"I take the liberty of asking, this can kill people, right?" Lu Xiufeng asked with a smile.

Miao Qingfeng was stunned.

"Well, of course. ”

"Haha, just ask casually, don't take it too seriously. Lu Xiufeng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, the latter just smiled, of course he wouldn't take it seriously, they never used this kind of thing to kill people there, it was too rude. Of course, this kind of thing can only be known in the heart, not spoken.

They chase their prey and then keep going deeper into the jungle.

"What does it smell like?" Yang Guanfeng suddenly stopped.

"Taste?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiufeng and Miao Qingfeng also stopped and sniffed carefully.

Very familiar smell, this is the smell of corpses!

The three of them followed the direction from which the smell came from, and then deep in the jungle, found a corpse in the weeds under a tree, a stinking corpse. Although the body has begun to stink, it can be seen that there are two obvious wounds on the body, one on the abdomen and the other on the neck.

"What's going on?"

Three people stepped forward.

"The time of death was about seven days, the fatal wound was in the neck, a severed throat, swift and accurate. Lu Xiufeng said after examining the body.

"Is this the man from your stockade?"

"It's not. Miao Qingfeng said after looking at it carefully.

"If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any other stockades within a hundred miles of this, right?"

"No, our stockade is the only one. ”

"Now, there is another murder case near your stockade, and he obviously did not commit suicide. Lu Xiufeng said.

"We are willing to cooperate with the investigation. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

The sudden appearance of the corpse disrupted all their original arrangements, including Lu Xiufeng and Yang Guanfeng's original plan.

"Sorry, we need to talk it over. ”

Then the two of them went to the side and whispered for a while, but they thought it was a good opportunity, and then the sudden appearance of the corpse, they could have a suitable reason to continue further into the jungle, especially the place pointed out in the news they had received.

"Let's search the neighborhood first and see if we can find any other clues. Lu Xiufeng said to Miao Qingfeng.

"This requires your cooperation, after all, we are not familiar with this place. ”

"Okay. Miao Qingfeng agreed without the slightest hesitation.

They then began to search the jungle, and soon found a dagger with dried blood on it.

"This is the murder weapon!" Lu Xiufeng leaned down and looked carefully at the dagger blade.

"Go on. ”

They continued their search.

"Wait. Miao Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"Try not to go past as much as possible. He looked out at a jungle road ahead.

"Why?"

"There's a poison in there, a terrible kind. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Even the people in our village rarely go in, and there have been people who have even been seriously injured because they strayed into it. ”

"Really?" Lu Xiufeng and Yang Guanfeng glanced at each other after hearing this.

According to the information they got, the place where they conducted the experiment was somewhere in the jungle in front of them, but Miao Qingfeng stopped it at this time, either he was telling the truth, there was indeed something terrible in it, or he was afraid that they would go in and see those things, obviously the latter was more likely.

"Not even you?" Lu Xiufeng said.

"No more. Miao Qingfeng shook his head decisively.

"Well, let's go in and take a look, and if we find anything unusual, we'll go back immediately. Yang Guanfeng thought for a while.

"Isn't it too dangerous?" Lu Xiufeng said.

"It's too dangerous. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"In this case, let's go back to the village first, and I will report the situation here to the patriarch, and then ask him to send people from the village to accompany you and prepare medicine to remove poisonous insects, which will be safer." ”

"Let's go in and have a look?" Yang Guanfeng continued to walk forward after speaking, and Lu Xiufeng followed behind.

"Captain Yang!"

"There's a discovery!" they hadn't gone long before they found a mountain of blood-stained clothes, and the blood stains on it had dried up.

Lu Xiufeng squatted down and looked at it carefully, and then gestured.

"It's not the man who died, it's not the right size, this person is much shorter and thinner than the guy just now, and he's also injured. ”

"See, there's blood on it. Yang Guanfeng found blood stains among the weeds on the ground.

"Be careful. ”

The speed of the three of them slowed down significantly, and they followed the intermittent blood trail, and after walking for a while, the blood trail suddenly stopped, and they were never connected again.

"What's going on?"

"Here, he did a simple bandage, and the blood from the wound would not be low any longer. Yang Guanfeng said, there were still some torn clothes under the trees on the side, and there were blood stains on them.

"Brother Miao, this is the homespun clothes in your village, right?" Lu Xiufeng picked up the tattered clothes and said.

The people in the "Valley of a Thousand Medicines" wore different clothes from the outside, because they had no contact with the outside world, they were basically self-sufficient, eating their own grain and raising livestock, and they wore clothes made of homespun cloth that they had woven themselves, which could not be bought outside, and people outside did not wear clothes made of this cloth.

"Yes, it's the homespun cloth from the stockade. Miao Qingfeng stretched out his hand and tried it.

"The people in your stockade?"

"I'm not sure about that. ”

"Keep looking, shall we?"

They continued to search among the woods, and after a little further they found a mountain with rocks on it.

"What does it smell like?"

"The smell of corpses, the smell of corpses!" Lu Xiufeng said.

"Huh?!" Yang Guanfeng suddenly felt a pain in his calf, and when he looked down, it was a centipede, a centipede more than ten centimeters long, biting his leg, and the black carapace was like steel.

"Not good!" Miao Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise when he saw this, only to see him quickly pull out a dagger from his waist, and then pick the centipede down at once.

"Captain Yang, how are you feeling?"

"It's numb and my head is a little dizzy. ”

"This centipede is highly poisonous. Miao Qingfeng said anxiously.

"Eat this first. He took out a pill from his pocket for Yang Guanfeng to take, then picked it up and walked back.

"We have to hurry back to the stockade, it's going to be trouble if it's late. ”

"Then hurry!" Lu Xiufeng said.

At this point, they could no longer continue with the next plan, so they could only return to the village to heal Yang Guanfeng's injuries first.

Miao Qingfeng's speed was very fast, shuttling in this dense jungle like an agile leopard, Lu Xiufeng followed behind, he was alone, and the other party was still carrying a person, he just barely followed.

"Phew, this guy is a practitioner!" He said secretly, he could see something between the other person's steps.

"Captain Yang, Captain Yang?!" Miao Qingfeng kept calling out to Yang Guanfeng while running quickly.

Yang Guanfeng was directly dizzy at this time, his body was cold, and he began to tremble.

"He's shaking!"

"I know, it's a sign of poisoning. ”

"Can you hurry up, go back and treat him first, and leave me alone. Lu Xiufeng said, he was really anxious and worried about his good friend.

"No, I can't leave you alone in here, it's too dangerous, any poisonous snake, a centipede may kill you, don't worry, I've given him an antidote, which can temporarily suppress the toxin and not spread so quickly." "Miao Qing Fengdao.

They walked rapidly through the dense jungle, and after a while, Lu Xiufeng was already sweating profusely, and he was out of breath, but Miao Qingfeng, who was carrying Yang Guanfeng on his back, was still fast, and his breathing was very even.

Finally, they came to the village, just like the village, he carried Yang Guanfeng on his back non-stop and went straight to the residence of Miao Xihe in the middle of the village.

"Patriarch. ”

"What's the matter!" came out with a different person, the young man who was often with him.

"Captain Yang was poisoned. ”

"Come in!" came the voice of Miao Xihe from inside.

They hurriedly carried Yang Guanfeng into the house.

"Patriarch. ”

"What's going on?"

"Captain Yang was bitten by a centipede. ”

Miao Xihe glanced at the wound, and the place where he was directly bitten was already red, swollen and blue.

"Is it a red-headed centipede?"

"Yes. ”

"Why are you so careless!" Miao Xihe said.

"It's all my fault for not taking good care of them. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Go get the medicine. Miao Xihe said to the young man on the side, the latter quickly brought a small gray-brown mud jar, Miao Xihe took it, and after opening it, it was a blue-black ointment, he directly took a little with his finger and then smeared it on the wound of the sun wind, and then took a little bit and melted it with warm water, and fed him directly.

"Okay, help him go back to rest, and he will be fine in two days. "Miao West River Road.

"Thank you, Miao Patriarch. Lu Xiufeng said.

"Yes, it's a mistaken care of us. "Miao West River Road.

"Well, he won't leave any after-effects, right?"

"No, it won't. Miao Xihe said with a smile, "I haven't solved this poison once." ”
