The villagers who were accused did not say a word. They just stood there with pale faces and were scolded by others.
The people standing outside the village entrance had changed their faces when they heard this, especially Zheng Yulong. He looked at the villagers gloomily and shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"We are not talking nonsense!" The villagers wanted to defend themselves, but when they saw Xu Ji's face, they shut their mouths resentfully and did not dare to say anything more.
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Xu Ji. "Master Xu, don't you think what they said needs to be clarified?"
"Nonsense! Do you believe them?" Xu Ji snorted coldly and shouted to the soldiers guarding the fence, "Guard well, don't let a fly in!"
"Master Zheng, after this matter is over, I hope you can investigate the fake plague in previous years." Ye Zhen looked at Zheng Yulong and said. Xu Ji deliberately stopped them. Maybe he knew the inside story and suspected that it was related to this matter. Therefore, it was the most appropriate to let Zheng Yulong investigate this matter.
Zheng Yulong nodded. It was just a guess before, but now that someone had said it himself, he naturally could not sit back and ignore it.
Xu Ji just snorted coldly and ignored him.
Ye Zhen glanced at the villagers and went back to the pavilion to continue cooking medicine. None of them knew what was going on in the village, but with Huang Fuchen and Qi Jin treating them inside, there should be no problem.
The patients in the village were indeed fine now. In addition to taking medicine every day, they were full of hope that they would not die because of the disease. ()
"Mr. Huang Fuchen, it has been a day, and those patients don't seem to be getting better." A doctor looked at Huang Fuchen worriedly. Although they had done a good job of protecting themselves, they were still afraid of being infected. Typhoid was not an ordinary cold that could be cured with a few doses of medicine. Too many people died of typhoid every year.
Huang Fuchen had not rested for a few days, and his face looked a little tired. When he heard that even the doctor had no confidence in the treatment, he looked back at them and said, "The patients in the city can be cured, and so can the patients in the village."
"But there are not so many people in the city," someone said tremblingly. "Almost the whole village is sick. Look, it's lifeless everywhere. It looks terrible."
"Don't say these words. Continue to follow up. Everyone drank medicine yesterday. If there is a serious fever today, separate them." Huang Fuchen ordered.
Now, even if they wanted to leave, they could not. They could only continue.
"Not good, someone died!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Huang Fuchen's expression changed. how could someone die? Huang Fuchen immediately rushed over. The person who had died was an old woman. Huang Fuchen had personally fed her medicine yesterday.
"Did she spit out all the medicine she drank yesterday?" someone asked in horror as he pointed at the dried water stains on the side.
"Carry her out first. Burn her body immediately." Huangfu Chen said in a deep voice. After the rain stopped, the weather became even hotter. If the corpses weren't burned in time, it would lead to even more terrifying consequences.
Then, several people's conditions worsened because they didn't take the medicine yesterday. When Huang Fuchen fed them the medicine, they couldn't take it anymore.
"Didn't I tell you to feed every patient the medicine yesterday? Why did we miss them? "Huangfu Chen angrily looked at the doctors standing in front of him.
"There are so many people, it is impossible for us to take care of everyone."
"We gave them the medicine, but they didn't drink it."
"…" Huangfu Cheng listened to their words with a gloomy expression. He sighed in his heart. "Continue to give them medicine. Drink as much as you can!"
He still had to continue the inspection. It was no longer possible to count on these people.
Huang Fuchen checked every room to make sure that everyone had taken the medicine today. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Mr. Huangfu, we barely gave them half a bowl of medicine. Do you want more?" a doctor asked Huangfu Chen.
"Feed them again in two hours," Huangfu Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"Yes."
The doctor standing next to Huangfu Chen glanced at him. "Mr. Huangfu, you don't look too well. Do you want to rest first?"
Huang Fuchen nodded lightly. "I'll go into the house for a while. You guys keep a close watch."
"Go ahead."
After Huangfu Chen left, the others looked at each other and saw worry on each other's faces.
"Are we really going to stay with these dying people?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Even if these people are saved in the end, the credit won't be ours. What if we are the ones who die?"
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's leave the village," someone suggested.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Everyone wanted to leave, but if they left without permission, they might face severe punishment from the imperial court in the future.
"If we leave, won't Mr. Huangfu be the only one here? We are all doctors. Are we really going to leave them to die? "a young doctor asked.
"Those who want to stay stay. Those who want to leave, let's go!" a middle-aged doctor shouted.
Originally, there were only about ten people, but after hearing what he said, more than 60% of them followed him to the village entrance without any hesitation. Among the remaining four people, two were still hesitant, and finally, one followed them.
The village entrance was still heavily guarded. When Xu Ji saw these doctors wanting to leave together, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Anyone in the village, no matter who you are, if you dare to take a step out of the village entrance, I will definitely kill you!"
"Xu Ji, what right do you have to kill people?" the middle-aged doctor asked angrily.
Xu Ji snorted coldly. "Because of my saber!"
Ye Zhen looked at these doctors who retreated at the last minute and felt a chill in her heart. "Doctors, what is the situation in the village now? If you leave like this, what will happen to those patients? "
"There is no cure for typhoid. One died today, and there are several more who can't be fed with medicine. We are just waiting to die if we stay here. Why do you want us to die? Why don't you come in?" someone shouted.
The villagers who were clamoring to come out also rushed up when they heard this. "We don't want to die! Let us out! Let us out!"
The situation at the village entrance suddenly went out of control. The people who were blocked behind the fence began to hit the fence in an attempt to get out.
Ye Zhen was very worried. Master was still in the village. Didn't he know that these people had left? Why didn't he stop them?
"Lord Xu, what should we do?" Zheng Yulong asked anxiously.
Xu Ji sneered, walked over with the big saber in his hand, and slashed at the two people standing at the front. "Whoever dares to incite and create chaos will end up like this!"
