Chapter 86 Just listen to you, brother
"Brother, how about we observe more?"
Seeing that Peng Wang was determined, Mo Jiuye could only remind him helplessly.
"I hope Brother Peng can make a decision before dark. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for us to go up the mountain."
Peng Wang nodded: "Well, after half an hour, if the rain still doesn't stop, I will follow your instructions and go up the mountain."
After Mo Jiuye went back to tell He Zhiran about Peng Wang's decision, she returned to the wing where the official was.
Not only is it convenient to observe the rain, the most important thing is that he can continue to persuade Peng Wang to lead everyone up the mountain.
The half hour that Peng Wang was talking about passed quickly. Instead of showing signs of abating, the rain became heavier and heavier.
Rainwater has completely poured into the wing.
Mo Jiuye took the opportunity and said, "Brother Peng, for everyone's safety, we must go up the mountain immediately."
Peng Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just listen to you, brother."
After saying that, he ordered the officials to call the people in the other wing to pack their things and set off immediately.
Hez hiran was deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem, and she ran to Peng Wang.
"Brother Peng, you'd better persuade Li Zheng and ask him to notify all the villagers to go up the mountain or find other high places. You must not stay here any longer."
He Zhiran's words still had a certain weight for Peng Wang. When everyone was packing their belongings without knowing why, they knocked on Liu Lizheng's door again.
He Zhiran didn't know exactly how Peng Wang persuaded him. In short, when he came out of the inner room, he had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.
He did everything he had to do, and Peng Wang didn't feel any qualms about his conscience, so he once again ordered the confused prisoners to go up the mountain.
Seeing the sisters-in-law coming out of the wing, they were still holding their luggage and other items tightly in their hands.
He Zhiran persuaded: "Sisters-in-law, these have been soaked by the rain, so it's better not to take them with you."
"Ninth brother and sister, these beddings are hard-earned. They can be used as usual after they are dried. Second sister-in-law is not afraid of hard work and can take them with her."
"Yes, the ninth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law can also take them with me. I'm not afraid of hard work."
"Sister-in-law Seven can do it too."
"..."
He Zhiran knew that the sisters-in-law could be said to have been nobles in the capital, and they were not very aware of natural disasters.
Helpless, she could only patiently reason.
"My sisters-in-law have already experienced how difficult it is to carry a load on this muddy road when they were on the road, especially on mountain roads. If you are not careful, your whole body can slide down.
It's not a wise move to carry such heavy luggage that you won't need at the moment. "
Although the sisters-in-law knew what He Zhiran said was reasonable, they were still reluctant to part with it.
Seeing their tangled expressions, Mrs. Mo said in a deep voice: "You all listen to He's advice."
The mother-in-law had already spoken, and the sisters-in-law had no choice but to put their luggage in the side room unwillingly.
The Fang family and the Xie family are smart. Although they don't know He Zhiran's purpose of asking everyone to throw away their luggage, they habitually follow suit.
Everyone put all their luggage in the wing, and following He Zhiran's advice, they came out with only their tents.
When Peng Wang saw that everyone had arrived, he gave the order and set off in the rain.
Everyone was walking hard on the muddy village road. No one could understand what Peng Wang was doing. However, they dared not speak out and could only follow him in the rain full of resentment.
When no one was paying attention to him, He Zhiran bought two bags of charcoal from Taobao Mall, then wrapped it in oilcloth, made a large package and took it out from the space.
In the entire team, except for He Zhiran who was carrying an oilcloth package, the rest were at most two people holding a tent to protect themselves from the rain.
Mo Jiuye was careful and saw He Zhiran's big package at a glance, and quickly took it and carried it on his body.
Soon, everyone came to the foot of the mountain and found a path up the mountain. Mo Jiuye took the lead and walked in front to clear the way for everyone.
Others supported each other and followed.
The most difficult thing is the He family. It is too difficult for them to take He Ming, who has limited mobility, up the mountain.
In order to prevent the He family from affecting their speed, He Zhiran took the initiative to tell them a way.
That is to remove the board of the wooden cart, tie He Ming to it, and then pull it away with a rope.
The official could not ignore the overall situation at this moment and took the initiative to provide hemp rope.
Even so, the He family still fell at the back of the team.
Fortunately, when everyone was halfway up the mountain, they found a mountain col not far ahead.
Judging from He Zhiran's awareness of danger, it is the most suitable place for everyone to take temporary refuge.
Although there is no shelter from the wind and rain, it is better that there are no trees there, so even if there is thunder and lightning, there will be no accidents.
In addition, she also considered the possibility of landslides in the mountains in this weather.
Therefore, that mountain col is the best location to avoid floods.
So she took the initiative to propose to Peng Wang to go there.
Peng Wang was reluctant at first. According to his wishes, he planned to find a cave where he could at least avoid the rain.
He Zhiran could only explain to him the reason for doing so.
Although Peng Wang felt that He Zhiran was a bit alarmist, he finally compromised after thinking of her ability.
What was unexpected was that after everyone arrived at the mountain col, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there were three caves of different sizes there.
Peng Wang was overjoyed. After checking, he allocated caves for temporary shelter from the rain according to the number of people.
He was somewhat partial to the Mo family and let the youngest one go alone.
Although the cave is a little small, the Mo family is very satisfied. After all, they are the only ones together.
The largest cave was divided among the other three families.
The officials chose the medium-sized one.
Everyone has a place to take shelter from the rain, and thorny problems also arise.
The clothes on their bodies are already soaked. If they cannot be changed or dried in time, they will easily cause diseases such as wind and cold.
In addition, they now have no food and water sources, and being hungry all night may be a torture for them.
For these, He Zhiran was prepared in advance.
She opened the oilcloth package in front of everyone, revealing the charcoal inside.
The moment the female members of the Mo family saw the charcoal, their eyes widened.
"Ninth brother and sister, what are you doing?"
He Zhiran had already thought of her words.
"I saw that Li Zheng's family had charcoal, and thinking that we might need it in the mountains, I kept the one tael of silver and took it away."
Mo Hanyue looked at her with admiration: "Sister-in-law Jiu, you are so amazing, you can even think of such things."
"Yes, sister-in-law Ninth, the one my second sister-in-law admires the most right now is you."
He Zhiran smiled at everyone, took out a fire folder wrapped in oilcloth from his arms, and lit the charcoal with Mo Jiuye.
At the same time, Mo Jiuye also praised He Zhiran for her carefulness.
The firewood on the mountain is soaked by rain, and even if it is found, it will not ignite. But with these charcoal, it is different. Not only is it easy to ignite, but it will burn for a longer time.
What He Zhiran bought was a quick-burning type of charcoal, which ignited easily without any effort.
Chapter 87 The dinner problem is solved
As the temperature in the cave gradually increased, the female relatives were warming their clothes around the fire.
It's a pity that the clothes are not easy to dry when worn on the body.
When Mo Jiuye saw this, he planned to go out and hide for a while.
Seeing that he was leaving, He Zhiran quickly stepped forward and handed two small bags of charcoal to him.
"Take these and send some to Brother Peng and others."
Mo Jiuye looked at the two small bags of charcoal with regret.
He carried the charcoal up the mountain, and he knew best how much it contained. Even if he didn't give it away, I'm afraid it wouldn't burn for long.
We don't even have enough for our own family, so we have to share it with others.
He Zhiran saw his confusion.
"Don't worry, I still have it there."
Mo Jiuye once again thought of the scene of a large number of items disappearing from the treasury, and suddenly felt confident in his heart.
"Okay, I'll send it to them right away."
After Mo Jiuye left, He Zhiran took the initiative to stand guard at the entrance of the cave and asked the female family members to take off their clothes and dry them quickly.
Gradually, the sky has turned dark, and the heavy rain still shows no sign of stopping.
Fortunately, the terrain here is high, and all the rainwater flows down the hillside without any accumulation of water.
Peng Wang sat in front of the charcoal fire and had to admire Mo Jiuye and his wife.
"Brother, you and your wife have the foresight. The mountain below must have been flooded by now."
Mo Jiuye was obviously worried.
"It seems that Li Zheng did not listen to your persuasion."
Peng Wang also sighed.
"I've said everything I need to say. Liu Lizheng is also stubborn and always thinks I'm being alarmist."
Mo Jiuye shook his head helplessly, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Zhang Qing saw the two chatting there and crowded over to join in the fun.
"Boss, although we may escape a flood, it doesn't matter if we stay in the mountains for a day or two. Will we starve to death after a long time?"
Peng Wang had never thought about this problem. At first, he only thought that he could hide in the mountains for one night and leave early tomorrow morning.
But looking at the heavy rain that continued, he felt unsure.
At this moment, Mo Jiuye suddenly stood up and strode to the entrance of the cave.
It is not difficult to guess what Mo Jiuye did, what must have happened.
The two of them came to the cave entrance together in tacit understanding.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Mo Jiuye made a silent gesture towards Peng Wang, and then said softly: "Brother Peng, please lend me your sword. I seem to have heard the sound of a wild boar."
Peng Wang was inexplicably excited when he heard that there were wild boars.
If they were the only officials there, he might be a little nervous. However, standing in front of him was the youngest God of War in the Dashun Dynasty, and he immediately felt his heart in his stomach.
Peng Wang took off Zhang Qing's waist knife and handed it to Mo Jiuye: "Brother, be careful."
Seeing that Mo Jiuye had already left the cave, Peng Wang raised his knife to follow.
"Brother, brother, help you."
At the same time, He Zhiran also heard the noise outside.
A smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself: The dinner problem is solved.
As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw Mo Jiuye's figure flickering and running towards the grass in front of her. Peng Wang, who was following behind, ran all the way but failed to catch up with Mo Jiuye.
Knowing that Mo Jiuye had taken action, He Zhiran simply returned to the cave entrance.
The rain was so heavy that if Mo Jiuye hadn't been acutely aware of danger, he might not have been able to detect the presence of the wild boar so early.
A howl of a wild boar was heard in the distance, and it was soon drowned in the heavy rain.
Not long after, Mo Jiuye and Peng Wang came back together dragging a black wild boar.
Peng Wang immediately called a few men from the other three families and ordered them to clean up the wild boar.
Only then did everyone notice that Mo Jiuye hunted back a wild boar in the rain.
It's good now, they don't have to go hungry at night.
At the same time, they also deeply realized the reason why Peng Wang took them up the mountain. It had been raining heavily for so long, and the bottom of the mountain must have been flooded by rainwater.
Everyone was a little lucky at the moment. Although they lost a lot of items, their lives were guaranteed.
It is estimated that after such a long time, the women's clothes were almost baked, and Mo Jiuye returned to the cave where his family was.
I heard that there was wild boar to eat, and the smiles on everyone's faces couldn't be stopped.
He Zhiran was more attentive. Seeing that Mo Jiuye's clothes were soaked again, she pulled him to sit in front of the charcoal fire and let him have a good roast.
At the same time, Mo Jiuye also noticed that there seemed to be more charcoal piled in the corner than before.
He took a deep look at He Zhiran, but the probing look in his eyes was much less than before.
It is estimated that he has seen too many of these strange things and has gradually become numb...
He Zhiran put up the tent and went out to pick up some branches.
There was no way, all the cooking tools were left at Liu Lizheng's house, and the wild boar meat could only be roasted and eaten.
No matter what, as long as everyone can fill their stomachs.
The officials were not idle either. In order to eat the pork as early as possible, everyone took out their daggers or waist knives and cut the wild boar meat into uniform pieces according to He Zhiran's request.
The female relatives are responsible for skewering all the wild boar meat.
He Zhiran was afraid that he would be too busy to prepare dinner for so many people, so he used all the charcoal fires in the three caves to be self-sufficient.
The officials and the other three families had no condiments and could only eat tasteless wild boar, but the Mo family was different.
He Zhiran has everything in his pocket...
If you have salt, you can also take out a small bottle of rapeseed oil.
Not only that, He Zhiran will also secretly sprinkle some seasonings that are not particularly strong when grilling meat.
I have to say that this dinner for the Mo family was absolutely delicious.
The He family still benefited from the heavy rain today, and for the first time they received the same treatment as everyone else.
The officials didn't have black-faced steamed buns for them to eat, so they couldn't let them go hungry. What's more, a wild boar has a lot of meat, which is enough for so many people to eat together.
Therefore, Peng Wang turned a blind eye and did not restrict their consumption of wild boar meat.
Everyone had just had a good meal and was about to take a rest when they heard a faint noise, accompanied by the crying of women and children.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked at each other.
"It should be those villagers." Mo Jiuye said firmly.
"Well, the situation at the foot of the mountain must be more serious than we thought." He Zhiran expressed her guess.
The cries and footsteps were getting closer.
When no one was paying attention, He Zhiran bought an antique wooden torch on Taobao, lit it, and gave it to Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye came to the cave entrance holding a torch.
Visible by the faint firelight, a group of people on the other side of the mountain road were walking in their direction.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye also heard the noise outside, Peng Wang trotted over quickly.
"Brother, I'm afraid the village has been flooded."
"Fortunately, they went up the mountain. The casualties should not be serious." Mo Jiuye responded in a deep voice.
Chapter 88 We advance and retreat together
As the two talked, the sounds of footsteps and crying got closer and closer.
The villagers saw the fire on the col's side and walked in their direction.
Not long after, a group of figures appeared in the vision blurred by the darkness and heavy rain. Looking carefully, the leader was none other than Liu Lizheng.
Peng Wang shouted: "Liu Lizheng, how is the situation at the bottom of the mountain?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Lizheng quickened his pace instantly. Before he could stand still, he said with a cry:
"It's all because I didn't listen to your advice. Now the village has been completely flooded, and less than 30% of the people have escaped."
At this point, Liu Lizheng started to cry, looking so miserable.
The same happened to the villagers behind, and their cries became louder.
All the villagers gathered in front of the cave. It was estimated that there were about forty or fifty people.
And most of them are young people, with only a very small number of old, weak, women and children.
It doesn't take much thinking to know that those who could not go up the mountain together must have perished.
Thinking of so many people dying in the flood, Peng Wang and Mo Jiuye felt sad.
It really lives up to that sentence - fire and water are ruthless!
Now was not the time to feel emotional. Peng Wang glanced around and made a decision immediately.
All the female family members went to the Mo family's cave. He took the officials and the male prisoners to the largest cave, and the cave where they were currently sheltering from the rain was given to the villagers.
Although it is a bit crowded, we cannot leave the villagers without a place to live.
After arranging everything, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran sent some charcoal to the villagers and asked them to dry their clothes first.
As for food, they haven't thought of a solution yet.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had just handed over the charcoal to Liu Lizheng when they suddenly heard someone from the villagers screaming.
"Li Zheng, my Li Tiezhu fainted, what should I do? The doctor in our village was washed away by the flood. Who can treat my Tiezhu..."
Hearing this, He Zhiran was the first to bear the brunt.
"I know some medical skills, why don't you let me help him take a look."
Liu Lizheng felt a little guilty when he saw that the person who came forward was a very young-looking woman.
He simply did not believe that such a young woman could know medical skills.
Peng Wang could see his dilemma at a glance.
"Liu Lizheng, the Mo family's wife is not an ordinary doctor. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a miracle doctor."
Seeing that Peng Wang had given himself the title of a miracle doctor, He Zhiran couldn't care less about being modest.
She urged Li Zheng: "The situation is urgent, don't delay any more." We still don't know the patient's specific condition. If the treatment time is delayed, a life will be lost.
Liu Lizheng still believed in Peng Wang's words. He quickly asked everyone to get out of the way so that He Zhiran could check Li Tiezhu's situation.
He Zhiran observed the patient through the firelight. After a while, she took a breath of cold air.
Li Tiezhu's unilateral subfrontal lymph nodes were swollen.
The first thing that made her think of was the plague.
He Zhiran looked at the villagers and asked, "Are there any of his family members here?"
"I am Li Tiezhu's wife." The woman who spoke was the woman who had just discovered that Li Tiezhu had fainted and asked for help.
Seeing that the woman was a little nervous, He Zhiran said seriously: "Don't panic, answer my questions seriously."
"good."
"Did he experience chills, high fever, severe headache, occasional vomiting and difficulty breathing before he became comatose?"
The Li family's wife kept nodding her head as she listened to the symptoms He Zhiran mentioned.
"What you said is correct. My Tiezhu has indeed had such symptoms in the past two days."
While speaking, the Li family's wife had already grabbed He Zhiran's sleeve and asked nervously: "Doctor, is my Tiezhu suffering from any serious illness?"
Judging from Li Tiezhu's symptoms, they are almost consistent with the symptoms of the plague.
In order to further confirm her diagnosis, He Zhiran turned to find Liu Lizheng, and she called Liu Lizheng aside.
"Liu Lizheng, are there many rats in your village recently?"
Liu Lizheng heard her mention the mouse and sighed deeply.
"Don't mention it. Although there were rats in the village in the past, the number was not very large. I don't know what happened recently. The number of rats has increased a lot, and they are also a lot bigger.
Just yesterday, I found several dead rats in the barn at home. "
After hearing Li Zheng's answer, He Zhiran's expression became more serious.
"Li Zheng, what Li Tiezhu got is probably the plague."
"Plague?" Liu Lizheng was stunned.
He was no stranger to this term.
He had heard of this disease more than 20 years ago, which occurred in a county hundreds of miles away.
At first, the imperial court sent many imperial doctors to treat the disease, but in the end even the imperial doctors were infected with the plague. Later, in order to prevent the plague from spreading further, the imperial court had no choice but to seal off the county town.
The poor people in that city either died of illness or were trapped to death. In short, none of them survived.
Thinking of this, Liu Lizheng's legs became weak.
"Doctor, no, goddess doctor, please save us!"
While speaking, Liu Lizheng was already kneeling in front of He Zhiran, kowtowing continuously.
Mo Jiuye stood at the entrance of the cave, realized something was wrong, and hurried over.
At this time, He Zhiran happened to help Liu Lizheng up.
Mo Jiuye asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
In order not to cause panic among the villagers, He Zhiran mouthed two words to Mo Jiuye: "Plague."
Hearing these two words, even Mo Jiuye, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but be shocked.
"How could this happen?" While whispering in his mouth, he was already approaching He Zhiran.
He Zhiran quickly stopped him: "Don't come over."
Mo Jiuye naturally understood her intention, which was that the latter was worried that she would be infected by the plague if she was too close to the villagers.
He was an upright man, how could He Zhiran, a woman, face it alone when faced with life and death.
Although he knew that he could not escape the fate of being infected, he still had no hesitation.
In fact, He Zhiran was not afraid of the plague.
In her previous life, she developed special Chinese medicine to fight the plague. As long as the infected person's condition did not reach the level of later organ damage, she could cure the disease with the medicine.
Unfortunately, before she could announce the good news, she accidentally traveled through time.
What was unexpected was that not long after she traveled here, the special medicine to treat the plague came in handy.
Although there are no medicinal materials for treating the plague stored in her space, you can buy everything in Taobao Mall, so there is no need to worry about it. The only problem is how the medicinal materials will be exposed to light in the cave.
Then Mo Jiuye came to her side and silently held her little hand.
Mo Jiuye's eyes were very sincere.
"We advance and retreat together."
He Zhiran saw that his words could not prevent Mo Jiuye from participating, so she simply accepted his company happily.
At the same time, she unconsciously shook Mo Jiuye's hand back to reassure him.
Chapter 89 Why don't we run away now?
Liu Lizheng begged again.
"Doctor Goddess, please!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the villagers who still didn't know what was going on.
He Zhiran reminded again: "I suggest you keep the plague a secret for the time being, otherwise it will become more serious if it causes panic.
Also, all of you may be infected now. In order not to affect more people, from now on, no one can leave the cave without my consent.
If you can do what I said, I will find a way to treat you. "
Hearing He Zhiran say that he would find a way to treat her, Li Zheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
He nodded repeatedly and assured: "Doctor Goddess, please don't worry, I will definitely not publicize this matter."
With Liu Lizheng's guarantee, He Zhiran used the cover of his cuffs to take out a pack of silver needles from the space.
At the moment, she is unable to prepare medicines to treat the plague, so she can only administer acupuncture to temporarily control Li Tiezhu's condition from getting worse.
I saw her skillfully inserting silver needles into several of Li Tiezhu's acupuncture points.
Mo Jiuye stayed by his side silently.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Tiezhu's breathing became much easier, but he was not awake yet.
He Zhiran put away the silver needle and told the Li family's wife.
"He should wake up within half an hour."
The Li family's wife thanked her profusely, thinking that Li Tiezhu was fine.
"Thank you doctor for saving my life."
He Zhiran originally wanted to tell her that Li Tiezhu was only temporarily relieved and was not completely out of danger.
But seeing Mrs. Li's relieved look, she still held back her words.
Moreover, He Zhiran believes that there is no need to isolate everyone at this time. Everyone who should be exposed has been exposed. To put it bluntly, if everyone present does not take preventive drugs in time, everyone may be infected with the plague.
He Zhiran stood up and solemnly pulled Mo Jiuye to the entrance of the cave.
"I need your help."
Mo Jiuye knew that the situation was urgent at this moment, and all he could do was cooperate fully.
"Just tell me what you need me to do."
He Zhiran briefly explained the method he thought of in a voice that only two people could hear.
Mo Jiuye nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go talk to Brother Peng right now."
Peng Wang had returned to Guan Cha's cave. When he saw Mo Jiuye coming over, he quickly asked, "Brother, how's it going over there?"
Mo Jiuye also didn't want the plague to alarm too many people, so he pulled Peng Wang to a secluded place.
"Brother Peng, my wife diagnosed that man with plague."
Hearing the word plague, Peng Wangdun felt his scalp numb, and even thought about the possibility that people like them would be infected.
Peng Wang's previous calmness no longer existed, but he stared at Mo Jiuye closely, as if he had made a lot of determination.
"Brother, why don't we run away now?"
Peng Wang understood the court's method of dealing with the plague, but no one who was infected was spared and all died.
Just because he knew this, Peng Wang was so frightened that he lost his mind.
He didn't want to be trapped somewhere waiting to die. If he escaped now, he would at least have a chance of survival.
Mo Jiuye came here not to inform Peng Wang to find a solution, but to take He Zhiran on a mission.
"Brother Peng, we can't leave."
Peng Wang was puzzled: "If you don't leave, do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
In fact, Mo Jiuye was also nervous because he still had so many family members here.
Once infected with the plague, no one could survive.
However, he was still willing to choose to believe He Zhiran.
"Brother Peng, my wife just said that when she went up the mountain, she saw some herbs on the mountain that might be able to prevent and treat the plague."
Peng Wang did not deny that He Zhiran had good medical skills. However, the plague was different from other diseases. Not only did it spread quickly, but the most terrible thing was that there was no cure.
"Brother, I know you are a man, but you also have to think about your family. If it can't be cured, won't we all have to die here?"
Mo Jiuye chose to believe He Zhiran. No matter what Peng Wang said, he did not change his mind.
"Brother Peng, just give us some time. I will accompany my wife to collect herbs. There is a flood under the mountain, and it is impossible for us to escape from here. Why not let my wife give it a try?"
Thinking of the flood at the foot of the mountain, Peng Wang realized that they really couldn't leave here.
Then, if you want to survive, you can only place your last hope on He Zhiran.
"Okay, go back quickly and be sure to pay attention to safety."
With that said, Peng Wang took two bamboo hats and handed them to Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye took the bamboo hat, gave Peng Wang a reassuring look, and turned to leave.
When He Zhiran asked for Mo Jiuye's help, he thought that his secret would be revealed to the latter again.
Putting aside whether she believed in Mo Jiuye's character, now that so many people might be infected with the plague, she had to put her secret second.
The two of them left the cave wearing bamboo hats and trotted over the way they came.
It was dark and the road was slippery. For He Zhiran's safety, Mo Jiuye held her hand and refused to let go.
He Zhiran thought that some of his secrets would be exposed anyway, and there would be no shortage of more reasons for people to be curious.
So, she took out a luminous pearl from the treasury directly from the space.
As soon as the night pearl appeared, the surrounding environment immediately became clear.
Mo Jiuye took a look at Ye Mingzhu and almost couldn't help but ask her where she got this thing from.
But think about it, there is no difference between her suddenly taking out the Luminous Pearl and taking out so many charcoal and other items.
She probably had something like a treasure bag, otherwise Mo Jiuye couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation for all this.
This was the first time He Zhiran had retrieved something from space in front of Mo Jiuye, and it was far beyond the scope of deceiving others.
Although she felt a little guilty, in order to prevent Mo Jiuye from asking questions, she quickly pointed to a piece of flat land not far away and said:
"where are we going."
Mo Jiuye nodded and walked in front to lead the way.
The two came to the open space He Zhiran mentioned, and suddenly a tent appeared out of thin air in front of them.
This is a military tent stored in He Zhiran's medical room. It is top-notch in terms of appearance and practicality.
Just when Mo Jiuye was stunned, He Zhiran had already pulled him in.
There was no heavy rain hitting me, and I felt much better immediately.
In order to prevent anyone from passing by again and noticing something strange, He Zhiran put the Night Pearl into the space after entering the tent.
"There are medicinal materials where I store the treasury supplies. In order not to arouse suspicion, let's stay here for an hour before going back."
Mo Jiuye nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Mo Jiuye was interested, He Zhiran took out two chairs from the space.
"You sit here and rest for a while while I prepare the medicinal ingredients."
After saying that, her consciousness entered the space.
This time, Taobao comes in handy.
While opening Taobao, she first checked the store's income in the past two days.
Chapter 90 Brothers and sisters, is this inappropriate?
The shop sold three more items in the past two days, and after deducting expenses, it earned 980,000 yuan.
After checking, He Zhiran quickly went to search for medicinal materials.
What she needs to buy now are freshly picked herbs. Only in this way will those people believe that the herbs were just picked from the mountains.
Fortunately, Taobao has everything you need.
He Zhiran can be considered wealthy now and has no pressure to spend money.
In a short time, she had purchased all the herbs she needed.
It was pitch dark inside the tent, and Mo Jiuye felt that his feet were suddenly covered by something.
When I reach out and touch it, it's all grass...
At this time, He Zhiran's slightly guilty voice sounded.
"We will go back with these herbs in a while."
"Can these herbs of yours cure the plague?"
It's not that Mo Jiuye doesn't believe in her medical skills, but the plague is too evil. If these herbs can cure it, wouldn't it be too simple?
"If it's not a severe disease in the late stage, you can recover after taking a few medicines. If it's like Li Tiezhu, you have to cooperate with my silver needles." He Zhiran said firmly.
Mo Jiuye took a deep breath.
"Just tell me what you need me to do."
He Zhiran spread her hands: "Now that we have the medicinal ingredients, you just need to help me cover it up."
"That's no problem, I will try my best."
The two fell into silence again until an hour later, He Zhiran put away the tent and returned with Mo Jiuye holding the herbs.
Peng Wang had been standing at the entrance of the cave since the two left, hoping that their return would bring good news.
After vaguely seeing two figures, he faced them in the heavy rain.
"Brother, have you collected the herbs?"
This is the only hope for everyone to survive.
"I got it." Mo Jiuye replied in a deep voice.
When he came to the two of them, there was no room for explanation. Peng Wang took the herbs from He Zhiran's arms and pointed to the cave where the villagers lived.
"I saw someone carrying an iron pot when they went up the mountain, and they went there to cook medicine."
Peng Wang didn't want to wait any longer, he just hoped that the sick people could be cured by the medicine.
When several people entered the cave where the villagers were holding herbs, Liu Lizheng anxiously told He Zhiran that after they left, several more sick people appeared.
The current symptoms are still in the stage of fever and vomiting.
Without doubting his presence, He Zhiran quickly asked Li Zheng to lead someone to place the large iron pot on the charcoal fire and prepare the decoction.
However, a new problem arises.
no water......
After all, Li Zheng was born and raised here, and he knew the environment in this area fairly well.
"Walking a little higher, there is a mountain spring there. You can go there to get water."
However, it was pitch black outside and pouring rain at this time, so how to get water became a big problem.
At this time, the most urgent thing in Peng Wang's heart was to survive.
"I'll take people to get water right now."
He Zhiran originally thought about using the method just now, going out for a while, and then getting some water back from the space.
Now that Peng Wang has come forward, she has saved herself some trouble.
Those who knew about it all understood the seriousness of the matter, so they acted without delay.
Peng Wang borrowed some water-filling tools from Li Zheng and called some officials to fetch water in the rain.
Less than an hour later, just when Mo Jiuye was a little worried and wanted to take a look, Peng Wang and others finally came back with water.
Liu Lizheng arranged for someone to cook the medicine. At the same time, He Zhiran also checked and asked about the current conditions of the villagers.
After the first pot of medicine was cooked, He Zhiran asked the villagers to take it first, and gave the rest to the officials.
It was the turn of the exiles like them to take the second pot of medicine.
The current situation is to treat those who are sick and prevent those who are not.
After everyone drank the medicine, it was already dawn.
Fortunately, the heavy rain had stopped by this time.
Peng Wang immediately sent someone down the mountain to check the situation.
The news brought back by the official was more serious than imagined.
The village has been flooded, all the houses have collapsed, and countless bodies are floating on the water.
Hearing this, everyone sighed.
When encountering such a thing, Peng Wang completely lost his mind. He even regarded Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran as his backbone.
"Brothers and sisters, do you have any good countermeasures?"
In this regard, Mo Jiuye also felt powerless for a while.
"In this current situation, I'm afraid we can only wait for the government to deal with it."
He Zhiran didn't think so.
"After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. Now there are people in the village who have contracted the plague. If those corpses cannot be disposed of in time, I am afraid that the plague will get out of control."
"What should we do?" Mo Jiuye and Peng Wang blurted out the same words at the same time.
"The best way is to fish the bodies ashore as soon as possible and then cremate them. This can effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic."
In He Zhiran's opinion, this is the most effective method of control.
Peng Wang and Mo Jiuye widened their eyes at the same time. They really couldn't accept the idea of cremating the corpse.
In the eyes of these ancient people, the dead are the most important, and only by being buried in peace can the living feel more at ease.
Cremating the corpse is the greatest disrespect to the deceased, and their relatives will not agree.
"Brother and sister, is this inappropriate?"
He Zhiran could understand his mood. It was not easy to change a person's deeply ingrained thoughts.
But for the sake of the overall situation, or for the sake of more people who survived, she could only continue to persuade.
"Brother Peng, I can understand everyone's desire for their loved ones to be buried in peace.
But think about it, if those corpses with viruses cannot be disposed of in time, in addition to emitting a strong putrid smell, they will also affect the air and water sources, and even cause more diseases.
Don't you think this is also a great threat to living people? "
After hearing what He Zhiran said, Mo Jiuye's original idea was immediately shaken.
"Right now, living people are indeed more important. If the plague spreads in a large area, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."
After all, Peng Wang is not a stubborn old stubborn, and he is also not ambiguous when it comes to interests and choices.
"Presumably this heavy rain is not just affecting this village. There are too many corpses. How can we deal with them?"
This problem is indeed very difficult, even He Zhiran has not been able to come up with a better solution.
What she just said was just a general suggestion. She had no idea how to implement it specifically.
In the end, Mo Jiuye made a relatively good suggestion.
"It's best to communicate with the government and let their people do it. Of course, the premise is that the officials in charge can be persuaded."
Peng Wang pondered for a moment: "Why don't I give it a try? I am quite familiar with the county magistrate here. I hope he is not pedantic."
At this point, He Zhiran felt that everything he could do had been done.
At present, it seems that the only way to go is Peng Wang who comes forward to persuade the county magistrate. As for whether the result is satisfactory, it can only depend on luck.
