Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Emergency Meeting Convened

Mayor Ji Xiang thought for a moment, "There is a cave in the mountain behind our village, a huge Karst Cave. The terrain there is broad. If there were ever a flood, landslide, or any calamity, the entire village would hide there." It suddenly dawned on him that it was truly an isolated place.

At this time, how could Mayor Ji Xiang not understand? This is a serious matter, and the illness is contagious. Just look at the mask Xiaoyu forcibly put on him before he entered.

Heavens, their skies are about to fall here.

A few children were already at a loss for what to do.

In an instant! The room was in chaos.

Bai Xiao and Doctor Zhang couldn’t just sit by, even Bai Xiao’s special ability could only contain it, not completely eradicate it, probably because it was too contagious.

It’s an unknown virus, and having one more person here means one more risk of infection. As doctors, they have to lead by example.

"Village chief, from now on, the entire village must go into lockdown. We will start transferring the patients to the cave. Please convene an emergency meeting of the Party organization members, organize and mobilize the members at this time to take up the task of patrolling and securing the lockdown. Send someone to report the situation to the higher-ups. Meanwhile, everyone in the village should stay in their homes, and I, Doctor Zhang, and Xiaoyu will help disinfect the area, keeping it as controlled as possible.

Mayor Ji Xiang, no one can leave the village, or they will bring disaster to others."

Doctor Zhang and Bai Xiao had already agreed on this; they hadn’t done tests yet but realized the situation was very dangerous.

Mayor Ji Xiang was already in a mess, nodding his head. noveldrama

As a village chief, he knew very well how many people would die if there was an outbreak. Over a hundred years ago, there was a plague here, reportedly killing hundreds of people, and some villages were completely wiped out. The stories from his father and grandfather about that time were summed up in one word: tragic.

Mayor Ji Xiang immediately returned home. The village committee, to be honest, had a loudspeaker, left from the last poverty alleviation effort. They didn’t typically use it because they didn’t even have electricity here, so what use was a loudspeaker?

But this loudspeaker was battery-powered, could be held in hand, and Ji Xiang, unable to worry about saving money, immediately shouted through it.

"Village Party members, come to the village committee for a meeting. Village Party members, come to the village committee for a meeting."

Ten minutes later, ten people gathered at the village committee.

The village committee was actually the hall in Mayor Ji Xiang’s house. In fact, there was no formal village committee. The entire village, numbering less than a hundred people, was poor and small, so naturally, the conditions were lacking.

But those ten were all Party members in the village. Five were veterans from the anti-Japanese war era, and the others were the village’s accountant, family planning director, security director, and the old village chief from those days, making it exactly ten people with Mayor Ji Xiang.

"Mayor Ji Xiang, what’s going on?"

The old village chief, although retired, had served for many years and knew Ji Xiang well enough to understand that if it weren’t something major, Ji Xiang wouldn’t use the loudspeaker.

This thing was the village’s most expensive asset, and unless it was absolutely necessary, the village chief wouldn’t dare to use it.

"Old village chief, fellow Party members, I called you here today because something has happened in the village, and we need to work together. Three days ago, people in the village started falling sick with vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever, and Ji Lao Si has already died. More and more people in the village are getting sick." Ji Xiang was heavy-hearted. Such a thing had happened in their village, and he wondered how many people would survive after this disaster.

"Ji Xiang! Isn’t today like any other day when Doctor Xiaoyu from town brought city doctors over? Taking some medicine would solve it. It’s not a big deal; everyone has stomach issues and fevers now and then." Everyone thought Ji Xiang was making a fuss over nothing.

Ji Xiang shook his head, "It’s not like that. Doctors from the city have already examined the patients, and the result is that it’s a contagious disease. That’s why I’m calling this Party meeting instead of a village committee meeting, because it’s a serious matter.

First, patients must be isolated. I spoke with Doctors Bai from the city and Doctor Zhang. The Karst Cave in the mountain will be requisitioned as a temporary quarantine space. Patients from each household must be sent there to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, with designated personnel responsible for supervising them.

Second, Security Director Ji Tiande, you need to go to the town government immediately to report that this illness is contagious and see how the government will handle it. Also, everyone must keep calm; no one can speak of this, and ensure no villagers leave to harm other villages, or we’ll be cursed for generations."

This statement stunned everyone. They realized things might be urgent, but never imagined it would be this severe.

"Village chief, this can’t be! Just vomiting and fever, how could it be something so dangerous?" Security Director Ji Tiande couldn’t believe it himself. His youngest son had been vomiting and had diarrhea for two days.

Adults in the household didn’t think much of it.

How could it be life-threatening?

Mayor Ji Xiang harshly shouted, "Don’t think this is a joke! The doctors have already examined them, and both agreed that this illness is contagious. If you don’t want your family to die, help move people to the cave immediately.

Do what you need to do and don’t leak a word. Do you hear me?

We don’t understand, but the doctors do."

At this time, Doctor Bai and Doctor Zhang, who were sitting in the corner, finally stood up.

They had already found all the masks in the medical kit.

And placed them on the table.

"Dear villagers, this illness is indeed contagious. These masks are for those helping to carry patients to the cave and the families of those who are sick. They must come here for blood tests to prevent any further infection. We’ve brought testing equipment, not expecting it to be used for such a purpose.

Please cooperate with us, and we will work with you to disinfect each household quickly. Please take this matter seriously. This virus is highly contagious. For the sake of your loved ones, everyone must do their part, notify the government, and send a medical team here. With just the three of us, it’s impossible to handle everything."

Their masks were more persuasive than their words.

In their eyes, the mask worn by the doctor was a sacred symbol. For the doctor to hand them these masks showed just how serious the illness was.
