"Why not, I wrapped it in my underwear before, you may not have seen it."

"Really? Can't you? The clothes in this were all washed by me and my second sister when we were in Heishui Village before, and we were careful when we washed them, and we didn't miss a single piece of clothing at all, you ......"

Shen Xinyue was speechless: "Can't it be that you are dazzled?" Can I still make such a thing out of thin air? ”

Shen March scratched his head, as if he really couldn't.

If you can really conjure things, then you won't become a god.

"Milk, I gave it to me from the big lady in the town before, and I thought this little piece of fabric was useless at the time, but now it can come in handy."

Shen Xinyue put the mask on her face in a demonstration, and then distributed it to Mrs. Shen, Shen Yingyue's sisters, and Wang Liang.

Seeing that they all put on their masks, Shen Xinyue handed over the rest to her second sister for safekeeping.

The group drove the mule cart and walked for more than two hours, and finally arrived at Jiyun Town.

It's just that the situation here is also hard to describe.

Because a lot of people died in Xiaowa Village, a large number of victims who passed through there all flocked to Jiyun Town, causing it to be crowded with people.

At a cursory glance, there are almost a few thousand people.

"There are officers and soldiers guarding the official road ahead, and they won't let them pass without a road guide. Alas, this is not a way to live, so I can only wait here to die. ”

The weather was cold, and everyone was crowded together to occupy the sunny direction at the city gate.

If you don't get into the position, you can only try to shrink your body in one place.

Because of the long period of not having enough to eat, and starving, everyone's face was full of despair.

What's even more terrifying is that some people have died, and their families can't afford to bury them, so they throw the corpses aside at will, and a gust of wind blows, and you can vaguely smell the smell of decay and stench.

This unclean environment is the most prone to bacterial and viral growth, especially when so many people are crowded together, and if the plague breaks out, it can be a widespread cholera.

"Brother, I went to the city gate to investigate, and the entrance fee has risen to two yuan per person."

Hu Songbai came back from the front, and this news is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

Shen Ergou: "This is too expensive!" Uncle, could it be that we can only go back to Xiaowa Village? ”

"You still have to go into the city."

Shen Dacheng wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a while and said: "You can't come in vain, the temperature has dropped so much recently, everyone has not prepared thick clothes, I am afraid that we will suffer on the way, or send two people into the city to buy some things to use, it is best to buy some medicinal materials." ”

Before, they had prepared medicine for bruises or cold, but this time they had to buy some medicine for the plague.

"The girl in the new moon is blessed, she can meet a noble person every time, it's better to let her go, see if she can pick up anything cheap this time, and we can also borrow it."

Before everyone could speak, he had already taken the lead in promoting Shen Xinyue with his mouth open.

Li Guilan immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, this girl is clever, and she will be blessed at a glance, so she should go." ”

Open your mouth wide and pout, open your eyes and talk nonsense, and see that there is no two taels of flesh on the body, where does the blessing come from.

When he turned his head and saw his son Yuanbao's chubby little face, he said in his heart that this is a blessing.

Soon, everyone elected Shen Xinyue and Hu Chunsheng to enter the city together.

Even if there are only two people, the entrance fee will cost four dollars.

"If you grind tofu for a month, you can't make four times a lot of money." Looking at the money handed over, Hu Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh distressedly.

Shen Xinyue comforted: "The world is like this, but we have hands and feet, and we can always earn back the money we spend." ”

After the two entered the city, they didn't stay much and went straight to a cloth village.

At this time, there were very few customers who still had money to buy fabrics.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic.

"Is there cotton?"

Hearing her ask, the shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Girl, how can there be such a rare thing as cotton in our small place, even if there is, the price is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it."

Shen Xinyue understood after a little thought, now that food is a problem, cotton has not yet been popularized, and only a small amount will be planted in remote places.

Shen Xinyue could only retreat and asked, "Then do you have a thicker fabric here?" ”

In the end, I spent two dollars and bought a piece of cloth. Shen Xinyue paid the usual money separately and bought a roll of oilcloth.

Hu Chunsheng asked about the situation and bought a roll.

Then she went to the pharmacy with Hu Chunsheng. As a result, I was told that the medicine related to the plague had long been sold out.

Even if it is a medicine to clear away heat and detoxify, there is not much left.

This was very disappointing for the two.

"Sir, do you have a cure for the plague? Can you open one for me, and pay for it. ”

Shen Xinyue didn't know medical skills, but if she knew what medicinal herbs were there, she could take some out of the space.

The old doctor sighed: "Alas, this time the symptoms are very different from the past, if there is a prescription, it will not be allowed to spread this plague, and I don't know how many people will die in this plague." ”

All you can do is leave it to fate.

Partial Shen Xinyue did not want to appoint.

She only believes that things are man-made.

"Sister Crescent, where are you going?"

Coming out of the pharmacy, Hu Chunsheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that she was not going in the direction of going out of the city.

"Brother Chunsheng, I heard that lime can prevent moisture and kill insects, and maybe it will be effective in preventing plague. Let's go buy some and scatter some around when we stop to rest. There are also spirits, which also have a disinfecting effect. ”

Hu Chunsheng understands the role of lime, but as for the disinfection of spirits, he is not very clear.

However, Shen Xinyue said that it was useful, so he didn't say anything and went with him.

When the two of them went out of the city and learned that they hadn't bought any useful medicinal herbs, everyone panicked.

But the rush could not be delayed, and everyone decided to return to Xiaowa Village, and then cross the village as fast as possible.

At this time, everyone is still holding a fluke mentality, as long as they don't stay, most of them should not be infected.

But things were far worse than they thought.

Shen Dacheng led the team all the way to Xiaowa Village, and before he got close, there was a stench of corpse decay.

Dozens of families in the entire village did not make a sound.

On the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, two crows made a desolate quack.

Xiaowa Village has become a village of the dead.

Shen Dacheng: "It's getting dark, everyone go faster, and when we get here, let's find a place to rest." ”

Even if he didn't urge, no one dared to delay time.

Everyone unconsciously quickened their pace, as if they were afraid that there would be ghosts chasing after them.

As Xiaowa Village was left far behind, everyone's breath was slightly relieved.

"Didn't you say before that there were still people in the village? In that situation just now, the people who watched it had chills down their spines, and my cold hairs stood on end. ”

"I guess the people in the village don't want to wait for death to run away, whatever, as long as we're okay."

Shen Xinyue listened to everyone's discussions, and her mood did not relax.
