Song Yi's doubts are also everyone's doubts.

These days, it is not without the thought of tracing the source of the plague. But because the plague spread so quickly, the mortality rate was extremely high. In addition, the officials at that time had a fluke mentality and deceived their superiors and subordinates, which delayed the best opportunity for investigation.

The first person to be informed, that is, the first generation of infected people, is no longer verifiable. Because there was no benevolent government or physical evidence to corroborate, and at that time, everyone thought that there was no longer a living mouth in Guanyi Village, where the infected person was first discovered, so the investigation could not be investigated, and it was stagnant.

However, because of the discovery of Liu Wang, a survivor of Guanyi Village, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better.

Of course, Song Yi will use all clues to find the exact time of the outbreak of the plague and determine the source of infection.

However, although Liu Wang has remembered, he is still only a twelve-year-old boy, and let him explain everything that happened in the village. He couldn't figure out the priorities, so he could only scratch his beard and eyebrows, and say all the trivial things.

Song Yi knew that he couldn't criticize Liu Wang, a child, after all, he had just experienced such a big change, and he was afraid that he had been hiding in the village alone for a long time. It's already a blessing that he doesn't go crazy.

However, what Liu Wang said was not completely without clues.

According to Liu Wang, the people in the village are all honest villagers, and there is only one person, named Liu Gen, who is always unconventional and likes to go into the mountains to look for wild meat and come back to try it.

What roe deer, roe deer, wild boar, hare, snake, rat, ant, there is nothing that he does not eat.

Liu Wang still remembers that one day, this strange man in the village bragged to others, saying that he had nothing he didn't dare to eat. Some villagers couldn't get used to him bragging, so they said, "Liu Gen, don't brag." There are so many things in this world, can you guarantee that you will eat everything? ”

Liu Gen relied on himself to be a good hunter and claimed to be a delicious gourmet, so he said disapprerovitously, "What am I afraid of?" As long as I can find something, I dare to eat it? ”

"Really? Do you dare to eat poison? The villagers scoffed.

Liu Gen felt that he was being ridiculed, so he was not happy and said, "What don't you dare." Lao Tzu snakes, centipedes, scorpions, I don't know how much I have eaten, even the wine in Lao Tzu's wine pot is brewed with these poisons"

Liu Gen tried his best to prove that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and finally, at the instigation of the villagers, asked him to go to the bat cave on the mountain behind the village to catch the deepest bats to eat.

Liu Gen is also a person who is not afraid of death, he went up the mountain early the next morning, and really let him catch a huge bat in the cave and bring it back to the village.

According to Liu Wang, the bat, with a terrifying face, weighed more than 2 catties and had a wingspan of 4 feet. When the people in the village saw the bats brought back by Liu Gen, they were too frightened to speak, because the people in the village had never seen such a huge bat.

The people in the village just said casually at that time, a Liu Gen did not dare to enter the bat cave. Because the people in the village have always said that there is a bat demon who has practiced for thousands of years in the bat cave, as long as someone in the village dares to enter the cave, he will not be able to get out.

But Liu Gen not only entered the cave, but also caught such a huge bat. The old people in the village all said that Liu Gen caught the legendary bat demon. They all persuaded Liu Gen to release the bat demon, otherwise it would bring disaster to the village.

But Liu Gen refused, saying that those villagers were ignorant, where is there a bat demon in the bat cave on the mountain? Didn't he come out well when he went in? According to his own words, the bat cave was dark, and there were thousands of bats on the top of the cave, and it was black. But he was not afraid at all and chose the biggest bat to prove his mettle.

Liu Gen didn't listen to the words of the villagers at all, but set up an iron pot in the village, cooked bats in front of all the villagers, and ate the essence in a big gulp, and finally there was no soup left.

The people in the village were not afraid of the sky and the earth, and they dared to eat even such a scary thing, and they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Later, within a few days, Liu Gen began to have a fever, and no matter how much he took medicine, he did not get better. Later, he was confused and began to babble nonsense.

The villagers all said that Liu Gen had offended the bat demon and that it had come to take revenge. The people in the village also deliberately did a ritual at Liu Gen's house.

Then, Liu Gen died, and then there were people in the village who had the same symptoms as Liu Gen.

After Liu Wang said this, he didn't realize anything.

Chunxiang on the side listened coldly, and said tremblingly, "Princess, shouldn't it really be the bat demon on the mountain who came to take revenge on Liu Gen." It's just pitiful, the villagers of Guanyi Village are innocently implicated"

Chunxiang's words made Liu Wang, who originally didn't have much emotion, look up and say, "Sister Chunxiang, what did you say?" ”

Facing the excited Liu Wang, Chunxiang thought that she had said the wrong thing, so she stammered a little, "What did I say?" I said that Guanyi Village must have suffered this disaster because Liu Gen ate the bat. The rumors in the village must be true, and there must really be a bat demon in the bat cave who has practiced for thousands of years. And the one that Liu Gen caught back must not be the bat demon itself. Maybe it's its son or grandson. In short, it is a direct line of the Bat Demon. Otherwise, the whole village would not be buried."

Chunxiang's words made Liu Wang even more excited, "Sure enough." How I didn't think of it. No wonder everyone in the village died. This must be the bat demon who has come to take revenge."

Song Yi listened to the conversation between Chunxiang and Liu Wang, a little speechless. These ancient people, if they encountered something that could not be explained, they would always try to find ways to make up for it in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Bats, originally liked to live in groups, but also preferred to live in dark and damp caves. Memories breed and carry various viruses, and because they live in dense and social groups, they are very easy to cross-infect. According to modern scientists, a bat can carry dozens of viruses, and the viruses it carries are not transmitted to itself, but to other mammals and humans.

Song Yi thought of the two new crowns in 2003 and 2020, and some experts around the world also suspected that it was spread by bats. Therefore, Song Yi didn't believe that the only reason for Bazhong to offend the bat demon in the bat cave this time was because it was dark and damp in the bat cave, and there was no ventilation and no sunlight all year round, so there were many bats carrying a large number of deadly viruses without knowing it. And Liu Gen stumbled into the old nest of the bat nest by mistake, and caught a bat of such a size. It is conceivable how powerful the virus can be.

And the ancients didn't understand these at all, can you not get sick if you eat bats?

It seems that all this also explains why it was Guanyi Village who started to get sick in the first place.

Song Yi was a little speechless when he understood this. It is said that disease comes from the mouth, whether in modern or ancient times, there are always some people who are quick to speak for a while, and they do not respect nature, which will cause disaster.
