In miaojiang, in the past, many people used to use poison insects. Therefore, neighbors have scruples about each other. However, in modern times, fewer and fewer people know how to use poison insects.
Even, like those developed Miao villages, almost no one knows how to poison.
At present, someone in Xitang Miao stronghold has been poisoned. In Xiao Chen's opinion, it must have been done by familiar people. It should be difficult for outsiders to come here.
However, now Xiao Chen feels that he should go to see the situation of those patients first.
The Dragon leader took Xiao Chen and them to one of the old people first.
The old man should be more than 70. Under normal circumstances, his body is still very strong, because now many people live longer, and it is normal to live to more than 90 or even more than 100.
But now, tortured by witches and insects, it looks very painful.
But sang only knew how to poison, but he didn't know how to solve it. Moreover, he couldn't see what kind of witchcraft had been poisoned.
Xiao Chen checked the old man's pulse, tongue, even his eyes and face.
Finally, he asked, "what is the old man's stool and urination like?"
The son of the old man on the side detailed the old man's defecation and urination.
Xiao Chen can confirm what poison the old man was poisoned by.
"Xiao Chen, what kind of poison is this?"
"Plant insect."
Plant insect?
Many people don't pay attention to plant insects, but plant insects are most often used, because there are too many sources of plant insects.
"What plant insect?"
"Hu mancao."
Hu mancao is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. It is mainly used for foot and knee arthralgia, limb contracture, scabies, cough and Qi, throat arthralgia and pharyngeal obstruction. It is mainly distributed in the south.
The smell is pungent, warm and poisonous.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, a plant Gu mystery occurred in Guangying. In the mountain forest of Xiangshan County, there is a kind of grass called Hu mancao. Its leaves are like Ulva, yellow and white. Its leaves contain highly toxic. If it is put into people's mouth, people will bleed; If the leaf juice is swallowed into the stomach, the intestines and stomach will also fester.
The local bad people often use Hu mancao as a poisonous insect to harm people.
One spring in the Chongzhen era, Luo Mingkui, a native of Southern Yunnan, became a county magistrate in Xiangshan County. After understanding the plot of Hu mancao harming people, he ordered that if ordinary people sued the county, each person should pay 50 Hu mancao.
After this order was given, the beard and vines were cut down. Luo County Magistrate personally supervised the factotum to burn the collected poisonous grass. Soon, this poisonous grass disappeared in Xiangshan.
However, it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which can cure diseases and save people. On the other hand, it can also be used as a poison.
According to the practice of people in Miao area, it is used as a plant Gu.
It is said that the person who takes the poison will secretly get the plant poison to the water source and food of the target. As long as he eats it, he will be poisoned or even die over time.
In fact, this Gu is not what they imagined, and they have their own set.
The most terrible thing is that it is also possible for these plant insects to appear in the victim's room, absorb the gas, and finally die quietly.
This kind of humongrass is all over the southern provinces. It is impossible to completely exterminate it. There are many kinds of plants and poisonous insects in Miao area, so it leads to so many witchcraft.
If it were in a big city, without this condition, these things would not happen.
When hearing that Xiao Chen saw it, sang asked, "Xiao Chen, how can I treat it?"
In those days, local doctors also prescribed a prescription to cure the highly toxic poison of Hu mancao. Take an egg hatched by a hen (without a chick), cook it, grind it into fine powder, and add a tablespoon of clear oil. If people who are poisoned by Hu mancao take it once a day, they will spit out Hu mancao Gu.
When the Gu is in the "Shangyu", add five points of gall, dissolve it in hot tea and take it, it will spit out Gu. If the poisonous insects are in the "Xiaxi", take it in the vegetable soup with two coins of tulip water, and the poisonous insects will spit out.
In fact, this is the prescription for curing the witchcraft.
However, Xiao Chen was not sure whether it was. He still used his method to prescribe a prescription for each other to drink.
"Dragon leader, now let someone go to the town to buy medicine and come back to make medicine soup for him to drink."
The Dragon leader was also surprised that the young man looked young and knew so much.
According to Xiao Chen, the so-called humongrass does exist in the back mountain of Miao village.
But no one took it seriously.
And who did this poison?
Xiao Chen went to see other patients and found that they all had similar symptoms, but the severity was different. This should be different from the toxic ingredients of humongrass they drank.
After reading these, Xiao Chen.
I learned that two had died two days ago. One was an old man, a woman, a lonely old man, who was the first to be killed. However, the symptoms of Chinese witches are different from those of Chinese witches now.
The other was a middle-aged man. When he went out to herd the cattle, he didn't come back. The villagers looked for it. They just saw that the cow was still alive, and the middle-aged man had died under a tree.
Naturally, it sounds terrible. The police have been calling the police station in the town. The police officers of the police station came to investigate and left, leaving the villagers waiting for news.
Xiao Chen, Mo Xiaowan and sang return to the place where the dragon people live for a long time.
"Dragon leader, I'm here this time, not only to cure the patients who have been poisoned, but also to find out who the murderer is, otherwise the murderer will always exist, so it's also a threat to your villagers. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep."
This must be true.
How can they sleep when they know that such a person exists?
"Dr. Xiao, everyone in our village is very familiar. There should be no need to harm their own people." The Dragon leader said.
"Dragon clan leader, it's hard to say. As the saying goes, the heart of preventing people and the heart of harming people cannot be absent. According to the situation of your villagers, I'm sure that 80% of the crimes may be committed by the villagers. Moreover, he is very familiar with your every move, but I'm not sure who this person is. Therefore, I still want to investigate the situation of the two dead and the patients who were poisoned just now. "
"Of course, Dr. Xiao."
At the beginning, the Dragon leader looked down on Xiao Chen. One thought the other was too young, and the other thought the other was not from Miao. He certainly didn't know how to solve Gu.
Now, the young man should be very powerful. Moreover, when he heard that the other party's master was master Miao, the leader of Jiuli gate, he dared not underestimate the other party any more.
Now Xiao Chen came to help him. The Dragon leader naturally didn't dare to have any other ideas.
