We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

After the people dispersed, they all returned to their previous residences to dispose of the bodies. They were quick with their hands and feet, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done such a thing.

"and many more."

Ye Qingran followed them all the way. When he saw them dragging the body to the west, he immediately stopped them.

The people who came to carry the corpse were all men. They looked back at Ye Qingran with some confusion in their eyes, but they still stopped what they were doing.

"Where are you sending these bodies?"

"Of course it's a mass grave. This is how we have dealt with corpses since the disaster began. If we bury them all, I'm afraid there won't be enough for the entire Northern Territory."

They told the truth, their tone was very calm, and they didn't mean to mock her.

Ye Qingran shook his head: "We can't handle corpses like this anymore."

"why?"

"Have you forgotten the plague on the west side? It was caused by the corpses being piled up indiscriminately and not handled properly. If we continue to do this, the plague will never end."

"Then do we have to bury them one by one? With so many people, we can't bury them all."

Ye Qingran said seriously: "Burn, burn all these corpses, including those in mass graves, all must be burned, especially those who died due to the plague, they must be burned."

"What?! This, this...how can this be possible?"

These men were shocked, and their expressions became a little bad.

Looking at their reactions, Ye Qingran remembered that these ancients refused to deal with accidental burials, just to preserve the integrity of the corpse, and in this way they wanted to ensure that the deceased could be reincarnated with their intact souls.

"I understand your concerns, but there is nothing you can do about it. The decay of corpses will cause many problems. It is winter now, and those diseases do not spread so fast. If the temperature gets warmer, I am afraid that the entire northern territory will be engulfed by the plague. Which one? You should know which one is more serious."

These common people can understand what she says, but their long-standing tradition is to bury corpses in the soil. There is no way to throw them into mass graves. When they have the opportunity, they will bury the corpses in the mass graves together with the soil. Getting up can be regarded as a way of burial.

"It doesn't matter. I know it's hard for you to accept cremation for a while. I can let you go back and discuss it before making a decision."

The men looked at each other, discussed in low voices for a few words, nodded and ran to their residence.

Soon, the news that the corpse was to be cremated spread throughout the entire area. Naturally, the majority of people were opposed to it, but there were also some people who were afraid of the plague who supported the cremation, and there was a tendency for both sides to quarrel.

"Everyone, calm down and don't make any noise."

Ye Qingran suppressed their voices, "Now move these corpses to the mass graves first. After I control the plague in the west and transfer all the patients, I will burn the mass graves with fire and go to the mass graves." After that, you can continue to bury me with earth, is that okay?"

After all, the most important thing right now is to isolate the plague, and it doesn't matter what method they use to deal with it in the future.

After saying this, the opposing voices became quieter and they stopped arguing.

Ye Qingran still knew something about the plague after this disaster, so she had prepared preventive potions on the road, and led the women who had free time to make masks, then sprinkled the potions on the masks, and then let Men wearing masks carried the bodies to mass graves.

After they came back from their work, Ye Qingran asked them to add some potion to the water for bathing and washing clothes to prevent them from contracting the plague.

After disposing of the body, they ate something more and then went to rest.

Early the next morning, Chu Qingyun told them that they would start patrolling in separate teams and find ways to fight against the bandits.

After yesterday's thought, the people still had a little trust in the two of them, so they followed suit.

They all had a decent appearance at the beginning. They also cut down trees to make a fence as high as one person, leaving only one or two exits to guard against bandits. They also arranged for people to patrol and watch, and they would immediately blow the whistle and shout if there was any abnormal movement.

Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun rushed to help make some simple weapons in case of emergency.

But as soon as this group of people started to act according to the arrangement, the whistle didn't even pass for a whole morning when the whistle was blown outside.

"The bandits are coming! The bandits are coming!"

Hearing this sound, everyone became alert.

Although Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran had told them what they should do in advance, they had not practiced it yet. In addition, they did not expect these bandits to come so quickly, so they were not prepared at all, and they suddenly panicked.

"Don't panic, everyone. As I said before, everyone retreat and guard the door. As long as you don't let them in, you'll be fine!"

But Chu Qingyun said it too late after all.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man guarding the door was too panicked to take precautions and was hacked to death by the rogue bandits who rushed over.

His blood splashed on the people around him, causing others to panic immediately. No matter how loud Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran shouted, it was of no avail.

If this continues, sooner or later the bandits will rush in and kill them all.

Hoping that these people would not be disappointed, Chu Qingyun stepped forward with his sword and killed the bandits in front of him, blocking the corpses at the door to prevent the bandits from rushing in too quickly.

"If you don't cheer up, you'll all be doomed when all the bandits rush in!"

After he roared like this, the people around him woke up a little and started to fight back.

But they were already at a disadvantage. Although the bandits did not expect them to be on guard, they saw clearly that there were no officers and soldiers on their side, so they rushed in even more excitedly.

The situation on both sides is in sharp contrast.

The common people would be frightened when faced with the killings of rogue bandits, and would suffer from the death of their companions, but rogue bandits would not.

They just rushed in as if there were gold and jewelry inside. Even if the corpse of their companion was at their feet, they would step on it without hesitation.

But fortunately, these fences worked. These bandits could not come in from other places. At least the women, children and old people staying in the middle would be fine.

By the time they got to the back, the men had become numb and had forgotten their fear. They just wanted to kill all these bandits with red eyes, and then finally regained some momentum.

There was no winner or loser in the end. It was just that the bandits were tired and felt that they could not rush in and wanted to give up, so they slowly began to retreat.

After all the bandits left, the remaining villagers breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

The entrance and exit they left after surrounding the fence were now splattered with blood, and they were bright red.

The cold wind blew by, allowing their noses that were accustomed to the smell of blood to smell these disgusting smells again. Many people began to help those around them retching, and some cried directly.
