Chapter 128: The Source of the Plague
Murong Song was almost certain that the plague was not an accident, but someone had been planning it for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Murong Song asked Yao Xue, their female disciples and male disciples had always been mixed together, and what they had experienced was no different. The only difference is that when they eat, there is a table for male disciples and a table for female disciples, and the men eat with a big grin, as long as there is food and saliva to drink, but this table of female disciples is more squeamish, when they drink the water here, they feel that there is a strange taste, and they think it is not delicious, but they are unwilling to let the people here know, so as not to let others think that they are difficult to serve, so in the end, Yao Xue secretly took the water in the water dream and gave it to the sisters to drink. In the dream of water is the water of the Mi River, sweet and swilly, and the sisters have no opinion, and this matter is over.
Water? Could it be that there is a problem with the water? Murong Song was horrified, if it was a problem with the water, he would have drunk it, but he was fine, but he felt strange when he drank the water, but Lu Ting explained to him that because of the geographical location, the water here has always been like this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Murong Song didn't know that the reason why he was okay was because he had taken a lot of elixirs, and in order to cure diseases and detoxify, he had also tried to test poisons, so his physique was different from ordinary people.
"Sure enough, it's a water problem. Dr. Lu, where does the water you drink come from? Murong Song asked.
"The water used in our clinic comes from the well on the street in front of us, which is hundreds of years old, and where the drinking water of the people in our neighborhood comes from. Any questions? Dr. Lu asked.
"There may have been no problem before, but not necessarily now, maybe the problem is on that well, take me to see that well!" Thinking of this, Murong Song suddenly felt a chill in his back, and hurriedly asked Lu Ting to take him.
When he arrived at the well, Murong Song took a look, the well water was bottomless, but this was not difficult for him, he jumped and jumped down from the well, everyone exclaimed, did this Elder Murong not cure them, and they couldn't think of throwing themselves into the well?
"Don't worry, my Uncle Murong is fine, he just went down to check if there is anything wrong with this well water, and it will come up soon!" Yao Xue explained.
Everyone's hearts were raised, and after a while, Murong Song came up from the well, and after coming up, he shook his head again and again, "This wellhead is sealed!" This well water is no longer drinkable! After saying that, he was well-informed, and he couldn't help but feel violently nauseous.
"Senior Uncle Murong, what's wrong with you?" Yao Xue saw that Murong Song's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"There's a corpse at the bottom of this well, it's rotting!" As soon as Murong Song's words came out, the crowd seemed to explode into a pot, thinking that the water he was with was actually soaked in the corpse's water, they all became violently disgusted, and some people couldn't help but vomit.
Among the female disciples, only Hanyue tasted two sips, some of the others drank and then vomited, and some didn't drink directly, Yao Xue was glad that she went late to take care of the patient when she ate, but what about the meal? Aren't meals also made with water?
"Doctor Lu, ...... that meal," Yao Xue couldn't help but ask.
"We are used to drinking water from the well, but we use the water from the well in our backyard for cooking and laundry, so I wonder if there is a problem with the well water in our home?" Lu Ting asked.
When Yao Xue heard his answer, she felt a little comforted in her heart, there shouldn't be a problem with the well water at home, right?
In any case, the body had to be recovered first, and in order to avoid further commotion, the crowd was evacuated, leaving only a few people.
The body was recovered, and although it had been soaked in water for a long time, the body did not decompose, which is why the smell of the well water was not so strong. Murong Song examined the corpse and dissected his stomach, and sure enough, Murong Song found a huge bug in his stomach, and many small bugs had grown around the big bug, crawling around. Murong Song hurriedly caught the big bug, and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on those small insects, and those small insects began to twist their bodies when they encountered the medicinal powder, and they died after a while, but what Murong Song didn't expect was that as the big insect left the corpse, the small insect died, and the corpse actually began to decay rapidly, and finally turned into a pool of blood, it turned out that this insect was the reason for keeping the corpse from rotting.
"This, isn't this Lao Wang?" Lu Ting recognized the corpse, "He has indeed been dead for more than a month, isn't he buried?" How did it end up in the well? ”
"Lao Wang? Who is Lao Wang? Murong Song asked.
"Lao Wang is an ordinary villager in a nearby village, he died a month ago, his family is very poor, his wife is also dead, there is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old daughter, named Xiao Tao, after he died, his daughter had no money to mourn for him, and sold himself to bury his father, and then it was the housekeeper of Zhangfu who gave him the money to help him bury his father, after this incident, everyone praised the master of Zhangfu as a good man, how can this ......" Lu Ting also felt puzzled.
"Sell yourself to bury your father? So where has Lao Wang's daughter gone now? ”
"Not to mention that the lord of Zhang's mansion is a good man, the lord of Zhang's mansion gave money but didn't let Xiao Tao sell himself, and still let her go home, and then the plague broke out in a few days, and Xiao Tao was also infected with the plague, and she died not long ago, speaking of which, she was still the first batch of people to get the plague, uh."
"It's not surprising, the source of the plague came from her father's corpse, and she first touched the corpse, so it's not strange to be infected with the plague, it's strange not to be infected! Now the question is to find out where this bug came from, and I don't think this bug appeared in Lao Wang's body for no reason, but artificially! Murong Song said what he thought in his heart, this insect is not an ordinary insect, but someone specially cultivated, and with the help of the human body to reproduce, someone first put this insect on Lao Wang's corpse, or he was released before he died, he died because of this It is not known, now the most critical problem is to find out where this insect came from, whether it has been scattered in other places.
In any case, he finally found the reason for the recurrence of his illness, which was a great comfort to Murong Song, he had just doubted his medical skills, and now it seems that there is no problem with his medical skills, it is the opponent who is too cunning, and being able to cure all the people of Xuancheng is what he hopes to do the most now.
Although the body had been found in the well, proving that this was the source of the plague, in order to be sure, Murong Song still sent his disciples to check all the water sources in Xuancheng and made sure that there was really no problem, after all, the people of Xuancheng could no longer withstand the toss, and Murong Song could not allow himself to make another mistake, and he could not cast a shadow on the people of the city because of his carelessness.
