Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1379: The only thing we can do now is to make up for the loss
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone changed color.

Epidemic, what a terrible word.

It can be compared to natural disasters or man-made disasters, and means death and pain.

At this time, a guard asked: "Master, how should we deal with this sick old man Li? Can we quickly use fire to destroy all the possible infections?"

Bai Mingwei shook his head: "Not for now."

The guards were as if they were facing a formidable enemy: "Master, what should we do?"

Bai Mingwei looked serious and said, "Hold it down first. After the doctor comes to diagnose the disease, we will mobilize the garrison troops for support. This is a serious matter and it cannot be solved by a few hundred yamen runners."

"Also, immediately check who Mr. Li sold the water to. Also, check the source of the meat in Mr. Li's house. And then check who Mr. Li interacts with on a daily basis."

"What we can do now is to quickly trace the source and contain it at the source; and also track all possible spread of the disease to prevent it from spreading further. Only by doing this two-pronged approach can we prevent the situation from getting out of control."

Although Bai Mingwei was serious, he was not panicked because he had already prepared himself mentally for this matter.

The guards had also rehearsed before, and after receiving the order, they immediately divided the work and went to carry out Bai Mingwei's order.

Everything is in order.

Xiao Chongyuan tried to comfort her: "This matter is beyond your control. Don't feel too burdened."

Bai Mingwei was speechless.

She naturally understood that she was not a god, and could not manage the vast Jiangbei area, let alone guard any corner.

The loophole was taken advantage of, it was not her negligence, nor was it anyone else's negligence.

She was in a heavy heart, thinking about the lives that might be lost to the epidemic and the series of troubles that might arise from the epidemic.

Thinking of this, she sighed: "This epidemic is different from the usual ones. I have not personally experienced the disaster in Beiyan, but I am afraid that this epidemic is as fierce as the one Beiyan experienced."

Xiao Chongyuan said: "At least we have made preparations in advance and given the refugees anti-epidemic medicine. The refugees are not so weak, so the disease will not spread so quickly."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "Yeah. I'm fine, don't worry."

At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Master, it's bad, the villagers who were carrying water had a conflict with us."

Bai Ming frowned slightly: "But something special happened?"

Because ordinary conflicts can definitely be resolved by well-trained guards.

Instead of reporting it in such a panic.

The guard heard this and continued, "One of the villagers was so excited that he vomited uncontrollably. Because they couldn't dodge in time, many people were splashed with the filth. The scene was in chaos. Please tell me how to deal with it."

Bai Mingwei looked him up and down, then said, "Don't go back. I'll go over and take a look."

Xiao Chongyuan said, "I'll go over there, you wait here for the people from the government office."

Bai Mingwei was firm: "You wait here with them, I'll go over and take a look, don't worry, I'll be careful."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei led the horse, jumped on it, and galloped towards the scene of the incident.

Soon, she smelled an extremely strong odor from afar.

The smell was disgusting.

As we got closer, we could hear the people arguing with the guards.

"The general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave this place for the time being!"

"What are you talking about? We are still waiting for the water to be delivered! It's one thing to delay things and not get paid, but if we lose our old customers, how are we going to survive?!"

"He's already this sick! Don't you realize how serious the situation is?"

"Who doesn't have some illness or disaster?! Should we delay our work just because he's so ill?"

"..."

The two sides argued endlessly.

Bai Mingwei shouted in a low voice: "What's the fuss?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped off the horse.

The guard saluted to Bai Mingwei: "Master."

Bai Mingwei glanced around and saw a villager lying on the ground, with filth on his mouth and brown liquid oozing out from the corners of his lips. Several guards and the nearest villagers were also splashed with filth.

Seeing this, Bai Mingwei ordered the guards: "Go and deal with it quickly, wash it clean and boil it into a decoction for epidemic prevention."

"For the time being, you guys should not come into contact with the outside world, and you don't have to be on duty. Take a good rest these few days. If there are any problems, I will handle them."

Seeing that his master was so serious, the guard naturally did not dare to delay and quickly took his leave: "Yes, I will follow your orders."

After saying that, the guards left.

The villagers who had been shouting and refusing to give in just now immediately changed their attitude when they saw Bai Mingwei:

"General, you are a great general who loves the people like his own children, you are a great general who is sensible and reasonable, please have mercy on us and let us send this water out."

"We all depend on the money from selling water to survive, so we can't afford to lose even a quarter of an hour. What will we do if we lose our old customers?"

As he said that, he knelt in front of Bai Mingwei and reached out to grab the hem of Bai Mingwei's clothes.

Bai Mingwei took a step back, avoiding the hand, and said solemnly: "I will bear your losses. As for the old customers, I will explain it to you."

As he spoke, Bai Mingwei pointed at the villager who had fallen unconscious to the ground.

"Now carry the few people who were splashed by the filth back to the village. Someone there will tell you how to take care of them."

The villagers were reluctant at first, but when they heard that they had no losses, they naturally stopped pestering.

Several people put down their water-carrying tools and were about to carry away the unconscious villager, but suddenly, a faint voice was heard.

"General, what kind of disease is this? How come I have never seen such a disease before?"

Bai Ming said calmly: "The doctor will come over later, and we will know after the doctor examines us."

The villagers were even more puzzled: "You take this matter so seriously, could it be an epidemic?"

"what!"

The word "epidemic" frightened everyone.

Some people even abandoned the unconscious villagers and jumped aside, not daring to approach.

Some people were at a loss and stood there not daring to move.

Everyone was very nervous and panic was spreading.

"Epidemic?"

"No way?"

"Hasn't it been fine all along? How could there be an epidemic?"

"But if it's not a plague, then what could it be? I've never seen such a terrible disease."

"Look at him, his mouth is full of pus!"

"He must have the plague!"

"Ah! Stay away! Stay away!"

"Fire! Fire! Who has fire!"

"Burn him!"

"Burn him!"

"If you burn it clean, it won't be contagious!"

"Yes, it's burning!"

Everyone was in a panic, looking for fire starters.

The neighbors who used to be close to each other have now become people who must die.

Soon, someone really took out a fire starter, and someone else quickly grabbed a lot of dry pine needles and covered the unconscious villagers with them.

The tinder was lit and thrown at the unconscious villager.

It was about to hit the ground and catch fire.
