Chapter 278 The Incident
"Your Highness, there are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and a lot of food down there!" The soldiers who went down were all stunned. They had never seen so many good things. After being shocked, they reported it immediately.

Mu Junze glanced at Zhao Ziji coldly, without saying anything else, jumped in and checked for himself.

Although he was mentally prepared, Mu Junze was still stunned by the sight in front of him.

This cellar looks to be about the same size as the backyard of the county government office. At a glance, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, with layers of rice bags!
Opposite the rice bags, there are rows of camphor wood boxes, neatly stacked together. I don’t know if the top few boxes have just been opened. The various pearls and agates shine so brightly that people can’t open their eyes.

"A rich official from a poor country, oh, I have seen it today!" Xuan Chengzhi, who followed down, said angrily.

"Bring all the food in, remember the quantity, and settle the accounts together then!" After Mu Junze finished giving his instructions, the soldiers started to move their hands unceremoniously.

The government officials and soldiers above did not know what was going on. They only saw bags of rice being brought up from below, as if by magic, and they all looked around with wide eyes.

At this time, Zhao Ziji was distressed and frightened, like thousands of ants gnawing at his bones, and almost fainted.

The people at the gate of the county government soon burst into cheers. They were proud to receive the food smoothly, and everyone's faces showed joy.

At this time, the situation in the resettlement area for the victims was exactly the opposite.

The woman's heart-wrenching cries cast another layer of horror in the resettlement area just after nightfall.

Ouyang Ling, who had just been pulled over by Dou An, had just taken a breath when she heard such crying, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Who is it? It's so late at night, so scary!" Ouyang Ling patted her chest to calm down her shock, and pushed Dou An hard: "Who are you? You run so fast! What the hell is this place?"

"It's still a place where people live now." Dou An said sadly: "But... it may soon become a ghost place..."

"What did you say?" Ouyang Ling said bravely while looking at the surrounding situation: "This girl is not scared."

The crying didn't stop. The two looked for the sound and found that it was coming from a tent on the side. At this time, people were already leaving the tent one after another, pushing and shouting about something.

Dou An pulled Ouyang Ling closer, but there was another wailing sound next to him, which almost pierced the eardrum.

Ouyang Ling's heart trembled. The sound was really like the howling of an animal. It was full of sadness and despair. She had never heard such crying.

Another tent not far away also became noisy.

"He's out of breath, that kid's out of breath!" The person who came out shouted in panic.

"What's going on over there?" The people in the two tents began to ask each other.

"A child is gone, how pitiful! His grandpa is the only grandson left..." The man couldn't bear to say any more.

"What's going on? How come it's gone?" People expressed regret and sympathy, but more importantly, they were confused and uneasy.

"Who knows? It is said that I had a fever for a few days, and then I started coughing. I couldn't breathe after coughing and coughing!"

"The same goes for the child in our tent!" When everyone gathered together, it was not difficult to find the common cause of the child's death. However, this did not alleviate their panic at all, but made them feel even more weird.

An older man said tremblingly: "Such a similar disease, could it be..." Before he could finish speaking, another shrill cry passed through everyone's hearts.

Everyone ran towards the direction of the crying and asked about the situation.

The news they received made everyone shiver: an old woman had just passed away. Her symptoms were exactly the same as those of the two children, except that the fever was not high and the cough lasted a little longer.

"It's an epidemic!" After the old man said that, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

After a moment of dead silence, someone shouted "It's over!"

"The disease is contagious..."

Everyone came to their senses, worried about their situation.You know, they all came out of those tents just now, wouldn't it be...possible that they have been infected?
The whole resettlement area started to become noisy. Everyone was worried about whether they would be infected. A chain of contempt had quickly formed among the refugees: those who were not yet sick despised those who had fever or cough, and said nothing. They did not want to be in the same tent; and all the people in the tent where a patient had died just now were collectively disliked by the refugees in other tents.

"Take them elsewhere!" Someone suggested to the soldiers guarding here: "Otherwise more people will die!"

As soon as this statement came out, many healthy people immediately echoed it.

And those who have already contracted the disease feel very uneasy, wondering whether they will be thrown out like garbage.

On the contrary, no one cares about the patients who have just died.

The cries of relatives were gradually drowned in the noisy noise of the crowd. Dou An pulled Ouyang Ling to a tent that people avoided. The haggard old man hugged his recently deceased grandson tightly. In his arms, his eyes were dull, and two lines of turbid tears were still flowing silently on his cheeks.

"It's all grandpa's fault for not being able to find medicine for you!" the old man murmured to himself in a tearful voice.

Dou An glanced at Ouyang Ling: "It depends on whether your Shangshan Chamber of Commerce can provide life-saving medicine for tens of thousands of people!"

Ouyang Ling looked away from the grandfather and grandson, and sneered: "You tired me to death just to bring me here to arouse my sympathy? I'm sorry, this girl has no sympathy at all. "

Dou An stared at her again and again with a puzzled look on his face, until Ouyang Ling became uncomfortable: "What are you looking at?"

"I think you don't look like a woman anymore!" Dou An said very seriously.

"You..." Ouyang Ling kicked him directly. Dou An didn't expect it, but fortunately he was quick and managed to avoid it. He said angrily: "Hey, a gentleman talks but never touches!"

Ouyang Ling glanced at him and said casually: "First, I am a woman, not a gentleman; second, I moved my feet, not my hands!"

Dou An twitched his lips: "Okay, what you said seems to make sense." Then he grabbed Ouyang Ling's hand and said, "I am not a gentleman, so I will take you somewhere else."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Before Ouyang Ling could react, she was grabbed by Dou An again and "flyed" out without touching the ground.

"Despicable villain..." Ouyang Ling's curse quickly disappeared into the whistling wind...

In the Xinzi County government office, all the people waiting in line had received their food. After a hard day's work, everyone was exhausted.

However, Xuan Chengzhi didn't even take a break and was about to return immediately, because there were still many soldiers and migrant workers there, waiting for food!
