Their eyes turned to the dilapidated eaves at the same time, and on the grass hut on the roof, there were some snow blocks that had not completely melted, and on the edges, water droplets were dripping downwards one by one.

And the foul smell came from this little thatched hut.

"It's been rotten for a day or two."

Feng Yi frowned and said softly.

Shen Youqiu's face was also a little ugly.

"The Imperial Court didn't even dispose of these corpses?"

"Maybe it's not too late." Feng Yi said lightly.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid something will go wrong." Shen Youqiu wanted to walk forward, but stopped again and looked back at Feng Yi.

"If I burn down this thatched hut, will it make any difference?"

"No, it won't."

Feng Yi shook his head, "However, if someone still has a family, you will burn the person with a fire, how will people find it at that time."

Hearing this, Shen Youqiu frowned.

She shouldn't have cared about these things, but if it was just negligence in one place, according to the current situation, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen in just one place, this is far and near ten miles, and there are many people who are frozen to death in the house and no one cares.

"I don't think there are any relatives here."

Shen Youqiu frowned and said: "It's already spring now, and those victims have basically returned to their homes, and those who can be resettled are basically settled, if there are corpses, they should have been buried a long time ago, all the way over, I saw two new graves, if the owner of this house still has relatives, there will probably not be this kind of situation where no one cares."

"If the master really wants to burn it, burn it."

Feng Yi also nodded, "This situation doesn't look right, so many corpses are exposed outside, it's not good after all, and I smell this smell, now the people inside are not too badly rotten, and in two days, I'm afraid no one will be able to recognize who the people inside are."

"Hmm."

Shen Youqiu nodded, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and came to the window to push open the window and burn the corpses inside, but the windows and doors were closed from the inside.

At this moment, a man suddenly walked over and looked at the two of them with a wary expression.

"What are you doing here? Sneaky, it can't be a thief."

Shen Youqiu looked at him, a little speechless.

With this dilapidated house, what else is worth stealing, and besides, it stinks so much that there are obviously dead people.

"We just smell something in here and want to see what's going on inside."

She frowned and said, "The person inside must have been dead for a long time, this uncle, I don't know if you know the person who lives here?" If you know, let your relatives take care of the corpse, and it's not a problem to keep it like this."

"I'm in the same village as him, so naturally I know him, and his daughter is in another village, so she won't be able to come for a while, so I can only let people know."

When the middle-aged man heard her say this, he let down his guard a little, and then said, "But don't stay here, this is not a good place, there are many things to do in our village now, and there are taboos everywhere, I don't think you look like ordinary people, or don't walk around in this mountain wilderness."

"In addition, the beasts in this forest have also been hungry for a winter, and only two days ago a child was taken away by a wolf for fun, I see that you are very delicate, don't hang around here, let's go."

Seeing that this person was also kind, Shen Youqiu hurriedly smiled and nodded.

"Thanks for the reminder, we'll be leaving soon."

The man snorted, looked busy, and quickly left the place again.

Seeing this, Shen Youqiu didn't plan to burn the people here, so he went straight to the back mountain with Feng Yi.

The snow had basically melted clean, because she had experience looking for herbs before, and this time, it didn't take long for her to find them.

After digging out a small basket in a small way, she suddenly saw a small cliff growing not far away

A very precious herb.

This herb is used to treat epidemics, wind and cold, but it is relatively rare.

Thinking of the changes in the capital during this time, Shen Youqiu was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately grabbed the small hoe and walked towards the small cliff.

With her current skills, the section of the cliff basically had no effect on her, and she quickly arrived at the place, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as she got there, she saw a person pouting and kneeling on the edge of the cliff, digging for the herb.

Looking at his figure, he is a very thin man.

Where did this man come from?

When she saw this person, Shen Youqiu was taken aback, she walked all the way, and she clearly didn't see anyone, why did this person suddenly appear here.

Looking back at Feng Yi, she saw Feng Yi also shaking her head with a solemn expression, obviously, she didn't know where this person came from.

There was no way, the herbs were taken first, Shen Youqiu could only give up, and could only watch the treasure being snatched away by others.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, the man digging for the herbs stood up, holding the herbs with a precious face, looking left and right, and gently cleaning the soil on the herbs.

Shen Youqiu saw the man's face.

"How is he?"

She was taken aback.

This person, no, this old man turned out to be the strange-tempered minister he met when he went out to collect medicine before, Li Sizhi.

This old man looked so thin, how did he climb to this place?

Shen Youqiu's face was a little strange.

Before she could decide whether to pretend not to know her and leave, the old man suddenly glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth hooked, and sneered.

"Yo, isn't this the girl who said bad things about my old man behind my back last time, we really have a fate."

Looking at the old man's yin and yang weird appearance, at first glance, he was a person who was not easy to mess with, Shen Youqiu was too lazy to break with her, and said directly, "This old man, you must have recognized the wrong person."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Why, you don't want this herb anymore?"

Li Sizhi's voice sounded behind him.

"That's what you dug up, uncle, so naturally I can't rob you."

Shen Youqiu said, her footsteps did not stop at all, but as soon as her words fell, she felt that she was tapped on the shoulder, and she was immediately horrified.

This old man was so far away from her, how did he run into him all at once?

"Don't rush to go."

The old man smiled and said, "Look at your right, do you think you can go?"

"Why can't I go?"

Shen Youqiu frowned, suppressed the horror in his heart, looked to the right, and then saw a wolf staring at him.
