The others saw this and without being told, they took out mugwort from their luggage one by one and, imitating Su Yin, lit it. Some held it in their hands while others tied it to the edge of the carriage with ropes.
The smell of the burning mugwort immediately spread and lingered around the body.
The smell of cigarettes that used to be choking, now everyone wishes it would always surround them.
The other refugees saw their actions and were puzzled, but no one said anything. At most, they looked at them with dissatisfaction.
"What are you smoking?" A voice, neither loud nor soft, came from the fleeing team on one side.
Su Yin ignored it.
The voice spoke again, and shouted at Su Yin in dissatisfaction: "Hey, little maid, what are you smoking? It's so stinking. Hurry up and kill those things."
Su Yin turned her head to look at the person who was speaking. It was a woman, a well-maintained woman. Even in the fleeing team, she always maintained a dignified demeanor.
Needless to say, the person in front of him must be either rich or noble.
As she looked at her, the woman saw that she ignored her and frowned unhappily, "Little maid, are you deaf and can't hear people talking?"
Sitting in the carriage, Su Baozhu directly lifted the curtain and said, "Who are you calling deaf?! If your tongue is burning and you can't speak, then shut your mouth."
The woman was stunned by this sudden roar.
"You, you, you are so rude."
"Vulgar? I think you are a lowly servant." Su Baozhu immediately retorted.
"You, you, you..." The woman was very angry.
The little aunt didn't even have to do anything herself, she knocked the other person down.
Su Yin's eyes swept calmly over the woman without saying a word to her the entire time, and she turned back indifferently.
Perhaps it was the way Su Yin treated her like air the whole time that added fuel to the fire in her heart, and the woman fell backwards in anger.
"Ma'am, ma'am."
Su Yin ignored them and deliberately quickened her pace, not wanting to have too much contact with them. The people behind him felt the team's acceleration, and they all quickened their pace tacitly.
The team passed wave after wave of refugees.
Noon is the hottest time of the day. In the past, we would have to find a place to rest.
Not only people need to rest, but animals like horses also need to rest.
But today Su Yin did not stop the team, but instead quickened their pace.
They need to arrive in Nyingchi County as soon as possible.
It starts at 04:00 every day and continues until 20:00 every day.
We only had time to take a break for a cup of tea at noon and had to rush the whole way.
In order to get enough rest, Su Yin did not let her mother cook for the past few days. She just boiled some hot water every day and drank it with a bite of bread.
During the day, in order to prevent the body from consuming too much energy while traveling, Su Yin would cut a few pieces of braised and dried wild boar meat and chew them.
At nightfall, everything is quiet.
The fire was burning, making crackling sounds.
Su Baozhu asked Uncle Wan San, "Fat Uncle, how long will it take to get to Linzhi County?"
It has been really hard to travel these past two days.
Even sitting in a carriage, I couldn't bear it.
Master Wan San chewed some dried meat and said, "If we continue at the speed we have been going over the past two days, we will probably arrive around 9:00 p.m. tomorrow."
"That's not far."
It will take only two hours to get there.
"Not far."
The place they chose to camp was deliberately separated from other refugees.
At this moment, Li Rui hurried over with a serious expression.
Su Baozhu and Wan Sanye, who were chatting, stopped immediately.
Su Yin stood up and asked, "What happened?"
There was a hint of panic in Li Rui's voice, "My uncle has a high fever."
Having a high fever at this critical juncture is not a good thing.
"Walk."
The two hurriedly found Doctor Li.
When Doctor Li saw the expressions of the two men, his heart sank. He picked up his simple homemade medicine box and left with them.
"Mom, Dad and sister look so scary."
The little guy seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere between the adults and burrowed into the fisherman's arms in fear.
The fisherwoman hugged her son tightly and said, "Don't be afraid. Daddy is here. Everything will be fine."
Having said that, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
If it is true...
She didn't dare to think further.
All three of them put on masks and hurried to the place where Li Rui's uncle and his family were resting.
Su Yin saw that several people in their family were not wearing masks, and frowned, "You all go to the side and put on masks."
As soon as she spoke, Uncle Li Rui and his family didn't say a word. They hurriedly put on their masks and moved to the side.
Li Rui's aunt wanted to come forward, but was stopped by Li Rui.
"Aunt, just wait in the distance. Let's take a look first."
The eldest aunt's eyes were red with anxiety, "He was fine during the day, how come he has a high fever?"
Li Rui's eldest cousin hurriedly pulled his mother away, "Mom, please don't cause trouble for Su Yin. With Doctor Li here, Dad will be fine."
Uncle Li Rui and his family were very frightened.
If their father or father-in-law is really infected, they may also be infected.
It felt like there was a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time and separate their heads from their bodies.
Nan Qi walked up to Nan Jingzhi and whispered, "Young Master, something happened to Li Rui."
Nan Jingzhi stood up and motioned for him to continue.
"Li Rui's uncle has a high fever. Miss Su is bringing Doctor Li over now."
Nan Jingzhi stood up and was about to walk over there, but he stopped just after taking a step.
"You should always pay attention to the developments over there and report any situation in a timely manner."
"yes."
Nan Jingzhi turned his head to look at Nan Liu, "Go check on the other people in the team to see if anyone is feeling unwell."
Nan Liu also knew the urgency of the situation and immediately got up to do it.
Next to the fire, Li Rui's uncle was leaning against a tree trunk. In the light of the fire, one could clearly see the sweat oozing from his forehead. He was weak, with his eyes half closed, and he had little energy to talk to anyone.
This symptom is somewhat worrying.
Doctor Li felt the patient's pulse, frowning all the time, "Open your mouth."
Uncle Li Rui opened his mouth weakly, as if it was very difficult for him to open his mouth.
After checking his tongue coating, Li Rui asked anxiously, "How is it?" before Doctor Li could speak.
"Let's go talk aside."
The three of them changed positions.
"Doctor Li, is my uncle infected with the plague?" Li Rui looked worried.
They had finally gotten here, and they saw hope just ahead. If this kind of plague broke out in the team at this time, there would be no way for them to survive.
Doctor Li looked solemn and shook his head.
"It's not a plague?" Li Rui was delighted.
Doctor Li still shook his head.
"Don't talk yet, listen to Doctor Li first." Su Yin interrupted Li Rui in time.
