CHAPTER XII. POISONING 1
One.
It was raining in Old Yaling. Autumn is almost over, and this is when the first rain comes, and the rain is sprinkled all over the cliffs. Accompanied by heavy rain, the destruction quietly began. The roaring thunder resounded throughout the forest, and when the Tianfu Zhai resistors who were lying on the ground to avoid the rain raised their heads, a towering tree in front of them was slowly falling to the ground. Something strange happened, and countless snakes crawled out of the broken trees.
Zhong Douji used to be a bird flying freely in the rivers and lakes for 90,000 miles, wandering around by his own temperament, and when he ran out of money, he would set off to sell some unknown medicines and make some money, and then set off to go elsewhere, living a life in the so-called rivers and lakes. However, one day when he passed by Laoyaling, he unfortunately encountered this group of thieves, was robbed of money, not to mention, and was escorted to the cottage to become the exclusive doctor of Tianfu Village. It's not difficult to do what you have to do as a cottage doctor, usually simply treat some external injuries, but if you can't do it, just wait for death. No one cares about the death of the thieves, the difficulty is to make aphrodisiacs for these leaders, and this is exactly what he is capable of. Therefore, his life in Tianfu Village is like a fish in water.
Today was also a boring day as usual, Zhong Douji looked at the heavy rain outside the window, drinking alone. At this time, the door of the room opened, and a few small minions came in, all of them rained like chickens in soup. To him, these three people are still rats who can be sent away at will.
"What?"
"I was bitten by a snake. ”
"What snake?"
"I don't know. ”
Zhong Douji changed his posture impatiently, looked at their wounds, and a pair of bite marks could be seen on everyone's calves and ankles.
"Did you get the poison out?"
"Sucked. ”
"Then why are you here, give you the medicine, go back and put it on and go to sleep!"
Being bitten by a snake does not necessarily mean that you will die immediately, no, it should be said that it is relatively rare to be bitten by a snake. Depending on the type of snake, the symptoms of poison may be similar, but most able-bodied men will only have a fever for a few days and will be fine. Therefore, Zhong Douji felt that there would be no accidents this time, so he removed his gaze from the wound and got up and asked casually.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt anywhere......!"
The little minion who was talking back looked at Zhong Douji, who was staring at him with wide eyes, but was taken aback.
"What, what's wrong?"
"You really don't feel it?"
"yes. I don't feel ......!"
Blood spurted from the nose and mouth of the little minion who spoke back.
Ma Luoji, a sick scholar, had failed in the imperial examination several times, he felt that he had no face to go home, and his wife was not beautiful and knew that he was murderous, so he simply played around, and was later caught in Tianfu Village. At first, the reason why he was arrested at first was that none of the younger brothers in the green forest could even count, but later his knowledge was appreciated, and now he has mixed up with the level of a military advisor, and everything will be miserable. So, today I was the first to run here after hearing the news.
Ma Luoji took a step into the tent where the patient was lying, then turned around and retreated, and after vomiting on the ground for a long time, he ran directly to the residence of his immediate boss, Yang Bai, the deputy head of the village. He judged that the matter was not something he could solve.
Yang Bai stripped naked early in the morning and rolled around on the bed with a woman in his arms, but was ruined by his subordinate Ma Luoji, and was questioning impatiently at the moment.
"Snakes crawled out of the trees, so what's wrong? Is it normal for snakes to live in broken trees?"
"Yes, but ......!"
"What can be struck by lightning must be a big tree, and the big tree will have a big hole, and if there is no snake in the big hole, then it's called a strange thing, isn't it?"
"Yes, you're right, but ......!"
"The guys who have to go into the thunder are the real fools, they deserve to be bitten by the snake, and it's a blessing not to be hit by the thunder, isn't it?"
"You can say that, but ......!"
"Your biggest flaw is that you can't speak simply and clearly, do you have to ask your mother-in-law and mother for a long time?
If the shortcoming of Marlo Machine is that he speaks in a roundabout way, then Yang Bai's disadvantage happens to be that he speaks too bluntly. Yang Bai is already vicious, and then staring at you with those vicious eyes, who would dare to speak.
"There's nothing so unmistakable in the world, damn it!"
No matter how you scold in your heart, the other party is your boss after all, and he is also the general manager in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Tianfu Village, and he is just a secretary. Marlo could only complain in his heart, but immediately lowered his head and replied carefully.
"Those...... Resistors who were bitten by snakes showed signs of poisoning. ”
"Of course you'll be poisoned if you're bitten by a snake!"
"But that...... It's the first time I've seen ...... symptoms!"
It seems that Yang Bai was very dissatisfied with Ma Luoji's answer, and when he arrived at the door of the tent where there was a patient, he kicked open the door directly and stepped in. Then, he froze in place. The pungent smell of blood filled the room, and the room was bright red. There were three minions bitten by the snake in total, and each of them kept bleeding blood from the seven orifices like a bag full of blood. The blood, which had already stained the bed, began to flow to the floor, leaving the room covered in blood. The Lang Zhong named Zhong Douji was also just standing in the corner blankly, seemingly helpless, rubbing his hands there.
Yang Bai, who boasted that he had been mixing in the rivers and lakes for so many years, was the first time he had encountered so much blood, he stood in place for a long time, and scolded with difficulty.
"What the hell is this!"
"It's a symptom of poisoning. ”
Yang Bai stared at Zhong Douji, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.
"Who doesn't know? I'm asking what kind of snake bite can make it like this!"
"Hmm...... That ......!"
Zhong Douji, who has lived by that mouth all his life, has never said that he doesn't know. When he opens his mouth, he lies repeatedly, which is instinctive.
"I met a friend a few years ago, but I heard about it. The kind of snake with colorful body and a red spot on its forehead seems to be called a colorful red lotus snake, and I heard that if you are bitten by this kind of snake, you will bleed to death......
Zhong Douji explained vaguely as he looked at Marlo Machine. Ma Luoji, who was standing behind Yang Bai, was shaking his head desperately.
Isn't that right?
Zhong Douji hurriedly changed his words.
"There is also a seven-point fire snake that shows the same symptoms...!"
This time Marlo shook his head even harder.
Although Zhong Douji secretly scolded in his heart, he knew that there was a reason for Ma Luoji to deny it like this.
"And being bitten by the seven-point micro white snake and the five-colored cuckoo snake will also make people have this symptom and die......!"
Marlowe finally nodded. Zhong Douji raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and it took a lot of brains to make up four snake names in just a few seconds.
"No matter what kind of snake it is, you have to confirm it first, and it's not clear yet. ”
"What will happen to them?"
The answer is clear.
"I'm going to die soon. ”
Probably feeling that his answer was too exciting, Zhong Dou immediately lowered his voice and added.
"It's unfortunate though. ”
"That can't be helped!"
Yang Bai shook his head, covered his nose and walked out of the room.
"Go and report to the owner of the village!"
Looking at the disappearing figure, Zhong Douji turned his head and asked.
"Why do you keep shaking your head when those snake names are called?"
Marlo smiled and said.
"The Colorful Red Lotus Snake and the Seven-Pointed Fire Snake are real snake species, and they can only be seen in the Miao Jiang area. ”
Zhong Douji stayed for a moment and laughed.
"Hmph, why do I think it's so familiar...... It turned out to be hearsay. If someone in the know heard about it, something almost happened. Why do you think I just made up a snake name for Miao Jiang? ”
Zhong Dou muttered while looking at the three little minions who looked like empty blood bags.
"It was a good weather to watch the rain outside the window and have a few drinks, but now it's good, who will deal with this pile of corpses!
Although they were dying, the three of them were actually still angry, but in Zhong Douji's eyes, they were just three corpses.
What Zhong Dou didn't expect was that something even more unlucky happened the next day.
It was a rainy day, a sunny late autumn morning, a flock of mountain birds, and a crisp autumn atmosphere. Zhong Douji had just woken up from his dream and stretched. Suddenly, there was a foul smell, and Zhong Dou immediately frowned and covered his nose.
"What does it smell like?"
The smell was even more disgusting than yesterday's blood, and Zhong Douji frowned and immediately kicked open the door and drank it.
"Who's shoveling?"
He guessed correctly, it was the smell of, but he didn't guess the second half of the sentence correctly, no one was shoveling, but a few little minions were incontinent. What kind of situation would make an adult in the crotch of his pants? Apparently Chung Doo had the opportunity to know about the situation.
Zhong Douji glared at the little minion in front of him who was twisting his body with a painful expression, and roared angrily.
"Is this a latrine?
"It's not. ”
"Then why here!"
"It wasn't on purpose, it was ......!"
The little minion's expression became more and more esoteric, and the gurgling sound coming from his stomach reached Zhong Douji's ears.
"Take off your pants and pull them again!"
The little minion was about to pull down his pants, but before he could take them off, something disgusting was already squirting out. The disgusting smell polluted the air again, and at this moment, Zhong Douji's expression was more serious than ever. A little more serious than any handsome expression.
It looks like something serious is happening!
Zhong Douji asked.
"How many other people have the same symptoms as you?"
"Everyone who has eaten together today is like this......!"
Zhong Douji's face became very ugly.
"It's poison!"
"Poison, you say?"
Yang Bai's face was even uglier than Zhong Douji's. Things are much more serious than imagined, and now almost all the people in Tianfuzhai are having diarrhea, not to mention, the disgusting smell that envelops the entire cottage is more painful.
The key is that even Li Ying, the owner of Tianfu Village, also walked over with his stomach covered.
"Why?"
Yang Bai stood motionless.
"Investigating!"
Lee's judgment on this is very sharp.
"Is it toxic in the diet?"
Zhong Dou was already testing for poison at breakfast with silver next to him and said.
"Everything we eat is poisonous. ”
Then, he shook his head and said.
"What method did you use to poison all your diet?"
The answer lies in the kitchen, or more precisely in the bucket that was brought in the early morning, and all the meals were filled with water, and this water was brought back in the early morning from a deep well in the heart of the cottage. There was an ominous thing floating in the dark, deep water, and that was a toad.
The toad is already ugly and doesn't make a good impression, but the appearance of this guy in front of him is really disgusting. The uneven skin with eczema is also covered with various red and yellow spikes, and the protruding eyes are half covered by the eyelids, compared to the clear eyes of the frog, the eyes of this toad are cloudy, and the corners of the torn mouth are dripping with turbid liquid, which is not a good stubble at first glance. Such a dangerous creature actually swam around in the well water.
Li Ying looked at the toad he had caught from the well, covered his mouth and retched a few times.
"I drank the water in which this thing swam. ”
Zhong Douji immediately interjected.
"This water is used for all meals, and even if you don't drink it directly, it will have the same effect. ”
Li Ying frowned and glared at Zhong Douji for a while, then waved to Yang Bai.
"Strangle me!"
Zhong Douji was so frightened that he instinctively covered his neck.
"Yes, I'm sorry. If you say the wrong thing, you won't kill me......!"
"Who said they were going to kill you!
Who would have known that there was such a toad in this deep well, but it was just a water, as for the unjust murder of a cook?
Marlo lowered his head and silently complained for the cook in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to say it. After pulling their stomachs all morning, the two little minions whose faces had turned pale ran over angrily, and it didn't take long for a scream to be heard. Maybe everyone is not in a good mood, and at this moment, no one comes out to defend the cook. Soon after, the cook's head hung high on the wall of the door.
At this time, a strange word popped out from Li Ying's innermost.
"Big eyes!"
Everyone didn't know who they were calling, only Yang Bai's face looked like it was burnt.
"Big eyes!"
Li Ying yelled again, his voice full of impatience.
Yang Baimo replied tremblingly.
"Yes, big brother!"
Wang Dayan is another name for Yang Bai when they were still little minions. Although he now has such a well-known name as the Hand of Hades, he has been a thief king with big eyes since the past. However, the person who directly demoted the hand of the king of Hades to the king's big eyes, Li Ying was hooking his finger at Yang Bai. Yang Bai, whose face became darker and darker, slowly walked towards Li Ying.
"Uhh
Li Ying grabbed Yang Bai's temple, and his rude and slender fingers like eagle claws completely suppressed Yang Bai's hairy head, and the eyes exposed through the gaps between the fingers looked extremely frightened. After making Yang Bai like this, Li Ying spit out even more vicious words.
"If something like this happens again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and feed them to the crows!"
Yang Bai was let go, Li Ying walked out of the room, the walking posture looked shaky, it was estimated that he had no strength to get off the hook, but no one around laughed, because there was a Li Ying who was angry next to them, that was the big-eyed Yang Bai of the King of Thieves. At this moment, no one dared to look at him, and after a long time, Yang Bai finally opened his mouth, vented the anger in his heart, and finally spit out a strange word.
"Hateful crow!"
Yang Bai's bloodshot eyes were glaring at Zhong Douji and Ma Luoji, and the two of them trembled and didn't dare to move.
"Hurry up and give me the medicine, and then prepare a countermeasure for me!"
After Yang Bai went out, after a long while, the two of them were still standing in place and did not move. But after Yang Bai completely disappeared in front of him and made sure that no one would eavesdrop, the two of them laughed heartily for a while.
"You know what?"
Zhong Douji was obviously out of breath laughing, but he still asked. Of course, the answer to it is not known to Marlowe.
"What?"
"The so-called Four Heavenly Kings, hahaha. Those four who claimed to be the Four Heavenly Kings had such interesting nicknames. ”
The Four Heavenly Kings refer to the four most powerful masters of Tianfu Village, and they are several righteous brothers including Li Ying, the owner of the village, and they are also in charge of the characters of the entire Tianfu Village. Yang Bai is one of them.
"Hades' hand Yang Bai is Wang Dayan, I have heard this just now, so what is left?"
"Heavenly King Sword Cai Yan is called Wang Da Pig, Overlord Halberd Chen Duo is a chicken, and Blood King Sword Wei Yingwu is a mad dog. ”
The two of them laughed for a long time, especially Marlo Ji, who was so angry that he burst into tears.
"Heheha
"The owner of the village is called a crow, hahaha!"
At the end of the laugh, there is emptiness. Regardless of whether Yang Bai is Wang Dayan or Hades, the identity of the deputy owner of the village will not change, and they are working hard for these Wang Dayan, Wang Da Pig, Little Chicken, and Mad Dog.
"What should I do?"
"You try the medicine first to see if you can cure it, is it feasible?"
"Diarrhea is not a big problem, you can get better without eating, if you want to be cured quickly, those people above cook some jujubes for them to drink, and a few minions below can cook some garlic and make it. ”
"Jujube and garlic...... The effect?"
"It's all the same. ”
"It's ......! By the way, can the water be purified?"
"It's very difficult, it takes a day or two of work to detoxify the contaminated well water. No one knows how many toads there are in the well and what kind of detoxification they use...... can only wait for them to be purified naturally. ”
"Thankfully, it's not deadly. ”
"Really...... Are you sure it's a blessing?"
The two of them looked at each other with an astringent smile.
