Traveling through the farmhouse: there is room for the group pet Fubao

Chapter 23 Miserable

The brothers and sisters set off early the next morning. Before departure, Chu Tian asked her father and the others to bury the dead people in the upper reaches of the river, but they could not touch them. They could only pry them into the pit with wood.

Poor thing, Xiao Chutian has more things to worry about than usual.

It is only ten miles from the small slope where the foothold is to the main road. The brother and sister took Xiaobai and rode on a big horse for more than half an hour.

The brothers and sisters found a hiding place to observe first. The scene that caught their eyes was too miserable. How miserable is it?
Almost all of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled human-shaped skeletons, walking and shaking, and one or two can fall down when walking erratically...

This is still a place where there are mountains everywhere, where you can pick up some wild vegetables and leaves and have water to eat and drink. If you go to a place where there is no green and no water, I don’t know what will happen.At first glance, these are people who only escaped with a bachelor's life and nothing else.

"Sister, have you seen it? There are no young adults."

"It should be caught as a coolie and used as cannon fodder."

"Hey, where can I escape like this? Look, there's another one falling down."

"We have been on the road for five days. It takes two days to travel from our village to Wancheng, right? In this way, these people escaped from there and persisted for at least seven days. It is okay to say that they are hungry and tired. It's big!"

"Is there a plague like you expected?"

"I hope I'm not sure, but the hope is very slim."

……

While talking, Chu Tian folded the small handkerchief into a triangle shape and tied it on her face as a mask, and gave her second brother to tie it up like her.

"Sister, do you want to go to the avenue to ask?"

"Well, otherwise, how would I know if there is a disease?"

Right.

When Chu Tian stood by the side of the road and looked closely, she realized that there were far more than one or two down on the road. As far as the eye could see, there were already seven or eight people lying on the ground.

I found a fairly normal woman with a child and asked, and the person said that along the way, Wancheng and the surrounding villages and towns hardly saw any living people, and the dead were not buried.

It's strange that the germs are dissatisfied with Tianfei in the hot weather.

"Auntie, it's better to cover your mouth and nose with a cloth towel. It can prevent epidemics. Try to boil the water you drink on the road. Be careful with the things you take in and avoid contact with sick people."

Seeing that the brother and sister were covered with a veil, the woman tore off two pieces of cloth and covered both mother and daughter.

Before leaving, Chu Tian took out a handful of candy from her pocket and stuffed it for the little girl. These candies are energy, and the candy that she didn't eat on the road can last for a few days, and that's all she can do.

Back in the woods where the horse was tied, Chu Tian sat down for a long time but was speechless.

It's too miserable. I come from a civilized, harmonious and prosperous society. I have never encountered such a tragedy. What I saw just now is worse than what was shown on TV.

"Sister, Tiantian..."

"Second brother, woo woo."

Seeing the girl in a daze, Xiang Bin sat down next to her and called her back to her soul.

Chu Tian sobbed and leaned on her second brother, she was powerless and scared, feeling that it was too difficult to live in this world!Thinking about what happened to me, I ran away from the famine within a few days after waking up, and encountered the epidemic within a few days after escaping, and I don’t know what else is waiting in front of me.

The sassy spirit of daring to throw bowls and fight with three men is gone, Chu Tian just wants to be an eight-year-old girl leaning on her brother's shoulder and acting like a baby.

"I don't know about others, but you know medical skills, so I trust you."

"Don't say you know medicine, it's useless if you know it, there's no medicine."

It doesn't matter what you want, can she protect ten households from illness, can she protect so many people along the way?Any one of these mixed into a village or city would infect the whole area. It is not a lie that nine out of ten rooms were empty when an epidemic occurred in ancient times.
