Chapter 123: The Death of the Shrimp
Aunt Tao took everyone to a river and stopped walking.
"Aunt Tao, is that where you found Xiao Anzi?"
Seeing Aunt Tao stop, Fengyun walked quickly to her side.
"He was here when I found Anzi. At that time, he complained of stomach pain, hugged his stomach, and rolled in pain. ”
As if to ensure the accuracy of her words, she swore a curse: "Little chief, I absolutely did not lie to you. If I lie to you, you will make me die a good death, and I will be bitten by brute beasts when I go out......"
"Alright, alright. Aunt Peach. We believe you are. ”
Fengyun immediately interrupted Aunt Tao's words.
"Qiuxia Wu, have you found anything?"
Fengyun looked back at the witch and asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Nope. There was no reaction from the poison-seeking bugs. ”
The witch's answer disappointed Fengyun.
"Is it wrong again?"
Fengyun couldn't help but scratch his scalp.
"Little chief, you must believe me, I definitely didn't lie to you. You are the benefactor of our family, and with your help, our family has a good life, and I can't lie to you if I say anything. I did find Xiao Anzi in this place. If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiao Anzi yourself. ”
Although Aunt Tao didn't know what the poison-seeking insect was, it didn't prevent her from seeing that the source of the epidemic had not been found.
"Aunt Tao, please calm down. We don't blame you, it's just that we can't find the source of the epidemic, and everyone is a little anxious. Well, think about the time when you met Anzi. Did he say anything, or what was he doing?"
"Why, he didn't say anything. His stomach hurt so badly that he couldn't even speak. But what he was doing, I remember very well. ”
"What is he doing?"
Fengyun's face couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness.
The eyes of the witch, witch, magnozhi, Luo, thunder, and storm all fell on Aunt Peach, hoping to get good news from her.
"He was collecting shrimp pots. ”
"Could it be that the root of the disease comes from shrimp?"
Aunt Tao's words were heard in his ears, which had a great impact on him.
Shrimp is an extremely common aquatic organism, and if it is really the source of the disease, it is almost impossible to completely eradicate it.
Besides. In the future, at least before he left the Flame Snake Tribe, he would say goodbye to shrimp-related delicacies.
Bang bang......
Three fresh dumplings, boiled shrimp, stir-fried shrimp balls, stir-fried shrimp with green peppers, shrimp soup...... Fengyun seems to hear it. The shrimp-related delicacies in my mind are exploding and crumbling into powder.
"What is a shrimp pot?"
Aunt Momo's words caught the witch's attention.
"A shrimp pot is a tool for catching shrimp, made of bamboo, in which bait is placed. Put in water. Wait for a while, pick it up, and you will often get a reward. ”
The shrimp pot was made by Fengyun in order to eat shrimp, according to the vague memories remaining in his mind, after many explorations and improvements, and he knew it very well.
"Qiuxia, do you suspect that the source of the epidemic comes from shrimp?"
The witch apparently heard the witch's words.
"I'm not sure. But it's possible. ”
The witch did not hide her thoughts.
Thump!
As soon as the witch's words fell, everyone heard the sound of a heavy object falling. immediately turned his head to look over and found that it was Aunt Tao who fell.
Her face was pale and her whole body trembled.
"Aunt Tao, what's wrong with you?"
Fengyun's heart tightened.
"I ...... I ......"
Her lips trembled, and she couldn't even speak.
"Qiu Xia Wu, Aunt Tao, what's wrong with her? Could she be a plague ......?"
The witch glanced at her and said lightly, "It's nothing, she's just scared." I don't think she should have eaten less shrimp. Actually, she didn't have to worry about it at all. If there was a problem with what she ate, she would have become ill a long time ago, and now that she is fine, it means that there is absolutely no problem with the shrimp she eats. ”
"Qiu Xia Wu, is what you said true?"
Aunt Tao suddenly became sharp at this time.
"Do you think I need to lie to you?"
"Now I'm relieved. ”
Aunt Tao patted her chest and immediately stood up.
Fengyun and his party couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, and they all fell for her performance, and the changes before and after were too fast.
"Qiu Xia Wu, so shrimp shouldn't be the source of the epidemic?"
Fengyun looked at the witch, hoping that she would give an affirmative answer.
Shrimp is a very favorite ingredient for him, and if he can't eat it in the future, it will be a kind of torment for him.
Witch, Storm, Thunder, and Lo also cast their eyes on the witch.
Like Fengyun, they also hope that the answer she gives is yes, otherwise the impact on the Flame Snake Tribe will be very great.
People like shrimp very much, and I don't want everyone to be able to eat it from now on.
In addition, under the tutelage of Fengyun, the people of the Flame Snake Tribe have almost all become fishing masters.
A lot of fish is eaten with shrimp.
If shrimp is the source of the disease, then the fish can't be eaten?
What's more, the fish and shrimp will die, will they also pollute the water, so that people will no longer be able to get food from the water?
Now the people of the Flame Snake tribe get almost the same amount of fish and shrimp and other food from the water every year as they do from hunting.
The losses are simply too great.
"I'm not sure, I need to see real shrimp and let the poison-seeking insects identify it. ”
The witch didn't give the answer that Fengyun and the others wanted to see.
"Shrimp fishing, there are no tools now, it's a bit difficult. ”
Fengyun's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to think about how to catch the shrimp.
Although he didn't want shrimp to be the source of the disease, he knew it had to be tested.
If you can't eat shrimp, it will be a little uncomfortable at best. But eating shrimp that carries the disease will kill you.
"Little leader, I remember that Xiao Anzi didn't take back all the shrimp pots. You might as well look for it, and you might as well find it. ”
At the critical moment, Aunt Tao provided Fengyun with a very useful clue.
"Aunt Tao, where does Xiao Anzi put shrimp pots on weekdays?"
"It's just a short distance ahead. ”
Aunt Tao said as she reached out and pointed to the left front.
Fengyun followed her finger and saw that the direction she was pointing was a small river.
"Autumn Witch, Witch. Wait a minute. I'll go there and look for any shrimp pots left by Xiao Anzi. ”
"Let's go together. I'm also curious about shrimp pots. ”
The witch followed behind Fengyun.
Fengyun came to the small river, and his eyes roamed back and forth on the bank.
"Found it. ”
A smile quickly appeared on Fengyun's face.
He walked briskly to the shore. He pulled up a small wooden stick, which was less than two inches above the water, and a thin rope was attached to it, and at the end of the rope was a barrel that was arm long and thick at the mouth of the bowl.
"This is the shrimp pot?"
The witch approached. Hold the poison-seeking insect in your hand close to the shrimp pot. It still didn't respond.
"The source should not be shrimp. ”
Seeing this, Fengyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief,
However, in order to ensure that there were no omissions, Fengyun found several shrimp pots, and none of them responded.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shrimp are aquatic creatures, and there are so many of them that even if they are determined to be the source of the disease, there is no way to eradicate them all.
Before leaving. Fengyun opened all the shrimp pots just in case. Poured out all the shrimp inside, gathered them in one place, and let the witch use the poison finder to test them again.
The result made Fengyun very pleased, and the poison-seeking insects still did not have any reaction.
"Qiu Xia, it seems that we can only wait for Xiao Anzi to wake up and ask him. ”
The witch looked at the witch and shook her head, looking a little deflated.
"That's all there is to it. I just hope he wakes up soon. ”
The group began to walk back, and no one took the shrimp.
Although there is no problem with them, everyone's mind is now focused on finding the source of the epidemic, and there is not much attention to food.
On the way back, a question suddenly popped up in Fengyun's mind.
Since Xiao Anzi was the first person to fall ill, why did Aunt Tao say that he had just taken the shrimp pot and asked him to come to her house for dinner.
Soon after, Lo told him and Wu that Bei had passed out.
Bei should have had a development process from being infected to fainting, and the time is not right.
He felt the need to clarify this issue, because he had a vague feeling that it was a critical issue that would even directly affect whether everyone could find the root cause of the epidemic.
"After Xiao Anzi fell ill, did he ever get better?"
Fengyun thought of a possibility, so he approached Aunt Tao and asked her for confirmation.
"Little Chief, how do you know?"
"So, I'm right, right?"
"Yes. After Xiao Anzi fell ill, I invited Bei. When Bey came, he was fed some medicine, and he was cured. ”
"And when did he fall ill again?"
"It was the afternoon of that day, and it was almost dark. ”
"What day is it?"
"It was the day I wanted to invite the little chief to dinner. ”
"Sure enough, I guessed it right. ”
Fengyun's face became a little gloomy.
"Little Chief, what's wrong?
Aunt Tao's face was wrong, and she looked very concerned.
"Nothing. It's just a little tired. ”
"If you're tired, go and rest. When you are young, you don't cherish yourself, but when you are old, you suffer the sins you have. When I was younger, I knew that I was busy, busy, but now, my body is not good......"
Aunt Tao began to chatter, but Fengyun didn't pay attention to listen at all.
He had a faint premonition that even if he asked Xiao Anzi, he might not be able to find the source of the epidemic.
It's just that he wasn't too sure, so he didn't tell everyone.
Back in the quarantine area, Luo immediately went to visit Xiao Anzi to see how he was doing.
It didn't take long for Luo Shu to hurry back, with a hint of joy in his expression.
"Luo, how is Xiao Anzi?"
"He woke up. ”
"Awake?"
"Yes. It's not bad. ”
"Can you answer the question?"
"It should work. ”
"Qiu Xia, do you want to ask Xiao Anzi now. ”
"Absolutely. The sooner we can find the root cause of the disease and eradicate it, the safer it will be. Lo, you lead the way. ”
Luo led the way, and everyone followed her, but this time Fengyun did not follow. (To be continued.) )
