Chapter 387: Preventing the Plague in Advance
The Space Spirit said pessimistically: "That's not necessarily true."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "Why? Do you still think someone poisoned you?"
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "Rather than checking the plants, isn't it more reliable to guard against the people of the Northern Snow Country?"
Su Nuan knew that it was always better to be more vigilant. "Okay, I understand, but why do you think checking the plants is useless?"
The space spirit replied, "Look, we're not the first group to come here. Why didn't the people who lived here before get diarrhea in the summer?"
"Could it be that some plant has only grown this year? It just happened to become poisonous in the summer and is causing people to have diarrhea?"
"Also, if it's really a problem with the river, then the people of Northern Snow Country should also be having problems. Have you heard?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "No."
In my previous life, I had never heard of any problems in the Northern Snow Country.
Hailan didn't give up. "Let's take a look. Maybe some plants with fallen leaves or flowers fell into the water during the summer."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go and see."
It is said that there is an antidote within three steps of the poison. If you find the causative plant, there will definitely be an antidote nearby.
It was no use saying anything now. Su Nuan used a scoop net to catch two big crabs and steamed them in the courtyard.
After eating crabs, Su Nuan rested in the space and went out in the morning.
Su Nuan opened the door. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the ground was a little damp. It seemed that it had rained at night.
She called for Feixue to fly first to the riverside and then fly upstream along the river.
I didn’t see anything strange upstream, and there was no medicine that could cause diarrhea.
The space spirit sat on Su Nuan's head. She stared at the waterfall and asked, "Is there something strange growing inside the waterfall?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I don't know either. The waterfall mouth wasn't this big before. It's now torn open by the flood. How about we go in and take a look?"
The space spirit nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."
When Su Nuan flew to the side of the waterfall, she realized that the waterfall, which she thought was very small, was ridiculously large. The water inside was gushing out, and the amount of water was very large.
Fortunately, the water outlet occupies half of the circular waterfall mouth, and the upper half can be flown into.
Feixue was very brave and glided in.
Su Nuan saw a river. Flying a little further inside, he could see water gushing out from the mountain. This was the source.
The space spirit said: "It shouldn't be the problem here."
The water flow is so fast that the medicine cannot be retained and will be washed away quickly.
Su Nuan nodded, "There's no way ahead, let's go out."
After leaving the waterfall, Su Nuan asked Feixue to go around the mountain where the waterfall was.
The terrain behind the mountain is getting higher and higher. The final source of water should be in the highlands, otherwise the flow of the waterfall would not be so fast.
Su Nuan sighed, "We didn't find the source this time. Why don't we just wait and see. Maybe there won't be any plague by then."
"After all, a lot of things have changed since I was reborn."
The space spirit shook his head worriedly, "That's not necessarily true. Many things have different causes and results, but they still happen."
"For example, if Tuantuan hadn't been cured by you, she would definitely have had a scar on her neck."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "You're right, I still have to be on guard."
She asked Feixue to fly back slowly. Su Nuan, who had not eaten breakfast, was not hungry at all at this moment.
She returned to the sky above Sifang City and looked down at the ground.
Instead of continuing to dig the tunnel, those people started to build the city wall, and the speed was not slow.
Su Nuan slapped her thigh fiercely. "Oh, how can such a big city not have a well? Now there is only a well on my homestead. There is no plan for other places. We should mark out the place where we can dig a well before we build a house."
The space spirit nodded. "Well, if we all drink well water and disinfect it from time to time, wouldn't that prevent the plague?"
Su Nuan nodded in agreement and gestured for the flying snow to fall to the ground.
Ling Cang saw Su Nuan coming back. He came to her and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom made some buns."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'm going to eat. I'm going to find some water sources later. If we dig more wells in the city, we don't have to go to the river to fetch water."
"After all, the people from the Northern Snow Country are upstream. If they throw something poisonous into the river, won't we be in trouble?"
Ling Cang smiled and said, "Yes, I'll accompany you."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No need. I found a place where I could dig a well and poked a branch with a vine ring hanging on it."
Ling Cang nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to dig a well when the time comes."
After Su Nuan finished explaining, she ran to the kitchen and grabbed a few buns to eat.
Wild vegetable and egg buns. When Su Nuan saw the eggs, she thought of hatching chicks.
She found Xue, who was making clothes in the yard, and asked, "Mom, do you want to raise chickens?"
Xue looked up at her and asked, "You want to catch a pheasant?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "There are pheasant eggs on the mountain. I was thinking of catching some pheasants and checking the eggs. Can we then hatch chicks ourselves?"
Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "Yes, you can hatch chicks without a hen, but I don't know how to do it. Your grandmother does."
The old lady came out of the house, the sole of her shoe still in her hand. "What's the matter?"
Su Nuan repeated it again, then asked, "Grandma can hatch eggs?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, it's just about controlling the temperature. When I was little, I looked forward to hatching chicks. If there were any that were not fully hatched, I would put them in the charcoal fire to stew until they were cooked. They are a rare delicacy."
Su Nuan couldn't accept it, but she didn't say much.
"Then I'll go find some eggs and stop catching the pheasants. I'll let them lay more eggs."
The old lady nodded. "Well, the chickens stop laying eggs during the dog days of summer, so now is the perfect time."
Su Nuan had a new task, which was to look for water in the city after eating the buns.
The space spirit said: "Although the water source is not as good as your home, it is not bad either."
It was already afternoon when they found the water source, and Su Nuan rode Feixue away again.
Ling Yun watched Su Nuan fly away, he sighed, full of envy.
Zhao Zhenzhu suddenly appeared in front of him, "Brother Yun."
Ling Yun shuddered and got goosebumps when he heard the sound.
He just didn't understand why these women couldn't speak nicely like Su Nuan, but had to speak in a pinched voice, acting like a weirdo.
Zhao Zhenzhu raised the bamboo basket in her hand and said as if presenting a treasure, "I dug up a lot of wild vegetables today, and also found pheasant eggs. I made some pancakes. Brother Yun, please try some."
After saying that, she opened the lid of the bamboo basket, revealing the black cakes.
Ling Yun used to eat white flour, wild vegetable and egg buns, but now he had no appetite at all when he saw this black wild vegetable pancake.
He quickly stepped back, frowned, and said, "I want to work, not eat your bread."
Zhao Zhenzhu bit her lip and said tearfully, "Did I do anything wrong? Brother Yun hates me so much that I couldn't bear to eat a single bite of this pancake. I gave it all to Brother Yun."
"I'm not like Su Nuan, who runs around outside all day and doesn't know how to take care of the people at home."
"Brother Yun, just try it. I'll feel bad for you if you work while hungry."
