We talked to Mr. Qi earnestly for an hour, but he still refused to let go. Wen Qingshan had to say: "Second Master Qi, whether you believe it or not, what I just said is by no means alarmist. The Black Devil Sect does exist.
If they plan to open the treasure, the people from Qiping Village must be them
The biggest obstacle is that these guys are ruthless. It’s hard to say what cruel things they will do. If you are willing to cooperate with us to unearth the treasure, not only will the villagers be prevented from being harmed by these guys, but the country will also have a big problem.
Why not get a small reward?"
However, Second Master Qi kept his head buried, not saying a word, just smoking his dry cigarette desperately. Wen Qingshan shook his head helplessly. Huang Yixian said to the two of us: "I think Second Master Qi hasn't figured it out yet! This
It’s really difficult for him to handle such a big matter all of a sudden.”
Having said this, he turned to Second Master Qi and said: "Second Master Qi, the Bai family has guarded this treasure for more than three hundred years. It's time to let it see the light of day again. We can't let all those gold and silver treasures rot in the ground.
?That is a waste of natural resources! It is better to open the treasure and hand it over to the country than to fall into the hands of those bastards from the cult. We have said what needs to be said, please think about it carefully, and we will come back tomorrow."
After bidding farewell to Mr. Qi, we returned to the village committee’s residence. Everyone was a little disappointed when we learned that we failed to convince Mr. Qi. Haibeard couldn’t help but speculate: “Since Mr. Qi also knows the secret of the treasure, will he?
Are you also in the same group as those guys from the cult?"
When I heard this, I immediately denied it: "Impossible! Second Master Qi is definitely not such a person!"
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I have had such suspicions, but after thinking about it carefully, if he is really a member of a cult, it should not stop us from digging into the village to find treasures.
"
"How do you say this?" No one understood.
Wen Qingshan explained: "Although the people in the cult know that the treasure is hidden in Qipan Valley, they don't know the specific location. Now I'm afraid we are the only ones who know where the treasure may be hidden, so I think the people in the cult should be waiting.
Let us carry out the excavation, so that once the location of the treasure is determined, they can reap the benefits."
"You mean, the people from the Black Evil Cult are still watching us secretly?"
Wen Qingshan nodded.
I said with some confusion: "But if it is true that we discovered the treasure first, what else could they do? Could it be possible that they could come and steal it? After all, there are hundreds of villagers in the village!"
"Shi Yu is right! Boss Wen, I think you are overthinking it. Since the people from the Black Demon Cult have listened to our conversations, they should already know that the treasure is hidden in the village, but there is no movement.
.Maybe they were afraid and decided to give up."
Wen Qingshan smiled and asked Huang Yixian: "Master Huang, do you think these guys are greedy for life and afraid of death? They used all means to achieve their goals. During the Anti-Japanese War, they even did not hesitate to collude with the Japanese Black Dragon Society.
, killed many anti-Japanese martyrs. Not to mention the treasure is buried under the village, even if it has been placed in a bank vault, they may not give up so easily."
As soon as he said this, my mind suddenly jumped and I said in surprise: "Boss Wen, do you think these guys will attack the villagers of Qiping Village in order to get the treasure?"
When I said this, everyone was surprised.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, so we have to unearth the treasure and hand it over to the country as soon as possible. Only in this way can the villagers of Qiping Village be safe."
As we were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door. Huang Yixian was slightly startled and said, "Who locked the door of the main room?" After all, the place we live in is the village committee, which is considered a public place.
Therefore, the main hall door is generally not locked.
Wen Qingshan explained: "I locked it when I came back just now to prevent anyone from sneaking in and eavesdropping."
As he spoke, he got up and walked outside, and everyone followed him.
The door opened, but it was Bai Sanyuan. He was holding the door frame with one hand and breathing heavily, as if he had been running all the way.
"Brother Sanyuan, why are you here?" Huang Yixian asked.
Bai Sanyuan said eagerly: "I...my father asked you to come over quickly, something...something happened..."
"What happened?" Huang Yixian asked quickly.
"Many people in the village suddenly... suddenly fell ill. They are all in the village infirmary now. Zhengmin has no idea now."
Bai Zhengmin is the doctor at the village clinic and the only person in Qiping Village who has a medical license.
When I heard this, I immediately turned to look at Wen Qingshan and said, "Boss Wen, could it be someone from the Black Demon Sect who did this?"
Wen Qingshan's expression was unusually solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the infirmary." He took a few steps forward, then turned to Hai Beard and said, "Brother Hai, you and Niu Yazi stay here.
Guard him to prevent people from the cult from causing trouble again." Apparently, he was worried that someone would secretly install a bug in the room again.
Seabeard and Fatty Niu nodded immediately.
Bai Sanyuan led a few of us straight to the village clinic.
Before we reached the village infirmary, we saw dozens of villagers gathered in front of the infirmary, including men and women, old and young. Some of them were holding their stomachs, and some were holding their stomachs.
They were holding their heads, and their expressions all looked very painful. Bai Zhengmin, the only doctor in the infirmary, was busy going back and forth, and he was sweating profusely. Mr. Qi and several villagers who didn't seem to be sick were standing in front of them.
On the side, he kept comforting everyone, but he was also at a loss.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Bai Sanyuan said in shock: "How...why did so many people gather at once? When I came to call you just now, there were only a dozen."
"Could it be collective food poisoning?" Jianjian speculated.
I said: "People in the village have not gathered together to eat these days, how could there be collective food poisoning! In my opinion, it may be some kind of acute epidemic."
As soon as I finished speaking, Mr. Qi happened to look up and saw us. He immediately came over to greet us. After approaching, he said anxiously: "Professor Wen, Huang Daochang, you two have seen the world and know a lot. Please help them."
Look, what kind of disease is this!"
Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian didn't say anything. They immediately walked towards the villagers quickly. Wen Qingshan grabbed the wrist of a villager nearby, took his pulse, turned to Huang Yixian and said: "His pulse is very messy."
, it seemed like a ball of air was rushing inside his body."
Huang Yixian lowered his head and asked the villager: "Fellow, what makes you uncomfortable?"
The villager closed his eyes tightly and said with a painful expression: "I... my head hurts so much, and my stomach... is so bloated, it just... feels like it's about to explode."
They asked several other villagers, and they all basically had the same symptoms, including unbearable abdominal distension and splitting headaches.
Huang Yixian asked Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, what disease do you think they have?"
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "I'm afraid they are not sick, but poisoned!"
"Poisoned!?" Huang Yixian was surprised.
Second Master Qi was busy asking: "What is poison?"
Wen Qingshan turned around and asked him: "Second Master Qi, do you still remember how Bai Xiaowu died?"
As soon as Wen Qingshan mentioned Bai Xiaowu who died suddenly yesterday, Mr. Qi's face suddenly turned pale, and he stammered: "You...you mean, he...they were all killed by that...that
What kind of poison did you bite?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "You can say that."
Second Master Qi sat down on the ground and murmured: "Is it difficult... is our Baijia Village really going to be destroyed?"
Wen Qingshan hurriedly helped him up and said: "Second Master Qi, listen to what I have to say first. There are many kinds of voodoos. Bai Xiaowu's is probably the most powerful golden silkworm voodoo. Except for those who cast the voodoo, it is difficult for ordinary people to cure.
But the people in the village probably have ordinary poisonous insect voodoos, and as long as we find a way to expel the voodoo bugs from their bodies, they should be able to recover."
"Boss Wen, do you know how to drive away poison?" Huang Yixian was a little surprised.
Wen Qingshan said: "In order to study the cause of Hunchback's death, I consulted a large amount of information, learned something about poisonous poisons, and also mastered some methods to get rid of poisonous poisons."
When Second Master Qi heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. He suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of Wen Qingshan. His lips trembled slightly and he said excitedly: "Professor Wen, you can do it no matter what."
If you want to save everyone, the lives of the entire village must be entrusted to you."
"Second Master Qi, please get up quickly, Wen can't bear it! Don't worry, Wen will do his best!"
Wen Qingshan hurriedly helped Mr. Qi up, turned around and said to Bai Sanyuan and several young men who had no symptoms of being poisoned, "Brother Sanyuan, I need to trouble you to help me get a few things."
Bai Sanyuan immediately said: "If Professor Wen needs anything, just ask!"
"I need realgar, garlic seeds, and, by the way, spirits! The higher the alcohol content, the better."
"Okay! Okay! Let's go right away." Bai Sanyuan led several young men and turned around and ran away.
Wen Qingshan said to me and Jianjian again: "You two go dig some earthworms in the soil, the more the better!"
There happened to be a vegetable field next to the village infirmary. Jianjian and I immediately took a wooden basin from the infirmary. We didn't care that the green peppers in the vegetable field were growing well, so we ran straight into the vegetable field and started digging.
.
There are quite a lot of earthworms in this field, and within a short time, the two of us had already dug half of the pot.
Looking at the earthworms wriggling back and forth in the wooden basin, Jianjian asked: "Brother, there are so many of them, they should be enough."
"Take it to Boss Wen to see!"
We carried the wooden basin and ran back to the door of the infirmary. Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian were giving acupuncture to the villagers who had been infected by the poison.
I walked up and asked curiously: "Uncle Master, Boss Wen, what are you doing?"
