CH.042 Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
Everyone talked, drank wine and ate meat around the bonfire, time passed quickly, and everyone went home.
After breakfast the next day, Yashan was still tidying up at a villager's house, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, Yashan put on his clothes and saw many villagers running towards the east entrance of the village. Yashan grabbed a villager: "What's the matter?"
"Oh no, something happened to Xianquan, early this morning the people from the Yueguo Mansion came to fetch water, and a servant died of thirst and water. The villager stomped his feet and ran away.
"This immortal spring water can still drink the dead, isn't something bad happening? Yashan looked shocked. "This accident happened to the people in the Yue Guo Mansion, and they originally wanted to follow their convoy to the Yue Guo Mansion together. Why don't you call it to quit getting drunk and see what the reason is?"
Coming to the spring well, the villagers gathered in a heap, and a middle-aged man was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he was lying on the ground without any breath.
The village chief Ma Youcai was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, constantly turning around.
Quit drunk and called Qiu Xiang and Yanhong: "Look at this person should have died of poisoning, you know medical science, you can go and help take a look." ”
Ma Youcai heard what he said to quit drunkenness, and hurriedly brought Qiu Xiang to the dead servant, who straightened up, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while. Qiu Xiang took a needle bag from her body, took out four silver needles, and pierced the deceased's Adam's apple, Baihui acupoints, temples, fingertips, and the roots of the silver needles turned black, indicating that the poison instantly spread all over the body through the spring water at the entrance, and immediately caused death. The bright red on the side ripped open the deceased's hair, and found that there was black blood coagulated behind the deceased's ears.
"There is no doubt about the death from poisoning, and as for whether it is related to the spring water here, it needs to be verified. ”
"If there are any rabbits or roosters in the village, you can feed them some spring water and try it. Qiu Xiang wiped her hands.
After a while, a chicken was caught, and the villagers fed the rooster some water, only to see that the cockscomb shrank rapidly, the head of the chicken fell to one side, and the tongue fell out, bleeding out.
"The water is no longer drinkable. Akika said, "The spring water is poisonous. ”
"The genealogy records that this immortal spring can exist for a hundred years, and the time has not yet come, and how can it become poisonous?" the villagers discussed, generally unwilling to believe that what was happening in front of them was real.
Quing drunkenness circled around the spring well a few times, and found that there was no fairy qi that the village chief said, and a crack was cracked in the arched stone around it, and a small meandering green stream fell into the spring well in the gap, and Qu Drunk whispered to the village chief for a while. The village chief asked someone to bring a shovel: "Folks, this fairy spring is a blessing left to us by our ancestors, I don't know why the blessing of more than 20 years in the village has been folded like this." I just discovered that dark green water was flowing from the stone wall at the mouth of this spring, and this water was poisonous, and I don't know where it seeped out. I propose to pry open the cracks in this stone wall to see what is going on and what the reason is. Do you think it's okay?"
After some discussion, the villagers agreed to the village chief's proposal.
The village chief called the black ox with the greatest strength in the village to pry open the stone wall, and found the soil behind the stone wall, and the green liquid seeped out from the soil around the spring well, and gathered together to form a trickle, and many fine roots poked their heads out of it, and there were some small green water droplets hanging on the roots.
"What kind of plant is this?" said Yashan.
The village chief on the side stretched out his hand to tear it down and take a look, quit getting drunk and hurriedly stopped it, but it was too late, the village chief tore off a small root, and the green liquid was quickly absorbed by the skin, and his hand suddenly turned black. The roots that had oozing green liquid shrank back and disappeared into the soil, and the mud without the support of the root system fell into the well. Qu drunk and frightened, took the knife he carried, cut a cut on the village chief's hand, black blood flowed out of his hand, I don't know how long, the blood began to become a little red, quit drunk pulled the village chief's hand, opened the wine gourd, and poured liquor into the wound on the village chief's hand "suddenly". The village chief cried out in tears, "It hurts, it hurts." ”
"This is the tea wine you brew here, all things are born and restrain each other, the evil tree species attracted by the fairy spring, the fairy spring water should have an effect. ”
Sure enough, the color of the skin on the village chief's hand was not as black as it was just now, and Yanhong took out some snow lotus powder from the medicine on his body and sprinkled it on the wound on the village chief's hand, and took out gauze to bandage the village chief.
"What kind of tree is this?"
The village chief was very angry and told the villagers to go home and get hoes to see what kind of tree it was.
"You still have to be careful, the sap infiltrated by the roots of this tree is very toxic, the entrance is dead, and it will be poisoned when touched, and when you don't think of a good way, it's best not to act rashly. Yashan said on the side.
Qu was drunk and looked at the soil next to the spring well, and there were no other different roots except for the roots that had just moved.
Quit drunk whispered to the village chief.
The village chief looked at the car of the Guogong Mansion and said something to the servants, so he called a few middle-aged people to carry buckets to the place where the plants were more dense by the spring well, and several buckets of spring water were dumped into it.
The plants withered one after another, and only patches of green clumps of grain essence grass became more and more vivid and bright under the irrigation of the spring water, and the color was bright and lush.
"It seems to be these grain essence grasses. The village chief shouted.
The grass grows in clumps, generally shorter than ordinary plants, with a thick root system and many branches, but the grass on the ground is very small. It is difficult to remove, and during normal weeding, due to the huge roots of the grass, the soil is generally not pulled, and if it is left in the soil, new shoots will quickly grow and leaves will emerge. The roots are buried so deep that they cannot be pulled out by hand, even with a hoe. The root system of the grass is very developed, a cluster of grass roots are connected to small roots, and the roots are countless, as long as there is a little root regardless of the thickness and length, as long as it remains in the soil, it will quickly take root and spread again, Mr. Long roots, and then sprout leaves, wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. The vitality is very tenacious.
What to do?
"It is said that the grass must be cut to the roots, and the grass cannot be removed at all, but the leaves can only be removed frequently, and the roots are simply connected into a network throughout the ground, and now it is highly poisonous and will move. There's no way around it. "The village chief was very distressed.
Indeed, the poisonous grass juice and spring water have just been mixed together, and the water can poison not only people but also plants, which does not seem to work with a hoe and sickle. If you attack with fire, the fire can burn the weeds, although the roots will run, but the grass growing on the ground should not be able to move, and it can only remove some leaves on the surface, and there is no way to hurt the root system of this grain essence grass at all.
