List of strange talismans

Chapter 63 Diseases
Gu Xiuya signaled Ma En to take it easy, then pushed the door open and took Angelet aside.

"What disease?"

He cut to the chase and pointed to the key.

Angelet stammered a little: "Okay, it seems to be the plague."

Gu Xiuya frowned.

"So you want to tell me that you haven't been able to implement the disinfecting measures such as washing your hands before meals that I ordered you to arrange?"

"No, Your Excellency, I've made arrangements! I even had someone sneak a look at it at mealtime, and no one was lazy about it. There was a plague in Galanz, and no one would take it lightly. "

Angelet explained.

"Where's Satchett?"

"It's the same with him, Your Excellency. You know that we have been helping to repair the Taoist temple these days. Everyone here regards your words as an oracle, and dare not be perfunctory."

"What you mean is that you washed your hands with lime water before meals, and boiled your food in clean water before eating, yet some people still got the plague?"

Angelet nodded nervously.

Not right.

Gu Xiuya frowned.

There are two stupid boa constrictors in Sachet's body, and his physique is far superior to other people.

In this case, it is not to say that there is no disease, at least it should not be suffering from the plague even when the protective measures are basically in place.

Unless it's not an ordinary plague.

Gu Xiuya thought for a moment, took out a mask from his backpack, put it on, and threw one to Angelet.

"Take me to Satchett."

Looking at the mask that was whiter than snow in his hand, Angelet hesitated for a while and said, "Can I keep it and pass it on to my children?"

Gu Xiuya didn't talk nonsense, just took the mask and put it on his face.

"You'd better save your own life than a mask."

"lead the way."

After half an hour.

Gu Xiuya followed Angelet to Sachet's house.

A small gray two-story building with peeling walls.

The traces left by the rain are faintly visible here, and the ground is full of residual gravel and solidified footprints.

The good news is that there is no smell of excrement, and the sheets hanging out are old and yellow, but at least they are clean.

"This is the house that Sachter bought from someone else when he first came to Galanz."

Angelet said beside him, "Because it's close to the mayor's mansion, the price is much more expensive than other houses at that time."

Gu Xiuya turned his eyes to the right, and looked at the high wall next to him.

Matthews' mansion is on the other side of the wall. From here, you can see the big trees and tall plants in the yard, and you can faintly hear intermittent human voices.

Gu Xiuya listened carefully, and he was sure that a group of people were drinking and making a fuss, cheering like a celebration.

The death of the owner did not make his house fall silent, on the contrary, it became more lively.

Gu Xiuya looked back along the high wall, and noticed a group of patrolling guards coming from the corner of the wall.

The other party seemed to have noticed his iconic black hair, and then stopped, discussed in a low voice for a moment, turned and left.

"Honestly, Your Excellency. I don't know what's the point of them patrolling now."

Angelet seemed a little dissatisfied with these people, and said with sarcasm: "When Matthews was still alive, I never saw them so diligent."

Gu Xiuya's hands stopped when he was about to open the door.

He turned his head: "Are you sure?"

"Uh, what?"

Angelet was a little confused.

"Frequency of patrols."

Gu Xiuya looked at Angelet: "Compared to the past, has the patrol frequency of these people changed significantly?"

"Of course, sir."

Angelet nodded affirmatively: "Sachet told me personally that he said that he would encounter these patrolling guards when he returned home recently, and sometimes he would be woken up at night."

Gu Xiuya narrowed his eyes slightly.

The employer is dead, and these private guards are still patrolling on time every day, and even the security measures are better than before. What are they trying to do?
He remembered the request of Captain Jeffrey.

"As long as you allow us to stay in the mayor's mansion and deliver food on time"

Always, stay in the mayor's mansion.

Gu Xiuya chewed on this sentence, and vaguely had a guess.

—There was something in the Matthews house that Jeffrey, the captain of the guard, was keeping a close eye on.

Jeffrey is either seeking this thing, or he is protecting this thing.

Judging from the cheers I heard just now, it may have been found.

"Tell Childe back and find someone to keep an eye on this place."

Gu Xiuya gave Angelet an order, and did not rush to satisfy his curiosity.

He took out a glove, put it on, turned the doorknob with the tip of his finger, and entered the house.

As soon as he entered, Gu Xiuya could smell the strong smell of lime water, and there were irregular white splash marks everywhere on the ground, indicating that someone had splashed and disinfected it not long ago.

Angelet stepped forward to lead the way, and Gu Xiuya followed him through the entrance, and saw Sachet in the bedroom with the door half open.

The weak boy sat on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were opened and closed from time to time, he looked drowsy, and his mental state was very bad.

"Satchett, Your Excellency the Saint has come to see you."

Angelet said.

It was only then that Satchett came back to his senses.

Seeing Gu Xiuya, he was obviously surprised and struggled to get up.

"Sorry sir"

Gu Xiuya waved his hand to signal Sachet to sit down.

He stepped forward to the bed and noticed a bowl on the bedside table, which contained half a bowl of brown turbid soup, and he could vaguely see a few roots similar to lemongrass.

Baldhead grass, a kind of herb growing around Galanz, has a certain analgesic effect and is generally used to make chewing ropes for livestock.

"Where does it hurt?"

Gu Xiuya asked directly.

Sachter pointed to his head.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly.

"Open your mouth and see."

Satchett did as he was told, sticking out a whitish tongue.

"Did you have diarrhea?"

Satchet nodded.

Diarrhea with white fur looks like a disease of weak spleen and stomach.But the complexion should be sallow. What's the matter with the whiteness?

".Hold out your hand."

Sachter held out his hand.

Gu Xiuya felt his pulse, and immediately felt a headache.

If the pulse sinks frequently, it is cold when it sinks late, it is hot when it sinks several times, and it is summer-damp if it is slow
This is one of the few half-baked medical scriptures he still remembers, but at this moment none of them match.

Satchett's pulse beat irregularly, at least he, a half-barefoot doctor, couldn't see it.

What made Gu Xiuya even more puzzled was that Sachet's symptoms were very different from diseases like dysentery.

It doesn't look like he has diarrhea caused by exogenous pathogenic factors, but rather like indigestion after eating too much.

Should not be ah.

There are two separate bodies in his body. It stands to reason that as long as he doesn't force-feed food into his stomach, he can digest as much as he eats.
and many more!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuya suddenly realized something was wrong.

He quickly mobilized the power of the stupid boa constrictor to investigate, and then he was shocked to find a problem that he had ignored.

There is one missing body in Sachet's body!
