Chapter 448: Mad Fruit
Seeing that the doctor had walked away, Qi Guanxiong turned around and led the horse to a high place. He didn't worry about the doctor, he was worried that he would be killed by that group of crazy people. If something happened to the doctor, he would have blamed himself for death.
Worried about the neighing of the horses, Qi Guan Xiong did not dare to get too close. He was worried that something would happen to the doctor, and after thinking about it, he still tied the horse to the side. And then! Try to get as close as possible.
The descendants of the old patriarch chose to sit on a gentle slope, some distance from the mountains to the north. There should be three or five roads to the foot of the mountain, which does not affect the sunshine.
Seeing this situation, Qi Guanxiong was very happy. What does it mean? It shows that the descendants of the old patriarch are not so crazy, and they have not completely gone crazy.
The weeds and shrubs on the high slopes were cleared, and the trees were not cut down. It takes time to cut down trees, and they don't have time for it.
Now, they are all building temporary tents around the trees, which is a temporary home. Women and children are doing things in front of their homes on high slopes, clearing weeds and shrubs around their homes. Men are cutting down trees and building roads.
Other than that! A few others went to the nearby flat land, probably considering land reclamation.
There were only a few dozen people in the old patriarch's family, and after they dispersed, it was like there were few people.
Seeing that there is not even a decent home over there, Qi Guanxiong can't bear it. He didn't mean to drive people out, but in that case, if you don't drive people away, people don't know how to run rampant in the village?
But! Thinking about the fact that the well water was poisoned, he did not regret it.
If they hadn't been driven away, how would they have known that the well water had been poisoned?
If they hadn't been driven away, they had been eating this poisonous well water, then! The consequences are unimaginable! It's not just that they're crazy, but! It will also intensify the conflict with the villagers. When the time comes! Maybe others don't have the virtue of being an official bear, and bloodshed may occur. When the time comes! It's only going to get worse.
The doctor appeared in his sight with a horse, and to his disbelief, no one was hanging him. He stood to the side, like a passing guest, looking at the busy people.
In Qi Guanxiong's imagination, the descendants of the old patriarch should be very nervous when they see a stranger coming. Outcome! But there was no one to take care of it.
The physician came over and looked at the descendants of the old patriarch from afar. He wanted to find out if there was anyone he knew. Outcome! He didn't know any of the people in front of him.
Seeing that no one was hanging him, he had no choice but to come to Gaopo to look for a woman. In his impression, women are still more accessible.
When he came to the high slope, he was as surprised as the doctor, and the woman ignored him. Opposite! Women work better than men. They threw the baby aside, no matter whether the baby was crying or playing, they only cared about their own work.
On the high slopes, pieces of land have been divided. Weeds and shrubs between the sites were cleared. Inside the plots, temporary tent homes are set up. Women are doing things in their own territory, in front of their own doors.
The doctor walked a few houses, but no one paid attention to him. In desperation! found a middle-aged woman with a sad face and walked into her territory.
"You?" The middle-aged woman was too lazy to take care of him at first, but suddenly found that the middle-aged man in front of her seemed to know?
Right! He's a physician in the town.
"Hello! You guys? How did you get here? I? I've seen you at the bazaar! That's right! Your baby was sick that year, or did I heal it! You also gave me a wolfskin! Yeah! ”
As if seeing a savior, the doctor found a breakthrough.
"You? How did you get here? There is no one here for twenty miles? You? When the middle-aged woman recognized the doctor, she was even more surprised.
"Me?" The doctor paused for a moment and said, "I happened to be passing by!" I? Am I not? I want to walk through here, as a result! Lost! I can't find the mouth of the canyon! ”
"Oh! Since you're here, let's have lunch at my house! Afternoon! I'll ask my man to take you to the mouth of the canyon! The road here is not easy to walk, there is no road! When the middle-aged woman saw that she was a doctor, her expression improved. In order to thank the doctor for the events of that year, she asked the doctor to have lunch at home.
"What are you? You guys? "When the doctor saw the humble appearance of the family, he thought to himself, why should he keep me to eat? What to eat? Do you have anything to eat at home?
"It's hard to put into words! Have a seat! I'm going to cook! If you're idle, can you help my baby see a doctor? How many babies are there in my family? It seems like? All? None of them are normal? The middle-aged woman said, throwing the sickle in her hand to the ground, looking like she was going to cook.
When I came to the little babies, I grabbed one in one hand and mentioned it to the doctor. And then! Throw it on the ground. The level of brutality is unbelievable.
"You?" When the doctor saw this, he didn't know what to say.
Obviously! This tall middle-aged woman is also deeply poisoned, and her brain is not normal. Several of her little babies are also abnormal. After being thrown over, he just looked at him so stupidly.
"Is this poisoning?" The doctor looked at it carefully and said very seriously.
"Poisoned?" When the middle-aged woman who walked to the door of the tent heard this, she immediately paused and answered.
"What did the baby eat before? It seems that I have been poisoned for a while, chronic poisoning! This? What fruit did you pick up the mountain for the babies to eat? The doctor asked, pretending to be serious.
"What kind of poison is this!" After hearing this, the middle-aged woman stopped cooking, turned around and came back immediately.
"It's the juice of the madman's fruit!" The doctor made it up.
"Mad fruit?"
"It's a delicious wild fruit, and it's said that if you eat one, you'll want to eat it the next day. Although the fruit is delicious, it is addictive. And most crucially! It can make people go crazy slowly! ”
"Ahh When the middle-aged woman heard this, she exclaimed.
"We don't seem to have a crazy fruit? Where did the madman fruit come from? The doctor asked, pretending to be the real thing.
"Where's the mad fruit? Physician! The middle-aged woman came to the doctor, squatted down and looked at her baby, then looked at the doctor, and said, "I said that the taste of the well water has changed and you can't eat it, but their men just don't believe it, they must eat it." Outcome! Eat the babies like this! ”
"Well water?"
"Well water!" The middle-aged woman nodded affirmatively and said, "One day, I suddenly noticed that the smell of the well water had changed. But when I told them, they paid no attention to me. ”
"Have you eaten it?" The doctor asked anxiously.
"I ate some! Afterward! We don't eat well water. It didn't turn out to? Our family is in a better situation! This is not? Their home! There are several of them, and the babies are crazy! ”
"Oh? It turned out to be well water? Got drugged mad? The doctor feigned surprise.
I thought: OK! It's good to have someone who understands!
What if you don't understand people's words? Convincing this group of crazy people really takes time and thought, and there are also risks.
