Under the shouts of the guards, everyone lined up in twos and threes and arrived at the village square.
At this time, Hu Changan had already drawn a number of circles on the square with chalk. Each circle was about one meter apart. They were as neat as soldiers on a school field.
Hu Changan also put on his Taoist priest uniform and stood under the big tree in the square, closing his eyes and meditating.
The villagers looked at the circles all over the ground, and Monk Zhanger couldn't help but be confused.
Fortunately, Hu Chang'an was well prepared and explained to the villagers at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, this is Pindao's magic circle, which can protect you from the disease."
"But Pindao's magic power is limited. Only one person can stand in a circle, otherwise the magic power will be ineffective."
When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Oh my god, this is the magic circle of a living god, it must be effective!
Before Hu Changan shouted a second time, everyone consciously stood in a circle one by one.
Hu Changan also breathed a sigh of relief.
If we want to do something big this time, we can only call all the villagers to the square.
However, once people gather, there is a risk of cross-infection.
For this reason, Hu Changan also drew an epidemic prevention circle in advance.
Maintaining social distance is everyone's responsibility.
Seeing everyone standing still, Hu Changan cleared his throat and said sternly: "Everyone, have you discovered that some of you have concealed your infection status?"
Suddenly, some people in the crowd lowered their heads in guilt.
But some people were still dissatisfied. Hidden in the crowd and unable to see Hu Changan, they couldn't help shouting: "Taoist Master, there is really nothing we can do about this!"
"My brother works as an errand in the yamen. He heard from the officials that they would take all of us infected with the disease to the valley to fend for ourselves!"
"I have an elder and a younger one. If I leave, what will my mother-in-law and children do?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, people in the crowd stood up one after another to echo his words.
"That's right, if we go to the valley, where is the chance of survival? It's better to stay at home. Even if we die, we will die in our hometown."
"Taoist Priest, there is nothing we can do. If the government takes her away, what will my eighty-year-old mother do?"
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more angry, Hu Changan quickly picked up the gong next to him and struck it.
With a loud bang, everyone gradually calmed down and stopped talking.
Hu Changan cleared his throat and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Didn't your brother who was a servant in the county government tell you that this method was not thought up by the officials at the beginning, but by the poor Taoist!
"
What!
Everyone couldn't help being shocked and angry.
Does the Taoist priest also want to watch them die?
Some excited men even walked out of the circle on the ground and pulled Hu Changan to question him.
Just when the men were about to walk out of the circle, Hu Changan did not retreat but advanced, shouting sternly: "You fools, do you think Pindao is harming you? On the contrary, Pindao is doing it for your good!"
"This epidemic is coming with force and is extremely contagious."
"You should also feel that as soon as a healthy person comes into contact with an infected person, this cunning epidemic ghost will turn the healthy person into an infected person with lightning speed."
"It is simply impossible for the poor man's magic power to deal with the scattered plague ghosts."
"Only by gathering the plague ghosts in everyone, can Pindao use his magic power to annihilate the plague ghosts in one fell swoop!"
"Originally, Pindao wanted to force you into the valley regardless of your wishes. If your county magistrate Feng Qing hadn't kept begging Pindao, Pindao wouldn't have become so soft-hearted!"
It’s time for the shit basin that is currently held on the government to be taken away.
In the future, the government will organize personnel to fight the epidemic!
If the blame remains on the government, there is no guarantee that the people will not be resistant.
But Hu Changan is different.
Anyway, Hu Changan won't stay here for long. A bad reputation is not a big deal, as long as he can get over the current difficulties.
Just now, Hu Changan tried his best to explain the spread of the plague in a language that the villagers could understand.
He believed that with the understanding ability of the villagers, understanding this kind of thing should not be a problem.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.
It turns out that it was Taoist Master Hu who proposed this opinion?
And Daochang Hu actually does good for them?!
Thinking of this, those who originally concealed the epidemic could not help but lower their heads in shame.
Seeing that everyone believed his words, Hu Changan couldn't help but happily touched the fake beard on his chin.
It seems that it is time to proceed to the second step.
Hu Changan waved his hand, and a group of people walked slowly out of the alley in the village and lined up neatly behind Hu Changan.
These people were the elite troops sent by Prince Zhu Biao to Hu Changan.
Now, Hu Changan is preparing to officially implement the isolation system!
To this end, necessary force measures are also necessary.
Looking at the awed eyes of everyone, Hu Changan cleared his throat and continued: "Originally, Pindao wanted to work hard on his own to stop you from running around, but who knew you would dare to hide Pindao?!"
"As soon as you hide it like this, the plague ghost's magic power will be greatly enhanced. Now the poor man is powerless!"
"If you don't want everyone to die here, please ask those who have been infected to come forward and follow Pindao to the nearby valley to recuperate."
"Pindao promises that you will have water and food there, and a doctor will come to treat you."
After saying that, Hu Changan waved his hand again, and saw a group of fully armed doctors walking slowly from behind, carrying medicine boxes on their backs.
The leader is none other than Dr. Xu!
When Hu Changan proposed that all patients be sent to the valley for isolation, although Imperial Physician Xu did not agree with this view, when everything was settled, he was the first to propose going to the valley to take care of the patients.
When other doctors received the news, they also expressed their duty to go to the valley to take care of the patients without hesitation.
As doctors, they actually understand the horror of this epidemic best.
But for the sake of their patients, they are fearless!
There is nothing more benevolent than this!
Hu Changan was also greatly moved by this, and even discussed with Imperial Physician Xu how to treat these plague patients.
Initially, Imperial Physician Xu was a little dismissive of this young man who knew nothing about the world, but after a period of discussion, his view of Hu Changan greatly changed.
Although this young man does not come from a family that practices medicine, and has not conducted systematic study, he has his own set of opinions on medical skills.
Sometimes, even the experienced Dr. Xu would be shocked by Hu Changan's unbridled ideas.
