But tragedy soon struck, and one morning, five pirates who lived in a grotto, who had been alive and kicking around the night, were turned into five white bones overnight, with no flesh on the skeletons, as if they had been carefully shaved with a knife.

Despite this, there were still large pools of half-dried blood on the grotto floor.

Soon, they noticed the thin tooth marks on the skeleton, which were also on the ground, and from the appearance of the tooth marks, they immediately realized that the little monster had done it, because only the front teeth of that thing could leave that strange tooth mark.

The pirates were terrified, because no one knew how many of these little monsters existed on this island.

In this way, they survived the winter in fear, but no one expected that when spring came, the sea rats began to make frequent sorties, and in the summer they would be all over the island.

Faced with this situation, Sun San had to order the evacuation of all of them from Snake Heart Island.

On the way to Benzoin's kitchen, Tang Anshu listened to the past narrated by Gu Feng and asked, "Withdraw the island?" ”

Gu Feng said: "Yes, but I didn't come at that time, these things were told to me by the big handsome." ”

Tang Anshu walked around the corner and looked at the secret doors around him that could be opened: "I understand, those secret doors are used not only to prevent enemy fire attacks and smoke, but also to prevent sea rats, right?" ”

Gu Feng said: "That's right, at that time, the big handsome they found that the reason why sea rats eat people is because of the lack of food, so when there is enough food on the island in spring and autumn, sea rats will pour out of their nests, and in autumn and winter because of the climate, they will hide, greatly reducing their activity time." ”

Tang Anshu understood: "So the handsome man found a way to use food to lure out some of the sea rats in winter, and found their nest by touching the vines?" ”

Benzoin in front glanced back at Tang Anshu: "You're very smart." ”

Tang Anshu just said lightly: "If it were me, I would do the same, because it is too difficult to hunt and kill, and it is impossible to kill them all, who knows how many such sea rats there are on the island?" It's better to find their nests and find a way. ”

Gu Feng nodded, "Yes, and we also found out that sea rats don't like the smell of mutton, so we apply mutton fat near their nests." ”

"Goat's fat." Tang Anshu lowered his head and avoided the shorter door frame in front, "The smell of goats is heavier than that of sheep. ”

Gu Feng said in the rear: "Yes, but it was also in that year that the handsome discovered the corpse wind cave below, the strange thing is that after the discovery of that cave, those sea rats did not come out much, Ah Xiang was precisely because he learned about this matter, so he set out to start from the sea rats and found a way to fight poison with poison." ”

As he spoke, Benzoin pushed open the door, stood in the doorway, and said, "Welcome to my kitchen." ”

Kitchen? Is this a kitchen?

When he walked into that room, Tang Anshu did see the stove and kitchen utensils, but he also saw a lot of strange things, to be exact, this room was divided into three parts, one part was for slaughtering, one part was for kitchen, and one part was for pharmacy.

Benzoin walked over to a cage in the corner, looked at the furry thing inside, and said, "This is a sea mouse." ”

Tang Anshu took a closer look, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the ancient style and benzoin described, and the appearance was exactly the same as that of an otter, but the tail was full of small holes, and I thought that what was hidden in the small holes was those sharp thorns.

Tang Anshu looked at it for a while and asked, "How do you fight poison with poison?" ”

Benzoin sat down next to him: "Do you know what it means to pass on a corpse?" ”

"The corpse is tuberculosis, in the words of foreigners, tuberculosis." Tang Anshu also sat aside, but his eyes still fell on the cage.

Gu Feng said at this time: "You talk, I'll go to Le Zhengxian's side to have a look." ”

Benzoin nodded: "You still understand, so, at the beginning, I also thought that the corpse wind should be tuberculosis, but later I found out that it was different, why add the word wind?" I didn't know what was going on until I found some murals in some cave in the lower level of the fort. ”

Tang Anshu asked, "Murals?" ”

Benzoin said: "Yes, the mural, it should be left at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is very simple, the painting is the consequences of the corpse wind, the speed of this disease is faster than tuberculosis, if there is a person in the fortress who gets sick, under the premise of not isolating in time, once he gets sick, the island will be over in three days, and everyone will die." ”

Tang Anshu thought about it after hearing this, and asked, "You said that you have to be sick to be contagious?" ”

Benzoin nodded heavily: "This is the difference between the corpse wind and the ordinary corpse, the ordinary corpse, that is, tuberculosis, will only be infected if it comes into contact with the patient's phlegm, saliva or close contact with the corpse, and the onset of the disease is long and short, and the corpse wind is different, once infected, the person will cough immediately, this time period, the epidemic can still be controlled, as long as it is isolated, it will probably be fine, but once it is more than a day, the person begins to cough violently, and after coughing up blood, it will be uncontrollable, and the epidemic will spread rapidly through the wind." In a short period of time, as long as the wind blows through the place with the epidemic, both humans and animals will be infected. ”

Tang Anshu nodded: "Understood, that is to say, once you are infected, there is still a day in the middle to save, right?" Are you sure about this? ”

Benzoin took her arm: "Of course I'm sure, I've experimented on myself. ”

Benzoin's words and those needle holes on her arm made Tang Anshu tremble, this girl was actually experimenting on herself?

Tang Anshu didn't know what to say: "You ......"

Benzoin smiled: "What? Scared? ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "No, I just didn't expect that there are people like you, there are so many criminals here, there are many evildoers who are heinous and can't die a thousand times, why don't you use them as experiments?" ”

Benzoin said: "They are heinous and have broken the law, so naturally they have to act according to the law, and if the law is not written, they can be used for experiments, right?" ”

Tang Anshu was silent, but his ears rang again with his theory of doing good deeds every day when he was a child.

Benzoin watched Tang Anshu's face turn pale, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Tang Anshu raised his hand and said, "It's nothing, you continue." ”

Benzoin got up: "I won't talk much nonsense, I found the way to treat the corpse from the method of treating the corpse in the past, in ancient times, it was said that the treatment method of the corpse was to use the otter claw to grind the powder, there is a record called the otter claw pill in the "Lixu Yuanjian", which is made of the otter claw, the otter liver, the rehmannia root, the turtle plate, etc., but this method used to see, it was too slow, and it was not a special medicine, so I took one of the sea rats into the iron door and threw it in to observe ......"

When the sea rat was thrown into the corpse wind cave, it curled up in a ball, stopped moving, and then every hour, pricked itself with the sharp thorn in its tail, and so on for three days.

Three days later, Benzoin brought the rat out to observe, and found that the rat was as alive as before, eating and drinking, and she realized that it was the sharp thorn in the rat's tail that saved it.

After Tang Anshu heard this, he looked at Benzoin's arm again: "Then, you will pull out the sharp thorns on the tail of the sea rat and experiment on yourself?" ”

Benzoin frowned: "Where am I so stupid?" I started with pigs, I stripped the sharp spines off a sea rat, and then drove the pig into the cavern, waited for the pig to get sick, and then pricked it once an hour, and three days later, I took the pig out again, isolated and observed, and found that the pig was fine, and then I slaughtered the pig, checked its lungs, and there were no signs of disease, so I started experimenting on myself. ”

Tang Anshu asked curiously, "And then?" ”

Benzoin smiled: "Then I found out that it can be cured, otherwise I would still be standing here talking to you?" ”

"Oh, yes." Tang Anshu himself laughed.

Benzoin turned around and went to the pot next to him to fill a bowl of soup and handed it to Tang Anshu: "Drink some hot soup, it can dispel dampness, on this island, if you don't pay attention, even if you don't pass on the corpse wind, you will also get wind chill or other diseases." ”

Tang Anshu smelled the fresh fragrance in the soup, took a sip, and praised: "Yes, what is this?" ”

"Pork lung soup." Benzoin looked at Tang Anshu and said with a smile, "It's the pig I said about doing the experiment before." ”

When Tang Anshu heard this, he almost vomited the soup he drank, and the bowl almost fell.

Benzoin held Tang Anshu's hand holding the bowl: "I have drunk this soup, Brother Gu has drunk it, and Dashuai has also drunk it, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Tang Anshu smiled when he heard this: "I understand, this is the same as Natou's name, right?" ”

Benzoin nodded slowly, took her hand, and raised her head again.

Tang Anshu lowered his head to drink the soup, ate the lung slices in the bowl, and handed the bowl to Benzoin.

Benzoin took it and said with a smile: "It's pretty much the same." ”

Who knows, Tang Anshu smiled and said, "Another bowl." ”

Le Zhengxian in the telegraph room was in a daze, he repeatedly read the telegram between Tang Anshu and Qiu Gubo that night, and after making sure that the analysis of the two was completely correct, he began to judge the speculation he made.

What speculation?

That is, the tragedy of the Qu family was slaughtered back then, does it have anything to do with Hu Shen?

It doesn't matter, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? It was only after he became a disciple of Hu Shen that his father's Qu family became involved with "Jinling Jane", resulting in all of them being killed.

Hu Shen's kind face appeared in front of Le Zhengxian's eyes, and his thoughts went back to decades ago......

Under the persimmon tree outside the door of the farmhouse's courtyard, Le Zhengxian was reading a book with his head down: "...... The same is true of the king of the king, who is violent and not selfish, and is the sage of the world, so he can be the king; If the prince of the king is made violent and selfish, then he shall not be the king's uncle. ”

"Jeonghyun." Hu Shen walked behind Le Zhengxian and touched his head.

Le Zhengxian looked up at Hu Shen: "Master, my surname is Le Zheng, a single name Xian, not a surname Le, a name Zhengxian." ”

Hu Shen smiled and said, "Silly boy, Master knows, just screaming like that." Master asks you, do you know what you read? ”

"Yes." Le Zhengxian looked at Hu Shen sitting cross-legged in front of him, ""Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" goes to the private chapter. ”

Hu Shen nodded: "Then do you know what the sage in the text means?" ”

Le Zhengxian replied: "A virtuous and virtuous person." ”
