Chapter 14: Poisoning
As a graduate of a medical university and has been working as an undertaker for several years, Mu En, who has far more opportunities and experience than ordinary people in contact with corpses, is not afraid of corpses, and similarly, he can see more things from corpses than others.

It was a male corpse, presumably just an adult, and should have died within eighteen to twenty-four hours, with a slight decompose. He was lying face down on the ground, with a piercing wound in his back heart, the blood had clotted, it must have been pierced by some sharp weapon, the wound was not large.
Mu En crouched down and looked at the raised face of the male corpse, a young and immature face, full of fear, but also seemed to have some joy, his eyes had long been out of focus, but they seemed to be looking into the depths of the lonely wasteland. He was dressed in plain, simple coarse cloth clothes, and it didn't fit well, his hands and feet were frostbitten and calloused, and it was clear that he didn't do much work.
(If the clothes can be disguised, then the frostbite, calluses and rough skin on the hands can't be faked, and it is clear that this is just an ordinary teenager, probably a member of a village.) And this kind of ordinary teenager who has just come of age, who will kill him?
At this age, vendetta is unlikely, considering the current situation of the two countries, eighty percent of them are inhumane massacres carried out by hostile armies when they sweep the villages, that is to say, this young man is a deserter, chased by others, and fled into the lonely wasteland to survive.
Based on his death posture and his eerie expression, he should have been killed by a ranged weapon when he felt like he was about to flee, and in terms of the size and shape of the wound, the most likely was an arrow. )
Mu En's mind unconsciously sketched a picture: a young man running away in the wilderness, with a terrible 'demon' behind him, but he fled quickly, gradually out of the 'demon''s field of vision, which made his frightened heart a little excited, and he saw the hope of life.
However, just as he was happy, an arrow came from afar, cut an arc, and pierced his vest in a daze, piercing his heart directly. He fell to the ground, and everything froze in that instant. After a long time, a warrior came to him with a large bow, coldly drew his arrow, and turned away.
As a loyal fan of Conan, Mu En believes in one thing: what has been done will always leave traces, and details will always betray everything. Stripped of all the impossible, the rest no matter how much you don't want to believe it, but that's what you really want.
In fact, this is also another science - disguise, the basic principle of the belief must be as Mu En's trick of pretending to die, from the cause of death, the process, the struggle, to the perspective of the corpse, disguise, expression, etc., must conform to the logical way of death, because the real death is all these things, therefore, the disguise must also be there, only in this way can the disguise be so that others can not see that this is a disguise.
Otherwise, that kind of shoddy sense of disobedience will touch the nerves of the professional for the first time, and then, you will go from playing dead to really dead.
(To put it another way, an ordinary young man who escapes and is chased and killed must only be chased for a short time, because he is not worth the energy of the pursuer, after all, this is in an enemy country.) In the same way, the purpose of the hunt is more to reduce the possibility of whereabouts leaking.
If so, that is, the place where I am standing now should be on the edge of the lonely wasteland. )
Although it was just a simple reasoning, but it gave Mu En a lot of confidence, he thought for a while, and walked in the opposite direction of the boy's fall, if he was fleeing to the center of the Lonely Wasteland, then it was obvious that the direction of his back was the direction of the Lonely Wasteland.
After only a dozen steps, Mu En seemed to think of something again, turned back, he circled the corpse twice, and after making a cross prayer posture on his chest, he squatted down......
He's going to strip his clothes!
The young man's clothes are very large, and if you look at it, they should fit Mu En's body shape, although the top is stained with blood and holes, but the pants and underwear can still be used. The main thing is that although the wolf skin is warm, after all, there is not enough drying and selling, and it is too uncomfortable to stick to the skin, and it is different if there is a body of clothing.
Although I don't know what material it is, the clothes are very rough on the body, and it is very uncomfortable to rub against the skin, but Mu En still feels good after putting on the wolf skin, at least there is no feeling of moisture, and the cold wind is also kept out.
Just a few days of otherworldly life, Mu En's festival has been lost, he misses life on earth, and chooses what he wants to wear, not to keep warm, but to look good. I can eat the food I want, and when I have a bad appetite, I throw half of it away. Also, how soft the bed was and how warm the futon was......
Thoughts fluttered, but the road was still the same, about an hourglass hour later, he found three bodies again, the young couple and a half-old little girl, the little girl was caught in the middle, the three of them hugged each other tightly and were killed, this time it should have been stabbed to death by a random blade, the wounds were scattered, most of them were landed on the young couple's body, the little girl in the middle of them did not have many wounds, but the fatal wound was through the little head.
A lot more than just killing, more for abuse.
Looking at this little face before death, pain and fear were intertwined, Mu En's expression instantly turned cold, he could imagine the terrible experience of this family before death: a group of pursuers surrounded this family of three with spears in hand, they frolicked and wanted to kill the little girl first, the weapon was lightly stabbed, but was blocked by the young couple with their bodies, again and again, when they were tired of playing, in the heart-rending pain of the couple, the little girl was killed.
This is no longer killing in war, this is torture, killing just for fun.
The pursuers are a bunch of brutes.
Mu En was angry, far more angry than when he saw the young man's corpse before, his conscience and the morals he had cultivated on earth made him unable to accept the facts in front of him, but when things happened, he couldn't do anything.
With the wolf's tooth stone in hand, Muen began to dig a pit in the ground, the frozen soil of the lonely wasteland was extremely hard, and it took him a long time to dig a large enough hole, and then, he dragged his family of three into it, and filled it with dirt.
(If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be reborn on Earth, although life there is still difficult, but at least if you work hard, you can live!)
After doing all this, Mu En set off again, this time, he was a little silent, and in a short time, he saw more corpses, men, women and children, and there were various ways of death, but most of them were tortured and killed unarmed and unable to resist.
After seeing too much, Mu En was a little numb, maybe this world is like this, so cruel, if he wants to live, he has to learn to adapt.
Mu En chose the right one and equipped himself with clothes and shoes, for which he was stung twice by a beetle about the size of a thumb, about the shape of a scorpion, but with two scorpion tails, while turning the corpse, and he was stoned to death with a fanged stone.
This kind of bug, Mu En didn't know, maybe he was a little upset and irritable by these corpses, and he didn't care too much, but after only a moment, he knew that something was wrong, he was poisoned!
On the left arm, the two side-by-side wounds that were stung out were already red and purple, swollen and tall, and the whole arm began to gradually go from numbness to loss of feeling, even if Mu En cut the wound with the tail vertebrae to open the blood, there was no pain, and more importantly, he felt very thirsty, his body was a little heavy, and his head was a little dizzy.
The first moment it felt wrong, Mu En ate the remaining half of the golden lettuce, and the huge vitality it brought made Mu En's body begin to improve, and the huge energy in his body was supporting, and his head could think clearly. However, the golden lettuce is not an antidote after all, and the left arm still does not feel it, and the scorpion venom still exists, but it is only temporarily suppressed.
Thinking like this, Mu En could only try his best to hurry, he had to find a doctor who could cure the scorpion venom before the vitality of the golden lettuce disappeared, otherwise, only death could await him.
The threat of death was high, Mu En was very frightened, his steps were in a hurry, and gradually the surrounding environment began to change, the fanged stones began to disappear, and various vegetation gradually appeared on the land, except for lettuce, plants and trees gradually increased, although it was a cold winter, most of them were yellow, but the scenery had changed after all.
Muen noticed this, but didn't have time to rejoice that he had come out of the Lonely Wasteland, his steps began to stagger and slower, his head getting heavier and heavier, his eyes staring into the distance, his blurred vision hoping to find something.
And in fact, he really found that there seemed to be a person in the distance, the cause of poisoning, he didn't see it too real, it seemed, this person also found Mu En, he seemed to have a bow and arrow in his hand, and he was really opening his bow and arrows to shoot into the sky, and the direction was exactly ...... Myself.
Mu En only felt that his brain was like crazy to accept the feeling of danger, as if death would come in the next second, as soon as his feet were weak, he fell to the ground, and an arrow grazed his back, no pain was felt, but the cold wind was stronger, and it seemed that the wolf skin was cut.
Mu En lay motionless on the ground, feeling a group of people approaching, and more as if he saw death approaching......
