It was getting late at this time, and the doctor suggested that the villagers go back to rest and check the water source at dawn.Just remember not to eat casually, so as not to be poisoned again.

Others didn't understand why the villagers were poisoned, but the poisoner naturally knew it well.

Today's situation is really beyond everyone's expectations. There is really no other way to choose to throw the tens of thousands of catties of illegal salt into Quxi. Only in this way can the evidence be completely destroyed.

That night, Hu Hu's confidants anxiously approached Hu Hu and asked what to do.

"Village chief, we have caused a catastrophe! Nearly 24 villagers died from eating poisonous salt water, and [-] people from our Hu family also died. Now the whole village is a mourning hall. If...if we are found, we should... What should I do?"

Hu Hu's expression was still calm: "Why panic? Who can suspect us without evidence?"

"But...but that's nearly a hundred lives. 9 There is Quxi, what about Quxi? Where can we find water to drink?"

"Woman's benevolence! If I hadn't acted decisively, you, me, and even the entire Hu family would have been exterminated! It's a blessing that the Hu family has only killed more than [-] people. The poisonousness of Quxi is only temporary, and the water of Quxi flows into Bijiang. It won’t be long before it’s back to normal.” Hu Hu said nonchalantly, then suddenly thought of something, and added, “Give me a list of the dead in the Hu family today.”

Not long after, Hu Hu had a blank piece of paper in his hand, on which were written the names of more than [-] people.

Hu Hu watched with a serious expression, and after a while, said quietly: "Call Hu Ming, Hu Ling, and Hu Fangxing."

"The three of them are vigil for their dead parents."

"Call them here! Just say I'm ashamed of them and give them a sum of money."

……

……

At three o'clock, Hu Ming and the other three arrived at Hu Hu's room with tears in their eyes, and stood there quietly.

Hu Hu looked at them with a miserable expression, and sighed heavily after pacing: "Hey! I am the one who is sorry for you!"

The desolate sigh of regret and self-blame evoked the sad memories of the three of them, and they couldn't help crying in their hearts: "It's me! I killed my parents with my own hands! It's me who poisoned me!"

"My wife, my son also died after drinking poisonous salt water! What a retribution!"

"If it weren't for us being greedy for money and doing the business of selling private salt, how could we have what happened today? I regret it!"

Hu Hu watched coldly, but his expression was extremely sad: "Don't cry! I, Hu Hu, am ashamed of you. Do you still have relatives in your family?"

"It's gone! I'm the only one left!"

"Me too!"

Hu Hu smiled: "Then I will send you to the underground to find your family."

Chapter 229: Cause of Poisoning

At dawn in the morning, all the villagers in Bixi Village followed the doctor from Bizhou to the Quxi River.

But the scene beside Quxi surprised everyone. Quxi, which used to be crystal clear, turned into a stream shrouded in white mist. Found something different.

The water in the stream is not much different, but there are countless dead fish and shrimps floating on the surface of the water, which is shocking. Some slowly flow down the stream, and some are washed directly onto the rocks beside the stream. up.

The grass by the stream survived by the stream soaked into the soil. Now that the stream has deteriorated, the grass by the stream has also suffered a catastrophe, and it has withered overnight.

With such a scene, why don't you know that there is something wrong with the stream?

The villagers began to talk about it.

"I just said that when I came to fetch water from the stream yesterday, I felt something was wrong. At that time, the fish and shrimps in the river were not dead, so I didn't care. Who would think that the stream water that has been eaten for a lifetime will poison people to death?"

"Yeah! Yesterday when we were eating, I felt something was wrong. It was much saltier than before, and I didn't care about it at the time. Fortunately, I didn't die, hey! Poor people in the village!"

Li Quan stayed by the doctor's side all the time, looking at the stream with frowns: "Doctor, what kind of poison is it?"

The doctor dipped his hand into some brook water, licked it on his lips under the terrified eyes of everyone, thought for a long time, and shook his head.

Li Quan: "What do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Forgive my ignorance, I can't tell what kind of poison is causing the trouble."

The villagers panicked, even the doctors of Bizhou and Antang didn't know what poison it was, what should they do?

As soon as the words fell, the doctor made another quiet movement: "Don't panic, everyone. Although I don't know what kind of poison it is, I can conclude that this poison is not a very poisonous thing. It's like a mixture of countless common poisons, which are not enough to be fatal. , but the amount of poison in the water is too much, and the weak, old, and people who drink too much water cannot bear the pain caused by the poison, so they die. The water is bitter and unpalatable, but the toxicity is not strong. Moreover, the amount of poison used has polluted the entire Bijiang River so unbelievably. Let me go back and read the classics to make a deduction. During this time, everyone must not use this water again."

The doctor said so much, but the villagers were concerned about the last two sentences.

Can't drink Bixi water anymore!

Bixi Village has a radius of ten miles, and there is only one water source in Bixi. If you don’t want to drink Bixi water, you have to go to Bizhou to get Bijiang water.It takes a whole day to go to Bizhou and Bijiang to go back and forth, so how should we live in the future?

The villagers expressed their worries one after another, and the doctor explained again:

"Everyone, in order to save lives, this is also a helpless move. But this situation will not last for too long, the Quxi water will flow into the Bijiang River, the poisonous water will decrease every day, and one day it will return to its original state. I can't think of half a month, The stream water will be drinkable again."

The deceased is dead. Although the villagers are very sad, what they are most concerned about now is how to live in the future.After listening to the doctor's words, everyone is relieved. As long as it is not like this forever, it is okay to insist on going to Bizhou to fetch water for half a month.

As for why the stream was suddenly poisonous, no matter how wild the imagination of the villagers, they couldn't figure out why.After all, to poison the entire trickle, the amount needed is too much, and the toxicity is not strong, no one can understand why.

Since he couldn't think of a result, he could only wait for the doctor's further judgment.

After the doctor took some samples and left, the villagers also dispersed.

Li Quanshou stayed by the stream and did not leave.

He also took a sip of the stream water, and the bitter taste made him spit a few mouthfuls.Xin Dao, this is definitely not someone intentionally poisoning, this kind of strange smell, as long as you taste the first bite, no one will taste the second bite.If you intentionally poison, you must choose some colorless and odorless poisons.

"What's going on? Why did Hu Xiaomiao get poisoned after eating the food made by the stream, but nothing happened to me? When I drank the soup, I thought it was salt water..."

"By the way! Salt water! This water tastes like a catty of salt in a liter of water!" Li Quan had a flash of inspiration, his expression was serious, but his heart was gradually churning!

Ancient salt is somewhat different from modern salt, and Li Quan still dare not confirm his judgment.To prove it, Li Quan hurried back to Bazhang Pavilion.

Liu Ga was baking pancakes by the stove at Bazhang Pavilion, and now there was no water to drink, so he had to eat dry pancakes for cooking.

Liu Ga was about to take a pancake out of the pan, but Li Quan suddenly pushed it away: "Salt! Where's the salt?"

Liu Ga was taken aback by Li Quan's surprise. He was concerned about the pancakes he baked. He rushed up to grab the pancakes with his bare hands and put them on a plate, complaining repeatedly: "Boss, what are you doing? I bake all the pancakes." It's blurry."

Li Quan ignored it, staring at the pots and pans on the stove, turning them over and over again: "Salt? I'll find the salt."

"Salt? Boss, what are you doing with salt?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

"Oh." Liu Ga was puzzled, but he honestly brought the salt to Li Quan.

"Is there still clean water?"
