Chapter 240: Poison Saint Impermanence
However, it takes three hours to row to the opposite shore from the South Pier, and less than an hour to row from the Pioneer Camp to the opposite shore. In other words, this is the narrowest place in the upper reaches www.biquge.info of the Fengli River.
There are many villages in the vicinity of the pioneer camp, and they often need to go to the other side to do business, and some people have families in Dongli country. Dafeng and Dongli have always had a good relationship, not only friendly trade, but also did not prohibit the people from intermingling with each other. Even if the pioneer camp was built here, it did not prevent any ships from passing through here, and the precautions were not tight. So, there were so many fishing boats last night, but they didn't attract the attention of the sentry.
After last night's lesson, Zhou Chengkuan has intensified his patrols in the vicinity, and has also added a lot of secret posts, and even the nearby villagers have also explained that if they encounter any suspicious people and things, they must report to the officers and men of the pioneer battalion as soon as possible.
"Brother Zhang, can you tell me what the weather will be like tomorrow and can you cross the river?" Zhou Chengkuan asked the question he was most concerned about.
Boss Zhang nodded and said, "The weather will be fine tomorrow morning, and there will be some wind and waves in the afternoon, so it's best to start early." My sails have just been repaired, and the hull of the ship has been checked, General Zhou can rest assured that I will send Mr. Su and Miss Wan'er to the other side safely. ”
Zhou Chengkuan nodded and said, "Okay, then there is Brother Lao Zhang, tomorrow, we will wait for you where the boat is parked." There are six of them, and your boat is big enough, I think it should be enough. ”
Boss Zhang patted his chest and said, "My boat is the largest in the vicinity, and there is no problem with a dozen people." ”
Lin Wan thought for a while and asked, "Can I bring a horse?"
Boss Zhang hesitated a little and said in embarrassment: "It's no problem to bring a horse, but most of the horses have never been on a boat, and they will be frightened when they get on the boat, and they will be afraid that they will be out of control." ”
Lin Wan shook his head again and again, and promised: "No, no, my horse is very obedient, and I will definitely not cause you trouble." ”
Boss Zhang thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you can bring the horse." I also carried a guest with a horse a few days ago, and that horse is also really powerful, and he didn't panic at all when he encountered wind and waves, which is really amazing. ”
Lin Wan thought of the Black God of War as soon as he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhou Chengkuan, and saw him smiling and nodding to himself. Lin Wan's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness, a burst of sourness, sweet is longing, and sour is parting.
The meal had been eaten for an hour, and it was almost the hour. Granny Zhang's table had already dispersed, and she took the children back to the room to rest. Uncle Zhang and the Zhang brothers were already a little drunk.
The courtyard was quiet, and the night breeze was mixed with the dark fragrance of osmanthus flowers. There are many osmanthus trees in the village, and even the rice just now is added to the osmanthus flowers, which tastes particularly fragrant.
Although I enjoy this simple life very much, everyone is very willing to drink tea and chat under the moonlight, but I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I finally have to leave.
Farewell to the Zhang family's father and son, Zhou Chengkuan, Su Ziran, and Lin Wan slowly walked back. The sky was too dark, Lin Wan took out the night pearl to illuminate, the col was very quiet, occasionally you could hear one or two dog barks, and a few cicadas.
Walk through the woods and back to the beach. The river breeze blew in the face, carrying the damp moisture, and the river turned black in the night, but shone dazzling white in the moonlight.
Walking on the quiet beach, Su Ziran broke the silence and said with some concern: "Do you know the origin of the poison that Granny Zhang was in?"
Zhou Chengkuan frowned when he heard this, feeling that what Su Ziran was going to say next must not be good news.
Lin Wan asked suspiciously, "Isn't it dysentery, is there anything else special?"
Su Ziran nodded and said seriously: "This is a very contagious dysentery, and there is nothing special about this poison itself. But it is not easy to put this poison on the fish and then pass it on to people, and still maintain such a strong toxicity. ”
When Lin Wan and Zhou Chengkuan heard this, they also thought it was reasonable, and couldn't help but nod.
Su Ziran continued to explain: "This river water is very fluid, and the next bit of poison in the water does not work at all, and I have already seen it, there is no poison in the river water. Therefore, they must have beaten these fish first, poisoned them, and then threw them back into the river. ”
Lin Wan nodded, and asked again, "Brother Su, I just saw you go to the kitchen to see those dead fish, did you find anything?"
Su Ziran smiled slightly, and said, "Those fish were poisoned by another kind of poison, and the meat of that poisoned fish was very tender, and it looked very fresh, so so many villagers couldn't help but burn them to eat." ”
Zhou Chengkuan interjected and asked, "Do you recognize the origin of those poisons?"
Su Ziran took a breath and said, "There is only one person who can make such a fine poison and poison it with such a clever technique. ”
Lin Wan was confused when she heard this, and seeing that Zhou Chengkuan seemed to know who it was, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Chengkuan, do you also know this person?"
Zhou Chengkuan's expression was solemn, he nodded, and said, "Poison Saint Zhu Wuchang." ”
Lin Wan suddenly remembered which miscellaneous book he had seen that the poison saint Zhu Wuchang was good at making and using drugs, and regarded poisoning as an art, always pursuing perfection. His greatest hobby in life was to make all kinds of unexpected poisons, and this man was so erratic that no one had seen or heard of him for many years.
Zhu Wuchang's biggest opponent is the Healer, he often deliberately poisons some people, and then lets those people go to the Healer for treatment. After all these years, the medical saint disappeared, and he fell silent. So, could it be that he appeared here this time because the disciples of the Medical Saint also appeared here?
If the poison this time is really Zhu Wuchang's, then at least it proves that Zhu Wuchang and Li Xingyu are connected. With Zhu Wu's ability to use poison, can he solve the poison in Li Xingyu?
Thinking of this, Lin Wan couldn't wait to fly over the Fengli River immediately, rush to Qicheng, find Zhou Tianqi, and see him safe and sound, so he could rest assured.
Looking at the black river in front of her, Lin Wan remembered the black ocean that always appeared in her dreams, which always made her unable to breathe and unable to struggle.
"Let's go, let's go back to the camp, it's cold. Zhou Chengkuan's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Wan nodded, walked back silently, and suddenly felt that the sky was indeed very cold, and couldn't help but wrap his arms around himself.
Zhou Chengkuan walked slowly behind Lin Wan, hoping to use his body to block part of the cold wind blowing on the river.
Su Ziran looked at Zhou Chengkuan and Lin Wan curiously, not understanding why Lin Wan suddenly became so fragile and sad. Obviously, Zhou Chengkuan knew the reason, so he didn't say anything, just silently guarded this mysterious woman. (To be continued.) )
