"Come back early." Tie Zhu sat cross-legged on the cart and closed his eyes and said.

"Don't sneak along." Xu Xiaoxiao knew Tiezhu too well, and Bacheng would quietly follow behind them after they left.

His curiosity was more important than his life.

"No." Tie Zhu replied sullenly.

Liu Qiaoer and Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, smiled and said nothing.

"Mother, let's go first." Liu Qiaoer said to Liu Dahua with a cloth bag on her back.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Liu Dahua looked at the back of her daughter leaving, and felt melancholy in her heart.

They came to Liu Lizheng, Liu Lizheng and Liu Mengzhou had been waiting at the intersection for a long time, and when they saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming, everyone's faces showed a touch of guilt, there were many strong men in Liujia Village, and finally let the two female dolls take risks.

Liu Lizheng explained a few words to Liu Mengzhou and then watched the four people leave, the afternoon sun was particularly dazzling, he squinted at the shadows of the four children drifting away, and his heart was terrified.

Hope all the best.

Due to the small number of people in the team on this trip, they discussed taking a small road, and the small road to Anle Town was more difficult to walk than the main road, surrounded by shrubs and jungles, and there were many human-shaped weeds, which required Liu Mengzhou and Liu Dazhuang to cut down weeds all the way to pass.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er followed behind, the more they walked in, the more mosquitoes there were, many crows hovered in mid-air, the path was covered by bushes, and the cold was pressing along the way, and there was no sultry feeling in the hot summer at all.

"Ahh

Xu Xiaoxiao quickly protected Liu Qiao'er behind her, followed her gaze, and saw a pair of feet appear in the weeds, the feet were white, and the surroundings were covered with flies, and the crows circled and went directly into the grass.

"Stay away and cover your nose and mouth." Xu Xiaoxiao handed Liu Qiao'er to Liu Dazhuang and waved his hand to let a few people leave.

Liu Dazhuang pulled Liu Qiao'er and walked forward a few meters, and Liu Mengzhou held the big knife and was vigilant about the movements around him.

Xu Xiaoxiao put on her mask, put on disposable gloves, and carefully pushed away the grass, she needed to see clearly whether the person in front of her had died of natural causes or died of smallpox.

The dense grass gradually separated, revealing a decomposing male corpse, surrounded by flies and corpse insects, and crows gnawing on the corpse.

The man's face was festering, his eyes were bloody, and there were scratches on his chest.

"It's smallpox, let's go." Xu Xiaoxiao recognized at a glance that the man was infected with the plague, and his face was startled and he took a few steps back.

She quickly took out the alcohol from the cloth bag and sprayed herself, then turned and walked briskly forward.

Liu Mengzhou's face turned pale when he heard smallpox, his legs froze in place and couldn't move, but Liu Dazhuang still pulled his arm and walked forward.

"Has smallpox spread to Anle Town?" Liu Mengzhou had palpitations and sprayed alcohol on his body.

"Looks like so." Xu Xiaoxiao replied thoughtfully.

Liu Dazhuang frowned and said worriedly: "There should be more corpses ahead, everyone should wear masks and quickly pass through the grass." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao and others agreed with Liu Dazhuang's analysis and nodded in response.

Several of them walked quickly through the grass, not daring to relax for a moment, and sure enough, as Liu Dazhuang said, a corpse was found every few meters, and the degree of festering of the corpse was the same as that of the man he had seen before.

"Then does Chu Qing know that Anle Town is infected with the plague?" Liu Qiao'er gasped as she recalled seeing the hint in the letter.

"It should be." Xu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to conclude their conjectures.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people, including Liu Dazhuang, were worried, and if the plague spread to the villagers of Liujia Village, Anle Town, they would face a dilemma.

Anle Town is located in the plain area, surrounded by hills, the hills are rugged, it is extremely difficult for people to walk, not to mention that some families also have ox carts and horse carts, and these cattle and horses are the last property of the villagers, let them give up it is better to let them die, at present only through Anle Town is the best plan.

"Don't worry, arrive at Anle Town to see the situation and then discuss." Xu Xiaoxiao felt that everyone's mood was low, so she had to think about the situation as much as possible.

After about two quarters of an hour, they finally walked out of the grass and came to the main road of Anle Town, which was crowded with refugees heading to Anle Town, and everyone was full of joy and longing.

Xu Xiaoxiao and others followed the team and slowly moved forward, but the team only moved a few meters before stopping, and many people anxiously stretched their necks to check the situation.

"You wait for me here, I'll go up and check on the situation." Liu Mengzhou was anxious and was about to arrive at Anle Town, but he was stuck by the team, and he was anxious, so he simply walked out of the team and walked forward to check the situation.

"Wait a minute, I'll go, you guys go to a place where there are few people, and try to avoid communicating with people." Xu Xiaoxiao grabbed Liu Mengzhou, who wanted to leave the team.

She was not worried about Liu Mengzhou going, mainly because she was worried that if there was an infected person in front of her, he would be easily infected without antibodies.

Liu Mengzhou wanted to say a few more words, but thinking of Liu Lizheng's words before leaving, he swallowed the words, nodded and walked out of the team to the side.

There were a lot of refugees who went to Anle Town, everyone wanted to come forward to find out the situation, and no one gave in when they were crowded, Xu Xiaoxiao shuttled through the gap with his head down, and after a while, he came to the front of the team.

Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out her head from the crowd, but when she stabilized her body and saw the current situation clearly, the whole person was shocked by the scene in front of her.

I saw a soldier in armor using a wooden stake to stop the refugees outside the city gate, behind the soldier was the vermilion gate, the gate was closed, many refugees camped in the open space, some of the refugees had difficulty breathing and coughing, and some of their faces had gradually festered.

Her heart suddenly twitched, she pursed her lips, her brain spun rapidly, and it seemed that smallpox had really spread to Anle Town.

The mood of the refugees became more and more impatient, shouting and pushing the stakes, everyone trying to break away from the ranks and rush into the city, which was filled with name-calling, angry shouts and the crying of babies.

Xu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the chaos of the refugees to escape from the crowd and trotted in the direction of Liu Qiao'er.

Liu Dazhuang, who was standing in the grass, stretched out his hand to protect Liu Qiao'er, and Liu Mengzhou held a big knife to always watch out for refugees who had lost their minds.

"Let's go." Xu Xiaoxiao trotted all the way to Liu Dazhuang and the others and pushed them into the grass.

When they entered the grass, they crouched down and watched through the cracks in the grass as the refugees fought each other, including soldiers, in a bloody and chaotic scene.

Liu Qiaoer couldn't stand it and buried her face in Xu Xiaoxiao's arms, and even Liu Mengzhou, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, looked sick and retched.

"Let's go, it's not safe here." Liu Dazhuang still looked at everything in front of him without changing his face, and calmly stepped back.

The miserable screams of the refugees could still be heard clearly until they had walked more than a hundred meters, the sound was desolate and helpless, and a large number of crows circled over Anle Town, staring at the chaotic crowd.
