"Some villages have already contracted the plague, and during this time, let no one go out carelessly, lest they bring calamity upon our own village..."
Before Tie Niu could finish, the people below exploded into an uproar.
"How could it be the plague? There hasn't been any news of natural disasters anywhere."
"Right, the weather has been good these past few years. Village head, haven't you scared yourself in a dream?"
As soon as this was said, many couldn't help but burst into laughter.
If there truly had been a plague, surely it would have caused a huge commotion by now. How could it be that no one knew about it until now?
Tie Niu gestured for everyone to quiet down and said solemnly, "Do I look like someone who would joke about such matters? There are already many dead in other villages, and I'll immediately arrange to lock down our village. Those who don't believe can go out and see for themselves, but once you leave, don't come back, lest you risk harming others."
