The woman was surprised and said, "Really? Then I will definitely go.
Thank you for telling me this news. The food at home is almost gone. Not only does my husband not bring back any money, he has even not returned recently."
After the woman finished speaking, she stood up holding the child and headed towards the east excitedly.
The guards looked at Xu Jinhuan in confusion, "Miss Xu, why did you ask her to go east?"
Xu Jinhuan said calmly: "She is pale and thin, but her face is slightly flushed, which is not normal. I felt that she had a fever as soon as I approached her. I think she was infected with the plague by the child.
Letting her go east to get treatment is also for her own good."
The bailiffs then suddenly realized what was going on.
In this way, the yamen runners continued to search for the bodies of those who died of the disease. After gathering the bodies together, they directly set fire to the straw soaked in strong liquor.
"What on earth are the government officials trying to do? It's fine that they went to my house and searched for the body without saying a word, but now they're burning the body in front of us. Aren't they treating us like human beings?"
A ragged man with a few straws stuck on his head said indignantly.
The old man next to him patted his shoulder as an experienced person and said, "Hey, relax your mind. When will we, the people living in the slums, be treated as human beings by the outsiders?"
Even in the slums there are smart people.
"I feel like something is wrong. So many people have died here, and the government officials are dressed like that. Could it be that a plague has broken out here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around, followed by a burst of laughter.
"You idiot, do you always go to the academy to eavesdrop? Your brain has become the same as those scholars. Where are we?
This is the poorest place in Heyu County, and the people living here are considered bad people by the dignitaries. If a plague really broke out, they would not care about us. They might even burn the whole place down and completely destroy all traces.
Where will we send people to help?"
This person's words were agreed by most people.
"That's right. In this poor place, the county magistrate won't care about so many things."
“I guess there was no more room to bury the bodies at the mass grave, so these yamen runners just burned the bodies to save trouble.
As for why they wear face coverings, it's not hard to guess, they just can't stand the stench here."
Everyone was talking at once, not believing that a plague had broken out here.
When the yamen runners saw that the fire had already started and would not be easily extinguished, they turned around and looked at the people gathered around.
Now that they have almost dealt with everything, they finally have time to explain the situation to the people in the slums.
"Fellow villagers, we are the servants of the county government. We have something important to announce. There has been an outbreak of plague in Yu County, and the source is here."
This sentence was like a wake-up call, causing everyone who was just chatting to freeze in their places.
What?
plague?
Did that idiot really come right?
Without waiting for them to ask, the yamen runners said directly, "Don't panic, the county yamen has prepared a place for treatment. If there are seriously ill people at home, they can be sent to the east immediately.
There was a doctor named Xie who was sent by the God of Mercy. His medical skills were very powerful and he had already cured a person who was infected with the plague!"
Everyone looked at the bailiff in surprise, "Is there really a miracle doctor? Can he cure the plague?"
The bailiff nodded. Although he didn't see it, Old Li and Shopkeeper Yang saw it. If these people said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.
Besides, how can the people sent by the gods tell lies?
Seeing that the yamen runner was so sure, everyone felt less worried and someone asked curiously.
"Sir, where is this God of Mercy from? Why did he send a miracle doctor to save us?"
"Yes, this man is really a good person. If there is no miracle doctor, with the medical skills of our county doctors, even if they are given a year, they can't develop any useful medicine."
The yamen runner coughed lightly and said loudly to everyone, "This Jinhuanshan God is not a human..."
Wait, why is this so weird?
Not only did the yamen runners feel strange, but Xu Jinhuan who was listening nearby also felt strange, as he always felt like he was scolding him.
The older yamen runner slapped the one who had just spoken in disdain, and then he shouted in the same voice: "You may not believe it, but this Jinhuanshan God is a real god, you will understand it in the future."
"immortal?"
"Is this true?"
"No matter whether it's true or not, as long as he is willing to help us, he is a god!"
In this way, every household brought their seriously ill people to the east, and Xie Guangbai also began his long journey of diagnosing diseases.
"Thank you, Doctor. These medicines have been prepared according to the prescriptions you gave me. The bounty has also been exchanged for food as you ordered. Our shopkeeper has also added 50% more."
A man who looked like a worker was pulling a large cart of things and said to Xie Guangbai.
After Xie Guangbai confirmed that there was no problem, he called a few people nearby to boil medicine and handed the food to Xu Jinhuan.
"Boss, I'd better let you handle these grains. I don't trust others with them."
It is not appropriate to call Xu Jinhuan the master under the current circumstances, so Xie Guangbai changed to the same title as Ma Wencai.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Ma Wencai to find a few healthy women to help cook the porridge, and we can start distributing the porridge soon.
I heard that someone's chronic illness was cured by your silver needles, and he is ready to be made a deity for the God of Joy and Kindness?"
Hearing this, Xie Guangbai touched his face a little embarrassedly and explained.
“That man was asked by another shopkeeper to help. I saw that he was lame, but he didn’t look injured, so I asked him about it.
After listening to his description of his condition, I took his pulse and found that his meridians were blocked, so I tried silver needles. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.
He wanted to pay for the consultation, but I did not accept it. My skill of curing illnesses with silver needles was upgraded because of the boss, so I wanted him to believe in the God of Good Fortune.
As a result, this guy acted as if he understood the situation and told everyone he met about it, and the news spread quickly."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing that I didn't expect. You can take a rest for an hour or so. You will be busy in the afternoon."
In this way, distributing porridge and treating illnesses were carried out in full swing.
After taking the medicine prepared by Xie Guangbai, the originally seriously ill people soon became full of energy, and more and more seriously ill patients left the diagnosis place alive.
Other areas of the county were also brought under control in a timely manner thanks to Xie Guangbai's medicine.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan, Xie Guangbai and Ma Wencai also prepared to leave.
"Lady, are you leaving now?" Shopkeeper Yang asked in surprise.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "We have been here for a long time, and there are people in other places who need treatment, so it is time to leave."
When Shopkeeper Yang heard this, he kept all the words of persuasion to himself. He knew that these three people were sent by the God of Kindness to save people, so they naturally could not be delayed.
"This barrier will last for a while. When there is no more plague in Heyu County, the barrier will disappear." Xu Jinhuan smiled and pointed to the city gate.
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from the city gate.
"Hurry, let me in!"
