Outside the barracks, muddy water rushed down from the mountains.
After the water rushed to the Gu family's barracks, due to the easing of the terrain, it turned into several small streams and slowly penetrated into the well.
The well water is clear and cold on a sunny day. After a day of drills, the soldiers like to stand by the well and pour a bucket of cold water from their heads to their feet. Now standing at the mouth of the well and looking down, the clear water turns slightly yellow.
"well."
In the crowd, someone who didn't know sighed, but was quickly covered by the sound of heavy rain.
Under the command of the military doctor, the soldiers made a bucket of well water and carefully poured it into a water bag to seal it up. After sampling and checking the water in each well, a certain guess could be confirmed.
"Military doctor, can you see if the water is poisonous or not?"
The military doctor in a thick coir raincoat lowered his head, his expression hidden under the shadow of the bamboo hat, and his expression was dark and unclear. He smeared the mud and said, "Is it poisonous or not? I have to go back and check to find out. I can't see anything weird for a while."
He brought the water bag to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Except for a stench of yellow mud, he didn't smell anything else.
I hope the major general is overthinking.
He comforted himself, this time the soldiers heard clearly, and it was the military doctor himself who sighed.
In the big tent, all the generals of the Gu family army with rank four or above gathered here, all of them looked serious, waiting for Gu Huaijiang to show them off.
"General, what is in this water?"
Without checking, Gu Huaijiang had already ordered someone to throw away the prepared meals, it's not like he was just suspicious.
But no matter how they sniffed, Lao Jin and the others couldn't smell any other smells in the water besides the smell of yellow mud.
There was a cup of tea in front of Gu Huaijiang, which was brewed by the soldiers before he discovered that there was a problem with the water quality. As the tea cooled down, the fragrance of the tea disappeared, and the original smell in the water became much clearer.
His gaze remained in the cup, and it took him a while to raise his head.
"The results of the military doctor's examination are that I have ordered people to fetch water for cooking at Zhuguan City behind, so that the soldiers can be more patient. Once the water source in the city is found to be polluted, water will be transported from Xiaozhuguan City."
"How come the water in Zhuguan is not clean?"
Everyone talked a lot, Gu Shubai who was the first to discover the problem of water quality stood up, "Do you still remember the incident where I was assassinated in Changzhou Mansion in the twelfth lunar month last year?"
"Naturally I remember, fortunately Miss Yufu rushed to the rescue with the Second Young Master at that time, and only then did the poison on the Major General be cured!"
Gu Shubai nodded and said: "Yufu has a precious medicine box, which is full of poison and the corresponding antidote. I stayed in bed to recuperate and was bored, so I learned some superficial principles of poison from her. I didn't learn anything else, the smell I remember it very clearly."
He picked up a bowl of clear water, which was dug from a well in the army. "In addition to the smell of yellow mud, the water also smelled like Yufu's treasure box. I can't remember what the poison was, but I nose remembers the smell."
Gu Jiuge said in surprise: "The smell in the treasure box? Let me smell it."
The smell of the clear water was reduced by sedimentation. He stirred the bottom of the water a few times with chopsticks and sniffed it carefully.
"It's a bit like it, but I don't know if it's the smell of poison, or the smell of weeds from the water rushing down from the mountain."
Gu Hanmo took it over and smelled it, but found nothing. He was the most indifferent among the brothers, and he had only seen Yufu's precious box a few times.
At this time, the military doctor hurried into the tent, took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat at the door, and went forward to salute.
"General, the result has already been reached."
The soldier following behind the military doctor took out a bag of water and a bamboo cage. In the cage were two gray and white mice, squeaking manically.
The military doctor clasped his hands and said: "Miss Yufu taught this to my subordinates. She said that the gray and white mice are more sensitive to the medicine. If you are not sure about the efficacy of the medicine, you can feed them to observe the results. The subordinates just fed them. Well water and a little yellow mud in the water, and that's what they look like."
Gu Jiuge said: "I've seen Yufu's little mice and rabbits testing medicine in the west chamber. They are all very well-behaved and never bark. What's wrong?"
The military doctor frowned, "They never bark indiscriminately around my subordinates. I don't know what happened today."
"Look!"
Some young general yelled, and everyone's eyes focused on the mice in the cage. The squeak of one of them turned into a scream, and it lay on the spot without moving.
Soon, the other one did the same, with its body on its back and its feet facing the sky.
The military doctor looked terrified, and the general who still had tea on hand was taken aback and almost knocked over the tea on the table!
The water is really poisonous!
"General, what should I do? Today's water source is sealed up after the time has passed, but before the time, many soldiers in the army drank well water!"
Yan Huashi's face turned pale, "I've also drank the tea made from that pot of water."
Lao Jin glanced at the kettle in the corner, and was still in the mood to joke, "It's a good thing you poured me tea and I didn't drink it, it's a good thing!"
Yan Huashi was not worried about himself, he looked up at Gu Huaijiang, "But the general also drank this pot of tea..."
"Not good! Military doctor! Where is the military doctor?"
In the heavy rain outside the tent, soldiers shouted in panic, Yan Zheng opened the curtain to let people in, "What's going on?"
The soldier said anxiously: "It's not good! General, many soldiers in the camp suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, stiff limbs, and foaming at the mouth. They are about to die!"
Gu Huaijiang immediately stood up, "Military doctor, go and treat the poisoned soldiers immediately, I will go with you to see!"
The military doctor packed up the medicine box in a hurry. He heard from the soldiers that there were many soldiers with poisoned hairs. Which one should he go to
It's over, the water source in the army has been poisoned, and the soldiers have been poisoned on a large scale. If he can't cure it, won't it give the Xikun people a chance to sneak in
For a moment, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, the military doctor who was burdened with a heavy burden wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Gu Huaijiang and the others all walked out of the big tent, they had to see the poisoned soldiers with their own eyes to be relieved, Gu Hanmo suddenly remembered the large package of medicinal materials that Yufu had given him when he left.
He casually greeted a soldier, "Go and boil the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine prepared by the young lady, bring more people to boil it, and immediately drink it for the generals who have drunk water today! Especially the generals!"
The soldier grimaced, "Third Young Master, the water is poisonous, what kind of water do we use to boil the medicine?"
A military doctor has already gone to Zhuguan City to test the water quality. Even if there is no problem with the water quality in Zhuguan, it will take some time to send it immediately.
Gu Hanmo frowned and thought about it. The sound of heavy rain could be heard in his ears. He suddenly had an idea, "Take a clean container to catch the rainwater. Rainwater without roots is the cleanest. The enemy can't poison the sky."
The soldier's eyes lit up immediately, "That's right, why didn't I think of that! The third son is really smart, I'll go now!"
Using Gu Hanmo's method, the military doctor sent someone to collect a lot of rainwater, boil it and precipitate it, and use it to make medicine for the poisoned soldiers to drink.
Unceasing abdominal pain, stiff limbs, foaming at the mouth...
From these symptoms, he couldn't tell what kind of poison the soldiers were poisoned by. There were thousands of strange poisons in the world. He practiced medicine in the army, and he didn't expect to see so many kinds of poisons all at once in two years.
First Kunlun Snow, then this unknown poison.
"What kind of poison did the soldiers suffer from? Has it ever been found out?"
Sure enough, Gu Huaijiang asked this question, and the military doctor stood up and cupped his hands in shame, "Reporting to the general, my subordinates are not talented, and I don't even know what poison is. Now I can only boil the heat-clearing and detoxifying prescription given by Miss Yufu. If the poisoned soldiers drink it, it may be relieved."
He was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it. In just one hour, thousands of soldiers were poisoned in the army. The heavy weight of human lives made him unable to stand up.
Gu Huaijiang didn't blame him, instead he stretched out his hand to help him up, "It's not that you're not talented, it's that the people of Xikun are doing everything they can to make it easy for you to find out what kind of poison it is? The other party came prepared, it's not your fault, you just need to do your best Detoxification is."
The military doctor's expression softened a lot, and he responded again and again, "General, you also drank poisonous water today, is there something wrong with your body?"
Gu Huaijiang shook his head calmly, seeing that there was nothing wrong with it.
Yan Huashi only drank half a cup of tea, and went to the toilet seven or eight times in an hour, and Yan Zheng said that he couldn't get out of bed.
He drank more than half a cup of tea, but his body didn't react at all, and he himself felt strange.
Gu Shubai stood at the side, and answered his doubts at the right time, "Father will be fine, have you forgotten? People who have been diagnosed and treated by the god of medicine are much stronger than others."
