The child's mother was the first to fall. Even though he immediately brewed the medicine and gave it to the rest of the family, it still did not prevent him from being infected.

Now their family is fine except for their eldest son, who stays in the same room by himself every day, but everyone else is infected, and people are dying every day. The eldest uncle and his family have not escaped, and even the child's mother left early in the morning. He carried it out early in the morning and buried it behind the house.

Now we have food, but we have no life to eat it.

Zhang Dali regretted it, but he blamed it on not taking any chances and listening to his mother-in-law's words, which ended up harming the whole family.

Now I just hope that my son will be safe and sound and leave a root for the Zhang family.

He was also infected and ran out of medicine, and had no strength to go up the mountain to collect it. Zhang Dali simply let his eldest son carry most of the food to his house. They were destined to never recover, and there was no need to waste food.

But life will always be unsatisfactory, and it will not go as planned. Just when Zhang Dali felt that he was about to cough out his lungs, his eldest son was also infected. Although the symptoms were very mild, he was already vomiting. Symptoms such as dry cough disappeared. Zhang Dali suddenly felt that his life was dark. He spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled his eyes.

Until a few days later, the unpleasant smell of corpses came from the Zhang family's yard, and there had been no signs of Zhang family activity for a long time, but no one dared to approach.

Qin Shu looked at the Zhang family's adobe house from a distance with a solemn expression.

The smell of corpses was so obvious, which meant that the people inside had been dead for more than a day or two. The weather was now the peak breeding season for mosquitoes and flies. If... Qin Shu couldn't help but tremble.

We can't let it explode, we have to find a way to solve it, otherwise even if the Zhang family is dead, they won't be able to escape.

"father……"

Qin Shu told his father about his worries one by one. Qin Dagen shivered again when he heard this, and then he didn't dare to delay telling other families in the village about his son's worries.

Thinking of the power of mosquitoes and flies, everyone couldn't sit still. After discussion, they finally decided to burn down the Zhang family, otherwise they would have to live in fear every day.

Without further ado, the big guy, who was fully armed, picked up a lot of firewood from outside and threw it all into the Zhang family's yard.

But before that, I still shouted loudly into the yard many times, but unfortunately no one answered.

At this moment, Zhang Goudan was lying in his room, turning his head with all his strength, looking towards the place where the sound came from, with a desire for life in his eyes, but at this moment, it was difficult for him to even move, and his throat was even worse. The pain was so severe that I couldn't even do a simple action like opening my mouth. I looked at the firewood thrown in the yard and the several kilograms of grain in the corner of the house, and finally closed my eyes unwillingly.

Regret gnawed at him like maggots in his bones. If...if he hadn't helped his mother to persuade his father at that time, wouldn't it be different?

But there are no what-ifs in this world... Soon a thick smoke entered the house, wrapping Zhang Goudan's entire body.

The fire burned quickly, and people kept throwing firewood into the yard and onto the house. Soon the entire Zhang family was wrapped in flames. The fire burned for a long time, for a full two hours, and only the adobe was burned. The strong smell of corpses on the walls also disappeared with the fire.

Fortunately, there were no other residents around the Zhang family, and there was no wind, otherwise such a big fire would be really uncontrollable.

In short, everyone involved breathed a sigh of relief. They stood far outside the wreckage of the Zhang family house. No one came close. Even though no one was sick due to the fire, everyone was still very scared.

"Is everything okay?" Qin Zhuang said to the scattered villagers.

"It must be fine," another person said, as if convincing himself or others.

"Okay, let's all disperse. Don't forget to iron your clothes in boiling water and wash them well when you go back," Qin Dagen reminded.

Everyone looked at the ruins of the Zhang family's house with confusion, shook their heads, sighed, and soon dispersed.

Qin Dagen also returned. When he got home, Li had already put several buckets of boiled water in the yard for washing and ironing clothes.This time the Zhang family was burned. In order to protect the rest of the family, one person from each household was required. Of course, no one was allowed, but firewood had to be provided.

Qin Dagen washed and ironed himself thoroughly before daring to approach his family.

But things were not as everyone thought, the Zhang family would disappear without the plague. Someone in the village was still infected after the third day.

For this reason, every household smokes mugwort more frequently in order to prevent mosquitoes and flies. It is obvious that they are most likely the source of infection.

But even though everyone's protection measures have been very strict, people are still getting infected. Now everyone in the village is in danger and they don't even dare to go to the fields.

The same is true for Qin Shujia. Fortunately, their home is still safe for the time being and they are not infected.

"His father, why don't we go out and hide." Ms. Li was really scared, not because she and the child's father were infected, but because she was afraid that something might happen to her three children.

Qin Dagen was also very panicked. He thought that it would be safe to go to Qin Village if the Zhang family was gone, but who would have thought that he still didn't escape.

The child's mother is right, going out and hiding is indeed a solution.

"Where can I hide? How about going to the mountains."

Qin Dagen really couldn't think of going anywhere except the mountains.

Not to mention that the plague is rampant now, even in the past other villages would not accept strangers, even if there was someone in the village as a guarantor.

"On the mountain..." Whenever she thinks of the horrific things happening on the mountain, Li's face is filled with lingering fear.

"But what about our land?" Qin Lu frowned.

After working so hard to plant four or five acres of land, we couldn't just throw it away, and now the seedlings have grown very long.

"It's okay. The seedlings in the field are growing very well. We just need to come over every now and then to help with weeding and catching insects."

"Your father is right. We just need to work harder. I'm afraid on the mountain... there must be a lot of people who think the same as us, so it may not be safe."

Qin Dagen really didn't expect this. After all, the mountain is not a good place to go, but you can't just find an empty place to live. It's too unsafe.

"Dad..." Qin Dagen was worried and Qin Shu said, "Dad, I have thought of a good place to go."

"Where?" The couple stared at their eldest son intently.

"Huajia Village."

"It's the Huajia Village where your classmate lives." Qin Dagen suddenly realized.

The classmate Qin Dagen whom my son talked about was very impressed, and the impression was even better.

The family is living a good life. I heard they have several livestock. All three sons in the family are sent to study. This alone is already great.

The elders in the family are still the village chiefs of Huajia Village. A few years ago, his son was rushing to take the exam thanks to their care. For this reason, Qin Dagen took his family to Huajia Village to thank him. In the end, he was thanked by them and took a lot of money with him when he went. When the things come back, there will be more gifts in return, and it’s not enough if you don’t take them.
