Without waiting for Hong Shan to speak, Patriarch Jing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it, as if he was holding onto his lifeline. He hurriedly took two steps forward, excitedly looked at Yao Shuang, and confirmed: "Little brother, you really can help us?"
"My Big Brother Dongfang has a way of saying things and never dares to spout nonsense. If he said he could, then he would definitely be able to control the situation! Grandpa Jing, don't worry. As long as my Big Brother Dongfang is here, anything that's not plague or not, can be cured! "
Shang Ziyu followed from behind Yao Shuang. Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, he was extremely confident, and as a result, he helped Yao Shuang speak up for him.
Yao Shuang and Shang Zifeng were startled, they looked at each other, and the moment they saw Yao Shuang, Shang Zifeng understood, that even Brother Dong Fang himself did not have much confidence in controlling the plague!
Originally, Brother Dongfang had only said that he would give it a try, and didn't explicitly say that he would be able to eradicate the plague. After all, treating a plague was especially troublesome, and he might even lose his life.
However, after hearing what Third Brother said, he immediately came to a conclusion. What if Brother Dongfang was unable to cure him then … Thinking about that, Shang Zifeng immediately threw a blade at him, causing him to tremble in fear, "Second brother, why are you staring at me like that, what did I say wrongly?"
Did he say something wrong?
Haven't you said enough mistakes!
You dare to say anything in order to show off, even taking out your Big Brother Dongfang to sell, you sure are capable!
Just as Shang Zifeng was about to berate his third brother, he saw Patriarch Jing turning towards Yao Shuang in gratitude: "Little brother, can you really control this disease? As long as you can find a way to cure the plague and save us, the Jingjia Village, from danger. After that, no matter what request I make, I will agree to it. "
Yao Shuang comforted her: "It is my duty to practice medicine to accumulate kindness and respect, to save the dying and help the wounded. I do not need anything in return. Patriarch Jing, from the looks of it, this plague has probably lasted more than half a month? "
"Little brother's eyes are like torches, it has indeed been half a month."
Seeing Yao Shuang's frown after hearing what she said, Patriarch Jing's heart tensed up, and subconsciously asked: "Little brother, do you have any troubles?"
"Don't worry about Patriarch Jing. No matter if it's difficult or not, I will do my best."
Finally, Shang Ziyu felt that something was amiss. He had helped the Big Brother Dongfang brag and neglected the fact that they were going to participate in the assessment today.
For things like curing a plague, it would take at least half a month and at most half a year. If Big Brother Dongfang really wanted to stay and help them heal it, wouldn't he have to miss out on the Yuxu Sect's disciple examination … The more Shang Ziyu thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He raised his eyes to look at his second brother and saw that he was staring straight at Big Brother Dongfang.
Shang Ziyu had a deep understanding of second brother, with just second brother's relationship with Big Brother Dongfang, if Big Brother Dongfang decided to stay and treat them, then second brother would definitely not abandon Big Brother Dongfang and participate in the examination on his own.
Thinking about that, Shang Ziyu immediately ran over to Yao Shuang's side and said softly: "Big Brother Dongfang, it's almost noon. If we delay here, wouldn't we automatically give up the chance to enter the Yuxu Sect?"
Yao Shuang's heart trembled when she heard this. After pondering for a moment, she turned to look at Shang Zifeng, "Brother Shang, I'm fine here, you bring …"
Without waiting for Yao Shuang to finish, Shang Zifeng knew what Yao Shuang was going to say, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Dongfang, you don't have to say anything. Moreover, the test is not even worth mentioning in front of a person's life. If it really can cure the plague in Jingjia Village, it would be worth it even if you give up the test. "
After saying that, he looked at Shang Ziyu and scolded: "Third brother, do you think saving a person's life is more important, or is the assessment more important?"
Shang Ziyu weakly looked at the Jingjia Village's group of men, women, old and young, all dressed in mourning. His eyes immediately reddened, and he gritted his teeth as he determinedly said: "Of course the treatment is more important, if we do not control the plague in time, more people will die because of it."
"In that case, I intend to stay behind and help Brother Dongfang control the plague. "What about you?"
Shang Ziyu pouted. Even Second Brother said that he wanted to stay, what other choice did he have?
He thumped his chest and said seriously, "Look at what second brother has said, I want to stay as well. One more person is enough strength!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued while looking at Yao Shuang, "Big Brother Dongfang, so many people are sick, how could these old and young people possibly be able to get things done? Even though I don't know much about medical skills, I can help you gather medicinal herbs and make soup for you. The most important thing is that I'm fast, so I can run errands faster than anyone else.
Yao Shuang looked at the two brothers and laughed, but did not say anything else. She then turned to Patriarch Jing and said: "Patriarch Jing, time is of the essence, let us bury these coffins first, when we return, I would like to trouble Patriarch Jing to guide me to visit these coffins for everyone."
"Why is it so troublesome!"
Just then, Hong Shan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, the Immortal Sword once again pointed at the half-lying He Ming, and said coldly: "Can you call for Master Master to bury these coffins?"
Although Hong Shan's words contained a pleading intention, in reality, it was a blatant threat. She was so shocked that she immediately swallowed her saliva, not daring to refute, and quickly nodded, "Alright, alright!"
Hong Shan nodded her head in satisfaction, then turned to Yao Shuang and said: "I will stay behind to help you guys, if you have any orders, feel free to tell me, no matter if it's to pick herbs, catch herbs or prepare ingredients, I can handle it."
Patriarch Jing thanked the four of them when he heard this, "This old one has no way of repayment for the help the four young warriors have given me. Here, this old one will first thank all of you for the suffering villagers! "
After he finished speaking, Patriarch Jing and the rest of the Jingjia Village all kneeled down to the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Yao Shuang and the others.
Seeing that, Yao Shuang immediately bowed and helped Patriarch Jing up: "Patriarch Jing, quickly get up. We do not dare to accept this kind of big gift."
"Everyone, please accept this gift."
The old patriarch looked at the empty house behind him and said in a sad voice, "There are more than 500 people in the entire village. Besides the 50 dead people and the plague infested people, the only people left in the village are these 100 plus people. Even though most of these people are elderly, weak, women, and children, and only a few of them have the ability to move after half a month of suffering, but even so, we will still be at your service all day. As long as you have the orders, little brother, we will definitely not refuse to do anything. "" No, no.
"Patriarch Jing means that at least three hundred people need to be treated?"
Yao Shuang asked.
"That's right, those three hundred people are very sick right now. If we don't find a way to cure them, I'm afraid they won't be able to live for much longer."
The Patriarch Jing sighed, his eyes filled with bitterness and sorrow.
Yao Shuang and Shang Zifeng then looked over, and after their eyes intersected, they heard Hong Shan's voice, "Time is of the essence, let's not stand outside anymore, let's go in and take a look!"
Patriarch Jing recovered his wits after being reminded by Hong Shan, and immediately led Yao Shuang and the rest in, while He Ming, who was being threatened by Hong Shan, gathered a few big burly men to carry the coffins out, and went to the burial site according to Patriarch Jing's instructions.
Before leaving, Hong Shan did not forget to turn her head and threaten He Ming: "If you dare to have any flowery thoughts, don't blame me for being merciless! No matter where you go, I promise I will catch you. If you don't believe me, you can try! "
He Ming's leg that had just stepped out, suddenly twitched when he heard Hong Shan's words. He staggered and did not fall down, and as a result, shakily replied, "I don't dare!"
Then, without looking back, he was limped away.
