The medicine apprentice went to investigate the source with himself early this morning, but now he is sick, there must be some connection.

When Xu Hang and Duan Yelin rushed out, they saw the medicine apprentice crazily grabbing himself on the ground, like a person thirsty for water in the desert, his eyes widened and trembling, and the rest of the people dared not approach, just because the medicine Massive rashes and redness appeared on the gangster's body.

Seeing that no one was going to help, Xu Hang rushed forward, held the medicine apprentice down, and pinched his arm to diagnose his pulse.But the medicine apprentice completely seemed to be unable to control himself, so he pushed Xu Hang away and ran towards the water tank beside him: "Water! Water!"

Then with a splash, he fell into the water tank.

Xu Hang immediately ordered: "Come two people, put on gloves, and fish him out! Everything the medicine apprentice touched today, burn them and throw them away! Also, burn the wormwood quickly, and then go buy some alcohol disinfect!"

Everyone panicked before taking the order to do things, and was busy for a while, the medicine apprentice held his breath for too long, and passed out, Xu Hang asked someone to clean up a room and locked him inside.

Duan Yelin waited for him to finish before asking: "What's going on?"

Xu Hang put his hand on the medicine apprentice's wrist, and carefully checked the pulse. It was really a plague. He thought about it: "We went to the places where the corpses were found this morning, and we didn't do anything else."

"You went too? Is there anything wrong with you?" Duan Yelin suddenly looked at Xu Hang nervously, and reached out to touch his forehead, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? What did you eat, drink, touch? No?"

"I'm fine..." Xu Hang took his hand off, but was stunned for a moment.

Because Duan Yelin's words gave him an inspiration, he suddenly stood up: "What did you drink... By the way, the medicine apprentice once drank water from a well! Well water from a wasteland in the eastern suburbs!"

Xu Hang did not drink from that well, which was the only difference between him and the medicine apprentice.

Eastern suburbs?Duan Yelin thought for a while, and seemed a little skeptical: "You mean someone tampered with the well water in the eastern suburbs? Hmm...it's unlikely."

"why?"

"I have adjusted the waterways in the city. The wells outside the suburbs are all dead wells, and the water is also dead water. There are not many people who can be recruited there. If I were the poisoner, I would not be stupid enough to do it there. "

In this way, it seems that some explanations do not make sense.Xu Hang frowned and thought about it for a while: "No matter what, let someone go get the well water back first, and I'll test it first."

He made a quick decision, and in less than an hour, he sent someone to fetch the water back, and Xu Hang used it to experiment on mice.

Because the mice are small in size and drink a lot of water, the onset of the disease is much faster than that of the drug apprentice, and many symptoms are somewhat similar.This incident clearly shows that the well water is poisonous.

Xu Hang dug up the information given by Duan Zhanzhou to check. Among the dead, only three or four people were from the eastern suburbs. The others were far away from the eastern suburbs. Something happened in other wells?

In order to test this idea, Xu Hang took water from other wells and fed them to different mice, but none of them died.

The source is not the well water. It is impossible for someone to poison a well water that does not circulate at all.But how to explain this problematic well water?

The investigation reached a stalemate, and Xu Hang couldn't find a clue even if he forgot to sleep and eat.

Until one day at noon, Chanyi came to deliver lunch to Xu Hang, and found that he had not even touched his breakfast, and put it there intact. You can't starve yourself!"

If Chanyi started to chatter, it would be more terrifying than five hundred ducks. Xu Hang put down the tools in his hand, washed his hands with saponin and wormwood, and sat down at the dinner table: "Okay, I see, you did it today. What?"

"Five-spice steamed cabbage, steamed winter melon with minced garlic, loofah soup, and fried dried radish."

Put them out one by one, they look delicious, but they are considered vegetarian.

"Is it that I, Jin Yantang, have run out of money, or have you skimped on your clothes?" Xu Hang laughed.

Chanyi pursed her mouth, and the boss was not happy: "Amitabha, these vegetables are more expensive than meat now. The farmers in the vegetable fields all said that this year's harvest is not good, and the price of vegetables is soaring. Now this table is expensive. .”

Xu Hang picked up a chopstick of cabbage: "It's not a severe drought this year, why is the harvest not good? I think it must be..." Before he could finish speaking, he stopped in place.

vegetable.The harvest was not good.

It seems to have a special meaning.

In the blink of an eye, a picture flashed in front of Xu Hang, which was yellow vegetables, untended wasteland, and dead rat corpses.

These few things are connected in series, like several small parts, and then spliced ​​together to form a key, which immediately opened the mystery in Xu Hang's mind.

With a slap, he slapped the chopsticks on the table, and Chanyi was startled.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it earlier!" After finishing speaking, Xu Hang rushed out without a mouthful of food.

Chanyi was almost jumping in the back: "The head of the house! I haven't eaten yet! Where are you going?! The head of the house!"

Xu Hang ran to the outskirts, picked off those withered, yellow, and dying vegetable leaves in different fields, tied them up one by one, marked them, and brought them back to his medicine room.

Chop the vegetable leaves, mix them with minced meat, and feed them to the mice spoon by spoon, and watch them with a small bench.

Half an hour later, the rats seemed restless.

An hour later, the mice were running around in the cage, bumping into each other, and biting the side of the cage.

After another stick of incense, they desperately looked for water to drink, as if they had never drank water in their entire lives, and even scrambled to the point of biting each other.

After another pot of tea, Xu Hang only had to turn around to get water. Half of the mice were on their backs, their mouths were slightly open, their skin was festered, and they were all dead.

And the other half seemed fine.

Xu Hang put down the water glass with a solemn expression. He finally found the source of the plague.

Not because of well water, but because of vegetable fields.

Some people tampered with these vegetable fields, so the vegetables withered and died. The rats gnawed on the poisonous vegetables and became thirsty for water. They rushed to the well to find water to drink, and then drowned in the well.

People don't know how to drink water from dead wells, but they can eat those vegetables. Vegetables that have been poisoned in the first few days have no symptoms, and only gradually wither over time.

The medicine apprentice didn't live in the suburbs, so he didn't know the water was stagnant water, so he took a sip and got tricked.

After observing the mice for a few days, Xu Hang found that the virus was not stable, and the incidence rate was not very high. Only half of the mice died of skin ulceration.That's why the poisoning was only carried out on a small scale in Hezhou city, presumably it was experimented on those poor people.

Once the nature of the virus is stabilized and it is released into wells connected by waterways, I am afraid that the whole of Hezhou...

reduced to hell.

Such a vicious mind.

He was a little flustered and wanted to drink some water to calm his shock. As soon as the water glass touched his lips, he frowned and threw it out.Knowing the truth, he really didn't even dare to drink water.

The most terrible thing is that so far, he has not been able to develop an effective vaccine.There is no original formula for the virus, and just prescribing the right medicine is simply a drop in the bucket, making the soup stop the boiling, and treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

The medicine man is dead.The prescriptions used during his treatment only allowed him to live a few more days and eased the pain.

He Zhou's calamity, how should he resolve it?

It seems that right now, we can only seal off the wells in the whole city.
