Profound Pure Guard

Fang Yangqin's speech was very organized, and he briefly summarized the confession he had received to help Shen Haoli to understand the context.

"One month after the first death, similar deaths began to occur in Xiushan Village. Generally, they died suddenly on the day of the onset of the disease, less than five hours before and after, and the symptoms of the onset were similar to those of a general wind chill, but I feel soft and want to sleep. I die as soon as I fall asleep. Dark spots appear on my body only half an hour after I die..."

Shen Hao looked through the file in his hand while listening to Fang Yangqin's brief introduction. When he encountered doubts, he interrupted and asked, "When did the Wanhekou area feel that the disease might have occurred?"

"It was when the few yamen who dealt with the first deaths died in their homes. At that time, the Yatou advocated reporting, but was suppressed by the chief officer, worried that the epidemic would affect his promotion after the spread of the disease. This chief officer can be transferred to Binh Thuan City next year to take over as chief officer."

"Asshole! Where is that man now?"

"In prison."

"Don't let him die, don't let him relax, he doesn't know how much trouble he has caused without scraping off the three layers of skin."

"Hehe, this is inevitable."

"carry on."

Fang Yangqin continued: "Since Xiushan Village was completely out of control, many people in the village were scared away. Some went to the village to escape the disaster, and some simply ran to Wanhekou City. There is no way to know exactly where they went. Checked it up. In the end, Wanhekou Yamen could only bite the bullet and continue to conceal and threaten those who fled. As long as they dare to go out and talk nonsense, their population fields will be confiscated. After the disaster, don’t even think about coming back. So now it’s spread outside. The most common cause is floods.

After that, there were dead people from village to village, too many to count. In the beginning, the yamen would organize manpower to bury it on the spot, but then everyone was afraid and didn't want to do it. Yamen dug the pits on both sides of the official road first, so that the old and weak in the village could not escape to help get the corpses out and throw them in the pit.

After that, ten or so yamen died, and no one dared to enter the disaster area..."

The doctor beside him was flushed and angry, because the common way to deal with the plague in this world was to blockade, so that the plague would not expand. But if you want to block it, you must respond immediately, and if one or two people are omitted, all meaning will be lost. And Wanhekou’s approach is undoubtedly completely neglecting the critical period of plague disposal, and now the situation is irretrievable.

"Give the news to Fengri City. It is said that the situation here has already been out of control. It is not clear how many people gushed out of Wanhekou or where they went. It is recommended to check all the refugees who entered the city, and circle it. The ban is urgent. Send it urgently."

"Yes." Wang Yiming left in a hurry.

Shen Hao got up from his seat, looked at the sky, turned his head and said to the healer: "The starting place should be Xiushan Village. Let's go over there now, how about?"

"Should!"

So Shen Hao personally led the team, leaving Wang Yiming and Fang Yangqin to stay behind and galloping towards Xiushan Village.

In the evening, I got off the official road. Following the guidance of a local leader Xuan Qingwei, he walked another half an hour on the mountain road before I saw the Xiushan Village in a col.

"There are not many people in the village. There are 31 households with 125 people. It is confirmed that 117 people have died, and the whereabouts of the rest are unknown."

"There are still statistics on the number of deaths?" Shen Hao frowned and asked. He hadn't seen the deceased from the dossier before nor had he heard Fang Yangqin mention it.

"There is no way to count, but because Xiushan Village was the first place where the accident occurred, the Yamen also counted it at first, but it was messed up later."

Not busy entering the village, the healer walked around the village and recorded all the surrounding environment and vegetation conditions, so professional that Shen Hao couldn't understand it.

After entering the village, it was quiet, and it was even more gloomy with the darkened sky.

Lighting the torch, Shen Hao and his team found the first person who had the accident according to the description on the file. A small courtyard on the east side of the village. Outside is a bamboo fence, and inside is a three-in house, a thatched house.

Shen Hao asked most of the people to wait outside, and those whose cultivation bases weren't allowed to enter the God-focused state.

The cultivator of the healer just happened to focus on the spirit, not afraid of the plague, when he entered the house, Shen Hao followed.

There was a strange smell in the room, which the healer and Shen Hao immediately felt.

"This smell is very strange. It doesn't look like a damp smell or a corpse smell. It's weird..."

"What should be the smell of corruption?"

After so long, no one should have lived in the house. It's a bit like corruption is normal, but why does it smell so strange? It's even annoying.

"this is......"

Following this strange smell, I opened a basket in the corner, and there were some fruits that were beginning to rot, which looked like pears. The strange smell came from this thing.

Shen Hao said inwardly: It turns out that the smell of pears is rotten? Is it so weird?

However, the healer who came here was not as relaxed as Shen Hao~www.wuxiahere.com~ He carefully inserted a fruit with a stick, and then beat it. Because of the rot, the rotten flesh was easily peeled off , Revealing the core inside.

Shen Hao was still wondering what the healer was going to do, but when he saw the core of the fruit, he realized that he had almost missed an important clue. The fruit in this basket was not a pear at all.

Will the core of a pear grow into a skull? Still the kind of skull with a grin that seems to be mocking wantonly.

"What is this?"

"Ghost pear."

"Ghost pear?"

"Well, a poisonous plant that can cause trance is also a toxic medicinal material for alchemy. It looks almost exactly the same as a normal wild pear, and tastes almost the same as wild pear."

Shen Hao: "This is the source of the plague?"

"No, Guitou Li is only poisonous but it will not cause plague, otherwise this thing will not be used for alchemy. What I am curious is how can an ordinary person's home have Guitou Li, and there are still such a large basket. It stands to reason that Guitou pears only grow in places where the corpse is heavy and yin, there is little sunshine and the environment is humid. Such places are usually off the beaten track, and the monks need to work hard to search if they want to collect. How does this ordinary family touch it? Where did you go?

And if I remember correctly, there are no Guitou pears produced here in Jingxi, only in Jingnan. "

The doctor was just confused, but Shen Hao had turned the doubt into a doubt out of habit. It is strange enough that a kind of toxic material appears in an ordinary household, and it is unclearly caught with the plague. Will there be any connection between the two?

"Do you think this family thought they found wild pears and was infected with the plague by something during the picking process?"
