A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 266 Give them 7 days

When people heard this, many of them lowered their heads guiltily. These people really had such thoughts, but they felt a little embarrassed when they were exposed like this.

Hang Shuheng didn't want to judge whether they were right or wrong in having such an idea. He turned to the head of the village and asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"

"Shuheng, this is no small matter. I'm afraid we need to think about it carefully." The head of the village said with a sigh.

He was also a little undecided. He also disagreed with what Doctor Ge said about burning Shitou, the child, or the entire Sun family to death in the fire. But if the villagers were finally determined to get rid of the Sun family, he would not be able to reverse the situation by himself.

Hang Shuheng saw that he was in trouble, and looked at the people around him who were concerned, and said quietly: "Even if it is really smallpox, there is no reason to burn people alive. What's more, it is very likely not smallpox. If you don't even know what the disease is, but conclude that it is smallpox and then burn people alive, that is to take human life lightly and will be punished by God."

As soon as the words fell, many people shrank back. It was obvious that these people were also afraid of retribution.

"I agree with Shuheng."

A voice interrupted from the back of the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw He Tiesheng limping over, walking very slowly. Now, he can walk without the help of crutches, but he still can't walk very well.

"Please put yourself in their shoes. If this happened to you today, would you also want yourself and your family to be burned to death?"

"That's right." The old patriarch also came late. He had a general understanding of the situation. He didn't trust anyone else but Hang Shuheng. "Shuheng, you always have a lot of ideas. Do you have any suggestions for today's matter?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Hang Shuheng. It would be great if he could have a good idea to solve this problem. They were all from the same village, and who would want to sacrifice the lives of another family for no reason?

Hang Shuheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Seven days. Give them seven days, and they should get better. If they still don't get better after seven days, we can only report it to the government and ask them to send a doctor to diagnose it. If it is really smallpox, then how to deal with it is not something we ordinary people can decide."

He heard from Song Ning that the child had chickenpox, and chickenpox usually shows significant improvement in five to seven days, and the rash on the body will also scab over.

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Hang Shuheng said, "During these seven days, we can isolate the Sun family and seal the gate. The village will send people to take turns guarding outside and not let the Sun family leave the yard."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. They whispered to each other for a while, and then someone stood up and said, "I agree with Shuheng's suggestion."

Soon, more people stood up to second the motion, and the matter was finally settled based on the plan proposed by Hang Shuheng.

The village head began to arrange for people to nail up the Sun family's gate with wooden boards. He then shouted in the yard, "Sun family, I hope you don't blame us. After all, this matter has hidden dangers, and we are all considering the whole village."

The entire Sun family was in the courtyard. Although they were angry, they could understand their feelings after talking it out. They blamed their family for being unlucky and having to deal with such a thing. As for that quack doctor, they would definitely go out and settle accounts with him after the crisis was resolved.

After the Sun family’s gate was sealed, the village head arranged for seven days of shifts of guards and then let everyone go.

Song Ning pulled Hang Shuheng to the edge of the field and cut a large handful of lantern grass. Hang Shuheng also dug some white grass roots.

Back outside the Sun family's yard, they threw it in from the top of the yard wall. They knew what to do with the lantern grass, but they didn't know how to use the white grass root. Song Ning taught them to boil water with white grass root for the children to drink, which could reduce fever. At the same time, she also told them to stay at ease, and she would help with the arrangements outside. The Sun family was very grateful for this.

The guards outside saw what the couple did and couldn't help but wonder, "Shuheng, what are you going to do with these vines?"

They did not hide anything and explained the functions of those herbs in general. Everyone was amazed and felt that they knew a lot because they had read a lot, unlike them, who could not read a single word and knew nothing.

"If you ask me, if we have a headache or fever in the future, it is much more reliable to go to Shuheng and his wife instead of going to that doctor Ge."

"You are joking. We only know some medical knowledge, but we can't treat illnesses. If you are really sick, it is better to see a doctor in time."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, they left. Song Ning turned around and went to Shuisheng's house, and told Xu to come from the county town in the morning these few days and buy an extra portion when buying food. The Sun family would be isolated for a few days, and someone had to help prepare meals for the whole family.

So, in the next few days, every evening when Xu was about to return to the county town, she would go to the top of the wall of Sun's house to ask about the food she needed to bring the next day, and then when she came back from the county town in the morning, she would throw the food into the yard from the top of the wall.

This would make the people who were guarding outside every day envious. It turned out that the Sun family, except for not being able to go out and move around freely, lived a pretty comfortable life.

At the foot of Ming Mountain, there were four dusty young men standing there. They were Xiao Yun and his group of four.

After they left the city overnight that day, they rode non-stop towards this side. After rushing all the way, they finally arrived at the foot of Ming Mountain. Six days had passed since they set out from the capital.

"Ha, we're finally here!" Chu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, except for resting at night, he had been riding horses almost all day long, and his butt was almost numb from the shaking.

When he turned his head to the side, he saw that his cousin seemed tireless and was looking at the direction of the entrance of Poison King Valley with an expressionless face.

"Cousin, should we take a break before entering the valley?" We have been traveling all day and are feeling hungry. Perhaps we can have a good meal first before entering the valley.

But Xiao Yun disagreed. It would take a long time to enter the valley. It was already the end of noon. If they stopped and wasted time, they might not be able to enter the valley after dark.

There are many poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts in this dark mountain area. It is even more dangerous at night. It is best to enter the valley early.

Besides the danger of walking at night, he was actually quite impatient to see the little guy as soon as possible. After being separated for so long, he wondered if the little guy still remembered him.

Thinking of this, he was actually a little bit nervous. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the little guy didn't remember him?

"Just bear with it for now, and go into the valley first."
