Chapter 523
Villages with big surnames generally use this surname as the village name.
So when Yanshi and his men stood in front of the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, the only thing they could see was the word "Lijia Village".
Li Village had already finished reading all the things on the paper given by Yanshi, and also taught the villagers who were arranged clearly. After asking them to go to the west of the village to count the situation of the villagers who were infected with the disease, he quickly followed Yanshi and watched him staring at the stone tablet in their village, as if he was curious. Li Village was quickly smiling and said, "This stone tablet is said to be the village that was established by the village at that time when our Lijia Village settled here. It is almost two hundred years since now!"
"It's been two hundred years..." Yan Shi murmured calmly, and then said again: "But looking at the stone tablet, you are protecting it well!"
"That's that's it!!" Li Cun was nodding quickly, saying proudly: "This is the name of our village's monument after all, so we naturally need to take care of it well, so people will be arranged to clean it up every day."
Yanshi nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Li Village and said, "Your village is very particular! We have visited so many villages and towns before, but we have never seen anyone like your Lijia Village..."
When Li Cunzheng heard this, he immediately smiled a little brighter: "This is also what our ancestors asked, we just need to do as our ancestors told us!"
Yanshi nodded and looked in the direction of the village: "Does it take a long time to count people with all symptoms? There are many seriously ill people in your village now?"
"It won't take much time!" When Li Cunzheng heard Yan Shi's words, he immediately expressed his serious expression and said to him: "I asked them to join together and only recognize one symptom. After they went there, everyone would just ask themselves the symptoms they recorded and they could quickly count the number of people..."
"Yeah!" Yanshi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked again: "How many of you who are infected are seriously ill? Do you know that Muramasa?"
"It's over half!" When Li Cunzheng heard about Yanshi's question, he sighed deeply, looking very sad. "Every day, several people die because of this disease, and new people who are infected will be sent over... Benefactor, don't know how I look at it! It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable... If it's just a common disease, we can still ask the witch doctor or the Su doctor to treat it well, and at least save everyone's lives! But this disease... Let's take out all the property of everyone in the village, and they do whatever they can... Listening to the villagers' crying of their loved ones every day, I, the village, feels so uncomfortable than cutting it with a knife. I hate that I can't do anything!"
Yanshi looked at the expression of Li Cunzheng in front of him with a painful expression, but for no reason he thought of what Wen Yeyan said. He felt that Li Cunzheng's expression, which should have been in great pain in his eyes, looked a bit too exaggerated...
Well, those tears seem to be squeezed out!
Yanshi blinked his eyes, but he didn't look at comfort at all. He couldn't help but reach out and touch him. Then he pulled Yanshi's thoughts back and asked him to change into a sympathy. He said to Li Cunzheng: "Don't be too sad, it's not your fault... I can only blame the epidemic for being too fierce!"
"Isn't that!" When Li Cunzheng heard Yan Shi's words, he immediately raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Then he quickly said, "It was still fine the first day. Everyone was still discussing to guard the village well and try not to go out. It saves the epidemic from coming back and harming the people in the village. Who would have thought that several people fell ill the next day and went to invite Master Su to see it. The Master Su was so scared that he ran away directly... Only then did I realize that this epidemic was not something we could say that we could block it!"
"Then have you found out how this epidemic came into the village?" Yanshi was a little curious.
"I don't know!" Li Cunzheng shook his head to Yanshi very simply and said, "We only know that some people say they are sick! They have also checked whether those people were out during those days, but they didn't! I felt that their disease suddenly appeared... and then it became out of control..."
"Then, since the outbreak of this epidemic, how many people have died in the village?" Yanshi turned his eyes and asked at Li Village.
"How many people died?" Li Cunzheng didn't seem to have expected Yanshi to ask such a question. He was stunned. Then he frowned and recalled, "That's how he counted, there are more than 300 people!"
"More than 300 people?" Yanshi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number. More than 300 people died in just a few days? Wen Yeyan said that the death in this village was very strong, maybe it was because of this, right?
"More than 300 people, dozens of them are gone!" Li Cun was browsing with a worry, looking extremely uncomfortable. "We heard that the epidemic is rampant in Biyang, but we really didn't expect that the epidemic is so powerful..."
Yanshi nodded silently and wanted to ask again, but he saw that the villagers who were sent by Li Village to count the infected people had returned and hurriedly came towards Li Village. He soon stood several meters away from them and reported all the counted people.
Li Cun memorized it carefully several times in his mind, then he looked at Yanshi and asked, "My benefactor, this number has been calculated. Are you going to give them medicine next?"
"Send it!" Yanshi nodded, looked at the people who were cooking medicine, and then said to Li Cunzheng: "It's better for them to send the medicine. The people they counted themselves can remember it clearly."
"Yes!" Li Cunzheng nodded without hesitation, and told the people to be careful, so he asked them to find food boxes quickly, put the bowls of soup in, and immediately sent them to the sick people in the west.
