Chapter 85 Poisonous Springs and Miasma

Bashu is dangerous, the road is difficult, Li Qing didn't have an intuitive feeling before, but now, he feels what is called natural danger.

There are mountains and mountains everywhere, and the roars of wild beasts are everywhere, and the screams from time to time make people's hearts palpitate.

What troubled Li Qing the most was that the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that sprang out from time to time at that time had just entered Taibai Mountain within two days, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army had already accidentally died in the mouths of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.

Li Qing and Qing looked at the purple mist in front of them, and both of them frowned, miasma.

Miasma is a peculiar poisonous gas, it is a kind of poisonous gas that can easily cause death formed by animal carrion and the unique climate of the south, this miasma is divided into many kinds, and the miasma in front of Li Qing is a relatively common miasma, called poisonous insect miasma.

The rotting carcasses of animals breed poisonous insects, which parasitize the carrion and cause the poisonous insects to attack when a life comes close.

Qing is very experienced in dealing with this poisonous miasma, Qing said: "These poisonous insects are afraid of the cold, so they will fall into a deep sleep at midnight, and when the miasma will naturally disappear, we can take advantage of the night to cross this path." ”

Li Qing frowned, the area covered by this miasma is enough for ten miles, once there is a slight mistake, it will wake up the poisonous insects at that time, but it will be troublesome.

Li Qing asked, "Are you sure?" It really doesn't work, so let's go around it. ”

Qing shook his head, pointed to the southeast direction and said: "Over there, it is an endless swamp, it will be very dangerous if we go around there, and the southwest direction is a high mountain, if we go over the mountain, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous." ”

Seeing that Qing said this, Li Qing had no other way but to order the soldiers to retreat for the time being, stay away from the miasma, and then bury the pot to make food, prepare to eat and wait for dark, and then feel the darkness through the miasma.

"What a sweet mountain spring."

A soldier of the Qin army carried a pot to catch water, and when he saw that the mountain spring was crystal clear, he couldn't help but hold the spring water in his hand and drank a few sips.

"Hiccup~"

The Qin soldiers drank a few sips of spring water, then made a pot of water and walked towards the place where the Qin army was cooking.

Li Qing felt a little thirsty, and when he saw a few soldiers coming over with water, he asked them about the source of water.

The soldiers of the Qin army hurriedly pointed to the direction of the mountain spring, so Li Qing and Qing walked towards the mountain spring.

"What a clear spring."

Looking at the mirror-like water surface, Li Qing's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but lean over and prepare to hold the water to drink.

"No, there is a problem with the water, you can't drink it."

Seeing that Li Qing was about to put the water in his mouth, Qing's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly drank Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at Qing with a blank face, and Qing hurriedly said: "Look, the water surface is crystal clear, but there is not even a small fish, which means that there is definitely something wrong with this water." ”

Li Qing patted his head, no wonder he felt something wrong just now, it turned out that the water was too quiet.

"Oh no, those soldiers just fetched water and went back, we must rush back immediately."

Li Qing suddenly thought that the soldiers had just fetched water here, and his face couldn't help but change, Qing also thought of this, and the two hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran towards the camp.

In the Qin army camp, Fan Cheng held a leather bag, handed it to a soldier with a delicate face, and said: "Miss Ying, you drink saliva first, this place has a harsh climate, and there are insects everywhere, it's really not good, I'll arrange someone to send you back." ”

The little soldier took the water, took two sips, and said, "Hmph, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of, this damn Li Qing, who has been entangled with that woman all day long, hum." ”

When Fan Cheng heard this, his face showed a strange look, this Meng Ying suddenly entered the army, Fan Cheng was scared enough at first, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were very fond of this little sister, if something happened to her in the army, Fan Cheng couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, Meng Ying is not a pampered woman, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and in many ways, she is no worse than ordinary Qin soldiers, so Fan Cheng gradually put her mind at ease.

Huang Er is an ordinary soldier in the Mengjia Army, without a title, he joined the Mengjia Army for only a year, and has no chance to make meritorious contributions, this time he came with Fan Cheng to escort Li Qing, Huang Er was very happy, because, he could see that Li Qing was a big man, and it was better to be with the big man than to fight in the barracks every day.

Huang Er, who had just come back from fetching water, sat on the ground, looking at his busy comrades-in-arms, Huang Er had no intention of helping, the division of labor in the Qin army was clear, Huang Er and several Qin soldiers were responsible for fetching water together, and the others were either hunting, or cooking, or vigilance, and they cooperated with each other, without the general to speak, the soldiers of the Qin army would not do anything outside their duties.

"Second brother, your face ...... What happened to your face? ”

The little dog sitting next to Huang Er suddenly pointed at Huang Er, his face frightened, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Huang Er's face was full of confusion, and he subconsciously touched his face, and he didn't feel anything strange.

The little dog trembled and took out a bronze mirror from his arms and faced Huang Er.

Huang Er's eyes changed from doubt to horror, because Huang Er found that his face had turned jet black.

"Ah~"

Huang Er let out an exclamation and looked at the puppy helplessly.

When Li Qing and the others rushed back to the camp, dozens of people in the Qin army had already turned black because of drinking the spring water, although there were no other symptoms for the time being, but the soldiers of the Qin army who had been recruited were still full of panic.

Fan Cheng ran over from a distance with a panicked face, pulled Li Qing, and said anxiously: "My lord, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Li Qing was a little surprised, a veteran on the battlefield, he shouldn't be so flustered when he encounters this change.

Li Qing soothed: "Captain Fan, don't panic, the soldiers are poisoned, but for now, this poison is not dead, we still have time to find an antidote." ”

Fan Cheng shook his head, pulled Li Qing and walked towards a tent, and said as he walked: "My lord, alas, you can go in and take a look." ”

When he came to the account, Fan Cheng motioned for Li Qing to go in with a wry smile on his face, Li Qing glanced at Fan Cheng suspiciously, lifted the tent, and walked in.

A petite body curled up on the couch, covering its head, and its body kept shaking.

seemed to hear a voice, and a very familiar voice came from the quilt: "Fan Cheng, is it you?" Have you found the antidote? ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Qing's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward quickly, lifted the quilt, and revealed a black and purple face.

"Ah~"

Meng Ying was lifted from the quilt, and when she saw Li Qing, she immediately let out a scream, and at the same time pulled the quilt over and covered her face.

"Ying'er, why are you here, and your face ......"
