Awan's face turned pale from vomiting. She vaguely heard Fang Zilan's words, so she suppressed her nausea and moved behind her step by step, asking: "What do you mean when you say it's all a lie?"
"The corpses at the bottom are all covered with stab wounds." Fang Zilan's voice trembled slightly, "It seems that the wounds were not caused by someone who was accustomed to using knives. We can basically rule out the possibility that they were robbed by bandits."
Awan didn't dare to look, so he hid behind her and asked, "Is the knife wound fatal?"
"It's hard to say for sure, but we can't rule out the possibility of death from excessive blood loss." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand to Awan and said, "Anthelmintics."
"Do you really want to go down there to find someone?" Awan's words were out of tune, and the sudden pitch of her voice made a group of birds flutter away in shock.
Fang Zilan looked back at her, without any intention of taking back her hand, "Do you have a better way?"
"I..." Awan bit her lip, "Even if some of the people here died unexpectedly, most of them died of the plague. If you go down to find people so rashly, what if..."
"I'm not afraid of what might happen." Fang Zilan said as she put on her gloves. "I'm just afraid that if I can't find Miss Yan'er, I'll feel uneasy in my life."
Awan took out a large bag of medicinal powder from the package, "Fortunately, I was prepared. I have a lot of deworming medicine."
"How effective is the medicine?" Fang Zilan took it smoothly, and Awan helped hold it under the pocket. "I'm afraid of insects, so the anthelmintic medicine I made is certainly powerful. Bugs will die if they touch them, and a layer of skin will fall off if a person touches them."
"Then I'll be relieved." Fang Zilan picked up his pocket, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is it so heavy?"
"Aren't you afraid that you won't have enough?" Awan lowered her head guiltily. Fang Zilan didn't laugh at her for being afraid of insects. She just walked around the mass grave and sprinkled the anthelmintic medicine into it.
After she finished spreading it, even the corpse odor had dissipated. Lin Jian, who was relaxing a little, couldn't help but sigh: "This anthelmintic medicine is so powerful."
Fang Zilan ignored him, but walked aside and picked through a few thick branches.
Awan said while helping her find branches: "Wait for the medicine to dissipate, and then go down again in an hour."
Fang Zilan hummed and found a clean big stone for Awan to sit on. Seeing this, Lin Jian also came over and sat down on the ground.
"Just now when you were spreading the medicine, I thought carefully about the situation on the way to the village, and I always felt that it was weird." A Wan looked at Fang Zilan, "Did you notice it a long time ago, so you interrupted me? talk?"
Hearing this, Lin Jian looked at the two of them in confusion, but did not dare to speak casually. He only heard Fang Zilan nod slightly and said: "Little Awan, why don't you tell me, what do you think is weird?"
"First of all, those empty rooms. I remember you said that there were signs of fighting and dragging. If according to our original guess, it was done by bandits and robbers, and there are indeed deceased people with stab wounds in these mass graves, then what about those houses? There must be bloodstains." Awan said slowly: "But apart from the traces of fighting and dragging, there are no bloodstains in the house. This doesn't make sense."
She frowned slightly as she spoke, "One more thing, the mother and son's home just now not only has a yard, but also has several rooms in the yard, which are much larger than the houses we inspected before. Even if the gangsters and robbers pick people to attack, , why can their mother and son escape this disaster?"
"It really doesn't make sense." Lin Jian agreed: "It was definitely not done by gangsters and robbers. But, Miss Awan, what do you mean by saying that Mr. Fang is making nonsense?"
"That silk handkerchief is not ice silk, nor has it been soaked in agarwood, nor is it a tribute to the palace." Awan said helplessly: "The same goes for that woman. We are all wearing this silk handkerchief, but she didn't even look at it. When I came out, I was deceived in just a few words."
"Miss Awan, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed it either." Lin Jian said humbly, "Then this silk handkerchief can't save your life?"
"Although this silk handkerchief has not been soaked in agarwood, it has been soaked in medicinal herbs, so it is somewhat useful." Fang Zilan wrote lightly: "If I hadn't made such nonsense, I'd probably have to waste more words with that woman."
Awan said to herself casually: "I wonder who that woman is?"
"I know this." Seeing that he finally knew something, Lin Jian said as if taking credit: "She is the sister of the security chief. When I accompanied my brother to Linjia Village before, I met her a few times from a distance, and I still have some impressions of her."
"The Bao Zhang's sister?" Fang Zilan raised an eyebrow, and Lin Jian nodded: "Yes, although Linjia Village is broken, there is still a Bao Zhang at least. That woman is the Bao Zhang's sister, and her man is a farmer, and he usually Help his brother or something."
Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "I see that there are few survivors in the village. Why are they, mother and son among them? As for the other survivors, they don't happen to be the Baozhang's family, right? Could it be said that the plague also targets other people?"
"Which family to choose?" Awan was not angry, "If you can choose someone, how can Uncle Wang..."
She turned her head away before she finished speaking. Fang Zilan sighed quietly and said, "Yes, since you don't know how to choose someone, why is it such a coincidence?"
Lin Jian looked confused, "Maybe it's a coincidence."
"Is it a coincidence? Someone will tell us the answer." Fang Zilan said and walked directly to the mass grave. She tied one end of the rope to the tree and the other end to her waist. She walked slowly down the mass grave while leaning on the branches.
Lin Jian watched her figure sinking little by little, and couldn't help but want to move over to take a look, but he couldn't use any strength in his body and never moved a step. Awan stood up and bravely walked a few steps before her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Jian walked tremblingly to Awan and held her arm, "Miss Awan, let's go back and sit and wait."
Awan did not stand up. Instead, she put her hands on the ground and moved forward a little further. "I think it is always good to be closer to her. If she needs help, I can get there in time."
"Miss Awan, your legs are so weak that you can't stand up. How can you help?" Lin Jian tried to pull her up from the ground, but she threw her away. "Then I will stay here to accompany her."
Lin Jian couldn't resist her, so he had to sit next to her and wait with her.
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them suddenly heard Fang Zilan's voice coming from below, "Awan, Lin Jian, pull the rope."
Hearing the sound, Awan and Lin Jian stood up quickly, walked to the tree, and worked together to pull the rope up.
However, when he saw the body tied at the other end of the rope, Lin Jian's hands shook and he almost let the body fall back again. Fortunately, Fang Zilan jumped out and grabbed the rope with quick eyes and hands.
"Didn't you say you've never seen dead people before?" Fang Zilan said with a calm face, "Lin Jian, get out of the way."
Lin Jian sheepishly walked aside and stayed away. Awan took out a clean cloth from the package and spread it on the open space beside her. She didn't dare to look back and her voice trembled violently, "Is this...Miss Yan'er..."
"Yes." Fang Zilan peeled off her clothes and threw them into the mass grave, then took out a new pair of clothes and put them on, "Miss Yan'er brought medicine with her. Her body had no traces of insects and birds, so the cause of death was It’s also easy to check.”
When Awan heard Fang Zilan's cold voice, she clenched her fists and turned around, looking at the body on the ground. The red marks on her neck were shocking.
She felt dizzy and everything around her seemed to have stopped. She could only hear Fang Zilan gnashing her teeth and saying word by word: "She was strangled to death!"
