Text Chapter 190 Gu Poison
After walking on the road for two days, the three finally came to Liangzhou.
After arriving in Liangzhou, the speed of the three of them slowed down. Soon after entering Liangzhou, when passing the foot of a mountain, the three found some discarded livestock carcasses on the side of the road, all of which were domestic animals such as cattle and sheep, as if they were sick and were still on the side of the road.
The carcasses of those livestock were exposed to the sun, and some of them seemed to have been here for a long time, and they had already emitted a stench, but strangely, there were no mosquitoes or other scavengers on the carcasses, not even a single fly.
The three of them looked at the carcasses of these livestock on the side of the road, because it was too smelly, and they did not come forward to take a closer look, but there was a strange situation, that is, all the heads of the livestock were gone, and only an empty head was left, which looked a little terrible.
Feng Yuerong felt disgusted and didn't want to continue looking at these corpses, so she got into the chariot and the three of them continued to hurry.
In the evening, the three of them came to a village, and now they were still a long way from entering the city, so they planned to spend the night in the village for the time being.
The three of them came to the village chief's house, the village chief was very talkative, and suddenly saw such three people, not like ordinary people, they felt that it should be some big family or people sent by the gate, so they treated each other warmly, and deliberately squeezed out two empty rooms.
In order to thank the village chief's family, Feng Yuerong also took out one hundred taels of silver, which was regarded as a lodging fee, so much silver, the village chief naturally did not dare to accept it, but he was stuffed in his hand by Feng Yuerong.
The village chief's family was also very happy to receive such a large sum of silver, and for this reason, they specially killed a sheep in the family to entertain the three of them.
After walking for two days, Feng Yuerong has not eaten well, and now when she sees a large pot of fragrant mutton, her saliva has already flowed out, and she can't help but pick up the chopsticks and start eating.
There are only three sheep in the village chief's house, and now in order to entertain Feng Yuerong and the three of them, he deliberately killed one, Chu Feng was also a little embarrassed, so he picked up his wine glass and toasted to the village chief: "Village chief, today, thank you for taking in, and I also killed a sheep in the family, I will toast the village chief." ”
The village chief hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said enthusiastically: "Young Master Chu, you are serious, Feng Yuerong gave us so much silver, what is this sheep." ”
Feng Yuerong asked while eating: "Village Chief, we won't eat and live in vain with you, just those silver, we are buying a few more sheep." ”
The village chief drank the wine in the cup and said, "It is very difficult to buy sheep here, not only sheep, but also other livestock. ”
Chu Feng was curious: "Why is this, by the way, village chief, on the way here, we saw a lot of livestock on the side of the road that were still on the side of the road, and they all seemed to be sick and dead?"
The village chief personally poured Chu Feng a glass of wine, and then said, "Oh, those livestock, they are all still there after they died. ”
Chu Feng then asked, "What kind of disease is it, we have seen a lot of dead livestock." ”
The village chief said: "You don't know, many of us here are Gu breeders, and the dead livestock you see are still there after being bitten to death by those Gu worms. ”
"Raising Gu worms?"
Feng Yuerong suddenly thought of something, and then said to Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, do you remember that when we were in Xuzhou, there was a place where Gu worms were raised, and they were also raised with livestock?"
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, they also use live livestock to raise Gu worms there. Village Chief, are you like this here?"
The village chief nodded and said: "Yes, we are the same here, basically we use live livestock to raise Gu worms, and the Gu worms raised in Xuzhou are still passed from us." ”
At the thought of raising Gu worms with live livestock, Feng Yuerong suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach, and the mutton in front of her was a little unbearable.
Feng Yuerong put down her chopsticks and said, "Village Chief, do you have a lot of Gu worms here?"
The village chief said: "Many, we have a lot of places here that are raising Gu worms, but these we raise are all the lowest-level Gu worms, and there are some people who raise very powerful Gu worms, and there are people who raise spirit Gu." ”
Feng Yuerong was a little surprised, looked at Chu Feng, and said, "It turns out that so many people here are raising Gu worms, how can there be so many of them all of a sudden?"
The village chief said with a smile: "Actually, raising Gu worms has only started in recent years, in the past, we also relied on farming and hunting for a living, and later, someone from the city came and taught us how to raise Gu worms, and we began to raise Gu worms. ”
Feng Yuerong still had a lot of questions in her heart, and then said, "Then what are you doing raising such a big Gu worm?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "This, we don't know very well, anyway, someone will come over every month to collect Gu worms, we just need to raise them." ”
Feng Yuerong felt a little strange, raising Gu worms here has become a must-do, and it has become a thing to survive, and then Feng Yuerong asked some questions about raising Gu worms, but the village chief only raises Gu worms, and the rest is not understood, so Feng Yuerong didn't ask much about what she wanted to know.
After eating, the village chief advised: "After a while, you should rest early, and if you have nothing to do, don't come out." ”
Chu Feng asked, "Could it be that something will happen here at night?"
The village chief smiled and said, "Not really, but I have heard recently that people occasionally wander the streets and sometimes go to the house to steal livestock, so for your safety, I still try not to go out." ”
Chu Feng thanked: "Thank you village chief for reminding me, we know." ”
The village chief said, "Okay, then you should rest early." ”
After the village chief left, Feng Yuerong said: "There are still people who come out to wander around at night, and they have to steal livestock, why is there no one to care, I want to see what is going on." ”
Tie Shan said: "We have been on the road for two days, why don't we rest early, and we have to go tomorrow?"
Feng Yuerong was very interested in what the village chief said, and she didn't mean to rest at all, and then said, "Tieshan, why don't you go to sleep first, don't worry about us." ”
Tie Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, forget it, I'll see what's going on with you." ”
Feng Yuerong said with a smile: "Okay, that night, let's go out and have a look together." ”
Feng Yuerong was full of curiosity about everything, and now she was going to catch someone who stole livestock in the middle of the night, and Chu Feng and Tie Shan had no choice but to accompany her.
After nightfall, the village chief's family had already slept, and at this time, Feng Yuerong and the three of them secretly came out of the room, and then quietly walked out.
When I came to the street, the empty street, there was no figure, the night was a little dim, the half moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, the moon was dim and the stars were sinking, and I could only vaguely see the things in front of me.
The three of them walked slowly along a street in the village.
After walking for half an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of sheep shouting in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly quickened their pace and walked over. When I went around an alley, I saw a man kneeling on the ground in front of a house, biting a lamb in his mouth. Soon the sheep stopped screaming, and the man took the head of the sheep with both hands and gnawed at the neck with his mouth, as if he were drinking the blood of the sheep.
Feng Yuerong felt sick to her stomach for a while, this person was no different from those beasts in the mountains, Ru Mao drank blood, and looked very savage.
A very burly man in Tieshan, seeing such a situation, also felt a little hairy, and asked, "He, what is he doing?"
Chu Feng took a closer look and said, "I feel that that person is not normal, otherwise, how could he become like this." ”
Feng Yuerong held back the nausea in her stomach and said, "Let's go, let's go forward and take a look." ”
The three of them cautiously approached the man, but the man didn't notice anyone behind him. When Feng Yuerong and the three of them were already less than three feet away from that person, that person didn't notice it at all.
Feng Yuerong held back her disgust, and then said loudly: "Alas, what are you doing?"
Hearing someone shouting, the man turned his head slowly, his face was covered with sheep's blood, his teeth were bared, his mouth was still roaring, and he was biting a piece of raw mutton at the corner of his mouth.
Feng Yuerong couldn't help shouting, although she had seen a lot of big scenes before, but it was the first time she had seen a person who knelt on the ground and ate mutton raw like a beast, and Feng Yuerong had goosebumps all over her body, and she felt very disgusting.
The man slowly got up from the ground, raised his hands slightly, and walked towards the three of them.
Chu Feng said sharply, "What are you doing?"
The man didn't seem to hear it, and continued to walk forward, looking at this person's appearance, like a zombie, Feng Yuerong was a little hairy, and didn't want to get too close to this person, so she took two steps back.
Chu Feng asked sharply again, "What are you doing!"
The man still didn't react, continued to walk forward, and when he saw Chu Feng standing in front, he walked towards Chu Feng.
Chu Feng looked at this person carefully, with the instinct of studying medicine, this person must have been sick or evil, when the person came to him, he suddenly pinched towards Chu Feng.
Chu Feng flew up directly and kicked the man out. Then, Chu Feng walked to the man's side, and when the man was about to resist, he directly punched a breath of true qi on the man's forehead, and the man immediately lay on the ground and fainted.
After subduing the man, Feng Yuerong and Tie Shan also stepped forward, looking at the fainted man, they were still a little reluctant to get too close.
Tie Shan asked, "Brother Chu, what's wrong with him?"
Chu Feng checked it and said, "He's poisoned." ”
"What kind of poison is poisoned?" Feng Yuerong took two steps forward curiously.
Chu Feng said: "I took a look just now, this person's body has the same toxin as the dead livestock we saw during the day, so it may be the same as the poison in those livestock." ”
Feng Yuerong had a question: "The village chief said that those livestock died because of raising Gu worms, is he also like this?"
Feng Yuerong's guess made Chu Feng and Tie Shan feel cold in their hearts, and then, Chu Feng checked it carefully and confirmed: "No, there are no injuries on his body, so it should be because of other reasons." ”
Tie Shan asked, "Then we should save him?"
Chu Feng looked around, there was nothing to go, so he said, "Then let's send him to the village chief's house first." ”
"Okay, that's all there is to it now. ”
Feng Yuerong looked at this person with sheep blood on his face, and said with some disgust: "His face is full of sheep blood, Chu Feng, you should take him with you." ”
Chu Feng knew that Feng Yuerong loved to be clean, and she wouldn't take this person with her, so she said, "Okay, I'll carry him on my back." ”
Just as Chu Feng was about to carry this person to the village chief's house, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, as if two people were coming.
Chu Feng Xunsheng saw that at the intersection of an alley, two figures walked out of the alley, a man and a woman, walking a little staggeringly. Chu Feng sensed it with his divine sense, and then he was shocked, the two people who came over were actually the same as this person, and they were also poisoned.
