Chapter 499 Road back to the city

Chapter 499 Road back to the city

Shen Yuntian and his party are finally back.

At first, he thought it was a bit exaggerated for Xu Tianci to send him back to Yancheng.

But seeing them bundle several bags of food with hemp ropes and then casually carry them on their shoulders, Shen Yuntian swallowed subconsciously.

Although he also boasted of his strength, looking at their postures, he really couldn't compare.

The four people distributed the twenty bags of grain, leaving only two boxes of medicinal materials on the ground.

Shen Yuntian didn't want to lose face, so it was convenient to have one in each hand.

All the way towards the city gate, the ground was covered with snow. It looked like no one had walked around for a long time, and there was a hard crust on the snow.

The five of them walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost tripped over something and fell to the ground several times.

"There's a car over there."

After walking about four miles, a man suddenly walked quickly to the side.

Under the snow is a cart, but now its body has been covered with a layer of ice. It just looks like it is broken.

"Let's see if it can still be used. If it can be used, we can use it."

said another.

Although they could still go on their way carrying things, it was already past noon, and at their current speed, they might not be able to get there until dark.

It's not peaceful here.

After struggling for a long time, the group of people finally pulled the cart out of the icy ground.

Fortunately, it's not broken, and I can still make do with it after tidying it up.

I don’t know when it started to snow again in the sky.

When the snow was supposed to be melting, there was no change in the weather, which made people panic.

There is almost chaos in Yancheng City.

No matter how much they patrolled, the rats would always find a way to hide. Coupled with the rain erosion and snow cover, the five poisonous powder, which was already barely effective, was completely useless.

For a time, there were cries and screams everywhere in the city.

Especially when there are people who are bedridden at home, they are even more confused now.

Liu Jie led his troops in several groups to support them. In just half a day, the streets were filled with rat carcasses, and the disgusting stench became stronger and spread everywhere.

Two men from the Lin family also followed them out of the city lord's mansion. One of them was holding a long knife in his hand, and it looked like an evil spirit was possessed.

Worried about the safety of her family, Nanzhi just called the whole family to gather together, for fear of causing further trouble.

"Now that all the medical clinics in the city are almost empty, where are the herbal medicines that can be used to repel rats..."

Mother Lin was a little anxious and kept pacing back and forth in the yard.

What can we do?

"Old lady, don't worry, you'll be fine." Father Lin was a little dizzy because of her. Knowing that his wife was worried about everyone's safety, he could only comfort her.

There is no perfect path for anyone, and he didn't believe that he would not be able to pass this level.

So many children in the city were sick a few days ago, wouldn't they be fine now?

If you encounter those mice, just kill them and be careful not to get bitten by them...

Sun Cui's month was getting older and the weather was cold, so Nanzhi never let her out of the house since she came to this yard.

"Second sister-in-law, please stay in the house and don't go out."

Sun Cui rubbed her sore waist and looked at Nanzhi's black and blue eyes, feeling a little distressed as well: "Fat girl, it's a good time for you to rest. There are Liu Jie and your brother in the city, so everything will be fine."

I feel sorry for my sister-in-law, who has a big belly and has to worry about things in the city all day long.

It looks like I have lost weight again.

"Yes, Fatty, you have to take a good rest even for the sake of the child in your belly."

Chen Qiulan sat aside and shook her head.

Fatty is really working hard these days.

I just don’t know what’s going on with Shen Wenchen…

"I'm fine." Nanzhi smiled.

She had to help.

"Why haven't Doudou and Maomao come here yet?"

Chen Qiulan frowned as she never saw the children at home.

I had already gone to call for someone just now. Why haven't I seen you back after so long?

Lin Zihan and Lin Jian, who were following the boy, had their heads on fire at the moment.

What to do?

They originally thought that Zhiyu and Xiaomi would be able to return to the city before dinner, so they only needed to help delay during lunch, saying that everyone was studying and practicing calligraphy in the study, and asked the servant to deliver food to the study.

As a result, this person had just been out for two hours and had passed the lunch stage, but now he suddenly came here.

What should they do?

The two and a half young men racked their brains and couldn't come up with a solution. They could only grind and grind along the way, trying to delay as much time as possible.

Shen Zhiyu and Xiaomi were standing at the entrance of the village, waiting for everyone to pack up and return to the city.

The rats in the village have almost been dealt with, and the remaining men in the village can also be dealt with, so those soldiers no longer need to be stationed here.

Although the progress in other villages was slower than here, everyone was able to handle it very well during the days when Shen Wenchen was in coma.

It is enough to leave only about ten more people.

After arranging people to go to various villages to inform them of the return to the city, Shen Wenchen and Chi Sheng began to prepare the things they needed to bring back to the city.

The herbal medicine in the city was almost running out, and there was no effective rat repellent. In the end, it was up to the second boss to come up with a prescription.

"This is a prescription. I have only prepared these few packets of powder these days. I guess you will have to prepare it again after you return to the city."

The second master was also open-minded and gave the prescription as soon as it was given. He was just a little worried about his own medicine.

The medicine they took into the mountains last time was precious, but this time...

Glancing at Yuan Bao beside him, the second master just felt like crying.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want his niece, he has very few snake sloughs in his collection, and now the last one has been dug out by this little girl.

It’s really a leaky cotton-padded jacket!

"Thank you, Second Master."

Shen Wenchen said solemnly: "When the matters in the city are settled, I will definitely ask you for a reward."

There are also rat infestations in other places, but there is only one person like the second master. I am afraid that many places do not have anything that can effectively repel rats. The second master gave the recipe to himself, which means that he is willing to make it public. come out.

This prescription is not worth a thousand dollars.

"No need." The second master waved his hands, wanting Shen Wenchen to slip away the ingot, but he was afraid that Chi Sheng and Ming Qin would beat him up, so he could only say with tears.

"Look at how dead you are." Chi Sheng punched the second master on the shoulder, and then looked at his wife and daughter beside him.

"I'll go and come back quickly. You should pay attention to your safety and wait for me when I come back."

"good."

Ming Qin held Yuan Bao in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Shen Wenchen carried the two children onto the carriage nearby, got on the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

A woman is galloping on a mountain road south of Kyoto. Her snow-white fox fur blends in with the mountain forest, with only a few strands of black hair flying in the cold air.
