Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Ao Pingchuan didn't understand what happened, but he still called Qi Ming and followed him.

And Xia Bai'an couldn't climb to the top of the mountain completely. Instead, he wanted to mark the points, and suddenly walked along the narrow mountain road ahead. Ao Pingchuan restrained his playful smile, and flew forward to clasp her shoulder: It’s not that easy to go, you’re dying!”

Below is the abyss.

Xia Bai'an was sweating from fear, but the thought in her heart was even more frightening, she grabbed Ao Pingchuan's wrist with her backhand: "If there are no refugees here, will they not be able to go up the mountain, or will they die before going up the mountain? We came out from the west gate. The west gate was cleared by the officers and soldiers. The mountain on this side is slower and easier to climb. On the other side, although it is steep, it is not impossible to climb up. Why did the refugees eat up the south gate? the bark of the tree, and yet not come here?"

There must be a reason!

And Ao Pingchuan's face turned gloomy and cold: "Are you afraid...the source is near here, they didn't manage to climb up the mountain alive to find food..."

"The shrubs here do have bark, and we found fruit yesterday."

Qi Ming also followed, but he was afraid that Xia Bai'an would not know martial arts, so he just fell off the side of the mountain path, tied the rope around his waist, and threw the other side to Ao Pingchuan.

Ao Pingchuan understood, and after he tied his body, he leaned towards Xia Bai'an's waist.

Xia Bai'an was holding onto the stone with both hands, and it was rare that he did not refuse, but his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line. He couldn't help but think of the refugee riot that day, the turbulent hatred in their eyes, and their life-and-death pursuit...

What if they died quietly in the mountains?

Thinking of those fresh lives being infected by corrosion at this moment, Xia Bai'an felt nauseated.

At least in the 21st century, she never expected such a thing to happen.

The three of them walked through this narrow and long mountain road, and after walking for two hours, they came to the other side of the mountain. When they were about to go down the mountain, Xia Bai'an stopped, and suddenly ran towards the mountain forest: "This way. "

Ao Pingchuan and Qi Ming hurriedly followed, and saw Xia Bai'an standing on a cliff, his clenched fists slowly loosening.

The two followed up to have a look, and fell silent.

Under the cliff is a spring of mountain spring water, the clear water keeps falling along the smooth stones, and in it, several corpses that have been soaked without human shape are lying in it, the rotten smell covers the smell of the water source, And the crow even hovered nearby, but did not land for a long time.

Among those rotten smells, there was also a weird smell.

Xia Bai'an narrowed his eyes, turned around and asked Ao Pingchuan: "Can you take me down? Looking at it from a distance, it seems that they only died in a day or so."

"One day!" Qi Ming couldn't help exclaiming, could he die like this in one day?

Xia Bai'an didn't speak, and before she got a diagnosis, she couldn't make random conclusions.

There was sudden silence all around, and after a long time, Ao Pingchuan put his arms around her waist: "Hold on to me."

"Ah."

Xia Bai'an nodded, grabbed his shoulders, and jumped down directly with him, with Qi Ming following closely behind.

When she came to the spring, Xia Bai'an saw several corpses still holding weird-shaped grass in their hands, but the death was extremely miserable. She put on the gloves she had prepared earlier, screened the two of them away, and checked the corpses over and over again.

Qi Ming and Ao Pingchuan stepped aside, waiting silently.

About half an hour later, Xia Bai'an slowly got up: "This is not the root of the infectious disease, but another respiratory disease from outside the capital. The symptom should be thirsty, and the herbs in their hands are not It's not the antidote, but the poisonous weeds in the mountains, they just look similar... I suspect that they misunderstood the herbal medicine, and then their condition worsened, they went to the mountain spring to drink water thirsty, fell ill on the way, and died suddenly."

"It's not a disease, isn't that a good thing?"

"It's not a good thing. The diseases they brought don't belong to the capital city. They died here for a day, but there were other old fabrics next to them. It can be seen that there are many people who died here, but they were all disposed of, but the water source was not cut off. Downstream, there is a high probability that they live on the water of dead bodies and poisonous weeds. This is also... an infectious disease."

Xia Bai'an said, but at least it wasn't the source of infection in the water source, so it was barely a good thing.

She bent over and took out the flesh and blood from the opponent's body, and collected the poisonous weeds and mountain spring water separately, preparing to examine them slowly.

"Burn all the corpses first, otherwise if they are eaten by crows, and the crows return to the village to steal food, it is easy to cause new infections, although the chances are not as great as drinking water directly."

After Xia Bai'an gave her orders, the two of them immediately followed her example, covering their mouths, noses and exposed skin, and moved the corpses to the side, letting the sun dry them before burning them.

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly, an old voice came from the side.

Xia Bai'an turned around, and unexpectedly saw many refugees walking towards them. They were carrying dishes in their hands, and they should be going here to fetch water.She hurriedly got up and explained about the corpse and the disease: "If the corpse is not burned, but just buried, the nearby soil will also be polluted, and the disease will continue."

"Nonsense! It's clear that our family got rich last night and it was fine, but he just came out to drink water last night, why did he die!"

An old woman at the head cried to a dead body, "My fortune, my son, why did you leave so early!"

"Mrs. Zhang, don't cry!" A few tall and burly refugees came over. Although they were a little thinner, they all carried things in their hands and stared at Xia Bai'an coldly. The group of people is a mob, and I am afraid that they are using the reputation of the prince to find a way out for us on the surface, but in fact they want to kill us directly, so that we will never suffer from future troubles!"

Qi Ming's face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "We won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and now we just follow the doctor's order to burn the corpses, so as to avoid multiple infections..."

"Corpse can't be burned! Even if our whole village is moved outside the capital, we still have to follow the old custom of water burial and send them to die in water. How can we burn them!"

"That is, after burning, how will they be reincarnated in the future."

"Give me back my fortune, he will die on the water so that his soul can rest in peace."

Everyone shouted.

Qi Ming drew his sword to frighten them, but he didn't dare to confront them with his sword. Ao Pingchuan watched from behind, then turned his head and pulled Xia Bai'an to his back: "Can this corpse be kept?"

"No!" Xia Bai'an angrily scolded, "Perhaps it is because of the superstition in their village that the villagers are continuously infected with this infectious disease with an incubation period. It is about to be cured, do you always think about reincarnation?"

Ao Pingchuan raised the corners of his lips suddenly: "Okay, you can listen to me, but you have to hold on to me."

"what?"

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, and saw Ao Pingchuan suddenly throw the fire bag in his hand onto the corpse...

There was a flash of light.
