Chapter 146 204~205 Face Evil Gu and Divine Doctor

After a few hours.

afternoon.

The wind and snow had stopped, and Chen Zheng led the team to hurry all the way in the ice and snow, and finally arrived at Liangshan County.

Liangshan County is a small county with a population of less than one hundred thousand. The city walls are low and dilapidated, far from the grandeur and prosperity of Lingqiu County.

A few sergeants in tattered padded jackets were stationed at the gate of the city. After Chen Zheng and others showed their identities, they entered the city smoothly, and then went straight to the county government.

The county seat with a population of only a hundred thousand or so is naturally not that big, and the city looks bleak in the middle of winter.

The snow on the main avenue has been simply swept away, but there are very few pedestrians on the street, and from time to time you can see stiff figures curled up on the corner of the road, like wild dogs that have been frozen to death. People care.

But after walking for a mile or two on the main road, Chen Zheng saw no fewer than ten refugees and beggars who had frozen to death.

In today's world, there are beggars and refugees everywhere, especially in the middle of winter, these people can't keep warm from the cold, and naturally they can only freeze to death.

Regarding this, he shook his head secretly, speeded up, and led his men to the county government office while inquiring.

Although the entire Liangshan County is bleak and dilapidated, the county government officials are equally majestic and majestic. After Chen Zheng and others arrived, they got off their horses and showed their identity badges to the government officials stationed at the gate to explain their origins. They were immediately welcomed in respectfully. .

Pass through the vestibule and come to the side hall of the county government.

Just sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, two figures walked out from behind the screen, laughing loudly:
"Which one from the Supervision Department has arrived?"

The person who came first was wearing a green gown of egret, obviously the parent official of a county, and the one next to him was dressed as a teacher.

Chen Zheng immediately got up to greet him, his eyes slightly surprised, he cupped his hands and said:
"But Ou Shuhuan Ou county magistrate? I'm Chen Zheng, the new inspector of the Supervision Department. He was ordered by the commander to come to Liangshan County for investigation and support."

The county magistrate of a small county like Liangshan County is from the seventh rank, which is at the same level as the inspector of their supervisory department, and the status of the two is equal.

However, the person who came was handsome and imposing, and looked to be only about [-] years old. He was really too young for the position of county magistrate. I don't know which family he was from.

Ou Shuhuan smiled and raised his hand:

"Chen inspector came from a long way, but he is welcome from afar, please take a seat."

Chen Zheng sat down and looked around:
"Magistrate Ou, dare to ask where Li Hongda, Inspector Li from our Supervision Department is?"

Ou Shuhuan also sat down, sighed softly:

"Inspector Li is still going outside to investigate and investigate. He may be investigating the situation at the clinic of Dr. Hu."

Chen Zheng asked: "Who is Miracle Doctor Hu? We are new here, and we don't know the details of the strange things in the county. Please let Magistrate Ou let us know."

With a dignified expression, Ou Shuhuan said slowly:
"The story started more than half a month ago. Around that time, people in the county began to get sick for no reason, and once they got sick, their vitality and blood would decline in just a few days, and even healthy people would become skinny. As if sucked dry and angry.

This kind of disease is unprecedented, extremely strange, and it spreads very quickly. Dozens of cases occur every day. The doctors and doctors in the county are helpless, and they can't even find the cause.

Fortunately, at that time, a genius doctor surnamed Hu came from afar, came here to diagnose and treat some patients, and found that these patients were all entered by a strange Gu insect, entrenched in the heart veins Inhaling qi and blood in it will lead to the decline of human essence, and the bones will collapse.

However, although that genius doctor Hu has rejuvenated his body and applied strategies, he was able to get rid of the Gu worms in some patients with relatively mild symptoms, but some patients with more serious conditions were helpless and could not be cured. "

Chen Zheng frowned suddenly:
"It's impossible for the Gu worm to come out of nowhere, is there an evil monster?"

Ou Shuhuan nodded and said:

"That's right. We also suspect that evil spirits are behind the scenes to spread the poisonous Gu. As expected, after inspector Li's investigation, he discovered the existence of Gu insect eggs in several wells in the county, and ordered the entire county's well water It must be boiled before drinking.

Even though I sent someone to block the well, there has been an endless stream of people who have been infected by the Gu during this period of time. Dr. Hu alone has no skills, and more and more people died of being killed by the evil Gu. Find out, this Liangshan County is afraid."

The situation was more serious than imagined, Chen Zheng immediately said:
"Where is Master Hu's clinic? Can Magistrate Ou send someone to take me to see those who have been infected?"

"As it should be."

Ou Shuhuan gave a few instructions to the master secretary beside him, and the other party went out to call out, and after a short while, a short and strong middle-aged man in heavy clothes walked in:
"The magistrate is looking for me?"

Ou Shuhuan nodded:
"Wang Butou, this is Inspector Chen from Lingqiu County. He has come to Liangshan County to assist in the investigation of the evil Gu. You take him to the clinic of Divine Physician Hu."

The man promised in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Ou Shuhuan said to Chen Zheng again:

"This is Wang Qingshan, the head catcher from Liangshan County. He has rich experience. Inspector Chen can find him for matters such as case details and mobilization of manpower."

The catcher called Wang Qingshan is not young, but his temperament is capable and calm. Chen Zheng nodded to him:
"It's time to work, let's go to the medical hall to have a look."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and bid farewell to Ou Shuhuan, and led his subordinates and Wang Qingshan out of the county government office, heading towards the clinic of the so-called genius doctor Hu.

Along the way, both pedestrians and vendors were sparse, and few of them were seen, which made this small town reveal a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Wang Qingshan was taciturn, just leading the way, and Chen Zheng took the initiative to ask:

"Wang Butou, how many people in Liangshan County have been infected by Gu?"

Wang Qingshan thought for a while and replied:

"So far, according to the statistics, there are more than [-] people, half of them are in mild condition, and their condition has improved after taking the gu-dispelling soup of doctor Hu; Some of them were seriously ill, discovered too late, and died of blood depletion.

The number of those who died without treatment, calculated sporadically for more than half a month, is already more than a hundred people. "

So many people died?

Chen Zheng frowned slightly: "Are they all ordinary people?"

Wang Qingshan sighed and shook his head:
"No, it's strange to say that most of the mild cases are ordinary people, but some people with strong bodies and martial arts have a deep Gu, which is difficult to get rid of. If you don't find out the culprit as soon as possible, get rid of the Gu poison , the fate of these people is also very worrying.”

Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows: "That's indeed a little strange."

Generally speaking, those who practice martial arts have a strong body and a strong body, so they should be more resistant to Gu insect toxins and the like.

The result is not as good as ordinary people, which is really contrary to common sense.

Wang Qingshan glanced at Chen Zheng, said in a low voice:

"Chen Xuncha, a certain family can see that you are capable, and the county government will fully cooperate. I hope you can find out the troublesome beast as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know how many people will die!"

When it came to the end, Wang Qingshan was already gnashing his teeth, and Chen Zheng nodded:
"I'll try."

The county seat is so big, and after getting to know each other along the way, the group soon arrived at a medical clinic.

However, the entrance of the medical hall was crowded with different kinds of people at the moment.

Most of them were thinly clothed civilians whose faces were blue from the cold, and a small part were strong and obviously martial arts practitioners, but they were all shouting:

"Great doctor, doctor Hu, I'm not feeling well, maybe I've been poisoned, please show me!"

"Miraculous Doctor Hu, help, help, I've been poisoned too!"

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, please help me, I don't want to die!"

During the shouting, several yamen servants with white cloth belts on their shoulders tried to maintain order:

"Don't worry, don't worry! The medical hall is already full, you wait first!"

The noise was loud, and Chen Zheng looked at the scene: "These are...?"

Wang Qingshan said helplessly:

"Although the county magistrate ordered the news to be blocked, the news of the evil Gu in the well water still spread, causing everyone to panic. These days, people come to seek medical treatment from Dr. Hu every day, but in fact at least half of them are If there is no Gu, let's enter through the back door."

Chen Zheng nodded, and Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingshan came to the back door of the medical hall, bypassing the noisy and eager crowd.

The back door was also locked. After Wang Qingshan knocked on the door for a long time and announced his identity, he was opened by a medical apprentice.

I saw the smell of medicine in the backyard.

A thatched shed was set up in the originally spacious courtyard. Under the thatched shed were rows of straw mats, and skinny figures lay curled up, groaning feebly.

Coming and going, many medical school apprentices were making soup and medicine, and from time to time brought in one by one medical seekers from outside, or carried corpses covered with white cloths and left through the back door, very busy.

In the small courtyard, there was almost no place to set foot. From here, the rooms of the medical center were overcrowded.

Chen Zheng looked at all this with a frown, then took two steps forward, and came to the corner, in front of a man with a black face and only skin and bones left in his body, and carefully looked at it.

I saw that his aura was like a gossamer, he lost consciousness, his pupils had shrunk, and his bare skin was shriveled, as if his flesh and blood were withered, close to the state of a mummified corpse.

Not knowing what happened to the Gu worm, Chen Zheng didn't dare to touch it rashly, but Wang Qingshan who was next to him suddenly shouted after searching:
"Inspector Li!"

At this moment, a tall man was walking out of another room with a serious expression on his face. Hearing this, he immediately looked at him.

Then he looked at Chen Zheng who was wearing the inspector's official robe with a little hesitation:

"Is this a colleague of the Supervision Department, why haven't I seen it?"

Chen Zheng got up and bowed his hands in salute:

"Chen Zheng, just took up the post of inspector last month, and was ordered by the commander to come to Liangshan County to support inspector Li."

"I see."

Li Hongda, who hadn't returned to Lingqiu County for two months, suddenly cleared his doubts, and then looked at the four Chang Qing behind Chen Zheng:
"The situation in Liangshan County is very complicated. I have already mentioned it to the commander. Inspector Chen only brought so many people?"

Chen Zheng said: "There is Teng Qilong who came to Liangshan County with me, but his footsteps are a little slower than ours, and it may take a while to get here."

"Teng Qilong is here too?"

Li Hongda's eyes moved slightly, as if a little helpless:

"Let this master come to Liangshan County, Mr. Liu will really arrange it."

Apparently the other party also knew about Teng Qilong's reputation, Chen Zheng didn't answer, but looked around and asked:
"Inspector Li, are these people who have been bewitched?"

Li Hongda nodded and sighed:
"That's right, but these are just some of them. There are still a lot of serious illnesses next door, and it's hard to recover with only one breath left."

Chen Zheng murmured:
"What does the so-called evil Gu look like, and how did that genius doctor Hu treat it?"

Li Hongda said in a deep voice:

"I've never seen a Gu worm. It's said that its whole body is black and purple, and its shape is like an earthworm. When it's fully mature, its head looks like a human face, so it's called Human Face Evil Gu. As for the treatment methods of Divine Doctor Hu, follow me."

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes, and led Chen Zheng and others to the big room of the medical hall.

The big house was also overcrowded, and those lying or lying in the corners were all Gu bewitched.

Walking through the corridor to the innermost room, Chen Zheng saw a middle-aged man in a white robe with a tired face, who was lighting incense, holding a gold needle in one hand, and a medicine bowl in the other, and ordered the two helpers The yamen servant poured medicine on a skinny man on the bed.

After the decoction was poured, the man trembled slightly all over within a short while, but was held down by two Kong Wu's powerful yamen servants and couldn't move.

After a while, the trembling of the man became a little smaller. The middle-aged man in the white robe pulled the clothes off his chest, then took out several golden needles, and slowly pierced them into his chest.

Seven or eight golden needles pierced in a row, and the tail of the needle trembled endlessly. The man on the bed suddenly struggled violently and let out a heart-piercing scream.

And from this angle, Chen Zheng saw clearly with his extraordinary eyesight that there seemed to be something constantly bulging and wandering on his chest, which was extremely strange.

But at this time, the middle-aged man in the white robe had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and suddenly picked up the small knife in his hand, stabbed it, and stabbed it!
The chest was pierced, blood was flowing, and on the knife and sword, a strange insect with the length of an index finger was twisting and struggling crazily.

The voodoo victim passed out instantly. The white-robed man put the voodoo in a crock pot next to it and covered it. Then he stopped the bleeding and treated the wound on the man on the bed, and said with a tired look on his face:
"Okay, the Gu worm has been eliminated, it should be fine to rest for a while, let's take him down."

The two yamen servants lifted the man down respectfully, while Li Hongda came with Chen Zheng, and politely cupped his hands and said:
"Miraculous doctor Hu has worked hard, but the method of getting rid of the human face Gu has been perfected?"

The man in white robe called Master Hu was over forty years old, even though his face was tired, he couldn't hide his compassion, and said:
"Not yet. The human face Gu resides in the vital organs of the heart. It is very vicious and has extremely tenacious vitality. There are still very few people who can expel the Gu insects with the aid of decoction and the golden needle acupuncture. Only after a long period of decoction suppression can the Gu Only those who have stopped developing and sucked blood energy have a [-]% to [-]% chance of success.

However, my strength alone is limited, and I can't take care of so many Gu insects. It is best for Inspector Li to find the instigator as soon as possible, and obtain the method of dispelling the Gu insects from him, so as to save these lives."
