Chapter 266: Choking
It didn't take long to rush to the room, and as the crowd poured into the lounge, which had only a bed and a small table, the shopkeeper was calling anxiously to her father. Cheese's gaze swept across the floor, and the plates and wooden dishes that fell on the floor should be the origin of the sound they heard. The people of this town have a special preference for woodwork, and of course it may just be easier to use local materials. His gaze fell back to the main body of the room, the man lying on the bed, he should be forty or fifty years old, probably because he was not a lumberjack, and although the beard on his face was neglected, he was much more regular than Bunyan's free-growing one, and from the exposed eyebrows, he could still see the resemblance to his daughter, presumably he must have had a good appearance when he was young.
"Father, what's wrong with you, father!" cried out the man's daughter. The man was lying on the bed convulsing, his face was hideous, his facial features were twisted together, and he had more air out of his mouth and nose and less air in. Even when he heard his daughter's voice, all he could do was swing his body wildly, even though it looked more like a corpse's dying spasms to outsiders.
"Atta, get her out of the way. "The top priority is to save people. In fact, there is no need for cheese to say, the female swordsman has already stepped forward and half-pulled and half-dragged the other party out of the window. Before the mage stepped forward to check the man's condition, Jian Qi had already grabbed the man's wrist with one hand and reached under his nose with the other. The skill and movements of this sword-seeker surprised Cheese a little, and looking at the posture, the former seemed to know how to deal with it.
"It's phlegm stuck in my throat. It only took Kenqi a second or two to make a judgment, he rolled over to the man's head, put his hands under his shoulders, and gently lifted the human body.
"You strangle his abdomen from behind, and I'll put pressure on his chest. Knowing what the problem was, Cheese immediately took action, he didn't doubt Kenqi's judgment, maybe subconsciously, this person with the same skin color as him would naturally be more trusted. The rescue of two people is very fast, and they can't be unhappy, and the suffocation that is blocked by the trachea is very dangerous in the absence of equipment that can be helped, and it is purely human-based rescue. Although the two of them had used the correct method to apply pressure to the man's chest and abdomen, and used the only remaining breath in his stomach to hit the trachea, no one could say whether the remaining breath was enough.
"Vomit, poof!" turned his head sideways to avoid the yellow phlegm flying out of his face, and the man's breath was saved. Seeing that his breathing gradually returned to normal, the cheese signaled that Jian Qi did not need to continue, this rescue method of compressing the abdominal cavity did quite a lot of damage to the rescued, if it weren't for the man's qi was still sufficient, maybe the mage would break his ribs in the repeated compression.
"It's okay, let her come over. The two of them stood up and said to Atta, who was holding the female shopkeeper so that she couldn't rush over. The female swordsman nodded, and as soon as she let go, the person in her arms had already rushed over. The three of them looked at each other and left the room one after another, the father and daughter needed some time to accept what had just happened, and they did not need the help of outsiders in the process of accepting it.
The three of them who sat back at the table silently continued their dinner, Kailas at the table with one eye open and one eye closed, and what had just happened did not escape the hearing of the cat demon Elf. After a moment, it was Atta who spoke first, "That man, you're so unlucky. Although it is a little inappropriate, but when you sleep, you can get stuck in your throat by your own phlegm, and this way of dying is really, delicately. ”
"yes, a subtle way to die. Because it wouldn't have happened to normal middle-aged people. The throat is stuck in its own secretions, causing it to suffocate, which is something that only old people with decaying bodies can do. Cheese whispered that he was thinking about the origin of this deranged death, and that didn't make sense, did it? A middle-aged person in good health shouldn't be in such a situation.
"It's not impossible. Jian Qi joined the discussion, "The old man has this phenomenon because his body functions have been put to the lowest level, and his body has lost most of its vitality, so his muscles are relaxed and his blood and qi are weakened. However, it is not impossible for this to happen to younger people, and serious illness and exhaustion can have similar effects. At least by the time I went to lift the shopkeeper up, he was noticeably much lighter than he should have been. Coupled with the fact that he has many folds in his skin, that's proof of the rapid weight loss and the fact that his skin doesn't have time to react. There is reason to believe that this incident was not so accidental. ”
"You also have research in medicine?" said Cheese with some surprise, in his opinion, it is not surprising that people like Atta Kenqi need to know how to first aid and emergency methods when they are alone all year round, but a lot of first aid knowledge is one-sided, people only know what to do to deal with this symptom, and they neither know nor care about why they do it or how the symptoms appear.
Jian Qi shook his head slightly, "That's not true. It's just that the martial arts I studied involved an understanding of the human body, as well as an understanding of myself. With the progress of martial arts, we can get a glimpse of this. ”
Cheese accepted this statement, and there are only two kinds of people who are familiar with the human body in this world, one is the one who kills and the other is the one who saves people. Warriors who are proficient in combat skills and know how to introspect more or less understand the mysteries of the body. Kenqi's martial arts are also taught by the family, and it is conceivable that there are not only moves as simple, just like knight training will also spell the knight's creed into the heart, many of the skills themselves have the ability to change people's perspective on the world. Different perspectives can bring different possibilities, and some complex problems may be simple from other perspectives.
"So, what do you think about this?" As the Swordseeker had said before, the decay of the flesh may have been the main reason for what had just happened. So, what causes the decay of the human body?
Jian Qi thought for a few seconds, and said with some hesitation, "I'm not sure." But this doesn't look like a simple accident in any way. But if it is said to be a plague, the symptoms are too unique. Could it be a mess?"
Mischief means that there is something that is not known to humans behind this matter. This statement is quite rare in Cheese's impression, after all, as a gray robe, the world he comes into contact with is basically a mixture of people and gods, strictly speaking, his own actions can basically be called trouble. However, the mage could understand Kenqi's thoughts, and the situation in Yufa Town was obviously unnatural, otherwise he wouldn't want to find out. It's just that the process didn't go well, and the townspeople rejected him, perhaps only mostly.
The teary-eyed proprietress walked out of the lounge with the food she had picked up from the floor. She put those things on the counter for the time being, solemnly walked to the table of several people, and bowed deeply.
"Please save my father. ”
