The struggle history of dressing up as Gone with the Wind

Chapter 69 Epidemic
An hour later, Cao Shi saw that it was noon before he said, "Let's have a rest!"

Guo Xiu wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down, took the gourd Cao Shi handed over, drank the water and sniffed his nose.

"Why is it so smelly?"

Hearing this, Cao Shi stood up and looked into the distance.

"See what?"

Cao Shi didn't answer her question, but knelt down and looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong looked into the distance and raised his eyebrows slightly after a while, then turned to look at them; "Brother Cao, what did you see?"

"I saw a lot of corpses and some people." Cao Shi said slowly with a serious expression and frowning.

"We see the same."

"Brother Wang, it looks like we're in trouble."

"Brother Cao, what did you think of?" Wang Zhong looked at Cao Shixin with a serious expression and asked involuntarily.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Chenglin stood up slowly, his eyes flickered slightly as he looked into the distance.

"Brother Wang, I'm worried that those people in front may have the disease."

Hearing this, Wang Zhong's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and looked at his master.

"If it's as Brother Cao guessed, I'm afraid we will be in trouble."

"No wonder it's so stinky, but there was no outbreak of disease along the way before, so why did it suddenly break out here?" Guo Xiu blocked her nose and looked into the distance, puzzled.

"It's very simple. Those who were alive ate the corpses in the flood." Wang Zhong kindly explained to her.

Guo Xiu hurriedly covered her mouth and retched.

Wang Zhong glanced at Guo Xiu, then looked at Cao Shi with some embarrassment.

"Brother Cao, what should we do now?"

Cao Shi looked into the distance and thought for a moment; "The best way is to avoid those people in front as much as possible."

"It may not be easy to avoid those people. There are hills all around here. If we are not good, we may hit the hills, and those people may not let us go easily."

"That's what I'm worried about, but it's the only way we can do it. Fortunately, the bamboo pole in my hand is long enough. It's not impossible for us to cross the river by feeling the stones, but..."

"I understand what Brother Cao means. Only by working together can we escape and ascend to heaven. I will try my best to block those people so that you don't have to worry about it."

"Those people probably haven't found us yet. The best way is to drive at night so that we have a better chance."

"You're right, then let's stay here until it gets dark before we go on our way." Wang Zhong said as he picked up a log and plunged it into the water forcefully. While blocking the door, he grabbed the bathtub.

Cao Shi directly inserted the bamboo pole between the two door panels, so that the door panels would not move.

Listening to their conversation, Wang Rouhua knew that there might be a plague breaking out ahead. Following the example of the two of them, she inserted a log into the water to block the door, and hugged her son tightly, her eyes slowly turning red.

Cao Shi took out a steamed bun from the basket and handed it to the woman; "After the break, let's go on our way at night."

"I can't eat it, you can eat it!" Guo Xiu shook her head and took a few sips of water to suppress the nausea in her heart.

Cao Shi looked at the pale woman, and stuffed the steamed bun into her hand.

"You'd better get used to all this earlier, eat, and you will have the strength to escape when you are full."

Guo Xiu held the steamed bun and watched the man eat slowly.

Cao Shi looked at Guo Xiu who was sipping steamed buns, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
