Chapter 85 [The Cruel Truth]

Listening to the old man's tone, he seemed to know something inside, Li Qingshan hurriedly told the two sisters and Wang Liu not to act rashly, and he walked over to ask carefully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man's surname was Qiu, he was in a hurry, obviously in a hurry, he shook his head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Qingshan.

Seeing that this baby didn't look like a bad person, and the politeness was not bad, Qiu Laohan said a few words patiently.

It turned out that Qiu Laohan was a farmer in Lianggouziyi, and this dog had been haunting the Lianggouziyi area, and it was said that it had bitten two people to death, which made the locals panic and seriously affected their daily life.

In the past two days, the dog suddenly disappeared, and finally stopped making trouble, and the locals thought that this scourge had finally been killed by a hero who did good deeds without leaving a name, and they were so happy that they ran to tell each other, and they didn't want the dog to die, but they still wandered here.

When the two sisters heard from afar that the dog had actually bitten someone to death, their faces changed slightly, and they also came over together and listened attentively.

Li Qingshan's face was gloomy, and he asked more details about the bitten person, but who knew that this old man Qiu was a little impatient.

He was so old, and he was still in such a hurry with his beard, it was obvious that there was something important, and he waved his hand and was about to leave.

One of the people next to him didn't know whether it was out of kindness or curiosity about the black dog, and reminded him that this young man was Lord Li.

Who knew that Qiu Laohan didn't look back: "What a lord, even the prince is useless, the old man really wants to hurry, let the ......"

The man next to him was helpless, so he had to say again: "He is the young man who invented the use of ladybugs to treat aphids!" ”

Qiu Laohan stopped abruptly and turned his head in surprise.

"Don't lie to the old man!" Qiu Laohan's eyes widened and asked the person who spoke.

The man shouted grievances in his mouth, and several passers-by who knew Li Qingshan around him also testified at this time, Qiu Laohan believed it and looked at Li Qingshan in surprise. It's not in the mouth.

Thinking about it, this old man is also a high-spirited person, the lord and the prince can all be birds, but the babies who help the farmers drum up the seven-star ladybugs can't help the birds.

In Qiu Laohan's opinion, this is a young hero!

Li Qingshan also scratched his head and smiled when he saw that he was judging the two of them. It's really stained with the light of ladybugs.

Qiu Laohan didn't seem to be in a hurry at this time, and seeing that Li Qingshan was curious about the black dog, he hurriedly told everything he knew.

According to him, the person who was bitten at Lianggou Ziyi had early symptoms similar to wind cold, that is, a cold, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first. I just grabbed some medicine as usual and took it.

Then he began to be afraid of water and wind, and occasionally his throat would cramp, he would have difficulty breathing, and even his urine and urine would become a problem.

Later, it was miserable, with squinting eyes, unable to control the eyeballs, jaw dropping, and mouth could not be closed......

The symptoms were a little scary, but they didn't last long.

Counting from the symptoms of wind and cold, he died in less than ten days.

The family thought he had fallen into an evil spirit. Crying is not good. Who knew that after two or three days, there was another person in the local area who died like him. The symptoms were almost identical, and upon careful questioning, I learned that both of them had been bitten by the same big black dog before.

So the villagers paid attention to it, and the two families even went around looking for the vicious dog to seek revenge, but the vicious dog was so terrible that it had already been described as a demon. Once I really found it for them, but not a single person dared to do it.

There is no other reason, fear.

So in the end, the matter was over, and the black dog continued to wander around. It's just that the locals knew how terrible it was, and they fled with their heads in their hands when they saw it from afar, so they didn't hear of anyone suffering from it again.

In the past two days, there has been no trace of it, and some people applauded, as if they had finally sent away the plague god!

After Chen Ruolan and Tang'er heard it, they both felt that this dog was really terrible, but Li Qingshan didn't care about this, what he listened to most seriously was Qiu Laohan's description of the bitten person.

The symptoms that the old man said are all right, rabies can damage the central nervous system, so once the disease occurs, it is impossible to control the body - especially the facial expressions.

The patient's face is hideous and terrifying, and the people around him do not know the truth, and they cannot explain it, so they can only impose explanations with ghosts and gods such as evil spirits, so it will only become more and more terrifying, and where will they think of any virus infection.

Li Qingshan saw through the abnormality of this black dog at a glance just now, perhaps, this is a professional sensitivity.

Normal dogs will definitely not gnaw on wood, but sick dogs with rabies have this strange phenomenon, which is called heterophilia in biology, they will try to eat some strange things, wood, gravel, dirt, etc., which is not normal food anyway.

And their saliva will increase significantly, salivation, photophobia, and prefer to hide in the dark, and the black dog is still hiding in the shade of trees.

The tail will also droop, sandwiched between the two hind limbs, and the real "tail clipped" to be a dog, these Li Qingshan noticed just now, and almost every one of them fits.

As soon as he heard Qiu Laohan say that the bitten person was afraid of water and wind, Li Qingshan's heart was even more certain.

All organisms infected with rabies have very obvious symptoms of hydrophobia, which is the most significant feature of rabies, so this disease is also called hydrophobia.

Since it was confirmed that it was rabies, he had no choice but to sigh when he glanced at the black dog.

In fact, he has always been very fond of dogs, and dogs are very loyal friends to humans.

The town where he grew up is called Red Maple Town, and there are many local dogs in the town, among which there are several dogs, which are obviously the same breed as the dog in front of him, but the size of this dog is really huge in comparison.

When he was in elementary school, the local government introduced a policy of beating dogs and killing dogs, and several dogs in the town who knew him well did not escape, for which he was sad for a while.

Tang'er glanced at the black dog under the tree from a distance, and suddenly felt a little afraid, and asked with big eyes: "Uncle Qiu, since this dog has killed two people for the sake of the township, why doesn't the local government ask?" Shouldn't it be hunted down, and why should it be allowed to roam? ”

Qiu Laohan smiled bitterly: "Little girl, you are still young, you take it for granted. I think the families of the two deceased have such a deep hatred for this black dog. They were too scared to do anything, let alone those officials. Officials are also people, and the common people are afraid of death, so aren't the officials afraid of death? ”

Li Qingshan nodded beside him and said, "...... This dog is not sick, such a size, once it is ruthless. I'm afraid that I can bite off people's necks at once, and normal people will be afraid at a glance, not to mention that all kinds of terrible deeds of this mad dog have already spread all over the local area, and everyone is frightened, talking about the dog's color change, and it is naturally more difficult to hunt and kill it. ”

While he was talking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd of onlookers, and it turned out that the black dog actually stood up at this time. Seems to want to escape from the crowd.

Although it was emaciated, its size was huge, and when it stood up, its eyes were fierce, and its teeth were intertwined, which was extremely terrifying, and some onlookers had already run away in fright.

Xiao Liuzi and Wang Liuzi were like great enemies, holding wooden sticks in front of the two young ladies.

Qiu Laohan's words. Something doesn't seem right.

Li Qingshan's heart moved, and he shouted, "Don't hurt it yet." See where it's going. ”

Wang Liu's father and son glanced at each other, and then flashed to the side, flashing a way, and the black dog saw the situation and hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran away.

The black dog ran to the alley between the North and South Wine Shops and the North and South Inns, as if he was familiar with the road. He went headlong into it.

Li Qingshan was a little surprised, he was stunned and thought for a moment, and felt more and more that something was wrong, so he took the wooden stick from Tang'er's hand, and picked up two stones from the ground and put them in his pocket. After thanking Qiu Laohan, he immediately followed from behind.

Just now I heard the old man Qiu talk about all kinds of terrifying rumors about this dog, the two sisters were already afraid, and at this time, they were a little shocked to see that Li Qingshan actually dared to follow.

This baby is really bold, even the gray-bearded Qiu Laohan was a little frightened, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

This stinky boy, don't you want to die?

Tang'er was worried and angry, and couldn't help but scold Li Qingshan, a stupid person.

Although this kid behaved badly just now, but now he knows that he was worried about being bitten by a dog just now, and he didn't mean to be light, thinking of this, Tang'er suddenly felt a little sweet in his heart.

It's useless to scold now, she is worried about the safety of the bad guy, so she has to follow without saying a word, but she was pulled by Chen Ruolan.

"Sixth Uncle Wang, you follow Li Gongzi, be careful yourself, and we will follow behind."

Wang Liu, who was strong and courageous, nodded, and followed him as he walked into the alley with a wooden stick in his hand.

Xiao Liuzi glanced in the direction of the black dog in the alley and said, "Miss, the black dog seems to have run to the wasteland behind the shop, let's go over the shop, so it's safer." ”

This suggestion is good, this alley is indeed too small, Chen Ruolan nodded immediately.

Not only Tang'er, but she was actually worried about Li Qingshan's safety in her heart, so she walked extremely fast.

When they walked through the shop and the backyard and through a back door, they saw that the black dog was already curled up under a fallen pillar, but his eyes were fierce, and he glanced coldly at the people around him.

Li Qingshan stood far away with a wooden stick in his hand, as if in contemplation, and next to him stood Uncle Wang Liu.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, both sisters breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qingshan was slightly surprised when he saw that they were nervous, isn't it just chasing a dog, can he be so nervous?

After thinking about it again, I was relieved.

Because he had been vaccinated against rabies in his previous life, he subconsciously didn't take this rabies seriously, and with his ability, he was confident that he would not be hurt, but Chen Ruolan and Tang'er were concerned about him, and it was normal to worry.

There are two types of rabies vaccine, one is injected after a bite, this vaccine generally must be administered within 24 hours, and the sooner the better!

Of course, comrades who feel that their lives are worthless, after being bitten or scratched, can be delayed for a few days, or put a band-aid or something to hold on first, there are cases in this world that do not require special treatment to recover, but there is only one case found in the world, it is a little girl in the United States, miraculously survived, believing that their luck is against the sky, you can gamble, but the bet is life.

The other vaccine is given without bite injections to prevent it. People like Li Qingshan, who work in zoos, must be vaccinated in advance because they have to come into constant contact with various animals.

It is worth mentioning that rabies is not the only one with dogs, like cats, wolves, foxes, skunks, raccoons...... Even bats can carry the rabies virus, and the little American girl who escaped death was scratched by a wild cat and contracted rabies.

So, as long as it's someone who works with animals. For example, veterinarians, animal keepers, slaughterers, cave workers, and even people who travel to epidemic areas should be vaccinated against rabies as a precaution.

However, what Li Qingshan is thinking about now is not these things.

I saw that he was very engrossed. Chen Ruolan whispered: "Gongzi Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Qingshan raised his head, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Miss Chen, how far is Lianggou Ziyi from here?" ”

Obviously chasing the dog, why did the question ask so jumpy, Chen Ruolan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She was not very familiar with Lianggou Ziyi, but Uncle Wang Liu, who was next to her, had already answered for her: "Gongzi Li, Lianggouzi Station is about forty miles away from Tangxiang Station. ”

"Forty miles ......," Li Qingshan muttered. I suddenly scolded "the second Olympics" in my heart.

It was the first time he had felt so annoyed since he came to this plane.

This matter is really not as simple as it seems!

Everyone was puzzled, Chen Ruolan just heard him ask abruptly, but at this time she seemed to understand something.

"Li Gongzi, do you suspect that this dog's incident did not arise out of nowhere, but that someone was secretly playing ghosts?"

Li Qingshan sighed and nodded lightly: "Miss Chen." Don't you think something is wrong with this? The dog had lost so much weight that he could still travel so long. Running all the way from so far here......"

When he said this, it seemed a little suspicious, the distance between the two posts was really not too close.

Chen Ruolan was already thinking deeply, but Tang'er was still staring with big eyes, looking unclear.

"What do you mean? Since it didn't run here on its own. Is there anyone so bored that they can't transport it from so far here? ”

Hearing this, Li Qingshan and Chen Ruolan couldn't help but glance at each other, but neither spoke.

The two of them seemed to have a clear mind, and they couldn't help but think of the possible mastermind behind this incident. But now there is no evidence, and the two of them are not easy to say, but they just tacitly understand.

If this matter is really manipulated by someone behind the scenes, it is nothing more than Song Buren and Du Zhongfang.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Tang'er was a little anxious, and immediately asked again: "Sister, what's going on?" ”

Li Qingshan glanced at the black dog in the ruins and asked, "Tang'er, how is the business of our two shops in the past two days?" But what's out of the ordinary? ”

"Huh?"

It's Lianggou Ziyi again, and it's the business of the shop, how can it be something that doesn't match, Tang'er replied suspiciously: "The inn's business, you know, has not been very good, the wine shop just had some improvement a few days ago, but in the past two days, it seems that the numbers on the books are not very good-looking...... I told my sister about it yesterday. ”

As if he had expected her to say this, Li Qingshan nodded and said, "That's it." With such a terrible big black dog constantly coming in and out of our shop, how good can business be? ”

Chen Ruolan nodded lightly in agreement with his words, she obviously understood the key to this.

Her two shops are located at the west entrance of the Tangerine Xiangyi business district, and the west of the Tangerine Xiangyi is Lianggou Ziyi, basically going west and guests coming from the west will pass through Lianggouziyi.

The horror of this black dog has already spread in Lianggou Ziyi, and the potential customers of the shop were already frightened when they saw it suddenly haunting here, how could they stop and spend?

Even guests who have not heard of the terrible rumors of the big black dog, when they see such a big vicious dog, they are afraid that they will think twice, and I believe that most guests would rather go a few more steps.

Is it worth it to risk being bitten by a dog for a meal?

Li Qingshan said solemnly: "...... Again, nothing happened. ”

"What do you mean?" Tang'er asked puzzled.

"Think about it, if one day this dog suddenly goes crazy and bites someone to death around our shop, I'm afraid that when the time comes, even if we don't charge money and let the guests eat and live for nothing, half of the guests will dare to enter our shop."

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: "This dog is actually not terrible, what is really terrible is actually the human heart ......."

Hearing this, Tang'er also vaguely understood what he was referring to.

Although she is brutal by nature, she is kind in her bones. Before Chen Ruolan came to Tangerine Xiangyi, she was a young girl who ran these two shops by herself and gritted her teeth here, and was repeatedly made small moves behind her back, in fact, she had already seen the methods of those people, but at this time, she still couldn't accept Li Qingshan's speculation.

In other words, she resisted this speculation from the bottom of her heart.

Because of this truth, it is so cruel that it makes people feel cold!

She would rather believe that this is just a side of Li Qingshan's paranoia of being victimized and came up out of thin air.

But Li Qingshan's next words directly shattered her beautiful vision.

"Look at that pillar and look carefully at the marks on it......"

Pillar?

Everyone looked towards the black dog's perch.

The pillar fell diagonally on top of a broken wall, behind which was a large connected earthen wall, seemingly inadvertently, forming a simple kennel to shelter from the wind and rain.

The land had been deserted for months, exposed to the wind and sun, and the pillar had long since changed color from long-term exposure to the air in some places, and even mildew in several places.

But now when I look over, I can see that the color of several places is obviously not commensurate with the surroundings, and this pillar has obviously just been moved.

Pillars that have been moved, kennels that seem to have been formed unintentionally, scary sick dogs that suddenly appeared, the distance between the two places, the plummeting passenger flow and turnover......

While this may be hard to accept, it is already being revealed.

Li Qingshan's words made Chen Ruolan and Tang'er, as well as the six fathers and sons next to them, a little silent.

The unpredictability of people's hearts is really frightening.

After a long time, Chen Ruolan asked gloomily: "Then what are we going to do now?" This dog, even the government can't take it......"

This woman, who has always been shrewd, is also a little out of proportion at this time, and her tone is full of a helpless loneliness.

Tang'er also looked at Li Qingshan with a helpless expression, obviously, this terrible big black dog was too tricky, so tricky that everyone was helpless.

Do you want to see this ruse succeed?

The dark corners around him seemed to have turned into gloomy faces at this time, and they let out a smug laugh in this direction.

But this laughter didn't last long after all.

The seemingly casual words of the young man, like a dazzling ray of sunlight, instantly shattered these terrible glooms.

"You don't have to worry too much, isn't there still me? With me here, this thing must be done......"

Tang'er frowned and smiled.

Although this kid has a hippie smile on weekdays and looks like he is underbeaten, he has never disappointed at critical times!

She was about to open her mouth to ask, but she saw an urgent voice from behind her: "It's really here!" ”

When everyone looked back, it was an official errand, and it was the head catcher surnamed Xing who had seen when the holy decree was read before.

Xing Zhutou arched his hand towards Li Qingshan and said, "Lord Li, Miss Chen, Lord Gao has an urgent matter, so I will send you two to the post house to meet him quickly!" ”
