Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

But if it wasn't for the animal game, the plant fruits and the like...it couldn't be that the old man ran to the jungle south of the Lujiang River with nothing to do, and ate something that shouldn't be eaten by mistake! ?

Randomly guessing, Zhang Yan couldn't figure out why this person was poisoned because of something, so he could only stand obediently behind Fuling, and acted as a spectator with peace of mind.

Fortunately, the few medicinal materials that Fuling prescribed just now are not things that need to be boiled slowly to extract the medicinal power, and the bathing place is not far from the place where the pharmacy is located, so it hasn't been long before the waiter who left earlier Holding a large bowl of muddy soup, he hurried back.

……

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"The soup is here!"

……

Hastily handing over the big bowl of decoction to Fu Ling, the waiter at this moment wiped the sweat off his brow, still resting on his knees, panting unceasingly.

On the one hand, as an ordinary person, he really didn't want to see a stranger's life taken away so easily, on the other hand, he also had a little bit of his own selfishness in this matter.

It was very late now, and in today's bathing place, he was the only guy who could be regarded as the person in charge.If someone was killed in this incident, the impact on him would naturally be self-evident.

Fortunately, as a very experienced old doctor, Fuling's judgment and medical skills are still reliable.

He pinched the fainted man's nose, poured a large bowl of cloudy soup into the other's mouth, then laid the man flat, and squeezed it around the stomach and intestines.

After a series of operations, the originally silent man suddenly retched, and then a large amount of yellow-green vomit spewed out from the opponent's mouth and nasal cavity.

"vomit--"

Accompanied by a very strong vomiting sound, with the help of a few heavy medicines, the man could be said to have vomited for a whole day. It was because of the strong sour and rancid smell that he retreated nearly ten meters away.

Fortunately, however, this method apparently works.

After the old Chinese doctor gave him a few more mouthfuls of warm water, although the man was pale and sweating profusely, he had already regained consciousness, and he was no longer like before, almost unable to maintain his breathing.

……

"I, what's going on with me..."

"Ah, write more about the old man saving me, I passed out just now?"

……

A little blankly glanced at the surrounding direction, the man seemed not to react to the situation at the first time, and he didn't know what happened to him just now.

After he took another breath for a while, he turned around and knelt down in front of the old Chinese doctor Fuling, as if he was belatedly aware of it. .

……

"Ah. This...you don't have to do this. I'm just a doctor, you don't have to, you don't have to..."

Seeing that man panicked, as if he was about to kowtow to him, Fuling was also taken aback, and then quickly helped him up, and at the same time, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Yan behind him.

……

"Here, you can ask yourself. When you get the result, just come to the backyard and find me. I will wait for you here."

"Don't delay too long."

……

Seeing that Zhang Yan waved his hands to him indifferently, and then quietly left the scene, Fuling turned to look at the middle-aged man, with a professional smile on his face.

"Okay then, this strong man, I wonder if you have the time to chat with the old man?"

"You were like that before, obviously you ate something unclean, and then you blocked your breathing, which almost killed you. If you don't want to make such troubles again, I advise you to recall what you ate in the past two days. Don't miss anything."

……

In this way, about half an hour later, when the sky was a little dark, the old Chinese doctor Fu Ling came back to the backyard near the bathing place.

At this moment, Zhang Yan had already looked impatient, obviously waiting for a long time.

……

"Okay. I've asked about something, let's talk about it quickly... It's getting late now, and I really have to hurry home."

His knuckles tapped the table lightly. Obviously, Zhang Yan already felt a little helpless.

He just wanted to relax and go home to have a full meal, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.But if he left it alone, what Fuling said to him earlier, "it might be food poisoning", made him subconsciously pay attention to it.

Food poisoning... Zhang Yan knew it very well.In his limited knowledge, every time he hears a report of food poisoning in the news, there are dozens of people at least, and hundreds of people at most. This can be regarded as a big event for Lujiang now. up.

But what Zhang Yan didn't expect was that Fuling's first words after coming in made him feel suffocated.

Qian Xun: ii zero б ⑧ wu б ○ five Э

……

"...So, you say that this person may have eaten some roasted grasshoppers in the afternoon...?"

Looking at Fuling in disbelief, Zhang Yan's expression was obvious: Either you are a fool, or you are taking me for a fool.

"It shouldn't be! Although I haven't eaten that thing myself, I remember that when I was a child, the older generation in my family often caught some grasshoppers and roasted them..."

"If you talk about poisoning, it's not because of grasshopper poisoning..."

Subconsciously asked the other party a question, Zhang Yan hadn't finished speaking, as if he suddenly realized something, he shivered suddenly, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

……

"Yes, prefect...you are right. Grasshoppers are not poisonous. I have been a doctor for 30 years, so I can assure you of this..."

"It's just the prefect, you should have thought of it...?"

"The farmer said he ate grasshoppers, but that doesn't mean he really ate only grasshoppers!"

Accompanied by Fuling's wry smile, after he uttered these words, the two people in the room trembled in unison, and then cold sweat slid down Zhang Yan's forehead like a waterfall.

"That's right, that's right... If it's not grasshoppers, but that kind of thing, it's really possible to be poisoned by mistaken ingestion... I was negligent."

"But if it's really that kind of thing, the food poisoning thing is okay."

……

"No, compared to the disaster represented by that kind of thing, food poisoning on the scale of dozens or hundreds of people is almost insignificant!"

PY: "There's no bread, so why not cake?"

After asking this sentence, he was simply pushed to the guillotine.

Since then, the Caroline Empire has entered a new era, which is gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory——

Weird!

Corecia said she would rather be a royal mascot than a cake princess!

"Stop! Ms. Prime Minister, although she is a mascot, she is also the eldest princess, so she can't be pinched!"

Chapter 8 Locust Plague

According to what the old man said, he found a lot of grasshoppers jumping in the wheat field this afternoon. He knew that once this thing developed, it would be a disaster, so he wanted to capture and kill them immediately. die.

It's just that he didn't expect that the slow-moving and somewhat scary grasshopper in the past would show a strong aggressiveness, and even bit him twice when he reached out to catch it!

This pissed off the old man.

Thinking that he has been busy in the fields for decades, what kind of grasshopper has he never seen?What kind of bugs have you never caught?

Except for the extremely serious locust plagues in previous years, most of the time, farmers have the absolute initiative in the face of pests in the farmland.

Not to mention being bitten by a grasshopper, at that time, he would have given the grasshopper enough face if he didn't fry the grasshopper to eat, so how could he have suffered such grievances...

Looking at the two bloody mouths on his fingers bitten by the mandibles, the old man didn't stop doing anything. He simply skewered the jumping grasshoppers with a wooden stick, roasted them until they were golden and crispy, and quietly added them to himself. Had a meal.

……

That is to say, this simple meal caused a lot of problems for the old man, and even almost cost him his own life.

……

In fact, if the old farmer had more experience, or Zhang Yan was present at the time, such a thing would definitely not have happened.

Because grasshoppers, commonly known as "grasshoppers", can be divided into three major categories: "grasshopper" superfamily, "grasshopper" superfamily and "locust" superfamily.

Except for the non-toxic "grasshoppers" and "hoppers", the remaining so-called "locusts" carry certain toxins in most cases.

It's just that this kind of locust, because of the consideration of species reproduction and concealment, when the population is small, the glands related to toxins in the body will not develop preferentially, which leads to the fact that in the eyes of many farmers, locusts and In fact, grasshoppers are no different. They are all excellent means for them to supplement protein and other nutrients in their spare time.

Only after the population reaches a certain size, the last stage of development in the adult locust-the development of the poisonous glands will begin.

At this time, the main individuals of the locust army will change their bodies from yellow-green, which is easy to hide, to blue-black, and at the same time, their food intake will skyrocket. "Disasters" such as complex landforms.

……

(ii) 0, [-], [-], [-], б○, ⑤

According to the normal situation, there are several necessary conditions for the occurrence of locust plagues, that is, firstly, the areas where locust plagues occur must be dry deserts and hilly landforms all year round, because only the soil of these landforms is suitable for locusts to lay eggs in large quantities.

Afterwards, when these usually arid areas receive a rare large amount of precipitation, and dry weather appears again after the precipitation ends, this series of changes will make the locust eggs in the ground seem to be "activated", and within a period of time Quickly hatch, and then use the high-quality food brought by the previous precipitation to expand the population to an unimaginable level within 20 to [-] days.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases, those areas that suffer from locust plagues do not produce locusts themselves.

In places like Guangdong, Guangxi, Henan, and even India, the large locust plagues they encountered in historical records basically started from the Gobi and deserts in Northwest China and moved all the way here.

More seriously, there are many locusts native to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and even the Arabian Peninsula. After several months of flight, they finally landed on the vast Indian plains.

It can be said that as long as there are aggressive and poisonous locusts appear, it means a very simple thing - there must have been a locust plague somewhere around the Lujiang River.

As for where the few locusts found alone came from...it doesn't really matter.

They may be half a step late in hatching and strayed away from the main force, or they may be "outposts" of other locust troops.

No matter why they appeared here, within half a month at most, there will be a truly large-scale locust plague sweeping across the entire Lujiang River, causing unprecedented damage to Lujiang's agriculture and animal husbandry industry.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yan mentioned before that the impact of eating grasshopper poisoning is far greater than the food poisoning itself.

……

You must know that in ancient times, any agricultural civilization had three disasters that could not be faced, namely "drought", "flood" and "locust plague".

Among these three disasters, the first two may have caused great harm to the people themselves, but when it comes to the impact on the population and even the entire society, I am afraid that when they add up, they may not be worth half of the locust plague.

As we all know, locust plagues are composed of millions or even tens of millions of locusts. These locusts will eat up all the plants in an entire ecological area in an instant, so that the people's food will not be harvested. Eat up the green leafy plants in the grassland and even the forest, and let all the beasts living in the jungle starve to death.

For the people in one area, this is equivalent to turning the entire city and even the surrounding area into a "dead zone", forcing them to scramble to migrate towards the surrounding area like those locusts.

According to the records in the history books, Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty had been on the throne for 18 years, nine years of severe drought and nine years of severe flood. It can be said that it was really unlucky to the extreme.But whenever Zhang Yan heard his friends joke with him about this matter, he would subconsciously feel that Chongzhen was not unlucky, and could even be said to be a little lucky.
