Fang Yangqin spoke very methodically. He summarized the confession he had received, so that Shen Hao could clarify the context.
"One month after the first death, similar deaths began to appear in Xiushan village one after another. Generally, they would die suddenly on the day of onset, less than five hours before and after, and the symptoms of the disease were similar to the general wind cold. They just felt soft and wanted to sleep. They died as soon as they slept. Black spots would appear on their bodies half an hour after they died..."
Shen Hao listened to Fang Yangqin's brief while looking through the files in his hand. In doubt, he interrupted and asked, "when did wanhekou feel that there might be a plague?"
"I felt the problem when those yamen servants who dealt with the first death died suddenly at home. At that time, the Yamen head advocated reporting, but he was pressed down by the principal official. He was worried that the spread of the plague would affect his promotion. Originally, the principal official could be transferred to Pingshun city next year to take over as the principal official."
"Bastard! Where is that man now?"
"In prison."
"Don't let him die, and don't let him relax. He doesn't know how much trouble he has caused unless he scrapes off three layers of skin."
"Ha ha, this is inevitable."
"Continue."
Fang Yangqin continued: "Xiushan village was completely out of control after that. Many people in the village were scared away. Some went to lincun to hide from the disaster, and some simply ran to wanhekou city. There was no way to find out where they went. Finally, wanhekou yamen could only continue to hide and threaten those who fled. As long as they dared to go out and talk, they confiscated their population fields, and the disaster would be over in the future Don't want to come back. So up to now, the flood is the most popular outside.
Then there are many dead people from village to village. At first, the Yamen would organize people to bury them on the spot, but later everyone was afraid and unwilling to do it. The Yamen dug a hiding pit on both sides of the official road and asked the old and weak people in the village to help get the bodies out and throw them into the pit.
Later, more than ten yamen soldiers died, and no one dared to enter the disaster area... "
The doctor nearby turned red and angry, because according to the common way to deal with the plague in the world, blockade is not to expand the scope of the plague. But if you want to blockade, you must respond at the first time. If you miss one or two people, it will lose all significance. Wanhekou's practice is undoubtedly completely ignoring the critical period of plague disposal. Now the situation is difficult to reverse Back.
"Go to fengri city and tell me that the situation here has been out of control for a long time. At present, it is unclear how many people have poured out of wanhekou and where they have gone. It is suggested to check all the refugees entering the city, and it is urgent to ban them. Send them urgently."
"Yes." Wang Yiming hurried away.
Shen Hao got up from his seat, looked at the sky, turned to the famous doctor and said, "the starting place should be Xiushan village. Let's go there and have a look now. How about it?"
"Yes!"
So Shen Hao took his own team, leaving Wang Yiming and Fang Yangqin behind and galloping all the way to Xiushan village.
In the evening, I went down the official road. According to the guidance of a local Xuanqing Wei general flag who led the way, I walked on the mountain road for half an hour before I saw the Xiushan village in a mountain depression.
"There are not many people in the village, a total of 125 people in 31 households. 117 people were confirmed dead, and the rest are missing."
"There are still statistics on the number of deaths?" Shen Hao asked with a frown. He had neither seen nor heard Fang Yangqin mention the dead before.
"There's no way to make statistics, but because Xiushan village was the first place to have an accident, the Yamen made statistics at first, and then it was chaotic."
Without busy entering the village, the doctor walked around the village and recorded all the surrounding environment and vegetation, which was too professional for Shen Hao to understand.
After entering the village, it was quiet, and it was even more gloomy when it was dark.
Light a torch. According to the description on the file, Shen Hao and his party found the first family to have an accident. A small courtyard on the east side of the village, with a bamboo fence outside and a three-way house and thatched house inside.
Shen Hao asked most people to wait outside. Those whose accomplishments are not in the spirit gathering realm are not allowed to go in.
The doctor's friars just gathered in the divine realm and were not afraid of plague. When they entered the house, Shen Hao followed.
There was a strange smell in the room. The doctor and Shen Hao immediately felt it.
"The smell is very strange. It doesn't look like damp smell or corpse smell. It's very strange..."
"What should be the smell of corruption?"
After such a long time, no one should have lived in the house. It's a bit like corruption. It's normal, but why does it smell so strange? It's even annoying.
"This is..."
Follow this strange smell and open a basket in the corner. There are some rotten fruits in it. It looks like a pear. That strange smell comes from this thing.
Shen Hao said in his heart: the pear is rotten. Is it such a strange smell?
However, the doctor who came together was not as relaxed as Shen Hao. He carefully inserted a fruit with a stick and beat it. Because of decay, the rotten pulp was easily stripped off and exposed the core.
Shen Hao was still wondering what the doctor wanted to do, but when he saw the fruit core, he realized that he almost missed an important clue. The fruit in the basket was not a pear at all.
Will the stone of a pear grow into a skeleton? Or the kind of skull with a grin that seems to laugh wantonly.
"What is this?"
"Ghost Head pear."
"Ghost pear?"
"Well, as like as two peas, a poisonous plant that can lead to a trance, is also a toxic medicinal material of alchemy. It is almost the same as a wild pear, and tastes almost like wild pear."
Shen Hao: "this is the source of the plague?"
"No, Ghost Head pears are poisonous, but they won't cause plague. Otherwise, they won't be used for alchemy. I'm curious about how there are ghost head pears in an ordinary family, and there are so many baskets. It's reasonable that ghost head pears only grow in places with heavy corpse gas, thick Yin gas, little sunshine and humid environment. Those places are usually inaccessible, and monks want to collect them It takes effort to search. How did this ordinary family touch what kind of place?
And if I remember correctly, there are no ghost pears in Jingxi, only in Jingnan. "
The doctor is just confused, but Shen Hao has turned his doubts into doubts out of habit. It is strange enough that a poisonous material appears in an ordinary family, and it is unknown that it has caused the plague. Is there any connection between the two?
"Do you think this family thought they found wild pears and was infected with plague by something in the process of picking?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
