Chapter 270 Yunhua suddenly came back
A few days passed like this, and the accumulated water outside has slowly receded, leaving only a lot of silt on the ground.
All this mud was washed down from the mountains. When water accumulated here, the mud also settled here.
There are many animal carcasses piled up in the creeks and rivers now. Coupled with the hot weather, the animal carcasses quickly become smelly and rotten.
In order to avoid the foul smell of rotting animal carcasses and to prevent the growth of bacteria that might make people sick, the Taoist priest, Lu Chuan, and Grandpa Zhao began digging pits near their home to bury the animal carcasses as the water slowly receded.
Xu Han stayed at home to take care of Mu'er and prepare three meals a day.
Since the rain stopped, Xu Han's pregnancy reactions have been getting better day by day. In just a few days, it is obvious that some flesh has grown on her face, and she is no longer as skinny as before.
"You're back. Come wash your hands and have an meal." Xu Han said hurriedly when she saw the three of them coming in carrying tools such as shovels and hoes.
"Don't come over. Let's take a shower first and then eat." Lu Chuan said hurriedly when he saw Xu Han preparing to approach.
"What's wrong today? Why do you need to take a shower?" Xu Han asked in confusion.
"It's okay, take Mu'er to eat first, and I'll tell you later." said the Taoist priest.
Then the three of them went straight into the backyard, planning to boil water for a bath.
Seeing this, Xu Han said nothing more and took Mu'er to eat first.
When the three of them came to the front yard again, Xu Han could smell the scent of herbs on them from afar.
"What's going on? Why are they using herbs?" Xu Han was even more puzzled. Could it be that the animal carcasses outside had already rotted? Or what?
"It's nothing. There are children and pregnant women in the family. We should take precautions early to avoid any accidents." Lu Chuan explained.
"That's fine. Is it the animal carcasses outside that have rotted? I smelled the stench from afar when you just came back." Xu Han said again.
"Yes, they hadn't rotted yesterday. It might be because the temperature was high these two days, so the corpses rotted quickly. When we went to deal with the corpses today, we found that many of them were infested with maggots and stunk." The Taoist priest explained.
"Fortunately, we cleaned up the animal carcasses near our home first, otherwise the house would have been so smelly that we wouldn't be able to breathe," said Lu Chuan.
"What's the situation outside now? Are there still many animal carcasses?" Xu Han asked again.
"There are still some, but they are quite far away from us. Those near home have all been checked and dealt with." The Taoist priest said while eating.
I have to say that these people have really good appetites. After seeing so many rotting animal corpses during the day, they can still eat now. Their appetites really are not affected at all. Xu Han has to admire them.
"Then are you still going to bury the bodies? The bodies are already smelly, and it won't be good for your health to deal with them. What if you get infected?" Xu Han said worriedly.
"Well, we're not going. The three of us think so too. We won't go starting tomorrow. Anyway, everything near our home has been cleaned up.
It's hard to predict the spread of the plague, but early prevention is still very useful." Grandpa Zhao said.
"What your Grandpa Zhao said is right. From today on, everyone should be more careful. Try not to use the water outside if possible. Didn't you store a lot of clean water before? Is it enough now?" asked the Taoist priest.
"It's enough. We stored a lot of water in the spring, which is more than enough to get us through this period. The water we stored recently has been used for cooking. Since the heavy rain, we haven't used water from outside for daily drinking or bathing," Xu Han explained.
"That's fine. We still need to be more careful in everything." The Taoist priest felt relieved when he heard Xu Han say that.
"I guess there are people infected outside now. The plague spreads very quickly, and I don't know if Yunyun can handle it." Grandpa Zhao thought of his granddaughter and couldn't help but worry.
"Didn't you give him the prescription for treating the plague before? Don't worry, everything will be fine. They should send news in the next two days." The Taoist priest comforted.
Upon hearing this, Xu Han couldn't help but sigh that she really couldn't compare with the Taoist priest, Grandpa Zhao and the others.
It turned out that when Yunhua and the others came back last time, Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest had already told them what would happen next, and also told them how to solve the problem and even thought of a way out for them.
Although Xu Han has the insights of a modern person, he still cannot compare with those in ancient times. His vision and thoughts are simply incomparable.
"I hope it can be controlled." Grandpa Zhao looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"How about fumigating the house with herbs later?" Xu Han said.
When Grandpa Zhao heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and said, "If Xiaohan hadn't said it, I would have forgotten about it. It's time to fumigate the house.
I'll re-prepare some medicine packs in a bit, and put one on each person, and hang a few more in the room."
"Okay, then I'll go make a few more sachets. This one is simple and quick to make."
After Xu Han finished speaking, everyone started to act separately. Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest went to wash dishes and clean.
After everything was ready, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening. It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Xu Han was awakened by the noise outside.
Just as she was about to go out to take a look, she heard Yunhua's voice. Xu Han was confused and thought she had heard it wrongly.
When I walked into the yard and took a look, it was indeed Yunhua. I looked around again, but did not see Zhao Yunyun.
"Yunhua, why are you back? Where's Yunyun?" Xu Han asked nervously when she couldn't see Zhao Yunyun.
"Don't worry, Yunyun is fine and someone is taking care of her. I came back to let everyone know that I'm safe and to bring something to Master." Yunhua said with a smile when he saw Xu Han coming out.
When Xu Han heard Yunhua say this, she felt relieved.
"Have you eaten? Let's eat first." Xu Han asked again.
"Yes, the meal is freshly prepared. You must be hungry after traveling for such a long time. Let's talk while we eat." Grandpa Zhao greeted.
After Yunhua finished breakfast, he began to slowly tell everyone about what had happened in the past year.
"Many places were affected by the heavy rain this time. Not only the north was severely affected, but the south was also affected.
Due to the drought, there are no people living in the north. Generally speaking, apart from the losses in houses, other casualties and food losses can be ignored.
But the situation in the south was different. The group of people who fled to the south had just settled down when they were hit by floods again.
