Chapter 366
Cui Shichang was so excited that he even forgot to ask the identity of the visitor.

At this time, he didn't care about their luxurious clothes, he only knew that the man in charge didn't claim to be his own official.

And the faint smell of medicinal herbs in the carriage occupied all his attention.

I heard from the villagers that since the two batches of medical officers sent by the imperial court died of the plague, two batches of private doctors came one after another, and they all ended up dying of illness.

The medicinal materials they brought have long been exhausted, and now less than half of the villagers are left in the village, and nearly [-]% of them are sick.

There is a lack of medical care and medicine, and the villagers are too busy to take care of themselves, allowing the corpses of other people's homes to be piled up in front of their homes or on the road.

Now there is not only smallpox in the village, but also various other infectious diseases, which spread very quickly.

There are many people with skin ulcers, and there are not a few people who died of dysentery.

Cui Shichang carried a handful of wormwood into a relatively neat adobe house, twisted the dried wormwood into straw handles, lit it and threw it everywhere to smoke the house.

People have died in this house, and the smell of corpses is slightly weaker than other houses. Fuming with wormwood can drive away reptiles and make the house smell better.

He took a broom made of bamboo branches and threw most of the furniture to the side of the door and burned it.

He found a hatchet from the stove as quickly as possible, and was about to go back to the carriage park, but he found that two carriages had already come here.

"Oh, I'm delaying you all. The sundries in the house are all used, so I'm afraid it's not clean. I'm going to cut some bamboo and come back to build some simple tables and stools for you."

He looked at the four people who got out of the car in embarrassment. Although he lived in the military camp all year round, he also lived in the market when he was not in the army.

These people are not ordinary people at first glance.

"The tables and stools can be chopped up with some bamboo to make do with it, but this bed, I also decide to burn it, so I can only wrong you to sleep on hay."

"It's okay, we've brought our bedding." Jing Yunyan pointed to the carriage, "Go and inform the villagers of Li Village first, and come here to gather for a consultation and get medicine in half an hour."

"It's so good!" Cui Shichang held a long stick and fiddled with the furniture in the fire, sweating profusely from the scorching sun and the fire,
Suddenly remembered something, and grinned a little embarrassedly, "I haven't asked the righteous men about Gao's name."

It's really rude for people to come to Li Village without fear of death, and even forget to ask for their names.

"My surname is Jing, this is my wife. The one over there is Mr. Zhou, and the one with him is Miss Yu." Jing Yunyan returned to him while unloading his things.

Shu Yingtong carried the wooden box and looked around the house, and had to say that he had good eyesight.

There is a distance from the houses of other villagers, so it is relatively quiet.

Although it is an adobe house, it is covered with tiles. It seems that the previous owner had some spare money. It seems that it has just been renovated within a few months. The doors and windows have been washed and varnished again.

It's just that when the plague came, people also went.

"Zhou Chi and Yu Cunxin put the things back together. Ah Yan and I went to look around. The situation in this village is not right." Shu Yingtong put down the box and pulled Jing Yunyan out.

Looking at the surrounding villagers before, they felt that the situation here was really bad.

Those people were only in slightly better mental condition, but they all had blue complexions and sunken eye sockets.

If you guessed right, it should be the pollution of the water source, coupled with the extremely poor sanitary conditions, which led to a sharp decline in people's resistance.

"No, I can do it alone." Yu Cunxin waved his hand, carrying a sack in one hand and walked into the main room, "Let the dog cough. Let Zhou Chi go chop bamboo with that chief."

It's okay to bark in private, but you should give the dog man some face in front of outsiders.

"Okay, then let's go first."

Shu Yingtong and Jing Yun said their purpose was very clear, and asked Cui Shichang where the villagers got water so they could go out.

The village is very large and there are several public water wells, but those who do laundry or are too lazy to line up for water have to go to the river.

A small river is not far from the end of the village. It looks clear and sparkling in the sun.

Shu Yingtong continued to walk up the river, and stopped after walking about two miles.

A gust of wind blows, and the stench fills the nostrils.

From a distance, you can see piles of corpses, all kinds of clothes are dark brown, and the flies and mosquitoes flying all over the sky are twice the normal size.

Some corpses are so decomposed that the facial features cannot be discerned, and a closer look can scare the timid to pee.

It's a big hole, a big unburied hole.

Judging from the body language of some of the corpses, some were not dead when they were transported to this pit.

What's more, crawled out of the pit, and finally died by the river.

Before Shu Yingtong walked in, he had already put on gas masks for himself and Jing Yunyan, the smell was too smoky.

Jing Yunyan put on medical rubber gloves, checked the cause of death of the corpses by the river, and found that the dead had all suffered heavy blows to the head.

I probably fell into a coma on the spot, and when I woke up, my first reaction was to crawl outside and find water to drink.

As a result, there were many corpses in the shallow water by the river.

In all likelihood, the source of water pollution is here.

Shu Yingtong's brows were tightly furrowed, as if human lives were worthless, some officials treated the people in the epidemic-stricken area as human beings at all.

This is the small village marked without words on the map.

Because there were only [-] or [-] households, the plague was more serious, and after the closure of the village, it was still uncontrollable, so all the villagers were simply executed to report the death of the whole village.

The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. In order to save trouble, the petty officials at the bottom didn't even bother to finish the process, so they just dumped the corpse in the wilderness.

If this place is not treated, the people in the nearby villages who drink the water from this river will all be in a state of illness for a long time.

As for this mountain of corpses exposed to the wilderness, it is inevitable that another plague will break out in the coming year.

Leaving this place, Shu Yingtong took the gas mask and gloves back to the space for Sasha to deal with, looked at Jing Yunyan who had been silent for a long time, and sighed.

"I know you are feeling uncomfortable, but this is also expected in advance, but I didn't expect the scene to be worse than we imagined."

"That's the people of Dali." Jing Yunyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "It's not a pig or a dog."

There are old people, middle-aged people, immature children, and even pregnant women.
The woman curled up by the edge of the pit tightly hugged a baby who was not yet one year old
These people, not yet dead, are forced to accept death.

"Let's take care of what's in front of us first, and then take care of those dog officials. If we don't kill a group of dog officials, I'm afraid we won't be able to settle public grievances!"

Shu Yingtong seldom swears.

In his previous life, he was a loner who was very indifferent to human life. Since becoming the head of Huanshan Village, he has had different emotions.

There was no big difference between the mountain of corpses and her villagers. They were all ordinary people who only wanted to have a peaceful life, eat enough, wear warm clothes, and hope that their children and grandchildren would have families.

At the same time, they are also ants under the class.

Who said ants have no right to resent?
She just wants to seek justice for these ants!
"It is precisely because of the entanglement in the officialdom that these sluts try to find ways to rise up and corrupt more officials. Instead, honest officials are suppressed and squeezed out. Corrupt officials say they don't know what it means to be in harmony with others, but honest officials are not ashamed to join them. .”

"Ah Yan, if the superior has the absolute courage to scrape the bones to heal the poison, those dog officials will also consider the price of breaking the law. Anyway, Da Li is already a piece of rotten meat with maggots, why don't you use this time to completely scrape these Carrion."

The high-ranking officials have been cleaned up almost, and the remaining mosquitoes and flies are the most painful cancers for the common people.

These officials are not irreplaceable.

Cancerous tumors should be dug up.

It will bleed, it will heal, and new flesh will grow.
