Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 270 If you want to die, then die now!

As the number of recovered patients increased, Yang Jianwu's social media feed was constantly buzzing with notifications of new medical points being added, and his smile never faded.

The Ghost Doctor's good mood affected everyone else's, and the patients' good mood led to a rapid recovery.

After two more days of continued effort, there were no more critically ill patients. With Yang Jianwu's confirmation, Mo Ye ordered the lockdown zone to be lifted.

The few remaining patients were concentrated in a corner of Guning City. They were all elderly people whose bodily functions were declining, so their recovery was relatively slow.

The city seemed to have returned to its former prosperity, and many people began visiting relatives and friends to report that they were safe and sound.

Yang Jianwu's intention was to gather all the deceased and burn them outside the city.

Storing a large number of corpses in mortuaries can easily lead to secondary infections. The most effective way to deal with this is to destroy them in a centralized manner.

People with conservative ideas are naturally unwilling to burn the remains of their loved ones, as they are proof that the loved ones are still alive.

Mo Ye sent Hong Feng to lead a team to deal with the corpses. Around the mass grave on the outskirts of the city, several layers of people surrounded the area, protecting each other with their bodies.

"These are our loved ones, they must not be burned!"

“We’ll stand guard here. If you want to burn the corpses, you’ll have to step over us!”

"Yes! Step over us!"

The officers and soldiers dared not use force and could only report to their superiors, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.

Many people felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing their loved ones lying crookedly in the pit, and unconsciously wiped away their tears.

The officers and soldiers were also somewhat moved, as there were the corpses of their relatives among them, but due to their status, they had no choice.

Suddenly, a woman sat down on the ground and began to wail and scream, "Waaah! I'm the only one left alive in my whole family! Now that you're going to burn the body, why not just burn me too! I don't want to live anymore! Waaah! Burn me, so I can be reunited with my family! Waaah!"

Everyone in the village knew her, and when the villagers saw that it was Aunt Wu, they started whispering among themselves.

"Oh dear, Aunt Wu is so pitiful..."

"What's there to pity? It's just that Heaven is blind; good people don't live long, while evil ones live for a thousand years."

"What's wrong? Your tone sounds off."

"You don't know, do you? Aunt Wu and her whole family are very kind people, but Aunt Wu is always arguing with people. The whole family got the plague, and only Aunt Wu, who is tough, survived."

"That's true, those who did good didn't live to see the end..."

"I suspect she's making this scene because she wants to take advantage of the crowd and make her feel uncomfortable, so they'll give her more than she should."

Aunt Wu continued to sit on the ground crying. Occasionally, a few words would reach her ears, but she would secretly roll her eyes and pretend not to hear them.

The man in her family was the pillar of the household when he was alive, but now that the whole family is dead, how is she supposed to survive on her own? Her family home is far away from Guning City, and as a woman, she certainly can't go back. She can only hope that the government will give her more supplies when they distribute them.

"Waaah~ Honey, why didn't you take me with you? Waaah~~ The baby went with you too! How am I supposed to live alone? Waaah~~"

"If you want to die, then die now!"

A roar startled everyone. When they came to their senses, they saw that it was Yang Jianwu, dressed as the Ghost Doctor.

A servant came to report that a woman was causing trouble in front of the burial pit.

Yang Jianwu was not familiar with the people of Guning City. When he heard about this, his first thought was of this woman!

The reason is simple: Aunt Wu's selfishness is so extreme that it makes you want to kick her away.

Their family was fine before, but Aunt Wu's husband often went out to work and was not at home. A neighbor's family fell ill first, and there was no one in the family who could do a good job. Aunt Wu's parents-in-law were kind-hearted and went to help take care of them for two days. When they came back, Aunt Wu did not allow her parents-in-law to enter the house and only let them rest in the woodshed.

In the freezing cold, the elderly couple's bodies could not withstand the torment. Within a few days, they also fell ill due to their weakened state. At that time, they did not know it was an epidemic and thought it was just a common cold.

When Aunt Wu's husband returned home and saw that his parents had contracted the plague and were living in the woodshed, he was furious. He grabbed a wood-chopping knife and was about to attack Aunt Wu, but the neighbors stopped him.

People around Wu's husband advised that although Wu was unfilial, she did not deserve to die, and since the epidemic was spreading too quickly, it was not wrong for them to live separately.

Aunt Wu's husband finally calmed down and added more blankets for his parents and lit a heater.

When Aunt Wu saw that the only heater in the house had been moved to the woodshed, she was immediately unhappy. She cried and shouted that her husband was going to freeze her and the child to death. In the end, the old couple couldn't bear to see the child suffer from the cold, so they insisted that their son move it back into the house.

Aunt Wu's husband takes care of her parents every day, and her children also know how to help by serving tea and meals, but Aunt Wu stays far away.

Later, Aunt Wu's husband and children fell ill one after another, and many people in Guning City were also infected. It was only then that it was confirmed that they had contracted the plague.

Aunt Wu didn't want people to talk behind her back, so she was forced to take care of the whole family.

Aunt Wu's husband was unwell and lay in bed every day. Seeing Aunt Wu going in and out, he thought she had to take care of her parents as well, and he felt very guilty for making her suffer.

It wasn't until the old couple's bodies began to decompose and a passing villager noticed the stench and notified the local government that Wu's husband realized that Wu had never taken care of the old couple. She would leave a bowl of rice porridge at their door every day, never even entering the house, leaving them to fend for themselves.
