
During this period, no one has enough to eat, so how can they grow so much meat?
Fat Tiger complained: "I can't lose weight even if I'm hungry!"
The crowd had no time to respond to his words. Someone was already approaching them: "Tie them up, don't let them harm us."
"Yes, if the government finds us, we'll be dead."
Yun Miao looked at this scene and found that the situation in the city was indeed very complicated.
The government is not taking any action, and the refugees on the streets have not been resettled. Seeing how resentful these people are, I'm afraid there are still many things they don't know.
"Everyone, we're not from this city. We heard Yancheng was in trouble, so we came all the way from elsewhere to help." Yun Miao stepped forward and spoke calmly, "Even tying us up won't solve the root of the problem. This person is already sick, so why not let us take a look at his condition? Maybe he can still be saved."
"Besides, not all elevated body temperatures are plague. You can't just kill everyone who catches a cold. You can't kill everyone. If the plague isn't controlled, will you eventually massacre the entire city?"
"The difficulties and problems we face now are the same. We all hope that Yancheng will get better. I hope you will give us a chance to help you, rather than strangling all good intentions in the cradle."
Hearing Yun Miao's words, everyone was stunned.
"You...are from outside?"
"Is it true? Are there still outsiders who dare to come here and die?"
The refugees' expressions were obviously calmer. After all, no one was born an executioner, and everything was done out of helplessness and forced.
Yun Miao nodded: "We are willing to risk our lives to save you all. We hope you can calm down and give us a chance."
"What if you can't save people? Then you will be infected with the plague. If we are discovered by the government, we will all die." The middle-aged man in the lead spoke.
"But if you kill him now, you won't be able to cut off the source of the plague." Yun Miao looked at everyone with a cold gaze: "You don't even dare to let us save people. Is the source of the disease the plague, or are you all too afraid to fight anymore?"
Several people had already dropped the ropes in their hands and looked at the middle-aged man in the lead: "Lao Li, let them see!"
"If they can't be saved, we'll send them all to the crematorium."
"That's right, there's still time tonight..."
Old Li then stepped back and glanced at Yun Miao, "You guys can treat it, but it will only take an incense stick of time."
If it is really a plague, it cannot be cured at all.
Moreover, they knew the consequences of being soft-hearted. If it was really someone from the plague government, they would not show mercy to them.
Yun Miao also knew that although her words had made them retreat, she still needed strength to gain their complete trust. "Please everyone step back three meters. We need to first determine whether the root cause of this patient's illness is plague."
The refugees immediately dispersed. They only knew that fever would occur in the early stages of the plague, but no one dared to diagnose it specifically.
The government would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Fat Tiger looked at Yun Miao, feeling extremely uneasy.
Yun Miao had already pulled him to the dying man on the ground, "See a doctor!"
Yun Miao said to Fat Tiger.
Fat Tiger: "..." How could he treat a disease?
But he could only squat down in front of everyone, reach out his hand to feel the man's pulse, with a look of despair on his face.
If the other person really has the plague, will he die too?
Skinny Monkey, Shorty and Baldy were standing nearby. When they saw this scene, they all looked at Fat Tiger with sympathy.
Mulansheng stood beside Yun Miao to protect her the whole time. Some people did not take action immediately because they saw that he had an aura that made him look difficult to mess with.
Yun Miao, pretending to be an assistant, rolled the man's eyes and checked his mouth. After Fat Tiger took the man's pulse, Yun Miao also took the man's pulse and found that he did not have the plague at all, but was simply weak and had a cold caused by the temperature drop.
