"Yes! How could I forget you in such a hurry? Ziyue, take Mr. Xia to the village quickly."

Guo Yu said loudly and a little happily.

The old man asked Guo Yu with a puzzled look on his face: "Aunt, is this young man okay?"

"Uncle Chen! Don't you even believe what I say? Take him to have a look quickly! Don't waste any more time. Ziyue, you put on a mask, it feels like this disease is contagious."

Guo Yu, who was sitting on the bed, yelled very anxiously.

Wei Ziyue quickly opened the cabinet, took out a medical kit, and took out two masks.

Seeing this, Xia Jian stepped forward. While taking the mask from Wei Ziyue's hand, he said to Wei Ziyue: "Hold the medical kit and let's leave quickly."

Although Niutou Village was shrouded in black night at this time, the whole village seemed extremely restless.

Especially the noise of people, the barking of dogs, and even the uncomfortable crying of children. Hearing all this, Xia Jian's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Pushing open a dilapidated wooden door, several adobe and tile-roofed houses were vaguely visible in the dim light.

Even before he entered the house, Xia Jian felt the poverty of Niutou Village. There are not many people living in such houses now, but Xia Jian walked through the village and felt that many people lived in such houses.

On a large bed in the upper room, there was an adult and three children lying on the bed. These people were all curled up, with their hands on their stomachs. One child was still crying and felt a lot of pain in his stomach.

When Xia Jian saw this, he quickly walked over. He felt the pulses of these people and found that they all had the same symptoms.

"How's it going? Did you see something coming? It's not the plague, is it?"

Wei Ziyue looked nervous. She was a girl after all, not to mention she had never experienced a battle like this.

Xia Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems to be food poisoning. May I ask this old man, what do you eat for dinner?"

Uncle Chen sighed and said: "No one cooked dinner, it was just for lunch. I was not at home at noon, so I didn't eat the food at home. When I got home in the afternoon, they were all like this."

"We all ate wild mushrooms picked from the forest and rice."

The little girl lying on the bed said loudly, holding her belly.

Uncle Chen frowned and said: "Yesterday they all went to the forest to pick mushrooms. There were so many people in the village. It's impossible! We have eaten this kind of mushrooms for many years and have never had such a problem."

Seeing that Uncle Chen didn't believe what he said, Xia Jian smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they brought back poisonous mushrooms when they went to pick mushrooms."

Xia Jian didn't expect that after he said this, Uncle Chen began to believe him.

Xia Jian thought for a moment and said to Wei Ziyue: "Hurry up and find some people to count and see if their symptoms are the same as those of Uncle Chen's family."

"In addition, collect all the licorice in the village. If there is none, send people to dig it overnight. There should be a lot around the village."

Xia Jian quickly arranged another task for Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen nodded and said: "These things are all available in our village. I will find them for you in a while. I will send these things to you in a while."

Xia Jian frowned and thought for a while and said, "Let's set up a pot at the gate of Wei Ziyue's house to boil the antidote."

After Xia Jian said that, he turned around and left.

After coming out of Uncle Chen's house and walking in the alleys of Niutou Village, Xia Jian could feel the eerie atmosphere of the village. He didn't seem to feel this way when he came during the day.

As soon as Xia Jian stepped through the door of Wei Ziyue's house, his cell phone rang. Xia Jian took out his cell phone and saw that the call was from Wei Ziyue. He answered the call without thinking.

"Hey! Xia Jian! I asked a few people to help me and made the statistics. There are 16 households like this, 78 people have the same symptoms, and all of them ate wild mushrooms. It seems

Your inference is correct, they are indeed suffering from food poisoning."

Wei Ziyue said loudly on the phone.

Xia Jian thought for a while and said, "You did a great job. Now you can find some young people, get two big pots, and ask some women to set up iron pots to boil licorice soup at the door of your house. This matter will be handed over to you."

Here you go."

After Wei Ziyue finished speaking, she hung up the phone a little anxiously.

Two hours later, several pots were placed at the door of Wei Ziyue's house.

Guo Yu, who heard the voices, sat on the bed and asked loudly: "Mr. Xia! What's going on with so many people in the village?"

Xia Jian said loudly: "You will be poisoned if you eat all the wild mushrooms."

Guo Yu, who was sitting on the bed, sighed and said, "I'll trouble you about this."

Not long after, with the help of everyone, several large pots started to steam.

Add the collected licorice, first use high heat, then medium heat, then low heat.

It was almost past twelve o'clock when the licorice soup was ready.

With the help of Wei Ziyue and several villagers, the poisoned villagers lined up to drink licorice soup.

After drinking round after round, Xia Jian's purpose was to use this ancient method to excrete the poison from these people's bodies.

After all the fuss, it was almost daybreak.
