The closure of Huangshi Town caused people in the town to panic.

　　These days, the number of sick people has gradually increased, which has already made people panic. At this moment, the state government not only did not send doctors and medicine to rescue, but instead closed the town, which made their fear explode to the extreme in an instant.

　　Many people immediately rushed out with their belongings and their children.

　　But they were all forced back by the government troops holding spears.

　　Mr. Liu, a wealthy man in Huangshi Town, refused to accept it. He was so happy that he had a pair of unicorns. Naturally, he did not want to wait here to die. So he first offered bribes and asked his servants to carry two boxes full of silver to buy a way out, but was severely rejected by the government army.

　　As I watched, people started to die around me.

　　Mr. Liu simply used the price of ten taels of silver per person to summon half of the people in Huangshi Town to pass the test!

　　He thought very well. With so many people rushing out together, the law does not punish everyone. I still have health servants on my side to protect me, so there is always a chance to rush out.

　　But the government army was very ruthless this time.

　　When hundreds of people rushed out to rush through the pass in collective chaos, the leader of the government army directly transferred a group of archers and fired three random volleys of arrows to break up the originally unorganized team.

　　Those who rushed to the front suffered the most deaths, including Mr. Liu and his pair of unicorns.

　　In an instant, Huangshi Town turned into a Shura field.

　　Whether it was paying bribes to buy a way out, gathering a crowd to break through the border, or kneeling on the ground and begging, there was no way to shake the leader of the government army at all. Huangshi Town is completely blocked!

　　The desperate people of Huangshi Town went from a prosperous and peaceful town to a purgatory-like dead city in an instant.

　　Sure enough, as shopkeeper Chen said, the ghost epidemic has begun!

　　Those who had a high fever in the past few days began to have symptoms of vomiting blood, bloody stools and even skin ulcers, and then died quickly within two or three days.

　　The shadow of death intensified the panic in Huangshi Town.

　　At this time, a saying began to spread in Huangshi Town: it was all the disasters caused by these refugees from other places!

　　I don’t know where this statement came from, but it quickly aroused dissatisfaction among the residents who originally lived in Huangshi Town. They believe that the misfortunes they encountered and the deaths they faced were caused by these refugees who came to flee.

　　After two days of brewing and expansion, it finally exploded at noon one day!

　　The incident broke out at Liu Chengen's house in the northwest corner of Huangshi Village. Their family was an old resident of Huangshi Town. They had relatives who came from Pingzhou Village to seek refuge. At the beginning, they got along well. After all, the relationship and affection between the relatives were still there. But when rumors started to spread that strangers had brought ghosts to the epidemic, the Liu Chengen family began to quit!

　　Their family has been chasing relatives away, but their only son is sick, so they beg for help. When fear and rumors continued to accumulate, Liu Chengen could not bear the panic, and the family worked together to throw all the belongings of their relatives onto the street. Including the sick child. After such a torment, the child died at that time.

　　This death triggered all conflicts. The only son of a relative died and was the only child for several generations. The whole family went crazy. They picked up a kitchen knife and a rolling pin, rushed into Liu Chengen's home, and hacked to death their entire family.

　　The bloody tragedy further intensified the conflict between local residents and immigrants. In just one afternoon, there were four or five fights and injuries. This wounding, in turn, increases deaths, exacerbating the already desperate atmosphere in Yellowstone Town.

　　No matter how turbulent the people in Huangshi Town were, the government troops just silently surrounded the town, as if they were just a group of ants fighting each other. Neither interfere nor let go.

　　The entire town of Huangshi was plunged into panic, with heart-rending cries heard everywhere. More and more families are confusing their door gods. Apart from the government troops, the only silent and orderly place was Sixian Tower.

　　Shopkeeper Chen’s arrangement makes Sixianlou low-key and orderly.

　　These days, some of the sick guests in Si Xian Building have died one after another. But unlike the earth-shattering wailings of other families, most of the people living in Sixian Building are businessmen traveling around the world.

　　Shopkeeper Chen has already made arrangements.

　　Whenever someone died, shopkeeper Chen would cover his mouth and nose with a thick cloth, put the deceased into the coffin with Chunyu, and then put it in a separate room.

　　That day, when Chunyu and Xiangmaozi went out for a large purchase, shopkeeper Chen had already led several other boys who stayed behind to seal up the entire west wing, saying that this place would be used as a place for mourning in the future. Sure enough, it is now being used one after another.

　　Shopkeeper Chen and Chunyu put the person into the coffin and carried him away. Xiangmaozi, who was here wearing a hood, took away all the bedding and pillows behind the dead person, carried them to the yard, poured vegetable oil into a broken vat, and lit it on fire. .

　　As for the things left by the deceased guest, shopkeeper Cheng will pack them up and seal them together, and put a yellow label on them, which contains the deceased businessman's name, place of origin, general facial features, etc. Waiting for guests and their families to come and look for it.

　　In the remaining empty room, Erzhu filled a plate with vinegar and burned it with a small charcoal stove underneath, fumigating the entire room with vinegar until it had a strong sour smell.

　　After such an orderly process, the sick guests at Sixianlou fell ill and died one after another. But other people were still panicking, but no new patients were added.

　　This phenomenon was discovered by the attentive Xiangmaozi. She didn't quite understand the reason, but she intuitively believed that shopkeeper Chen's method was effective.

　　Unlike other residents of Huangshi Town, if one person gets sick, the rest of the family will get sick one after another, and often all of them will die within a few days.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

　　After thinking about it for a while, Lemongrass asked shopkeeper Chen, "Uncle Chen, I think your method is particularly effective. Why don't you teach it to other neighbors?"

　　Before Shopkeeper Chen could explain, Chun Yu said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me? You've been busy burning luggage in the back these past few days, so you didn't know. Ever since the first letter of the town, Shopkeeper Chen has gone to the mayor's house. Huang Miaozhu told me all his plans and methods. I wrote down everything with a pen about burning people's luggage and fumigating the house with vinegar, lest I miss anything!"

　　Lemongrass said happily, "Isn't that useful too!"

　　Chunyu sighed, "Bah, it's useless! The mayor wasn't sure whether shopkeeper Chen's method was effective, so he came to Huang Miaozhu to ask. In the end, the man rejected it at once, saying that it was all some weird tricks. Technique! It’s useless at all. If you want to be safe, you still have to take his anti-epidemic charm every day.”

　　Huangxian wishes!

　　Xiangmaozi knew that when Xin Mao was ill, his stepmother brought Xin Mao to the town to ask for a talisman. Afterwards, Xin Mao really recovered, and from then on, his mother-in-law held Huang Xianzhu to the sky.

　　"Then, it will work." Xiangmaozi said weakly. She had never even looked at it, let alone eating talismans.

　　Chunyu snorted, "Then who knows? Huangxian Zhufei said that this time the ghost epidemic is fierce. In the past, a piece of talisman paper cost a hundred cents, but now he wants one or two silver pieces! He also needs to take it every day. Who can take it? I think he just wants to make money, so he stopped the shopkeeper from spreading the idea."

　　"Okay, stop talking." Shopkeeper Chen listened to Chun Yu complaining about Huang Xianzhu and stopped him.

　　"Don't gossip about others, let's do our own thing. Xiangmaozi, don't run outside these days." He warned Xiangmaozi. The attitude of people outside towards the refugees has become even worse. Many refugees will be rushed up and beaten by the townspeople when they walk on the street for no reason.

　　They were all people who had died in their families and hated the refugees for bringing disaster to the town.

　　Shopkeeper Chen does not discriminate against refugees and outsiders here. After all, they run a restaurant and rely on the help of customers who come from all over the world.

　　But for others, it's hard to say.

　　Lemongrass responded crisply.

　　Then she went back to the kitchen to help boil mugwort water. Shopkeeper Chen asked that the mugwort water be boiled three times a day and sprayed everywhere. In addition, she had to soak the feet of everyone in the restaurant.

　　At this time, the evening mugwort water was boiled, and everyone gave it to the guests and shared the rest among themselves. Lemongrass also filled a large pot and carried it back to the lower room to soak Xin Mao's feet.

　　When I walked into the room, I found that Xin Mao hadn't gotten up yet, curled up into a ball and fell asleep on the bed.

　　In the past few days, Xiangmaozi was busy and didn't pay much attention to him. He just told him not to run around outside. The world was very chaotic.

　　After Xin Mao agreed, Xiangmaozi let go.

　　This is not because Lemongrass is arrogant, but because children in the countryside are used to being free-range, with ten thousand things waiting to be done every day, and no one will keep an eye on their children all day long.

　　Lemongrass put the big kettle on the ground and the basin in front of the bed. Then he reached out and patted Xin Mao, "Get up! I'll give you some water to soak your feet."

　　Xin Mao snorted but didn't get up.

　　Lemongrass stretched out her hand and patted him again, "Get up quickly and go to bed after soaking. Why did you sleep all day today?!"

　　Xin Mao groaned, but still didn't get up.

　　Xiangmaozi was a little confused, so she pulled Xin Mao's body and turned him around. Only then did she realize that Xin Mao's face was already flushed with heat, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

　　Xiangmaozi reached out and reached into Xin Mao's body. When he touched it, his body was also scalding hot.

　　She couldn't help but be shocked - Xin Mao, this is a fever!

　　If in the past, Xin Mao had a fever, Xiangmaozi would have gone to the kitchen to make him a bowl of ginger syrup and pour it into him while it was still hot to make him sweat. But today was different from the past. The timing of Xin Mao's fever was so coincidental that Xiangmaozi couldn't help but wonder if he had also contracted the ghost-contact disease.

　　Thinking of this, Xiangmaozi couldn't help but tremble.

　　She ignored Xin Mao and went to find a dry towel to wipe off the sweat from Xin Mao's body. Then she scalded the towel with hot mugwort water, wrung it dry, and began to wipe Xin Mao from beginning to end.

　　The warm dry towel with the strong smell of mugwort is very comfortable to wipe on the body.

　　Xiangmaozi changed two basins of water and wiped Xin Mao thoroughly from beginning to end twice. He also went to find a clean sheet for Xin Mao to change into. Then he covered him with a quilt again and let him sleep.

　　This night, Xiangmaozi didn't even fall asleep while guarding Xin Mao.

　　Finding that Xin Mao had a fever and was sweating, she wiped him with a cloth dipped in mugwort water. Xin Mao was also fed a lot of brown sugar and ginger syrup, which was very hot!

　　After tossing until dawn, Xin Mao still continued to have a low fever and his energy became even more depressed. Xiangmaozi would often call him dozens of times before he could vaguely respond.

　　Lemongrass was getting more and more worried.

　　She saw Xin Mao sleeping soundly again, and ran out quietly, found Chun Yu, and told him that Xin Mao was sick!

　　Chunyu has led Xiangmaozi to work hard on the front line these days, and has formed a strong fighting friendship with Xiangmaozi. When Xiangmaozi said that Xin Mao was ill and asked about Xin Mao's specific situation, the boy Chun Yu frowned, "The situation is not good. His situation is no different from that of the guests in our inn!"

　　Xiang Maozi felt the same way, so she was extremely worried. The guests in the inn all started with a low fever, then developed blood in the stool, coughed up blood, and finally died. Xin Mao is now in the initial stage.

　　"How did he get sick?" Xiangmaozi was extremely impatient, "We work in the inn all day long and have to deal with sick guests, but no one got sick!"

　　Chunyu scratched his head and thought about it, "Maybe he got it outside. Xin Mao keeps running out these days, don't you know?"

　　Xiangmaozi looked confused. Did Xin Mao run outside? !

　　When Chunyu saw her expression, he knew that she hadn't noticed at all.

　　"These days we are all busy dealing with the aftermath of our guests. Xin Mao doesn't like staying in the inn. He always runs around with the kids in the town and doesn't come back until dinner time. The shopkeepers all found out. Let me remind you to keep an eye on Xin Mao. I am afraid that he will be bullied among the children."

　　Is there such a thing? Xiangmaozi thought that Xin Mao must be too bored to follow the children in the town around. But now there are outbreaks of epidemics everywhere. They must have been contaminated by something unclean while running around outside!

　　Now what? !

　　Lemongrass is confused, what to do now? !

　　Chunyu looked at Xiangmaozi's blank expression and felt a little sad and distressed.

　　On weekdays, they deal with deceased guests. Although it is troublesome, they never feel sad. After all, they are all strangers from outside the country. But Xin Mao is different. He is the child who has been running around under his nose.

　　"How about you go ask Huang Xianzhu and see if you can get a talisman for Xin Mao to eat?" Chunyu tried hard to help find a way.

　　However, Huang Xianzhu's talisman is very expensive. In the past two days, it has risen to thirty taels of silver a piece.

　　This is not the key, the most important thing is that it doesn't work.

　　The first people who went to eat talismans because of illness have now died one after another.

　　Many families were selling talismans to obtain talismans. Before their relatives could be saved, they started to make a fuss. Every day, Huang Xianzhu's dojo was bustling and divided into two groups of people.

　　One group came to ask for talismans with silver in their hands.

　　The other group came to make trouble carrying spiritual flags.

　　Both groups of people were very anxious and accused each other of being fools.

　　Although Lemongrass is young, she has her own opinions. If Huang Xianzhu's talisman was really that effective, then there wouldn't be so many people dying in the town. Although there are still so many people asking for Huang Xianzhu, most of them would rather die than live as doctors.

　　She shook her head, "It's useless to look for Huang Xianzhu."

　　Chunyu continued to scratch his head, "What should we do?"

　　Citronella thought for a while and said something so powerful that Chunyu was shocked, "I want to find moon grass!"
