We talked bitterly to Second Master Qi for an hour, but he still refused to let go, Wen Qingshan had to say: "Second Master Qi, whether you believe it or not, what I just said is definitely not alarmist, the Black Demon Sect does exist, if they plan to open the treasure, the people of Qiping Village will inevitably be their biggest obstacle, these guys are ruthless, it is difficult to say what cruel things they will do." If you are willing to cooperate with us to unearth the treasure, not only will you avoid the scourge of the villagers from these guys, but the state will also have a large reward, why not? ”

However, Second Master Qi kept his head buried and didn't say a word, just desperately inhaled his dry smoke, Wen Qingshan shook his head helplessly. Huang Yixian said to the two of us: "I don't think Second Master Qi has figured it out yet!" It's really a bit difficult for him to handle such a big matter for a while. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to Second Master Qi and said, "Second Master Qi, the Bai family has guarded this treasure for more than 300 years, and it's time for it to see the light of day again, you can't let all those gold and silver treasures rot in the ground, right?" That's a terrible thing! It is better to open the treasure and hand it over to the state than to fall into the hands of the bastards of the cult. We've said what needs to be said, you can think about it again, and we'll come back tomorrow. ”

After saying goodbye to Second Master Qi, we returned to the residence of the village committee, and learned that we failed to convince Second Master Qi, everyone was a little disappointed, and Seabeard couldn't help but speculate: "Since Second Master Qi also knows the secret of the treasure, will he be in the same group as those guys from the cult?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately denied: "Impossible! Second Master Qi is by no means such a person! ”

Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a secret, in fact, I also had such suspicions, but then I thought about it carefully, if he was really a member of the cult, then it shouldn't stop us from breaking ground in the village to find treasures." ”

"What do you mean by that?" No one understood.

Wen Qingshan explained: "Because although the people in the cult know that the treasure is hidden in the chessboard valley, they don't know where it is, and now I am afraid that only we know where the treasure may be hidden, so I think that the people in the cult should be waiting for us to excavate, so that once the location of the treasure is determined, they can reap the benefits." ”

"You mean, the people of the Black Demon Cult are still watching us secretly?"

Wen Qingshan nodded.

I was a little puzzled and said, "But, if we really found the treasure first, what else could they do, could it be that they could still come and rob it?" Anyway, there are hundreds of villagers in the village! ”

"Shi Yu is right! Boss Wen, I think you are too careful, since the people of the Black Demon Sect have listened to us, they should have known that the treasure is hidden in the village, but there is no movement. Maybe they were scared and decided to give up. ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and asked Huang Yixian: "Master Huang, do you think these guys seem to be greedy for life and afraid of death?" During the War of Resistance Against Japan, they even did not hesitate to collude with the Japanese Black Dragon Society and killed many anti-Japanese volunteers. Not to mention that the treasure was buried under the village, even if it had been put in the bank vault, they probably wouldn't give it up so easily. ”

As soon as he said this, my brain suddenly stirred, and I exclaimed: "Boss Wen, do you think these guys will attack the villagers of Qiping Village in order to get the treasure?" ”

When I said that, everyone was taken aback.

Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "This is exactly what I am worried about, so we have to excavate the treasure and hand it over to the state as soon as possible." Only in this way can the villagers of Qiping Village be safe. ”

We were chatting, and suddenly there was a quick knock on the door, Huang Yixian was slightly stunned, and said, "Who locked the door of the hall?" "After all, the place where we live is a village committee, which can be regarded as a public place, so the door of the hall is usually not locked.

Wen Qingshan explained: "I locked it when I came back just now, so that no one would sneak in and eavesdrop." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked outside, everyone following him.

The door opened, but it was Bai Sanyuan, who was holding the door frame with one hand, gasping for breath, as if he had been running all the way.

"Brother Sanyuan, why are you here?" Huang Yixian asked.

Bai Sanyuan said eagerly: "I...... My dad asks you to hurry over and get out of ...... Something went wrong......"

"What's wrong?" Huang Yixian hurriedly asked.

"A lot of people in the village are ...... Suddenly became ill, and now they are all in the village infirmary, and Jeong-min has no idea now. ”

Bai Zhengmin is a doctor in the village infirmary and the only person in Qiping Village who has a doctor's license.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately turned my head to look at Wen Qingshan and said, "Boss Wen, it shouldn't be someone from the Black Demon Sect!?" ”

Wen Qingshan's expression was extremely solemn, he pondered for a moment and said, "Go!" Let's go to the infirmary. He took a few steps forward, then turned to Seabeard and said, "Brother Hai, you and Niu Yanzi will stay behind to guard it, so that the people in the cult will not come to make trouble again." Apparently, he was worried that someone would secretly install a bug in the room again.

Seabeard and Fat Cow nodded immediately.

Bai Sanyuan led a few of us straight to the village infirmary.

Before we reached the village infirmary, we saw from afar that dozens of villagers had gathered in front of the infirmary, including men and women, old and young, some of them holding their stomachs, some holding their heads, and their expressions were very painful. And the only doctor in the infirmary, Bai Zhengmin, was busy going back and forth, and he was already sweating profusely. Second Master Qi and several villagers who didn't seem to be sick stood aside, constantly comforting everyone, but they were also at a loss.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Bai Sanyuan exclaimed: "What...... How did so many people gather all at once? When I came to call you just now, there were only a dozen of them. ”

"It can't be a mass food poisoning, right?" Cheap speculated.

I said, "The people in the village haven't gathered together to eat these days, how can there be collective food poisoning!" In my opinion, maybe it's some kind of acute epidemic. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Second Master Qi happened to look up and saw us, he immediately greeted us, and after approaching, he said anxiously: "Professor Wen, Huang Daochang, you two have seen the world and know a lot of things, help them take a look, what kind of disease is this!" ”

Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian didn't say a word, the two immediately walked quickly towards the villagers, Wen Qingshan grabbed the wrist of a villager nearby, checked his pulse for him, turned his head and said to Huang Yixian: "His pulse is very chaotic, it seems that there is a ball of qi that is rushing into his body." ”

Huang Yixian lowered his head and asked the villager: "Fellow, where are you uncomfortable?" ”

The villager closed his eyes tightly and said with a painful expression: "I...... My skull hurts, and my stomach is ...... The stomach is swollen too much, so I ...... It was as if it was about to explode. ”

They asked several other villagers, and they basically all had the same symptoms, such as unbearable bloating and splitting headaches.

Huang Yixian asked Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, what kind of disease do you think they have?" ”

Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "I'm afraid they are not sick, but they have been poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned!?" Huang Yixian was taken aback.

Second Master Qi was busy asking on the sidelines, "What is Gu Poison?" ”

Wen Qingshan turned his head and asked him, "Second Master Qi, do you remember how Bai Xiaowu died?" ”

As soon as he heard Wen Qingshan mention Bai Xiaowu, who died violently yesterday, Second Master Qi's face suddenly turned pale, and he stammered, "You...... You mean, he ...... They were all ...... Then what kind of Gu bite? ”

Wen Qingshan nodded: "So to speak." ”

Second Master Qi sat down on the ground and muttered, "It's difficult...... Could it be that our Baijia Village is really going to be wiped out? ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Second Master Qi will listen to me first, there are many kinds of Gu, and Bai Xiaowu may be the most powerful Golden Silkworm Gu, except for those who are under Gu, it is difficult for ordinary people to cure." But the people in the village should be ordinary poisonous insect Gu, as long as they find a way to drive out the Gu worms in their bodies, they should be able to recover. ”

"Boss Wen, don't you still know how to drive away Gu?" Huang Yixian was a little surprised.

Wen Qingshan said: "In order to study the cause of death of the camel, I consulted a lot of information, had an understanding of Gu poison, and also mastered some methods to expel Gu poison. ”

When Second Master Qi heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, he suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of Wen Qingshan, his lips trembled slightly, and he said excitedly: "Professor Wen, you have to save everyone no matter what, and the lives of our whole village are all up to you." ”

"Second Master Qi, please get up, Wen can't afford it! You can rest assured, Wen will definitely do his best! ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly helped Second Master Qi up, turned to Bai Sanyuan who was standing on the side, and said to a few young men who had no symptoms of Zhong Gu: "Brother Sanyuan, I have to trouble a few of you to help me get a few things." ”

Bai Sanyuan immediately said, "What does Professor Wen need, just ask!" ”

"I need realgar, garlic, and by the way, spirits! The higher the alcohol content, the better. ”

"Good! Good! Let's go. Bai Sanyuan led a few young men to turn around and run away.

Wen Qingshan said to me and the cheap again: "You two go and dig some earthworms in the soil, the more the better!" ”

There was a vegetable patch next to the village infirmary, and I immediately took a wooden pot from the infirmary, and we didn't care that the green peppers in the vegetable field were growing well, so we ran directly into the vegetable field and dug up.

There are a lot of earthworms in this field, and in a short time, we have already dug up half a pot.

Looking at the earthworms wriggling back and forth in the wooden basin, he asked, "Brother, it's all too much, it should be enough." ”

"Take it and show it to Boss Wen!"

The two of us ran back to the door of the infirmary with a wooden basin, and Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian were helping the villagers of Zhonggu with acupuncture.

I stepped forward and asked curiously, "Uncle Shi, Boss Wen, what are you doing?" ”
