Chapter 45 Corpse Poison

When I am restless, I hear my friends shouting loudly that it is not good...

Gu Ting thumped in his heart, and subconsciously stood up: "What did you find?"

"Dead man!" Meng Zhen clenched his small fists, his brows and eyes were serious, "I found the dead man!"

Gu Ting frowned, what's so strange about dead people?Although these words are a bit cruel, there are indeed many dead people in Jiuyuan City now. After the war, too many lives have passed away, both inside and outside the city, which is nothing new.Meng Zhen's living environment is different. He has only seen more battlefields. He is not a person who can yell for a few dead people. Could it be——

His heart skipped a beat: "Is there a problem with the dead?"

Meng Zhen nodded heavily: "Hmm! It seems to be poisonous!"

like?Gu Ting was very nervous, subconsciously took a step forward, his eyes were tight: "Be more careful."

Meng Zhen pursed his lips: "Just this morning, a little bored, I pestered my brother to take me out of the city for a round of horses, and then I saw a few dead bodies that were very strange." He tilted his head slightly, thinking back to the time Scene, "The corpse is festering too fast, the corpse is flowing, there is no good place on the body except the face and hands, I feel something is wrong, although after the war, there are not enough people to collect the corpse, but this is winter, the dripping water turns into ice, the corpse will only freeze Hold on, how could it fester so quickly?"

"I took a close look at it. One of the corpses was the most rotten, and the surrounding corpses also had some symptoms, but the severity was different. The closer I was to him, the worse the symptoms. I subconsciously felt that it was a kind of poison, but Can't be too sure..."

Gu Ting: "I don't know what kind of poison this is, can it be contagious?"

But on another thought, if it was just corpses infecting corpses, why would Meng Zhen be so anxious?His eyes narrowed suddenly, and he took a deep breath: "This poison... can also infect people, can't it?"

Meng Zhen bit his lips: "I'm not sure, I haven't seen any living people suffer from this crime, but the corpses of small animals were found around the corpses... There are many birds and mice."

The two armies are facing each other. On the battlefield, there are only people killing people, not animals. There must be something wrong with the sudden appearance of so many corpses of small animals concentrated in one place.

Gu Ting's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly figured out something.

He said, why Huo Yan is so powerful, and he couldn't withstand a big defeat in his previous life. It turned out that he was not defeated. What he couldn't resist was not war, but poison.Perhaps those sacrificed lives were not killed in battle, but poisoned.How tragic the border and Jiuyuan City were at that time, with corpses strewn across the field, Huo Yan lost almost everything, his people, his generals, his grandmother and younger brothers and sisters... Was it not because he was not good at guarding? Is it because of this that he died?

If the same poison occurred in the previous life, and the situation is critical, then there must be a lack of medical care and medicine. The food crisis must be after the medicine crisis, and life is gone. What to eat?The nervousness of medicinal materials is certain. After all, something happened, the doctors will think of ways and test various medicines. The most difficult thing is not even the lack of medicinal materials. It is not knowing which medicinal materials are the most scarce and which is the real life-saving medicine... …

Gu Ting slowly clenched his fists, his voice was difficult: "Are you sure?"

Meng Zhen lowered his head slightly, and his voice seemed a little low: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, you know that I am not in good health. I was poisoned in my early years. There is no cure for the poison in the world."

Gu Ting's eyes became complicated: "You..."

"Don't worry, I'm used to it," Meng Zhen raised his face and smiled, "This is definitely not a good thing, but I suffer from it, and at least I have some other advantages. I don’t know how to prescribe prescriptions, but I’m very sensitive to poison, if I feel something wrong, then it’s probably poison.”

Gu Ting rubbed his little friend's furry head: "Then you know how to be careful?"

Meng Zhen nodded heavily: "Well! Don't worry, I have been here since I was a child, and I am the best at protecting myself, don't worry!"

Gu Ting: "Is it possible to determine the source of this poison?"

Meng Zhen: "[-]% are those corpses!"

Gu Ting: "What about contagiousness?"

Meng Zhen: "There is not enough information about this. Whether it is strong or weak, and what consequences it will cause are still uncertain. There is no abnormality in the city yet, but this poison is special. Maybe when we really find it, it will be too late."

Maybe it's not that it didn't show up, but that everyone didn't pay attention.

So it must not be allowed to spread to a large scale!

Gu Ting closed his eyes, there was no time, he had to move immediately!

"Wu Feng!" Gu Ting is now in his small courtyard, not in the palace, and immediately called Wu Feng in, and gave the same instructions, "Go to Zhenbei Palace quickly, find the old housekeeper and ask him to seal the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ! At the same time, please ask Coach Lin to send a team, take protective measures, and quickly dispose of the corpses inside and outside the city—"

He didn't dare to call him Wei Lie, because Wei Lie died at this time in his last life, maybe it wasn't a war, it was because of this poison.

"Please ask the palace to help summon doctors, and let the government issue a decree to help me check the people on the street!"

After finishing all arrangements, Gu Ting rushed out of the house without resting for a moment.

Time was too tight, and he didn't have time to explain the reason for doing so. He thought that everyone would resist to some extent.

The old steward of the palace asked the Crown Princess for instructions, and the Crown Princess only said: "Brother Ting would say this, there must be a reason, there is probably no time right now, and he will come back to explain when he has time, and there are no big things left and right, so we closed the mansion. Let him go."

The gate of the palace was closed immediately.

The common people also did not suspect that Gu Ting had other intentions at the first moment, but wondered if Beidi was acting as a demon again and sent secret agents over?

"Which bastard is here to make trouble again? What kind of demon are you going to be this time? Mr. Gu, don't worry, you can investigate casually. If you have anything to say, just ask, just ask for anything, and we will definitely cooperate!"

The experience of defending the city before about increased everyone's trust in him, and no one in the crowd had a second word.

Gu Ting's eyes were a little hot, but he didn't have time to be moved, so he raised his voice and said, "Beidi wolves are ambitious, I'm worried that they won't give up if they lose, and they will use other poisonous tricks, so I came here to ask, has anyone been to the city recently? Besides, have you seen the corpses of the enemy soldiers? Is anyone feeling unwell?"

"Have!"

A commoner in the crowd stood up: "But we are not the ones who can't figure it out. We hate Di people and want to whip corpses, even if we urinate on them, but we know what to do, and we can't cause trouble for the Zhenbei army." Well, a few days ago, my neighbor and I went outside the city to see off relatives, went out for a while and came back again, did not do anything unnecessary, and did not find anything unusual."

His neighbor also stood up: "Mr. Gu, my group can swear that we really didn't do anything, but if you mention feeling uncomfortable, I'm really a little bit."

He opened his sleeves to expose his arm. There were dark sores on it, black and red, a bit like corpse spots. The wound was not big, and pus had begun to flow, and the epidermis was necrotic, which looked a little scary.

Gu Ting's expression was solemn: "How did you do it?"

The man was also worried: "I don't know. It suddenly grew up on my arms and legs. I went to the doctor to treat it, but I couldn't stop it. It will spread with any medicine. I can't help it."

Gu Ting: "Is this something you only got when you came back from outside the city? Did you grow it yourself, or did everyone else have it?"

The man thought for a while: "It seems a bit of a coincidence to say it. It really did grow after I came back. Only myself, and everyone else is fine, but it's just two sores. Everything on my body is good, and I can eat it. I can sleep well, I don’t feel any pain anywhere, and the doctor said it’s not a big deal, there’s no danger of my life..."

The more he spoke, the more frightened he became, and finally he trembled a little: "Mr. Gu asked that, but is there something wrong with this thing?"

Gu Ting was frowning and was about to speak, when suddenly someone shouted from the alley next to him, "He's dead! Old Four Li is dead!"

The crowd exploded suddenly: "Li Laosi is dead? He is so strong, how could he die?"

"I saw him the day before yesterday. He was fine. Why did he die suddenly?"

"impossible……"

Everyone wanted to gather around to watch, but Gu Ting suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't move!"

Everyone looked over in confusion.

Gu Ting took a deep breath, and asked the reporter: "Who are you? How did you find out that Li Lao Si died?"

The man replied: "I'm his neighbor. I accepted his favor and agreed to invite him to dinner today. He also agreed, but I didn't see anyone for most of the day. I didn't answer when I knocked on the door. There is no one in the courtyard." There was no movement, I felt something was wrong, so I climbed over the wall and went in to check, and found that the person was dead..."

Gu Ting: "Is his death situation different from ordinary people?"

The man scratched his head: "I don't, I don't know, I was frightened after I tried my hand and sniffed, so I hurried out and wanted to report to the police."

Gu Ting thought for a while, but accidents cannot be ruled out at all, he still prevented everyone from passing by, and only ordered the messenger: "You, follow me to go and have a look."

He washed his hands with warm soapy water, covered his face with a thick cotton towel, and ordered the accompanying people to do the same, and then went to the deceased's house.

The smell in the room was very strange. It was said to be smelly, but it was more sour, similar to the smell of something fermented and spoiled.

Walking in and taking a closer look, the deceased didn't see anything on the surface, and his expression was even very peaceful, but when he opened the skirt, the flesh inside was already rotten, and the pus mixed with the corpse water soaked the inner clothing.

The neighbor who reported the news was shocked: "It's not impossible! I greeted him the night before yesterday, and he just finished eating. He's good anywhere. Even if he is alive and kicking, how can he die so quickly?"

It seemed unbelievable, he stretched out his hand, wanting to open the skirt a little more and take a closer look.

Gu Ting immediately stopped him: "Don't come close! This place will be taken over by the government army immediately. You stay at your own home for a while, don't go out, and wait for the government's notice..."

Gu Ting led people out, immediately evacuated the crowd, and arranged for the government team to take over.

After quietly washing his hands and taking off his face towel, he let out a helpless breath. The last thing he expected to happen still happened.

The subsequent investigation continued, but this time it was more cautious.He kept busy until it was dark, and Gu Tingpai found out that there were more than ten people with the same sores!Although the deceased was only Li Laosi, this number is quite scary!

Thinking about what happened next, he didn't even have time to eat, and hurried to the direction of Zhenbei Wangfu, halfway, he was stopped by Meng Zhen again.

"I know what's going on!" Meng Zhen's eyes brightened and he was very excited, "This is corpse poison!"

Gu Ting reacted a little slower before he understood what he was talking about: "corpse poison?"

Meng Zhen's small face tensed up: "I have been studying with a bunch of old doctors with white beards for a long time. Do the old doctors know? The ones you asked the Zhenbei Palace to call? Forget it, you don't know after a busy day, anyway, it's me and them When we meet together, we all have different experiences and different opinions, but we can get together and chat, and we really have the answer! This poison is unusual, it was cultivated from the dead!"

Gu Ting patted his shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

"Aren't I afraid that you will run away? You walk so fast..." Meng Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes calmed down, and he said to Gu Ting, "Generally, most of the poisons on the outside are taken from plants and animals. Poisonous flowers, weeds and insects, the more poisonous the poison, the rarer the source of the poison. If it is a poisonous flower, it must be born in an extremely cold or extremely hot place, and it is rare for ordinary people to step on it. If it is a snake, insect, and spider, then these snakes, insects, and spiders must be extremely difficult. Yang, the so-called unsolvable and highly poisonous, most of the above poisons are mixed and prepared in a certain proportion. Corpse poison is somewhat different. The emotion before death is too fearful and uncomfortable. Highly poisonous flowers, plants, insects and snakes can't kill people without long-term contact. The poison we encountered this time is very different. It should be the poison raised from the corpse. The mixed diseased mice or other animals have been raised for a long time, and the toxicity is quite terrible. "

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes: "You mean, this poison is artificially made?"

"Yeah!" Meng Zhen's small face was tense, full of anger, "Not only is it man-made, but the process of raising the poison is also very cruel, and many people will die in the process. In the end, the finished product is ready, and storage is also very dangerous. Cave seals are likely to be leaked. When you want to use them, you have to send someone in to take the initiative to infect them, and then come out to harm others... And this person who takes the initiative to take the poison will definitely die. This kind of poison is very special, and the living will be infected. , but it will not die immediately, and it will not benefit healthy people in the middle, even if it has sores, it will not infect anyone during this period, but death is inevitable, as long as it dies, the corpse will become a huge source of poison, whoever gets it will be poisoned, If you don’t touch it, you may get hit if you smell it.”

Gu paused and understood: "That is to say...the person carrying the poison source doesn't know about his physical condition, doesn't pay attention to it, and doesn't know that his death will be a disaster for his relatives and friends around him. How can the consequences not be serious? "

The effect of this poison is too strong, and the incubation period is too special. When it erupts, it is almost the time when too many people are infected and unable to recover.

He squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth: "The person who developed this poison is extremely sinister."

Meng Zhen jumped angrily: "It's too insidious, too despicable! If it weren't for the old doctors who are well-informed and thought about various directions, and I just heard similar rumors many years ago, everyone combined their ideas and finally If you know what's going on, without one person, today's knot can't be solved, you won't know what's going on, let alone how to fix it, and it will be even more troublesome when things go wrong!"

Gu Ting thought quickly, the most important thing right now is - "Is there a cure for this poison?"

Meng Zhen was stunned, and shook his head sadly: "Not yet. If it's just a poison, there must be an antidote. Just look for it. There are also antidotes for general corpse poisons. Even if it's the plague, old doctors have experience, and they can also research and prepare medicines. There is a direction, but this time the poison has combined at least two, so it is... difficult."

After the funeral, Meng Zhen patted his face again, and clenched his small fists again: "But all things are born and restrained by each other, and God will never use this method to destroy human beings or animals casually, so there must be a solution, but it takes time and a lot of work." Drug testing."

He looked at Gu Ting: "Don't worry, I will help you! I can't fight, and I'm not as smart as you to retreat from the enemy, but I'm an old expert in fighting poisonous things, and I will definitely find a way! Thinking of you You might be in a hurry, I just came here to tell you, so that you can arrange the next thing, I don’t have time to chat with you, I’m going back now, and I have to study the dispensing with the old doctors, remember to ask Dong Zhongcheng to give it to you I'll bring the medicinal materials, because I don't know which one is for the specific medicine, so I want all kinds of medicinal materials!"

After speaking, he ran away with the hem of his robe in his hands just like when he came.

Gu Ting looked at his little friend's back in a hurry, feeling sore and full of heart.

He knows that this incident can't be avoided, but it's not all hopeless. Meng Zhen, who usually looks soft and vomits blood from time to time when the wind blows, everyone subconsciously takes care of him, this time the accident is reliable.

It is the little lucky star of Jiuyuan City.

He knows that his rebirth has changed a lot of things, some good and some bad, but the way of life is always unknown, he can't regret it, can't think that it is because of his joining that made Bei Di lose his mind and engage in this kind of drug war, We can only look forward and walk firmly step by step.

The road ahead is long, and there may be more thorns, but there will also be more experiences. Doesn’t this lead to Meng Zhen?

At the beginning, I helped Meng Zhen with a soft heart, allowed him to eat, and took care of him patiently. He never thought of asking for anything in return, but Tao Li didn't say anything, and he made his own way. What kind of person are you? kind of way.

There is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how difficult it is, just carry it over.As Meng Zhen said, all things generate and restrain each other, if it is poison, there will be a solution!

Gu Ting waved his hand and sent out a small team to protect Meng Zhen back, his eyes turned to the distant sky, and he sighed slightly.

You didn't come back, is it also because of this poison?

Are you... are you safe?

Gu stopped on his toes and continued to walk towards Zhenbei Palace.The further he walked, the faster his steps, the more determined his eyes became.

He decides one thing.

……

On the border, in Wubao, when he heard the knock on the door, please see, Huo Yan calmly covered the sore on his wrist: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the military doctor knows what happened to the poison this time. It's poison, corpse poison."

It was Xia Sanmu who came in to report. He had the same sores as Huo Yan on his faintly exposed wrists.
