Chapter 291 It is inevitable for Hongxing to cheat
In the morning, Li Guolou was calmly drinking porridge. Before he could swallow a bowl of raw eggs, someone came to disturb his breakfast.
Zhou Jiaoyun, the newlywed wife of Zheng Hengdan, the secretary, ran over anxiously, her face turned pale, and she stumbled and said: "Captain Li is in trouble. My husband has passed out and cannot be woken up. He is afraid that strangers will bring the plague."
Already."
"Ahhhh!" Li Guolou stood up from the ground and said angrily: "Zhou Jiaoyun, be honest with me, have you been poisoned?"
Zhou Jiaoyun cried sadly and said: "I knew this would happen. I slept well last night, but we were noisy until midnight. We are so good now. How could I have thought of poisoning my husband? Besides, I don't have a good life here.
I'm familiar with it, and I don't even know where to buy rat poison? I called Xiaobianji many times in the morning, and even splashed cold water on my face. I really couldn't wake Xiaobianji, for fear that Captain Li would have opinions about me, so I called him repeatedly.
The neighbor next door didn’t even call, he came directly to you.”
The plague is most likely to break out in the spring. The north is close to the Mongolian grasslands. Rats often cause trouble and there have been plague epidemics. This plague is an incurable disease. Even when Europeans hear the word "plague", they talk about it. It is a plague during the European Renaissance.
, causing the European population to lose at least tens of millions, and civilization to set back decades. Even today, Europeans are still talking about the catastrophe at that time. Europeans' hygiene habits also changed after that disaster and became civilized and hygienic.
people.
Li Guolou pointed his finger at the tip of Zhou Jiaoyun's nose and said fiercely: "Zhou Jiaoyun, please be honest with me. You are not allowed to say a word. If you dare to say the word 'plague' again, I will arrest you."
Get up. Go and find Dr. Wang Biezhen for me, and we'll go see Xiaobian together."
Li Guolou looked at the food on the table and couldn't eat it anymore. He didn't even dare to take a sip of water in the place where "Broom Star" Zhou Jiaoyun had stayed. He blamed himself for the disaster. He said something about Balizhuang last night.
The retribution for the bad words in this place came early this morning.
When he stepped out of the threshold, Li Guolou turned around and shouted: "Battle, stay at the stable for me today, shovel the grass, wash the manger, and do all the work in the stable by yourself. I'll come back to check, and you're doing well."
I’ll feed you tonight.”
"Yes! Captain Li." Battelle was overjoyed and jumped up and down with joy. Who would have thought that when Li Guolou thought that he came from the Mongolian grasslands, he was afraid from the bottom of his heart that he was the source of the plague.
The home of Zheng Hengdan and Zhou Jiaoyun is the "new home". It is a three-room house with tiled roofs that was awarded to Zheng Hengdan, the bookstore clerk, by Li Guolou for their wedding.
When he entered the courtyard, Li Guolou felt that this house was strange. The entrances to other people's courtyards all opened to the south, and the main entrance of this courtyard pointed to the west. The courtyard was very large, with a millstone and a thatched nest.
Among the farm tools, there was no chicken coop, but there was a pond made of pebbles. There was only some dirty water in it, which was not drained cleanly. You could see tadpoles swimming in the water.
Doctor Wang Biezhen wore a mask and gloves and treated the unconscious Zheng Hengdan in the bedroom. Zhou Jiaoyun stood aside anxiously and applied a towel soaked in cold water to Zheng Hengdan's forehead.
Li Guolou, also wearing a mask and gloves, slowly walked into the room, three steps away from the patient, waiting for the conclusion of the doctor Wang Jiazhen's treatment.
Wang Biezhen took off his mask, turned to Li Guolou, and said: "Mr. Li, the temperature of the small pole is not very high, thirty-nine degrees. There is no sign of infection in the injured arm, so he shouldn't be unconscious. Right?
Typhoid fever? It’s hard to say now. It depends on whether anyone else is infected with the disease. Individual cases are not comparable. However, the whole village’s medical prevention measures should be taken. In my opinion, disinfection and prevention should be the main focus. The whole village should implement a
After cleaning, I will give the villagers some Chinese herbal medicine to prevent typhoid fever?"
Li Guolou nodded and said, "Doctor Wang is right. People from other villages should not be allowed to enter the village to work casually. We should observe them for three days and improve their personal hygiene. I will learn from them."
Wang Biezhen sat at the table and wrote the prescription: four herbs: gypsum, anemarrhena, hay and japonica rice.
Li Guolou took a look, smiled and said: "Dr. Wang, I didn't expect that you, a Western medicine doctor, have quite a lot of research on Chinese medicine. You can also use the prescription of Baihu Decoction by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing."
Wang Biizhen laughed dumbly: "Hey, you exposed it. This prescription has been clinically verified. What the ancients said is correct, not to mention that the ancestor wrote it in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". If you are not sick, treat it as a precaution.
If you are sick, you can remove the disaster. I think Xiaobianzhu's illness should be due to poison in the body, some signs of poisoning, and his pupils are dilated." As he spoke, Wang Bizhen glanced at Zhou Jiaoyun next to him, telling Li Guolou that he had not found it.
Zheng Hengdan had wounds on his body, and the wounds on his arms had been bandaged. The disease only entered through the mouth, so Zheng Hengdan's bride, Zhou Jiaoyun, was the most suspect.
Zhou Jiaoyun's face turned pale, she waved her hands wildly and said: "Captain Li, I have really changed my ways. It was already past nine o'clock when I came home last night. I drank a bowl of jujube porridge and went to bed. I was still alive and well."
. Could it be that he was bitten by something while climbing the mountain yesterday?"
Li Guolou thought of the pond in the yard. What did the farmers here build a pond at home to raise? It is very likely that this farmer was originally a snake breeder. If the owner's family all died, the snakes raised by this farmer would
Won't escape? The room has a wooden floor, and venomous snakes are likely to hide under the partition walls and floors.
Thinking of this, Li Guolou became bolder, walked to the patient Zheng Hengdan, lifted the quilt, and checked whether there were any wounds on the unconscious Zheng Hengdan's body.
Li Guolou carefully inspected Zheng Hengdan's body, looking at it from top to bottom without shyness. As a detective, he had even seen naked corpses and people who were not dead yet. Li Guolou didn't feel scared at all.
Without looking at the remaining two feet, Li Guolou finally found a slight wound on the big toe of Zheng Hengdan's left foot.
"Doctor Wang, come and see!" Li Guolou pinched one of his feet, not bothering with the smell, and shouted in surprise.
Wang Biizhen looked up to his nose and asked, "Mr. Li, what kind of bite was this? Can't you tell?"
"Little snake, a highly venomous little snake. Fortunately, it hasn't grown up yet, otherwise Zheng Hengdan would have been bitten to death. Last night, the little snake climbed onto the bed, got under the quilt, and secretly bit the small pole. The snake is negative.
, likes yang energy, so it only bites the man once and sucks a few mouthfuls of blood from the small pole. This venomous snake is very strange. Look at the wounds of the small pole. On the surface, the toes are not red, swollen or swollen, which means that all the poison has flowed into the blood vessels.
It's gone."
"Ah! What should we do then, Doctor Wang, you have to think of a solution quickly." Zhou Jiaoyun started crying anxiously. Although she was proven innocent, she was very likely to become a widow, which made her heartbroken.
, lamenting the ill-fated fate.
Wang Biizhen also frowned. He was powerless to deal with snake venom. Different snakes have different venoms, so he was helpless for a moment. He looked downcast and said, "Mr. Li, that's troublesome. There are many kinds of snake venoms, and I don't understand them either."
."
In order to become a magician, Li Guolou read all kinds of books and thought of a way. Anyway, he would treat a dead horse as a live doctor. Try it and see if it works.
"Listen to me, you must lure the snake out and find the culprit. Doctor Wang, go find some realgar, rice wine, and ginger. Sprinkle realgar around the room to smoke out this poisonous snake. Zhou Jiaoyun, go out.
Women can't stay here, I'm going to use my magic skills to fight poisonous snakes." Li Guolou God muttered, explained the trivial matters, decorated the room like a Taoist priest, and even lit incense and candles.
Wang Biizhen studied Western medicine and originally did not believe in ghosts and gods, but he admired Li Guolou from the bottom of his heart and worshiped Li Guolou as an almighty god. He could not hold back his excitement and said: "Mr. Li, please leave me alone."
Do you like it?"
Li Guolou nodded and said, "Yes, but Dr. Wang, if a little snake comes out, you must not move. Snakes rely on the movements of things in front of them to distinguish whether they are food or scenery. If you don't move, there is no danger."
"Hey, I'm going to get ready." Wang Biizhen ran out of the yard. He could see Li Guolou's mysterious methods, so the trip was not in vain.
Li Guolou was beating a drum in his heart, feeling that his heart was about to jump into his throat. He comforted himself that as long as it was not a plague, everything would be fine. A poisonous snake was almost like an eel, and his face remained calm, not letting the two guards see how nervous he was inside.
Guards Cheng Kun and Liu Yu helped sprinkle realgar around the house. Li Guolou looked at the room and found that it was indeed filled with strong yin energy. He also lit a lamp during the day. The room was dark and the sunlight could not enter. The original owner also raised flowers in the room.
Snakes should make you rich by raising snakes. People who can catch venomous snakes will treat patients bitten by venomous snakes, but it is a pity that he has no chance to see it.
Touching Zheng Hengdan's forehead, wet cold sweat is still flowing. The desire to survive has kept the "small pole" supported until now. Moving into a new house requires burning paper money, tin foil, and burning the charcoal stove to remove the evil spirits in the original room. It seems that
Zheng Hengdan couldn't bear it and only thought about hugging his bride, instead of driving away the "evil evil spirits" in his new home.
"Mao Sui! If I save you, I'll count your fate, but if you can't save me, don't come to me to settle the score." Li Guolou thought of the scene where Mao Sui recommended himself on a small pole, and couldn't help but feel friendly. This rebel was a bit interesting.
Wang Biizhen walked into the room, and Li Guolou said: "Doctor Wang, close the door."
The doors and windows were closed, making the room even darker. Li Guolou twisted the oil lamp into a bean, and the dim room was filled with the smell of medicine. Li Guolou sprinkled rice wine with ginger on the wall and wooden floor to let the wine mix in.
Walls and wooden floors. He wanted to force the poisonous snake out. Snakes understand principles just like humans, and they know exactly what they have done.
Time passed minute by minute, Li Guolou stood still, and Wang Biizhen did not dare to move a little. About half an hour later, a small white snake swam out from under a corner with a small white snake on its tongue.
The black tumor, with a snake message in its mouth, swam slowly and climbed up the big bed along the corner of the wall. None of the three people in the room moved. Zheng Hengdan could not move, so he lay upright on the bed without a quilt.
The little white snake seemed to know what it had to do to survive. It climbed up the bed along the foot of the bed, wandered to Zheng Hengdan's left foot, bit Wang Biizhen's left thumb, and sucked Zheng Hengdan's blood.
Doctor Wang Biezhen was shocked and opened his mouth wide as he watched the strange scene happen. Li Guolou shook his head at him and told him to be silent.
Time passed by, and the little white snake seemed to be full of blood, its belly was bulging, and it swam down the foot of the bed.
Li Guolou suddenly jumped forward, put the bamboo basket in his hand upside down on the head of the little white snake, and caught the little white snake with one move.
"Okay! Doctor Wang, open the door." Li Guolou wiped the drops of cold sweat on his forehead.
The refreshing wind blew into the room from the door, and Wang Biezhen said: "Mr. Li, what should I do with this snake?"
Li Guolou shook the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "If the little pole comes back to life, of course I will let it go."
Wang Biezhen also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, is this White Snake's understanding of human nature?"
"Yes, the little white snake should have sucked out the venom. Let's wait and see what happens after the little white tiger soup is drunk." Li Guolou didn't know if what the book said was correct? A two-pronged approach would never go wrong.
Wang Biezhen opened the mouth of the unconscious Zheng Hengdan and fed him white tiger soup.
"It's moving! The little shoulder pole, my Adam's apple is moving!" Zhou Jiaoyun, who was helping others, shouted in surprise. Being able to swallow the medicine on her own is always a good sign.
"Mr. Li, where did you learn this trick?" Wang Biizhen was so excited that the doctor saw that Zheng Hengtan was showing signs of recovery.
Li Guolou said hesitantly: "I couldn't remember the miscellaneous books I read for a while. It seemed that this was the case in a case written by people in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of red snake has human nature. It was originally the owner of the book.
It is a domestic pet. Since the owner is gone, it will act randomly, so it bites the small carrying pole. Its living habits are not to bite people. I forced it and put it in a desperate situation, and the little white snake knew what was going on.
."
"Oh oh oh oh!" The person next to him suddenly realized, but Cheng Kun interrupted: "Captain Li, you are a god."
"Shhhhhhhh!" Li Guolou stretched out his finger and whispered: "Don't mention this matter again, we will talk about it later." After saying that, Li Guolou left with the bamboo basket in hand. It was a dark room, and the feng shui here was not good.
If we want to renovate it in the future, how can we make the entrance of the courtyard face west? If we don’t change it, it is inevitable that Hongxing will come out of the wall!
Li Guolou read some miscellaneous books and even knew a little bit about Feng Shui. He actually saw that Zhou Jiaoyun was from a womanly family that was not peaceful.
