At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 273
The process of making quicklime is very simple, just throw the natural limestone into the fire and heat it to a certain extent, and the quicklime has a certain sterilizing effect, because the quicklime will produce a violent chemical reaction when it meets water, releasing At the same time, a large amount of heat will be converted into alkaline calcium hydroxide. Most bacteria cannot survive in an alkaline environment, so the purpose of sterilization and disinfection is achieved.

As the saying goes, I have seen pigs running without eating pork, and you can often see footage of "harmless" treatment in the news. First, a large earth pit is dug with an excavator, and then a layer of quicklime is sprinkled into it, and then the The dead swine fever chickens to be "harmlessly treated" were all thrown into the mud pit, and then a layer of quicklime was sprinkled, and finally backfilled and watered thoroughly, it was completely done.

Since Gao Bufan intends to build a ranch here, he must first dispose of the corpses of the Xi people who died of the plague, so that he can build a horse farm here with peace of mind, otherwise these plagued corpses will become a time bomb. Shen will wipe out the entire racecourse.

So the next day, Gao Bufan started to burn quicklime. Gao Shou and Gao Ren were responsible for collecting firewood, while Gao Shixiong brothers helped dig limestone.

Gao Bufan found a relatively low-lying location, excavated and repaired a little, and then built a simple blast furnace with stones, and then started firing.

Burning quicklime requires a lot of fuel. Fortunately, there are a lot of vegetation around here, and it is late autumn and the trees are dry, so it is very convenient to obtain materials, but it also made Gao Shou and Gao Ren tired.

After a full day and night, the first furnace of quicklime was finally fired.Gao Shiheng curiously picked up a piece of cooled quicklime, and when he pinched it lightly, it turned into a puddle of white powder, and asked suspiciously: "Boss Changqing, this thing is nothing special, can it really kill plague ghosts? "

In fact, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chinese had begun to burn quicklime on a large scale, but it was mostly used for construction and antisepsis, such as preserving heads on the battlefield, etc., but there was no concept of sterilization.

Gao Bufan grabbed a handful of stone powder and held it carefully for a while. The quality of this thing is really not good, and he is not sure whether the firing is successful. There is no way, the conditions are too simple, the temperature does not meet the requirements, and the firing fails. It's also normal.

In order to verify whether the firing was successful, Gao Bufan asked Gao Shou to fetch a pot of water, and then threw a large piece of lime into the pot, and saw that the pot of water immediately boiled and released bursts of white mist.

"It's done!" Gao Bufan said happily, Gao Shixiong and the others were also relieved when they saw this, grandma, everyone's hard work for a day and night is not in vain.

It seems that luck was good, and the firing was successful in the first furnace, so everyone took advantage of the temperature in the cellar, and immediately started firing the second furnace. Dozens of corpses need to be disposed of, and at least hundreds of thousands of catties must be burned Lime will do.

quack quack...

Everyone just added new limestone into the furnace, only to hear a few unpleasant calls from the sky, everyone looked up and found that it was two annoying vultures, but the behavior of these two vultures was a bit weird, circling for a while Fu Chong flew up into the sky after a while, screaming shrill and angry.

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "You guys continue to burn fire here, I'll go and have a look." After finishing speaking, he whistled, and the big green horse galloped over like an arrow.

Gao Bufan stretched out his left hand, grasped the saddle and floated on the horse with his strength, and ran towards the hillside, several miles away in an instant, one person and one horse stood on the top of the hillside and looked down, Gao Bufan's expression darkened immediately, and he shouted loudly :"stop!"

At this time, there were three big living people near the car formation at the foot of the hillside. One girl was dressed in white like snow, and the other two were wearing monk's hats and holding crescent shovels. They seemed to be two nuns.

Due to the distance and the lack of frontal faces, Gao Bufan still couldn't see the faces of these three people clearly, but he vaguely felt familiar. At the moment, the two nuns in black monk hats were waving a crescent shovel to drive away those three people. A vulture eating a carcass.

I don't know where these vultures came from. Gao Bufan shot and killed more than a dozen of them the day before yesterday, and seven or eight came here today.

It was none other than Bai Yunshang and Jueyuan Juehui who were beside the car formation at the moment. When the three of them heard the shout, they all turned their heads subconsciously to look up the hillside.

When Bai Yunshang saw Gao Bufan who was stationed on the hillside, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but let out a little surprise.Jue Yuan frowned and said: "Could it be that this son killed these Xi people? It's too vicious and cruel."

Bai Yunshang shook her head and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, these people don't seem to have been killed."

At this time, Gao Bufan on the hillside also recognized the woman in white, and he couldn't help but think that it was a coincidence, and Yu Yaoyao waved.Bai Yunshang smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Gao invited us over, let's go, just ask him what happened." After speaking, he moved lightly with lotus steps and walked up the hillside.

Jueyuan and Juehui looked at each other, put away the shovel and followed behind Bai Yunshang.Seeing the casual look of the three, Gao Bufan couldn't help sweating, and reminded loudly: "Don't touch those corpses!"

Bai Yunshang happened to walk up to a rotting corpse, and when she heard the words, she followed the good advice and walked around from a distance. Jue Yuan and Jue Hui didn't take it seriously, but they were monks after all, so they didn't jump directly over the corpse, but they didn't deliberately either. Avoid, just walk straight past, they have buried hundreds of such corpses at least, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After a while, the three of Bai Yunshang finally reached the hillside. A strange look flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, because at this moment, Bai Yunshang seemed to have changed, not because of his appearance, but because of his temperament. No, it should be Said it was "aura".

The Bai Yunshang I met on the Liaohe River that day was like sitting on a cloud, elusive and unattainable, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva independent of the Three Realms, unattainable, but at this time Bai Yunshang was still smiling, There is compassion in the eyes, but the "aura" has completely changed, there is no urge to make people worship, and the smile is so kind, just like the amiable and approachable big sister next door, people can't help but feel close meaning.

However, Gao Bufan still hardened his heart and shouted: "Stop, don't get any closer!"

Bai Yunshang was visibly startled for a moment, but she still stood still, while Jue Yuan and Jue Hui snorted dissatisfiedly, this kid was too rude.

"It seems that Mr. Gao has a predestined relationship with my Buddha." Bai Yunshang smiled.

Gao Bufan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I just have a relationship with Miss Bai, but I don't want to see you here."

Bai Yunshang wondered: "Why? Could it be that Mr. Gao hates Yunshang?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "Miss Bai is overthinking, I just don't want to meet any living people here, by the way, have you touched the corpses under the hillside just now?"

Seeing Gao Bufan's solemn expression, Bai Yunshang couldn't help being moved, and replied truthfully: "Yunshang and the two senior sisters were about to bury the body, but before it was too late, Mr. Gao appeared."

Gao Bufan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "It's fine if you haven't touched it, come with me, but don't come within one foot of me." After speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked back.

Jue Yuan asked in displeasure when he heard the words: "What kind of mystery is your Excellency trying to play?"

Gao Bufan turned his head and glanced at Jue Yuan, and asked, "Is this Mrs. Bai's senior sister?"

Jue Yuan snorted coldly and said, "So what!"

"Oh, if you don't tell me, I thought you were Miss Bai's disciple. It's a pity that you've read Buddha in vain at such a young age, what a pity!" Angry again, just about to explode, but Gao Bufan's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"The Xi people on the hillside all died of the plague. If the handy shovel in your hand touches a dead body or those vultures, you'd better throw it away."

Jueyuan and Juehui were shocked when they heard the words, and even Bai Yunshang changed his face slightly, and asked quickly, "How did Mr. Gao see it?"

"Believe it or not." Gao Bufan lightly clamped the horse's belly, and ran down the hillside in a flash.

Jueyuan and Juehui couldn't help looking at each other. They not only drove off the vultures with a handy shovel just now, but also touched the corpse on the ground. Do you want to throw it away?
The two hesitated for a moment, but in the end they were still reluctant to throw it away, so they just sprinkled two handfuls of the fragrant medicinal powder on the shovel head.
