Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1380 Now, do as you are told!

Bai Ming flicked his finger slightly and the fire starter instantly turned into powder.

Sporadic sparks fell to the ground and were soon completely obliterated by the cold wind.

All this happened in just a short time.

The people's reactions show how much they fear the epidemic.

The fact that they made a prompt decision to burn their companions also shows how cruel people's choices between life and death are.

At this time, a villager was so excited that the flesh on his cheeks became twisted and hideous: "General! What are you doing?! Why are you stopping us from burning him?!"

Someone/loudly echoed: "General, do you want to kill us all?!"

Some people shouted at the top of their lungs: "If he has the disease, he should be burned to death immediately! We must not let him infect everyone!"

The panic among the crowd was completely ignited.

They seemed to have forgotten their identity as human beings and had only one thought, which was to eliminate all people who might be infected with the disease.

Bai Mingwei merely blocked the fire starter, but became the target of public criticism.

All the villagers turned their fear of the epidemic into anger and vented it on Bai Mingwei.

"General! He must die! You can't be confused at this critical moment!"

"You may not know this since you are young, but in the past, whenever we encountered an epidemic, we solved it by burning it."

"Only by destroying the bodies and erasing all traces can we prevent the outbreak of the disease!"

"Please don't let your momentary kindness harm us all!"

"General, you can't lose the big picture because of the small one!"

"General! Please don't harm us!"

"General! He must be burned!"

"If you don't burn it, you're harming us and everyone!"

"..."

The crowd was outraged and directed their anger at Bai Mingwei.

But Bai Mingwei still stood there quietly, allowing the villagers to vent their panic and anger.

It was because she anticipated this situation that she came here in person.

When everyone's breathing became rapid and their voices became hoarse, they had to stop and take a breath for a while.

Bai Mingwei said faintly: "You also know that whenever an epidemic is discovered, it is necessary to burn it to prevent the spread of the epidemic."

"Then I would like to ask you, there is someone in your village who is suspected of being infected with the disease. According to the previous practice of killing the wrong person rather than letting him go, will it work if you kill him?"

Just one short question made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

Past practice...

The village was infected and burned down.

The town is sick, the town is burned.

When a city was infected with the disease, it was besieged and left to die on its own until the epidemic was eradicated.

Throughout history, this method has been used to curb and block the spread of epidemics.

Is it any use to burn this man to death?
The answer is obvious - it’s useless.

Because once this person is really infected, everyone will be implicated.

However, this realization caused all the villagers to fall into despair.

The panic born out of despair is undoubtedly irrational.

Some people held their heads, their unwillingness to die turned into evil thoughts, instantly devouring their only humanity.

Someone stared at Bai Mingwei with bloodshot eyes.

"As long as the general doesn't tell anyone, won't it be okay?"

"General, I'm sorry, everything we do is to survive."

"We have worked so hard to stay alive, we can't just die like this!" Bai Mingwei did not move, but several villagers had murderous looks in their eyes and were approaching them menacingly.

Apparently, they wanted to kill her so no one would leak the information.

Faced with this scene, she slapped back with her hand, and a tree as thick as her thigh broke into several pieces in an instant, fell to the ground with a loud bang, and raised a cloud of dust.

She didn't even use a sword.

Everyone was stunned with shock. In the face of absolute power, their evil and vicious thoughts disappeared in an instant.

Only the bone-chilling fear remained.

Because they knew very well that what was more deadly than the plague was definitely the sword in the general's hand.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Bai Mingwei didn't say any more nonsense and ordered in a calm voice: "Carry him and return to the village."

No one dares not to obey.

Several groups of villagers, totaling more than twenty people, followed Bai Mingwei closely.

Several villagers who were splashed with the filth lifted up the unconscious villager and walked towards the village together.

Along the way, everyone was worried and uneasy.

Some people even wanted to escape midway, but were frightened back to the team by Bai Mingwei's look.

Any riot by the people can only be suppressed by force.

Only when they are frightened will they not dare to have any other thoughts.

If the guards were here, there would inevitably be a conflict.

This is also the reason why Bai Mingwei came here in person.

As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a few simple sheds set up near Old Li's house.

The beams are made of wood and the ground is covered with thatch.

Bai Mingwei knew the purpose of these sheds at a glance.

She turned around and ordered, "You guys, carry him inside and keep him there. The rest of you, go back home immediately. It's best to stay in your room and don't contact your family. When the doctor comes, there will be new arrangements."

The villagers were unhappy: "General, why can they go home but we can't?"

The guard immediately said: "Just do whatever the general tells you to do, stop talking nonsense!"

"Now that the general is here, we still have room to talk to you nicely. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for our tough tactics!"

Several people were frightened immediately.

But at this moment.

"Ah! I don't want to die!"

Someone screamed and ran out of the village regardless of anything, trying to break through the encirclement of the guards.

The guards tried to stop him hastily, but were knocked to the ground by him because he had lost his mind.

Faced with such crazy villagers, they could not harm their lives, which caused quite a stir for a while.

Seeing that the guards' attention was drawn, the others moved quietly, ready to find an opportunity to escape at any time.

"boom!"

The villager who was running away was knocked to the ground by the stone kicked by Bai Mingwei and lost consciousness instantly.

This scene also frightened those who wanted to escape in the chaos.

Bai Mingwei said loudly: "Why are you running? What are you doing? The doctor hasn't even examined you yet, and you've already concluded that it's an epidemic?"

"Even if it is really an epidemic, this general and my personal guards are here, and His Majesty the Ninth Prince is in Licheng, more than ten miles away. With us here, will we just watch you die without helping you?"

"As long as you cooperate, don't affect others, and don't cause trouble for us, we have ways to eliminate the flood and help everyone."

"But if you lose your composure first and don't follow our instructions, we won't be able to help you even if we want to."

"When things get out of control, we can only take strong measures. Hope and a way out are right in front of you, so don't destroy them!"

At this point, Bai Mingwei raised his voice and did not allow any further discussion: "Chapter 1380 Now, follow my instructions!"
