There is nothing strange about the place. If the snake doesn't come close, it's just because there is something in this place that is not conducive to its survival or it doesn't like.
It might be realgar or sulfur, and the cloud scratched my forehead - this place is not a volcanic crater, and there is no hot spring, but it can avoid snakes. There should be a lot of sulfur-containing minerals, maybe from that tomb.
But in fact, realgar or sulfur are not fatal to the snake itself. Even if realgar is directly stuffed into its mouth, it will not cause the death of the snake.
They just hate this pungent smell.
If we really meet head-on, it's best to observe carefully and seize the opportunity to escape.
After all, if she remembers correctly, most wild snakes are protected animals.
"Where is the cotton you mentioned? Take me there."
Yun Tuan unscrewed the kettle and took a sip, then packed his bags and prepared to set off.
【On the sunny side.】
One hour later.
She arrived at a relatively flat piece of land on the sunny side of the mountain. It was quite large. It looked like someone had planted it before, but it had been abandoned for a long time before it became the current chaotic state of barbaric growth.
There is a damaged thatched hut on the southeast side of the cotton field. The roof has collapsed a little, but the supporting walls are still strong.
As usual, Yun Tuan threw the electronic eye over to test - safety.
She followed up in two or two steps, and first struck the wall with a hatchet. There was no chipping or shaking, but another piece of the roof fell off.
Yun Tuan found a few stones as cushions and simply used a hatchet to remove the entire dilapidated roof.
Bang!
A heavy object fell to the ground.
She looked around and saw a highly decomposed head rolling in the middle of the weeds. The climate here is relatively humid, and when the head rolled, some unknown liquid poured out from the eye sockets.
Yun Tuan's eyelids twitched and he stopped what he was doing.
She looked up and down for a while, then ran to the bamboo forest nearby, chopped a few pieces of bamboo, and moved the lower half of the person's body out of the house.
A piece of white silk stained with dust and corpse liquid was tied around the man's neck. Apart from his tongue sticking out, there were no signs of much struggle.
Judging from the skeleton, she should be a woman.
Another person who committed suicide or was committed suicide. If this village is sorted out, they can probably create a miserable world.
"Xiao Xi, can you tell the time of her death?" Yun Tuan said, already looking for treatment options - deep burial will pollute the groundwater, and incineration is the best way.
If Dr. Zhao is good enough, he should start burning corpses in a few days.
[For about half a year, she stayed in a relatively cool and ventilated space. If the anchor hadn't just lifted the roof, she could have carried it until winter.]
"Thank you, you are so helpful."
【You're welcome.】
Yun Tuan went to the wasteland aside, dug some atractylodes, picked mugwort leaves, and mixed them with the cloves bought from the doctor. Sometimes she doubted the settings of the dungeon - these things actually grew on the mountain.
She put on three layers of gloves and reluctantly used a simple bamboo stretcher to drag a certain "senior" whose head was from another family to the fast-flowing river. She cleared a large open space and piled dry branches and leaves on top of the body.
Yun Tuan covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and made a small pile of atractylodes, mugwort leaves and cloves beside him, and burned both piles at the same time.
She glanced at the gloves, coughed slightly, and almost forgot.
"This is the method recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica". When an epidemic is prevalent, burning these Chinese herbal medicines in the room can disinfect the air. After modern medical research, it was found that this method is effective. The incense burning method can indeed kill some pathogens.
It’s a microorganism that causes disease, but I’m burning this thing outside just for some comfort.”
Yun Tuan said that she felt like she was about to split. On the one hand, she was thinking about survival in the wilderness, and on the other hand, she had to be a commentator for the sake of views. The serious atmosphere was gone.
