Chapter 138: The Corpse in the Swamp

In the days that followed, I tested the water source and found that it was indeed a water problem, but the only thing that was fortunate was that there was no harm after boiling the water, that is, the microorganisms in the water could be killed under high temperatures.

And according to the villagers, they all use water from the same river.

In order to make the villagers more vigilant in the future, I still announced the cause of their illness to everyone, but in order not to cause panic among the villagers, in the end, I did not show them the meat ball, but only verbally warned the villagers not to drink raw and cold water in the future.

The villagers had already crawled back from the ghost gate, and naturally they didn't dare to drink raw and cold water indiscriminately, and they were relieved to hear that as long as the water was boiled before drinking, they were also relieved.

"Teacher, those villagers are gradually improving, none of them died, it seems that the problem of this village has been solved, I heard that Your Majesty wants to hold a banquet for you to show your gratitude, so when are you going to return to the city?"

Yan Rin walked beside me, and I was used to his presence, because since I watched me test the water source that day, Yan Rin had been coming to observe every day, and now even if he suddenly appeared next to me, I would not be surprised.

"Come on! But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done. ”

Anything else?

Yan Rin looked at me suspiciously.

I said, "Since there is a problem with the water source, there must be something in the water that spoils the water source, and I want to check it." ”

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, right? Although this river is only used by the villagers of Shigu Village, the water source flows down from the mountains five miles away, and there is a swamp on the way, and anyone who knows a little about the swamp will not run there to die, so you can't just keep checking up the river, right? ”

"Is there no other way to spare that swamp?" I asked.

"I haven't heard of this, but the reason why that river is only drunk by the villagers of Shigu Village is because of the swamp, because this village is quite close to that swamp, even if you want to move out again, there is no way, so there is no other village in this vicinity except this village, and it may be because of this that those villagers who want to enter the city but are not qualified to live in the city will gather in Shigu to survive, and the more they gather, from a village of more than 100 people to a village of more than 800 people."

Saying that, Yan Rin scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I seem to have said a lot of nonsense, in fact, I just want to say, even if you want to check, you can't find much, at least there is a large section of the situation that you can't find, so why bother to check it again!" Besides, as long as the villagers pay more attention in the future, there should be no problem. ”

And even if something goes wrong, if the technology to save people is too supportive, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Yan Rin added a sentence in his heart.

I smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I don't like to do half of things, since I know the source of the disease, then I should thoroughly investigate, otherwise this matter will only be remembered in my heart, and I will never know the answer, if it will always be this half-tone mentality, it will only form a habit, I don't want me to do everything in the future, I will stop halfway, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Half-toned mentality?

So didn't you just say half-hearted words?

Suddenly, Yan Rin felt ashamed in his heart.

It seems that I still have too much to learn, and too much to have an epiphany.

Yan Rin bowed down to me and said gratefully: "The student understands, remember the teacher's teachings, and never forget." ”

I looked at him and smiled with satisfaction.

This Yan Rin is a talented and intelligent person, although his personality is a little arrogant, but he is not an unreasonable person, as long as you are more reasonable than him, he will naturally stand on your side.

People like this who can change their mistakes and are proactive are a piece of jade, and if they are taught well, they will become great in the future.

"Yan Rin, have you ever thought about leaving the Yan Kingdom and then going to a strange town to learn different medical skills?" I asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Yan Rin was stunned and shook his head: "No, I'm very good in Yan Kingdom, and my master is very good to me, and the relationship between the four countries was so chaotic before, it was impossible to go out, so I didn't think about it at all." ”

"Then you can think about it now, your medical qualifications are good, I can take you as an apprentice, of course, you don't have to rush to answer, before I leave, give me an answer! If you have a plan for yourself, you can be when I didn't say it. ”

Hearing that I was going to take him as an apprentice, Yan Rin's eyes lit up, but then, he said again: "But I heard Dong Ting and Wanyun say, don't you already have a disciple?" ”

"You mean Pingle?" I raised my eyebrows: "He is indeed my medical apprentice, but Pingle is indeed very talented in medicine, but he is also a piece of jade in the construction of that piece, so I want him to double cultivate, but if it is a double cultivation, he may not have much time, on weekdays, when I am in urgent need of manpower, I am afraid he may not be by my side, so I want to train some more medical apprentices who specialize in medical skills." ”

"In this way, I'm Pingle's stand-in!"

Yan Rin suddenly became a little disappointed, originally thought that Zhao Yan had taken a fancy to his talent, but in the end, it seemed that because Pingle didn't have time, he wanted him to get started.

In fact, Zhao Yan is so powerful, as her medical apprentice, Pingle must be very powerful, not to mention that Pingle is still a genius of double cultivation, and his own medical skills can only be said to know some fur, how can he be compared with Pingle.

Thinking like this, Yan Rin was even less confident.

"Stand-in?" I frowned slightly: "Are you thinking too much?" Can you be his stand-in? ”

Hearing this, Yan Rin's heart sank again: "That's right, how can I have this qualification." ”

Looking at his 'defeated rooster' appearance, I glared at him: "You really think too much, I mean, everyone has their own life, there is no substitute for whom, you are you, Pingle is Pingle, your lives are different, why do you have to watch other people's shadows survive?" And if you don't have a little talent, I don't even bother to look at you, so you don't have to lose confidence because of the strengths of others, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can also stand at the top in the future. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, so think about it!"

"Yes, students will think about it." Yan Rin arched his hand.

"But you also have to make a decision quickly, I will leave in about three or five days, after all, I can't stay in Yan Country all the time, and I don't accept apprentices casually, if you miss this village, there may not be this temple, if you want to make your medical skills to the next level, it may be best to worship me as a teacher." As I spoke, I suddenly changed my words: "Okay, let's stop chatting, let's go check the situation of the river!" ”

Behind him, listening to our conversation, Dong Ting and Wanyun, who were not far away, rolled their eyes.

The county lord's method of abducting people is a must.

In front, he kidnapped a Sun Wucheng and a Fu Xiumin, and now he wants to kidnap the new leader of Yan Guo.

is clearly saying that you can think about it, but in fact, you are secretly pressuring, saying that you will leave in three or five days, and saying that if you miss this village, there will be no temple, isn't this clearly saying, will you regret it if you don't go with me?

The county lord is so cheeky......

When you don't have a face, it's a thick one with the wall.

After that, I took Yan Rin along the river and went all the way upstream.

"Teacher, there is a swamp ahead, but there is nothing suspicious along the way, I'm afraid we will go in vain today."

"If you don't have it, forget it, if you don't, we'll ...... back" I sighed and was about to give up, but at this moment, a breeze blew, and the tip of my nose immediately rushed to the tip of my nose with a foul smell.

"Yan Rin, do you smell anything?"

And this taste......

"It seems to be coming from that direction." Yan Rin pointed to the swamp upstream.

I looked at Yan Rin for a moment, then hurried to the swamp, where I found a rotting corpse in the reeds at the edge of the swamp.

I covered my nose with a towel and said, "The deceased has been unrecognizable, his body is covered with worms, and judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, the time of death is at least two months, and this time coincides with the time when the villagers are sick." ”
