Lu Tingxiu and Xia Qiu looked at each other, this is a ghost, it is obvious that they are infected with a strange disease.

But it's weird that everyone in a village is sick.

On the way, I met several people who came home from work, all of them were brown and red, and their faces were covered with pus, and their hair was thin, often accompanied by cough and shortness of breath.

During the chat, Xia Qiu learned that the strange disease in the village had occurred a year ago, and a few children urinated in the mountain temple, which angered the mountain god.

The mountain god was furious, and the faces of the villagers began to turn black, their bodies stiffened, they continued to lose their hair, coughed, etc., and even some people died one after another.

There were originally only more than 100 people in the village, but now there are only about 60 left. They had lived in the mountains for generations, and now they were tormented by strange diseases, and those who were a little younger fled to the outside of the mountains, leaving the old, weak, sick, disabled and without money, so they could only defend the village.

Xia Qiu thought about it carefully, "Brother Dadong, everyone in the village is infected with this disease?" ”

"There is only one exception, their family hunts, and they are so angry that even the mountain gods are taboo."

Orion's family of five lives in the innermost part of the village, near the foot of the mountains.

Dadong's daughter-in-law was killed by a strange disease three months ago, and the two were deeply affected and could only rely on each other for their lives.

After entering the house, Dadong scooped two scoops of cold water for the two.

Xia Qiu didn't rush to drink, but removed the hidden weapon box on his wrist, pulled out the silver needle as thin as a cow's hair, and put it in the water to try.

The silver needle did not turn black, and the water was not poisonous.

Dadong didn't understand, and thought that the two of them were blind and fastidious, disgusted that the water was not clean, and their faces were not good at the moment.

Lu Tingxiu hurriedly explained, "Brother Dadong, don't get me wrong. My sister is proficient in medicine, and this strange illness is not to cause trouble to the mountain god, but there may be other reasons. ”

Dadong was relieved.

After the misunderstanding was solved, Xia Qiu took the pulse of Dadong and Xiaoshi, and both of them had damage to their five organs, especially their kidneys.

Judging by their symptoms, it is highly likely poisoning.

In the summer and autumn, all the things in the entrance of the big owner were measured with silver needles, but no problems were measured.

Strange, where did the poison come from?

"We also suspected that the Orion family was poisoning, otherwise why the whole village had a strange disease, and there was nothing going on in their family." Thinking of this, Dadong was full of melancholy, "But we have secretly investigated for a long time, and we haven't caught any evidence of Orion's family, so we suspect that it is the punishment of the mountain god." ”

I can't explain this in a few words.

The Shi family's father and son went to the stove room to cook, and the two of them spent a lot of time, pondering the source of the strange disease.

The village is far away from the hustle and bustle, and since the ancestors have lived here for generations, it is unlikely that there will be problems with the water and soil.

The villagers live in harmony, and even if there is occasional discord, they will not retaliate against the whole village, but how to explain that only the Orion family is fine?

Lu Tingxiu pondered, "In your opinion, what kind of poison is in the Shi family's father and son?" ”

"It's possible arsenic." The experience of practicing medicine is limited, and Xia and Autumn are not absolutely sure, but it should be eight or nine or ten.

Arsenic poisoning, i.e. arsenic.

It's highly poisonous, and a little bit of it can kill you.

If it is artificially poisoned, it requires extremely accurate grasp skills, and even first-class poison masters may not be able to do it, and arsenic is a potent poison, and the signs of the Shi family's father and son are sick and sick.

In other words, it is a chronic poison that gradually penetrates.

Without a clue, after having lunch, Lu Tingxiu wanted to go to Orion's house.

Seeing that the Lu family brothers and sisters were willing to help, Dadong couldn't help but have more hope. However, before the whole village was suspicious of the Orion family, the relationship between the two sides was very stiff, and the Orion family had cut off contact with the villagers.

But what's more important than life? As long as this disease can be cured, the face is nothing.

After cleaning up a little, Dadong took the Lu family brothers and walked towards the village.

Because of the strange illness, the whole village is lifeless, shrouded in despair and sorrow, and has lost its former leisure and cheerfulness.

Walking to the end of the village, he saw Orion and his mother pulling pigweed on the ground, Dadong put down his son and took the initiative to say hello, "Aunt Six, are you busy?" ”

The woman held a grudge, but the sixth aunt not only did not accept his affection, but turned her face and scolded: "What are you doing standing on my ridge? Aren't you afraid that I will poison you on the ridge and poison you? ”

Dadong said embarrassedly: "Sixth aunt, it was all a misunderstanding before, our two families are still relatives, don't talk so ugly." ”

"Whew!" The sixth aunt was even more angry, threw down the pigweed in her hand and pointed at his nose and scolded, "You short-lived ghost, who is related to you, when you blocked my door, were I a relative in my family?" ”

The sixth aunt chattered endlessly, and the scolding was unbearable.

Dadong's face was red, and he was so angry that he coughed constantly.

"If you want to die and go away, don't look for my bad luck...... Aunt Liu's manure handle was about to splash the urine in the bucket.

There was a lot of movement outside, causing Orion Shi San to come out of the house.

Seeing that the person who came was Dadong, he immediately stopped Aunt Liu's pungent behavior.

Shi San walked around diligently outside, and was more open-minded, seeing that Dadong took the initiative to show goodwill, he welcomed people into the house regardless of his previous suspicions.

Knowing that the Lu brothers were doctors invited by Dadong from outside, Shi San couldn't help but take a look at it and asked his children to serve a few bowls of water to the guests.

Xia Qiu tasted two bites and tasted back: "Third Brother Shi, your water is very sweet." ”

"There is a mountain spring at the back of the house, where we usually get water for food."

Lu Tingxiu drank two sips, and the mountain spring water of the Shi Sanjia was really different from what the big boss drank.

The village is surrounded by mountains, and the streams are formed by many mountain springs and canals, and most of the houses are built along the streams. The water from the mountain streams is clean, and the villagers usually take their water directly from the streams and rivers, including irrigation in the fields.

Lu Tingxiu had a rough idea in his heart, and asked again: "Is your family's land all at the door of your house?" ”

Shi San said: "The east and the west are together, but they are not far from home." ”

"The water for watering the ground is all taken from the mountain spring behind the house?"

Shi San nodded, "Yes, my vegetable patch is too far away from the stream, and I usually pick it up from home for watering." ”

Lu Tingxiu and Xia Qiu looked at each other, and Xia Qiu secretly looked at Shi San's family a few times, but there was no sign of poisoning.

In this way, it is still a problem of water.

Lu Tingxiu looked at the mountain situation, and the mountain spring behind Shi San's house was really different from the source of the stream.

Shi San was surprised that the two of them didn't look like a doctor, so he wiped and asked, "What kind of disease does my cousin have?" ”

Without conclusive evidence, Xia Qiu will not make a presumptuous assertion, "It's hard to say now, but the whole village has this disease, and something must be wrong." According to my diagnosis, it is very likely to be poisoning, and it is imperative to find the source of the poison. ”

Shi San was anxious, and he couldn't hold it on his face at the moment, it turned out that they came to the house to ask questions, and they still suspected that their family was poisoned, which was really unreasonable.

As soon as the temper comes up, he will drive people away.

Lu Tingxiu persuaded, "Third Brother Shi, don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, the poison in the villagers has nothing to do with your family, but you helped us solve our doubts." ”

Shi San was puzzled, but since he hadn't wronged his family, he didn't care about it anymore, "What do you say?" ”
