Master Doctor in the City

After watching the young soldier leave with the bag, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue went to a village in Xiaowang Village. Xiaowang Village has a population of more than 500, and based on a household with five people, there are more than 100 households, which is not too small.

Therefore, in this narrow and long Xiaowang Village, looking at it, they are all those low houses, and there are few stone-paved dirt roads underneath.

The surrounding area was naturally Ye Chen on a military plane. He already knew from the information that it was surrounded by high mountains and a tributary of the Yangtze River not far away passing through.

There are mountains and waters, which is a good place. Now that this is happening, the villagers in the village are afraid.

Ye Chen knew that to truly understand the situation in this village, it is best to learn from the villagers. At present, most of the patients in the temporary treatment center still have not stabilized. It is definitely impossible to ask questions from them.

He can only ask from those villagers who have not yet contracted the plague and whose thinking is still normal.

"Boom, boom!" The two came to the first wooden door of the earthen house that was still lit and knocked on the door. Ye Chen knocked several times and looked at the house next to it.

He discovered that even though he knocked several times, except for the sound of knocking on the door in the quiet night, the people inside didn't know if they were asleep or dared to open the door. Seeing this situation, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue glanced at each other, and they were helpless.

I can only continue to the front door of the lighted room, knocking on several households in a row, and the situation in each household is the same.

"Could it be that there are no living people inside, or the villagers were sent to the temporary center after being infected, and the lights inside forgot to turn off?" Ye Chen wondered.

However, he could not directly open the door to enter, because the current situation still cannot break into someone else's house privately. Even if he wants to enter that way, he still needs the consent of the person in charge and the village cadre here. Under such circumstances, Ye Chen could only give up.

Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue walked for about 20 minutes from the temporary treatment center, which is the center of Xiaowang Village, the school and the village committee of Xiaowang Village, to the end of the village. They did not see them except the soldiers. A figure, even if he wants to guess a dead mouse, is difficult.

Seeing this, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue could only go back to the temporary center. Ye Chen was going to finish the map. When he came to investigate the source of the disease from these villagers, he didn’t expect that Liao Bingxue looked at him. A dark shadow passed by in the distance, shocked her, and couldn't help pulling Ye Chen's arm tightly.

When Ye Chen followed that gaze, he saw a figure in black clothes moving 100 meters away. He took Liao Bingxue's hand and hurriedly walked forward.

The closer he got to that figure, the clearer he could see. It was a figure with a rickety back, Ye Chen could see that this should be an old man or an old woman.

On the old woman's right hand, the two saw that the old woman was holding a bamboo basket. Inside the bamboo basket, there should be some joss sticks, some incense, and candles.

Ye Chen grew up in the countryside, and he knew very well what the old people used to do.

Therefore, neither he nor Liao Bingxue made a sound. They quietly followed the old woman behind them and walked forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, when Ye Chen saw her stop, they had already seen the front. It is a new cemetery. The newly dug soil is surrounded by firecrackers and red paper, and there are also those incense papers that have been burnt to ashes.

In the morning, when they had just arrived, after passing the raised hill, they had already seen the new cemetery, where the village chief was buried.

There is a big difference between here and that place. It can be said that one is very close to the village head, and the other is far away from the village end.

Now the old woman was in the new graveyard at the end of the village. From the basket she was holding, she took out the joss paper money, incense, and candles. After lighting them in the same place, she began to press stones against the burning ones. Fragrant paper money.

Now this kind of dry weather, even if it is a relatively cool place. However, if you are not optimistic, the wind will blow away the burning incense paper money, it is likely to cause a fire. All around are the fallen leaves, trees, and weeds, which are easily lit.

Now I can see that the old woman is still very serious. After discovering that she had done those things, Ye Chen kept bowing her head and murmured to herself. Neither Chen nor Liao Bingxue could hear what she was talking about.

In this situation, the opponent will have about half an hour before and after.

After half an hour was over, she was holding the empty basket, naturally preparing to turn around and leave. Seeing the figures of Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue, the old woman also ignored them and left straight away.

Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue took a look and hurriedly followed. After following this old woman, about five meters away, Ye Chen shouted: "Old woman, old woman!"

The old woman still didn't stop, Ye Chen could only speed up to come in front of her. From the front, he could already see the old woman's face, wrinkled, but there was a rare trace of clarity in her eyes, and the eyes of the numb villagers were completely different.

However, Ye Chen discovered that the villagers in this village were relatively older than their true age. Therefore, Ye Chen also didn't know how old this old woman was.

He guessed that the other party's age should be 70 or 80, but if it is older than the actual age, it should be only about 50 or 60.

"Old woman!" Ye Chen shouted again, but the other party still didn't speak.

Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue followed, and walked for about ten minutes. Ye Chen saw a low one-story earth house. When the old woman came to the door of the earth house, she pushed open the wooden door and went in. , Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue also followed in.

When he entered inside, he found that there were no lights on in this earthen house, but oil lamps were all lit. When he saw that it was a very old rural house.

In the middle is an atrium. There are two rooms on either side of the atrium. Then there is a small yard in front. There is a well in the yard. The well is surrounded by stones, directly piled up, and the yard is directly enclosed by a wall. of.

Now Ye Chen went inside and saw the old woman go out carrying an old iron plate. There was wood charcoal in the iron plate. After the charcoal fire was burning, the old woman sat down beside the iron plate.

This makes Ye Chen even more strange. This weather is very hot in the big cities of Shanghai. You need to turn on a fan or air conditioner to sleep. In Xiaowang Village, although it is a shady and cool kind, the temperature is not high or low. , It’s also not cold, why does this old woman surround the fire?
