Chapter 66 Aftermath
Su was not only very interested in the carriage, he couldn't wait to walk to the door ahead of Su Yuanshan, and raised his hand to open the door.

But as soon as he opened the car door, he was choked by the powder that hit his face and sneezed repeatedly.

"Ah Choo... Ah Choo!"

Su Buwei shook his head in discomfort, quickly closed the car door, returned to the carriage and sat down.

But no matter how quickly the door was closed, some powder still blew in.

The Su family members in the car were caught off guard and choked.

They quickly covered their mouths and noses and put the masks they had worn before on their faces again, and then they felt better.

But after a while, the Su family felt their eyes were dry and itchy again, as if there were dozens of ants crawling on their eyeballs at the same time.

At first, the Su family blinked and could barely bear it.

But not long after, the itching felt like it had legs, running all the way to the back of the eyeballs.

It's so itchy that you can't wait to put your fingers behind your eyeballs and scratch them with your nails several times!
Except for Su Bujing, everyone in the Su family began to rub their eyes vigorously, and they did not stop until their eye sockets were red.

It's so itchy!

"Stop rubbing it with your hands! You may damage your eyes by rubbing them!" Su Bujing's hands tightly grasped the blanket on his legs, blinking constantly to relieve the itch.

However, the effect of Su Bujing's persuasion was minimal.

Everyone nodded and said "No more scratching" and rubbed their eyes vigorously without slowing down at all.

Su Buyou was the most outrageous, he even wanted to gently pick his eyeballs with his nails.

Su Bujing was startled, and quickly grabbed Su Buyou's right hand, "Brother, you are crazy! If you don't have the right people, you will lose your eyes!"

Su Buyou suppressed it so much that his face turned red. He stared at his bloodshot eyes and said with a flat mouth on the verge of tears:
"I didn't want to either! But the more I scratched, the more itchy I became, and I couldn't help it anymore... Why did it happen all of a sudden?"

"I guess some moth powder from outside came in when we just opened the car door, and it happened to be blown into our eyes. Let's clean it with water!"

Su Bujing also endured a lot of suffering.

As she spoke in a trembling voice, she poured hot water from the red clay stove mounted on the corner of the car and poured it on the clean cotton cloth.

Then he handed the clean wet cloth to Su Buyou.

Su Buyou took the cotton cloth and covered his eyes.

The slightly hot and moist touch relieved the itching slightly, and Su Buyou couldn't help but groan out of comfort. Then he carefully wiped away any moth powder that might have stuck to his eyes.

My eyes are no longer itchy!
Seeing Su Buyou's cheerful smile, Su Bujing and others knew that this was indeed useful.

So, they also followed this method one after another and solved the problem of unbearable itching eyes.

"This moth powder is really weird! We stayed outside for so long before, why didn't we feel itchy at that time?" Su Buwei said with lingering fear.

If in that tense and critical moment, they would have to bear the extra bone-eroding itching.

So what's there to resist?You can simply wipe your face clean, surrender and wait for death!
"I don't know. Is it possible that the freshly burned moth powder won't cause itchiness? It will take a while to have this effect?"

Su Buyi touched her chin and answered uncertainly.

Su Bujing rolled his eyes, grabbed a piece of thin cloth, covered it from his head down, and wrapped a thread around his neck to cover his entire face.

Then she reached for a cloth bag containing moth powder, turned her back to her family, and opened it carefully.

Ignoring the anxious cries of the family members around him, Su Bujing buried his hands in the moth powder and waited quietly for a long time.

After a long time, my hands didn't feel itchy at all.

"My hands are not itchy. It seems that this powder can only be used on people's eyes! Let's use it for self-defense! It just so happens that the cornel powder we grinded earlier has been used up."

Hum!If someone breaks into their carriage without authorization in the future, she will use this bag of moth powder to entertain him!
After Su Bujing rinsed his hands, he tied up the bag of moth powder and hung it on the wall of the car for easy access at any time.

The remaining five cloth pockets were all taken into the space by Zhao.In order to prevent eye itching from recurring, the Su family members, at Su Bujing's suggestion, covered their eyes with two layers of light gauze four fingers wide.

In this way, it can prevent moth powder from contacting the eyes without hindering everyone's vision.

Just like that, the Su family got out of the carriage in full gear, wearing masks and gauze over their eyes.

The first thing Su Bujing did when he got out of the car was to clean the moth powder from the long hair of his horse. The moth powder that was shaken off was not wasted and was properly put into the cloth pocket.

As soon as this natural disaster began, animals and plants struggled to adapt to the harsh and changeable environment, and more or less changes occurred.

On the contrary, human beings have fallen behind.

The horse was not too affected by the moth powder and had so much long hair that it nearly obscured its eyes.

Su Bujing took a kitchen knife and helped the horse trim off the excess hair.

Su Buwei on the side looked at him and shouted: "Sister! You can't kill horses!"

Su Bujing:...
-
Under the light of the torch, the tiny moth powder filling the air reflected the faint light and was clearly visible.

The moth powder was floating up and down, and the surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of black and gray gauze.

The crisis caused by the vampire moth swarm is not completely over yet.

Through the gauze, Su Bujing saw the refugees who had gathered together and happily celebrated their survival after the disaster, kneeling on the ground, their faces seemed to be mourning or weeping.

There were traces of water wiping the corners of their eyes, and they looked unharmed.

But if you look carefully, you can see that some people have faint blood stains on their sleeves and fingernails...

Their bloodshot eyes stared blankly into the distance, as if there was something there that attracted them.

Su Buying hurriedly followed their gazes.

But there was only darkness in the distance, without any light.

Su Bujing was silent.

The joy of being born was broken by a sudden accident, and everyone couldn't help but start thinking about how to go on the next journey.

They were already feeling exhausted just after arriving here... They didn't know how long they would have to walk next. Can they persist to their destination?
no one knows…

The dead don't have to think about these problems anymore, but the living have to do their best to survive.

In order to survive, many refugees cheered up, found thinner linings on their bodies, and covered their eyes like the Su family.

Although it was inconvenient to travel in such a hurry, as long as they survived this journey covered with moth powder, they could take off their masks and blindfolds.

Look, isn’t there still hope?

The situation in the future may get better and better!

Maybe they can really settle down in Fuzhou without waiting until the south!
Su Bujing was amused by his whimsical and optimistic thoughts. He simply put aside his heavy thoughts and turned to watch Su Buwei learn to drive.

Driving a car is not difficult. Su Buwei learned it after trying it a few times, and excitedly said that he would drive the car for the rest of the journey.

Su Yuanshan was naturally worried.

They were all blindfolded at the moment, although they could barely see.

But you still need to be cautious when driving under dim torches.

If I were afraid of making a mistake and falling into the black hole created during the previous earthquake, I would really want to cry without tears.

Zhao and others adjusted their mentality and looked calmly as Su Buwei argued with Su Yuanshan unconvinced.

But because their faces were completely covered, it was impossible to tell whether they were smiling or angry.
