Chapter 355: Water
The next day, just after dawn, Xirong's army launched another wave of attacks.
However, he was soon crushed by the bamboo arrows on the city wall.
Then another wave of attacks followed, this time with a ferocity, and even though the bamboo arrows on the walls rained down, there were still many enemies who climbed the walls.
Under the hard work of Manqinghuan, Shao Jin and other soldiers, they were killed.
It was almost noon, and there was another wave of attacks from the Xirong army, but this wave was obviously much lower morale than the previous wave.
Then the two sides withdrew their troops and went back to eat.
Man Qinghuan had just picked up the bamboo chopstick, and Bai Ling ran over to say that something had happened.
It turned out that many residents experienced symptoms of abdominal pain of varying degrees after lunch.
There were even a few cases in which they died on the spot.
Man Qinghuan put down the bowl and followed Bai Ling to the scene.
The dead men were found to have black and purple lips, which seemed to be symptoms of poisoning.
Bai Ling is a healer, more sensitive than Man Qinghuan, and at this time he has taken out a needle bag from his sleeve and pricked it with a silver needle.
Sure enough, the shiny silver needle turned jet black.
Then the problem comes, there are no less than 100 poisoned people in the whole city.
It is understood that the abdominal pain only appeared after lunch.
Every family eats differently, so why are they poisoned at the same time?
In order to find the cause of the poisoning, Bailing conducted an investigation interview with more than 100 poisoned people.
The investigation has not been completed here, and there is an emergency over there, and it has been reported on Manqinghuan's desk.
Not only the people in the city, but also the soldiers who had been operating fifty or sixty were poisoned.
Man Qinghuan hurried and called Bai Ling back.
After Ma Yun checked the pulse of these fifty or sixty people, he determined that it was the same kind of poison as the people on the street.
I wrote the prescription and went to it, but there was a problem with the medicine in the pharmacy.
There were so many people who were poisoned that all the medicines in the pharmacy were caught.
What can I do?
When everyone was at a loss, Xiao Chen quietly pulled the sleeves of the very happy clothes.
The two walked into a corner where no one was looking.
"Do you remember that Doctor Bai once said that my blood may be ......?"
Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice.
"No way!"
Seeing the strange gazes cast by others, Manqinghuan lowered his voice.
"Let's not talk about whether it has any effect, what about fifty or sixty people, how much blood can you put on your body?"
What's more important is to let people know that his blood can detoxify, which is very likely to bring danger to him.
People will do whatever it takes to arrest him and use him as a medicine man.
Even if her status is noble, maybe no one in her country dares to fight her idea, but don't forget that there are vanities and Beidi around her.
People don't care what kind of prince you are or not.
Seeing that the girl's first reaction was to consider her own safety, Xiao Chen's heart suddenly warmed, but he knew that the girl was actually very concerned about those poisoned soldiers.
"Don't worry, I won't come nonsense, let's ask Bailing first."
Man Qinghuan also realized that his behavior was a little excessive.
Slowed his tone, "I'll call Bailing." ”
After listening to the meaning of Man Qinghuan and Xiao Chen, Bai Ling thought about it.
"Your Highness, you stick out your finger first, and I'll take a drop of your blood and try it."
Xiao Chen stretched out his finger and asked Bai Ling to take blood.
Bai Ling used a clean silver needle to puncture his finger and squeeze out a drop of blood that dripped into the white porcelain dish.
Then, the blackened silver needle that had been poisoned was dipped in the blood of the dish, and the silver needle was erected.
Let the bright red blood start from the tip of the needle and slowly walk towards the end of the needle.
At this time, a miraculous thing happened, where the blood walked, the black color of the silver needle slowly disappeared, and along the flow of blood, the silver needle slowly brightened.
It really works.
His thing can really be detoxified.
Xiao Chen had a smile on his face, and his face was full of joy.
Relive a lifetime, and I can finally help her.
Manqinghuan pulled Bai Ling aside.
"Tell me honestly, how much blood do you need for those fifty or sixty soldiers?"
The reason why he preemptively pulled Bai Ling aside was because Xiao Chen was the original owner of Bai Ling, and he was afraid that that guy would collude with Bai Ling and hide it from himself.
"A teacup is enough."
"Just a teapot?"
The girl thought, a teacup is not a lot, the big deal is to let the blood go, buy more liver, red dates to replenish his blood.
As Xiao Chen said, in fact, she was still very worried about the poisoned soldiers, and she only needed a teacup of blood to listen to it, and she immediately agreed with Xiao Chen's idea in her heart.
"So how are you going to get them to drink? Gotta find a reasonable excuse, okay? ”
I'm still worried that Xiao Chen has been exposed.
Bai Ling naturally knew the severity of this matter.
"Don't worry, girl, I'll add other herbs. Mix it into pills and distribute it. ”
The fact that the blood of the former master will definitely not be exposed, can be detoxified.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Chen took the blood in Manqinghuan's room, and Bai Ling took the blood and boiled it directly in Manqinghuan's room to make a pill made with other herbs.
Distributed to poisoned soldiers.
Then, after half a day of investigation, I finally found a common denominator.
That is, whether it was the poisoned people or the soldiers, they all cooked with freshly taken river water.
There are three large tanks in the ya, and the water in these three tanks is used to cook for soldiers in ordinary times.
Because of the tight war last year, I didn't have time to fill these three tanks.
Halfway through the cooking, the firehead found that there was no water in the tank.
I went to the house next door and borrowed a bucket of water for the time being.
The fifty or sixty people who were poisoned ate ate this bucket of water and cooked food.
And the family next door, the whole family was poisoned.
After investigation, it was confirmed that the water from the house next door had just come from the river this morning.
The other 100 or so people also proved that their own families were on the morning and the river water that had just hit.
This was followed by a survey of the water used by people who had not been poisoned.
Fifty or sixty households were randomly selected, and the water used by these households was either from yesterday's water or from this morning.
In other words, the poison is in the water.
Man Qinghuan came to the river with Bai Ling, took a scoop of water casually, and tried it with a silver needle.
The shiny silver needle immediately turned jet black.
The water is poisonous.
The faces of the two immediately turned unsightly.
You must know Qinghe Town, there is only one water source in the whole town.
It flows in from outside the city, circling the town all the way and out of the town.
The inhabitants of the city rely on this river for their drinking water.
How many days can you endure without food, and how can people endure without water to drink?
As for digging wells, the underground soil layer in Qingyuan Town is hard, and the water level of groundwater is very low.
There is not a single well in the whole town, except for this river, which runs around the town.
In the camp tent of the Xijon people outside the city, a soldier who looked ordinary looked half-knelt on the ground and asked the general for credit.
