324 Our Family Won’t Be Able to Survive!
“After the village was sealed off, the villagers were quite angry about it,” Rong Zhan explained when he saw Gu Qingxue’s confusion.
“I have to go and check on the situation,” Gu Qingxue said as she jumped off the carriage.
However, Gu Qingxue was too anxious. When she got off the carriage, she accidentally stepped on an irregular rock on the ground. Her foot twisted immediately, and she fell straight forward.
Just when Gu Qingxue thought her head was going to touch the ground intimately, an arm suddenly came over to block in front of her, preventing the tragedy from happening.
Rong Zhan’s arm wrapped around Gu Qingxue’s weak waist, and he easily held her up.
Gu Qingxue also reached out to grab Rong Zhan’s arm to keep her balance. She suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and raised her head to apologize, “Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Let’s go there quickly.”
Lowering her head, she could even clearly smell the fragrance in Gu Qingxue’s hair. Rong Zhan covered the hidden meaning in his eyes and let go of her waist gently.
Gu Qingxue only had eyes for those villagers at the moment. She quickened her pace and stepped forward quickly, leaving Rong Zhan far behind.
Rong Zhan’s gaze moved, and he quickly caught up with Gu Qingxue who had left first.
The entrance of Tie Family Village was surrounded by iron wires. At this moment, Fu Cheng and his bailiffs were all wearing veils, looking at the aggressive villagers of tie family village with a troubled expression.
“Please understand us. We are also thinking of your safety. When Doctor Gu comes and makes sure that you are not infected by the plague, he will let you go,” Fu Cheng’s voice was already hoarse, he was still trying his best to explain to the villagers.
Ever since they came here yesterday, the villagers had been very emotional. The villagers did not cooperate with them at all. If the village chief of Tie Family Village had not been stopping them, the villagers would have raised their kitchen knives and risked their lives.
Even so, the villagers still spoke harshly and pointed at Fu Cheng through the air.
One of the villagers, who was in her early forties, had a strong back and a thick waist. She pinched her waist and spat, “F*ck your bullsh*t. Do you think I don’t know if I’m sick or not?”
At this moment, an old man walked over while trembling and quickly stopped him, “Don’t be rude! This is the county master!”
The Tie Family Village villagers who had been locked up for a day all heard about the plague. They were all driven into a corner and did not care whether the person in front of them was the county master or someone else.
“What’s wrong with the county magistrate? Even the county master can’t trap us here? We’re not sick at all!” At this time, a young man also stood out and questioned aggressively, “County master, we’re just a group of commoners. We don’t want to go against big figures like you. However, you’re going too far. You’re trapping us and not letting us in and out of the village. This is taking away my life! “I’m a hunter. I’m not going up the mountain to hunt. Are you trying to starve me to death?”
The moment Hunter Zhang opened his mouth, the rest of the villagers nodded their heads in agreement and began to discuss amongst themselves.
“Me too. My youngest son is still in school in town. I have to deliver food to him!”
“The embroidery that I’m working on is due tomorrow. If you don’t let me out, won’t it be a hindrance to my work?”
“That’s right, that’s right. I have to go to town to buy rice and noodles. Otherwise, my family won’t be able to survive!”
