Chapter 284 Dae Jang Geum and the Tiger Catching Army
"What's over?"
The bearded man stared at the young woman and scolded her loudly. His eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a pariah.
Lin Baici didn't know the clothing of this world, but the Koreans knew it. The young woman with the medicine hoe was wearing a green skirt, a sleeveless linen gown, and a long green cloth the width of a hand tied around her waist. Although
She was dirty and disgraced, but there was no doubt that she was dressed like a medical woman.
Most of the medical women were maidservants or the daughters of untouchables outside the palace. Although they knew some medical skills, in this ancient world where men respected women, their status was generally low because of their humble origins. Even during the reign of Lord Yeonsangun, medical women became doctors.
Prostitutes use sex to please people.
The young woman shrank her neck, with fear on her face, and turned around to leave.
The bearded man waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers immediately raised their bows and arrows.
Plop!
The woman knelt down.
"It seems that she should be the medical woman of this hospital. Maybe she knows something?"
Gu Qingqiu analyzed and asked Lin Baici to take action: "You warn them, don't scare her!"
Lin Baici felt that this bearded man was too rude to others.
"The medical woman knows a little bit about medical skills. It would be more appropriate to say she is a nurse, but in Korea..."
Gu Qingqiu has read a lot and knows the living conditions of medical women, so his attitude towards the bearded man is not surprising at all.
"Where is the Great Doctor?"
"What's going on here?"
"Where did those monsters come from?"
The bearded man strode up to the medical woman, shouted, pulled out his sword, and put it on the medical woman's neck: "Speak quickly, or I will chop you!"
The doctor woman lowered her head and said nothing, her body shivering like a quail frozen by the heavy snow.
"Say it!"
The bearded man brandished his knife, pretending to chop off the woman's head.
"Stop scaring her!"
Lin Baici shouted, walked over quickly, pushed the bearded man away, and then helped the woman up: "What's your name?"
The bearded man is not stupid. He knew that Lin Baici wanted to show off his face and use soft tactics, so he snorted and glared at the doctor: "This is Mr. Lin from the Kingdom of Heaven, please serve me carefully!"
This medical woman was in her twenties and was already deeply bound by feudal concepts. When she heard the bearded man's words, she would quickly kneel down and kowtow to Lin Baici.
Lin Baici's hand was very strong and he stopped the medical woman: "What's your name? I came to see the great doctor to correct this disease, to eliminate this plague, save the people from the fire and water, and save the people from hanging upside down!"
"My name is Dae Jang Geum!"
After the doctor girl finished speaking, she hesitated to speak, and finally shook her head.
Saying some things is a capital crime.
"Did you create those living corpses?"
Gu Qingqiu didn't bother to beat around the bush, so when he opened his mouth, he pointed straight to the point.
"No...no!"
Dae Jang Geum quickly denied it, his eyes wandering, not daring to look at Gu Qingqiu.
With this look, even a fool would know that there is something wrong with her.
"You are not surprised at all when you hear the word 'living corpse'!"
Gu Qingqiu looked at Da Janggeum: "Is the problem coming from the pot of broth?"
"..."
Dae Jang Geum was even more panicked.
"In a remote country where there is a famine, how can those patients afford meat? I've seen it. Their clothes are very shabby, and they probably can't afford the money to buy medicine, right?"
Gu Qingqiu pressed: "Explain it to me!"
"It's... the meat was obtained by a tiger-catching brother!"
Dae Jang Geum's voice was very low, trying to clear it up.
"The Tiger Hunting Army is an elite force, claiming that everyone has the combat effectiveness of a single tiger hunter!"
Jin Yingzhen popular science: "In ancient times, if they had no money to pay taxes, many people would choose to go into the mountains to hunt tigers. As long as you offer a tiger, you can get a tax deduction."
"What meat?"
Big Beard interrupted, he also saw that there was something wrong with the meat.
Gu Qingqiu thought for a while and suddenly frowned: "Human flesh?"
When Dae Jang Geum heard this word, his body trembled and he bowed his head deeply.
"Depend on!"
Lin Baici subconsciously uttered a curse word. Jin Yingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then the image of the pot of broth appeared in his mind.
No wonder some of the bones look familiar!
vomit!
Pickle girl wants to vomit.
"If you eat human flesh, will you become a monster?"
Big Beard is very calm. He has seen such things as changing children and eating them during the Great Disaster Years, so he is more concerned about how the living dead appeared.
"I...I don't know either. Judging from the current situation, if you eat human flesh after contracting leprosy, you will become a living dead!"
Dae Jang Geum went into the mountains to collect medicine at that time and was not at the medical center. When he came back, he saw everyone eating and drinking and said that the leader of the tiger hunting army had hunted a tiger.
It's winter now, and tigers are relatively rare. What's more, the big brother doesn't have any injuries on his body. This is not the image after fighting a tiger.
After all, Dae Jang Geum was a medical woman and knew medical skills. She only fished the pot once and saw the clues from the shapes of the bones and meat.
"What's so scary about these monsters?"
The bearded man asked.
Dae Jang Geum was silent.
"explain!"
The bearded man roared.
"Only by destroying their heads can they be killed."
When the first monster appeared, it was the tiger-catching brother named Li Tae-hyun who discovered it in time and killed it. Then seeing that the situation was not good, he dragged Dae Jang-geum out and locked up the doctor.
Hall gate.
After that, those patients began to mutate. Li Taixian was worried that these monsters would run out and hurt people, so he cut down bamboos, made bamboo spears, and placed them on the wall.
"It's just difficult to kill, but it's not impossible to kill?"
The bearded man was relieved, some mud-legged people had turned into monsters and were no match for the officers and soldiers.
[After a person becomes a living corpse, his strength will increase and he will not feel pain. The more humans he eats, the faster he will evolve. 】
[People bitten by living zombies will also turn into living zombies! 】
Nagami's comment made Lin Baici's brows suddenly wrinkled.
It is indeed contagious!
In this ancient world without gunpowder weapons, if you want to kill living corpses, you can only rely on physical combat, which is too difficult.
"What do you mean 'finished'?"
Jin Yingzhen asked.
"I want to study these living corpses and find a way to treat them!"
Dae Jang Geum had a look of anxiety on his face. There was a plague in Shangqing Mansion right now. As long as there were patients who had eaten human flesh, they might turn into monsters, which would harm the countryside and kill many people.
"Now that the living corpses have been burned by you, I don't have any corpses for research!"
Dae Jang Geum felt that this kind of living corpse was terrifying and must have unknown lethality. She wanted to research it quickly, otherwise the country would be over when there was a big outbreak.
[It does not mean that people infected with the plague will turn into living corpses if they eat human flesh!]
[The living corpses in this medical center are the second generation. After biting people, they will be infected into living corpses. 】
"Second generation?"
Lin Baici wondered: "Where is the first generation?"
The god didn't answer.
Lin Baici thought, could it be that there was something wrong with the pot of broth? "Who was the person they ate?"
"Yes Yes……"
Dae Jang Geum hesitated.
"Master Lin is asking you something, please tell me quickly!"
The bearded man urged.
"He is the apprentice of the Great Doctor!"
Dae Jang Geum felt very guilty.
"He was probably eaten after he died, right?"
Gu Qingqiu felt that no matter how ruthless the tiger hunter was, he would not kill a living person to eat.
"Yes! Yes! He's dead!"
Dae Jang Geum hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up and defended the tiger hunter: "Actually, Lee Tae Hyun also has good intentions. Everyone is going to starve to death, so it is better to be a well-fed ghost before dying!"
"Li Taixian said that when he dies, everyone can eat him and let him atone for his sins."
Lin Baici didn't care about this: "How did that apprentice die?"
"have no idea!"
Dae Jang Geum honestly confessed: "The great doctor came back with his body!"
"Come back? Where was the great doctor at that time?"
Lin Baici felt that this might be the source.
"Palace, treat the king!"
Da Jang Geum said, glancing at the bearded man. The king's physical condition has always been taboo and cannot be talked about.
"Is there something wrong with this king?"
Jin Yingzhen was suspicious.
"What disease does the king have?"
Lin Baici knew that Goryeo called the emperor Dawang.
Bearded men don't dare to ask this kind of question, or even listen to it.
"have no idea!"
Dae Jang Geum really didn’t know.
"Where is the Great Doctor now?"
Big Beard had a hunch that things would be in trouble this time.
"Going into the mountains to collect herbs!"
Dae Jang Geum glanced at the sky: "Then he never came back!"
With his status as a great doctor, he would generally not go into the mountains to collect medicine in person, not to mention the fact that it is still winter that can freeze people to death.
"Isn't it possible that he absconded out of fear of crime?"
As soon as Jin Yingzhen finished speaking, he heard Gu Qingqiu scream in surprise.
"Bai Ci, look!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the burning village. On the dirt road in the middle of the village, some figures appeared, staggering, walking this way.
The bearded man didn't pay attention, but Lin Baici immediately became vigilant.
"Ready to fight!"
After Lin Baici shouted in a low voice, he reminded Gu Qingqiu and Jin Yingzhen: "Trouble, the infection has spread, you follow me!"
After Dae Jang Geum glanced at it, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Be careful, it's a living corpse!"
I knew I couldn't prevent it!
Dae Jang Geum sighed.
A patient stole the broth and gave a bowl to the children at home, thus creating new zombies. Now that the sun has set and darkness has fallen, these zombies hiding in the shadows have come out to act.
Da Jang Geum's shout immediately attracted their attention, and the next second, these swaying living corpses suddenly started running towards this side, like mad dogs.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
As they roared, roars also sounded in other parts of the village, and then the living corpses began to run this way.
"run!"
Lin Baici didn't want to fight the monster, so he got on his horse, then rode his horse to Da Jang Geum, bent down, hugged her, and pulled her onto the horse.
The living corpse ran over very quickly.
The officers and soldiers without horses ran for more than thirty meters. When they saw that they were about to be overtaken, they were very nervous. Several soldiers stopped and started shooting arrows.
"Xiba, if you can't run away, shoot them to death!"
A tall man roared.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
An arrow whizzed past and pierced the chest of a large-headed living corpse. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been struck by the arrow and fell to the ground, but the living corpse continued to run as if nothing happened.
Ten seconds later, a large living corpse rushed over.
The tall man turned around to run away, but was knocked down by the big-headed zombie. Then he felt pain in his shoulder and was bitten.
