Chapter 344 Chapter 344: Chaos in the Northwest (7) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
"Hateful! Really hateful!"
Lu Jue was filled with anger at the words of these two people who were righteous and without guilt and repentance, as if every word he spit out had a tail of flames. He clenched the handle of the machete in his hand, restraining the urge to chop off their heads.
"Beasts don't bother to do such a stupid thing!" The blazing anger almost burned Lu Jue's reason, "Don't you think that the lives of ordinary people are not human lives?"
The half-baked Wenxin scholar's face was ashen.
He hates Shen Tang, calls her a thief, calls Gu Chi and others a dog, and hates Fugu and common people for making trouble, but it doesn't mean that he really doesn't understand anything. At least he knew what would happen to him when he told these truths—there was no way out, he was sure to die!
Anyway, he was going to die anyway, so he went all out.
He spit out a mouthful of **** saliva, accidentally touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, more warm, sweet blood oozes out from the loose gums, and spreads along the tongue to fill the entire mouth. With a look of contempt and disdain, he retorted: "How can common people's lives be considered human lives?"
Lu Jue was completely enraged by these words.
Stabbed the hatchet vertically into his thigh with his backhand.
Most of the blade was submerged in flesh and blood, and a hole was pierced through.
A half-hearted scribe let out a shrill and sharp scream. Lu Jue held the handle of the knife and stirred it a few times in his flesh and blood. Living?"
As he spoke, he swiped down again.
Blood spurted from the wound.
Lu Jue pulled out the hatchet with a little force, and said coldly: "You only hurt twice, and other people's lives will be gone!"
This wound is huge.
The weeds pressed by the thighs pass through it.
This **** and brutal scene stunned the other person.
As soon as he thought that the same wound would appear on his body, he couldn't help but fight with each other, and begged for mercy to Lu Jue: "Strong, strong man, I, I was wronged. I was coerced by a thief to do such an outrageous thing... "
"Strong man, I dare not again..."
"I beg the strong man to spare my life..."
When Lu Jue brandished his knife to vent his anger, Gu Chi remained silent, looking far away, as if admiring the scenery. Until he heard the spineless begging for mercy, he let out a short disdainful smile: "Begging for mercy? You are such a coward."
If the two of them went to the dark side by side, and Gu Chi was in a good mood, maybe they would be left with a whole body.
But I don't want this person's bones to be so soft.
Start begging for mercy after bluffing and bluffing.
After thinking about it, Gu Chi understood.
Their lives are far more precious than common people.
A man can bend and stretch, so if he dies easily, wouldn't it be a pity? Furthermore, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
The half-baked Wenxin scholar also looked at his accomplice sarcastically. Although his expression was twisted ferociously because of the pain, it did not affect the contempt in the corners of his eyes and brows in the slightest. Oh, a dog with a broken spine that wags its tail and begs for mercy at its enemies, what an embarrassment!
Lu Jue raised his head to ask for Gu Chi's opinion.
"Sir, will these two people be killed or not?"
"It's cheaper to kill like this." Gu Chi looked indifferent. He has a lot of tricks to make people unable to survive or die, especially against these so-called tough bones. Calculate!
Even though Lu Jue was upset, he still cupped his fists: "Wei!"
Although the culprit who spread the disease was successfully caught, the matter is far from over, and there are still many doubts in it.
"Sir, where are you going?"
This is not the direction to go back to Fugu City.
Gu Chi: "Go and take a look at that corpse pit."
The epidemic was man-made, and the dead rats were thrown into the well water and spread to people. But how did the epidemics in Zhouzhou Village and Xiazhou Village two or three years ago come about? According to the records of the government, the epidemic was violent and the death rate was extremely high.
The spread is limited to two villages.
It seems that the previous county guard made a decisive decision and sent troops to seal the village to successfully stop the spread of the epidemic, but is this really the truth?
Gu Chi is well-informed and well-informed. He knows that the epidemic is not so easy to control, and the previous county governor did not have the ability.
Lu never understood: "What's so interesting about the corpse pit?"
He said so on his mouth, but his hands were unambiguous.
He carried them one by one in each hand, and quickly followed Gu Chi.
Lu Jue's movements were not gentle, he was in so much pain that Wenxin Scholar wailed and screamed, and passed out several times due to blood loss.
The corpse pit is at the junction of Zhouzhou Village and Xiazhou Village.
The location is desolate and secluded, and the weeds are waist-high.
Before I got close enough, I smelled a very pungent stench, and there were many highly decomposed bird carcasses lying near the corpse pit. Most of the corpses are still lying in the corpse pit, and a dozen others have been dug up and scattered around.
Lu Jue's face turned black from the smell.
He said: "Sir, let me go."
Gu Chi shook his head: "It's nothing."
The corpses inside and outside the corpse pit were covered with countless wriggling maggots. He approached one of them, took a closer look, raised his hand and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, followed by a pair of bamboo products similar to chopsticks and, Just a nice little plate.
Lu Jue: "???"
At the same time when a strange image appeared in his mind, Gu Chi said without turning his head: "Shousheng, stay away, pay attention to the martial qi to protect the body, don't be hit by the qi."
"Wei!" Lu Jue was worried about Gu Chi, so he couldn't help but try to stretch his neck. He looked at Mr.'s movements for a moment, and at the same time, he was vigilant around him. He was afraid that there were other accomplices in these two hands. Ah, you, what are you doing?"
I saw Gu Chi holding the chopsticks with his right hand with well-defined knuckles, fiddled with the tip of the corpse, pushing away the dense maggots that made goose bumps all over his body. He seemed to be rummaging through the corpse for something, and found something after a while.
Lu never saw clearly what it was.
I only saw Gu Chi carefully put the things on the plate, at first glance he thought it was dipping sauce, preparing for that.
Gu Chi: "..."
He could have stretched himself.
But the content of Lu Jue's heartfelt disgusting him.
Lv Jue could imagine more disgusting things, Gu Chi got up with the plate, and handed it to Lu Jue for him to take a closer look.
"look."
Lu Jue leaned back in disgust.
"Sir, what's so good about this maggot?"
It was smelly and disgusting, stained with sticky and yellowed corpse fluid, and I don’t know how the husband could not vomit.
Gu Chi asked back: "Do you think this is a maggot?"
"What else can this be if it's not a maggot?"
Lu Jue pinched his nose, endured the nausea and took a closer look, and suddenly realized something was wrong—compared with ordinary maggots, the worm in the plate was obviously several circles larger, covered with countless fine dots, and the dots looked like shrunken white maggots. sesame seeds.
The head and tail are also different from maggots.
Dozens of curled up legs grow on both sides of the body.
The back is staggered and complex black lines.
Not so much maggots, more like grubs.
"What the **** is this?"
Or, what bug?
Gu Chi fiddled with the dead worm, his eyes getting colder, and he said, "Bug? To be precise, it's a kind of Gu worm! Look at the white spots on its body, they are all worm eggs. The worm eggs rely on It takes blood essence to hatch, and it takes a lot of blood essence to continue laying eggs after hatching, and an ordinary person will die in ten and a half months!"
Although Lu Jue didn't know what kind of Gu worm it was, just hearing these two words made his hair stand on end, and he wished he could step back and shoot him. He looked at the corpse pit, and then at the Gu worm corpse that Gu Chi pulled out from the corpse, and said, "If this is a Gu worm...then the epidemics in Zhouzhou Village and Next Zhou Village are also artificial?"
If it is a real epidemic, you can die anywhere.
The epidemic two or three years ago was really strange.
"Probably yes."
Gu Chi found several other dead Gu worms from other corpses... The culprit of this epidemic is definitely that this thing has no choice but to run away. He directed Lu Jue to find firewood and licorice, and cleared a large area for burning the corpses.
The two of them worked until 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to Fugu City with the two half-dead "fish that slipped through the net" and a plate of Gu insect corpses and eggs. To be on the safe side, he wrapped these insect eggs heavily with paper cloth, and Shen Tang waited for a long time.
"Wang Chao, is there any result?"
Fugu City is still under martial law, and Shen Tang hasn't slept for two days and one night. She looked a bit sleepy when she was full of energy in the past.
Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
These words fell to the ears of Shen Tang and the others like the sound of heaven.
"Have you found the source of the disease?"
"To be precise, this is not a disease."
Old Physician Dong disagreed when he heard this.
"If this is not a disease, what is it?"
Gu Chi carefully opened the plate.
In an instant, the stench of corpses smelt the nostrils, and the unprepared old doctor Dong was almost suffocated, and it took a long time for him to recover.
Everyone looked at Gu Chi suspiciously, wondering what he meant by bringing back a few maggots. Is this the source of the disease?
Gu Chi: "This is a Gu worm, the eggs of a Gu worm."
"Gu?"
This word touched some memories of Shen Tang. Last year, she met Gong Xichou outside the alliance army camp, and the latter mentioned the matter of Gu worms—Shao Chong was hit by a worm, and the "epidemic disease" caused by the worms broke out in He Yin again—is this really a coincidence?
Gu worms will not appear out of thin air.
Who is the person who played Gu?
Questions ran up and down in Shen Tang's mind.
It's just that these are not the most important.
the most important is-
"How to solve this Gu worm?"
Old Physician Dong twisted his gray beard, and said: "If it's really a Gu worm, you just need to lure them out before they absorb a lot of energy and blood to lay eggs... No wonder ordinary medicine doesn't work."
After all, he is studying medicine, not playing Gu.
He only knows a little about witchcraft.
Shen Tang asked: "Lead it out? How should I lead it?"
Old Physician Dong said: "I don't know, I just heard from my mentor that Gu worms have their own preferences. To lure them out, you have to use what they like the most, such as exuberant qi and blood, a certain smell, martial qi, and literary qi." Even flowers…”
There are tens of thousands of Gu insects, each with a different temperament.
Who knows what this thing likes?
Shen Tang: "..."
Old doctor Dong added: "You must move quickly. These are ordinary people. Their essence, qi, and blood cannot be compared with Wenxin scholars and warriors. Once the Gu worms are ready to lay eggs, even if the Da Luo Jinxian comes, he will come back." The sky is exhausted..."
Shen Tang asked: "How long?"
Old Doctor Dong judged the patients' conditions and estimated a rough time: "There are still two days at most."
Judging from the situation, this Gu is impatient.
"Two days... okay, I see, get the bowl!"
"Why take the bowl?"
Shen Tang's right hand melted into a sword that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Without hesitation, he grasped the blade of the sword with his left hand.
Before everyone reacted, a bloodstain was wiped out.
"Bleeding!"
She was able to wrestle with Gong Xiqiu last year, and these brave fighters are not her opponents. A group of Wenxin scribes compete with each other, making up a combination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. After thinking about it, it must be her blood that is most attractive to Gu worms.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
"Take a bowl and catch it—"
Seeing the blood dripping onto the ground and being absorbed by the soil, Shen Tang felt distressed. He stretched his hand forward and hung it over the table—the blood flowed on the table, and he could collect it when he turned around. Old doctor Dong woke up with a start and shouted.
"Shen Jun, why are you bothering—" Bloodletting without seriousness, without fear of falling into the root of the disease, is really too reckless!
Shen Tang's blood flowed down half a bowl.
Dr. Dong helped her bandage while muttering. Just after tying the knot, Qishan walked in with an uneasy expression. The latter half-raised his **** left hand, and the wound was turned outward. As soon as he came in, he asked, "Is the lord injured?"
Before waiting for the answer, a bowl came.
Pray for good: "???"
Shen Tang looked at Qi Shan guiltily: "I was careless."
She really didn't think that much at that moment.
Pray for good: "???"
Confused, confused.
Fortunately, the matter was not complicated to explain. With a few words, Qishan quickly understood what was going on with the wound.
He said helplessly: "If you need blood, you have to let goodness come, or half a step to come, how can you let the lord hurt your body?"
Still not sure if the blood is useful or not, the lord puts so much blood at once, wouldn't it be a waste if it is useless?
Old Physician Dong took two bowls of blood to the ward.
Study how to use blood to force out Gu worms.
Shen Tang didn't stop here either.
Since it is known that someone has thrown a dead mouse into the well, the dead mouse must be salvaged, and the polluted well must be sealed to avoid repeating the same mistakes. From the current point of view, it should be that someone accidentally drank unboiled water and drank insect eggs.
Shen Tang was helpless: "Drink more hot water and avoid drinking unboiled water. Does such a simple truth need to be repeated?"
She, the sheriff, is simply an old lady.
The people under the rule take a bath, she wants to urge them.
Drink hot water, she also stares.
Oral instructions are not enough, and orders must be stamped!
But fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it was controlled before it spread in a large area, so as to reduce casualties as much as possible. As long as these Gu worms are drawn out, the crisis should be resolved. It's just that Shen Tang's breath was obviously a bit early.
Fortune does not come together, misfortune does not come singly.
Bad things like to get together.
While waiting for the news, she heard footsteps hurriedly approaching outside the house, and she knew who it was.
"Text Notes."
It was Xu Jie who came.
At this time, Xu Jie's face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ash, almost blending into the dark night sky. Shen Tang greeted his injured left hand at him: "Here is good news."
Xu Jie smiled with an ugly face, his breath sounded a lot weaker: "Coincidentally, Xie has some bad news here."
"bad news?"
"The same disease appeared in Tianhai!"
Shen Tang was so shocked that he almost knocked over the teacup on the table.
"Tianhai also appeared?"
Good guy—
Is this going to catch them all at once?
