They in the 70s

The smell of disinfectant is everywhere in the hospital.

In the emergency room, the doctor is examining Xiao Chunsheng.

Li Yueru was crying in anxiety, Lu Zhansheng, He Zhi, and Zheng Yan were standing by the side, all staring, anxiously waiting for the results of the examination.

The doctor was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looked very reliable. After examining Xiao Chunsheng, he put on a stethoscope, took off his mask, and said to several people: "There is inflammation in the heart and lungs, and it doesn't look like the common cold." , a blood test is required."

Li Yueru didn't quite understand what the test was for, but seeing the seriousness on the doctor's face, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Li Yueru didn't have any relatives at all. After her husband passed away suddenly, she lived alone. Her only wish was to raise her child well, and the child was her life.

"Don't worry too much."

Lu Zhansheng noticed that Li Yueru suddenly became very scared, and immediately comforted her: "It's okay, the blood test is to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible, it's just a normal examination, it's not a dangerous thing."

After hearing this, Li Yueru was not at ease, she was worried, and habitually looked at He Zhi.

He Zhi frowned and didn't speak.

Blood tests are not dangerous, but the results of the tests are not certain.

Xiao Chunsheng was only a few months old, and after the injection, he cried heart-rendingly. At that time, not to mention Li Yueru, even Lu Zhansheng couldn't bear the pain, so he couldn't hold it back, and shouted to the doctor: "You Take it easy!"

The doctor looked at him, looking helpless, but ignored him.

Zheng Yan also stomped on the spot in distress, and He Zhi's eyes were even red.

Lu Zhan was afraid that Li Yueru would not be able to hold on, so he wanted to take Xiao Chunsheng over, but Li Yueru was reluctant to let go and insisted on holding the child. He had no choice but to help Li Yueru to sit on the stool in the consulting room, and then immediately told Zheng Yan Send the blood sample to the laboratory together.

The waiting time was particularly long. After sending the blood sample to the testing window, Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan were very anxious. They kept pacing outside, wanting to dig a hole in the hospital floor.

After finally waiting for the window to open again, the two of them rushed back to the consulting room with the checklist.

After reading the test sheet, the doctor's expression became more serious, and he asked Lu Zhansheng: "Is there a lot of people with this symptom in your village recently?"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhansheng immediately said: "There are already more than a dozen people."

"doctor."

Zheng Yan also immediately asked: "What kind of disease is this, is it influenza?"

The doctor nodded upon hearing this, then shook his head again.

"It's an epidemic caused by a virus, but it's not a common cold..."

Seeing that the doctor said a lot of technical terms with the test results, Lu Zhansheng couldn't understand, so he asked directly, "Just tell me what kind of disease it is, and how did it cause it?"

The doctor was interrupted, stopped helplessly, and then continued: "This virus is mostly found in sick poultry animals, and it is generally not transmitted to humans, but if it is contagious, it means that the virus has mutated. It caused highly contagious avian virus influenza among humans, so I suspect that your village may have avian plague."

Bird plague?

Isn't that the plague?

Everyone immediately became tense again.

Lu Zhansheng suddenly remembered that when he went to Grandma Sun's house these two days, he always heard Grandma Sun talking about it. For some reason, the chickens at home suddenly stopped laying eggs, and all of them looked particularly listless and listless. This is also the case with chickens, ducks and geese. Some people even slaughtered chickens and ducks because they stopped laying eggs. Grandma Sun also said at the time that she wanted to stew a chicken for them to eat, but he stopped her.

At that time, there were not so many sick people in the village, so Lu Zhansheng didn't pay much attention. Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that he stopped Grandma Sun at that time.

"Then is the disease serious?"

Lu Zhansheng asked, "Is it easy to treat?"

"Can be cured."

The doctor said: "But it's hard to say whether it will be cured or not, and whether it can be completely cured. It depends on the length of the patient's illness and the strength of the individual's immunity."

"What about my baby?"

Li Yueru immediately asked anxiously: "My baby just started to have a fever today, and I just discovered it. Is my baby's condition easy to treat?"

The doctor looked at the test sheet again and said, "Judging from the results of the blood test, the virus index in the child's body is not high, and the chance of being cured is still very high."

Upon hearing this, Li Yueru breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly wiped away her tears, and carried the child to the doctor's side: "Doctor, then I will leave my baby to you."

The doctor looked at Li Yueru, then at Xiao Chunsheng in her arms, and said: "The child needs to be hospitalized in this situation, you should pay the fee first."

"... "

It is a matter of course to spend money to pay for medical treatment and hospitalization.

But for some reason, when he heard the doctor say this, Lu Zhansheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

It feels like...

The doctor thinks they don't know what to pay, or don't plan to pay?

Feeling uncomfortable and having an idea, Lu Zhansheng wanted to say it, but when the words came to his lips, He Zhi held him back.

He Zhi pulled him out of the consultation room, and immediately went straight to the payment window.

Looking at it now, fortunately Zhou Mingliang sent 15 yuan in time, so he didn't have to worry about whether to send it back or not.

After paying the fee, Lu Zhansheng saw with his own eyes that Xiaochunsheng was assigned to the ward, was taken care of by the doctor, put on an IV, and fed the medicine, so he finally felt relieved.

But this side was relieved, and the worries about the villagers began again.

There are many adults and children in the village who seem to have the same cold symptoms.

If according to what the doctor said, it was really poultry that got sick and then infected people, then the chickens, ducks and geese in their house are equivalent to the source of infection.

Every household in Shimen Village has chickens, ducks and geese. I don't know how long the disease has started. Right now, everyone in the village is very dangerous.

"He Zhi, you stay with Sister Yueru and Chunsheng."

Lu Zhansheng handed over the remaining six yuan to He Zhi after paying the hospitalization fee: "I will go back to the village with Zheng Yan."

As for what they will do when they go back, there is no need to say much.

He Zhi seemed a little worried, and tried to suggest to Lu Zhansheng: "Otherwise, you should stay, and I will go back with Zheng Yan."

"no!"

Lu Zhansheng almost immediately rejected He Zhi's proposal.

Now the village is full of sources of infection, and the situation is very dangerous. He Zhi's physical fitness is not very good. If he is infected, he doesn't know what will happen. Lu Zhansheng doesn't want He Zhi to take this risk.

Moreover, the key is to stop the further fermentation of poultry plague and cut off the source of disease transmission. We must start with the poultry in the village.

Poultry means a lot to the people of Shimen Village. Every year at the end of winter and early spring, when food is in short supply, they rely on the eggs laid by their chickens, ducks and geese to support their families and children. Handing over the ducks and geese for centralized destruction would be tantamount to killing them.

The nature of this matter is completely different from the previous dog trapping operation, and the degree of difficulty is obvious.

Lu Zhansheng didn't think that He Zhi could make the people in the village accept him willingly just by reasoning.

Although he only said two words, Lu Zhansheng's meaning was very clear: he disagreed, and there was no room for negotiation.

He Zhi just looked at him for a moment, then said, "Then you should pay attention to the way you solve the problem, and try not to act aggressively."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng didn't say a word. He knew that if everyone was asked to hand over the chickens and ducks, the villagers would absolutely not agree. At that time, he might have to forcibly confiscate the chickens and ducks. Conflicts would inevitably arise.

He Zhi probably thought of this too, knowing that it would be useless to tell Lu Zhansheng, he frowned for a while, and then said to Zheng Yan: "Zheng Yan, you must first reason with the villagers, and compare the seriousness of this matter with that of the villagers. They made it clear that it is not necessary, so don't confront them head-on."

"Oh, I see."

Zheng Yan's thinking was similar to Lu Zhansheng's, but he didn't want to entangle with He Zhi about this matter, so he agreed first. "Brother Hezhi, don't bother with the affairs of the village. Just stay An An and take care of Xiao Chunsheng and Sister Yueru. Don't worry, we both know what to do."

After hearing this, He Zhi hesitated for a moment, then took the two of them to the pharmacy of the hospital to buy some medicine.

Lu Zhansheng recognized those medicines, and the doctor gave Xiao Chunsheng almost the same medicines, and he also looked at them carefully at the time. He originally planned to find a way to get some money to buy these medicines back after he went back to the village to deal with the poultry. According to the habit of those people in the village, if they were not seriously ill, they would not come to the hospital.

He Zhi stuffed the medicine into Lu Zhansheng's hand: "Give the children the medicine first when we go back."

Lu Zhansheng nodded: "Yes."

He Zhi frowned and thought about it, then went to buy some masks, alcohol, and disinfectant.

After buying those, He Zhi sent them to the gate of the hospital and gave them some instructions.

"This epidemic is very contagious. You should also pay attention to your own safety. Remember to wear masks and carry alcohol with you. After disposing of those poultry, don't forget to spray disinfectant to disinfect them."

"Oh, I see."

Zheng Yan took the bag, turned to look at Lu Zhansheng, and found that Lu Zhansheng was looking at He Zhi, as if he had something to say, he thought for a while, then turned around, and went to hit the donkey cart first.

In fact, Lu Zhansheng didn't have anything special to say, but he felt a little uneasy about letting He Zhi stay in the hospital by himself, and seeing He Zhi's worried appearance, he was also a little reluctant to leave.

It happened that there was no one around, so Lu Zhansheng went directly to hug He Zhi, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry too much, I will solve this matter soon."

He Zhi also hugged him, nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "Promise me, try not to fight with the villagers, okay?"

Ugh.

Lu Zhansheng directly sighed: "He Zhi, you know what it means to touch their chickens and ducks."

"It's because I know that I don't want you to fight with them."

He Zhi said, "I don't want you to be in danger."

"Ok?"

Lu Zhansheng didn't quite understand what he said, so he let go, looked at He Zhi, and asked, "Dangerous?"

He Zhi said, "I'm afraid they might hurt you if they get anxious."

Lu Zhansheng frowned.

He Zhi said again: "I don't want you to fight, not because of the fight itself, but because of the danger it brings. I don't want you to be in danger."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng never thought that it turned out that He Zhi had been very angry with him for fighting with others all this time because of this.

Lu Zhansheng suddenly felt a little dumbfounded. "He Zhi, do you have any misunderstanding about my strength? Don't worry, they can't beat me. Who am I? How could I..."

"You said that before!"

He Zhi seemed a little anxious to interrupt him again, and then his eyes started to turn red: "But you are still injured."

Lu Zhansheng: ...

The scar on his stomach had been exposed, Lu Zhansheng had nothing to say, so he could only pouted: "Okay, then I promise you, try not to fight with them, and don't let yourself get hurt."

"And promise to protect yourself."

He Zhi reached out and touched his face, and said solemnly, "Don't get sick."

"Ah."

Lu Zhansheng nodded seriously: "I promise you, I won't get sick."

-----

After spending most of the night in the hospital, after Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan returned to Shimen Village, it was already the next morning, and the sky had just dawned.

Song Jian and Zhao Jun are waiting at the entrance of the village.

Seeing their car, Song went all the way to meet them, and found that there were only two of them in the car, and immediately asked anxiously, "Where's Xiao Chunsheng?"

"Chunsheng is hospitalized."

Zheng Yan said: "Don't worry, the child is fine, but because he is too young, the effect of hospital treatment will be better."

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Jian asked again: "What is the disease, has it been found out?"

"The doctor said it was a viral infection."

Zheng Yan said: "The results of the blood test show that there is a high probability that it was infected by sick poultry. The doctor suspects that there may be an outbreak of poultry plague in our village."

"plague?"

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

"What do I say!"

Zhao Jun opened his eyes wide in shock, as if he had suddenly realized. "I just said why so many people have been sick recently. During the time you went to the hospital, at least a dozen people in the village fell ill."

After hearing this, both Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan felt a sense of urgency.

Lu Zhansheng asked: "Are there any serious illnesses?"

"It doesn't seem to be there yet."

Song Jian said: "Except for Aunt Liu who was in serious condition yesterday, everyone else seems to have relatively mild symptoms such as fever and runny nose."

"That's good."

Lu Zhansheng jumped out of the car after speaking.

Tong Xiaoxue asked with red eyes: "Is this infectious disease serious? Will it be fatal?"

"do not know."

Lu Zhansheng said truthfully: "But what is certain is that when the disease develops to a serious stage, it will definitely be fatal."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun immediately asked, "Then what should we do?"

Lu Zhansheng said: "Let's find a way to control the spread of the disease first."

"How to control it?"

Li Dabao also blushed anxiously: "What can we do?"

"Do whatever you can."

Lu Zhansheng went to the car to take out the masks he brought back, opened a pack, gave each of us a piece, and said: "From now on, everyone wears masks, and you are not allowed to take them off casually."

Everyone immediately put on their masks obediently.

Lu Zhansheng took some alcohol and disinfectant, and handed it to Tong Xiaoxue: "You three girls go back immediately, disinfect the house, and then close the doors and windows. If you don't call you, don't come out again."

"What about you?"

Tong Xiaoxue asked worriedly: "What are you going to do?"

"We plan to eliminate the source of infection first."

Lu Zhansheng turned his head to the boys and continued: "Listen, the epidemic is just beginning to spread among the population. It should be the most contagious time, and there is a certain danger, so think about it yourself. To confiscate the poultry in the village, anyone who is willing to participate can follow me, and if you don’t want to, don’t force it, just go back to the house and stay and don’t come out, this is not a matter of self-esteem and face.”

After speaking, Lu Zhansheng took all the remaining masks and medicines and walked directly to the village.

Zheng Yan added: "And this danger is not just the risk of getting sick. We all know how much the villagers value their chickens and ducks. They will not accept the reality unless it is absolutely necessary, but we can't just sit back and watch. Waiting, so conflicts with the villagers are likely to break out."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yan followed Lu Zhansheng and walked towards the village.

Song Jian didn't say anything, and followed directly.

Zhao Jun and Li Dabao hesitated for a moment, feeling that if such a big event happened, if everyone stepped forward, they couldn't be cowards, so they looked at each other, and after cheering each other up, they also raised their legs and followed.

At that time, it was dawn and early morning, when the sun was rising.

The young men just walked towards the village under the radiant glow without looking back.

This scene seems familiar.

The girls just looked at their firm backs from behind, sourness appeared in their noses, and Tong Xiaoxue even shed tears.

Like last time, the boys went to the village to fight a tough battle that was destined to be difficult for the villagers to understand and accept.

But not the same, because this time.

They are facing the rising sun and going towards the light.

After arriving in the village, the boys first went to Wu Changde's house.

Hearing that Lu Zhansheng and the others said it was a plague, Wu Changde was also taken aback immediately. He immediately asked his family members to wear the masks that Zheng Yan gave them.

But when Lu Zhansheng said that all the poultry in the village must be killed, Wu Changde felt that it was impossible.

"Isn't that chicken plague?"

Wu Changde said: "Our village has had this kind of situation before. Feed some medicine to the chickens and ducks. When the chickens and ducks are cured, people will be fine."

"Branch secretary."

Zheng Yan tried to explain: "The virus this time may be different from the previous ones. Ordinary epidemic chicken plague is not easy to infect humans. Once there is a phenomenon of human transmission, it means that the virus has mutated and is not ordinary. Chicken plague, and this virus damages the heart and lung function of people, and when the disease evolves seriously, it will cause people to have difficulty breathing and cardiac arrest, which is very fatal."

"It's not as serious as you say."

Wu Changde said: "There are so many infected people in our village, they are fine, and they are all fine now."

"OK?"

Lu Zhansheng originally knew that he was impatient, so he didn't intend to interrupt. He wanted to leave the reasonable work to Zheng Yan, but after hearing what Wu Changde said, he couldn't help it, and immediately raised his eyes and asked Wu Changde:

"Yesterday Aunt Liu's situation was so good, so why are you in such a hurry to find He Zhi!"

"... "

Wu Changde was so choked that he couldn't refute.

Speaking of it, Wu Changde was actually very embarrassed. He now had a certain understanding of this group of educated youths and knew that they would not insist on doing this without causing trouble.

But the chickens and ducks are the hope of the people in Shimen Village to survive the famine every year. They are the straw to save their lives. If they touch their chickens and ducks, they will fight with others. At that time, even his steadfast party secretary will be useless. If he allows If this group of educated youths insists on hunting them down, it will inevitably lead to a mess.

Wu Qingqing asked worriedly: "Is there a way not to kill chickens and ducks?"

Zheng Yan sighed: "No, poultry is the source of the infection. We must cut off the source as soon as possible, and then isolate the sick villagers for treatment, so as to quickly control the epidemic and prevent it from continuing to develop."

Wu Qingqing thought for a while, and then asked: "Is it okay to catch the chickens and ducks that are sick and keep the ones that are not sick?"

"no!"

Lu Zhansheng directly said: "Looking at the current situation, although the disease has just begun to spread to humans, it should have been transmitted among poultry for a long time. Presumably, the chickens and ducks in the village are more or less infected with the virus, and we can't get rid of them all. There is no way to completely eliminate the hidden danger.”

Hearing this, Wu Qingqing immediately didn't know what else to do.

Zheng Yan patted Wu Qingqing's shoulder lightly, comforted her, then turned to Wu Changde and said: "Secretary, the longer the delay, the worse it will be for the control of the epidemic. We must do this. You don’t need your consent, you just need to convey it to the folks in the village and let them know why we did this.”

Wu Changde frowned and said nothing.

Song Jian also said: "The control of the epidemic is the work of your village leadership and the epidemic prevention office. Now there is no epidemic prevention office in the county, and you don't pay attention to it. As a result, we have to participate. But the branch secretary, you should know that we can also do it." To put it bluntly, we don’t have our own family in the village.”

Hearing this, Wu Changde struggled for a while. He felt that what Song Jian said made sense. The villagers did not have the family members of these educated youths. The life and death of the villagers had nothing to do with these educated youths. , but they insist on doing this now, after all, it is for the good of the villagers.

After struggling for a long time, Wu Changde finally slapped his thigh: "Okay, listen to you."

Wu Changde planned to ring the bell to call everyone to a meeting at the entrance of the village, but was stopped by Lu Zhansheng. It is not suitable for people to gather in large numbers at this time, otherwise cross-infection will easily occur, so Wu Changde had to go door-to-door to notify.

After leaving Wu Changde's house, Lu Zhansheng and the others went to Grandma Sun's house first.

Lu Zhansheng was worried about the old man's physical condition, so he first took Grandma Sun's temperature.

Fortunately, recently, the elderly always like to save eggs, and they don’t eat them themselves, and they also like to be clean. They wash their hands every time they go to the chicken coop after digging out eggs, so they are not infected with the virus, and there is no abnormality in their bodies.

The boys were all relieved, and Lu Zhansheng explained the reason concisely. Although Grandma Sun was very reluctant, she still agreed, and handed over the small basket of eggs saved at home.

After Zheng Yan took the sick chicken away with gloves, Lu Zhansheng stayed to help Grandma Sun clean up the chicken coop, and sprinkled disinfectant on every corner of Grandma Sun's house.

After finishing, Lu Zhansheng felt that Grandma Sun looked a little sad, so he helped her back to the house and sat down, squatted down in front of her knees, and said to her: "Grandma, don't feel bad, when this plague is cured, I will take care of you." I'll get you another basket of chicks and ducklings, and we'll just keep raising them."

"Good baby."

Grandma Sun smiled and patted his head when she heard the words: "With your words, Grandma won't feel bad."

"Yeah." Lu Zhansheng also smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be the first one in our village to support us."

"You are doing it for everyone's benefit, grandma knows about it."

As Grandma Sun spoke, the smile gradually faded from her face, she sighed, and then she began to look a little sad. "I can understand and support it, because my baby died of an infectious disease at that time."

Lu Zhansheng suddenly felt as if something blocked him, and he asked Grandma Sun: "Is it also a plague?"

"Yes."

Grandma Sun said: "That time it was caused by rats. His father and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but it was already serious when we found out later that we couldn't save it..."

"grandmother…"

Seeing that Grandma Sun's eyes were red, Lu Zhansheng interrupted her softly: "It's all over, let's not think about that."

Grandma Sun looked at him when she heard the words: "Is the baby scared?"

"Not afraid."

Lu Zhansheng said: "There is no way to predict man-made disasters and natural disasters. You have to admit it when you encounter it. I just don't want you to think of those sad things again."

"It's okay." Grandma Sun rubbed her eyes and said, "Grandma has lived most of her life, so she can think about it."

"Yes." Lu Zhansheng shook Grandma Sun's hand and smiled at her: "Grandma, I will be here in the future. I will honor you and ensure that you will live a good life."

"Good baby."

When Grandma Sun heard this, she just looked at him for a moment, and the smile on her face resumed. "It's great that you can come to our village."

Lu Zhansheng smiled again, then took out a new mask from his pocket, put it in Grandma Sun's hand, and said: "If you have nothing to do these two days, don't go out, and if you have something to do, put on the mask before going out. I'll come and see you tonight."

Grandma Sun nodded after hearing this, and also warned: "Now the disease is spreading seriously, you children should be careful."

"know."

Lu Zhansheng showed Grandma Sun his mask and gloves. "We have done a good job in protective measures, and nothing will happen."

"Then be careful."

Grandma Sun patted his head again: "You can't be sick."

"Ah."

Lu Zhansheng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't be sick."

------

Lu Zhansheng had read in an epidemic prevention brochure before that when chicken plague occurs, there are usually two ways to deal with sick chickens. One is to sterilize and dig deep into the ground, and the other is to burn them directly.

At first, everyone thought it would be better to bury them deep. After all, incineration would produce harmful gases and cause some pollution. They planned to catch a batch and bury a batch immediately, just outside the village on the hillside.

When he passed Li Yueru's house with the chickens from Grandma Sun's house, Lu Zhansheng thought about catching her geese as well.

But after entering the yard, Lu Zhansheng unexpectedly found that there were four geese in Li Yueru's house, but now there are only three left. Even though he searched the whole yard inside and outside the house, the other two geese were not alive or dead.

After pondering for a while, Lu Zhansheng suspected that someone stole the goose when Li Yueru's house was empty.

As for who stole the goose, Lu Zhansheng didn't even need to guess, and he felt that the goose had probably been eaten now.

Under the current circumstances, Lu Zhansheng didn't care to pursue this matter immediately, but this incident gave him some inspiration. He suddenly realized that these sick chickens and ducks caught could not be buried, but had to be burned, because it is very likely that their front feet would be destroyed. If they are buried, someone will dig them up and eat them.

One can imagine how terrible the consequences would be.

After Lu Zhansheng told Zheng Yan about this, everyone finally agreed that it would be better to burn it.

So, the boys lit a fire on the threshing ground, and first threw the chickens and geese caught from Grandma Sun and Li Yueru's house directly into the fire and burned them.

After burning this batch, Lu Zhansheng and the others went to Aunt Liu's house again.

At this time, Wu Changde had finished notifying the house-to-house, and was finally talking to Aunt Liu's husband about the seriousness of the matter.

But it doesn't make sense, people in Shimen Village are like this, they are used to not crying when they don't see a coffin.

Aunt Liu's husband firmly disapproved of the educated youths grabbing his chickens and ducks. As soon as a few educated youths arrived at their house, he immediately went to pick up the shovel.

"Why don't you recognize anyone!"

Wu Changde was afraid of a fight, so he quickly scolded: "Who saved your mother-in-law and aunt yesterday! They saved you! They didn't harm you!"

Aunt Liu's husband held up a shovel and stopped in front of his chicken coop. He seemed very excited: "The chickens and ducks are sick and cured with medicine, why do they have to be slaughtered! We still have to rely on these chickens and ducks to raise babies!" "

"If this disease can be cured, why should we kill it!"

Wu Changde continued to reprimand: "This is the decision of the village. If you stop it, you are going against the organization. It is enough to send you to the county and lock it up!"

"Then lock me up!"

Aunt Liu's husband said excitedly: "Anyway, as long as I'm here, you don't want to touch my chickens and ducks!"

Seeing that the reasoning didn't make sense, Lu Zhansheng planned to take him away by force, but when he was about to pass by, he inadvertently glanced at the door of the house, and saw Aunt Liu's child.

Lu Zhansheng had heard people say before that Aunt Liu originally had two children, and the eldest died when he was a teenager. The one in front of him was only eight or nine years old, and he was the heart of Aunt Liu's family. Aunt Liu's husband must be so excited because of this. child.

Lu Zhansheng hesitated for a while, then turned his head and walked towards the child.

"brat."

Lu Zhansheng squatted down in front of the child. They were exactly the same height. He asked the child, "Can you understand why we took away your chickens and ducks?"

The child nodded and said, "Because they are sick."

"Well, yes, but not entirely."

Lu Zhansheng said: "If they were just sick, we would treat them, but now they are not only sick, they have also transmitted the disease to people, causing people's lives to be threatened, so we have to take them away. Can you understand?"

The child nodded again: "Yes, Teacher He Zhi told us such a story in class."

"Oh?"

Lu Zhansheng asked, "What story?"

The child said: "Once upon a time, there was a warrior who was accidentally bitten by a poisonous tongue. In order to prevent the poisonous snake from spreading all over his body, causing him to die beyond treatment, he endured the pain and cut off the bitten part with his own hands. This story tells us that we must know how to take into account the overall situation when encountering things, and learn to make a decisive decision at a critical moment. The name of this story is "A Strong Man Cuts His Wrist."

The strong man broke his wrist.

Regarding the story of this idiom, Lu Zhansheng heard many versions told by He Zhi when he was a child. He listened to it many times, but even the version of the war in the Three Kingdoms era that he was most interested in, he has never had a deep feeling. .

But now, at such a moment, hearing such a simple version from a child, he suddenly felt the spiritual power conveyed by this idiom.

A gentleman abandons his flaws to cultivate his talents, and a strong man cuts off his wrists to gain his whole quality.

In order to preserve more important things, when necessary, I reluctantly give up other things.

Some heroic sacrifices are far better than annihilation of the whole army.

Lu Zhansheng suddenly felt a little moved. Let the children understand the truth, learn to think, and know what to choose. This is the meaning of He Zhi's proposed school, and it is not in vain.

When Zheng Yan and Song saw that they had heard the child's words, they immediately felt very relieved.

They all feel that it's okay, everything doesn't matter anymore, even if the villagers can't understand and accept, complain, hold grudges, or even stick sticks at them, they think it's okay.

The thinking of the previous generation has been solidified, and it is not easy to change, but the next generation will be fine, and the children of the next generation will not be like this anymore.

"You're right, a strong man breaks his wrist, that's why we do it."

Lu Zhansheng patted the child's head and smiled at him: "The virus we are fighting against is very powerful. This battle against the epidemic is very difficult, so we need some little soldiers. Now I invite you to join us in the battle." ,Do you want to?"

The child nodded immediately: "Yeah!"

"Okay, then I will give you a task now."

Lu Zhansheng took out the medicine he was carrying and put it in his hand. "Now you and Teacher Dabao call all the sick students in the village to go to school, and stay there after taking the medicine with everyone, and don't go home for the time being. Can you do it?"

The child nodded vigorously again: "Yes!"

After Li Dabao took the children away, Lu Zhansheng looked at Aunt Liu's husband who was holding a shovel, heaved a sigh of relief, and then gave Zheng Yan and Song Jian a look.

After the two knew each other, they went straight over, unloaded the shovel from Aunt Liu's husband's hand, and pinned him down.

Aunt Liu stumbled out of the house. She didn't come to stop her, but she cried terribly, almost howling.

Lu Zhansheng ignored their crying and anger, and went to the chicken coop with Zhao Jun to catch the chickens and ducks inside, and went straight back to the threshing ground.

After watching with their own eyes that it was almost burned, they immediately moved on to the next one.

The situation in the next family was similar, even more serious than Aunt Liu's. The elderly and women went into battle together, but they were not beaten, but the obstruction made their progress extremely difficult.

It didn't make sense, and the boys couldn't do anything to the old people and women. In the end, they had no choice but to cooperate with each other, grabbing one by one, and sending them to the threshing floor piecemeal.

After all, Tong Xiaoxue and the other girls failed to hide in the educated youth spot, and went to school to help Li Dabao take care of the children who were picked up one after another.

Tong Xiaoxue stood on the side of the classroom, looking at the threshing ground and the entrance of the village from a distance, seeing Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan, regardless of the villagers' chasing and tearing, grabbing those chickens and ducks and rushing to threshing without hesitation On the scene, she was so sad that she couldn't stop crying.

Just very powerless.

The poverty in Shimen Village is obvious to all. The villagers are reluctant to part with their own chickens and ducks. The difficulties and feelings are understandable.

But the boys are also risking their own disease to protect everyone.

After the chickens and ducks of four or five families were caught in a row, the spirit of solidarity of the people of Shimen Village had a huge negative effect.

In order to prevent their chickens and ducks from being robbed, the men in the village united and blocked Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan in the yard of a family.

Among the villagers, many were coughing, and some seemed asymptomatic. Lu Zhan was afraid that they would infect each other after gathering together, so he immediately took out his mask.

Wu Changde divided them up and kept them far away from each other.

Everyone was persuaded and put on their masks, but they didn't intend to back down. Some of them shouted at Lu Zhansheng and them:

"You educated youths have done a lot of good things for our village, and we don't want to go against you! But the chickens, ducks and geese at home are for us to feed, and they are our lives. You can't let them all be burned."

Lu Zhansheng said directly: "If you don't burn it, you don't have to wait until you starve, your lives will be over now!"

Someone shouted again: "Our chickens and ducks look very energetic, and they are not sick, why should we catch them?"
