Chapter 142 Set fire to the village, Wei Zhong was captured (3)
Hearing what she said, Old Liang quickly took out a pen and filled it with mint, then read the prescription again, nodded repeatedly, and praised it well.

"Ma'am, this prescription plus this medicine is like a tiger with wings added. Now this old man can assure his chest that all the people in Yangguan Village will be cured."

"Uncle Liang, are you so confident?" Tian Liusu was delighted to see that he was so sure of what he said. He would definitely not just talk about it.

"Yes, ma'am, and, I want to re-adjust the ratio of the herbs to maximize the efficacy of this medicine. Well, even if the symptoms are severe, I can restore his body to normal within five days."

"That's great, Uncle Liang, you take this prescription and ask Bao Zhu to go to Longquan County to negotiate with the county magistrate early tomorrow morning, and ask him to allow you to enter Yangguan Village to treat the plague."

"Yes, I will do my best." Old Liangtou got another secret recipe today, excited in his heart, and promised Tian Liusu again and again.

After they made an agreement, Baozhu saw that Tian Liusu was also sleepy, so he asked her to rest on Yunluo's big bed. He came to watch the night, but the men in black didn't move at all. Qin Baozhu felt relieved and looked forward to the dawn.

Tian Liusu led An'an and Lele to the back room. The two children had long been exhausted and fell asleep in her arms. She gently put the two children on the bed and settled down on the bed herself. for a while.

It was already late at night, and the village was quiet. The former leader of the man in black was silently issuing orders with his palms raised at the entrance of the village.

"Leader, it's ready. There are fourteen households in total, and each household has two people." A man in black knelt on one knee and reported to the man.

"Where are those people now?"

"They all packed their things and went to a small wooden building in the back mountain, where they all gathered."

"Hmph, it's better this way. Start as soon as you're ready. Be sure to deal with them all tonight. It's not good to spread the news when they leave the village tomorrow." The man's voice was eerie.

"Yes, we are waiting for your order now."

"Well, send out the signal, ignite the fire immediately, and then quickly surround the small wooden building."

"Yes." The man agreed, twisted his body and disappeared into the night sky.

Tian Liusu was sleepy after a busy day. She lay on the bed for a while and then fell asleep. A gust of night wind blew through in a trance, and a choking smell of smoke mixed with cold air floated into her nostrils. Tian Liusu was always sensitive. Even when she was asleep, her senses were always open, and she woke up as soon as she smelled a peculiar smell at the tip of her nose.

When she saw the villagers snoring from sleep, she shook her head and took a few puffs, as if the smell of the smoke just now was no longer there. She immediately became vigilant, her senses were always keen, and she would never smell it wrong. Go out of the back room and open the door.

"Ah..." An unbelievable exclamation came out involuntarily, and Tian Liusu turned around and called out: "Folks, get up."

In the distance, the thatched houses closest to the entrance of the village burst into flames, and the piles of firewood around them turned into fire dragons. With the direction of the wind, they quickly became a sea of ​​flames. The tongues of flames more than ten feet long licked on the nearby eaves and continued to burn. When they got up, the fire was raging, and the road at the entrance of the village had been engulfed in flames, and there was no exit.

The villagers were sleeping soundly, when they heard Tian Liusu's shouting, they woke up from their dreams and sat up. Suddenly, they saw the flames in the distance, and they no longer felt sleepy. The cry was forgotten and came out.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" The villagers who woke up first had already surrounded the door tightly, and those who got up behind couldn't see the situation outside, so they all asked anxiously.

"How dare they set fire to the village? This is to burn our entire village to death." The village chief was also among the crowd at this time, since Cao Hua led the matchmaker Liu from Zhuiyu Village to Tian Liusu's house to make a fuss last time. Afterwards, Tian Liusu stopped talking to their family, and she asked the villagers to inform them about the importance of today's matter. At this time, the village chief seemed to be stimulated, saying these words over and over again.

"Susu, what should we do now?" Qin Baozhu rushed over and saw that Tianshui Village was already in flames, and asked Tian Liusu anxiously.

"If they do this, they must burn the whole village to death and silence them." Tian Liusu looked at the fire and said slowly.

"Why is that?"

"Yeah, what enmity do we have with them?"

In an instant, the cries of the villagers drowned out the reprimands. This is the place where they have lived for many years. I never thought that once it was burned down, how would they live in the future?Thinking of this, I became even more indignant and angry, accusing the crowd angrily, the crowd has gradually lost control, and many villagers have already rushed out.

"Everyone, don't panic. As long as people are here, the house can be rebuilt in the future. Don't be impulsive. Don't go out at this time. Once you go out and are found, the lives of the whole village will be lost."

"It's you, it's you, it must be you, you catastrophe, those people must have come after you, you're the one who killed the whole village..." Just as she was barely calming down the villagers, they rioted When she was in a panic, a sharp cry sounded in the crowd, and Cao Hua rushed out and stood on the ground, pointing at Tian Liusu and cursing endlessly.

"Shut up, where did you say that?" Qin Baozhu saw the grass flower rushing out, secretly yelled that it was not good, and immediately opened his mouth to scold.

"Shut up, how do I shut up? I'm going to die anyway today, and I have nothing to fear. The nobleman in the capital has already said that if we continue to let her stay in Tianshui Village, everyone in Tianshui Village will lose their lives. Isn't it just right?"

At this time, Cao Hua is already in a state of madness, her eyes are red, and with all the conflicts and conflicts between her and Tian Liusu in the past, she can't wait to tear Tian Liusu to pieces.

As soon as her words came out, Tian Liusu was stunned and fell silent. She looked up at the crowd in the room. Although Caohua had an arrogant attitude, the reason she said was not impossible. The villagers in the village have said that if one day she is really tired of the villagers of Tianshui Village, she will leave this place forever.

But the current situation is not as simple as whether she leaves or not. Even if she leaves, those people will not let them go, so she looks at them silently to see how they will react. If it is her If the villagers were dragged down, she would have no complaints when the villagers handed her over to those men in black or drove her out immediately.

She stared at the villagers in front of her eyes like a torch, Caohua was still swearing, the village chief had already rushed out a few times and pulled her back into the crowd, scolding her in a low voice, not letting her speak anymore, the villagers at this moment Confronted her.

She looked at the villagers, and the villagers also looked at her. There was a moment of silence in the small wooden building, and then Tian Liusu's heart sank, and a trace of disappointment surfaced in her heart. After all, she still didn't get the tolerance and understanding of these villagers?
