The two of them sat for a while, and after the heat dissipated, they felt a little more comfortable.

Jing Yao suggested: "Let's eat something cool for lunch. I think iced mung bean soup is very good. It can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also allow people to get a good rest in the afternoon. As for dinner, just tell me what you want to eat."

Wen Qun thought for a moment and replied, "I want to eat barbecue!"

Jing Yao smiled and responded, "Okay, let's have barbecue tonight. Do you want to eat Wagyu? We can just take out the beef in the space and cut it into thin slices and grill it."

Wen Qun licked his lips and nodded eagerly to show his approval. He hadn't tasted the delicious barbecue for a long time, and he was really craving for it.

Seeing that Wen Qun still had an appetite and was enjoying the food, Jing Yao felt a little relieved.

In the evening, Jing Yao cooked a pot of fragrant rice, prepared some kimchi, and mixed a small dish of beef sauce as a condiment.

On the other side, Wen Qun was busy fiddling with the barbecue grill. Various meat ingredients were placed on the grill. Some were cut into slices, some were cut into cubes, some were fresh and could be grilled directly, and others needed to be marinated to make them more delicious.

Although the weather was getting hotter, the water on the ground had not dried up yet and no one noticed anything unusual. The adults were busy with reconstruction work while the children started running around the village again.

"Help! Brother Yao, help! Save me..." A group of children playing outside the house shouted loudly.

Jing Yao turned his head and saw a few naked children standing by a stream not far away. There were a few other children surrounding them and looking at them with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Jing Yao ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoshu held his feet, didn't say a word, just kept crying. His already dark little face was now even more wrinkled, and his nose was running.

Xiao Wu next to him laughed even more happily. He said while laughing: "Brother Yao, we encountered a monster."

The other kids chimed in, "Yeah, what a huge group of monsters!"

As she spoke, she opened her arms and gestured to show him her body.

"No, it's not a monster, it's a water ghost." The person standing next to him immediately retorted.

"It's obviously a monster!" Xiao Shu felt very aggrieved, and explained with a pout: "It's a sea dragon, a dragon that lives in the sea!"

What a mess! Seeing that the war of words was about to escalate and develop into a situation where both sides were spitting at each other, Jing Yao hurriedly reached out and lifted Xiaoshu aside.

At this moment, another area appeared nearby, and a lobster as big as a human forearm emerged from the water.

Jing Yao quickly grabbed the lobster by the back, pulled out a vine from the side and tied it up, then threw it on the ground and said, "Okay, it's okay now."

Seeing that the thing was tied up by Jing Yao, everyone was no longer afraid and gathered around to watch.

Xiao Shu was also very polite and thanked Jing Yao: "Thank you, Brother Yao."

Wen Qun stood aside silently: "..." What a bunch of little kids with rich imaginations!

"You're welcome." Jing Yao thought to himself, this lobster was probably left over from the tsunami. It's been so long and it's still alive, it's lucky.

After knowing what it was, the fear in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly. There were even a few brave guys who were eager to jump into the puddle to continue catching it, but they were stopped by Jing Yao.

"Don't underestimate these things, they are not that easy to deal with! Although I caught them easily just now, I might get my fingers pinched off if I'm not careful!" Jing Yao said as he picked up a branch from the ground and held it in front of the lobster. The lobster quickly opened its claws and clamped the branch with force, and with a crisp "click" sound, the branch broke into two pieces on the spot.

After witnessing this astonishing scene, the few little kids who were originally ready to try immediately gave up the idea, and no one dared to try to catch lobsters anymore.

However, they still begged Jing Yao to give them the lobsters he caught.

"Brother Yao, do you want this prawn?"

"Brother Yao, I just happened to bring some salt with me, how about we roast it and try it?"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic requests, Jing Yao shook his head helplessly and said: "...You can keep it for yourselves, I'm not hungry yet." He knew very well that everyone did this with good intentions.

"Then I'll take it to Brother Qun Qun to eat. Just wait for me, it will be ready soon." As he was speaking, someone had already run to fiddle with the simple stove they had built with pebbles earlier, and began to look for dry firewood to make a fire.

However, Wen Qun had no interest in lobsters. He felt that they looked ugly when he saw them with their claws and teeth bared. "No, thank you. I don't really like shrimp."

Seeing Wen Qun's resistance, Jing Yao found it a little funny: "Actually, lobsters are delicious! Let's go catch some for you to try."

Wen Qun, who was originally extremely resistant to lobsters, began to feel hesitant when he heard Jing Yao say this.

"I can use meat to fish, which should make it easier to catch." Jing Yao thought that although he was not as good as Wen Qun in fishing, fishing for crayfish might be different.

However, before the two men could put their plan into practice, villagers came and gathered everyone to gather at the threshing ground.

It turned out that the neighboring Pinggu County had fallen into chaos due to food shortages.

It didn't matter that they were in a mess, but the problem was that the two counties were too close to each other. A large number of refugees poured into Lin'an County like a tide, and it was about to face the same dilemma.

If it were just ordinary refugees, the problem could be solved by appeasing and providing relief; but there were many bandits among these refugees, who committed many crimes and committed murders, but hid among the people, making it difficult to arrest them. After all, if these bandits were pushed into a corner, they might take risks and cause greater unrest.

Let’s not talk about the chaos that has not yet happened! At present, the biggest problems facing the village are reconstruction work and the increasingly hot sun.

After returning from the mountain with great difficulty, facing such scorching sun, there was not even a room with shade. Otherwise, people would get sunburned every day. Even at night, after the sun went down, the house was still too hot to stay.

If it was just the heat, maybe everyone could still bear it. After all, after the previous cold winter, people's adaptability is gradually increasing, and they are trying their best to adapt to the sun. However, the problem is that after this flood, the residential areas that were washed away not only did not become tidy, but became even dirtier and more chaotic.

The number of mosquitoes has exploded. These mosquitoes are already very toxic, and now they have been baptized by the flood, their toxicity has reached a new level.

You really can't be bitten at all! Once bitten, you will have diarrhea and fever at the very least. If you are lucky, you will survive it, but how many people can be so lucky?

More and more strange diseases broke out in the town, and people died every day. Among the people from Shangyan Village who were taken in by the village, several survived the flood but eventually died.

People who came back from the town said that a serious epidemic had broken out in the neighboring Pingyang County, and the reason they came back so late was because they almost got affected.

"The doctors in the city were helpless. Instead, the folk remedies prescribed by those herbalists worked. The whole body had to be smeared with that medicine, which looked green. But as long as it could block those scary pimples, it didn't matter if it was green." A person described it excitedly, gesticulating.

"What the hell is going on?"

Just by hearing his description, everyone began to imagine the scene. Many people found it a little unbearable to listen to, but some people were very interested in it and clamored for him to tell more.

"Tell me more about it."

"So what exactly caused this?"

"The doctor said that it might be caused by some kind of bug rubbing against it. People with weak bodies will have a stronger reaction, so they have all these bumps. But it is said that it is not too dangerous, and it will be fine once the bumps subside."

Jing Yao looked at the man with an injured arm wrapped in white cloth and felt a faint black aura emanating from him. This aura reminded Jing Yao of the zombies in the end times.

After noticing something unusual, Jing Yao quickly said, "Brother Zhang, your wound seems to be bleeding again! I happen to have some medicine here, I can help you bandage it."

"Oh my, that's true! Come on, let Yao take a look at it for you. He is also good at herbs!" someone echoed.

"Yes, yes, this time we were saved, all thanks to Yao! He saved a lot of people!" Another person also followed suit and praised.

"Yao is such a capable boy. If he doesn't open a factory, he will definitely be an excellent herbalist in the future!" someone else said.

Hearing everyone speaking well of Jing Yao, the man no longer had any doubts and confidently extended his hand to Jing Yao.

Jing Yao took out a bottle of medicine powder from his arms, carefully removed his bandage, and then began to apply medicine carefully and re-bandage it.

During this process, Jing Yao also used his special abilities to silently check the man's physical condition.

Jing Yao carefully observed the blood, and suddenly he found some strange dots moving in the blood. These dots were very small and smooth, and Jing Yao tried to crush them with his special ability, but he couldn't catch them.

Even though Jing Yao used his supernatural powers to expel the tiny waste from his body, these dots still existed and became a little bigger. Although they only grew a little bit, they were still very small.

After thinking for a while, Jing Yao decided to use his supernatural power to wrap these tiny beings and isolate them from the blood. This time the effect was remarkable. When the black spots were separated from the blood, they began to calm down. As time went by, they became completely still.

After a long search, Jing Yao finally confirmed that there was indeed no black spot on Zhang Qi's body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing." After the bandage was completed, the man thanked with gratitude.

Since the injury, Zhang Qi has been feeling pain in the wound, which follows him everywhere and makes him feel uncomfortable. In order to relieve the pain, he tried various drugs, but the effect was not satisfactory.

However, when Jing Yao changed the medicine for him, he immediately felt that his condition had improved, which made him admire Jing Yao's medical skills and began to understand why the villagers respected and admired Jing Yao so much.

"You're welcome. Change the dressing on the wound on time and remember not to get it wet." Jing Yao carefully reminded Zhang Qi.

At this time, Jing Yao noticed some people around him. Although they were not injured, there was a faint black aura surrounding them.

These black auras are looming, and if you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to detect their existence. These people are all those who have returned from Pingyang County.

Jing Yao thought that the black energy on these people might mean some potential danger, but the specific reason could not be determined at present.

However, the black gas has begun to dissipate on its own. Its size is so small that it does not leave any obvious wounds on the human body and cannot harm people, so it does not cause the situation of parasitizing the human body.

Suddenly, a horrifying memory flashed through Jing Yao's mind.

They were a group of people we met at the end of the world. When pustules grew on their bodies, the pustules eventually burst, and groups of extremely tiny insects crawled out of them.

The goosebumps still haunted him. Thinking back to that scene, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and could only pray that this matter had nothing to do with the Gu worm.

It seems that I need to pay more attention to abnormal situations around me to prevent accidents.

"The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter. Let's all go home. Be careful of mosquitoes at home. It's not easy to find a doctor now." Jing Yao said.

Everyone thought of what the person who had just returned said, and they did not dare to take Jing Yao's words lightly, so they all went back to prepare herbal remedies to repel insects.

Jing Yao hated mosquitoes so much that he even had a great psychological trauma. However, it was harder to guard against these hateful guys than to climb to heaven! They often appeared in groups, as if they could penetrate any hole. Unless you had an indestructible shield or a golden bell, you could not resist their invasion at all. You could only pray silently that you were lucky enough and would not be bitten by poisonous mosquitoes.

The house had been packed up long ago, but Jing Yao knew that the outside world was full of dangers and full of mosquitoes. Therefore, he did not let Wen Qun leave the house today.

Even though he had sprayed insect repellent on himself, Jing Yao still didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, no one could guarantee that they would not be bitten at all. Therefore, the wisest thing to do was to avoid going out as much as possible.

Jing Yao took out several bottles of carefully prepared medicine, handed them to Wen's father and mother, and told them to stay at home for the next few days, be careful and avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

In addition, he also wrote down several detailed recipes and handed them over to the village head, asking him to tell the villagers to prevent mosquito bites.
