TWWMABMTBH Chapter 91

“Come on, uncle, let’s chat!” Rong Ziyan, taking advantage of the village chief’s inattention, grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the crowd.

“Hey, what are you doing?” The village chief was immediately startled, thinking that this young man looked gentle, but how could he be so strong? Pulling him felt like being dragged by an ox.

But then, he was surrounded by Rong Ziyan’s group.

In Luo Xia’s words, Rong Ziyan was like a thousand-year-old dog demon who had barely donned a human skin before coming out to wreak havoc on the world.

Before he knew it, the village chief had been persuaded to try Rong Ziyan’s micro-business brand’s three major products, including the hair growth serum. He was even inexplicably eating boneless duck feet with Rong Ziyan.

“Wait, what’s going on?” The tense atmosphere suddenly became bizarre.

On one side, the police were still confronting the villagers with real swords and guns, while on the other side, Rong Ziyan and the village chief were chatting with arms around each other as if they were about to have a drink together.

The main point was, what were they eating? It smelled so good, you could smell it from far away.

At this time, the village chief was not as relaxed as they imagined, he was in the thick of it.

Rong Ziyan was too persuasive, in just over ten minutes, he had sold him a bottle of hair growth serum and two pounds of boneless duck feet.

Combined, they were a huge sum of one hundred yuan, equivalent to him selling six young roosters. But the key was that he couldn’t refuse!

After all, he had eaten the duck feet, and he was holding the shampoo. He was also surrounded by the enemy group. If he said he didn’t want it now, wouldn’t he be beaten to death?

Looking at Old Wu’s particularly imposing figure, the village chief’s eyes became even more respectful.

Rong Ziyan seized the opportunity, “Don’t be afraid! He doesn’t have a real gun.”

So they have real guns?! The village chief stared at Rong Ziyan in terror.

[Fear value +1000]

Rong Ziyan patted the village chief’s shoulder and continued, “Uncle, don’t be nervous. We’re really good people.”

[Fear value +1000]

What, what kind of good people carry guns with them! The village chief’s lips trembled, and he couldn’t say another word.

Even though he had dared to confront the police with the villagers before, that was because they knew the police wouldn’t do anything to them.

But Rong Ziyan’s group was different, they were from Beijing, and they were rumored to be reckless!

Sure enough, as soon as the village chief’s attitude softened a little, Rong Ziyan pulled out the “Public Security Regulations” and began to scare him.

“Uncle! You can be considered my sugar daddy now, our business is done, so we are friends. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, blocking the village entrance like this won’t do!”

Mentioning the village, the village chief perked up, “Why not? This is our land!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, we are in a socialist society, the land belongs to the country.”

“But the land deed has our names on it.”

“So what? Aren’t you Chinese? Don’t you belong to the country too?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Right!” Rong Ziyan continued to deceive the village chief, “So you shouldn’t gather a crowd like this! It’s against the law!”

“What?”

“It’s against the law! The laws and regulations are very clear, gathering a crowd to make trouble will land you in jail. And the sentence depends on the severity of the situation. Like you guys blocking the village entrance, if the police from the provincial capital come, they can arrest all of you.”

“There are so many of us, can they arrest all of us?”

“Yes! Gathering a crowd to make trouble and refusing to change your ways, they can arrest you all! They will educate you and then release you.”

“!!!” The village chief’s eyes widened, thinking that Rong Ziyan was talking nonsense.

But Rong Ziyan took out his phone and quickly looked up several cases of recent gatherings to make trouble, and there was even a group that was directly defined as an evil cult and sentenced to heavy prison time.

The village chief was a simple farmer, born and raised in the village. When he saw these things, he was also shocked.

And when Rong Ziyan said these things, he spoke loudly, and the villagers behind him all heard it clearly. They couldn’t help but feel fear.

Ordinary people fear officials. Unless they are truly pushed to the extreme, no one wants to be the one to sacrifice themselves.

Thus, a mighty confrontation was resolved by Rong Ziyan with one successful micro-business transaction.

The few policemen in the town watched Rong Ziyan and the village chief walking into the village with their arms around each other, feeling like they were in a dream.

As for the rest of the villagers, they didn’t dare to raise their hoes at them anymore. They all followed obediently behind.

As for the newcomers in Rong Ziyan’s group, they also looked at Rong Ziyan with admiration.

They thought to themselves, their team leader was really reliable! He could quickly sort out such a difficult ideological problem.

However, Luo Xia couldn’t help but sigh that they were too young. But it didn’t matter, after a few days, they would be able to understand what kind of person, no, what kind of dog Rong Ziyan really was!

Perhaps because of the bias they had, the situation in the village was much more serious than what Rong Ziyan’s group had been told.

All the livestock they could see were very weak, especially the sick chickens. Many of them were struggling to stand.

“This is…” Luo Xia frowned, subconsciously taking a step back.

Rong Ziyan quickly put on medical gloves, went directly into the chicken coop, and grabbed a sick chicken.

It was a six-month-old young rooster, in its most energetic stage. If it was a healthy chicken, Rong Ziyan would be flapping its wings and crowing if he lifted it like that.

But not only did this one not crow, its eyes were also glazed over. Rong Ziyan held the chicken upside down and shook it, and the chicken’s mouth actually drooled a brownish liquid that had a strong stench.

Luo Xia’s face immediately darkened, and the researchers behind him also realized what kind of disease it was.

“Newcastle disease.” Rong Ziyan sighed and handed the chicken to Luo Xia for them to examine.

After the examination, Luo Xia and the others came to the same conclusion.

The village chief had been accompanying them the entire time. Seeing Rong Ziyan diagnose the disease with just one look, he became much more enthusiastic, “That, leader, can our chickens be cured?”

This question made Luo Xia’s heart tremble. He subconsciously shook his head at Rong Ziyan, as if to tell him not to say it.

On the way into the village, the village chief had explained to them why they had been blocking people from entering. The truth was, it was all for the sake of these chickens.

This village was not considered a traditional breeding base, but these chickens were the villagers’ greatest guarantee for survival in the coming year.

The village was mainly mountainous with little farmland. Fortunately, the previous village official who was sent to support them had vision and suggested they try forest chicken farming, and he also found them sales channels, which allowed the village to build roads.

But unexpectedly, after not even two years, the chickens suddenly became sick. When the village chief sent out a request for help, he had hoped that someone from the city could come and help cure the chickens. But unexpectedly, the reply clearly stated that contagious diseases should be burned on the spot.

“How could we bear to do that! The free-range chickens are also raised by our own hands! There isn’t that much food in the mountains.”

“If they are burned, all our hard work for the year will be gone. And if the chickens are gone, what will we eat next year?”

The village chief’s words resonated deeply with Rong Ziyan and the other researchers. Luo Xia had hinted at Rong Ziyan earlier, hoping that he could delay telling everyone the results.

But even so, Rong Ziyan still told the truth.

“It’s Newcastle disease, also known as chicken plague.”

“Then how do we treat it?”

“There is no good way, they can only be burned on the spot.” Rong Ziyan’s face was unusually devoid of a smile. The village chief and the surrounding villagers were on the verge of collapse.

“So many chickens, burn them all?”

“Yes, all the sick ones must be burned.”

“Not one left?”

“Yes, not one left.”

“…” As if they were in a daze, the village chief didn’t react for a moment, but someone next to him had already started crying.

“No! No! These are our family’s lives! If you want to burn them, burn me too!”

“Yes, it can definitely be cured, you are just a quack, you’re talking nonsense!”

The tragic atmosphere finally reached its peak. The villagers who were extremely disappointed needed an outlet for their emotions, and finally, they pushed past the village chief and reached out for Rong Ziyan.

“Chase them out!”

“Chase them out!”

“Chase the quack out!”

They were still afraid of the crime of gathering a crowd to make trouble that Rong Ziyan had mentioned earlier, so they didn’t actually dare to use their tools, but used their hands to drive Rong Ziyan’s group out of the village.

Standing on the small road, watching the village entrance being blocked again, Luo Xia almost laughed out of anger at these unreasonable people.

But then he thought, what could they do? Their survival depended on these sick animals, and next year’s food supply was gone. These people were terrified of poverty, and when they finally saw a glimmer of hope, it was taken back. If it were him, he would probably have collapsed too.

“Ah, why did it have to be Newcastle disease!” Someone couldn’t help but sigh, and it felt like the sigh resonated in everyone’s hearts.

After a while, Rong Ziyan finally spoke, “So this is why I wanted to start this project.”

“Newcastle disease, duck tuberculosis, there are too many diseases like these that are not recommended for treatment or cannot be treated. For veterinarians, it’s just an ordinary case. Although the country can provide seedling subsidies, in the end, their hard work and food are the real losses.”

“Most important is the time. Don’t think that the growth period of poultry is short, just these short few months are enough to bankrupt a family.”

“Yes!” Luo Xia had been to other epidemic villages with Rong Ziyan before, so he could empathize even more.

But now, their empathy was not important, what was important was how to persuade the villagers to immediately dispose of the sick chickens.

Otherwise, over time, they would no longer be able to continue raising chickens in the village.

Because Newcastle disease was different from others. This virus was afraid of high temperatures, but it could survive for a very long time in low temperatures. Some frozen chickens still had the virus even after being frozen for two years.

What was more troublesome was that the Newcastle disease virus could attach to other poultry, without causing disease, but still survive.

So if they couldn’t quickly handle the situation and disinfect it, the virus would survive for a long time, and the village might have another outbreak in the future, causing huge losses.

Luo Xia and the others were very worried. But Rong Ziyan was quite calm.

Luo Xia couldn’t help but ask him, “Rong! Aren’t you worried?”

Rong Ziyan looked at him, “It’s okay, I have a way.”

Luo Xia subconsciously felt that Rong Ziyan’s way might not be a good way.

Sure enough, five minutes later, they saw Rong Ziyan telling Old Wu to take a huge loudspeaker and an audio system that was usually used for the aunties’ square dancing from his suitcase.

Then, using the loudspeaker’s recording function, he recorded the popular science of Newcastle disease.

“Wait, Rong! Calm down!” Luo Xia thought of a possibility and subconsciously wanted to stop Rong Ziyan.

But Rong Ziyan was too fast, Luo Xia couldn’t stop him.

Thus, three seconds later, the villagers all suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by the most familiar background music for those born in the 60s.

“Ta di da, ta di da, ta di da – da – di – ; Children, the little loudspeaker program has started broadcasting!”

“Today, I want to tell everyone a scary story, the story of Newcastle disease…”

The author has something to say: Villagers: We don’t want to listen, please shut up.
