Chapter 70 This is Our Fate
"Who are you? Who told you to get close to here? Let's go!" The official guarding the entrance of the village drove people away politely. "You can't see well? Can't you see that there is an official blocking the road here?"
Lu Xiaoyun said calmly: "We have just settled in Dahuang Village. If you drive us away without asking a question, does the county magistrate's words have no effect on you?"
"New settlement? Are you crazy? Don't know what's going on in Jiangyang Town now? Why didn't you ask about the deserted village?" The official sneered, "I've seen people who want to die, but I've never seen someone so eager to seek death."
The other party has no ill intentions, he is just angry.
Lu Xiaoyun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said calmly: "I am a doctor, maybe I can cure the plague in the deserted village?"
"You?" The officer didn't believe it at all, "Go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to come out again after you go in! Go, go, go quickly, don't hinder us."
Lu Yuanming took a step forward and took out the household registration he had just obtained: "This is our household registration. It's convenient for the official."
The irritable officer was stunned when he saw Lu Yuanming's name, and quickly pulled his companion, "Look, I admitted it right? Lu Yuanming?"
Several other literate officials passed by and took a look, some in disbelief.
The grumpy old man asked cautiously: "Are you General Lu?"
"I don't dare to be a general. Now I am just a commoner." Lu Yuanming looked calm.
When the officials heard this, they broke out in cold sweat.
They only knew that Lu Yuanming was exiled to the northwest. They didn't know much about it, but no one dared to pretend to be Lu Yuanming.
"General, now that the plague is spreading in this deserted village, why don't you go to the town and live there first? It's really not the right time to go to the deserted village at this time." The officials did not dare to be angry anymore. Lu Yuanming's name resounded throughout the Wei Dynasty.
He was irritated, but they were the ones who were unlucky.
Lu Yuanming said: "No, just let us in. My daughter does have medical skills, maybe she can be of some help."
"General, that is a plague, not an ordinary disease. If you catch it, you will die. Otherwise..."
"I can do it." Lu Xiaoyun said firmly, "Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm incompetent in medical skills. Sir, we appreciate your kindness. People in the village still need help, so don't stop us."
The officials looked at each other and finally chose to let him go.
"General, I'll tell you the ugly story before now. No matter who goes into the deserted village, they are not allowed to come out again. We have already advised you, and we hope that the general will not embarrass us when the time comes."
"No, we will take responsibility for our actions. If it really cannot be cured, it is because we are not good at learning and cannot blame you."
"Thank you, General, for your understanding, please."
The carriage passed the checkpoint and slowly headed towards the deserted village.
The officials looked at Lu Yuanming's back and couldn't help but sigh. How could such a powerful person be forced to settle in a place like a deserted village?
It is true that if the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
The road was very bumpy, and Lu Xiaoyun couldn't bear it, so he jumped off the carriage and chose to walk.
Seeing this, the others also followed down.
They walked for two-quarters of an hour before they could vaguely see a roof.
"We've finally arrived." Lu Dalang said, "But can we grow crops in this place?"
Looking at the land that was like a desert, Lu Dalang was worried.
"The villagers in the deserted village have been here for generations. There must be crops that can be grown. Just stay alive and figure out other solutions slowly." Lu Xiaoyun was much more optimistic than Lu Dalang.
For her who comes from the apocalypse, a deserted village is almost like a paradise, so what if it's a little more desolate? It's better than an apocalypse where danger and murderous intent are everywhere!
"You're right, people think of ways. At least we are innocent now, and the children can behave openly without being poked in the back." Old Mrs. Lu agreed with Lu Xiaoyun's words, "Being alive is better than anything else."
Mrs. Zhao grabbed Lu Dalang's ears and said, "You are the only one who pours cold water on me every day. Who do you think is like you?"
"Daughter-in-law, it hurts, please let go, the children are watching!" Lu Dalang begged Zhao in a low voice.
"Do you still know it hurts?" Ms. Zhao glared at him and then let go of him.
Lu Dalang didn't dare to speak.
Mrs. Lu seemed to have not seen this scene.
This is the cleverness of Mrs. Lu. She never gets involved in the affairs between her son and daughter-in-law. She believes that when her son gets married, as a mother-in-law, she should not point fingers. After all, when she is too old to walk in the future, she still has to decide whether she can live a good life.
Look at my daughter-in-law.
Sometimes if the young couple really quarrels badly, she will help her daughter-in-law instead of blaming her without explanation. Therefore, the three daughters-in-law are very filial to her, and the family will have small frictions, but there will be no major conflicts.
After another quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the deserted village.
The deserted village lives up to its name.
The village is located at the foot of a mountain that can only be regarded as a small hill in Lu Xiaoyun's opinion, with only eighteen households.
Lu Xiaoyun stood at the end of the village and listened intently. All he could hear was coughing and desperate crying.
"You guys wait here while I go find the village chief." Lu Xiaoyun said. Although she is still very weak now, her immunity is much stronger than that of the Lu family.
"I'll go." Lu Huaiyuan said, "Just wait here."
"Don't argue with me." Lu Xiaoyun said to Lu Huaiyuan. After a pause, she took out a stack of cloth covers she specially made from the small cloth bag, "You all put this on, don't take it off."
"What is this?" Lu Yuanming was surprised.
"Covers can prevent diseases." Lu Xiaoyun gave them the cloth covers and demonstrated how to put them on.
There is no way, there is no such thing as a mask in the apocalypse, she can't come out with a gas mask, right?
However, this simple version of the mask still has protective effects.
In ancient times, wind and cold were fatal, and influenza was more serious than wind and cold.
The people in the Lu family were used to Lu Xiaoyun often taking out strange things and putting them on as she asked.
Lu Xiaoyun just entered the village.
She knocked on the first door.
The person who opened the door was a seventy-year-old lady with a sick look on her face. When she saw that it was a strange little girl, she quickly covered her mouth and backed away and closed the door. "Little girl, what are you doing in this deserted village? Leave quickly, don't come here to die."
"Grandma, I am Lu Xiaoyun who has just settled in the deserted village. From now on, we will be members of the same village. I want to ask you where the village chief is?"
"What a crime. Others are eager to leave...ahem...a deserted village. Why are you still running to a deserted village now? Ahem..."
After the old lady finished speaking, she began to cough heartbreakingly, showing no signs of stopping.
"Grandma, I know a little bit about medicine. You open the door first and I'll take a look at your illness." Lu Xiaoyun knocked hard on the door. She didn't dare to kick the door for fear of scaring the old lady to death.
"What's the use? Two doctors have already come here, and they both ended up contracting the plague. This is the fate of the deserted village!"
