In terms of potential value, it has increased by a full 3 points, which is also a huge improvement!

The increase in potential can make Su Changkong even more evil, making it easier to practice various martial arts, forming a virtuous cycle!

Wu Qin Xi and Turtle Breath Skills all broke through together, making Su Changkong feel relaxed for a long time, but he did not slack off either.

"Beyond the brave warriors, there must be stronger ones. Being able to dominate and dominate near a mere small town is nothing!"

Su Changkong secretly said that the body-forging realm is only the first realm for warriors. There are mountains outside the world, so don't be arrogant and complacent.

Su Changkong practiced as usual every day. He could feel that his progress in blacksmithing and swordsmanship had become easier and faster. To reach the seventh realm, he only needed to practice hard.

Winter is passing and spring is coming. The severe cold winter has passed, and a warm spring has arrived as promised.

"Clang clang clang!"

On this morning, Su Changkong finished practicing Wuqinxi, and the bell rang in the Black Iron Villa to call for roll calls.

As usual, everyone gathered in the square of Black Iron Villa, and Director Liu called out names.

"Qian Yue! Isn't Qian Yue here?"

But soon, Manager Liu frowned slightly because he called a name several times, but no one answered!

"Qian Yue...he seems to be ill today and is resting in his dormitory."

Soon, a man said something.

"Well... now that the weather has changed, everyone should pay attention to the temperature."

When Manager Liu heard this, he didn't pursue it further. It was normal for hundreds of people to catch colds and get sick.

Su Changkong didn't care at first, but this incident was unusual!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to gather again in the morning and take roll call.

"Lu Yi has suffered some cold and asked me to take a leave of absence!"

"And Li Yi, he is not feeling well today and vomited early in the morning. He cannot come to work today."

Someone said something one after another, which made Manager Liu frown.

"Could it be the flu?" Su Changkong's heart also moved. It was so unusual for so many people to get sick at the same time. Su Changkong thought of the flu which is quite contagious!

"Cough cough cough... I... I seem to be sick too..."

At this time, a man coughed violently and his face turned pale.

Su Changkong remembered that this man's name was Sun Qian, and he was also the foundry master of Black Iron Villa.

"Cough...cough!"

Sun Qian coughed violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs. The other people nearby unconsciously moved away, with worried looks on their faces, and Sun Qian also covered his mouth with his hands.

After coughing for more than ten times, Sun Qian stopped coughing, but there was blood between his palms and fingers.

"This...this..." Sun Qian looked at the blood he coughed up. He looked pale. His body had always been healthy, but he ended up being so sick that he coughed up blood?

"Two people are here to take Sun Qian back to rest, and Qian Yue and the others... they are not allowed to go out or have contact with other people for the time being!"

Upon seeing this, Manager Liu immediately ordered with an unprecedented serious expression on his face.

"yes!"

Everyone agreed, and at the same time everyone looked heavy.

If it's the flu, that's fine, but if it's the plague... it'll be troublesome!

"Is it a plague? This winter has just passed!" Su Changkong also frowned. He knew that in ancient times, the most terrifying thing was not only natural disasters and man-made disasters, but the plague was also extremely terrifying, even more terrible than the previous two.

The level of medical care and sanitary conditions were limited. In ancient times, if you were infected with the plague, it basically depended on your luck. If you could survive it, you would survive. If you couldn't, you would have to wait to die!

Manager Liu immediately reported the matter to Mo Tie, and Mo Tie took it very seriously. The method he adopted was very simple, which was to isolate Qian Yue and other sick people, and have special personnel deliver water and meals without contact with other people.

But in the end, the matter was not over. Another day passed, and the number of sick people increased from four to seven. The other three people had no interaction with Qian Yue and others on weekdays, but they were still sick!

Everyone in Black Iron Villa was panicked and anxious.

"No...this doesn't seem to be a plague, flu."

In the evening of that day, Su Changkong finished practicing Wu Qin Xi. He took a water bottle and took two sips, but suddenly his heart beat slightly, and a faint sense of warning arose.

"puff!"

Su Changkong spit out the water immediately, and his expression changed.

"Water source...is it a problem with the water source?"

Su Changkong looked at the kettle in his hand, and his heart moved.

Seven people have fallen ill in Black Iron Villa, but several of them have basically no contact with each other on weekdays. If there is one thing that everyone does every day, it is eating and drinking water!

Water is something everyone must drink every day. Is the reason why people are suddenly infected with the disease due to the water source?

"Go find the owner."

Su Changkong felt that it was necessary to investigate this aspect. He immediately got up and went to the backyard of Black Iron Villa to look for Mo Tie.

It was already evening, and in a room, Mo Tie frowned: "So many people are sick... is it influenza or plague? Yesterday, someone went to Qingshui City to find Dr. Liu, but when Dr. Liu heard about the situation, he gave him more

I don’t even have the money to come and see Black Iron Villa.”

Ordinary illnesses were nothing more than illnesses suspected of being plague. Most doctors would avoid snakes and scorpions for fear of getting into trouble. Mo Tie asked people to go to the doctors in Qingshui City, but those doctors only suggested that Mo Tie isolate those who had the symptoms.

, never have direct contact with it.

"Bang bang bang!"

Outside, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Mo Tie said after coming back to his senses.

"Zhi!"

A tall young man pushed open the door and walked in. It was Su Changkong!

"Changkong? Why did you come to see me?" Mo Tie was slightly surprised. Su Changkong was a low-key person and rarely came to him.

"Master, many people in the village have been sick recently. Is the root cause related to food and water?" Su Changkong said straight to the point without any nonsense.

Regarding water and food, even Su Changkong must drink water and eat on time. If there is a problem with these two, then everyone in Black Iron Villa will have a problem!

"Yes...water, go check the water source!"

When Mo Tie heard this, his body suddenly shook and he stood up suddenly.

Originally, they thought it was something like the flu, but could there be a problem with the water source?

"Old Liu, ask two people to go to the back mountain with me to see the Black Iron Pond."

Mo Tie immediately found Manager Liu and gave the order.

"I'll go too." Su Changkong was also prepared to accompany him to the scene. It is better to know nothing than to be prepared if you know something!

Mo Tie, Manager Liu, Su Changkong and two of Mo Tie's confidants headed towards the back hill of Black Iron Villa.

Black Iron Pool, this is a water pool located in the back hill of Black Iron Villa.

There are hundreds of people in Black Iron Villa, and the water well cannot supply water for everyone. The Black Iron Pond is the source of water for Black Iron Villa. Whether it is drinking water or water used for forging and quenching, it all comes from the Black Iron Pond.

The water in the Black Iron Pond is so clear that you can occasionally see a few leaves floating on the water. When the wind blows, the surface of the lake ripples.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with Black Iron Pool.

"Old Zhang, go down and take a look."

Mo Tie said to a man.

This man's name is Zhang Shu, and he is good at water.

"good!"

Zhang Shu nodded in agreement. He took off his clothes, shoes and socks, and only wore a pair of underpants. He jumped into the black iron pool and dived towards the bottom of the pool to explore.

Occasionally his head would pop up to take a breath.

After a while of burning incense, I finally discovered something!

"Master...look!"

And Zhang Shu stuck his head out of the water and shouted.

In Zhang Shu's hand, he was holding a mouse!

To be precise, it was the corpse of a rat.

Zhang Shu climbed to the shore and threw the rat corpse on the ground.
