Chapter 64: Poisons
But he got up early in the morning, got ahead of the robbers, and began to set up obstacles in their way, slowly consuming their vital strength.
He found that there was a big pool at the foot of the mountain, two or three acres large, and a small stream stretched from the halfway up the mountain to the edge of the pool, and the clear stream water flowed into the pool, and the pool water was crystal clear, clean and cool.
Akako suddenly came up with the idea of making a new impression here, teasing them, and making these robbers upset, and their spirits entered a state of extreme tension, so that they had a nervous breakdown and could not control themselves.
He came to the edge of the stream, cut a large bundle of potato seedlings with a knife, and dipped the juice into the pool water, he knew: the juice of this potato seedlings, when dissolved in the water, once it touches the skin, it immediately produces allergies, itching uncomfortably, when scratching with his hands, the more he scratches the more itchy, even if the skin is scratched, it is useless.
When everything was ready, he slowly climbed halfway up the mountain, hiding in the bushes, ready to watch a good show!
After a while, Wu Yunlang really led the robbers down the mountain, and he was dejected, like a group of bullfighting bulls who had lost a fight.
He counted it, in addition to Wu Yunlang, there were thirteen robbers yesterday, and now there are only eleven left, and two more have been consumed! It seems that they will not be able to last much longer if they die like this.
These robbers have been in the deep mountains and dense forests for more than ten days, and they are always worried, and they are so caught up by the naked people that they are already exhausted, and they fall asleep on the ground, and they have not even taken a bath, and their clothes are also rotten and smelly.
Now when I saw the waterhole, I was overjoyed, and I couldn't wait to untie my clothes, and jumped down one by one, washing my body and rubbing my back, and I was very busy.
After a while, trouble came, everyone felt that the whole body was itching uncomfortably, and there were red spots one after another, and when I scratched it with my hands, the more I scratched, the more itchy it became, and the skin was scratched, and even blood was dripping out.
At this moment, a large poisonous snake smelled blood and swam out of the grass by the stream, but saw that the snake body was more than two meters long, the mouth of the bowl was thick, the neck was puffed out, and the long poisonous letter was stretched, and it pounced on the robbers in the water.
This kind of snake is called "rice shovel head", it is very poisonous, once it bites, this person is finished, Wu Yunlang saw it, and shouted loudly: "Everyone come ashore, the snake is coming!" ”
This sudden attack frightened the robbers, and they ran desperately to the shore, and one of the members was chased by a poisonous snake, and took a hard bite, threw a few times in the water, and whimpered for his life.
It was also Wu Yunlang who was bold enough, ran ashore and took out a pistol, shot at the snake's head, and fired a few shots at the snake's body, before the poisonous snake was killed, and after turning around in the water a few times, it also sank, and a wisp of blood surfaced.
The robbers, who did not even bother to put on clothes, grabbed their clothes in one hand and carried their luggage in the other, and three members of the team fled the scene in panic with cloth bags full of banknotes.
In the evening, when the robbers came to a small hillside, Wu Yunlang saw potato crops growing on the slope, and was very happy, since entering the big forest, they have relied on roasting yam eggs to sustain their lives, so they have survived to this day, and now they have found food, just like mosquitoes see animals, so there is no reason not to suck blood?
When he pulled out the stalks with his men, there were five or six arm-thick and two-foot-long tubers underneath, some of which were so broken that they were buried in the ground.
The men sharpened a wooden stick with a knife, gently pried open the dirt, and took it up, and the attendant said excitedly:
"Boss! Now that we have food, we can fill our stomachs! ”
Wu Yunlang said: "Let's go and collect firewood, bake it and eat enough, rest here tonight, and continue to walk tomorrow morning, the man who is not afraid of death will not dare to hunt us, he may also be lost, and ask us to take him out, we will keep walking west, and then we will be able to escape!" ”
"As long as the person who is not afraid of death does not kill us, we have hope!"
The robbers heard the captain say this, as if the drowning man had grasped a straw and had the desire to survive again.
When they say "a person who is not afraid of death", they mean a child, and even a bullet cannot kill him, so what weapon can put him to death?
Akako didn't want to kill them immediately, he wanted this group of robbers to be tortured in Omori, break their will, make them pay a heavy price for their actions, and then leave the first offender and the two backbones to accept the punishment of the law.
Therefore, he is not ready to do it himself, nor does he plan to do it, so he will let the natural environment consume them one by one.
When the potatoes were cooked, a fragrant smell filled the air, making the robbers' mouths water, and they immediately took a few bites in their hands.
Wu Yunlang commanded: "Brothers! It seems that this kind of thing grows very full, the fragrance is strong, it is a very good food, but none of us have eaten it, I don't know if it contains toxicity, everyone must pay attention, don't eat too much, it would be good to save your life, in case the poisoning is too deep, you can't get up tomorrow morning! ”
What a crow's mouth, a good not ugly spirit.
Everyone ostensibly responded, but when the food was taken out of the fire, they were tempted by the fragrant smell, and they could not grasp it for a long time, so you grabbed one, I grabbed one, sat down on the grass, gobbled it up, and after eating enough, went to the brook to get a few handfuls of water, and then lay down in the grass on the hillside, and fell asleep.
The robbers knew that this potato plant was called "red cassava", although it has a lot of starch and a strong fragrance, but it is also very toxic, that is, wild boars will eat too much, and they will also die because of the poison attack.
What's more, after these robbers entered the mountains and forests, there was no oil in the stomach, which made the poison easy to attack, and during the difficult economic period, the villagers also ate this kind of potato food, but they first cooked the red cassava thoroughly, then cut it into thin slices, bleached it with water overnight, let the toxin dissolve in the water, and then stir-fry it with lard, even if they were full, they would not be poisoned.
The robbers roasted cassava to eat, and the toxin was completely retained, and then after heating, the moisture became less, and the toxin became more concentrated.
In the middle of the night, Wu Yunlang suddenly found that his head was dizzy, and when he sat up, he felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were full of stars, his limbs were weak, and he fell into the grass and couldn't get up.
He suddenly felt a pang in his heart: Is it nothing more than eating these potato foods and being poisoned?
I only ate one, and I was so dizzy that some of my men ate two or three in a row, and it was miserable.
Wu Yunlang regretted it, in Syria, he did not die under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Russian Air Force, but he wanted to die in this deep mountain and forest, he was really unwilling!
