The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The thing Jiang Muxia was most worried about finally happened when she was completely unprepared.

Fuzi had just changed her clothes and was wiping her wet hair with a towel. When she heard her call, she ran over to her side and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Jiang?"

Jiang Muxia looked up at his dripping hair and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and dry your hair, go back to the county and find your brother and Weidong."

She whispered to Fuzi what she wanted to confess. Fuzi's face darkened after hearing it. "Now that people are smelly, is there no one to take care of them?"

Jiang Muxia closed her eyes and shook her head, "Go quickly. The longer you delay, the more people will die. They will find a way to solve it."

Fu Zi was filled with anger and drove his carriage at lightning speed towards the county.

When passing the north of the city, he sped up and looked along the direction Jiang Muxia said. The scene in front of him was several times more serious than what she said. Men and women of all ages were lying casually on the street, and the stench choked him and made him hold his breath.

However, the county has clearly arranged housing for the victims, so why are there still so many of them sleeping on the streets?

When he passed by here the day before yesterday, he didn't see anyone on the street. But in just over a day, so many victims appeared. Where did they come from?

After a brief pause, Fuzi shouted "Gee", whipped his horse and drove towards the ferry.

Xu Da and Yin Yusheng were counting herbs in the backyard room when they suddenly heard a clang in the yard, followed by a flurry of footsteps rushing towards their room.

Yin Yusheng suddenly stopped, looked up at him with a vigilant look, and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

Xu Da raised his eyebrows helplessly. Who did this kid learn this from? He jumped over the wall to go home and became more and more unruly.

He smiled and said, "Nothing, that brat Fuzi is back."

Fuzi slammed the door open, took a breath, blinked to see who was inside, and said, "Master, something happened in the north of the city."

He told them that some of the victims on the streets in the north of the city might have died of illness. Xu Da frowned and stood up straight. "Maybe people from other counties heard that we distribute food every day, so they flocked here and slept on the streets because they had no place to stay. The weather is hot, and for various reasons, even if they got sick and didn't get timely help, it's not surprising that they died of illness."

"Master, what should we do? Sister Jiang asked you to go find Weidong. She said he is the only one who can help."

Xu Da and Yin Yusheng looked at each other. This girl had a lot of tricks up her sleeve. How could Weidong have any solution? It must be his money that had the solution.

The weather was hot, meals were not delivered on time, people had to sleep in the open air, and there was no clean drinking water.

Now that there are deaths, if they are not properly handled, plague will follow, and the people of the entire county will suffer.

"Okay, go back and let her rest assured. I'll take care of it."

After Xu Da and Yin Yusheng left, they went to the north of the city. He wanted to see for himself how far the situation had developed. Qingyi Gate was in the north of the city, so why had no one discovered it?

Holding lanterns in hand, the two men crossed the bridgehead in the north of the city and saw scattered disaster victims lying on the street. The further north they went, the more people there were and the stronger the smell in the air became.

The two men frowned more and more, and as they approached the street, they casually looked around and saw that some people had dense red packets on their bodies, and the scratched parts were bloody and showed signs of festering.

"There are too many mosquitoes." Yin Yusheng sighed.

The person in front of them probably heard the voices, and one of them sat up, grabbed the hem of Xu Da's clothes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you here to save us?"

The two men didn't speak, and they didn't know what to say. From his accent, they could tell that he was from the next county.

The people of Suanzao County are almost out of food. The government knows where they come from and will definitely drive them out of Suanzao County. According to Feng Nian's way of doing things, it is not a problem to take their lives.

"Are you the people of Yangguan County?" Xu Da asked.

"Yes."

"Is there no one in your county to take care of you? Why did you go all the way to Suanzao County?"

"Hey!" The lantern shone on his face. The man was about fifty years old, with red and swollen eyes. His tattered clothes could no longer cover his body, and his exposed skin was covered with red spots of varying sizes.

The man had a miserable face and a hoarse voice. "If someone cared, why would we come here?" Tears welled up in his eyes. "But we came here. The people distributing porridge heard that our accents were not from this county, so they refused to give us food. They ignored our pleading and beat us out. It was the porridge stall at the entrance of the alley ahead that gave us a meal, so we settled here."

Xu Da and Yin Yusheng were surprised. It was okay for the rich families in the city, but wouldn’t the porridge stall set up by Weidong provide them with porridge?

The porridge distribution plan they had discussed at the beginning was to treat all the victims equally.

The man wiped his tears and continued, "But people started dying since yesterday afternoon. We gathered all the dead people in one place." He pointed to an open space further north, where there was a towering hill covered tightly with tattered cloth. "They were all there. They all died of illness. They had fever and diarrhea, but we had no money or medicine. We watched them die one by one. No one cared about us, and we didn't know who to look for."

He smiled sadly, his bony face looked uglier than crying, "In two days, I will die here." He covered his face, tears leaked out from between his dirty fingers.

Xu Da and Yin Yusheng didn't say anything. They didn't know what to say.

"Brother Xu, let's go take a look. There are so many mosquitoes flying around, spreading germs. We have to burn these bodies, otherwise the plague will break out."

"Let's go, I'm in charge, let's burn it now."

The mountain of corpses piled there is like a huge source of infection. The more there are, the more dangerous it is.

The two men endured the stench and came to the pile of corpses. They lifted the rags and a swarm of mosquitoes and flies flew up. A foul odor hit their faces, making them feel nauseous and almost vomiting.

The next moment, he quickly covered the rag. Xu Da held his breath, took out a fire starter from his arms, and lit a corner of the rag.

The weather was dry and a spark appeared, which spread like a torch and quickly rose to more than ten feet high.

The flames dyed the surrounding sky red. As the fire grew bigger, the stench of rotting flesh and burning skin in the air made it difficult to breathe.

Because the pile of corpses was close to the shop, the two men were afraid that the fire would be too big and burn down the shop.

He watched the fire from a distance and waited until the fire died down before leaving.

Behind them, many disaster victims gathered unknowingly, and the sounds of crying and sighing were endless.

Some even ran to the fire, knelt down, held their heads and cried out people's names. Their relatives must be inside.

"Burn it, burn it, burn it all, burn us too, God is blind."

Some of the younger men who were acting angry took out their anger on the two of them and rushed over with their fists raised.

The two of them dodged and tried to persuade them earnestly.

"We burn the bodies because we are afraid of the outbreak of plague. Let me ask you, if I give you a piece of rotten and smelly meat and ask you to eat it, will you eat it? Do you know that after the mosquitoes and flies bite these bodies, they will crawl on you and bite your flesh, and you will die faster than if you eat the rotten meat and get the disease."

Xu Da raised his voice, "I am a doctor, the owner of the Xu Family Tavern in Dukou. I ask you, are you willing to die willingly?"
