Chapter 57: Poison to save people
The poison is readily available, and Chuanwu is extremely poisonous, and there is a large area in front of you.
Qian Jin Yifang has long been familiar with it. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. A doctor can prepare medicine to save people, but if he does the opposite, he can also prepare medicine to kill people.
Compared with coming up with a way to save people, it is much easier for them to prepare poison. There are several tripterygium vines not far away. This thing is also highly poisonous and can directly tear off the cyanobacteria used to bind and pull them out.
After pulling out all the Sichuan Crows, they tied them up into two large bundles. They carried them with both hands and continued to move forward.
There are many poisonous insects in this area, and few people come here on weekdays. Even people who collect medicines don’t seem to come here. Various medicinal herbs can be seen everywhere. After walking a few dozen feet, I encountered several plants with blue flowers. This thing
It's not platycodon, but a branch of artemisia on the snow, which is highly poisonous.
This thing is the most poisonous among poisons. There are five trees in total, large and small. Pull them all out and take them away.
The official ship was diverted from the water to the north, and it needed to circle around from the south bank, so the journey was unnecessarily long. In order to catch up with the official ship as soon as possible, I kept running through the mountains and running as hard as possible.
While running, he never stopped searching for medicinal herbs, but what he was looking for this time was no longer highly poisonous, but other medicinal herbs that could buffer the toxicity, including Tripterygium wilfordii, Chuanwu, and Artemisia vulgaris. These three poisonous herbs have different properties.
If they don't conflict with each other, they will overlap. Once these bundles of poisonous weeds are burned by fire, the poisonous gas they emit can directly kill people. But in addition to the evil thieves of the Beggar Gang, there are also oarsmen and the hijacked boatmen on the ship.
People, we cannot poison them to death.
After stumbling for four or five miles, I finally narrowed the distance to about two miles, but until now I had not found any medicine that could buffer the toxicity.
The reason why he didn't find it was not because he hadn't encountered it, but because he hadn't thought about what kind of drug he should be looking for. To be precise, he hadn't thought about what properties the drug he was looking for should have.
It seems complicated, but in fact it is also very simple. If you set a fire on the ship, the poisonous smoke will float to high places, and it will be difficult not to affect those people other than the evil thieves. And the evil thieves of the Beggar Gang are all martial arts practitioners and have spiritual energy cultivation.
Because they are more resistant to the poison than those oarsmen and people on the boat. If the poison is weakened, they can save other people on the boat, but they will not be able to kill those evil beggar thieves.
It's easy to find a few antidotes, but if everyone is poisoned, he can't just save Miss Zhao's family and ignore the others on the deck, but he doesn't have the ability or time to save everyone.
I thought anxiously while I was breathing, and after pondering, I finally came up with a way, paralysis, limb paralysis, trying to make the poisonous gas emitted by burning poisonous weeds only paralyze people's limbs without harming their lives.
No matter what you do, the most difficult thing is never how to do it, but determining the final goal before you start. Only when you have a clear goal, can you do the next step?
We can move forward step by step and in an orderly manner around this goal. Diligence and persistence without a clear goal are like headless flies flying around and are meaningless.
Clematis and Jiujiefeng, these two herbs can change the toxicity of poisonous weeds such as Aconite. They can also produce a paralyzing effect while weakening the toxicity. However, these two herbs do not grow nearby, so use Curculigo and Goosegrass.
Instead, curculigo and goosegrass, combined with the snake venom he collected earlier, can have the same effect as the Nine Festival Wind.
Finally, he plucked some blue flowers from a branch of wormwood on the snow for later use. Although this flower comes from a highly poisonous herb, it has a detoxifying effect.
After doing this, the next step is the most dangerous step of boarding the ship.
At this time, the evildoers on the sampans have already boarded the official ship. Those small sampans are tied to the stern of the big ship. You can first try to climb onto the sampan, and then pull the ropes on the sampan to board the official ship.
There were dense woods on both sides of the tributary where the official ship was located. Using the cover of vegetation, I ran into the woods on the right side of the official ship, cut off the hem of the clothes contaminated with snake venom with a dagger, and stuffed them into the bundle of Chuanwuli.
The evil thieves of the Beggar Clan all had spiritual cultivation and clear eyes and ears. They were afraid of being discovered by them, so they did not dare to go into the water too early. Instead, they waited patiently until the official ship passed by, then lurked into the water, dragging a few bundles of herbs and swam towards the official.
The sampan behind the boat.
By the time he grabbed the side of the boat and climbed onto the sampan, he had no strength left in his body, but he did not dare to delay. After a short breath, he turned over and sat up, tied the herbs to his body and grabbed the rope to climb up.
There was no one guarding the stern of the ship. After a while, he climbed onto the second deck of the official ship smoothly and with difficulty.
After climbing onto the deck, the first thing he did was to cut the cables that tied the sampans to the stern, leaving only one sampan for his later escape.
He didn't know where the Beggar Gang thieves were now, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After thinking anxiously, he decided to risk going to the second-floor cabin. Most of the second floor was used for loading rice and grain. The rudder cabin was located at the bow of the second-floor ship, and the cook was located on the second floor.
At the stern of the ship, he had lost the fire stick on his body. He needed fire and fuel to support the fire, which could only be obtained from the cook.
I carefully pushed the door open and entered the cabin. The first thing I saw was a pile of corpses. Most of these corpses were oarsmen, and there were also a few cooks in the kitchen. These cooks were all old women, even though they were unarmed.
, the evil thieves of the Beggar Gang did not let them go, and they were all hacked to death in the corridor leading from the kitchen to the middle cabin.
While he was squatting next to the body and fumbling for fire, the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly in the middle cabin.
Hearing the footsteps, the soul of the deceased was in a panic. He suppressed the nervousness in his heart and gently raised his feet to hide in the hut where vegetables were stored.
But this hut has no door, so if someone passes by here, he will definitely be able to see him.
In desperation, he could only squat in a corner and block the few bundles of poisonous weeds he carried with him in front of him. Naturally, these bundles of poisonous weeds could not completely block him, but it was better than no cover at all.
Fortunately, the visitor did not enter the kitchen, but was counting loudly in the middle cabin, seemingly counting the amount of food and grass. .??.
I once heard Chen Liqiu and others say that the ears and eyes of warriors with spiritual energy cultivation are more sensitive than ordinary people. They are worried that they will hear strange noises, so they breathe softly and slowly, and dare not even breathe out.
There were two people entering the middle cabin. After a rough count, they started to go to the front cabin. While walking, someone said, "This ship is loaded with fine rice. Are you going to give all this rice to Zhu Quanzhong?"
"
"When you go to seek refuge, you must submit a declaration of surrender. You can never go empty-handed." Another person said.
"We have done something big this time, can we cover up the noise?" Many people who spoke were worried.
"Who would know if they are not left alive," the other man comforted, "Besides, if these grains are sent to the court, they will definitely be allocated to Li Keyong. Li Keyong is Zhu Quanzhong's mortal enemy. We robbed him on the way. Isn't that right?"
Zhu Quanzhong’s wish was fulfilled.”
"Hey, I'm still a little worried. After killing so many people, if the news leaks out, we, the Beggar Gang, may not have a foothold in the future, and even people in the world will look down upon us."
"Sure, people in the world think highly of us," another person said casually, "Besides, Li Keyong has reported to the court, falsely accusing us of rebelling, and the court has ordered a strict investigation. If we don't strike first, Japan will
I’m afraid I will die without a burial place.”
The voices became quieter and quieter until they were no longer audible. Needless to say, the two of them were already far away.
After the two of them had gone far away, they came out of their hiding place, found a fire break from one of the cooks, and found half a bucket of fat from under the kitchen, and slipped into the middle cabin with the bundles of herbs.
The rice grains were packed in sacks. The grease was poured on the sacks, the herbs were scattered, and then the sacks were set on fire with a fire stick.
After the fire started, I panicked, and forgot to think of a way out. The thieves would definitely come to put out the fire later, so where should I hide?
At this critical moment, he suddenly got wise and rolled down in the kitchen aisle, covered in blood. He smeared the blood on his hands and smeared it on his head and face. Finally, he lay down on the floor of the kitchen and started to pretend to be dead.
After lying down, I suddenly saw two large water tanks with water in the kitchen. I was worried that thieves would come to bring water to put out the fire, so I went to the toilet.
He climbed up and wanted to overturn the water tank.
Halfway through the push, I suddenly thought that the thieves had not noticed the fire in the middle cabin at this time. If the water tank broke and made a sound, the thieves would be shocked.
Thinking of this, he let go of the water tank and ran to the small room where vegetables were stored, lying down and pretending to be dead.
The sacks were flammable, and they burned faster after being sprinkled with grease. The fire quickly started, and the middle cabin was quickly filled with thick smoke.
I had just taken the antidote pill not long ago, but before the effect of the medicine wore off, I was unexpectedly poisoned. The fire became more and more intense. The beggar gang thieves on the ship finally discovered that there was a fire in the middle cabin, and hurriedly shouted and ran from all over to put out the fire.
At this time, he was lying on the ground. He couldn't see what was happening. He could only hear the beggars shouting and cursing. Most of the oarsmen had been killed by them before, leaving only a few.
, at this time, everyone in the Beggar Clan suspected that they had set the fire, so they became angry with them, urging them to put out the fire, and at the same time put out the fire themselves.
The corridor was in chaos, and he lay patiently still. He didn't know martial arts and was exhausted. As long as one of the beggar gang members was not poisoned, he might lose his life.
As the beggars and oarsmen worked together to put out the fire, the fire in the middle cabin gradually decreased. However, it was difficult to completely extinguish the sack after it was burned. If it was not completely extinguished, it would continue to smoke.
Soon they heard the curses and urgings from the members of the Beggar Clan. It seemed that one oar hand had been poisoned and collapsed. The members of the Beggar Clan didn't know why, so they just thought they were cheating, so they couldn't help but curse.
When one of the beggars was poisoned and fell to the ground, one of the policemen woke up and hurriedly shouted a warning, "No, the smoke is poisonous. Get out quickly."
This person discovered it too late. He was lying down at the stern of the ship. No one escaped from the stern. With the sound of collapse and falling, the middle cabin quickly returned to calm.
He lay down for a while, but no one came in. Then he got up and turned to look at the middle cabin. He saw a large area densely packed in the aisle. The fire had been extinguished, and only the embers on the sack were left.
It is difficult to revive from the ashes.
This is all he can do. If there are still fish that slip through the net, he can only accept his fate.
The situation was critical, so he did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and went to the third deck.
Since it was located at a high place, those abducted were less likely to inhale the poisonous smoke. Except for a few elderly and frail people, everyone else was still standing.
"I've poisoned them unconscious, you should run away quickly," he said loudly.
He was covered in blood and suddenly appeared again. Everyone was shocked and no one answered him.
