Episode 93: Corpse Poison
Ji Xiamo and Bai Erb followed the bud boy who led the way to the disaster area in the north of the city, the bud boy was young, Ji Xiamo was afraid that he would be infected with the plague, so he sent him home.
Although he had made preparations before coming and simulated it in his heart, when he entered this area, Ji Xiamo still couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.
In the dilapidated and desolate streets and courtyards, the refugees lay on the ground in rags, their faces were sallow and thin, and the flies were infested, and the women were holding their dying children, their eyes full of despair and helplessness, and the resentment that could not be suppressed.
Ji Xiamo and Bai Zan who were neatly dressed attracted the attention of the surroundings, and their numb expressions and empty eyes made Ji Xiamo's heart sour.
"Bang!" The man dragging the weak body fell down on the road, there was no sound for a while, and the people on all sides looked indifferently, and Mu Ran's expression seemed to have long been commonplace.
Ji Xiamo and Bai Erb glanced at each other, walked over quickly, Bai Erb helped the person up, and Ji Xiamo furrowed his brows. The man's skin was bruised, his body was cold, and he couldn't breathe. But what puzzled Ji Xia Mo was that the man had only fallen for a moment, but the bruised corpse was covered with corpse spots.
"Kid!" A terrible scream came, Ji Xiamo looked back, and saw the woman crying miserably with her young son in her arms, her facial features were hideous, and a pair of rough hands were rubbing her young son's already cold skin like crazy.
Ji Xiamo walked over quickly, reaching out to touch the young son, but was pushed away by the woman. Bai Erbium dodged and landed behind Ji Xia Mo, caught Ji Xia Mo's stumbling body, and his dark pupils swept towards the woman, sharp and cold.
The woman hugged her young son tightly, staring at Ji Xiamo with red eyes, like a female beast guarding her cubs.
He who is a mother is strong for the son. Looking at the negative resentment that overflowed from the woman's body, Ji Xiamo secretly shook his head. Signaling Bai Erbium to rest assured, Ji Xia Mo squatted down opposite the woman and looked at the woman at eye level, trying to soften her voice as much as possible. "I'm here for this plague, and if you believe me, can you let me help you look at your child?"
The woman stared at Ji Xiamo with red eyes and was silent, and Ji Xiamo looked at her calmly. I don't know how long it took, the woman who was originally as crazy as a female beast began to calm down, looked at Ji Xia Mo for a long time, and slowly let go of the arm holding her young son.
Ji Xiamo took the child in the woman's arms and carefully checked the young son. With bruised skin, cold temperature, and corpse spots all over the place, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ji Xia Mo would have almost determined that this child had been dead for a long time.
It stands to reason that people will not appear corpse spots for a short time after they stop breathing, what is this plague? Ji Xia Mo frowned, and his expression was solemn and heavy.
The woman held Ji Xiamo's hand, and her chaotic eyes were full of anticipation. Ji Xiamo's nose was sour, and he buried his head silently.
"Mine, my child......" The woman trembled and stroked the child's face, breathing in a big gulp of air, and Ji Xiamo, who was crying and crying, felt uncomfortable.
"Ahh Yes!! The sudden scream made Ji Xia Mo jump, and a gray-haired old woman ran out of the alley in a frenzy, knelt on the ground, and hit her head on the ground in a frenzy.
"Oh my God! Open your eyes! Don't let people live, it's better to be a human than a beast, why don't you let me be a pig and dog, you can't see it, you can't see it......" The bloody forehead spent the whole face, and the old woman convulsed and fell to the ground with her mouth wide open, like a dying fish.
Bai Erb clenched the sword in his hand and silently took Ji Xia Mo into his arms, blocking his sight. Ji Xiamo clutched Ji Xiamo's collar with both hands, his gums clenched, and the faint blood spread.
Ji Xiamo walked around a few more streets, saw some refugees who were infected with the plague in different ways, and compared them with the plagues he knew, but none of them were similar. Ji Xiamo's heart became heavier and heavier, if this was a new type of plague, not to mention that there was no equipment for him to study here, even if he had it, the current disaster in Chenzhou would not leave him much time.
When checking the disaster, Ji Xiamo and Bai Erb found several traces of surveillance, and Bai Erb wanted to remove them, but was stopped by Ji Xiamo. I am afraid that the news of their coming here has already fallen into the ears of Zhu Yusheng, and the two sides have been frozen, although they are not friends, they are not enemies. If Bai Erb kills someone, I am afraid that the next few people will be struggling in Chenzhou.
was watched, Ji Xiamo didn't have the heart to investigate, so he left the disaster area with Bai Erbium.
Back in the small courtyard where he was temporarily sheltering, Fang Lin Jun had already come back early and waited. Holding a plate of grapes of obvious unknown origin to eat, Ji Xiamo, who smelled of a corpse, was unhappy to block the road and rob, Fang Lin Jun rolled up his sleeves to get started, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Bai Erbium.
Ji Xiamo, the landlord of the old wealth, enjoyed the feeding of Bai Erbium with peace of mind, and raised his chin arrogantly at Fang Lin Jun. "How?"
Fang Lin Jun snorted and sat down opposite Ji Xiamo angrily. "I got some medicine back, and Ye Yi has already taken it to boil. As for the prefect! His ancestors'! It's really not a thing, if it weren't for Xiaosheng's good self-control, I would have been willing to chop him alive. ”
Fang Lin Jun's anger exploded, and Ji Xiamo raised his eyebrows and shook Bai Erbium's hand to feed. "What's going on?"
"Zhu Yusheng's mansion was built in Nanjie, where the crowd is bustling, and it is no different from a normal town, if I hadn't seen it beforehand, I would have thought that it would be just a bad nightmare." Fang Lin Jun sneered. "South Street is inhabited by some dignitaries, and the most important ones are wealthy businessmen. There is a green building called Luo Wu, thirteen stories high, Zhu Yusheng and those dignitaries and dignitaries are singing in it every night, drunk and dreaming of death, and living more than a fairy. ”
"Anything else?" Ji Xiamo's expression was indifferent.
"Then Zhu Yusheng is a fucking bastard!" Fang Lin Jun slammed his fist on the table, his eyes burning with anger. "Zhu Yusheng has been an official in Chenzhou for more than four years, and he has done all kinds of evil to loot the people's fat and ointment, hurt people's lives, and rob people's daughters. Eighteen wives and concubines in his house, ninety percent of which he seized back. And, and he'......"
Not just talking about what was difficult, Fang Lin Jun's face was ugly, and the 'click' of his two hands made a sound.
Ji Xia Mo was expressionless, "continued." ”
"He's a pervert." Fang Lin Jun gritted his teeth, and his face was embarrassed in addition to anger. "He likes to use some means in his room, in his room/matter, because the girls who were tortured and died by him are far more than the wives and concubines in his house."
"Click!" The cup in Ji Xiamo's hand cracked, and in the depths of the scarlet blood, a little plum blossom fell on the dark table.
Bai Erbium's pupils tightened, he took Ji Xiamo's hand and broke his fingers apart, carefully picked out the porcelain piece in his palm for him, and looked at the dazzling scarlet, his brows furrowed.
Ji Xia Mo let Bai Erb deal with his wounds, his eyes condensed on Fang Lin Jun. "Anything else?"
"For the time being, that's all for the time being." Xu is Ji Xia Mo's gaze was too scary, and Fang Lin Jun's back was a little cold.
Ji Xia Mo looked at the palm in his hand and was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet and a little weird. Ye Yi walked out of the house, and Ji Xiamo withdrew the bandaged hand from Bai Erbium's hand and greeted him. "How's he doing?"
"I've already drunk the medicine, as long as I can get rid of the fever." Ye Xiang walked over calmly and knelt down on one knee. "Thank you 1
Ye Yi's kneeling made Fang Lin Jun a little stunned, and only after half a sound did he snort coldly, and turned his face angrily, "I've been waiting all the way, and I haven't waited for you to repay the favor, if you die at this time, won't Xiaosheng die." ”
Ye looked at the three people in the house, "The grace of saving lives, go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Ji Xiamo's gaze stayed in the back room for a moment, and then turned to look at Ye Yi, "Did you hear our conversation just now?" ”
"Yes." Ye Yi bowed slightly, his hand holding the scabbard was tense, and his dark pupils were burning with anger, as if he was enduring the killing.
"I went with Bai Erb to the victims." Ji Xiamo calmly told what he saw and heard when the victims went. Fang Lin Jun jumped like thunder, Ye Yi's face was even more blue, and the anger of these two people almost burned the roof.
"I'm going to go to South Street that Xiao Lin said." Ji Xia Mo said. "I can't figure out the cause of the plague, but staying here doesn't help. In order to solve the plague, doctors, medicinal herbs are indispensable. Moreover, I want to find the evidence of Zhu Yusheng's crime, as well as the backers behind it, and then report it directly to the emperor. ”
"Who the hell are you?" Ye Yi stared at Ji Xiamo, his eyes were like torches.
Ji Xia Mo smiled, "Beijing, Ji Xia Mo, the chief son of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Ye Yi was stunned. "You are the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" When he first heard Ji Xiamo's name, he only felt familiar, but now he remembered that the name of the prime minister's mansion was not Ji Xiamo?
Ignoring Ye Yi's shock, Ji Xiamo's inquiring gaze swept towards Fang Lin Jun and Bai Zhan. Bai Zhi nodded slightly, but his eyes remained on Ji Xiamo's injured hand.
"Go!" Fang Lin Jun clenched his fists. "That turtle grandson, see if Xiaosheng didn't kill him with his own hands."
Because of the master's injury, Ye Yi paused for a moment, but still nodded in agreement. There is no real safe place in Chenzhou, and they are being hunted down. Instead of being alone, it is better to follow everyone, and even if you encounter danger, you can take care of each other.
Late at night, Ji Xiamo opened his eyes and glanced at Bai Erbium who was sleeping beside him, afraid of waking people up, so he carefully avoided his body and quietly left the courtyard.
Bai Erb opened his eyes, stared at Ji Xiamo's back with dark eyes, and turned to look at the sky with dark clouds, and only closed his eyes for a long time.
Ji Xiamo left the courtyard, making sure that he would not disturb the people inside, so he looked in front of him. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Yin Li appeared in front of Ji Xiamo out of thin air, she had always been out of tune, but at this time, her face was full of solemnity, "Childe, don't stay here longer, I hope that Childe will listen to my advice and leave quickly." ”
Ji Xiamo raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Li thoughtfully. "Why?"
Yin Li's brows furrowed, as if he was nervous about something. Unable to hear an answer for a long time, Ji Xiamo yawned lazily and turned around to leave.
"Childe!" Yin Li dodged in front of Ji Xiamo, his face was rare anxious.
"Yin Li, I want to know the reason." Ji Xiamo's expression was calm
Yin Li clenched his fists, "Childe!" The people of this city did not receive the usual plague, but the poison of the corpses. ”
The ease on Ji Xiamo's face disappeared, and it was replaced by solemnity. Yin Li sighed, "Childe, the plague in the city is definitely not a natural disaster, but *." This corpse poison is artificially refined, and he can refine such a vicious corpse poison, and Childe is not his opponent. ”
Ji Xiamo looked at Yin Li for a long time, and nodded lightly, "I know." ”
"Childe!"
"Yin Li, I'm human." Ji Xiamo smiled gently. "Although I am not a good person, I also have seven emotions and six desires, and I turn a blind eye to the dry bones in the city, and my conscience is difficult in this life."
"Knowing that you can't do it, when did Childe become so stupid!" Yin Li was annoyed.
Seeing that Yin Li was annoyed, Ji Xia Mo smiled and said nothing, Yin Li stomped his foot angrily, turned around and melted into the darkness. Ji Xiamo scratched his head helplessly, "Don't run far, if you get lost, the master won't go to you." ”
Stretching his waist, Ji Xiamo walked towards the courtyard with a smile, and a white shadow cut through the night and fell on the tree behind Ji Xiamo.
"Uncle Lou, you're also here to persuade me to leave?" Ji Xia Mo has a hippie smile.
Lou Yin's shining silver eyes stared at Ji Xia Mo for a long time, and his cold voice froze the darkness around him. "Don't fall in love with that person."
Ji Xiamo's smile froze, Lou Yin did not name him, but Ji Xiamo intuitively understood who the person in Lou Yin's mouth was.
"He's not a good man, and you're not going to end well."
