After hearing this, Dean Bai relaxed his frown and said happily: "This is the best. Can you prepare this kind of poison?"
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Let me give it a try, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Pharmacology and toxicology are interlinked. She can refine life-saving antidotes and murderous poisons.
Xia Yuanqiu said again: "Dean, these locusts are coming strangely, you'd better send someone to check them out!"
Dean Bai nodded: "Yes, in today's Yunyong Continent, there are too few lands suitable for planting, and there are even fewer lands that can grow green grass. We haven't seen such things as locusts for a long time. Even if you see them, they are only in very small numbers. It is unheard of and unreasonable for so many locusts to gather together. Where do these locusts come from? What did they feed before coming to Donghai City?"
The question raised by Dean Bai was exactly the question in Xia Yuanqiu's mind. She said: "Locusts will not suddenly come here for no reason. There must be a hidden secret in this."
Dean Bai nodded: "I will take care of this, and you can concentrate on refining the poison to deal with locusts."
Preparing poisonous recipes requires absolute silence. It is like artistic creation, and inspiration can easily be disrupted by noisy sounds.
She entered the space directly and asked Sifu to bring a message to Zhu Yan so as not to worry him.
Dean Bai took Old Man Li and a few guards out of Donghai College and drove a beast cart to Xie Chen's house.
As soon as they got off the beast cart, they heard crying and howling coming from Jingchen's house. The sounds were shrill and plaintive. Dean Bai shouted that something was wrong and immediately rushed into the yard with Old Man Li.
The yard was surrounded by helpers working in the fields. Seeing Bai Yuan coming, the helpers quickly made way for them.
Dean Bai and Old Man Li quickly entered the back room and saw Xie Chen kneeling in front of an unrecognizable corpse. Xie Chen stared blankly at the corpse in front of him, tears flowing down silently, unable to say a word, I can't even cry.
Lying on the ground was his father, the pillar of the family, but today, this pillar fell!
"Xie Chen, what's going on?" Dean Bai came to Xie Chen and asked.
Xie Chen looked up at Dean Bai and said with red eyes: "I just came back from the academy and my father has become like this. They said it was locust bites that killed my father."
When Xie Chen said these words, his face was surprisingly calm, but his eyes were red and his voice was slightly trembling.
Dean Bai knelt down, hugged Xie Chen into his arms, patted his back and said, "That child, cry out, cry out!"
Xie Chen's tears were hesitant and he couldn't control them anymore. He lay on Dean Bai's chest and cried with a cry.
The woman on the other side cried so much that she fainted several times. To her, her husband was the sky. Now that the sky has collapsed, how can she bear it
At this time, a helper from outside rushed in, knelt down in front of Dean Bai and Old Man Li with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Dean, you must save us, these locusts are too powerful. Even people are eaten. If we hadn't rushed in time today, Brother Xie would probably have only bones left."
"Master Dean, you must find a way to control these locusts, otherwise, we poor people will die at the hands of these damn locusts."
"Yes, Mr. Dean, you must not ignore death!"
Dean Bai said: "Don't worry, everyone, Xia Yuanqiu has started refining poison to kill locusts. We at Donghai College will never sit idly by."
