Chapter 281 Possibility

What is even more suspicious here is that in other places, there are dead people all around, but here there is no one at all, let alone a corpse or anything.

Cao Anshan thought so in his heart, and then he turned his gaze from the pile of broken porcelain pieces to the pile of insects not far away. He frowned, and this insect looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember its name, so he asked the people around him, asking:

"What's that pile of stuff?"

Standing next to him was the man Cao Anshan brought from his own house. Seeing his master asking this, the man replied:

"General, this is called a poisonous insect spider. Generally speaking, this thing should stay in the vegetable garden or somewhere else. After all, it specializes in eating those pests. As for why it appears here, I don't know."

Cao Anshan heard this and nodded, hearing that the insect's name contained the word "poison". He couldn't help but ask, "Is it poisonous?"

The guard shook his head: "It's not poisonous, General, don't worry."

Since there was no poison, Cao Anshan did not hesitate any further and walked towards the pile of poisonous insects and spiders.

He didn't know what was in the pile. It was blocked by these poisonous insects and spiders and he couldn't see anything. So he looked around, trying to find a long wooden stick to uncover the pile of things.

The guard who was watching his actions at the side saw this and handed him a long whip that he had found from somewhere with a natural look on his face.

Cao Anshan looked at the guard for several seconds, wondering how this man could have thought of giving him a long whip instead of a long wooden stick. The long whip would affect his performance a little.

But having it is better than having it, he comforted himself in this way, so he took the whip and asked the people around him to stay away from him. When everyone was standing behind him, Cao Anshan took a deep breath, and then swung the whip violently. The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, followed by a bang, and the muffled sound caused by the whip hitting the ground, and the poisonous spiders that were swung out by the whip fled frantically on the ground.

The people around were watching this scene, and they all thought to themselves that they should run fast, otherwise these poisonous insects and spiders would hit them. Even if they were not poisonous, it would still be uncomfortable to see or feel these things crawling on their bodies.

Cao Anshan used 70% of his strength in this whip. He glanced at the poisonous spiders that were thrown on him and slapped them to the ground with his hands without any care. Then he went to the place where the poisonous spiders had just surrounded him. He opened his eyes and found that there was nothing here except a bag of powder. He walked forward again with some confusion, wanting to know what the powder was, but before he could take action, the poisonous spiders surrounded the powder again and soon the powder disappeared again.

He looked really annoyed, so he whipped them a few more times, killing quite a few poisonous spiders. Then, when they gathered together, they finally failed to cover the powder. He thought, why not try pouring a basin of water here, so that the poisonous spiders will be gone.

But these powders will also be gone.

Cao Anshan glanced at the only doctor they brought with them among the group of people.

This doctor is from the prison, and was arranged by the emperor. I believe that this person has excellent medical skills and can know what is in this pile of powder.

The doctor noticed Cao Anshan's gaze, picked up the medicine box in his hand, walked to a position not far from the pile of stuff, slowly squatted down, looked up and carefully, then found a long spoon from his own medicine box, scooped a spoonful from the powder at random, and found a few poisonous spiders that were reluctant to leave in the middle, but he didn't care, he just wanted to see what this thing was.

The naked eye cannot tell what the ingredients are here. After the doctor dug out this pile, he began to grind it carefully to study what this thing is. While he was still studying, Cao Anshan was thinking about whether there would be any other clues around.

I thought this in my mind and acted decisively and efficiently, but in the end I gained nothing.

Cao Anshan stood there waiting for the doctor's news. After waiting for a long time, the doctor told him the clues he had found. He only heard this:

"General, the powder inside is not something strange. It is also what migrant workers use to deal with the vegetable garden. It is said to be used for disinfection." After a pause, the doctor continued, but he was puzzled: "... But these poisonous spiders can actually eat this thing that is specially used to poison pests. It's not simple."

Upon hearing this, Cao Anshan kept these things in mind. When he returned home in the evening, he would explain them clearly to the Marquis and ask for other news.

"In that case, take some powder back and look at this thing, maybe it is a clue." Cao Anshan turned his head and glanced at the guard beside him, asking him to collect such powder. After taking the powder, he looked at the miserable appearance of nothing around.

After Cao Anshan sighed silently, he stood up straight and continued to investigate here. After finding that there was indeed nothing, he took the people around him and rushed to other places.

After leaving the small teahouse, the prison doctor kept staring at the several poisonous spiders and some medicine powder he had just caught.

When I have time someday, I will try out the specific uses of these medicinal powders.

This happened yesterday morning.

Then yesterday afternoon a group of people ran to the town to look for the well water.

The place was easier to find, and they were well prepared when they arrived. After they scooped out a bucket of well water, they asked the doctor to come forward and see if the water was poisonous.

The doctor found a silver needle from his medicine box, and then put half of the needle into the well water. After a few seconds, the silver needle turned black.

It is poisonous indeed.

When Cao Anshan saw this, even though he knew it was poisonous, his face still darkened after he actually saw it.

The doctor raised his eyebrows. If this was the origin of the plague, then the water here should be taken back for research. Maybe something could be found that could control or eliminate the toxicity.

Cao Anshan originally wanted to see if he could find some other clues nearby, but as soon as he lowered his head, he saw a poisonous spider appearing from nowhere on the ground.

Cao Anshan paused slightly and did not step on it directly. He wanted to bypass it and look somewhere else. But after taking a few steps, he saw several spiders surrounding the water stains on the ground. It was exactly the same as the scene in the morning when the poisonous spiders surrounded the powder. He was startled, and then his eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility.
