Mo Li's head buzzed, and many things that he couldn't understand were explained.

Why do he think the herbs collected in Silang Mountain are strange, and the porridge water he cooks tastes strange, and no one except him can feel the difference?

"...Don't be confused for now. The water and soil in Qiuling County may indeed be toxic, but the situation is not serious. We should still have time." Mo Li barely calmed down and circulated his internal force and walked a small Zhoutian very quickly.

Although he hadn't eaten a few bites these days, he still drank the water.

Good health, no changes.

Or the changes are too slight and cannot be discovered.

——The poisoning of water sources and soil is still very mild. This chronic poisoning is a process and is difficult to detect at the beginning.

Mo Li said decisively: "Call Qiuhong, I will take her pulse."

When Qiu Hong was brought over by Meng Qi, she didn't know what had happened.

Mo Li was afraid of scaring her, so she did not tell her the whole truth. She only said that the Si family might have dug up groundwater sources when they were mined, and it was necessary to find out whether it had any impact on the people of Qiuling County.

Qiu Hong was very angry when she heard this, but she knew that it was not the time to scold the Si family. She simply stretched out her hand and rolled up her cuffs.

In this year, the doctor usually had to touch the female family through a piece of cloth.

To avoid deviations, this cloth should not be too thick.

But now in the wilderness, everyone has thick clothes on their bodies, and Qiuhong is not a person who cares about these things.

Mo Li’s habit is that if the patient cares a lot, he will follow the steps. If the patient doesn’t care, or the patient’s life is in danger, he is not interested in thinking about the pulse.

One is straightforward and the other is calm, Ning Changyuan thoughtful.

He didn't know Qiu Hong's identity, but he just thought that this woman might be able to help.

Because of the ideal of changing the world and changing the hearts of people, Ning Changyuan never ignores the power of anyone.

"The body is weak, the energy is weak, the body is strained... There is something else..." Mo Li didn't finish his words, but only said to Qiu Hong, "It's nothing big. Hate is in the heart, and it's inevitable that he will lose his life and life."

Qiuhong is not sick, her problems are all left over from years of hard work.

"There is no problem with the water source?" Meng Qi asked.

"It's not clear yet. No obvious symptoms can be seen from Qiu Hong." Mo Li pondered. Qiu Hong's health was not good. She was an ordinary person who did not understand martial arts. Nine and a half of the ten meridians were blocked. There were no major problems and a lot of small problems.

"It can only be confirmed that the people of Qiuling County have no worries about their lives for the time being."

Ning Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Mo Li said again: "When the earthquake occurred, I was in Qiuling County, and a huge crack appeared on the ground, with an unpleasant smell. Later, when I entered Silang Mountain and approached a crack that might be an abandoned mine duct, although I didn't smell anything, I always felt uneasy. At that time, I thought it was because the residual power of the earthquake caused the crack to collapse."

Meng Qi followed Dr. Mo to recall the situation at that time.

"What does mercury poisoning look like?" Meng Qi asked in a low voice, but Qiu Hong didn't hear it.

"If you are unconscious, you will have red rashes on your body and then ulcerated. If it is caused by taking alchemy pills, you will also have abdominal pain and bleeding..."

Mo Li paused and suddenly realized that this was a serious poisoning phenomenon. Usually when I came to see a doctor, it was basically like this. What are the mild symptoms? Mo Li had no experience. The medical books he read did not have these contents. In ancient times, and even today, many doctors still believed that cinnabar was not toxic and was a good medicine for curing diseases.

There are no alchemists in Zhushan County, and even Taoist priests use chicken blood to draw talismans, so they don’t spend money to buy cinnabar.

"We can't delay, we will return to Silang Mountain immediately."

***

Although they met Ning Changyuan on the mountain road and the speed of the group arrived in Qiuling County was not slow, something happened in Silang Mountain.

Since the theory of gold mines is popular in Pingzhou, a group of people took risks to enter Silang Mountain to find gold in order to make money.

It is said that they found a tunnel suspected to be a gold mine and excitedly drilled in to dig. In just two days, various abnormalities appeared, including headache and fever. Many people saw illusions, kept yelling, and even attacked each other.

Because white bones were found in the tunnel and phosphorus fire, people who were still awake thought it was a terrifying ghost, so they quickly took out the blood prepared in advance and splashed it, but it naturally became useless.

In desperation, he had to withdraw and then meet the soldiers under the command of the general who was searching for the mountainous areas to capture the remnants of the Si family, and the person was caught back.

After another trial, it was found that these people were bandits from Pinan County.

Because several neighboring counties came to provide disaster relief, there were some doctors in Qiuling County, but they only knew cinnabar and had never seen mercury, and they didn't know what mercury poisoning was.

Seeing these bandits bleeding from their mouths, high fever did not subside, and their bodies were ulcerated, they immediately didn't even dare to touch them.

Because the appearance is too terrifying, the news cannot be covered at all.

When Mo Li came over, a scattered scattered in a simple camp outside the county town.

Many people were packing up their things and panickedly wanted to leave.

"This is not an epidemic..."

Ning Changyuan was about to swear loudly to appease the people, but he closed his mouth halfway.

Such a coincidence makes it easy for the people to leave Qiuling County.

"Why is it not an epidemic? They cough up blood! They are still getting fever all over!"

"Even if it's not an epidemic, it's still a terrifying ghost!"

Everyone had only one thought in their minds, that is, they would leave here as soon as possible, and they would be dead if they left late.

Mo Li helped several people who were squeezed and almost fell down, including the elderly, children, and women.

He looked outstanding and was to help others. Even the woman did not blame him, and he advised him to leave as soon as possible.

Ning Changyuan's expression was very subtle. He saw that the Mo Li helper was real, but he also took the opportunity to take the pulse of several people. He moved very quickly and did nothing.

"How about it?"

"It's still normal, there is no obvious abnormality, and it seems that it has not spread and affected the people of Qiuling County." Mo Li replied.

Meng Qi came back at this time. His face was very useful to General Liu's personal soldiers. He could get a lot of news without seeing Liu Dan.

After hearing the experiences of the bandits, Mo Li didn't say a word and took advantage of the chaos to see the dying people.

"... Once the mercury leaves the sealed vessel, it will naturally dissipate. There will be no major problem in sucking it into the body in a small amount. However, the abandoned mine tunnel is not airtight. These people have been in it for nearly two days and have been deeply poisoned and cannot be killed for a while, but they cannot be saved."

Ning Changyuan followed him. He didn't know how to do medical skills, but he knew what alchemy was going on. He was talking about the characteristics of mercury and his guesses about the abnormality of bandits.

"It is necessary to prevent the imperial court from taking over the Silang Mountain Gold Mine and prevent further excavation?"

"The Si family has almost hollowed out the gold mine. Even if they take over, the gold they found will disappoint them. The general of the bandit should report this matter to the court." Mo Li thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Besides, the terrain of Silang Mountain has changed drastically now, and the ground is still in full swing. The overall situation is sinking, and it is becoming more and more difficult to abandon the mine channel."

Meng Qi stood beside him with his arms in his arms, and gave Mo Li a wink when he heard this.

Ning Changyuan did not pay attention to Meng Qi's actions. He asked in surprise: "Doctor went to the mountain before? Doctor knows that the mountain is sinking?"

Mo Li knew that he had lost his words, so he nodded without explaining how he knew.

"Well, the troops under the command of the General Danggu are still searching for the remnants of the Si family in Silang Mountain." Meng Qi approached Mo Li and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Do you want me to find Liu Qiandai?"

"……Need not."

Doctor Mo glanced at Meng Qi and thought to himself that although Liu Dan was seriously injured, he would not be unable to get out of bed. He was obviously hiding from someone!

"Don't come to scare people." Mo Li said with some headache, "There is no Ningshen Wan now. What if you suddenly have an attack?"

Mo Li’s original intention was that he didn’t want to fight with Meng Qi or learn to meow.

However, this sounds ambiguous, because they have friendship and common secrets, and are not strangers, so they speak a lot more casually. Mo Li didn't notice anything wrong. After Meng Qi was stunned, he felt that his whole body was smooth.

It was as if he had some close contact with the doctor.

——The doctor's responsibility to patients, the response between the same tribes, and other explanations were directly left behind by Meng Qi.

After leaving the camp, the three of them went to see the water source separately.

The results are the same, and it is not obvious that it is poisonous, but Mo Li doesn't want to drink it in a sip.

This is probably the instinctive reaction of the dragon vein. Doctor Mo thought this way, cinnabar and mercury are usually chronic poisoning, and it takes a long time to make a clue.

Anyway, Silang Mountain cannot live in it.

"The affairs of bandits can be used." Meng Qi said without hesitation.

He is not like Mo Li, nor is he Ning Changyuan. He frowned when he saw the tragic situation of the bandits.

"Whether it is the saying of ghosts or the saying of epidemics, if people can stop setting foot on Silang Mountain, not digging at will, and not dare to live nearby, they can save countless people."

After Meng Qi finished speaking, he asked Mo Li again: "By the way, why are the illusions they saw? Phosphorus fire?"

"No, cinnabar, that is, mercury poison will become crazy when it attacks, and history records it."

After Doctor Mo said this, Meng Qi remembered that Emperor Li of Chen believed in the art of refining immortality and took it personally. Although there were people trying the medicine every time, the person who tried the medicine only took one pill, but the emperor took it every day. Within a few years, he became extremely violent and always suspicious, thinking that someone was going to assassinate him, and executed many palace servants and even ministers for no reason, and eventually left the infamy of a tyrant in history books.

The Chen Dynasty was not so corrupt at the beginning. In the early days of Emperor Li's reign, he was also known as a wise man. Historical books only say that his temperament changed drastically after he got old, or that his nature was violent. In the eyes of the doctor, this was not the case. It was obviously poisoned by the elixir and had mental problems.

Ning Changyuan felt relieved when he knew why the bandits were crazy, and he immediately found someone to spread rumors.

Qiuhong did a surprise help. She heard a lot of rumors in the market and knew what kind of remarks were the most caring.

This time, we can use the theory of gold mines that have been spread throughout Pingzhou to cover Silang Mountain with a layer of mysterious and terrifying rumors. The evil committed by the Si family is known to everyone in the world, and those who die in vain are like turning into evil ghosts, chasing their lives and seeking their souls.

After three days of busyness, it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Qiuling County doesn’t think about spending this New Year well, and Ning Changyuan is too busy to disappear.

Mo Li was worried about the tree and entered the mountain again.
