Little Fox's Journey to Another World

Chapter 68 Strange Disease
"It seems so, but I don't think this is just an ordinary infectious disease!"

Uh?
"If I guess correctly, the water source here should be infected, and it is poisoning caused by drinking water."

The water source was poisoned. No wonder he had just smelled and tasted the vegetables and water in several families' homes. It turned out that he had known that this was not an ordinary infectious disease!He truly deserves to be the number one doctor in Yaga. To be honest, if it were his normal appearance, you wouldn't be able to tell. When he comes to diagnose a patient, his whole person seems to have changed. This is the demeanor of the "number one doctor"!
"Crimson Snow!"

"what?"

"I just asked the village chief. The main source of drinking water in this village is the small river not far away. Let's go and take a look!"

In my impression, a polluted river should be black, smelly, turbid and invisible.But the river here is extremely clear, and you can even see fish in the river and stones under the river. "Uncle, is this the river?"

Dr. Lu squatted down, filled up some water with his hands, smelled it, and licked it again, with a puzzled expression, "There is nothing wrong with this water, why?"

"Could it be something wrong with the things used to hold the water? No, probably not. Every household uses different things, so it's impossible to get the same disease?" It's so strange, what is the problem?Could it be that uncle made a mistake?
Doctor Lu thought for a while, took out the kettle and filled some river water, and went back to the village by himself, muttering to himself for some reason.I just felt bored being thrown there, shrugged and hurriedly followed him.

After returning to the village, Dr. Lu thought of something again, opened the kettle and poured some water to taste, his expression changed immediately, and he ran out in a hurry.I was taken aback by his series of actions, and I even wondered if he had been hit so hard that he went crazy
I followed him and ran out, only to see him standing blankly at the entrance of the village, motionless for most of the time, not knowing what he was thinking. "Uncle?" Impatiently waiting, I called him softly.

"."

? "Uncle?"

"That's right!!" Dr. Lu suddenly thought of something and shouted suddenly, which shocked me so much that I couldn't help but reach out and pat my chest.

"Uncle, why are you so surprised?" It really scared me to death!
Dr. Lu suddenly soared into the air, and reached for the heavy sword that seemed to be quite old, which was hanging on the tall stone pillar at the entrance of the village.I looked at him inexplicably, although I always thought he was weird, but today he seemed even weirder.

The moment his hand touched the sword, he suddenly retracted, and his whole body fell straight down as if he couldn't control it.

"Uncle!!" I hurried up and saw that his palms had turned black, not only the palms, but even the wrists and arms covered by the sleeves could be faintly black. "Uncle, this."

Dr. Lu put one hand on the ground and tried to get up unsteadily. I reached out to help him, but he stepped aside and said, "The evil poison in my body has not been cleared yet, and it may be contagious!" He slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, There was a faint light shining on his body, and after an unknown amount of time, he slowly stood up. At this time, the black shadow on his hand had faded a lot, "It looks like this is the sword!"

"You mean, this sword caused the disease?" Can a sword hanging high cause disease in the entire village?This always feels like a fairy tale, but I just saw the uncle's appearance with my own eyes, and I couldn't help but not believe it.

"Yeah!" Doctor Lu nodded, "It seems I should ask about this sword!"

※※※

"Village chief, please tell me why there is an epee hanging at the entrance of the village?" Following Dr. Lu's arrival at the uncle's house, he asked the village chief anxiously.

I also find it weird about this.However, according to the customs in some places, swords are considered to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and are hung by people's beds. Is this the same in this village?

"Then, what's wrong with that sword?" The village chief seemed to be very surprised by Dr. Lu's question, "That sword was hung there a long time ago, and it is said that it was given to me by a great alchemist in the past. From our village. Why do you ask this?"

"I suspect that the disease in the village is related to this sword, so I hope you can tell me what you know!"

"You mean the diseases in our village are related to the sword?" The village chief looked surprised. "I don't quite understand what you said. That sword can cause diseases? No, how is this possible?"

"Village head!" Dr. Lu looked at him seriously, "I know this statement is hard to accept, but at this moment, you have no other choice but to trust me!"

The village chief sighed, "It's true. In a village where no doctors or outsiders are willing to come in, you come here for our disease. I am willing to believe you. But regarding this matter, after all, it has been a long time, so I can only share what I have learned." I’ll tell you what I know.”

Seeing that no one of them had time to talk to me, I had to sit by myself and listen.It's just that, for some reason, there seems to be an ominous premonition in my heart. It seems that I will get into some trouble again.

"That sword was given to my village by an alchemist a long time ago. It is said that at that time, a monster appeared in the forest near the village. It lurked there and killed the passing passengers, and even broke into the village frequently. Destroying crops and killing villagers. There is nothing we can do about it, and we even consider abandoning the village.”

Indeed, it is really unlucky to be noticed by a monster.
"Later, a passing alchemist villager saw the predicament of our village and gave us this sword. It was said to be made from a mineral that the monster was most afraid of. As long as the monster smelled this sword, The smell will make you hide far away. And this is the fact. Since the sword was hung at the entrance of the village, the monster has never appeared again. "

How useful is that shabby-looking, inconspicuous sword?This is really a sword that cannot be judged by its appearance! !

"After that, it should be to commemorate the alchemist, or to fear that the monster will return again. The sword has been hanging there, and it has gradually become a tradition. Our future generations will not force it Remove it, and over time, it will become a symbol of our village!"

"Is that all?" Dr. Lu listened carefully, and didn't ask until the village chief had finished speaking.

The village chief nodded, "After all, this matter has been going on for a long time. I heard what my grandfather said when I was very young. I think the most the villagers know is this."

Dr. Lu fell into deep thought again, and walked out of the village chief's house thinking all the way. Of course I followed, after all, I was also quite curious about the sword.

He came under the sword again and looked up at the epee that was suspended in the air.
So boring, so tired from standing, and my neck is so sore! !Uncle, why haven't you seen enough?
