Not only General You, but everyone else present was looking at Xie Guangbai in confusion.
However, they soon understood what the so-called action of the benevolent God meant.
"Join the army, the brothers who went to the western suburbs to pull out the bodies came to report that they didn't know why they couldn't get into the western suburbs, and from the sound, the people inside seemed unable to get out. It was really a ghost."
After everyone returned to the county government office, a bailiff reported to General You.
Upon hearing this, the people present looked at each other in surprise.
"Doesn't that mean that the western suburbs are now like the city gate, covered by something invisible?"
"So, it was the good god who intervened when we couldn't get out?"
"But now people outside can't enter the western suburbs, how can we set up the venue according to what the miracle doctor said?"
Xie Guangbai quickly answered everyone's questions.
He took the county runners to the slums in the western suburbs. He first bowed to the invisible cover, and then said something respectfully.
"Good morning, Lord Good God."
After saying that, he walked straight into the place that the yamen runners said could not be entered.
The yamen runners stared at Xie Guangbai who had really gone in, their eyes widened, and some even rubbed their eyes hard to make sure they were not seeing things.
"How about we give it a try?" a yamen runner said excitedly.
The others immediately agreed, "Okay, Xiao Liu, you go first and set an example for us old-timers."
After giving a simple smile, the bailiff Xiao Liu straightened his back and walked quickly to the entrance of the slums.
He imitated Xie Guangbai, first bowed to the invisible cover, and then shouted loudly.
"Good morning, Lord Good God!"
After doing all this, the bailiff Xiao Liu walked into the slums with a heroic and high-spirited look.
He turned around and looked at his companions in surprise, and shouted loudly: "Yes, it's really possible, come in quickly!"
"The God of Mercy is truly amazing!"
"Today, my brother has finally witnessed what a miracle is!"
After entering the slums, the yamen runners exclaimed in praise.
Xie Guangbai took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to the oldest yamen runner.
"Take this pill first. It's a preventive medicine I prepared before going down. I can't say it can completely prevent infection, but at least it can help prevent infection easily.
I need to check the infection situation here first. After you take the medicine, you can clean up the place."
After saying that, Xie Guangbai walked towards a low thatched house not far away.
“The miracle doctor is worthy of being a miracle doctor. He can even make preventive medicine and give it to us for free.
Thank goodness, God, for sending him to our Heyu County. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what our county would have become.”
The older yamen runner sighed as he distributed pills to his brothers. Everyone had just finished taking the medicine and tied the face towels issued by the county government on their heads. They were about to discuss what to do.
When they looked up, they saw a woman and a man actually walked in through the protective shield.
"Hey, who are you? How did you get in? Don't you know what happened in the western suburbs? Get out of here, get out of here!" a bailiff shouted anxiously.
The woman and man were Xu Jinhuan and Ma Wencai. Ma Wencai smiled and bowed to the bailiff, and explained.
"This yamen runner, you don't know that we came here with Dr. Xie. You can see that we are both wearing the same masks."
The yamen runners then noticed that both of them were wearing the same masks as Xie Guangbai. The serious expressions on their faces faded, replaced by respect.
"So you are the companions of the divine doctor. I guess you two are also believers of the benevolent god. We were rude just now."
Xu Jinhuan shook his head upon hearing this, "You are all thinking about the people, how can you be rude? Let's clean up the place first and prepare to treat the disease and save people."
The bailiffs nodded immediately and first cleaned up the debris on the open space at the exit, and then put away the things brought by the shopkeepers.
Soon, a simple medical facility was set up.
"Search every household, gather the dead together, and burn them all," Xu Jinhuan ordered.
When the yamen runners heard this, they looked at each other. Finally, the old runner stepped forward. He saw the long sword behind Xu Jinhuan, considered the address, and then spoke.
"Lady, are you really going to burn it? Then won't these people be reduced to ashes?"
It turns out that cremation was not popular in the Dagan Dynasty. There was only one burial method, which was burial.
Whenever someone dies, a coffin is prepared, the body is placed in the coffin, and then buried in a chosen Feng Shui location.
They believe that their bodies and hair are given by their parents, and even after death, the body must be kept intact.
In their eyes, cremation will make the dead unable to hold their heads up in the underworld.
Seeing the expressions of the yamen runners, Xu Jinhuan also remembered the custom of Da Gan, but now it was a special situation and it had to be handled specially, so she asked in return.
“There is a lot of plague in these corpses. If we just bury them, they will be eaten by hungry animals, and the animals will pass the disease on to one another.
I'm afraid that in a few years, Heyu County will face a second plague. Can you withstand it?"
The bailiffs were all surprised when they heard this.
"What? There's a second round?"
"So many people died this time. If it happens again, Yu County and I will become deserted cities."
"Burn it. It has to be burned, and it has to be burned quickly."
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan nodded with satisfaction. She took Ma Wencai and the yamen runners to look for the body.
"Mom, mom, wake up, I've borrowed some food, eat something before you leave!"
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
"Hey, baby, I'll hold you in my arms and let you bask in the sun today."
The further Xu Jinhuan walked into the slums, the more crying sounds he heard. Some people were crying for their parents, some were crying for their children, each with their own sorrow.
Xu Jinhuan saw the young woman holding her child in the sun. She was pale and thin, and her clothes were ragged, but the child in her arms was wearing cotton clothes with very few patches.
I think the woman gave the best to her child.
Xu Jinhuan was just about to turn her head, but the next moment her pupils suddenly shrank.
It was not because of anything else, but because the face of the child in the woman's arms was exposed. The dry and peeling little face had turned bluish and there was no movement in the chest.
It was obvious that the child was dead.
Xu Jinhuan took the opportunity to look into the woman's eyes and found that although the woman seemed conscious, she was actually not mentally normal.
"Ms. Xu, this woman's child is gone. But if we take the child away now, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer. What should we do?"
Xu Jinhuan did not answer him, but walked to the woman and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Manager Yang has shown kindness today and is distributing food in the east. He has also sent a doctor to provide free medical consultation. You can take your child with you."
