In the past two days, Xia Chu has been busy preparing medicine for Raven.
Because the poison of the Soul Devouring Pill erupts in the middle of the month, this is the best time to find a way to refine the medicine.
He tried various combinations of medicinal materials and managed to concoct an antidote that was comparable to the one he had taken before.
After Xia Chu watched the raven eat it, he consoled him: "After all, it's just the first month I've just started trying it. It will be completely detoxified in the future."
Raven nodded calmly.
He had just finished meditating and pranayama.
After pushing the medicine, the zhenqi that was running around in the body gradually calmed down.
He already thought in his heart that Xia Chu might, indeed, have a way to detoxify the Soul-Eating Pill.
Because this month is the first time since the raven was five years old that he did not have poisonous hair in the middle of the month.
Before that, even if Xia Chu repeatedly emphasized to him that he could detoxify him.
Subconsciously, he still couldn't believe it.
After all, there is no antidote to Soul Devouring Pill.
"After seven days, your martial arts should be back to what it was before."
The raven's eyes lit up.
"Han Yang is not as good as the capital. I can only replace some of the medicinal ingredients in the antidote with other things. After I finish the work here, the medicine I prepare after returning to the capital should be more effective."
Raven nodded.
Xia Chu took Raven to the kitchen to make dinner as usual. Raven followed Xia Chu to Yan Jianghong's tent with the food box.
All other injuries on Yan Jianghong's body have healed, except for the leg that still hangs there.
After all, if you hurt your muscles and bones, you still have to recover for a while.
The four of us still sat on each side to eat.
"I don't know if these soldiers are slacking off because of the warm weather. These two days of training, I always feel that they are a little lazy." Deng Qizhong said with emotion.
It's already March 14th, and the beginning of summer is about to begin. The weather is getting warmer day by day, and with the comfort of late spring and summer solstice, it is indeed easy to slack off during this season.
"Have you increased the dosage?" Xia Chu asked.
"No, they are all practicing as before." Deng Qizhong replied.
"Not to mention the soldiers below, I have recently seen other captains, commanders, and ministers, and they are all weak. When I asked them, they all said they had done nothing, and they felt exhausted." Shan Xiangpeng continued.
"Exhausted?" Xia Chu suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Deng Qizhong asked.
"Do you still remember what I told you about the strange things Raven and I encountered in Hanyang City?" A deep crisis arose in Xia Chu's heart.
"What is the relationship between the two?" Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong both looked confused.
"I hope not, I'll go over and have a look." After Xia Chu said that, he left the tent, and the raven followed him.
Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong were left looking at each other in confusion. Yan Jianghong was still holding the bowl and swinging his legs, at a loss.
Xia Chu walked quickly to the gathering tent where the soldiers lived.
These soldiers at the bottom lived in open bunks, with ten people crammed into a tent.
When Xia Chu went in, he found them lying there in a twisted shape.
Someone inside saw Xia Chu coming and called out: "Doctor Yi."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you go to me?" Xia Chu asked after taking a pulse.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just feel weak, so I didn't bother you." The soldier replied weakly.
After checking his pulse, Xia Chu looked solemn.
He asked with a solemn face: "What have you eaten recently?"
"It's the same as before, there's no difference." Xiaobing saw that Xia Chu's face looked wrong, and asked with a twitch in his heart: "Doctor Yi, are we sick?"
"No. You guys should have a good rest first and stop practicing tomorrow. I'll go find Coach Gu." After Xia Chu said that, he stood up and left the tent. When he walked to the door, he turned back and smiled at them, and said with a relaxed expression: "You guys promised I ate something unclean, so just lie down and treat it as a vacation."
After the soldiers heard what he said, the tense atmosphere just calmed down, and they all smiled and said, "Doctor Yi, go slowly."
When Xia Chu left the tent, his face immediately turned cold.
"The pulse is wrong?" Raven asked.
"Like in the city, this matter is probably going to be big trouble."
Xia Chu was afraid that something would happen at this time of year. He was too sensitive to this time of year.
Xia Chu quickly walked to Coach Gu's tent and saw that he was discussing matters with several colleagues. Then he bowed to the people next to him and said, "I have something urgent to do with Mr. Gu, please make it easier for everyone."
When those people saw Gu Weiyi nodding, they all said goodbye and left.
Gu Weiyi was startled when he saw Xia Chu's serious face.
In the more than a month since Xia Chu entered the camp, Gu Weiyi had only seen him stern once, and that was when he beat Guo Weidong in the martial arts field.
Other times, it's all calm and calm.
Now, when he saw Xia Chu's solemn face again, he felt that something big was going to happen.
He asked with some anxiety: "What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Chu asked.
"No."
"Do you feel tired and powerless?" Xia Chu asked.
"No."
Xia Chu thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you notice that the soldiers in the army have been exhausted these past two days?"
"They are indeed lazy." Gu Weiyi nodded.
"It's not just them. I heard from Xiang Peng that some captains, music commanders, and cloth commanders are also mentally depressed."
"They're okay, just a little worse than usual."
After hearing Gu Weiyi's words, Xia Chu's expression became more solemn. He said to him: "Maybe because you are the head coach, they managed to keep their spirits up in front of you, but even so, you can still feel that they are different than usual. Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter?"
After listening to his words carefully, Gu Weiyi suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart.
"Yi, Doctor Yi... you don't think they were... poisoned." Gu Weiyi stuttered.
"No."
When Gu Weiyi heard that he was not poisoned, his heart dropped.
"Worse than being poisoned."
Gu Weiyi stood up and said to Xia Chu, "What?"
"If it's just poison, I can still cure it. But they are not poisoned. I still need to find out the specific reason. Tomorrow, you can suspend their training and wait until I find the reason first."
"There are so many people, why don't you practice?" Gu Weiyi opened his mouth.
"Are you responsible if something goes wrong?" Gu Weiyi stopped talking.
"Stop practicing. Just report the truth to General Zhao."
"I'll go right away." After Gu Weiyi finished speaking, he was about to pay the bill.
"Wait a minute, send someone to the city first to see if the situation in the city is the same as in the army..."
This time, Gu Weiyi was completely confused. What do you mean, the situation in the city is the same as in the army
Xia Chu gave him a meaningful look and said, "I hope it's different."
Gu Weiyi looked at Xia Chu's sad face and called out in a panic: "Doctor Yi..."
"Nothing, I'll do everything. The investigation must be carried out secretly, whether in the army or in the city. You can find a reason to give the soldiers a day off tomorrow."
"Yes." Hearing this, Gu Weiyi stood in a military posture for no apparent reason and replied. He calmed down for a moment, turned around, and started to do it.
