Xiao Chen, Mo Xiaowan, and Sang lived in a room with a wooden bed.
Now after such an incident, the people of Xitang Miao Village are all panicked. Many people also light up lamps to rest, standing in the window and looking at the Miao Village. In fact, this Miao Village looks quite beautiful.
"Xiao Chen, do you think there is any connection between the person killed by Gu and the theft of the body?" Sang asked.
"Sister Sang, I think there is a direct relationship. Why do you think the murderer used poison to harm people? It was just to steal the body."
Xiao Chen felt that since he could cast poison, the theft of the corpse must be related to the fact that the murderer wanted to use the corpse to practice witchcraft.
When Xiao Chen and sister Xiaowan went to Thailand, what happened to Boss Dong's friend was actually somewhat similar to what happened now.
However, that incident seemed even more terrifying.
"Xiao Chen, it's really possible that this is the case. I almost forgot to connect this matter."
Witchcraft gate?
Were the villagers of Xitang Miao Village bewitched?
Villagers were poisoned to death, buried, and then their bodies disappeared?
All this seems to be a conspiracy planned in advance.
"Sister Sang, sister Xiaowan, you guys need to rest first."
Xiao Chen asked the two girls to lie on the bed to rest, while he sat on the mat.
There is also a lamp burning in the room now, and the burning pine oil has a smell of pine oil, which is a bit unpleasant, but the window is open.
Time passed quietly, and the Xitang Miao Village soon became quiet. Except for the occasional barking of dogs and the cry of children, no other strange sounds were heard.
Xiao Chen sat there, closing his eyes and practicing.
In the dead of night, Xiao Chen felt as if his thoughts were flying far away.
When he felt as if someone was looking at him from the window outside, Xiao Chen immediately woke up.
After he stood up and walked out of the door, he saw that there was no one there.
Is this strange?
It was obvious that I had seen someone just now, so why was there no one there now?
When Xiao Chen returned to his room, after lighting the lamp, Sang opened his eyes and asked strangely: "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
"Sister Sang, I seemed to have seen something just now."
"What did you see? Nothing."
"I am not sure as well."
Xiao Chen didn't even have time to look out with his clairvoyant eyes just now, because the figure had disappeared.
Although Xiao Chen has encountered many strange things, he has not encountered many things like this.
"Sister Sang, you continue to sleep."
After blowing out the lamp, let Sang continue to rest.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the morning that Xiao Chen and Sang got up when they heard the rooster crow.
Maybe it's halfway up the mountain, or maybe it's because the days are long and the nights are short, so I saw the sky light up very early.
Now Patriarch Long is here too. Patriarch Long’s wife, a grandma in her fifties, has already gotten up to make breakfast.
"Dr. Xiao, did you sleep well last night?" Chief Long asked.
"Well enough."
When Chief Long's wife prepared Xiao Chen's hands for washing, Xiao Chen suddenly felt something was wrong when he just took a sip of the water.
He hurriedly said: "Grandma, there is something wrong with the water."
Have a problem with the water?
What's wrong with water?
"Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with this water? This is mountain spring water. We have always used this mountain spring water."
"Contaminated."
Contaminated?
Chief Long and his wife couldn't believe it.
When Xiao Chen smelled the water carefully, he felt that it was indeed polluted, and there was a smell in it. If it was clean mountain spring water, there would definitely be no such smell.
"Chief, where is the water source? Take me to see it quickly."
This made Chief Long take Xiao Chen over to take a look. Going up from the mountainside, Xiao Chen saw many pipelines.
These pipes are basically connected in series with bamboo pipes, and then connected to every household. Because the water source is in the mountains, from top to bottom, there is no difficulty at all. The water from these mountain springs usually flows directly to each house.
Every household.
This can also be the tap water here in Miao Village.
However, this should all be free.
After following the leader of the dragon clan to climb to 400 meters, which is the highest point of the water source, Xiao Chen had already seen a large pool.
"Mr. Xiao, this mountain spring water gushes out from here. It is very clean. Usually in this storage tank, the mountain spring water flows directly to each house. Except for the water in winter, which may be less, in other seasons, the mountain spring water here is
It’s inexhaustible.”
Chief Long just finished speaking and when he took Xiao Chen over to look at the water tank, Xiao Chen suddenly smelled that the smell of death became stronger.
"Chief Long, this mountain spring water must be polluted. Look, there is something pressed down there."
Chief Long looked over and found that it was really like that.
When Patriarch Long was about to jump into the water, Xiao Chen hurriedly grabbed him.
Instead, let him call someone and use something to hook up the things in the water tank here.
Not long after, when Chief Long called people over, after they used iron hooks to hook up generations of things from under the reservoir, the putrid smell became even stronger.
When I looked at it, I found that it was actually a dead pig and a dead duck, and they were all infested with maggots, which looked very scary.
There are so many carcasses of these animals here. If those people drink the water, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their stomachs, and they may even die.
This is too cruel!
"Mr. Xiao, how could this happen?" Chief Long asked in disbelief.
"I don't know. You can't drink this mountain spring water. If you have a stomachache after drinking it just now, I need to take a look first."
Seeing the maggots in the water tank, both Mo Xiaowan and Sang felt like vomiting.
After coming down from the water storage tank on the mountain, Xiao Chen no longer dared to eat the breakfast cooked by the grandma just now. The chief Long and his wife also did not dare to use the water here, fearing that they would have to use other spare water.
"Chief Long, I'm going to see those poisoned patients first."
There is no clean water to wash with now, so we can only wait for the wife of the dragon patriarch, that is, the grandma to fetch water from other places. After Xiao Chen and the others washed up, they went to the patients who were poisoned by the human grass plant poison last night.
past.
After coming to one of the patients, Xiao Chen examined him and found that his condition was indeed much better now under his treatment.
Now the other party's condition is that he needs to continue to drink medicinal decoction for treatment.
After Xiao Chen examined the patients and asked their families in detail, Xiao Chen returned to Chief Long.
When we got back there, Patriarch Long's wife, grandma, had already prepared a simple breakfast, and all the breakfast she had just made was thrown away.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Patriarch Long is also worried. One thing is happening one after another. If he doesn't handle it well, he, the patriarch, may not have to do anything anymore.
