Chapter 194: The Mysterious Old Man

The big girl buried her head, picked up two small wooden sticks, picked up a mosquito, and put it on a white glove. Li Jiannan played curiously, "Why is this mosquito red?" ”

"I think that's where the virus comes from." The eldest girl looked at the slate with joy, "Open this slate." The two soldiers in the back ran up to them, pulled the stone open, and a foul smell came out of it. Although wearing masks, the two soldiers couldn't stop clutching their chests and vomiting.

The eldest girl and Li Jiannan also covered their mouths and noses, frowning and looking inside, but it was dark inside, and they couldn't see anything at all, and some were just a super stench coming up.

"There's got to be something rotting here, otherwise it stinks." The eldest girl covered her nose and asked people to bring torches, but she couldn't see what was going on inside when she stood on it.

"I'll go down and have a look." The big girl said that she was going down.

"County Lord." Li Jiannan hurriedly pulled the eldest girl's arm, "Let them go." As he spoke, he looked at the two soldiers behind him who were vomiting.

"Master Li, just spare them." The eldest girl looked at the two soldiers who were spitting out tears, walked over, took out a small bottle from the medicine box, put it on the noses of the two soldiers and sniffed it. They instantly felt less sick to their stomachs, and almost vomited their stomachs.

When he turned around, Li Jiannan didn't know the speed at which it came, and he had already put the ladder inside, and half of his body had gone down. The eldest girl raised her eyebrows, "Brother Jiannan, don't go down when you occupy the time, it's dangerous!" Said that he hurriedly walked over and grabbed Li Jiannan's hand.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Li Jiannan doesn't care so much, what is there to be afraid of a manly man.

"Brother Jiannan, you come up first, if this is really the source of the virus, won't you go down and die?" The big girl persuaded.

"Then you can't wait like this, the things in here must always be solved, otherwise this scourge will not be eradicated, how to save these people." Li Jiannan insisted on going down.

"But you have to protect yourself before you find the root cause." The big girl insisted on not letting go.

"This ......," Li Jiannan pondered for a while, "That's good." When Li Jiannan climbed up, the eldest girl found that he was covered in blood mosquitoes.

"Hurry up and cover it!" The eldest girl was busy waving her sleeves to drive away the mosquitoes on Li Jiannan's body, and at the same time urged the soldiers to quickly close the manhole cover. "It was because of the mosquito bites that the villagers contracted the epidemic, and this can be infected through blood."

"Didn't I just recruit those poisonous mosquitoes?" Li Jiannan looked at the big girl in a bit of a panic.

"Don't worry about that, as long as the smoke doesn't stop, they won't live long. The main thing is you, I'll see if there's any injury. As he spoke, he was about to take Li Jiannan's arm to check.

"It's fine." Li Jiannan withdrew his hand, turned around and helped the two soldiers move the stone to the mouth of the well, while he flickered a small red envelope around his neck.

……

The back of the thatched hut has been cordoned off, and upon inquiry, this kiln belongs to the old man of the thatched hut, specially used to store some work or something. It's been closed for more than a year, and it's no longer in use.

After preparing the herbs, they lit them and threw them in, and covered them with a stone lid, and a lot of smoke came out of the cracks in the stones. The eldest girl sent her special protective clothing to a few soldiers and Li Jiannan, and she had to go down to see what was going on.

For a long time, when the smoke cleared, a soldier went down first, and there was no stench in it, only a somewhat pungent smell of medicine.

When they came down and looked at it, they were all stunned, what dry goods were stored there, this was directly a paradise for parasites. The thick layer of mosquitoes on the ground, as well as maggots that had been contemplated, looked extremely disgusting.

The soldier used the skulls to get these dead insects out of the way, and the strange thing is that the kiln of ordinary people is not large, and this kiln is very large.

The eldest girl and Li Jiannan lit torches and looked inside, it was empty, but where did this stench come from?

"There's a door there." Li Jiannan pointed to the door made of a piece of linen, and several people walked over. Li Jiannan opened the sackcloth door and suddenly frowned, "How can there be so many corpses here?" ”

"What?" The eldest girl hurriedly walked over and looked inside. Good fellow, there are a lot of bones on the ground, and two of them are already highly decomposed, so the stench came from them. The other skeletons seem to have been deliberately left indiscriminately, and there is not a single intact corpse at all.

"What's going on?" The eldest girl and Li Jiannan glanced at each other with a puzzled expression.

"This is the old man's this week, I guess he should know something about this." Li Jiannan walked past the two corpses that were still decomposing, and kept walking forward.

"It's literally a mass grave." The eldest girl couldn't believe it, judging from the look at these heads, there were no less than a hundred, "Come on, move these bones out." ”

"County Lord, are these two corpses going to be moved out?" The soldier had just watched the scene and was terrified of the still decomposing corpse.

"Move up together, be careful and avoid direct contact with the corpse with your body. A few people pack at the bottom, and a few people are arranged at the top to pick up. "The eldest girl couldn't have imagined why there were so many bones in this ordinary kiln. Could it be that so many people are missing in this village, they don't know, or are they people from other villages?

Li Jiannan is still looking for other exits, but after looking for a long time, there seems to be no exit here. This is strange, could it be that these corpses were all transported from above, and so many corpses were transported down from above, and none of them were found?

Puzzled, he came up and watched as the soldiers carried the skeletons out one by one. Looking at the hut, the two of them walked to the hut together. The eldest girl entered Zhou Laohan's house, and Li Jiannan went to other rooms to check.

"Cough, cough, cough......" Zhou Laohan coughed non-stop, panting in his mouth, and a soldier had just poured a bowl of salt and sugar water.

"Uncle Zhou, how is it, are you okay?" The eldest girl walked to the bed softly and looked at the dying old man Zhou.

"I'm dying, county lord, can I ask you for one thing." Old Man Zhou said weakly.

"Old man, you say, I will do it." The eldest girl agreed to him.

"After I die, please ask you where to go in Mayangpo in this village, there are two graves there, help me dig a pit next to it, where my father and mother live, and I am finally going to be reunited with them." The corners of the old man's mouth were slightly hooked into a smile.

"Okay, I promise you." The eldest girl took his pulse, very weak, "Uncle, do you want me to build a larger mound for your family in the future?" The eldest girl withdrew her hand, made a gesture of her hand, and the next person brought pen and ink.

"Huh?" The old man immediately looked at the big girl with tears in his eyes, for so many years, no one has ever said such a thing to himself, and no one has ever cared about him like this. Although he was used to it, at the moment when he was about to die, all the loneliness accumulated over the years suddenly appeared in the tears on his old face.

The eldest girl pondered, solved the corpse poison and the herbs that removed the poison in the blood vessels, pondered for a while, and then wrote down a prescription, "Hurry up and pass on this prescription, so that people can rush to collect herbs and give them to the villagers." ”

"This ......" The imperial doctor behind the eldest girl looked at the prescription, some herbs have not been heard of at all, let alone used, "County Lord, you just ...... this" The imperial doctor gestured, which means that as soon as you write a prescription, you want us to follow your prescription, is this reliable?

"Don't miss the hour! Also, those villagers who are dying, give them needles, don't come back until the herbs come back, and give them to take as soon as they are decoctioned, and the salt and sugar water can't be stopped!" The big girl hurriedly urged.

"Yes." The imperial doctor was very puzzled, although it was said that the county lord's medicine and saving people were very peculiar, but there was no such peculiarity, some of them had never been used at all, but here she was the biggest, so she had to obey orders.

"County Lord, have you found this antidote?" Uncle Zhou, who was on the straw shop, looked at the big girl in disbelief.

"I've found out, but you're not infected with the plague, but with corpse poison." The big girl looked at this handful of old bones, and looked at him, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"How can it be corpse poison, county lord, are you mistaken?" The old man's hand beside the bed was slightly clenched. These big girls got stuck in the afterglow, but she didn't show her face, it seems that he knows something about the things in the kiln.

"Uncle, you can still be saved." The eldest girl suddenly lit a lamp for him, which lit up a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Really? That ......" The old man stopped talking and gritted his teeth.

"Uncle, I think you want to give me an explanation for the corpse in the kiln." Judging from his reaction just now, he knew that the problem was connected to him.

"What corpse, why didn't I understand?" Old man Zhou pretended to be stupid.

"If it weren't for those corpses, maybe these villagers wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't be lying here like this now. Why are there so many bones in your kiln and two highly decomposed corpses? Could it be that those two bodies were moved in not long ago? ”

Looking at the old man in front of him, who was over half a hundred years old, the eldest girl took out a silver needle and pricked him with a needle, hoping that he could live a little longer, and also hoped that he could explain to himself clearly about the corpse in the kiln.

……

Li Jiannan checked in the house for a long time, and found a hemp cloth bag and a shovel in a broken jar, which was the previous shovel at home. When I opened the jar, I found that there was a wooden board under the jar, and when the wooden board was uncovered, it was a basement.

"Someone, torch." The soldier lit the torch and went into the basement.

Li Jiannan came to the basement, this underground secret room looked like it was dug by hand, it was frizzy, and some wooden sticks supported the soil on it.

It's very thick dust, and it seems that no one will take care of it if it's good; Could this be the way to that side, "look for it and see if there are any other exits." ”

"Look, my lord."
