Chapter 91 Stop Right There
Although he had a reasonable plan, the water at the foot of the mountain had not receded yet, so Peng Wang could not go down the mountain to look for the county magistrate.
When encountering such a situation, we can only wait patiently and hope that the flood will recede soon.
The amount of herbs He Zhiran bought last night was enough. Now that things here were finalized, she planned to arrange for the villagers to continue decocting the medicine.
I don’t know if Liu Lizheng let it slip, but the villagers already knew that they were infected with the plague.
At this time, the villagers were quite emotional. They didn't even want to stay in the cave and wait for death. They just wanted to escape from here.
Although Liu Lizheng was still sober, he believed what He Zhiran said and would not allow those people to come out without her consent.
However, those villagers had been frightened out of their sanity. How could the village headman alone stop them?
When He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye arrived at the entrance of the cave, they saw the villagers pushing open the door and rushing out.
Mo Jiuye shouted, "Stop right there!"
The leading villager was stunned, then raised the axe in his hand and gestured at Mo Jiuye twice.
"If you want to die, stay here and don't stop us."
How could Mo Jiuye let these villagers leave? He took the lead and blocked the entrance of the cave.
He Zhiran also arrived, and the couple blocked the entrance to the cave.
The leading villager just wanted to scare Mo Jiuye away with the axe. Now that the man was blocking the entrance of the cave, he really didn't dare to drop the axe.
In this way, the two sides remained deadlocked for about thirty seconds.
Peng Wang also heard the noise here, and led the officers to block the entrance of the cave, while drawing their swords.
When the villagers saw that the other party had weapons in their hands, they immediately lost their arrogance.
"Sir, please let us go! We don't want to die yet."
He Zhiran took a step forward and stood in front of the person who was speaking.
"Who said you should die?"
One villager said with a bitter face, "Some of us have been infected with the plague. If we don't leave here, if the government finds out, they will definitely lock us up and burn us alive."
Hearing this, He Zhiran patiently asked, "Did you all drink the medicine last night?"
The villagers nodded in confusion.
He Zhiran pointed at Li Tiezhu, who was being supported by his wife, and asked, "Tell us the truth, do you feel much better now than yesterday?"
Li Tiezhu subconsciously touched his jaw.
"The swelling has definitely gone down."
He Zhiran looked at several other villagers who had shown symptoms.
"You guys, have the fever and vomiting symptoms from yesterday improved?"
Several people nodded dully: "I haven't vomited since I drank the medicine."
"Except for feeling a little dizzy, all other symptoms are gone now."
He Zhiran nodded and glanced at everyone again.
"Did you hear that? Those who were already infected with the plague have recovered after taking my medicine.
Given the situation, as long as you continue to take the medicine, I guarantee that you will recover within three days.
I believe you have also heard about the severity of the plague. Anyone who is infected has no chance of survival.
If you don't want to die, just stay here and continue taking your medicine.
Of course, if you insist on leaving, I won't stop you, as long as you don't regret it."
After hearing what He Zhiran said, the villagers hesitated.
What they said does make sense. Even if they escape from here, not only will there be no one to treat them, but they won't even have a place to stay. It will still be a dead end.
Soon, someone figured this out.
"I'm not leaving. At worst, I'll die here. At least I'll be in my hometown."
"I won't leave either. I can't bring the virus to more people."
Liu Lizheng took the opportunity to continue to persuade the villagers, and they gradually regained their senses and returned to the cave.
He Zhiran handed the herbs to the village head and asked him to arrange someone to continue decocting the medicine.
The commotion here was so big that even the exiled prisoners and officials knew about the plague.
At first, everyone was as frightened as the villagers.
Gradually, under the persuasion of Peng Wang and Mo Jiuye, he gradually gave up the idea of escaping from here.
In the eyes of the Mo family, now is a matter of life and death.
At this time, the family must unite and support Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
The sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue followed He Zhiran from front and back.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, I'm not afraid of death as long as I can be with my family. If there's anything you need done, just tell me."
"Yes, Ninth Sister-in-law, we in the Mo family are not afraid. If you need any help, just tell us directly."
“…”
He Zhiran was once again moved by her family's support, and she smiled and comforted everyone.
"Sisters-in-law, Hanyue, you don't have to worry. My medicine not only cures the plague, but also prevents infection.
You have all taken medicine, so the possibility of being infected is very low."
With He Zhiran's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely grateful that the ninth brother had brought home such a capable wife before being exiled.
The family members were enthusiastic and really wanted to help, but He Zhiran really didn't have anything he needed them to do right now.
She sent everyone away with sweet words, and when she turned around, she found that Mo Jiuye was gone.
He Zhiran just thought that he was looking for a place to relieve himself and didn't think much about it.
Half an hour later, when the medicine was cooked and distributed to everyone, Mo Jiuye came back with a few pheasants and rabbits.
He Zhiran suddenly realized that this guy had gone hunting.
It’s different when you have kung fu skills. You can hunt so much game in just half an hour.
Unfortunately, there are so many people taking refuge here that the game Mo Jiuye brought back can only be considered a drop in the bucket.
At this time, they have to be a little selfish and let their families fill their stomachs first before considering other things.
Mo Jiuye thought the same, so he sent the game he brought back directly to his sisters-in-law, asking them to roast it and share it with his family.
Peng Wang and Liu Lizheng came to Mo Jiuye almost at the same time.
Both of them have pleading expressions on their faces...
"Brother, I know you are capable, can I trouble you again..."
He became less and less confident as he spoke, but he had to say it.
If you want to avoid going hungry, you can only ask Mo Jiuye for help.
Liu Lizheng also looked at Mo Jiuye eagerly, hoping that he would agree to Peng Wang's request so that he could also benefit from it.
Not to mention eating meat, even drinking a bowl of chicken soup would be good at this time.
With Mo Jiuye's skills, under normal circumstances, hunting some wild game in the mountains would be no problem at all. However, the situation today is special.
Not to mention the slippery road, maybe it was because of the heavy rain, he used his lightness skills to search for a long way, but he only found a few pheasants and rabbits.
