Chapter 373: Poison Siege

For three days in a row, the demons did not make any other movements except for the things that were ready to ignite the fire, but the people of Yuhuzhuang were still on guard and ready to fight at any time.

Zhu Rongyu and Aoki barely slept for a few hours at night, closed their eyes and rested for a while, and then went to the East Ridge Peak and the North Ridge Peak to patrol the night with the guards who were keeping vigil.

At night, it is often the best time for the devil to choose a sneak attack, so it should not be taken lightly.

At this time, Zhu Rongyu, Aoki and Yuhuzhuang and a group of capable generals hid in the dark of the East Ridge Peak, staring at every move in the brightly lit battle camp under the East Ridge Peak.

The wisdom of the devilish people lies in knowing the weakness of Yuhu Village, which is the first righteous village in the world, and naturally will not joke with the lives of the people. Therefore, they deliberately built the war camp between the villages under the east ridge peak.

In fact, it was precisely because they were worried that they would harm the innocent that they would fight with them for half a month, and they only attacked by defending, and did not rush over in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, a wild goose fell straight down from mid-air, and after jumping around in the grass in pain for a while, it let out a heavy "click" sound in its throat and fell to the ground.

The grass where the geese had struggled, the grass stems were uprooted, and there were small holes left in the ground, as if they were trying to find some source of salvation before they died.

A guard walked over and picked up the wild goose to examine it, and suddenly, there was a hot and painful feeling in his fingers, and then, then his throat became dry and tight, and he snatched the water from the water bag and drank the water in one gulp, and his body fell to the ground and convulsed for a while, and finally, with a dull "snoring" sound in his throat, he died.

Zhu Rongyu's face changed, "It's not good, this wild goose is poisonous, and there may be other poisons, everyone be careful." ”

After a while, several birds fell from the mountain one after another, and after struggling like the wild goose and the guard who had died of poisoning, they all fell to the ground.

Zhu Rongyu and Aoki looked at the bird that suddenly fell down, and their faces flashed with thought.

Not long after, other beasts, ants, and insects in the mountains slipped out of their hiding places, devouring the corpses of the birds, and ending up like the dead birds, and becoming dead creatures. Then other beasts came and devoured the dead animals......

In less than half an hour, Zhu Rongyu and the others were surrounded by a large number of dead things, which frightened everyone into not daring to open their eyes.

"It's poisonous." Zhu Rongyu was shocked to see it.

"What is the plan of this demonic man, and why do I kill these birds and beasts, and what good is it for them to attack us? I really can't understand it. One of his subordinates said with a confused expression.

"They must have a purpose in doing this, maybe they want these poisoners to spread toxins in preparation for their next fire attack, and quickly report these situations to my father and General Situ."

Mo Xiruo slept in a daze, heard an urgent bell from the village, thought that something must have happened in the village, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran outside.

I saw that in the central garden of Yuhu Village, there was a crowd of people, old and young, women and children all came out, Zhu Yizui and Situ Han were standing in the place where the bell and drum were ringing just now, looking at the people around them with solemn expressions.

Zhu Yidrunk motioned for everyone to stop the noise, and said: "I urgently convened everyone tonight to tell everyone that the devilish people are attacking with poison, and if everyone encounters something like a dead thing, don't touch it, otherwise they will die of poison." ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Old farmer, poison...... What poison? One of them, a man in his nineties, asked in a hoarse voice.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, suddenly, an owl in the sky fell down with a "oh hmm", struggled on the ground for a while and then died.

Everyone gasped and seemed to understand what the dead thing meant.

"Nine Elders, don't touch these dead things that fly in the sky and crawl on the ground." Zhu Yidrunk patiently explained.

"Then the poultry, pigs, sheep and the like we raise are dead, can we touch them?" Although the ninth elder had a hoarse voice, his ears and eyes were clear, and his mind was very good.

"These things are dead, maybe they are infected with the poison of birds and animals outside, don't touch them." Zhu Yidrunk's eyes swept over everyone, and then said: "Everyone stays in their own rooms, there is no emergency bell, don't come out casually, so as not to get stained with these poisons." ”

Situ Han saw that there was still a look of surprise and fear on everyone's faces, and then Zhu Yi's drunken words continued: "Don't panic, these poisons will be fine if you don't touch them, so just stay in the room with peace of mind." ”

After everyone dispersed, Zhu Yizui and Situ Han found Mo Xiruo standing next to the bell and drum.

"Miss Xiruo, are you here?" Zhu Yizui's face was kind and authentic.

"Uncle, I heard the sound of your bells and drums, so I hastened here." Mo Xiruo's face was full of worry, "Zhu Rongyu should still be on the East Ridge Peak now, these poisons are coming from there, I'm worried that he is in danger." ”

In the middle of the night, she heard that he was going to come to Donggeng Peak to patrol the night, and she was going to go up the mountain with him, but she didn't want to be coaxed by him, so she fell asleep.

"Yu'er, he will be careful, Miss Xiruo, don't worry too much, it's still early before dawn, go back to sleep first." Zhu Yidrunk said with relief.

At this time, it was indeed early in the morning, it was dark everywhere, and she was not very familiar with Yuhu Village.

Mo Xiruo nodded, and went to the Jade Xiao Courtyard nervously.

Zhu Yizui and Situ Han returned to Xingmei Courtyard, and the two of them had a somewhat solemn look on their faces.

"Brother Situ, today our guards on the mountain have discovered that they are transporting fire materials, and it has been confirmed that as my brother expected, they will attack by fire attack, I think, these poisons and the like are the front line of their fire attack, and the fire attack behind should be coming soon, I have a hunch that this battle will be much more difficult than before." Zhu Yidrunk's eyebrows were slightly clustered.

Situ Han pondered Zhu Yi's drunken words, and the light in his eyes flickered, "This woman called Nanzhu is not only good at using poison, but also good at leading troops to fight, and she is indeed a powerful opponent." ”

"These poisons are flying in the sky and crawling on the ground, which is impossible to prevent, and these poisons are spreading very quickly in the village, and then the entire Yuhu Village will become a dead burial ground, and you must clean up these dead things early tomorrow morning, so as not to harm the living people." Zhu Yidrunk said with some concern.

"I'm also worried that these poisons are not just about spreading toxins, they must have some other purpose, otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much money, but they wouldn't have been able to think of it for a while." Then, he pinched his chin again.

"I think so too." Zhu Yidrunk frowned and nodded.

Mo Xiruo returned to the Jade Xiao Courtyard, because he couldn't worry about Zhu Rongyu, he couldn't sleep, and in addition, the sound of birds falling in the middle of the night kept coming from the sky, and he became more and more worried, and opened his eyes until dawn.

When the sky was slightly bright, she walked out of the Jade Courtyard and walked in the direction of the East Ridge Peak.

The scene in the mountain villa was shocking, there were the corpses of birds and sparrows everywhere, and there were also many wild foxes and roe rats from the mountains, and their deaths were the same as those of the birds, with bulging eyes and curled limbs, all of which were poisoned to death.

Suddenly, a burst of screams came from the North Garden, where the villagers and their families lived in Yuhu Village, and she walked towards the North Garden.

When she arrived, she saw many people rolling on the ground and convulsing, and screaming "ahh......hh

He walked up to one of the corpses and asked his frightened relatives, "What's going on?" ”

"No...... I don't know...... Just a good ...... After a while, he fell to the ground and convulsed, and then the man was gone. The man said with a blank look and grief.

"Did he touch any poison?" Mo Xiruo asked.

"No, he just went outside to the White Feather Spring to fetch spring water and came back, and then it didn't take long to ...... That's it. "That's human.

"Did he react abnormally when he was poisoned?" Mo Xiruo was suspicious in his heart, and continued to ask.

"Yes," the man said, "He was thirsty, and he drank a bowl of spring water, and then he fell to the ground." ”

"Could it be that the water in the White Feather Spring is poisonous?" Mo Xiruo asked.

"How is that possible? Three generations of our grandparents grew up drinking water there. The man shook his head.

"Could it be that someone poisoned the spring water?" Mo Xiruo then asked.

"It's impossible, it's all your own people in the village here, how can you poison your own people?" The man shook his head.

Mo Xiruo asked several other families of poisoned deceased with a thoughtful expression, and all of them received similar answers.

She found that these deceased had drunk the water of the White Feather Spring before they died, and her heart suddenly became clear, and she said to the surrounding farmers who were surprised and grieved: "The water of this White Feather Spring must have been polluted by the poison, and the water in it can no longer be drunk." ”

At this moment, Zhu Yidrunk and Situ Han also rushed over when they heard the news.

When he saw several corpses lying on the ground, he looked at Mo Xiruo, who was at the scene, "Miss Xiruo, what's going on?" ”

Mo Xiruo told the two of them what he had just seen, and said: "I think the water of this White Feather Spring must be contaminated by those poisons, I just found out through inquiry, the poisoned people are thirsty, and they keep drinking the water in the White Feather Spring, so it can be inferred that those poisons are poisoned, and they must be thirsty, and they will definitely find water sources to quench their thirst, so the water of White Feather Spring is also polluted by their poison." ”

"Miss Xiruo's analysis makes sense." Situ Han looked at her approvingly, and then said, "If you want to know whether there is poison in the water, you only need to take a live poultry and test it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed a chicken from the backyard of his house, and Situ Han let the chicken drink the spring water, and the chicken fell to the ground not long after.

"It's so poisonous, the water of the White Feather Spring is undrinkable, and not only that, but the water from the other three springs is also undrinkable." Zhu Yidrunk's face suddenly changed color.

He had understood that the ultimate purpose of these poisons was to contaminate the water here, not just to spread the toxins.

Immediately, he said to one of the older people: "Uncle Fu, hurry up and inform everyone not to use the spring water outside." ”

"Yes, old farmer." The person named Uncle Fu immediately agreed, and hurriedly went out to tell each other.

"Let's all tell each other." Then he turned to the others.
