After hearing Su Yin's words, the old man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Several people around also heard it, and each had a different reaction.
Some people couldn't help but look forward, but they didn't see any corpse, nor did they smell any stench of corpse.
Su Yin explained the situation. As for whether they believed it or not, it was not something she could control. The choice was in their hands, and they were responsible for their own profits and losses.
After the old man came back, he told his family about the situation.
"Dad, what should we do?"
The old man looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and asked, "Do you have any mugwort left at home?"
Farmers will have some mugwort at home.
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded and said, "There are still some. When I came out, I thought that I might need them on the way, so I took them all with me."
The old man nodded, "Start a fire and boil some mugwort water, and you guys should get some masks out."
The old man's third son frowned and disagreed, "Dad, we don't have that much water anymore. It's unknown whether Jinghe County can get water. We have to use it sparingly. If you boil mugwort water, it will be a waste."
"I see that the closer we get to Jinghe County, the better the situation will be. There are no bodies on either side, so it's sure that nothing serious will happen."
The second son also followed suit, saying, "Dad, they have a big family and a big business, they can afford to waste that water, but we can't."
The old man hesitated a little, but looking at the busy work over there, and then looking at the calm Baiji County in front, the two formed a sharp contrast.
“Boil wormwood water.”
"Dad." The two sons were anxious.
The old man said calmly, "If it was really calm, why would they do this? With so many people, they were able to get here intact. Do you think it was just luck?"
This sentence successfully shut up the two sons.
The old man and his family followed Su Yin and the others, but the others did it differently.
After they returned, they explained the situation again.
"I think it's OK."
"Yes! This place is much better than those previous county towns."
"It's such a waste to boil mugwort water and use it to dye the mask."
"There is not enough water to waste."
For reasons like these, very few people learn Su Yin.
This group of people passed them and headed towards Baiji County. Not only did they not soak their masks in mugwort water, they didn't even bring masks with them and just left.
Su Baozhu saw the children in their team and couldn't help but remind them, "Please put on masks for the children."
Afraid that they didn't understand, she raised the mask in her hand.
A woman said, "It's so hot, wearing that thing is pure torture. You are really looking for trouble."
The man's husband also sneered and looked at them with contempt.
No one else said anything and continued walking forward.
Su Baozhu was so angry at the two that she laughed and spat on the ground, "My kindness was taken for granted."
Su Yin put her hand on her shoulder, "It's hard to persuade a damned person with kind words."
Master Wan San also spoke up, "What Su girl said is right. It's not worth getting angry over such people. They will cry later."
Yunniang, who had been resting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and couldn't help asking, "Will there really be a problem ahead?"
No one can give a definite answer to this question.
"Not necessarily." Su Yin said, "It's always a good idea to make some extra preparations just in case."
If you get to the place and find that something is not right, you will most likely miss it if you try to make preparations.
In the current situation, if you are infected with the plague, there is a high probability that you will die.
Mugwort has a good bactericidal and disinfecting effect. Under today's conditions, mugwort is their best choice.
When Su's mother was recuperating from her leg injury, she made a lot of masks, many of which were made of new fabrics. Today, she soaked all the masks for everyone in mugwort water.
Now it’s sunny. Put the soaked masks on the roof of the carport to dry. They will be dry in less than half an incense stick of time.
After delaying here for an hour, the team set off again.
Everyone wore masks soaked in mugwort water, and their noses were filled with the smell of mugwort. Fortunately, most people could accept the smell of mugwort and did not find it unpleasant.
After passing under the Baiji Tower and walking forward for about a cup of tea, the Baiji City Gate appeared.
The city gate was clean, there was not a single corpse, the gate was closed, and there were only a few guards patrolling on the city wall.
Everything is normal.
The scene they had expected of a large number of rotting corpses in Baiji County did not occur.
"Strange!" Nan Wu scratched his head in confusion, "I clearly smelled the smell coming from this side, how could it be gone?"
Both Nan Wu and Su Yin and others found it strange.
"Are we doing this in vain?" someone couldn't help but speak out.
"What is Bai Gong? What if it can be used in the future?"
"Ah, I wasted an hour for nothing."
"Look at the bright side. We have an extra hour of rest today. Isn't it better if we don't get sick or have any disasters in the future? Are you expecting a disaster?"
Discussions broke out in the team, and everyone was dumbfounded by the scene before them.
Su Yin frowned, the stench of the corpse could not deceive anyone.
There must be something weird going on here.
Master Wan San looked at the tightly closed Baiji City Gate and said, "You can't get in here. Let's go. I don't know why, but I always feel uncomfortable staying here."
Not only did he have this feeling, Su Yin also had this feeling.
"Walk."
The carriage bypassed Baiji County.
The people who followed Su Yin also arrived at the gate of Baiji City. The scene they expected did not appear and everything was calm.
The old man's second son complained angrily, "Dad, look, nothing happened."
The old man was also stunned, and felt heartbroken when he thought of the wasted water.
"I told you, as long as Baiji County is calm, there will be no problem. Look, you just followed them blindly and wasted so much water. We can use that water for several days." The second brother complained incessantly.
The old man lowered his head guiltily.
The eldest brother, who had remained silent the whole time, glared at his younger brother and said, "Second brother, stop talking to me. Dad, this is also for our own good. In case there is an epidemic here, this is to save our lives."
"It's just a little water. After passing Baiji County, we'll soon reach Jinghe County. But I heard that it rained there, so there's no shortage of water."
After the eldest brother finished speaking, the second brother shut up awkwardly.
Even so, the old man still felt uncomfortable.
Anyone who followed Su Yin and his group regretted their decision once they arrived in Baiji County, and anyone who agreed with the decision would complain to their family.
This caused those who agreed with Su Yin to feel depressed and guilty.
Su Yin and his group crossed Baiji County and walked forward for about half an incense stick of time when they were hit by a strong stench of corpses.
A village appeared in front of them. There was no one in the village, not even a corpse, but the stench of corpses was real.
