Lin Jiuyue also frowned.

The weather is hot now, and corpses are rotting faster. Untreated corpses are easily spread by mosquitoes, rats and other animals, making it easy for plague to occur.

What's more, now it is not just a matter of one or two corpses.

If they didn't leave quickly and stayed here any longer, some of the villagers would definitely get sick. If a plague really broke out, it would be more than just a matter of fleeing famine.

"I don't know what happened. Let's get out of this troubled place as soon as possible. I'll tell the villagers to hurry up."

After the village chief finished speaking, he hurried to inform the villagers.

While the village chief was away, Lin Jiuyue expressed her concerns.

Gu Chengyan fell silent after hearing this.

plague!

Just mentioning these two words can make people feel scared.

"I hope things won't develop as you say, but we must also prepare for the worst."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"I bought a lot of cloth in the city earlier. I'll wait for the village chief to come over and have him tell the villagers to make some face cloths. If they come across a dead body, they can use them to cover their mouths and noses. Although it can't completely prevent infection, it can at least play a role."

Lin Jiuyue didn't know whether a plague would break out, but in this situation, there wasn't much she could do. She could only pray that things wouldn't develop as she imagined.

Gu Chengyan nodded.

"Well, it's better to be prepared than not to be prepared."

After the village chief informed the villagers, they all became panicked and there was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"Village chief, since Ji Liangchuan and the others said they found the scene of the fight and saw the bodies, if we hurry on our way now, will we run into those vicious bandits?"

The villagers subconsciously thought that those people were killed by bandits.

The village chief remained silent, not because he didn't want to, but because he himself didn't know.

I had no idea what was ahead. I just knew I couldn't stay here for long.

"Everyone, don't overthink it, just keep going. I believe there's always a way out."

After the village chief finished speaking, he quickly caught up with Lin Jiuyue and others.

"Ji family boy, September girl. The villagers were just asking if we would run into those bad guys if we hurried on our way."

As soon as Lin Jiuyue heard it, she knew who the evil person the village chief was talking about was.

"Village Chief, I don't know whether we will be encountered. But I am sure that we can't stay in that place for long."

Lin Jiuyue said this in a serious tone, and then told the village chief about the plague. After listening to it, the village chief was also frightened.

"Oh my God, they don't want us to live. Things just got better, and now we encounter these things. When will this famine end?"

Lin Jiuyue was also feeling a little depressed.

If there is no food, I have space and can take some out from time to time, but there is nothing I can do about the plague, and I don’t know any medical skills!

"Village chief, don't worry. I'm just saying this casually. I bought some cloth when I was in the city. Have the women in the village come to me and get some according to the number of people in the family. I'll sew a face towel for everyone in the family. It's best to bring the face towels with you when you travel."

"Oh, and also, have all the villagers wear robes from now on. Even if you don't have robes, don't expose your skin to avoid mosquito bites."

The virus can be transmitted through mosquitoes, and the village chief probably understood Lin Jiuyue’s intention.

"September girl, I thank you on behalf of the villagers. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do now."

Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.

Although I bought a lot of cloth, after sharing it out, there wasn't much left.

If he wasn't afraid that the villagers would be infected with the plague, he would not be willing to give away the limited amount of cloth under such circumstances.

"Village chief, this is no joke. Once the villagers get the cloth, have them make face towels immediately. Also, this cloth is for making face towels and cannot be used for anything else. Don't take the cloth and then save it."

Lin Jiuyue knew that cloth was precious in that era, and some families were reluctant to use even a piece of cloth the size of a palm.

The village chief nodded.

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise this matter and ensure that everyone can wear a face covering."

After hearing the village chief's assurance, Lin Jiuyue felt relieved.

After receiving the notice from the village chief, each household sent a representative to Lin Jiuyue to collect the cloth. After reporting the number of people, Lin Jiuyue distributed the cloth according to the population.

He also explained the interests involved and urged everyone to sew the face cloth as soon as possible.

No one had gone to the place where the body was found before. And the body hadn't completely decayed yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

But no one knows what happens next.

After distributing the cloth, Lin Jiuyue asked the village chief to gather the villagers together and tell everyone how to prevent the plague.

After hearing this, the villagers were all frightened.

"Oh, before, we drank raw water directly to save firewood. After hearing what Jiu Yue said, we can't drink raw water anymore."

The timid villagers patted their chests in fear as they spoke.

Plague! Once a plague appears, it is contagious.

There were older villagers in the team. When they thought about the plague they experienced when they were young, even though so many years had passed, they still felt a little scared when they thought about it.

"Yes, everyone should do as Miss September says. If I find out that anyone dares to save the cloth for other purposes, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"We are all traveling together now, so everyone needs to be extremely careful. We can't let a single bad apple spoil the whole bunch!"

The village chief gave some instructions, then told everyone to continue on their way with a heavy heart.

Lin Jiuyue looked at the cloth she had bought and felt distressed when she saw that half of it was gone before she even started making new clothes.

But then I remembered that I didn't know how to make clothes at all, and that when I bought the cloth, I was just following the trend. After all, making your own clothes was popular in that era. I felt a little better.

Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and bought some ready-made clothes. Otherwise, I would have nothing to wear.

Because it was dark, everyone had to travel in the dark, and even if they wanted to sew a face towel, they couldn't do it.

After walking in the dark for an hour, we finally found a place to rest temporarily.

After lighting the fire, the women in the team took out the cloth they had received from Lin Jiuyue and started sewing in the dim light of the fire.

At this time, no one complained about the heat around the fire anymore.

It is very simple to sew a face towel, just do it casually as long as it can cover your face.

Lin Jiuyue also wanted to sew, but suddenly remembered that she had bought everything except needles and thread, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"September, what's wrong?"
