After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 65 Burning the Village
Wang Zhiyang pursed his thin lips unwillingly, closed his eyes after a while and nodded.

What can he do with his broken body now?

After packing up some Wei Xingzhi's favorite food and some thick clothes, he told Ma Huai to take good care of Wei Xingzhi when he arrived.

The sky was covered with a layer of haze, the north wind was blowing the fallen leaves, and there was a burst of crying above Chengguan Village.

It's been ten days, and the so-called expert hasn't reappeared once, and he can't find it after searching all over the mountains and plains. Even the famous doctors gathered here and there are helpless against the red plague.

Wei Xingzhi sat slumped on the wooden chair, his eyes were full of red blood, and there were thick black and blue under the eye sockets, his whole face had lost a lot of weight.

"Ah Zhi, if this delay continues, the outbreak of the epidemic in Chengguan Village will become more serious, so we can't delay any longer." Zhou Han's face was not much better.

The faces of the people sitting in the room were solemn, Qin Changbai clutched his sleeves, "Xingzhi, when you stop, you will stop. It has been delayed for ten days."

In the past ten days, none of those people got better. Instead, after seven days, they died suddenly and died in a more terrifying appearance, which instantly aroused the panic of all the people in Chengguan Village.

Wei Xingzhi had no expression on his face, and kept stroking the lines on the armrest with his fingers.

More than 500 people have died in Chengguan Village. This damn epidemic has left everyone devastated, and there is nothing they can do about it.

"Cheng..." Wei Xingzhi's voice was very hoarse as soon as he spoke, "How many people are there in Chengguan Village?"

"The three of them in 480." Qin Changbai replied, biting his lower lip, "Ah Zhi, we can't release them anymore. The last time Xue Ting released people who seemed to be uninfected, it almost caused a catastrophe."

"Then should we let them die there..." Wei Xingzhi's eyes were dull, and his lips murmured softly.

Zhou Han walked to Wei Xingzhi's side, and held her blood-stained hand that had become rough due to the hard work of the past few days, "Ah Zhi, you have tried your best."

Wei Xingzhi's eyes were slightly red, but he turned his head away and remained silent for a long time.

The conclusion drawn by all doctors is to burn the village, burn the village?How many people died in her hands?But if the village is not burned, the situation will only get worse. These lives are different from those on the battlefield...

The soldiers on the battlefield were determined to defend their homes and the country, but these common people only wanted to live.

"Boom boom boom——"

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw a five or six-year-old girl doll wearing a double-ring bun and coarse linen clothes, looking at Wei Xingzhi timidly holding a cup of soup.

Wei Xingzhi straightened his body, "Sannier, you can't run around now, go home and stay well."

Sannier carried the soup and walked towards Wei Xingzhi in small steps, "Sister Xingzhi... This is the medicinal soup my mother made for you. My mother said, you have worked hard."

Wei Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, looking at the steaming soup, he gradually softened.

She raised her hand and touched Sannier's head, "Thank you mother for me."

Sannier held the soup pot and handed it to Wei Xingzhi, "Sister Xingzhi is about to drink it. After drinking it, she will be energetic. Only when she is energetic can she lead my father to do great things."

Wei Xingzhi had a sore nose and almost shed tears, "Okay."

"Sister Xingzhi, then I'll go back... I'll stay at home obediently and won't cause you any trouble. When you're free, remember to come to my house. My mother is still thinking about making roast chicken for you." , the little girl ran out quickly.

Wei Xingzhi looked at Sannier's figure with a dazed expression. The medicinal soup in his hand was not like herbal medicine, it was fragrant and mellow.

Zhou Han took the medicinal soup in her hand, stirred it gently with a spoon, and gently brought it to her mouth, "It's good to eat some, I lost so much weight, and I will be scolded later."

Wei Xingzhi took a sip in a daze, then sniffed, as if he had made up his mind.

"Burning the village." She said two words calmly.

The ceramic pot in Zhou Han's hand almost fell to the ground. He thought it would take a long time to convince Wei Xingzhi.

Wei Xingzhi stood up, "You are right, if you stop it, you will stop it. If you drag it on, more people will die. Tonight... burn the village."

Everyone persuaded Wei Xingzhi to give the order, but after the order was given, everyone hesitated again.

The decision to burn the village was handed over to the court, and the court also issued a decree. If the situation is serious and out of control, the worst and most effective method since ancient times will be implemented.

At midnight, the night wind was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were whirling.The upper part of Chengguan Village was filled with a miasma of smog because of the continuous burning of corpses for several days. The stench of corpses accompanied by the stench of insects permeated the air, making it suffocating.

Wei Xingzhi's thin figure stood outside Chengguan Village. Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Yuan led Jin Wei to pile up flammable straw and kerosene outside the village. Her hands were clenched into fists by her sides, and her veins bulged.

It was chosen at night because they were afraid that they would rush out desperately if they knew about the burning of the village, so that they would be spared some pain.

Zhou Han and Qin Changbai stood beside her, looking at her stern side face involuntarily.

Wei Xingzhi opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Check, at all costs, find out the source of the red plague bug."

If it is really a barbarian...she will definitely avenge this blood.

Zhang Yuan threw the torch on the straw, and with a 'squeak', the tongue of flame was ignited by the kerosene, and it shot up all of a sudden, and in a blink of an eye, his eyes were all red.

The entire Chengguan Village was instantly engulfed in flames, and black smoke billowed upwards. Wei Xingzhi clenched his hands. She seemed to hear those disgusting insects being burned in the fire, crackling and exploding, and also seemed to hear the surviving people in the village. crying for help.

She raised her head and looked at the round moon above her head. Today is the fifteenth day. It was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but she became a sinner.

Black smoke covered the bright moon, and from a distance, we could only see the raging fire. Wei Xingzhi's throat was dry, and he lowered his head, covering his dark eyes. It took less than a month from the beginning of the epidemic to the outbreak and then to the end.

"Look at it, I'm going back."

Wei Xingzhi turned around, braced himself, and walked on the uneven road step by step, even forgetting to ride the horse.

Qin Changbai was about to follow, but Zhou Han stood in front of him, "She feels bad, but she wants to be strong, let her stay alone for a while."

Wei Xingzhi walked back to the Ganqi mansion step by step in this way, until she returned to the room, screened everyone away and closed the door, and she fell to the ground as if she lost her strength, and tears fell from her scarlet eyes.

She clenched her hands, her nails sinking into her palms, resisting the urge to cry.

"Master Wei, we trust you, you saved us, we will not go anywhere."

"Master Wei, thank you for saving my two children. From now on, you can do whatever you want. You are a good official, and all of us are willing to listen to you."

"Master Wei, my daughter-in-law can call someone. Come and see, she really likes you. She cries when she sees everyone, but she doesn't cry when she sees you. She knows that you are her benefactor..."

　I really feel sorry for Azhi.
