Chapter 151: The smell of corpses

Others might not be able to see it, but he definitely didn’t believe it if those two people, eight hundred thoughtful people, came together and said they didn’t notice anything at all.

He didn’t see that girl, but whenever he encountered something about a certain force or local official, she would rush over to ask.

Su Yin is such a thief.

Nan Wu felt a little pity, “That’s a pity.”

He still admired that girl Su Yin. She was not squeamish, independent, bold and careful, and she was a rare talent.

“Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can’t force them to do anything,” Nan Jingzhi didn’t care, and leisurely shook the folding fan in his hand.

On the bumpy official road, a group of refugees moved forward quickly, and the refugees following them gradually distanced themselves.

The team passed one group after another of refugees. The refugees who were passed looked at their carriages with envy in their eyes.

After the envy, they could only walk like a machine.

According to Wan Sanye, immediately ahead is Baiji County at the junction of Nanshan County and Jinghe County.

Baiji County is named after the production of Baiji medicinal materials.

The Baiji here is the best place in the entire Great Yong Dynasty.

Because of Bletilla striata, Baiji County is very rich.

The closer he got to Baiji County, Su Yin could clearly feel the difference.

The most obvious thing was that there were no corpses on both sides of the official road, which was completely different from the hinterland of Nanshan County.

After having a cup of tea, a seven-story Baiji Tower appeared in front of them, which meant that they were about to enter Baiji County.

Su Yin looked at the stone tablet of Bletilla striata standing on the side of the official road ahead.

Finally arrived at Baiji County, passed Nanshan County, and then entered Jinghe County.

The water they carry is also in danger. Jinghe County is more drought-stricken than Nanping County and Nanshan County.

Finding water sources should be much easier than these two counties.

When he was five hundred meters away from the Baiji Pagoda, Su Yin frowned slightly and twitched his nose a few times.

Is it her imagination?

Soon the smell swept over me again.

This time she could smell it clearly, and it was not her imagination.

Su Yin raised her hand, and the entire team started from her, slowly stopped, and extended to the rear.

They had been walking for two and a half hours, and as usual, it was probably time to rest.

Su Baozhu felt strange when she saw that she didn’t move and didn’t say anything about taking a rest.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Baozhu looked around and found nothing wrong.

Mother Su opened the car curtain, and Yun Niang stuck her head out and looked ahead.

Su Yin noticed it and ordered, “Yun Niang, don’t come out.”

Hearing what she said, Yun Niang retracted into the carriage obediently.

Wan Sanye jumped down from the mule cart behind and handed the reins to Yang Rong.

As soon as he got closer, he saw Su Yin taking off the mask on her face and smelling the air carefully.

Mr. Wan Sanye noticed it, took off his mask and started to smell it.

I didn’t smell anything at first, but suddenly a breeze blew by, and an unpleasant stench hit his face.

Stink!

“Did you smell it?” Su Yin looked at Mr. Wan San.

Master Wan San nodded.

Su Yin looked around and saw that there were very few corpses on both sides of the official road.

No, it should be said that since entering Baiji County, she had not seen a single corpse.

And this stench is obviously the smell of a decomposing corpse.

Mr. Wan Sanye looked to the rear and told Yang Rong, “Go and call Doctor Li.”

Yang Rong got off the mule cart and went to the back of the team to invite people.

Yang Hu (Yang Butcher) and others saw him and asked casually, “Are you taking a rest?”

Yang Rong waved his hand, “No, something is wrong up front. Fatty asked me to ask Dr. Li to come over.”

As soon as he heard that something was wrong up front, Yang Hu shuddered in his heart and immediately ordered to go down, with everyone on alert.

Nan Jingzhi also heard the news and rode his horse across the long queue to the front. Just as he was about to ask, he smelled the vague odor.

Doctor Li nodded affirmatively, “There is a strong chance that the stench of human body decay will come from there.”

Yang Dashan also followed, and after he finished speaking, he frowned and said, “There are no corpses on both sides, where does this stench come from?”

“Yes, where does this smell come from?”

If the stench could be smelled so far away, there must be more than one or two corpses.

All these signs showed that Su Yin had to move forward with caution.

Nan Wu said, “Judging from today’s wind direction, this smell should be coming from Baiji County.”

Everyone looked ahead in the direction of Baiji County.

They can smell the stench of corpses before they reach Baiji County. This is not a good sign.

They have to go through Baiji County, but the situation there is unknown, and now they have to prepare for the worst.

“The situation ahead is unclear, but we have to pay attention to this smell.”

Doctor Li nodded, “A large number of corpses are not buried and treated, and diseases can easily breed. We have to prevent it.”

“Every household has mugwort. My opinion is that before entering Baiji County, everyone in every household must wear a mask.”

The word mask came from Su Yin, and because of its relevance, everyone gradually called it a mask.

Su Yin nodded and added, “Doctor Li, can we boil the mugwort into water, soak the mask in the mugwort water, and then dry it before wearing it? Would that be better?”

Dr. Li’s eyes flashed with approval. “This is a good idea. Mugwort water also has anti-virus effects. The sun is strong now, so it doesn’t take long to dry it.”

Then everyone discussed the precautions for entering Baiji County. After confirming, each team’s person in charge ordered to go down.

Li Rui received the task and was very surprised, but when he saw everyone else moving, he didn’t dare to delay and hurried back.

“Brother, what happened?”

“Arui, what happened up front?” asked the second uncle of the Li family.

Li Rui explained the matter briefly, and the second uncle of the Li family frowned, “Does it need to be so troublesome?”

The second uncle of the Li family said to him, “They are doctors and have more knowledge than you. You are right to listen to them.

If you don’t want to, we won’t stop you.”

Being attacked by his second brother, the second uncle of the Li family did not dare to say a word.

Li Rui said, “Every family, hurry up and take action.”

When the women at home heard that there might be an epidemic ahead, no one dared to delay.

Those who had new masks put the newly sewn masks into the mugwort water to soak.

The people who were fleeing behind them were surprised to see that they all stopped and every household was boiling mugwort water.

Several people came up to ask about the situation.

“Why did you suddenly boil your clothes in mugwort water?” The person who spoke was an old man, and he asked cautiously, for fear of causing displeasure.

When Su Yin saw it, she answered for the old man, “Old man, we smelled the smell of corpses, and we were afraid that there might be a large number of corpses ahead.

When there are too many corpses, it is easy to breed diseases. Just in case, we are using wormwood.

If you are not in a hurry, you can also ask your family to be careful.”
