Chapter 9: Poisoning
There were a few people lying on the ground, their posture was not elegant, and there were all kinds of boxes stacked around them, one of which was open, and one of Li Xin's hands was still on the box. The distance between the two sides was only more than ten meters, judging from the distance, they should have collapsed to the ground shortly after the first cabin, and with the skills of these few people, if they were attacked by someone, it would be extremely difficult to be knocked down at the same time in such a short time.
Therefore, Wang Ling reminded Zheng Jiuwu, who was about to step forward, to be careful of deception, the latter was holding the dagger and moving slowly, while the group of people standing behind him didn't dare to take a breath, God knows if they were attacked or pretending to be dead?
The closest one to the ground was the second child, Zheng Jiuwu kicked lightly with his foot, and after making sure that there was no reaction, he squatted down and put his hand against his neck artery, and then gently opened his eyelids and looked at it carefully, then turned around and signaled: "There is still gas, it is indeed dizzy." ”
As soon as they heard that the other party had lost their threat, several people rushed over one after another, but the strange thing is that on the surface, they had no obvious external injuries, and there were no signs of a fight around them, so why were they all knocked down in a good manner? Could it be the tenth "man" who has been hidden?
The atmosphere was eerie and tense, and the air here seemed to have not been circulated for a long time, and there was an indescribable musty smell.
"Hey, what's this?" Lao Pi was attracted by Li Xin's hand in the box, judging from the style, it should be a small box, and the corner of the box has been opened, and she is still holding it in her hand at this time. Look down at the box again, good guy, as soon as the lights shine, there is a brilliant jewel, looking at the old skin's face, he suddenly distorted and said: "Hair, hair!" We're fucking posting! ”
This excitement has to open the box, there must be more than a dozen such big boxes in this cabin, it seems that what Li Xin said is really right, this is wealth, countless wealth! It's a group of hungry people, just like a pack of wolves seeing sheep, and the poet's eyes are almost green, who can keep their composure in front of all this real money? What's more, this is just a few young people around twenty years old, people's love of money is an instinct, especially for men, after saying that, Lao Pi was ready to go in and rummage through the cabinets, but Wang Ling drank and said: "Slow, don't forget the lesson of falling gold coins!" ”
"Can that be the same thing?" The old leather didn't raise his head and said: "Don't you both say that this is a sea burial ship, then these things are the relics of the pirates, maybe they are the wealth left by Wang Zhi's pirate leader!" God, it's really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, these things are genuine, we should have food and clothing for a few lifetimes, right? ”
At this time, it seems that he is a little too pretended to stop anything, but Wang Ling still set his eyes on those people first, Zheng Jiuwu has never given up, and the two of them have plunged into several boxes, where is the scene to sweep away the previous weirdness, as if the hardships suffered these days are worth it in front of these things, but it is really a man who dies for money and a bird dies for food!
"Poisoning," slowly, Zheng Jiuwu pulled out the silver needle in his hand, under the faint light of the flashlight, the position of the needle tip was slightly blackened, and it was still in Li Xin's throat. He cast his eyes on the box, and then at a glance, the two goods had already eagerly opened one of the boxes, these boxes were sealed a little firmly, and they needed to be torn hard, and the planks shattered with a "bang", followed by a puff of dust.
"Bah, bah......" Lao Pi kept fanning the ashes rising in front of him with his hand, and before he could stretch out his hand, he heard Zheng Jiuwu shouting: "Don't touch it, it's poisonous!" ”
Lao Pi just turned his head in response, and then he only felt that his black body suddenly collapsed, and the poet simply fell to the ground without even humming. Seeing this scene, Wang Ling's face also changed, and he thought about rushing over with Zheng Jiuwu to save people, but he didn't want the old Zheng to tilt his head and sit down paralyzed before he got up from the ground.
Wang Ling saw this scene, and immediately subconsciously patted himself, he thought that it would be his turn next, lying in such an ownerless ship on this vast sea and still poisonous, when did he ever think that he would leave this world like this. Maybe no one will find out in a few years, maybe when they are discovered, they are just a pile of bones, thinking of this, he can't help but start to be overshadowed, he actually felt that he didn't even have the strength, and sat down straight......
I thought that I would go with him, but after about a cigarette, Wang Ling found that he had nothing to do with his good arms and legs, neither dizzy nor sleepy, so he quickly went to check Zheng Jiuwu, whether it was shaking or shouting, the person was like sleeping and dying, and he generally didn't wake up.
This is strange, not only are all the people who come in together poisoned, is it possible that he is born with a physique that is different from ordinary people and can not be poisoned? Wang Ling thought that he didn't have that ability, so he began to cast his eyes on the cabin, and suddenly remembered the words that Lao Zheng shouted before he fell. Could it be that the owner of these treasures deliberately poisoned them in order to prevent someone from stealing them later, and the people who came into contact with the treasures were put down in a daze before they understood what was going on, but this is not right? He is obviously with Zheng Jiuwu, so it stands to reason that he is fine?
In order to confirm his guess, Wang Ling thought about it, and simply picked up the brocade box in Li Xin's hand with a horizontal heart. This box is beautifully shaped, and from the appearance alone, it should be wrapped in fine silk, but unfortunately after a long time, the outer layer has been destroyed, and only the wood inside is exposed. Holding it in the hand, judging from the naked eye alone, it should be carved from the whole Huanghuali tree.
The wood products of the Ming Dynasty are the most valuable in Huanghuali, and this box alone is afraid that it is worth a lot of money, and one end of the box has been opened, he simply pulled it open to see, and the same is a burst of dust. It was this burst of dust that made Wang Ling feel a sigh in his heart, this box was stored in the box, judging from the scene, these boxes should not have been opened, and the dust would not be so thick, he gently put his nose up, and he didn't know if it was the box or other reasons, and vaguely smelled a faint fragrance.
If this thing is poisonous, he should have a reaction now, but there is still nothing good at all, Wang Ling is wondering, is it true that he is a descendant of Wang Zhi as Li Xin said, so he was protected by the ancestors? He immediately shook his head, this idea was obviously impossible, and suddenly he suddenly thought of the "bacon" hanging outside, and he vaguely remembered that when the old skin touched those bacon, there was also a burst of "dust"!
And those "bacon" themselves are problematic, such as how they have been hung here for hundreds of years without rotting, and the ancients usually achieved this effect by applying some preservatives. In underdeveloped ancient times, there were often people who used a method to kill people and achieve the goal of escaping justice.
He once saw a story in the history of the wild, about a pair of adulterers**After their adultery was exposed, ** gave their husband a tomato and died after eating it, and was later judged by the people at the time to die of arsenic poisoning. And arsenic is a controlled product in ancient times, where did this ** get arsenic became the biggest question in the case, and finally the clever man found that as long as a commonly used preservative and tomato are mixed together, the toxicity of arsenic will be produced, and these two things will not have any toxicity when used alone.
At that time, the ancients did not understand that this was the result of chemical reactions, Wang Ling also consulted a new teacher in the school at that time, and the teacher told him that when potassium arsenate meets vitamin C, it will react into arsenic trioxide, which is the main component of arsenic, as long as the amount is large enough to kill people, and the use of potassium arsenate in China can be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, at that time, this thing was specially used for antiseptic.
In the agricultural monograph "Qi Min Yaoshu" compiled by the agronomist Jia Siqian at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is said that the realgar and orpiment are ground into powder, which is mixed with glue cement and soaked in paper to prevent insects and beetles.
The non-decay of those corpses is very likely to be the effect of the same kind of medicine, and these treasures are mixed with another substance, when someone passes through the second deck, the body will inevitably come into contact with the dense "bacon", but those who have not encountered danger will relax their vigilance, and go down to the third layer to open these treasures Death is already waiting.
And the box in his hand confirmed his guess, after the box was opened, Wang Ling was surprised to find that there was a very delicate launch mechanism inside, like the structure of a bow and crossbow, as long as there was an external force to open the box, the mechanism inside would be triggered, and there was still a lot of powder in a small pocket similar to a skin sac......
And at the same time, he also understood why he was fine, thinking that when the old skin hit the bacon, he walked in the front, and covered his nose with his hand, so that he escaped without dying. After taking a breath, Wang Ling secretly rejoiced and began to have a headache at the same time, looking at the appearance of these eight people, he suddenly made a difficulty, he didn't know how to use medicine, God knows what kind of poison it is, and to what extent it is poisonous, this is really called: Heaven should not be called the earth and the earth!
