The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 204 A plague breaks out
Jing Li suddenly became nervous: "What happened?"

"A plague has appeared over there in Jinzhong!" Wan Baoquan said with a panicked expression.

Jingli was shocked: "Plague? What plague?"

"I don't know. It is said that I had a headache at first, and then my limbs became weak and my joints couldn't move freely. Then there were red spots on the body, vomiting and diarrhea, and sudden fainting."

"Boss Chen also heard from a delivery boy who came back. He doesn't know much about the specific situation. He said that many people have died and he doesn't dare to go out anymore. He has been stocking up on food for the past two days and is preparing to stay locked up!"

After Wan Baoquan finished speaking, he saw Jingli's pale face and no reaction for a moment. He was also very worried. He had never seen Jingli like this before.

"Ali, this is"

"Plague! Nine times out of ten, it's the plague!" Jing Li was horrified. The plague in this era was a major plague. Two dynasties in history were almost wiped out because of the plague.

Jing Li came back to her senses: "Quick! Call Doctor He back quickly!"

He Ziyu came over in a hurry, and immediately gave Wanbaoquan and others a dose of medicine to drink, and then quickly notified the people who built the fields and the houses to come back for an emergency meeting.

Thanks to the fact that I have been working on cement for the past few days, I basically wear a mask. Wan Baoquan just spoke from a distance, so he still has some common sense.

Jingli was worried and quickly took out a detoxification pill and took it, then isolated Wanbaoquan and others who had taken the medicine.

"Uncle Dafu, go to Beishan Village and tell everyone to gather at the drying yard!"

"Before calling people, check first. Who has been out in the past two days? All those who have gone out must be registered. Do not let them go out with their families!"

"Everyone in our family now wears a mask. Mom, put on the extra masks you made!"

Jing Dafu put on a mask and carried a broken gong and went to Beishan Village. When Lao Wangli saw Jing Dafu shouting so urgently, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately called people from his house to the drying yard.

The villagers of Lao Beishan gathered at the drying yard and whispered to each other: "What's going on? Are you screaming so urgently all of a sudden?"

"Why are you calling us out? When will it be the turn of the people from Beishui Village to speak about our Beishan Village affairs!"

"That can't be said. Maybe something happened. They are all at the foot of Laobei Mountain. If anything happens, who can escape!"

"That's right, the Liao people came at that time. If it weren't for the people from Beishui Village, we don't know how much disaster we would have suffered."

"Even if something happens, we are all upright. Why do we have to listen to them?" Third Aunt Wang looked at everyone with disdain. They are a bunch of sycophants. They don't know what benefits they have given them. How can God give it to them? People say nice things.

On the high platform of the drying yard, Mr. Jing and Mr. Wang Li were sitting on each side, with Jing Li standing in the middle.

Jing Dafu banged the gong a few more times: "Everyone, please be quiet. What we are going to talk about now is a matter of life and death. Everyone, listen carefully!"

As soon as they heard that it was a matter of life and death, everyone calmed down and looked at the high platform quietly.

"A plague has broken out in Jinzhong, and most of the people have died. If one person in a village is infected, the whole village will be wiped out. Now, do you have time to listen to me?"

As soon as Jingli finished speaking, the villagers below were all horrified. Naturally, they were no strangers to the plague.

Most of the migrant households in Beishan Village moved here from other counties. The reason is that there was a great plague more than ten years ago, and all ten houses were empty. Those who survived had no choice but to move to the foot of Lao Beishan.Lao Beishan is far away from the city. It is remote and sparsely populated, so it has not been affected by the large-scale plague.

When they talk about the plague, they naturally think of the plague a few years ago, which makes their hearts tremble.

Jing Li looked at the crowd below and continued: "Since everyone knows something about the plague, I won't talk nonsense."

"This plague is most likely caused by the plague. Older people may know how dangerous the plague is. The specific origin of the plague. Doctor He will explain it to you in detail later!"

"Now, what I want to say is that although we are two villages, we are surrounded by mountains and rivers. If something happens to one of us, no one can escape."

"Therefore, no matter what you think in your heart, whether you are convinced by me or not, it is up to me to have the final say this time. If anyone does not listen to my advice and insists on going his own way, then don't blame me for being unkind."

Third Aunt Wang pouted from below: "A girl, Pianzi, just cares about her own family's affairs, and yet she reaches out to us. Isn't her control too lenient?"

The woman next to her didn't say anything. What did such a fool do to her? Didn't you see that the people in the village were trying to get close to the Jing family? Who wouldn't want to earn more when they were looking for people to work for? Bits and pieces of money.

You can also do part-time work in the city, but there are so many people in the city and the competition is huge. You have to travel hundreds of miles back and forth. If you don’t make money so close to your home, why travel so far away?

When Third Aunt Wang saw that the woman was ignoring him, she was a little annoyed and went to talk to someone else.

Lao Wangli could see clearly from above and stomped his cane: "His third aunt, if you don't want to hear it, just get out of here, go back to your parents' home or go to the city. If you don't want to live, the people in our village are not alive yet." That’s enough!”

Third Aunt Wang suddenly frowned: "Second Brother, what are you talking about? We are a family, and our village is not without integrity. Why should we listen to a girl who has no rules?"

Jing Li whipped out the long knife at her side and stuck it on the ground: "My rules are to keep everyone alive. If anyone feels tough and insists on challenging my rules, let alone the fact that they are all at the foot of a mountain and don't care about the lives of the folks in my hometown. !”

"Now everyone should go back, close the door, wash all the sheets and bedding, and take a bath for both adults and children."

"Use all the medicine that Doctor He prepared to kill mosquitoes, lice and fleas."

"There are also decoctions to prevent the plague. Give them to me to drink for seven days in total. During these seven days, no one is allowed to go out for any reason and everyone is asked to stay at home!"

"Seven days later, Dr. He can only go out after checking that there are no problems!"

Someone asked in a low voice: "This is mosquito medicine, lice medicine, and anti-plague medicine. How much does it cost?"

Jing Li looked at the crowd and said: "These medicines are not cheap, you should know that, but we don't charge a penny, why? Everyone must know it, don't work hard and there are still people who have to rush to make it, then I can’t help you guys!”

Lao Wang Lizheng also stood up and said: "Everyone, listen to my advice. My short-lived nephew was not a human being and did a lot of evil. To be honest, as an uncle, I feel guilty for being Li Zheng."

"Let's not talk about the past, but let's talk about the present. The people of Beishui Village are righteous. They provide medicine and help to let everyone get through this disaster safely. Everyone should be more sensible and don't cause trouble."

"There is a lot of work in the fields right now, so we are very busy, but nothing is more important than human life. It's only seven days. Let's all stick to these seven days. If everything goes well, let's go out again, okay?"

Some young people then asked, "If we don't go out, what if there are relatives and friends who come to seek refuge?"
