Others might not be able to see it, but those two people, with eight hundred sharp eyes put together, said they didn't notice anything, and he definitely didn't believe a single one of them.

Even if you don't see that girl, she will come running over to ask questions whenever she encounters something about a certain force or local officials.

Su Yin is a very cunning guy.

Nan Wu felt a little regretful, "That's a pity."

He still admired Su Yin very much. She was not spoiled, had her own ideas, and was bold and careful. She was a rare talent.

"Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced." Nan Jingzhi didn't care and leisurely waved the folding fan in his hand.

On the bumpy official road, a fleeing team moved forward quickly, and the refugees following behind them gradually distanced themselves from them.

The team passed one group of refugees after another. The refugees who were passed looked at their carriages with envy in their eyes. After the envy, they could only walk mechanically.

According to what Mr. Wan San said, Baiji County, which is the border between Nanshan County and Jinghe County, is right in front.

Baiji County is named after the medicinal herb Bletilla striata it produces.

The Baiji here is the best in the entire Dayong Dynasty.

Because of the Bletilla striata, Baiji County is very rich.

The closer Su Yin got to Baiji County, the more obvious the difference she could feel. The most obvious thing was that there were few corpses on both sides of the official road, which was completely different from the hinterland of Nanshan County.

About a cup of tea later, a seven-story Baiji Tower appeared in front of them, which meant that they were about to enter Baiji County.

Su Yin looked at the side of the official road ahead, where there stood a stone tablet with a white hyacinth pattern.

Finally we arrived at Baiji County, passed Nanshan County, and entered Jinghe County.

The water they carried with them was also in danger. The drought level in Jinghe County was less severe than in Nanping County and Nanshan County, so finding water should be much easier than in these two counties.

When they were five hundred meters away from Baiji Tower, Su Yin frowned slightly and his nose twitched a few times.

Is it her illusion?

Soon the smell came again.

This time she could smell it clearly, and it was not her illusion.

Su Yin raised her hand, and the entire team started from her, slowly stopped, and extended to the back.

They had been walking for two and a half hours, and as usual, it was probably time to rest.

Su Baozhu found it strange that she didn't move and didn't ask to rest.

"What's wrong?"

Su Baozhu looked around and found nothing wrong.

Su's mother lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Yunniang followed suit, sticking her head out and looking forward.

Su Yin noticed it and ordered, "Yunniang, don't come out."

Hearing her say this, Yunniang obediently shrank back into the car.

Master Wan San jumped off the mule cart at the back and handed the reins to Yang Rong.

As soon as I got closer, I saw Su Yin taking off the mask on her face and sniffing the air carefully.

Uncle Wan San noticed it, took off his mask and started smelling.

At first I didn't smell anything, but suddenly a breeze blew and a bad odor hit me in the face.

Stinky!

"Can you smell it?" Su Yin looked at Master Wan San.

Master Wan San nodded.

Su Yin looked around and saw few corpses on both sides of the official road. No, it should be said that she had not seen a single corpse since entering Baiji County.

And this stench was obviously the smell of a rotting corpse.

Master Wan San looked behind him and told Yang Rong, "Go and call Doctor Li."

Yang Rong got off the mule cart and went to the back of the team to ask for help.

When Yang Hu (Yang the Butcher) and others saw him, they asked casually, "Did you take a break?"

Yang Rong waved his hand, "No, something is wrong up ahead, Fatty asked me to ask Doctor Li to come over."

Upon hearing that something was wrong ahead, Yang Hu's heart sank, and he immediately gave orders for everyone to be on alert.

Nan Jingzhi also heard the sound of the wind. He rode his horse across the long line and came to the front. Just as he was about to ask, he smelled a faint stench.

Doctor Li nodded affirmatively, "It's most likely the stench of a rotting human body."

Yang Dashan also came over. After he finished speaking, he frowned and said, "There are no bodies on either side. Where does this stench come from?"

Yes, where does this smell come from?

Being able to smell the stench from such a distance, there must be more than one or two corpses. All these signs forced Su Yin to proceed with caution.

Nan Wu said, "Judging from the wind direction today, the smell should be coming from Baiji County."

Everyone's eyes were looking towards the direction of Baiji County.

They hadn't even reached Baiji County yet, but they could already smell the stench of a corpse. This was not a good sign.

They had to pass through Baiji County, but the situation there was unclear, so now they had to prepare for the worst.

"The situation ahead is unclear, but given the stench, we have to take it seriously."

Doctor Li nodded. "A large number of corpses have not been buried. It is easy for epidemics to spread. We have to prevent it."

"Every household has mugwort. My opinion is that everyone in every household must wear a mask before entering Baiji County."

The word "mask" originated from Su Yin. Because it is appropriate, gradually everyone starts calling it a mask.

Su Yin nodded and added, "Doctor Li, can we boil the wormwood into water, soak the mask in the water, and then dry it before wearing it? Would that be better?"

Doctor Li's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. Mugwort water also has a disinfecting effect. The sun is so strong right now, it won't take long to dry."

Next, everyone discussed the precautions for entering Baiji County. After confirming them, the leader of each team gave orders.

Li Rui was very surprised when he received the task, but seeing that everyone else had started moving, he did not dare to delay and hurried back.

"Brother, what happened?"

"A Rui, what happened up front?" asked the second uncle of the Li family.

Li Rui briefly explained the matter, and Uncle Li frowned, "Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?"

Uncle Li said to him, "They are doctors and have more experience than you. You will be right if you listen to them. If you don't want to, we won't stop you."

After being scolded by his second elder brother, Uncle Li dared not say a word.

Li Rui said, "Everyone, hurry up and move."

When the women in the family heard that there might be an epidemic ahead, they did not dare to delay. Those who had new masks soaked them in mugwort water.

The refugees following behind them were surprised to see that they had all stopped and every household was boiling mugwort water.

Several people came forward to inquire about the situation.

"Why are you suddenly boiling clothes with mugwort water?" The person who spoke was an old man, who asked cautiously, fearing that he might upset others.

Su Yin saw it and answered for the old man, "Old man, we smell the stench of corpses. We are afraid that there may be a lot of corpses ahead. When there are too many corpses, it is easy to breed epidemics. Just in case, we soaked the masks we are wearing with mugwort water. If you are not in a hurry, you can also ask your family to take precautions. It is always better to be careful."
