Chapter 339: Picking Up Another One
Xiao Huai left, and left with a large army, leaving only Xu Jin with a hundred brocade guards and a hundred people, as well as ten truckloads of supplies. Of course, the six or seven hundred refugees who had gathered were also forcibly taken away by Xiao Huai, and it was impossible to leave them behind to threaten Xu Jin and the others.
As soon as the army left, the surroundings suddenly became empty, and the sun was already in the west, and it was estimated that it would be set in a few hours. Xu Jin did not delay, and immediately ordered a hundred people to enter the village to clean up the corpses, and the Jinyi guard also took half of the help, and the rest was responsible for guarding the guard.
After nearly an hour of busyness, more than 70 corpses were cleared out of the village, all of which were piled up in a mountain forest near the village, and the stench of the corpse mountain was high up.
Xu Jin asked the people to bring everything that could be burned in the village, and then burned the rotting corpses, and the remaining bones were sprinkled with quicklime and buried on the spot.
When everything was done, it was already evening, Xu Jin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked the people to set up a pot to boil water, and then everyone soaked Qinghao in hot water once, if the conditions permitted, Xu Jin even wanted to soak everyone once with vinegar. Even in modern times, after the catastrophe, the people of the national health and epidemic prevention department will put on protective clothing and spray disinfectants everywhere, not to mention in ancient times when medical conditions were backward, once a plague occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Jin himself soaked his body in hot water once, and vinegar was added to the water, as a chincha, he was still eligible for this treatment.
"Lord Xu, it's getting dark, where are the brothers camping tonight?" Jin Biao asked respectfully, but there was a trace of contempt hidden in his eyes, it was estimated that Xu Jin's caution was regarded by him as being afraid of death.
Xu Jin was wiping the firecracker, but did not immediately answer Jin Biao, he skillfully added iron sand to the gun, stuffed the greased paper ball to block the gun, and then added gunpowder to the medicine drum.
Jin Baihu's eyes couldn't help but light up, as the so-called experts knew if there was one as soon as they made a move, Xu Jin's technique of operating the fire gun was skillful and pure, and he was obviously an old bird who was used to the fire gun, which was really rare among civil officials.
Jin Baihu suddenly remembered at this time that it was rumored that the new science detective Hualang in front of him had led his troops to fight with the rebels under King Ning, and fought a bloody battle in Leadshan County for seven days and seven nights, and in the end he won more with less, and now it seems that the rumors are true.
Xu Jin pretended to be a good firebolt, raised his head and looked around, at this moment, dozens of refugees had accumulated near the grain truck, and several of their faces were familiar, it was estimated that Xiao Huai had sneaked back from the group of refugees, after all, there were too many refugees, and it was impossible to keep an eye on them all.
Xu Jin tucked the fire gun on his waist and said lightly: "Let's live in the ancestral hall in the village tonight!" ”
There were so many people dead in the village, and those people, and even Jinyiwei were reluctant to live in the village, but because of Xu Jin's identity, they didn't dare to object, so more than 200 people drove the grain truck into the village, and those refugees hurriedly followed.
Although the corpses in the village have been cleaned up, there is still a residual smell of corpses and a choking lime smell. The ancestral hall in the village is relatively well preserved, and the key is that the wall has not collapsed, and it can still play a certain defensive role. However, the ancestral hall does not have a gate, and it is estimated that it was demolished by the villagers as a wooden raft to escape.
Xu Jin had people use torches to light wormwood, fumigated the inside and outside of the ancestral hall, drove away snakes, rats, mosquitoes and flies, and sprinkled quicklime in front of and behind the house, and then pushed the grain cart into the courtyard outside the ancestral hall.
Just as the people were making a fire to make dinner, Er Niu ran back from outside, carrying a bucket in one hand and a little boy of six or seven years old in the other. ”
"Dasil cow, you're a fart, don't put gold on your face." Several brocade guards scolded with a smile.
Erniu is an honest person, and during this time, he followed Xu Jin and became familiar with the Jinyi lieutenants who accompanied the guards, and these Jinyi guards liked to make fun of him.
At this time, Xu Jin walked out of the house, and when he saw the little boy held by Erniu, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Erniu, what's the matter?" ”
Erniu replied honestly: "Just now I went to the river to fetch water, and found this little guy fainting in the grass, his forehead was very hot, and it was estimated that he had a fever. ”
Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, don't it be a plague, and hurriedly asked Erniu to put people on the ground. The little boy in front of him was about six or seven years old, with a cupola bun, a flushed face, eyes half-open and half-closed, and calling his father and mother in a daze.
Xu Jin sighed lightly, he recognized this little boy, wasn't it the little kid who received relief in Shouzhang County yesterday, why did he come here?
Xu Jin stretched out his hand and touched the little boy's forehead, it was very hot, it seemed that it was very badly burned, fortunately there was no trace of vomiting, otherwise Xu Jin would not dare to touch it directly with his hands.
"Lord Xu, it shouldn't be a plague!" Jin Baihu swallowed his saliva.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people and Jinyiwei all changed their complexions, and subconsciously covered their noses and retreated, and Erniu's face was also green, and he slapped his clothes hard, as if he could slap away the germs on his body.
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Calm down, the plague is generally accompanied by vomiting and ulceration. ”
"Lord Xu, you can't say that, the plague usually starts with a fever, and then it begins to appear red spots on the skin...... "A man with a terrifying look in his eyes, as if recalling a terrible past.
"Nonsense...... I'm just ...... It's not a plague, it's just a cold in the rain! The little boy suddenly struggled to sit up, and the people around him stepped back further in fright.
"Ahem, ahem!" The little boy coughed lightly a few times and said weakly, "Xiao Chai...... Tiger! ”
Xu Jin was slightly stunned and said, "What did you say?" ”
"Xiao Chai Hu...... There is a small chaihu by the river, and I will be fine if I fry it three times! ”
Only then did Xu Jin understand that the little boy was talking about Xiao Chai Hu, which is a Chinese herbal medicine for treating wind and cold, and hurriedly said to Er Niu: "Er Niu, do you know Xiao Chai Hu?" ”
Erniu shook his head blankly!
"Stupid, right where you picked me up, slender leaves, grass with small yellow flowers!" The little boy coughed violently.
"Oh, that grass, I'm going to pick some back!" Erniu was honest, but he didn't care that the little boy said he was stupid, so he turned around and ran out.
Xu Jin frowned, this little kid is not very old, but his temper is not small, he seems to be very good at herbal medicine, what is the origin?
After a while, Erniu really picked a large cluster of plants with small yellow flowers and came back. After reading it, the little boy nodded and said, "That's it, half the amount, three bowls of water are fried into one bowl of water." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but become interested in this little boy at this time, instructed Erniu to decoct the medicine, squatted down and asked, "What is the name of the little brother, and what is the family doing?" ”
The little boy glared at Xu Jin coldly and said, "I know you, you are in the same group as those dog officials!" ”
Jin Baihu's face changed, and he shouted: "Little thing, you dare to insult Lord Qincha, Lao Tzu sees that you are impatient, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife." ”
The little boy's face did not change, and he blinked and said, "Are you Qincha?" Qincha from the capital? ”
Xu Jin's heart moved, and he nodded: "It's like a fake!" ”
The little boy asked: "Is that your official university, or those official universities in Shouzhang County!" ”
Jin Baihu sneered coldly: "I am ordered to be sent to Qin, and I see the third level of the official, and I will make decisions on small things and play big things." Who do you say? ”
The little boy said happily: "Lord Qincha, the little one looks like a good official, can you cut down the dog officials of the fish and meat people in Shouzhang County?" ”
Xu Jin said quietly: "There are many officials in Shouzhang County, who are you referring to?" ”
"I'm not a local, I don't know the officials of Shouzhang County, but they are definitely not good officials!"
Jin Baihu couldn't help but be angry, and scolded: "You little rabbit cub is itchy and looking for pastime, you don't know people, how do you know people's fish and people?" ”
The little boy then told what he had seen and heard in the City God Temple in one breath, Jin Baihu was silent after hearing it, but Xu Jin frowned. When he entered the city that day, he met the county government to send food and money to help the victims, Xu Jin had a gut feeling that he was putting on a show, but now it seems that it is true, and the money and grain sent to the victims changed hands and was confiscated back by the officials.
Of course, this does not rule out that the officials below did it privately, so just based on the words of the little boy's family, it cannot prove that these immoral things were done by the county commander Ma Debing.
Xu Jin was about to ask again, when a brocade guard came over and said, "My lord, the situation is a little bad, there are a lot of refugees outside." ”
Xu Jin and Jin Biao glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked to the door of the ancestral hall to take a look, and their faces suddenly changed slightly. At first, only a few dozen refugees followed, but by this time, the open space outside the ancestral hall was full, and the number probably exceeded 200.
"His grandmother's, so many, more than all of us combined, my lord, the situation is not good!" Jin Baihu looked solemn and authentic.
Xu Jin's heart couldn't help but mention, the speed of the increase in refugees is too fast, the key is that he doesn't bring much food, if he doesn't have enough distribution, God knows what these refugees will do.
"Don't cook yet, don't fry the medicine, wait until it's completely dark and the fire will regenerate!" Xu Jin said decisively.
It's not completely dark yet, and the fireworks for cooking will attract a steady stream of refugees from the neighborhood, and if the number of refugees exceeds your own by too much, then you and others will be in danger.
Jin Baihu immediately ordered the people to stop lighting the fire, and the effect of this was very obvious, but the number of refugees was still slowly increasing, and it was estimated that the refugees at the scene had notified their relatives and friends.
By the time it was completely dark, there were as many as 300 refugees gathered outside the ancestral hall. Jin Baihu couldn't help but gasp, only then did he understand how wise Xu Jin's choice was to let everyone camp in the ancestral hall, otherwise even if nothing happened tonight, he would not be at peace.
Of course, it's just three hundred weak refugees, and Jin Baihu doesn't care about it yet, if these mud-legged people really dare to rebel, they don't mind letting them taste Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife. ()
