Chapter 126: Sitting on pins and needles
A very strange thing happened recently, not long after Gu Yuan and others attacked Longkou Pass, all the soldiers fell ill one after another. I can't find the cause, it's not because of miasma, it's not because I take too much meat relics, and I can't get out of bed because of it. As a half-baked man, Gu Yuan once checked the pulse of people who fell ill, and the qi in their bodies was still vigorous, and there was no sign of illness at all, but several people died for no reason.
What made Gu Yuan even more unexpected was that Ah Wu also fell ill, right in front of him, he was talking and laughing a moment ago, but suddenly fell to the ground, especially after late at night, his condition was even more serious, and he almost only had one breath left to hang himself.
Gu Yuan, the person who fell ill, did not find any signs of poisoning in them, and could not find the reason, he could only watch the fresh lives pass away, and there was nothing he could do.
In a tent, Zhu Ming, who had lost a few laps, looked at the many dim figures in front of him, and then said, "Who do you think is responsible for the current situation in the army?"
The few people in the tent, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.
Zhu Ming has been teased by Ah Wu a lot recently, but he is still a military governor, and the people who live with him still have a sense of fear.
"It's a witch!" Zhu Ming saw the expressions of several people in his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since he climbed out of the bottom of the spittoon valley, Ah Wu hadn't walked, and he was riding on his neck.
At night, he had to clean up a vacant space for Gu Yuan to rest, and then he had to clean up for Ah Wu, if it wasn't for the miasma polluted by the water in the Woniu River, and he didn't dare to make a fire at night, I was afraid that he would have to fetch water to wash their feet and wait like a maid.
When did he, a military governor, suffer such a grievance?
His feet were soaked in mud, his hands were full of soybean-sized blisters, and he didn't know how many bruises on his body had been pulled out by Ah Wu with a wooden stick.
Climbing the cliff that day, Ah Wu almost fell off the cliff, and jumped onto the top of the cliff by stepping on his shoulders.
But what about him?
Falling off a cliff, fortunately a vine entangled his body, and he was able to save his life.
Not so bullying.
There is no such bullying!
"Aren't all the witches dead?" asked someone in surprise.
Zhu Ming's eyes glared at him, and his fierce eyes made the latter's heart skip a beat, and he heard Zhu Ming say: "The witch I am talking about is not in Longkou Pass, but there." ”
Zhu Ming's hand pointed in the direction of the Great Wilderness.
"What does that mean?" asked the young man with a cyan birthmark on his face.
Niu Er didn't live in a tent with Zhu Ming, he was called over, saying that the military governor had something to order.
Niu Er had long planned not to have any more dealings with Zhu Ming, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to see what Zhu Ming was up to.
Zhu Ming snorted coldly and said coldly: "The witches I'm talking about are those children. ”
"Huh?" several people were surprised.
"Think about it, is it normal for a healthy person to suddenly get sick and there is no cure?"
Several people in the tent bowed their heads and pondered, feeling that this matter was indeed very strange.
"Only shamans have this means. Zhu Ming said categorically: "They have too many bizarre methods. ”
"What do you mean by saying that those children secretly did something to us?" someone wanted to understand Zhu Ming's words and exclaimed.
"Not bad. Zhu Ming said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, how could so many people die for no reason?"
Zhu Ming suddenly burst into tears and said: "They are all our brothers, and because of a person's hypocritical kindness, they lost their lives in vain!"
The meaning of who this person is couldn't be more obvious.
Several people all showed indignation.
Niu Erhu wondered: "Those children didn't touch us, how did they do it to us?"
"You!" Zhu Ming hated iron and said with hatred: "I was saved by someone, I remember that it was all the good of others."
Let me ask you, did the group of children give us a few cages of rats when we left?"
"There's something wrong with those rats!" everyone except Niu Er exclaimed in shock.
Zhu Ming's face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked a few people to shut down, opened the curtain and looked around outside the tent, and saw that no one was alarmed, so he let out a long breath and pretended to walk back to the tent calmly.
"What is a witch?" Zhu Ming gestured with his hand: "Those are all extremely vicious people, what kind of good things will those children who drink blood and hair?"
"Yes, yes. ”
"I said a long time ago that I couldn't let them go, but that Master Gu didn't listen, our brother died, who is to blame him?"
"Maybe we won't live long!" said Zhu Ming while the iron was hot.
As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the people who exchanged their heads and ears shook, their eyes were full of fear, and they hissed: "How is this good?"
"Who is to blame for us getting to this point?" Zhu Ming said coldly.
The face of the same person immediately appeared in the minds of several people, and a round-faced man shouted: "My lord, what you say, we will all listen to you!"
Zhu Ming didn't answer immediately, but looked at Niu Er, who was still silent, and asked, "Second Brother Niu, what do you think?"
Niu Er is the strongest of his group of soldiers, and if he wants to retaliate, Niu Er must be the object he must woo.
He has felt that Niu Er has been estranged from him a lot recently, which is not a good phenomenon.
Niu Er seemed to be thinking about it, and finally had a somewhat moved look, the corners of Zhu Ming's mouth curled slightly, he knew that this matter was done.
"My lord, what you say you do, I will listen to you. ”
......
Niu Er gave Zhu Ming an idea and chose to do it at the banquet, the timing was the most appropriate, because at that time, people's spirits were the most relaxed.
As for what reason to hold the banquet, Niu Er patted his chest and said that it was just about him.
In order to prevent the rumors from being exposed, Zhu Ming only informed his cronies of the plan, gathered about forty people, and ambushed them outside the tent.
I don't know what method Niu Er used, Gu Yuan really agreed to hold a banquet, saying that he wanted to rush the bad luck in the city, so that the sick person could recover from it and not be disturbed by the strange disease.
The wine was found in a cellar during a carpet search after storming Longkou Pass, and it was all fine pine needle wine. This wine is very strong, after entering the throat, it is like swallowing a handful of pine needles, but it will return to the stomach with an indescribable mellowness, this wine will only brew ten jars a year, but there are more than fifty jars in the cellar, presumably Pang Yuan treasured.
Gu Yuan's generosity to others distributed the wine to all the soldiers, and each drank and had fun in the tent, at first, there was a sad mood in the tent, and soon there was a burst of laughter.
Zhu Ming was fidgeting in Gu Yuan's tent, there were only him and Niu Er at the moment, how could he sit still?
It feels like there's a layer of pins and needles under your butt.
