With the sound of gongs and drums and the shouts of village chief Niu Qi, the villagers of Niutou Village gradually walked out of their homes and arrived at the entrance of the village.

Under Liu Zizai and others maintaining order, the villagers lined up in order.

Among them, villagers with obvious signs of illness were assigned to one place and the two doctors began to treat it.

Xu Rong stood aside, quietly watching the two doctors treat these sick villagers, and then discussing with each other.

From time to time, a few professional terms appeared, which made Xu Rong confused.

However, after more than a dozen villagers with obvious symptoms finished their diagnosis and treatment, Xu Rong also figured out the general situation.

These villagers are indeed infected with the same disease, but this disease is a bit strange and can cause fever, cough, and even small rashes on the body.

However, the specific cause is difficult to determine, some are caused by the lungs, and some are caused by wind evil.

The two doctors discussed for a while and finally felt that the disease was a bit like a cold, but it was contagious. If it was not dealt with in time, it would cause death.

Upon hearing this, Xu Rong couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Xie, is this considered a plague?"

"If Jueyin does not abdicate, it means that strong winds rise early, rain does not fall, dampness does not melt, people's diseases will be warm and plagued, defects will be eliminated, wind will cause people's diseases to be pained, head pain, internal irritation, dry throat and red rashes, skin will be caused by plague. At present, we can only try to prescribe medicine first to treat it."

Doctor Xie paused, and then said sincerely: "Sir, you need to prepare early."

Hearing this, even Xu Rong, who was prepared for a long time, couldn't help but frown.

After obtaining Dr. Xie's confirmation, almost all the people here are sources of infection. Even if there is nothing to do now, it does not mean that it is okay in the future.

You should know that many plagues have incubation periods.

Many villagers also heard Dr. Xie's words. Although they couldn't understand something, they also knew that the people in the village had a plague and they would definitely be infected soon.

Xu Rong quickly made a decision. He called Niu Qi and ordered: "Gather the sick people together. The doctor will prescribe medicine for them later and then treat them. As for the others, they will stay at home. If there is anything, report it in time."

"No one is allowed to leave Niutou Village until it is confirmed that everyone is fine."

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers were in a panic.

"If we don't let us leave the village, then what will we eat?"

"That's right, where can you survive without working?"

"This is a plague. We have not had a plague now, so why don't we leave?"

"I don't want to get the plague, let's get out of here soon!"

...

Looking at the scene that was gradually becoming chaotic, Xu Rong's face darkened, and then she roared: "Rareless!"

The sound exploded like a bolt from the blue, which made the people present feel deafening and their heads buzzing.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all the villagers looked at Xu Rong with fear.

Xu Rong said in a deep voice: "From today on, this captain will stay here. If someone does not want to abide by the rules I set, don't blame me for being ruthless."

His eyes swept across everyone present, and his sharp eyes pierced into the hearts of every villager like sharp swords, making them afraid to look at them at all, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

"The plague is not good for a day, so everyone is not allowed to leave for a day. As for livelihood issues, I will report to the county magistrate and ask him to allocate some food, plus your own food, which is enough for you to eat."

I won’t go hungry when I hear it, and Xu Rong’s deterrence, the crowd has no intention of resisting for a moment.

Xu Rong winked at Liu Zizai.

Liu Zizai immediately said: "Captain Niu, now you can arrange it to separate the sick and the sick, and separate them in isolation."

"Also, remember to keep an eye on me. If there are fewer people in a family, then the corresponding one will be punished. You all will hear it clearly. Don't say you are wronged then."

"Yes, sir."

Village chief Niu Qi nodded and responded obediently, then turned his head and shouted loudly, "Did you hear it?"

"I heard it."

The villagers' voices started to scatter.

At this moment, some riots suddenly occurred among the villagers.

Xu Rong frowned slightly, followed the villagers' gaze and turned his head to look over.

A few Taoist priests wearing yellow Taoist robes came over, but were stopped by the constable and the yamen runners.

Xu Rong waved to Chen Xiaoer: "Call them over and ask them where they are from."

"Yes, head."

Chen Xiaoer responded and quickly walked to the five Taoist priests.

"Where are you from Taoist priests? What are you doing here?"

The Taoist priest in his forties looked about forty years old, with a fair face, and looked like a person from a wealthy family.

"I and others were invited to treat the villagers of Niutou Village."

Chen Xiaoer was not surprised by this.

Many rural villagers either took it over if they were sick, or they would find some barefoot doctors, Taoist priests, monks and other casual tricks.

Anyway, as long as the price is cheap, they will have a glimmer of hope.

In fact, it is essentially poor, looking down on doctors, and unable to afford medicine.

Chen Xiaoer was about to send these people away, but suddenly Xu Rongzheng waved to him.

He immediately understood: "You all come with me, the headmaster wants to see you."

The five Taoist priests looked at each other and the middle-aged Taoist priest in the lead asked: "We are just here to help the villagers see a doctor, but we have not done anything that is harmful to the world..."

"Where are nonsense coming from? Come here if you ask you to come."

Chen Xiaoer suddenly looked at the Taoist priests with his eyes up and down, "You are not guilty, are you? Did you do something illegal or disorderly?"

"How could it be?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest reluctantly smiled, "It's just that we are civilians, and we can't help but feel nervous when we see the captain."

As they were working hard, Xu Rong had already come over.

"Where are you Taoist priests? Take it out and show me."

Xu Rong stretched out his hand and stared at them with his eyes tightly, as if he would take action at any time.

The middle-aged Taoist priest in the lead smiled: "Should you wait, I'll show you now."

As he said that, the middle-aged Taoist priest groped on himself and gave a wink at the other four people at an angle that Xu Rong and others could not see.

"Sir, I didn't seem to bring it today. It must have been in the Taoist temple. Why would I send someone to go back to the Taoist temple with us?"
