Chapter 506: Someone Died

The villagers who had been chastised remained silent. They only stood there with pale faces as they were being criticized by those around.

Hearing this, the expressions of the people outside the village changed, especially Zheng Yulong. He glared at those people and shouted angrily, 鈥淒on鈥檛 talk nonsense!鈥?/p>

鈥淲e鈥檙e not talking nonsense鈥斺€?The villagers wanted to defend themselves, but when they saw Xu Ji鈥檚 expression, their mouths twitched a few times, and they resentfully shut up, not daring to say anything more.

Ye Zhen frowned as she looked at Xu Ji. 鈥淢aster Xu, don鈥檛 you think you need to ask clearly what they said?鈥?/p>

鈥淣onsense, do you believe them too?鈥?Xu Ji snorted coldly and shouted at the soldiers guarding the fence. 鈥淕uard them all, don鈥檛 let a single fly in.鈥?/p>

鈥淢aster Zheng, once this matter is over, I hope you can investigate the fake plagues of the past years,鈥?Ye Zhen looked at Zheng Yulong and said. Xu Ji had deliberately stopped them. Perhaps he knew the inside story and his doubts had something to do with this matter, so it was imperative for Zheng Yulong to investigate this matter.

Zheng Yulong nodded in response. In the past, he had had his conjectures, but now that someone had actually said it in front of him, he couldn鈥檛 sit idly by.

Xu Ji only snorted coldly and ignored him.

Ye Zhen glanced at the villagers and went back to the pavilion to continue brewing the medicine. No one knew what was going on in the village, but with Huangfu Chen and Qi Jin treating them, there shouldn鈥檛 be any problems.

The patients in the village didn鈥檛 have any problems now. Other than taking medicine every day, they were just hoping that they wouldn鈥檛 die from the illness.

鈥淢r. Huangfu, it鈥檚 24 hours already. Those patients don鈥檛 seem to be improving.鈥?A doctor looked at Huangfu Chen worriedly. Although they were well protected, they still feared being infected. Typhoid fever was not an ordinary cold that a few doses of medicine could cure. Too many people died of typhoid fever every year.

Huangfu Chen had not rested for a few days. He looked a little tired. When he heard that even the doctor was not confident in the treatment, he turned around and looked at them. 鈥淚f the patients in the city can be cured, so can the villagers.鈥?/p>

鈥淏ut there aren鈥檛 that many people in the city鈥?鈥?someone remarked shakily. 鈥淎lmost everyone in the village is sick. Look, there鈥檚 death everywhere. It鈥檚 scary.鈥?/p>

鈥淟et鈥檚 not talk about this anymore. Let鈥檚 continue with the medical treatment. We have given them the medicine yesterday. If they still have high fever today, we need to isolate them,鈥?Huangfu Chen instructed.

Now, even if they wanted to leave, they couldn鈥檛. They could only brace themselves to continue.

鈥淣ot good, somebody is dead!鈥?Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

Huangfu Chen鈥檚 expression changed. How could she die? Huangfu Chen immediately rushed over. The person who died was an old woman. Yesterday, he personally fed her medicine.

鈥淒id she vomit all the medicine she drank yesterday?鈥?Someone pointed at the water stains beside him and asked in horror.

鈥淭ake her out first and burn her body immediately,鈥?Huangfu Chen said in a deep voice. After the rain stopped, the weather had become increasingly hot. If the corpse was not burnt in time, it would lead to even terrible consequences.

Then, a few more people relapsed because they did not have the medicine yesterday. When Huangfu Chen gave them the medicine, they did not drink it.

鈥淒idn鈥檛 I tell you to give medicine to every patient yesterday? Why did you miss them?鈥?Huangfu Chen glared angrily at the doctors standing in front of him.

鈥淭here were so many people, it was impossible for us to take care of everyone鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淲e gave them the medicine but they refused to drink it.鈥?/p>

鈥溾€斺€斺€?As Huangfu Cheng listened, his expression turned gloomy. He sighed in his heart. 鈥淐ontinue to give them the medicine. Let them drink as much as they can!鈥?/p>

He still had to continue to check, he couldn鈥檛 count on these people anymore. Now, he went room by room, patient by patient. It was only when he made sure that everyone had taken the medicine that he was relieved.

鈥淢r. Huangfu, we were barely able to give them half a bowl of medicine. Do you want us to continue?鈥?a doctor asked.

鈥淕ive them another dose in two hours,鈥?he said hoarsely.

鈥淎ll right.鈥?/p>

The doctor standing beside Huangfu Chen glanced at him. 鈥淢r. Huangfu, you don鈥檛 look well. Do you want to take a rest?鈥?/p>

Huangfu Chen nodded gently. 鈥淚鈥檒l go to the house and rest a little. You guys better watch out.鈥?/p>

鈥淪ure.鈥?/p>

When Huangfu Chen left, the others looked at each other in dismay. They all saw worry on each other鈥檚 faces.

鈥淎re we really going to stay with these dying people?鈥?someone whispered.

鈥淲ell鈥?In the end, even if these people are saved, the credit would not belong to us. What if鈥?the ones who died was us?鈥?/p>

鈥淭hen what should we do?鈥?/p>

鈥淟et鈥檚 leave the village,鈥?someone suggested.

Everyone fell silent. There was none that did not want to leave, but if they left without permission, they could face severe punishment from the imperial court in the future.

鈥淚f we all leave, wouldn鈥檛 Mr. Huangfu be all alone? We all are doctors, are we going let him die without doing anything?鈥?the young doctor asked.

鈥淚f you want to stay, then stay. If you want to leave鈥?let鈥檚 go!鈥?a middle-aged doctor declared.

There were originally only ten or so people, but after hearing his words, more than sixty percent of them walked to the village gates without any hesitation. Two of the remaining four were hesitant, in the end, one finally followed.

The village gate was still heavily guarded. When Xu Ji saw that these doctors really wanted to leave together he slightly narrowed his eyes. 鈥淭he people in the village, no matter who dares to take a step out of the village, I will definitely kill them!鈥?/p>

鈥淴u Ji, what right do you have to kill people?鈥?the middle-aged doctor demanded angrily.

Xu Ji snorted coldly. 鈥淚 just rely on my knife!鈥?/p>

Ye Zhen looked at the retreating doctors and felt a chill run down her spine. 鈥淒octors, what鈥檚 the current situation in the village? If you leave like this, what will those patients do?鈥?/p>

鈥淭here鈥檚 no cure for typhoid fever. One of them has already died today, and there are still a few that can鈥檛 drink enough of the medicine. We鈥檙e just waiting to die if we stay inside. Why should we stay here to die? Why don鈥檛 you come in?鈥?someone shouted.

Those villagers who had been clamoring to come out heard this and rushed forward. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 want to die, let us out, let us out!鈥?/p>

The situation at the village gate instantly went out of control, and those who were blocked behind the fence began to bang against it trying to come out.

Ye Zhen was very worried. Master was still in the village. Doesn鈥檛 he know that these people have left? Why did he not stop them?

鈥淐ommander Xu, what should we do?鈥?Zheng Yulong anxiously asked.

Xu Ji sneered and walked over with the broadsword in his hand. He slashed at the two people standing at the very front. 鈥淲hoever tries to incite chaos again will end up like this!鈥?/p>
