Chapter 90 Detoxification
After Xiao Yuge checked them one by one, he found that their symptoms were the same, but it didn't look like a plague, but more like they had been poisoned.

Doctor Wang on the side looked at several people, but still looked confused: "What kind of disease is this? I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never seen such a weird situation. Is it really some kind of epidemic?" Then he asked the person on the side. Xiao Yuge: "Second Young Master, can you find out what disease they have?"

"This is not a plague. From the looks of them, it looks more like they have been poisoned!"

"Poisoned!"

Not only Doctor Wang was shocked, but also the officials who were following him.

"Second Young Master, are you sure that this is not a plague but poisoning?" To be honest, even Dr. Wang, an old doctor for decades, couldn't tell, and Xiao Yuge is just a teenage girl. She What he said was naturally suspicious.

"Haven't you noticed that most of their palms have blackened palms, accompanied by a foul odor? However, the symptoms of infant babies are much milder, and some have almost no symptoms. It stands to reason that if it is a plague, Infants are the most severely affected group because their immunity is generally low and they are more susceptible to infection. But now the situation is just the opposite. This can only mean that babies are not directly exposed to poisonous things, but through adults or other people. It passes through the mother's body, so the infection rate is slower than that of adults."

After hearing this, Dr. Wang suddenly realized.

But not all villagers in the village live in one household, so how could they be poisoned by the same kind of poison at the same time?
"well!"

Xiao Yuge and Doctor Wang pointed out the problem almost in unison.

So everyone, led by the village chief, went to the old well used by the villagers. But when everyone took out the water, they saw that the water was extremely clear and did not look poisonous. I tried it, but there was no reaction on the needle, which means the water is not poisonous.

Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?

Xiao Yuge stared at the well and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she asked: "Village Chief, have any gathering activities been held in the village in the past two days?"

The village chief nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, it was the annual sacrifice festival of my mute girl village." After saying that, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I also remembered that it was from that time Starting from the next day, this happened to everyone one after another.”

When Xiao Yuge heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Where will the sacrifice be held?"

"In the Mute Girl Temple."

"Can you take us there to see it?"

"Everyone, please come with me!"

It turns out that a hundred years ago, the Mute Girl Village was not called the Mute Girl Village. Later, it was because a big accident happened in the village. A mute girl saved the whole village with her own life. The villagers did not know the name of the mute girl. , but in gratitude for everything she had done for the villagers, a mute girl temple was built for her to receive the incense of the villagers for generations, and a sacrificial ceremony was held once a year to ensure the safety of the village's old and young.

After everyone arrived at the Mute Girl Temple, they looked around and found nothing wrong.

Xiao Yuge came to the statue of the mute girl and observed it carefully. He found that there was a small bamboo tube in the palm of her hand, which went straight to the top of her head. The old village chief gently pressed it to the side, and suddenly a thin bamboo tube was as thin as a silk thread. The water flowed down.

The old village chief said: "This is the sacred water accumulated on it. Every villager who comes to the temple to seek peace will come to drink a small cup to seek the protection of the goddess."

Xiao Yuge thought about it, took out the silver needle from his body, and tested it in the water. Sure enough, the silver needle immediately changed color. Everyone came up to take a look, and they were all shocked! "I think the problem lies in the water." Xiao Yuge pointed to the mute goddess statue several feet high: "There should be something on it."

However, for the villagers, they could not climb up such a tall statue. Xiao Yuge could easily climb up using Qinggong, but in this way, she could no longer hide the secret of her martial arts.

The officials on the side all have the skills of a three-legged cat, and it seems impossible to jump onto the statue.

Everyone suggested using hooks to climb up. However, the statue has been standing for a long time. If you try to climb up with hooks casually, you might not be able to withstand it, and something might happen to you.

"I have some boxing skills, let me go up and try it."

At this moment, a young man of about 20 years old walked out of the crowd. He lightly tapped his feet, jumped up, and reached the top of the statue in a blink of an eye. Then he saw him bending down to pick up something, and followed him lightly. He returned to the ground in a quick spin.

"Snake!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw what he was holding.

It turned out that what the young man was holding was a dead poisonous snake!

"Blue blood snake!" Xiao Yuge recognized the poisonous snake in the man's hand at a glance. No wonder the doctors couldn't find it out. This poisonous snake itself is rare. Although its toxicity is strong, it has been greatly reduced after dilution with water. Toxic, so it didn't kill the villagers for a while, but it made them feel as uncomfortable as if they had an epidemic, and it was extremely itchy.

Knowing what kind of poison it is, it will be much easier to detoxify it. Soon Xiao Yuge, Doctor Wang and the others prepared a large pot of detoxification soup based on the snake's venom and with the help of the young man.

After the villagers lined up to drink the detoxification soup, the itching symptoms on their bodies began to slowly disappear.

The village chief thanked them very much and insisted on staying with them until they had a meal before leaving. The kindness was hard to refuse. Although Xiao Yuge wanted to go home, he still couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of the villagers, so he stayed with Doctor Wang and the others. .

After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yuge glanced at the crowd, and with a thought in mind, he asked the village chief beside him: "May I ask the village chief, is that young man just now a villager here? "Although the young man was dressed exactly like the people in the village, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Oh, you are talking about that Ah Cang. He is not from our village. About five days ago, he was injured and fainted at the entrance of the village. It was A Niu and his son who discovered him and brought him back to the village to raise him."

"A Cang?" Xiao Yuge frowned slightly, glanced at the crowd, and said with pretense of surprise: "I didn't seem to see him just now. Is he gone?"

At this time, a little boy about ten years old ran over, holding a letter in his hand: "Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Acang is gone."

The village chief took the letter and opened it: "Second Young Master was talking about him just now, but he was gone unexpectedly. The letter said that he was almost in good health. I bothered him for a few days. I was afraid that my parents would be worried, so I decided to go first." gone."

Xiao Yuge knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly said goodbye to the village chief and others, and then left the village.

While passing through a forest, she suddenly heard the sound of a fierce fight in front of her. With a thought in her mind, she cautiously went around.
