Prince Heng spread his hands: "What is impossible? Nothing in this world is impossible, not to mention that I have never thought of this method."
Wei Ningxiao was speechless: "So you thought so too?"
"There is really no other way, but I have been hesitating. Today, someone can make this decision for me. I actually feel relieved. Do you think there is no difference between me and those who kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Heng
Wang gave a short wry smile.
They have thought of a solution to the current predicament, but it is not a good solution. Nowadays, those who are already sick have no way to get better. Instead of letting them stay here waiting to die, it is better to let them do what they can.
contribution.
"But should we discuss this matter with them first..." Wei Ningxiao felt that this was a bit cruel.
"I don't know what to do, so since Zhang Xianzhong is willing to take the initiative to take over this job, let him figure it out on his own." Prince Heng shook his head, seeming to feel overwhelmed by the mention of this issue.
Zhang Xianzhong himself, of course, has gone through a series of inner ideological struggles. He was originally just a farmer and had seen too many farmers' hard lives. He had also been sick, and he knew the feeling of being abandoned after getting sick, but
Now he wants to be the one who abandons others, and he can't bear it.
He used to dislike the bad behavior of rich people who wanted to get rich, so he felt comfortable killing them. But those who did good deeds every day also got sick, and some even got infected because they voluntarily took care of those who were sick.
Got infected by the plague. If I treat them all equally, how can I live up to the promise I made?
"Father, since ancient times, loyalty has been a dilemma. People have to make choices. You don't have to be too sad." Li Dingguo walked over worriedly. He could also see that his adoptive father's state had been not quite right since just now.
"It's okay. You can go find your other brothers first. My father has his own opinion on this matter."
Li Dingguo knew from the look on his face that he had made up his mind, and it was not good for him to be nagging, so he stepped back.
After Zhang Xianzhong stood alone for a while, he called someone to go to the place where the plague-infected people were isolated.
The place is damp, dark and does not see the sun. It is just a small temporary shed. As the situation has become more and more serious, almost no one dares to come here now. Therefore, most of the people scattered here are those who do not know.
Relatives who are willing to give up.
When they saw Zhang Xianzhong, they rushed towards him as if they had seen the savior. The guards around him quickly stopped them to avoid spreading the plague to Zhang Xianzhong.
"Sir, you must save us, save us." Although they couldn't get to the front at all, those people still stretched their arms to try to reach the corners of his clothes.
Zhang Xianzhong slowly looked around. Some time ago, there were people here constantly bringing water and food. However, there have been fewer and fewer people here in the past few days. If this continues, they may not be able to hold on for a few more days.
"I have thought of a solution. Take these family members out first. I have something to tell them." Zhang Xianzhong ordered the guards around him.
"Sir, is there anything you can do? Why can't you say it in front of us?" A woman with disheveled hair looked at Zhang Xianzhong suspiciously, as if she didn't believe what he said.
"You ordinary people like you can actually comment on what the adults say. If you are asked to leave, just leave." A guard pushed her impatiently.
Zhang Xianzhong glared at the guard, then walked over and helped the woman up: "I do have a solution, but I have to get their consent whether I want to make this choice. After all, they are the ones who got the plague.
It's not you, there are some things you can't make choices for him."
When he said this, the woman didn't seem to know what to do. She followed the others and walked out for a few steps, then suddenly turned back and looked at Zhang Xianzhong with wide eyes: "Sir, you have a way to save him.
Right? It’ll be okay, right?”
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the hopeful light in her eyes and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, everything will be fine." These words were not comforting the woman, but more like comforting himself.
After all the family members left, he gathered all the plague patients together, and then looked at them: "I have to tell the truth, we don't have a suitable doctor now, and we can't find any medicine that can save you.
If you drag it on like this, you will just have to wait to die."
When he said this, the people who were already in great pain suddenly showed despair as if they were dead. Someone loudly questioned: "Didn't you just say that there is a solution? What solution is it? Could it be that you just did it?"
Are you lying to us?"
"What I'm talking about is a solution, not a way to cure you. Those people who left just now are your closest people. Even if they are not willing to give up on you at this point, you are really willing to watch them one day.
Are you infected with the plague and dying in pain like you?" Zhang Xianzhong glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes.
The people he glanced at all lowered their heads. Yes, since there is no cure for them, why bother their relatives? They are taking care of themselves now, but if they are really infected with the disease,
Who will take care of them?
A young man suddenly said: "Then what is the solution you mentioned?" After hearing his words, the others also turned their attention to Zhang Xianzhong, with the same confusion.
Now that we have reached this point, we have to say: "You should also know that there is a Manchu army stationed fifty miles away from us. According to our understanding, they have never been here, so they are not familiar with the plague.
The ability to resist is even worse, so they dare not approach Hanzhong and want to wait for us to turn into a dead city."
"So you want us to die?" A woman screamed: "How come you are so vicious? What is the difference between you and those murderous thieves outside?"
Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "There are differences between me and them. I don't intend to force you to do anything. Of course you can choose to stay. But you must know the situation here. If you stay here, the current water situation
You can't even last a few days with food and clothing. And if anyone is willing to cooperate with us, at least I will treat your relatives well and let them have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. You can choose what to do specifically."
