Chapter 113 Fire Snake Spots
The lingering moon is elegant, and the lotus fragrance refreshes the spirit.
It was late at night, and the Kaifeng Mansion was completely silent, everyone was fast asleep.
Gongsun Ce rubbed his eyes, and reconfirmed that the person standing in front of him was wearing an iconic black cloak with a silver trimmed and elegant black cloak, which was obviously from September. The weather, being dressed like this by him, made the surroundings seem a little colder. He lowered his head and smiled, letting down a few strands of hair, and saw the visitor gently pull down the cap of the cloak, his eyes filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence , the travel-stained face is still so handsome.
"Didn't you know that I'm coming, sir? Why did you really see another look of disbelief?" Bai Jintang took a few steps towards Gongsun Ce, stretched out his hand to untie the cloak, and looked at him with some amusement and some expectation.
"Ahem, I just didn't expect you to come so soon..." Gongsun took a step back, waved his hands at Bai Jintang and said, "Don't get too close to me, I have a disease and it may be contagious."
"Well, I know, that's why I came to see you non-stop." Bai Jintang walked over without hesitation, pulled Gongsun over, pushed him to sit on the stone bench beside him, and then wrapped himself in The cloak, all movements are familiar and gentle, very natural, "Don't worry, this disease will not be transmitted from person to person, it will only be transmitted to living people through dead bodies."
Gongsun was too tired, and he was a little dazed when he heard the words: "Crossed by corpses? How did you know?"
Bai Jintang smiled lightly, and began to tell Gongsun what he had seen and heard during this period of time.
It turned out that after Devil May Cry Kassapa was brutally killed by the ghost, Bai Jintang followed the ghost all the way to Xixia, wanting to see what the so-called Yipintang was up to.He knew that Guishen's martial arts skills were very good, so he didn't intend to hide himself. He was so upright that he followed Guishen, and the ghost was not annoyed. He got up suddenly and said that he wanted to play with Bai Jintang, so that the people in this village would be infected with the plague within three days.
Naturally, Bai Jintang wasn't interested, but the ghost didn't care what Bai Jintang thought. He smiled with big yellow teeth, ran to a nearby cemetery and dug up a relatively fresh corpse, wiped a bunch of strange things on the corpse, and put The corpse was thrown in the woods full of wild beasts and let those animals bite the corpse.After the beasts gnawed the flesh of the corpse, they suddenly became more brutal, and even became aggressive towards things such as fire that they were usually afraid of.
These wild beasts attacked the nearest village that night. Fortunately, the villagers' farm work had ended at that time, and all the men had returned home. Although these wild beasts were ferocious, they did not harm the lives of the villagers. They only bit and scratched Some of the villagers were injured and all were killed.
I thought that a farce of ghosts and creatures would end in failure, but I didn't expect that the next day, the villagers who were bitten and scratched by wild animals suddenly died one by one. Bai Jintang suddenly felt bad, and when he wanted to go to the village to check, The ghost stopped him with a smirk and said with a smirk that it was too late to go now. The dead villagers all had corpse plague on their bodies. Once touched, they would be infected. Once infected, they would die violently in a few days. Then become a body carrying corpse plague.
Bai Jintang asked him if he had the antidote, and the ghost said yes, but he wanted to see if the famous leader of the Yelan gang would ask for help.
Hearing this, Gongsun couldn't help but yelled: "This bastard old man! You are so arrogant to harm people at will!" Then he paused, and asked cautiously, "And then? You begged him?"
Bai Jintang said calmly: "Please, why not do it if such a simple request can save a whole village? I'm not that stubborn Yutang."
Gongsun nodded in bewilderment, not knowing whether to comfort him or praise him first.But if this matter were really Bai Yutang, then he would rather fight to the death than beg for a word from the other party... These two brothers are so different!
Bai Jintang didn't care, and continued to talk about the next thing.At that time, Gui Shen enjoyed Bai Jintang's begging attitude very much, so he poured the antidote into the only well in the village, saying that drinking the water from this well would dissolve the poison of corpse plague.Then he said that he had many different kinds of corpse plagues, and if he had time, he would show them to Bai Jintang one by one. Unfortunately, he had to take Kasyapa's head to Xixia to return to his life, so he couldn't show off too much.On the road after that, the ghosts continued on their way wholeheartedly and didn't make any more troubles. They only occasionally took out Kasyapa's head and buried them for a few words.
The Xixia palace was very heavily guarded. After staying for a few days and finding that he couldn't enter the palace, Bai Jintang began to search around for news about Yipintang.It turned out that some time ago, there was a small-scale outbreak of a disease called fire snake spot in Heishui City in the northern part of Xixia. The patients would have numerous red dot herpes, which were painful and itchy. If not treated in time, the skin and flesh would be damaged. In severe cases, it will fester and die.
The strangest thing is that this disease will not be transmitted from person to person, but the patient's corpse will become a secondary source of infection. Once a living person comes into contact with a confirmed corpse, it will be very easy to be infected with fire snake spot.
"In this way, it is indeed very similar to our current situation. No wonder you said that this disease cannot be transmitted from person to person." After hearing Bai Jintang's words, Gongsun's sleepiness had completely disappeared, and he was full of energy.
"Heishui City is like you. It soon discovered that Hulancao has a miraculous effect on fire snake spots, so the epidemic was quickly brought under control. But not long after the epidemic ended, Li Yuanhao ordered the news to be blocked. After that, I will keep people in the Xixia inquired about Yipintang, and came back first. On the way back, I passed a strange village, and all the young people in it disappeared. I did some simple investigation and found that some "monsters" appeared in the local area, which is similar to the What Yutang said about Weidao was very similar, so Yan Bei was asked to rush back to find Yutang and the kitten to go to Linzhou to investigate the matter."
Gongsun nodded and sighed: "As soon as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left, such a big event happened in the capital. If the epidemic that broke out on Wanyu Street was also fire snake spot, then we don't have Hulancao now, but It's really hard to do."
"This disease first appeared on the old lady of the Zhong family, and the reason why the old lady of the Zhong family was infected with fire snake spot was precisely because she ate the diseased meat by mistake." Bai Jintang went into the room and took a pot of tea as he said. Come out, sit on the stone bench next to Gongsun, paused and continued, "Perhaps we should not say 'meat', it is more appropriate to call it a corpse."
Gongsun recalled the first time when the old lady came to treat her illness. When Zhong Shiping said that the old lady picked up a piece of rotten pork on the road, the family wanted to throw it away, but the old lady didn’t want to. She made stewed meat and ate it herself. ...Could it be that what the old lady picked up was human flesh? !
Thinking of this, Gongsun's face turned blue, and his chest felt faintly sick.
"Stop, stop! Don't think about this corpse, or you won't be able to eat for three days." Bai Jintang interrupted Gongsun's further association, "In short, someone deliberately made the old lady If you are sick, you will come to Kaifeng Mansion for treatment, and then after the old lady died of illness, you will encourage the Zhong family to come to Kaifeng Mansion to make trouble, saying that you have not been treated properly. A thousand people can't argue with a hundred people's accusations."
"What kind of enemies did you provoke, to go around such a big circle to punish your Yelan Gang? You even framed Kaifeng Mansion, the only one in the capital that can talk good things about you." Gongsun Shun let out the sullen feeling in his chest, and continued After taking a sip of the water that Bai Jintang handed over, his brows still wrinkled unconsciously.
Hearing this, Bai Jintang laughed out loud: "Are you sure the only person in the capital who can give me a good word is Kaifeng Mansion? Isn't it you, Mr. Gongsun?"
"Don't interrupt, keep talking about business."
"Okay, huh." Bai Jintang cleared his throat, "If the matter is really simple and you need Yelan to seek revenge from me, then it will be easy to deal with. After all, they are all small fish and shrimps. There is nothing to be afraid of. But, this The murderer's purpose is far more than that."
"You mean, asking Yelan to help you is just a cover?"
"No, no, it should be said that it kills two birds with one stone." Bai Jintang smiled, "The whole family of the Zhong family was murdered not just to blame the Yelan Gang, but more importantly, to spread the disease."
"What?" Gongsun stood up in shock.
"Don't get excited, sit down and listen to me slowly." Bai Jintang pressed Gongsun down again, poured a glass of water and said, "This murderer is very cunning and smart, and let the Zhong family act out a mother-child love story." For the drama of going to Beijing to seek medical treatment, he should know that our Yelan Gang has eyeliners around Kaifeng Mansion, so the first time the Zhong family mother and son came to seek medical treatment, everyone just treated them as ordinary patients with difficult problems. After all, people who usually come to see you Not a lot, so neither the Kaifeng Mansion nor my Yelan Gang have ever paid attention to it. I even sent Yutang and Kitty to Linzhou because of the investigation that Xixia was related to the Wuhe Sect. Otherwise, if they are still here , the situation in the capital is not so bad."
"When we paid attention, it was because the Zhong family brought the old lady's body to Kaifeng Mansion to make trouble. At that time, I didn't think about the fire snake spot. I just arranged more people to protect you and Kaifeng Mansion. But these actions It happened that they were all tricked, the murderer's target was not Kaifeng Mansion at all, but the 43 people who had been infected with fire snake spots in the Babao Building on Wanyu Street! The epidemic in Wanyu Street was the result of his planning!"
After finishing the words, Bai Jintang was silent for a rare moment.
Gongsun's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean, the murderer guessed that you would send more people to the capital, so he pretended to be Yelan and helped slaughter the Zhong family, in order to deliberately make the Zhong family a source of secondary infection. Are they killing people all over the streets just to spread snakespots?"
"Yes, we have to fall into each other's trap step by step. He almost predicts every step we take. This person is really scary."
Gongsun was puzzled and said, "But who is it that wants to endanger Xixia Heishui City and harm us at the same time?"
Hearing this, Bai Jintang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing for a long time before saying, "Baby Gongsun, you have worked with that kitten for so many years, why haven't you learned even a little bit of his exquisite heart?" Woolen cloth?"
