Chapter 347: Chapter 347 A Warning
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You…” Hearing this, Tiedan’s mom was both angry and sad.
She was angry because Tiedan was insensible and dared eat something obviously bad.
She was also sad because, in this day and age, a growing boy’s appetite is larger than an adult’s. They were forced to eat sweet potatoes daily, and were short of oil and salt. How could such a growing boy survive?
Qian Shisan immediately stepped forward to soothe them. “Madam, don’t be too angry with your child. He will definitely not dare to do so in the future.”
After he finished, he patted Tiedan on the head and warned him, “Remember, don’t eat anything that dies in the future, or it will be too late if something terrible happens.”
“Okay.” Tiedan lowered his head and sat down on a stool.
At that moment, Jiaxing came out with two sets of medicines. He glanced at the people in the courtyard, thanked Tian Jiawang, and brought his wife and son home.
Gu Chengrui saw that the crowd was about to disperse and reminded them, “Everyone, go back and tell your children that the dead animals on the mountain must not be eaten.
“The least that will happen is getting a stomach ache like Tiedan.
“If it’s serious, it might cause an epidemic. 1 hope everyone will take this as a warning.”
“Is it that serious?” Widow Hua trembled when she heard that.
The others also perked up their ears to listen to his answer. After all, this matter was closely related to them.
“Yes, we are lucky; we just got struck by a snowstorm. Dirty water and bloated animal corpses after a flood are the main sources of an epidemic.
“Everyone knows that our area, or basically the entire country, is short of medicine. So, we must be careful.” Gu Chengrui solemnly warned the masses.
“Chengrui is right. We have a severe shortage of medicine here, so everyone should be more careful.
“Also, you must tell your family not to eat dead animals.” The village chief echoed as he walked in.
After everyone heard this, they promised and went back to work.
Seeing this, Tieniu also wanted to run off, but the village chief grabbed his collar and said, “You brat, didn’t I tell you to stay home and study? Why did you go up the mountains?”
“Grandpa, I’m just dizzy from all the studying, so 1 want to go up the mountains. 1’11 go home now.” After Tieniu finished speaking, he broke free from the elder’s grip and quickly ran home.
“He needs a beating.” The village chief scolded with a smile.
“Grandpa Qian, please take a seat.” Gu Chengrui said.
“It’s fine; I’m just here to understand the situation. But is it that dangerous to eat those dead animals? ”
“Yes, it’s dangerous and definitely can’t be eaten.
“So I suggest that we wait until we’re almost done planting in the field, organize the villagers to look for dead animals in the outer area of the mountain, and burn them once we gather them all.”
“I’ll listen to you.” The village chief nodded and then looked at Zhou Ying. “Do you still have any cattle or sheep for sale in your manor?”
“Yes, are you here to buy meat?”
“Not just me. You can get someone to butcher a cow and bring the meat here. The villagers are all hungry now. If they have some meat, they won’t go crazy from hunger.”
“Alright, 1’11 ask around and see how much I need to bring over.” Zhou Ying nodded.
The village head was satisfied with that. On the way back, he also helped Zhou Ying promote so that those who wanted to buy meat could book at her house.
As expected, people came to visit after a short while.
However, by the time everyone finished ordering what they wanted, there was still not enough information on how many were needed precisely. Thus, it was enough just to slaughter a cow and keep the extras, if there were any.
At night, Gu Chengrui entered the interspace and did a test on Tiedan’s vomit. After confirming that it was only rotten meat and did not carry any deadly viruses, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The next morning, Gu Chengrui went to the manor and returned with a butchered cow..
