Zhao Kuan was an ordinary policeman and a public servant that everyone envied. Of course, in Xiangxi Prefecture and Chenzhou, ordinary government servants basically belonged to Han people, and the city was also exclusive to Han people.

However, last year, after the Xiangxi Prefecture was established, the prefect carried out a large-scale reform of the barbarians. In just half a year, nearly a thousand households and dozens of tribes came down the mountain, reclaimed wasteland, and became registered households. It only lasted five years.

The tax holiday is much better than that of the Han people.

But these days, the prefectures and counties are not in peace. In order to carry out the downhill movement as quickly as possible, they mobilized their yamen and their helpers to go up the mountain together to help the barbarians treat their potbelly diseases.

Since he grew up in the city, he had never really seen potbelly disease. He just heard that it was scary and made him feel a little uneasy.

With a dozen white servants, the group arrived at the destination of their trip - White Snake Village.

After climbing hard and continuously for nearly half an hour, the group finally reached the halfway point of the mountain and came to a deep cave. They saw a few men with big bellies sitting on stone benches, eating food picked from the mountain.

Guozi, drinking spring water from the mountains, chatting and laughing.

A dozen women, also with big bellies, were kneeling by a spring with calloused hands, struggling to wash the thin clothes, their faces sallow and sad.

Not far away, five or six naked little guys, who couldn't tell the difference between men and women, black and white, like Kunlun slaves, were happily playing in the spring, making silly noises from time to time, holding out their big belly, and holding

Holding the newly caught fish, he asked his mother who was washing her for credit.

The woman paused for a moment from time to time, stroking the child's horns with her rough palms. Her face showed a rare hint of joy from the heart, but her eyes were full of pity and bitterness.

"Sir, these are the poor people here!" Looking at this situation, the leader sighed, his heart full of bitterness. None of the patients here are his relatives, nephews, and even one of his

grandson.

Hearing this, Li Jia couldn't help but take a closer look. Although the group of men in front of him were still strong, they had big bellies, haggard faces, and fear and desire for life in their eyes.

This kind of big belly is swollen from the breasts down. It is not round. It is like the belly is filled with water and sinks. It is more exaggerated than a nine-month pregnant woman.

"This, this..." Even though he had heard about potbelly disease many times, this was the first time Zhao Kuan, who had lived in Yongzhou City since he was a child, saw it. The man was now like a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant.

Such humiliation was more horrifying than being beheaded by Sha. Feeling the same, his face turned pale and his whole body shuddered.

Not only him, but many of the white servants behind him also looked frightened. Potbelly disease was a prestigious disease, and it was a drag on his reputation. He had read a lot of ink, and he was as scared as a tiger.

"My lord, be careful, don't come too close -" Du Lao reminded solemnly.

"Of course I understand, no need to say more!" Zhao Kuan took a breath of air, waved his hand, looked at the belly of those pregnant women, swallowed, and slowly approached these poor people.

Schistosomiasis enters the human body and reproduces continuously. Then the person's belly bulges out like a balloon, excreted several times a day, and contains thick, blood, etc., causing coughing, skinny bones, and an extremely big belly.

The arrival of the crowd naturally woke up the self-pitying patients. Everyone looked at each other cautiously and spoke softly, as if they would be easily crushed.

"You're all old," after a while, everyone quickly reacted and bowed respectfully according to the rules, with excitement still on their faces.

"This gentleman has found a herbal medicine. It is somewhat effective for your potbelly disease. Please follow Xiao Langjun's instructions later!"

Everyone has a stern face, and decades of prestige makes people have to obey. Even though this medicine is just one-sided words from Li Jia, everyone has to listen.

The patients agreed in unison, and then stared at the young man with bright eyes, full of desire for health.

At some point, the continuous light rain suddenly stopped, and the dark clouds gradually disappeared. On the mountainside, beams of sunshine shone on the faces of these poor people. Their thin and yellow faces were full of touching emotions.

look.

"You, come out -" Zhao Kuan suppressed the fear in his heart and randomly selected a thin man with a big belly as a test subject. He had a round belly and shriveled cheeks, and he looked like he was in an advanced stage.

Then, he ordered a child and a less serious woman. The three of them appeared in front of Li Jia tremblingly, not knowing what to do.

"Eat it, you two have ten pills each, little one, you take five pills!"

Looking at the three people, Zhao Kuan nodded slightly, and the white servants behind him immediately took out a bag of tiny kernels, as big as sesame seeds, from their arms.

These are pills distributed by prefectures and counties before the arrival of the disease. They are made from gallbladder javanica. The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce provides them to the government for free, just to treat potbelly disease.

The prefect took advantage of this to speed up the recruitment of barbarians and achieve political achievements. I heard that many people were successful and received rewards for this.

It was the first time for Zhao Kuan to find a tribe that he was familiar with. The first person to react was a little guy with a big belly. He held his belly and quickly ran to a hole dug by someone and took off his pants.

It was just a big blast, and the smell was so high.

Zhao Kuan looked happy and walked away quickly. The big man followed without hesitation. The others took a step slower and followed him.

The villagers frowned, not knowing that this police officer's taste was so unique. They covered their noses, hesitated for a moment, and followed closely under the leadership of the old Muramasa.

"Sure enough, it's just as I expected!" Zhao Kuan glanced at it without any concern, then turned around, covered his nose, and walked away quickly, laughing.

A big white servant was full of curiosity and cast his gaze under the little kid's butt. In an instant, he almost vomited out his overnight meal. It was so disgusting. This was the first time he felt so disgusting. Then,

Gradually, I patted my chest to relieve the shock afterward.

"That's it, vomit--" The big man who followed behind muttered, his face turned bitter, he could no longer suppress the churning of his stomach, and started vomiting.

Seeing this, the villagers looked up one after another. As a result, they were all frightened and their faces were pale and their steps were unsteady.

The little guy was very surprised that there was nothing to see while squatting in the Lamita field, and he came to check it out as a group. His little head was full of doubts.

I casually wiped my butt with the wild vegetable leaves on the ground, pulled up my pants, and felt that my belly had become much smaller. I was rejoicing, but when I looked back, I saw that the little guy's face instantly turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

I saw an exaggerated rice field standing above the shallow pothole, not to mention its yellow turbid water and the slender insects like earthworms climbing in the middle of the rice field.

The ground is crawling, and their dense numbers are frightening.

"This, this -" Du's gray beard jumped up and down, his face full of disbelief.

"That's right, the reason why everyone's stomachs are bloated is not because of the accumulation of water in their stomachs, but because of the worms in their stomachs!" Facing the surprised expressions of everyone, Zhao Kuan, dressed in official uniform, said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone stayed away from the pot-bellied man for fear of being infected by bugs.

"Puff——" "Puff——" Then, the man and the woman also had stomach upsets. Listening to the huge belly, they struggled to deal with it. The result was as expected. The stomach was quite deflated, but it was pulled out.

Yes, most of them are bugs, tiny squirming bugs.
