Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

It is said that a group of people wanted to go to the mountains to find some food. Life was difficult in those days and no one could get enough to eat. As long as they could get some food, they would dare to go to the mountains no matter how dangerous it was.

The able-bodied laborers from several villages were gathered together and divided into several teams to go to different mountains to find food. If they did not unite at that time, they would have starved to death or been killed by the bandits.

Ten strong laborers went to Dahei Mountain. These ten men brought down prey and some mountain products, proving that the resources of this mountain are quite good and they can go there frequently in the future. None of these ten men came out injured, so they seem to be quite safe.

That night, all ten people fell ill, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and their faces gradually turned blue and black. It didn't take long before they couldn't even speak. Only the oldest person managed to utter a few words.

The mountain was cursed and could not be entered, so he died. With his death, the remaining nine people did not live to see the sunrise the next day. From that time on, no one dared to enter the mountain casually.

But people often have a rebellious mentality. They may be afraid, nervous and vigilant at the time, but after a while they will forget the fear. I always feel that if they are not allowed to enter that mountain, is there something good in that mountain? Is this just a lie to fool people, just to prevent others from going to that mountain and seeing it?

This time, five young people went in, carrying dry food, saying they wanted to take a good look, otherwise the mountain with such rich resources would be wasted. This sounded nice, but in fact, they were just looking for treasure.

Five young men went in, but only two ran out. Just like the last person who went in and fell ill, they died without even having time to say a word. The bodies of the other three were never found.

The way he died was the same as the ten people who went in at the beginning. He vomited black blood which was extremely smelly. He died immediately after vomiting, as if he had no strength to leave any last words.

But the three family members who had not even seen the bodies would definitely disagree, saying that the two men had killed them. In the end, the quarrel was so severe that the five families went into the mountain again, this time just to look for the bodies. Not to mention that they actually found them, not far from the entrance of the mountain.

I guess he must have run out with everyone, and he might have died before he ran out of the mountain.

But it would be better not to look for him. His death was so miserable, just like a dried corpse. People who have seen it said that he was sucked dry of his vitality by a demon. Otherwise, how could a healthy person turn into this right after death?

Qu Nannan asked in her mind: "Elf, this world is a world without spirits, right?"

"Yes, this is the Dharma Ending Age. It is a world where you cannot practice cultivation and where there will be no demons or ghosts."

That means that these people died most likely from poisoning, and there is no other explanation.

After saying this, Aunt Huang still looked a little frightened. Although everyone told her not to believe these things, it was a tradition that had been passed down for thousands of years. How could she just completely disbelieve it?

"Well," Qu Nannan said carefully, "Aunt Huang, is it possible that it wasn't some so-called curse or ghost? It's possible that they were just poisoned?"

"Ah!" Aunt Huang had never thought it was that simple. She always felt that the mountain was very mysterious, otherwise why wouldn't even the color be right?

"But, but, if they were poisoned, it's impossible that all these people had the same poison, right?" This is too much of a coincidence. Could it be that they ate poisonous mushrooms? I've never heard of any poisonous mushrooms that would have such an effect.

Huang Zhi interrupted, "Did they all eat the same poison?"

"It's not impossible, but..." Qu Nannan had some thoughts in mind but didn't know whether she should say them out loud, so she looked at Uncle Huang.

"Nannan, did you find anything? Tell us so we can all hear it."

"The Elf has analyzed it?" When Qu Nannan heard this story, she asked the Elf to use the instrument she brought to test the gloves she wore today.

"Analysis revealed that it was a toxin that had not been recorded by the instrument."

"Okay, wrap the gloves in oil paper and put them in the pocket on my back."

"The host has been placed."

Qu Nannan took the army green shoulder bag she carried with her, took out an oil-paper bag from it and put it on the table: "Inside this is the gloves I wore after entering the mountain today. Uncle Huang, you'd better find someone to test whether there are any toxins on them. Remember, don't touch the gloves directly with your hands."

This pair of gloves is the white thread gloves that can be seen everywhere here, but when she wore it today, she added a layer of isolation gloves inside. They are produced by Mercury. It was because she was careful enough today that she didn't get caught.

Uncle Huang took a look and said, "What did you encounter in the mountains today that led to this guess?"

Qu Nannan remembered to take a look outside, and she didn't want other people to hear what she was going to say next. Huang Quan stood up quickly, took a walk in the yard, and when he came back, he closed the door and nodded to the people in the room.

Qu Nannan then lowered her voice and tried her best to keep the volume within earshot of the other four people in the room.

"I went hunting in that mountain today and found a cave. The cave looked ordinary, but there were 20 to 30 large wooden boxes hidden inside. I was curious, so I took out my gloves, put them on my hands, opened the box and took a look."

"There were gold, silver, jewelry and other things in there, but I found a diary in the last box. The language on that diary was not our country's. I didn't recognize it, but it didn't look good."

Things that are related to daily life cannot be revealed at this time.

"I didn't dare to touch the other things inside. I came to you right after I came back. I wanted to take you up the mountain to have a look. I can't just leave so many things there, right?"

Huang Tang tapped the table with his fingers: "You mean, there is a high possibility that those boxes were coated with poison, and the deaths of those people are related to the poison on these boxes?"

"That's what I think, but I don't know if it's correct. Most people would be curious and open these things to take a look, and no one would think they might be poisonous or something."

"I've also looked at the mountain. It's no different from other mountains. The darker color may be due to the vegetation. Anyway, I didn't find a large number of poisonous plants. In the end, the mass poisoning may be caused by things that don't belong here."

"If it was a small amount of treasure, people who saw it might have divided it up on the spot, but the amount was quite large. Maybe the few people who saw it at the beginning had discussed the follow-up and planned to go down the mountain first and come back up to deal with those things after the storm died down."

"They just didn't realize that those things were not only treasures that could make their lives better, but could also be poisons that could kill people. These people might have thought of this before they died, and thought that if they didn't say it, no one else would gamble their lives, so they simply didn't say anything."
