West of Huang'an County.

A gurgling water flows through from west to east.

Su Dawei stared at the river and searched upstream along the source.

"The water is very clear and there will be no problem."

Ming Chongyan said on the side: "I have been here for almost twenty days and have been drinking water from this river. I have never had stomachache."

Su Dawei glanced at him: "Everyone said that living water is not a big problem, so I'm afraid of stagnant water."

After a stop, he asked the thoughtful Gao Dalong and Ming Chongyan: "This river should be the snow-water mountain that originated from Tubo. The water is all made of ice and snow, so there is no big problem. Apart from this stream, is there any stagnant water nearby? Lakes and other types?"

Ming Chongyan glanced at him curiously: "How can you be sure that the source of this water is transformed from snow-capped mountains in Tubo? I don't know how far this place is from Tubo."

Su Dawei looked "It's hard for me to explain to you." Do you want to talk about the knowledge he learned in his previous life?

Seeing Gao Dalong also looking at him, he had to say casually: "All water must have a source, and all water will be from high to low, without exception."

Gao Dalong and Ming Chongyan nodded in recognition of this.

"There is no higher land than Tubo in the entire terrain. The water naturally flows from high to low, from Tubo to Shu, and then turns from Shu into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, irrigating Guanzhong and even the entire Central Plains, and then flowing into the East China Sea."

In Su Dawei's opinion, this was a simple truth, but Ming Chongyan and Gao Dalong were both shocked.

"It makes sense to think about it."

"Strange, why no one has told me about this before. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River were originally transformed from the Tubo snow-capped mountains. The Tubo terrain is high, and water flows from the high..."

"Don't talk about these useless things, I'm looking for lakes and stagnant waters now, and look at the situation over there, hoping to find something."

Su Dawei said with a serious expression: "The epidemic is urgent. You don't want to see this kind of epidemic poison break out outside Shu, right?"

Because of the mountains in Shu, many Qiang and Miao villages are fragmented and do not interact with each other. This is beneficial to both the virus and the epidemic.

If there is less communication, the spread will naturally slow down.

But it’s different when you leave Shu.

After leaving Shu, he immediately went to Longyou and Guanzhong.

If this poison is released, it will be a disaster.

With the dense population of Guanzhong and Longyou, the consequences are unimaginable.

Realizing the seriousness of this matter, Gao Dalong and Ming Chongyan's faces changed slightly.

Gao Dalong frowned first, then patted his cheek and said, "My mother, what can I do if I fuck me? I'm half weird."

"Even if you don't care about yourself, what about the big tiger? And the big tiger's wife and children in Chang'an really doesn't care?"

This question stopped Gao Dalong.

He touched his forehead, and his eyes flashed: "You are right, okay, are you looking for a lake? I remember there was a stagnant pool on the way here, which should be a stagnant pool separated by rocks. I'll take you over and take a look."

Gao Dalong led the way, and Su Dawei and Ming Chongyan followed behind.

They are all strangers, and their feet are strange.

It took dozens of miles of mountain road, but it was only half an hour.

The trees ahead gradually widen, and a blue water pool was vaguely seen.

Walk forward dozens of steps, cross the winding mountain path, looking at a blue sky, and below is a lake that is as smooth as a mirror.

"It's here. I don't know what it is called, but I saw it when I came."

"Did you drink water from this lake?"

Su Dawei asked specifically.

Gao Dalong shook his head and said, "At that time, the water bags in the team were all full, so I didn't drink them, I just passed by."

"What about you?"

Su Dawei turned to Ming Chongyan: "Have you ever been to this lake? Have you ever drunk the water here?"

"No."

Ming Chongyan shook his head: "There is live water in the county, so I don't need to go so far to get water."

Su Dawei nodded, walked towards the lake without asking any more questions.

The reason why he asked these was because he could see that the lake was not big at first, and the second was indeed a lake isolated from the outside world, that is, stagnant water.

Or many years ago, it was also part of those streams, and later as the crust changes, the river channel is blocked and eventually becomes a pool of stagnant water.

Of course, it may also be a natural stone pit formed by meteorites or ground cracks, which are later filled with rain.

No matter which type of water, it means that this lake water has lost its function of self-cleaning.

In this kind of place, water sources are most likely to be polluted.

Although it is more than twenty miles away from Huang'an County, it is only half a day away, and it is not too far.

This is in line with Su Dawei's previous speculation.

"The lake looks very clean, not like insects."

Ming Chongyan caught up with Su Dawei and whispered.

He didn't say anything, the lake water did look clear and transparent, so clear that it could reveal the figure.

Su Dawei shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with whether the water is clear or not. It is mainly because of the blocking environment. Whether it is someone poisoning or the parasites in the lake itself, they are easy to grow."

"Parasite?"

"There are 48,000 insects in a bowl of water. Do you understand? Alas, don't worry about this."

"Why did the numbers change again? Didn't you say that there were three thousand insects in one go?"

Su Dawei no longer paid attention to Ming Chongyan's problem. Under the gaze of Gao Dalong and Ming Chongyan, he walked along the shore of the lake while observing.

On the surface, the lake seems to be fine.

At least I didn't see anything special.

There is neither filth nor the pungent smell of heavy industry pollution in later generations.

But soon, Su Dawei realized something was wrong.

"Did you find out?"

“What did you find?”

“The color of this lake is different.”

"Um?"

After being reminded by Su Dawei, Ming Chongyan and Gao Dalong discovered that half of the lake was clear, while the other half was dark blue, which was invisible at first sight.

I don't know how deep the lake is.

"This may be because the lake water is too deep, so I can't see clearly, so I can't explain anything."

"Maybe, but maybe..."

Su Dawei shook his head, pointed his hand ahead and said, "What is that?"

In the dark blue lake, a corner of white is faintly seen floating and sinking.

Ming Chongyan took a look and volunteered: "I'll go and break the branches and come and take a look."

"No need to be so troublesome."

Su Dawei reached out and grabbed it in the void.

Yuanqi comes out from his palm, like a long whale spitting water, spitting and collecting.

Whale sucks.

The thing floating in the lake was suddenly pulled out of the lake and flew towards Su Dawei and the others.

Gao Dalong glanced at it and shouted strangely: "Your mother! Don't get it here!"

Ming Chongyan's face changed, and he instinctively raised his palm and wanted to swing it out.

Su Dawei flipped his palm, and the thing changed direction in the middle, and with a click, he threw it more than ten feet away from the three of them.

There was a foul smell in the air.

The thing that was thrown onto the shore of the lake was a white bone.

It is said that the white bones are not accurate enough, or to be precise, they are half highly corroded with white skeletons, and the other half are still sticking to the corpse of animal bones that are foaming.

On those eroded flesh, white maggots were vaguely seen squirming.

Ming Chongyan's face changed drastically, and he flashed and turned around, not looking at this thing.

"This... what the hell is this? How come it is in the lake!"

"There are many animals in this lake."

Su Dawei said: "When I pulled out this one just now, I saw that there were still many below."

"Don't take it out, it's enough to have this one!"

Ming Chongyan quickly added, for fear that Su Dawei would pull out all the corpses rotten at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, I am also very glad that I have always drunk the water from the streams and have never collected water from this lake.

Who would have thought that such a clean and clear lake water would have sank so many corpses at the bottom of the lake.

It's simply creepy.

A red light flashed in the tall dragon's eyes: "This thing... reminds me of old things in the army."

Ming Chongyan had already adjusted his condition and turned to him and said, "What kind of old thing?"

"When I was conquering Baekje, those Baekje restored troops used corpses to fill the wells, and many corrupt corpses floated downstream to the Tang army, and deliberately did not restrain the corpses of the dead... and wanted the Tang army to have an epidemic outbreak."

Ming Chongyan had never experienced such a war, and he felt disgusted just by listening.

He is not afraid, he is disgusted, and he is obsessed with cleanliness.

"These Baekje people are simply disgusting."

"If the corpses of dead animals are allowed to ferment and rot in the water, if people don't know how to drink them, they will get infected."

Su Dawei's faint Tao.

He knew that that kind of rotten thing would cause chaos in the army.

"Fortunately, Ami promoted hot water drinking in the army, and all the food in the mouth had to be cooked at one time. The corpses were filled on the spot and lime was sprinkled. We were there and finally got through the danger safely."

"Is it... the method recommended by County Magistrate Su? Hot water?"

"It's just boiling the water."

Su Dawei explained to him: "I don't worry about insects in the water. After boiling, all insects will be killed."

"oh."

Ming Chongyan seemed to understand it, but when he turned to the lake, he couldn't help asking: "There are so many animal corpses in this lake, is it the poison that makes people turn into monsters, really from here?"

"I can't be sure, I still have to try the animals."

Su Dawei looked at him and Gao Dalong: "Why do you two go find some animals to try it out."

"My mother, it's been two years since the famine and disaster. How can I find animals now? I haven't seen them all the way."

Gao Dalong snorted coldly.

"Speaking of this, the lake is indeed a bit strange."

Su Dawei suddenly said.

"How strange?"

"You talk about famine, disaster, wild animals were eaten up, and those who had no food fled. This is possible, but what about the fish in this water? No one was seen, it is impossible. There was no fish in this lake, right?"

"Uh, you mean?"

"Do you guys fish?"

Su Dawei laughed and walked to the bushes on the shore, looked up and down, picked one and tried the feel, gave up, and chose another one. Finally, he chose the toughest one, cut it down with a horizontal knife, bent the wooden pole and tried to test toughness in the attention of Gao Dalong and Ming Chongyan.
