The corpse is poisonous!

When these four words came out of Xing Ruyi's mouth, the faces of the villagers who were responsible for exhuming the corpses finally changed, but the change was very small, and it was quickly drowned out by other voices, and they returned to their original numbness.

"You are a little girl, you know what corpse poison is. If you want to see the excitement, hurry up and don't delay us in doing things. ”

"Girl, go up, those old men in the government said that they will give a reward before dawn, and if we can't finish digging, we will have to eat a lawsuit."

"That is, if there is really corpse poison in this corpse pit, why do you have to come down, girl. I'm telling you, there's nothing in this pit but these rotten things. ”

"Why are you people so stubborn?" Xing Ruyi looked at the three villagers closest to her, and although the light of the torches was dim, she could still see that the faces of these three people had changed significantly.

The corpse poison mentioned in the mouth of Xing Ruyi is also called corpse gas. When a person dies, the rotten corpse gas will be emitted, even in a well-ventilated place, it will be irresistible. In the folk, when people want to go in and out of the place where the corpse is placed, they will wear calamus, fennel and other things to ward off evil spirits in advance. On the one hand, it is to ward off evil spirits, and on the other hand, it is to use the smell of these things themselves to neutralize the foul smell of corpses in the room and keep themselves awake.

"Brother Chang!" Xing Ruyi stood in the corpse pit and shouted Chang Tai loudly.

Hearing Xing Ruyi's voice, Chang Tai's face immediately changed.

"Ruyi, come up, what are you doing jumping into that corpse pit?"

Chang Tai ran over quickly, but before he could run to him, Xing Ruyi had already been taken out of the corpse pit by the fox.

"Brother Chang, you are too careless. The formation of this corpse pit is by no means a year or two, and the corpses are all staggered and piled up, and it is difficult for the corpse qi in them to be discharged. No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't let these people go down and dig up the corpses without any preparation. If you look at their faces, they are all symptoms of corpse qi invasion, and if this continues, not only will the corpses here not be able to dig up, but they will also die in this corpse pit. ”

Corpse gas? Ptomaine!

Chang Tai's face turned white.

"I can't blame him." The fox glanced at Chang Tai and said to Xing Ruyi: "You are half a healer, so you naturally know that this corpse qi is poisonous and corpse, but your eldest brother Chang is different, he is a fast catcher, and it is his strength to judge cases with people, but he doesn't understand these." ”

"Brother Chang, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious."

"Nope! It's me who didn't think it through! Just what to do now? This corpse pit has been dug up, and if you don't take advantage of the night to deal with it, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome after dawn. I can call these villagers up, but this place is not Luoyang, and this place is not under the control of the Jingshi Mansion, so what I say may not be effective. ”

"These wishes are understood." Xing Ruyi quickly thought in his mind, "The corpses in this corpse pit must be disposed of, but for the murderers, those in the courtyard alone are enough to sentence them three hundred times." Ruyi's opinion is that the corpse pit should not continue to be excavated, and it should be directly disposed of and buried on the spot. Fortunately, these villagers have just inhaled corpse gas and have been poisoned by corpses, and it is still too late to treat them. ”

"What medicine is needed? I immediately arranged for someone to look for it. ”

"These herbs are not uncommon, I have them in my rouge shop. Li Mao is fast and knows how to dispense medicine, so I'll leave it to him later. Brother Chang, there are two things you have to do at the moment, one is to let the officials burn these corpses as soon as possible, and then bury and dispose of them, as for this courtyard, I am afraid that it will not be inhabited for a long time, and even close to it should not be approached.

In addition to the villagers who were responsible for exhuming the corpses in the corpse pit, the villagers who were close to the corpse pit or even on the periphery also had to take medicine. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if the corpse gas enters the body and the corpse poison enters the lungs, I'm afraid it will cause a new round of trouble. ”

"The pandemic?"

Chang Tai somehow thought of those two words.

"Hmm!" Xing Ruyi nodded lightly: "Wherever there are a large number of corpses, it is also the most likely to cause various epidemics, not that these corpses are harmful, but something else." For example, rats, which live by eating carrion. ”

"I see, before dawn, this will definitely be in order. As for the onlookers, I asked the officials to take them out of here. ”

"Well, there's Brother Lao Chang." After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he said to the villagers who had changed their faces: "You yourself have said that there is nothing else in this corpse pit except corpses. I'm a good girl, if I didn't care about your lives, why would I jump into it myself. My name is Xing Ruyi, and I am half a female doctor, and every word I just said to you is true. ”

Those villagers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all locked their eyes on Xing Ruyi's face, and a look of fear gradually appeared on their faces. They are just ordinary people, and they are only wanted to get some reward money to improve the situation of their families by the people in the government who have been asked to exhume these corpses. To put it mildly, this Lunar New Year is coming soon, and after a hard year, you have to give the elderly and children at home a whole bite of meat.

"Torture girl, are we really going to die?"

"yes, girl, are we really going to die? These are just corpses, and we just moved them out, so good, how did they get the poison. I am old and young, and they point to me to live alone, and if I die, what will they do? ”

"Girl—"

"You have been in the corpse pit for so long, not only have you absorbed a lot of corpse qi from your mouth and nose, but you have also invaded a lot of corpse poison from your exposed skin. If you don't believe me, look at your arms and ankles to see if the color is a little blue or black? ”

"My arm is blue!"

"And my feet, which are not only blue, but also black. Torture girl, am I poisoned more seriously than him? Am I dying? ”

"My arms and calves are all black and blue. I knew that earning this money would kill people, and I said that I would not come to anything. It's all to blame the child for his mother, saying that the official in the middle of the night is looking for someone, it must be a big deal, and he will give a big reward. Now it's a good thing, the silver hasn't been seen yet, and this life is going to be gone. ”

A group of people, you say a word, I say a word, talk and talk, it turns into you crying and I shout. As a result, this small farm yard became more and more eerie.

Xing Ruyi rubbed the corners of his forehead with a little headache, "Yin Chensi, am I talking too scary?" ”

"What you say is the truth, why is it scary? Besides, if they just treated you like that, if you don't scare them, how can you make them remember it for a long time. The fox said, his eyebrows condensed, but he grabbed Xing Ruyi's wrist.

"What to do? I'm not going to be poisoned by corpses, am I? ”

"You're mortal too!" The fox said and let go of his hand: "Fortunately, those things in your body are not useless at all. At the very least, neither the corpse qi nor the corpse poison in this corpse pit can invade your body. ”

The things in the fox's mouth are talking about the demonic energy, ghost energy, and popularity that are intertwined in Xing Ruyi's body.

"The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, probably that's what it means." Xing Ruyi was relaxed, lowered his eyebrows, stuck out his tongue at the fox, and turned to the villagers: "Don't worry, with my Xing Ruyi, you will all live well." It's just that after this incident, it is best to ask about the work in the future, especially those related to corpses. ”

"Li Mao!"

"Shopkeeper!"

"Thank you for your hard work, go back to Yun's house and gather for a trip."

"Dispensing?"

"Hmmm! I said you remember, just come back before dawn. Remember, you can't go wrong with this amount. Xing Ruyi said, stretching out his hand: "Mulberry branches are one and a half dollars, mugwort leaves are one and a half dollars, calamus is one and a half dollars, realgar is five cents, and cinnabar is five cents." After the mixture, the mulberry branches, calamus, and mugwort leaves are decocted and filled in jars. Realgar and cinnabar are placed separately. If the time comes, when the fox and I are not there, you can distribute the medicine, use the decoction of the medicinal juice to take realgar and cinnabar, and scrub the body, and the corpse qi can be removed. If someone really can't survive that time and dies of illness, you should deal with it as a horizontal death, otherwise this small village will be difficult to be peaceful again. ”

Here, as soon as Xing Ruyi finished talking to Li Mao about how to dispense medicine, Chang Tai had already settled it and returned, and asked Xing Ruyi, Fox and Yin Yuan to retreat to a more peripheral place, so as not to have another accident when burning and disposing of the body.

"Wait a minute!" Xing Ruyi stopped those who were about to burn the corpses: "I just looked at these villagers, and I haven't seen the corpses yet." I remember that before going out, the fox had instructed Li Mao to bring his companions over when he went to the yamen to invite Brother Chang. But just now I looked at it for a long time, and I didn't see it, but there was no one in the government? ”

"Yes, there are, but they are old and their health is not very good, in this case, even if they forcibly bring people, I am afraid that they will not be able to help much." Chang Tai glanced at the corpses on the ground: "Besides, the corpses have already rotted like this, no matter how the two of them deny it, they can't escape death." Is there any point in re-investigating the cause of death? ”

"For others, maybe you don't need it, but you need it, Brother Chang. You are a fast catcher, and you always have to understand the psychological journey of their crimes. For such a serious and heinous case, I am afraid that there will be no one before and no one after us, and it will be recorded and circulated in the future, whether it is in the criminal prison department or in the mouths of the common people. The word Chang Tai is bound to be associated with this case. Therefore, others are not clear, it doesn't matter, you must be clear about Brother Chang. ”

"Ruyi ......"

Chang Tai finally understood that the reason why Xing Ruyi wanted to see these corpses was that he was the one who finally considered him.

"Brother Chang is very grateful to you, it's just those corpses...... Brother Chang is reluctant to let you touch it. Compared with your safety, Brother Chang's future and reputation are not important at all. Besides, Brother Chang never cared about those things. ”

"Ruyi cares!" Xing Ruyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Chang Tai: "Ruyi has a very wonderful feeling, after tonight, you must no longer be the fast Chang Tai in Luoyang City in the past, and your future road, Ruyi may not be able to accompany you, so there are some things, Ruyi must do well." ”

Chang Tai looked at Xing Ruyi with deep eyes, his thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
