The boat boss is the descendant of the fishermen who grew up on both sides of the Qingcao River, and their ancestors have relied on the Qingcao River for a living from fishing.

The boat boss has several boats in his hands, and he has enough people under his hands, going back and forth in this grassy river every day, fishing for fish and shrimp.

Then the boss of the ship will contact the big boss of parallel goods in the capital to sell, which is a stable supply chain, and it has not gone wrong for many years.

"Lord Mu, General Luo, Boss Yang, Boss Wang, the little ancestors have relied on this green grass river to support their families for generations,"

"In this whole village, the big guys also make a living from fishing, thanks to Boss Yang and Boss Wang, they can afford to buy our fish and shrimp."

"What we do is a conscience deal, we really don't dare to do anything in the fish and shrimp, that's not to cut off our own way of life, ask the two adults, the two bosses Mingjian!"

The boss of the boat faced Yang Ruoqing and the others who came to the door, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground at that time.

Boss Wang stood behind Yang Ruoqing, and the cold sweat on his head was also gurgling.

Mu Zichuan groaned for a while and asked the boat boss: "In your village, are there any villagers who are suffering from strange diseases?" ”

The boat boss thought for a moment, nodded and said, "There are five of them." ”

Mu Zichuan then looked at Yang Ruoqing, "It stands to reason that this village is full of fishermen, and they should eat more fish and shrimp than other places, why is the proportion of sick people not as high as in other places?" ”

Yang Ruoqing had been thinking about it, and when she heard him ask, she came back to her senses.

"I can't answer you this question yet." She said, her gaze falling on the ship's boss.

"Where do you villagers get water? Well or this grassy river? She asked.

Boat Old Avenue: "It's all from this grassy river." ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "Let's go, take us to the river." ”

The group soon came to the grassy river, and the river beach was full of lovely pebbles.

The river passes by here, and the blue sky, white clouds, and green aquatic plants stretch in the water waves under the clear water.

"The name Qingcao River is really apt, a good place."

Glancing around, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but praise.

The boat boss rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't hide it from Boss Yang, our ancestors grew up eating this river water for generations, and the descendants in the village are all very strong. ”

"If this strange disease really comes from here, don't say it's me, I'm afraid the whole village won't be able to figure it out!"

"How could such a beautiful river suddenly change? We ate and did laundry, and we didn't feel that the taste had changed......"

The captain sighed from the side.

Yang Ruoqing walked along the river, and then, she stopped somewhere.

"Tang Lingzi, go scoop a scoop of water." She said.

Luo Fengtang nodded, took out the bowl prepared in advance, scooped a bowl of water and sent it to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing took out a silver needle, put it in the water, and took it out again after a while, nothing unusual.

"How?" Mu Zichuan also came over and asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "This water should be no problem." ”

"The boss of the boat also said that the people in their village have always eaten this water and are sick, and there are only five or six families."

"So, sure, the problem should not be in the water, but the fish and shrimp in the water."

Hearing her words, the ship boss's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"How so?" He muttered, "If I want to say that fish and shrimp, I am also eating it, why am I not sick?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "What kind of fish and shrimp are you eating?" What about big fish and prawns or small fish and prawns? ”

The boat boss smiled bitterly and said, "Big fish and prawns can be bought at a good price, how can you be willing to eat them?" ”

"I eat all those small shrimps and hairy fish that can't be sold."

"However, those sick villagers eat big fish."

"Because that time, a family came to their relatives and entertained them with big fish and prawns."

"In our fishing village, only relatives who come will be willing to take big fish and prawns to entertain, and they are usually reluctant to eat ......"

The words of the ship boss suddenly woke up Yang Ruoqing.

"I know what's going on!" She said suddenly.

All the people around gathered around.

Yang Ruoqing said: "If I guess correctly, there must be something poisonous in this river water, because the river water is flowing, so the toxin is diluted." ”

"Big guys eat this water, because the toxins are very small, and it won't have any effect on the body."

"It's not a big problem to eat a little fish and shrimp."

"But as long as you eat big fish or something, you may get sick."

"This is because the small fish and shrimp survive in this diluted toxin water, and a certain amount of toxin has accumulated in the body."

"This little bit is a small amount, and it will not have a big impact if people eat it."

"Then the small fish and shrimp are eaten by the big fish, and these toxins accumulate and precipitate in the body of the big fish."

"The quantitative change has reached the qualitative change, and when a certain time comes, too many toxins have accumulated in the body of this fat big fish, which is undoubtedly a big tumor."

"The big fish is caught, and then made into dishes and sent to the table, and the chopsticks are not fish, but tumors, and it is strange if you don't get sick!"

After listening to Yang Ruoqing's detailed explanation, the big guys suddenly realized.

Mu Zichuan asked Yang Ruoqing in surprise: "Then can I go back now to report this discovery to the saint?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "You go and tell now, the Holy Decree temporarily stops the supply of fish and shrimp in this area of Qingcao River, this is very simple." ”

"However, if the toxins in this river are not found, this problem is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Luo Fengtang said: "Qing'er is right, we must find out where this toxin came from, is it artificially poisoned?" Or something else? Could it be related to the Black Lotus Sect? ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "Judging from the symptoms of those patients, they should be suffering from Minamata disease. ”

"If it's Minamata disease, it must be that toxin playing tricks."

"Really? What kind of toxin is that? Mu Zichuan hurriedly asked again.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him and said, "Mercury!" ”

"Mercury?" Mu Zichuan looked confused, "What is mercury?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "In order to pursue longevity, or prolong life, many Taoist priests will start to practice Jindan. ”

"Alchemy requires the use of mercury."

"Zichuan, Tang Yanzi, you go and check if there is a Taoist temple or something like that around here......"

"No need to check, I know best around here, there is no Taoist temple!" The captain of the boat spoke.

"I grew up in this area of Qingcao River when I was a child, and I know exactly what is more and what is missing."

"There is no Taoist temple, but from here, two miles away, the suburban manor of Zhao Yuanwai's family, which had been deserted for almost two years, was sold."
