Chapter 74: Scare off the wild dogs
"Woo......" The two wild dogs were lying low, their mouths let out a low growl, and they looked ready to jump up and attack at any time, dark red saliva overflowed from between their teeth, dripping down the corners of their mouths, and there were still a few traces of flesh hanging on their teeth.
On the opposite side were two figures, one large and one small, the big one holding a hoe in his hand, and the small one holding a shovel, and the two kept shouting "Go...... Go! The hoe and shovel in his hand shook from time to time, trying to drive away the two wild dogs opposite.
Between the two men and the two dogs, there were three corpses lying horizontally, one of which had a head that was no longer there, the skin and flesh of the thighs and lower abdomen had been torn apart, and the white bones of the forest were stained with dried black blood, which was beyond recognition.
Obviously, it was made like this by these two wild dogs.
The food that was close at hand tempted the two animals all the time, and after a brief confrontation, they seemed to have seen through the nature of the two men in front of them, their roars so small that they could barely be heard, their forelimbs sinking down, and they were about to pounce forward on the two men who were hindering their feeding.
"Poof!"
A lump of dirt suddenly fell in front of the two animals, and then burst open, and the flying pieces did not disappear, and hit the heads of the two dogs.
"Uh......h Woo! The two wild dogs were startled and took a few steps back.
"Wang ...... Woof! One of them had been hit in the nose by a splinter, his eyes wide open, and he barked loudly in front of him.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”
"Wang! Woo......"
The two wild dogs had just barked a few high-pitched times, but they were interrupted by the ensuing rain like clods and stones, although most of them did not hit directly, but the aftermath of rebounding after landing still forced the two dogs to retreat again and again.
"Smack!"
The last stone struck the dog's beak, which was barking wildly, and the high cry was suddenly interrupted and turned into a low cry, and a wild dog turned and fled, its tail clinging low, leaving half of its yellowish canine teeth in its place.
When the other wild dog saw his companion fleeing, another group of people came diagonally in front of him, and his momentum suddenly disappeared, and he also ran away.
Seeing this, Zhiwen put down the stone in his hand that he was about to throw, and was very dissatisfied, this bear's paw and fish can't have both.
The first piece of earth was thrown by him, and the strength was great enough, but he missed his head, and the last stone was accurate, but the strength was not enough, and only half of the tooth was broken.
If you have to practice more in the future, it can be regarded as a long-range weapon.
"Ah, thank you for breaking the siege! My father and son thanked me. When Zhiwen and the others approached, two people, one big and one small, who were confronting the wild dogs on the spot, stood upright, clasped their fists together, bowed slightly together, and saluted to show their gratitude.
And most of the people here were at a loss, either smirking or in a daze, Zhiwen just hugged a fist, and felt very awkward, only Xiao Jie returned the salute in a similar way, but he didn't know how to reply, and he was a little cold for a while.
The older man smiled when he saw this, probably knowing that the group of people in front of him had never read and did not know etiquette, so he was not surprised, "I will bury these people with the dog first, and then I will talk to you." ”
The words are still literal, but there is no more courtesy.
Everyone on Zhiwen's side breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt that this gift was more tiring than work.
"Let's do it together!" Zhiwen waved his hand, and a group of people hula surrounded him and began to dig a pit.
Oh? The other party was a little surprised, looked at Zhiwen and them and the hoe and shovel in their hands with great interest, smiled, did not refuse Zhiwen their kindness, untied a strip of cloth wrapped around their necks, covered their mouth and nose, tied a knot at the back of their heads, and began to act.
Seeing the other party's move, Zhiwen felt that he was a little careless, why didn't he think of using strips of cloth to make masks like them?
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
There were three sounds, and the three corpses were thrown into the deep pit that had been dug, and the pit was quickly dug with great strength.
"Wait a minute!" The elder on the other side stopped Zhiwen who was about to shovel the soil and fill the pit, and the young man took out a small paper bag out of nowhere and carefully sprinkled the white powder inside evenly on the three corpses.
A pungent smell followed, suppressing the stench of corpses that filled the air.
Quicklime!
These three words suddenly flashed in Zhiwen's mind, and then he slapped his head with a "snap", and the voice was so loud that everyone heard it, and they all looked at him strangely, and the two fathers and sons were no exception.
"It's okay, flea, a flea!" Zhiwen explained awkwardly, taking the lead in lifting the soil from the shovel into the pit.
The doubts that have been bothering him these days have been solved, and Zhiwen finally knows the reason why he is persistently helping people to collect the funerals.
Pestilence!
A catastrophe will be followed by a pandemic, which means that a large number of people will die during a catastrophe, and if they are not dealt with in time and allowed to decay and deteriorate, then the next thing will be a large-scale outbreak of virulent infectious diseases.
Zhiwen was annoyed that he had become a doctor for nothing in his previous life, and he didn't even think of such a serious consequence.
However, although he was a doctor in his previous life, he had only seen the scene of the outbreak of the epidemic in books, and he had no personal experience, so from this point of view, he could not be blamed.
Thinking of this corpse, there are many deadly bacteria or viruses lurking in the air, Zhiwen's back is cold, his hair stands on end, and he looks at the father and son with more admiration.
The strip of cloth that surrounds the mouth and nose is equivalent to the mask of later generations, which has a certain effect of filtering bacteria and viruses, and can also block part of the smell of corpses.
Sprinkle lime on the corpse to disinfect it and keep out the smell so that it won't be gouged out by wild beasts.
These two must be doctors.
Do you want to run away with the rest of the group, no matter what? This thought suddenly popped up in Zhiwen's heart.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, there have been a lot of dead people, not to mention starvation all over the wilderness, that is dozens of meters away from the dead.
The weather is so hot, the corpses decompose quickly, and the corpses, apart from themselves, that is, the two fathers and sons in front of them, can have much effect.
Zhiwen is certain that the plague is about to spread. Maybe someone has been infected with some unknown disease by now.
In this era when you can die of illness like Kobayashi and his sister if you have a small cold or a fever, contracting the plague is basically a death sentence, is it wise to continue like this?
However, Zhiwen immediately dispelled this idea.
If there is really a plague spreading, it is too late to run, not only is the entire drought-stricken land an epidemic area, but even after crossing the Yellow River, it is also under the threat of the plague.
You must know that Zhiwen and his party are not lagging behind in the entire fleeing team, but they are by no means ahead, grandpa and grandpa's house are nearly half a year early, and the striker has already crossed the Yellow River nine times out of ten.
They are now in the middle of the epidemic area, and it is not safe to run anywhere, and it is too late.
Zhiwen thought in his heart, but his hands did not stop, and he shoveled the soil with everyone to fill the pit.
