Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 664 Vole Experiment (4000)

"What does this man look like?"

Hearing this, Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

"This……"

Hu Zhao was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly, "I really can't remember what this person looks like, but if I see him again, I might be able to recognize him."

"Well, you go on."

Wu Liang saw that Hu Zhao didn't seem to be deliberately concealing it, so it was inconvenient to continue asking, and he just nodded slightly as a signal.

"only."

After Wu Liang's PUA, Hu Zhao has now regarded Wu Liang as a senior who is much higher than himself, and gave a very respectful salute, and continued, "It turns out that the man went astray while visiting the hot springs. As a result, I couldn’t find the way out of the mountain for a while, so I was tired and thirsty after walking around the mountain for a long time, and finally met me, so I ran to ask for help.”

"I kindly pointed out the way for that man. I thought he was going to leave after asking the way, but he swallowed several saliva when he saw the fruit in my hand, and said that he hadn't eaten or drunk for several hours. I couldn't move anymore, and wanted to exchange a jade pendant for my 'papaya' to quench my thirst, but he actually took this fruit as an ordinary 'papaya'."

"This fruit is not a vulgar thing. Although I don't know whether it is good or bad, I dare not eat it lightly, but I am absolutely reluctant to let that person eat it. If this fruit has any magical effect, it will be cheaper for him."

"But after thinking about it again, since I don't dare to eat it lightly, I'm afraid I can only let it rot if I keep it in my hand. Even if this fruit really has any miraculous effects, I have no way of knowing. Since this person insists on eating this fruit, why not eat it?" To be a favor that goes along with the flow, give him some to eat first, so it can be regarded as someone volunteering to try the risk for me."

"If there is no serious problem after he eats it, and he even gets some rare opportunity, it will not be too late for me to eat the rest of the fruit, and if something happens to him after eating it, it is he who insists on eating it Yes, I don't want his jade pendant, so naturally I can't blame me... In fact, I also knew that this move was done by a despicable villain, but at that time I was already fascinated, and I still did it knowing that I couldn't do it. "

"So I divided the fruit in half and handed the smaller half to the man."

"The man saw that I didn't want the jade pendant, so he thanked me again and again. Thinking about it, he was really thirsty. He swallowed the fruit whole. It is the sweetest papaya he has ever eaten in his life."

"I didn't dare to talk to him when I saw this, I just watched his changes nervously."

"At first he was very normal, as if he just ate an ordinary papaya, but when he said goodbye to me and was about to leave, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body collapsed on the ground in disobedience. Ask him what's going on, but he can only make a bubbling sound from his throat, and he can't say a word."

"When I saw this, I was afraid of causing death, so I hurried forward and tried to help him up, and brought him back to the city to teach the doctor to diagnose him."

"But he didn't know where the strength came from, and he threw me a foot away, and then he rolled on the ground stiffly like a reptile, white foam kept coming out of his mouth, and what was even more frightening was His eyes, which had been filled with blood at some point, looked like a man-eating monster."

"At the same time, the bones all over his body are crackling non-stop, as if they are being broken inch by inch. Even his hands and feet have undergone abnormal changes, and they can bend in a way that a living person can't do."

"I was terrified when I saw this scene. I wanted to run away but I didn't dare to run away. Firstly, I was afraid of killing someone, and secondly, I also wanted to see what would happen to him."

"After rolling on the ground for a while, the man finally calmed down and lay motionless on the ground."

"I cautiously stepped forward and turned him over, only to find that he was bleeding from all seven orifices and had no breath at all. Only a pair of red eyes were wide open, and there was an indescribable look on his face. The expression on her face is like being frightened to death."

"That was a mess in my mind."

"I'm a little scared. It's me who caused this person to die in peace. I still regret it. I regret that I shouldn't have taught him to eat this fruit, so that he won't be harmed. But until now, I still don't want to part with this fruit." Throwing it away, actually leaving the corpse trembling and throwing it out of the mountain."

"After such a sleepless night, I still can't forget that person. As long as I close my eyes, I will see his unrepentant face, and my heart will be filled with anxiety and regret."

"So the next day before dawn, I took my farm tools and left the city early."

"It was I who harmed him. I should do something for him. No matter how bad it is, I can't teach him to expose his corpse to the wilderness. At least let him go to the ground for peace, so I can feel at ease."

"But when I got to the place, I searched back and forth, but I couldn't find that person's body anymore."

"Could it be that he was eaten by some wild beast? But at the place where he died yesterday, there was not a single trace of a wild beast biting him, nor did he leave any residue. I know that there are few large wild beasts in this generation, and With such a large body, there is absolutely no wild animal that can drag it away completely, so this situation can basically be ruled out."

"But if that's not the case..."

"At that time, apart from a small road leading to the hot spring, even the road leading to the Taiyi Temple on the mountain had been deserted for a long time, basically no locals would come to this place, and if someone really saw this face I am afraid that I would definitely not dare to touch it lightly, I would only be scared to death, so I think this possibility is not too big."

"Although I can't figure it out, this corpse disappeared inexplicably without leaving any traces, as if it had never appeared before."

"Later, when I returned to the city, I never heard anyone mentioning the rumor that a corpse was found in the mountains. Although this incident made me very disturbed, it gradually faded away over time."

"But I haven't forgotten that strange fruit."

"In order to find out what happened to the man after he ate the fruit, and what happened to his corpse disappearing inexplicably, I made many attempts with the remaining half of the fruit."

"Of course I don't dare to teach people to eat it anymore. Later, I used voles caught from the fields."

"Once most voles eat the fruit, they will roll around stiffly like that man. At that time, their strength is also very great. With one hand, they can grab a half-finger-deep hole in the wooden box I used to keep them Kouzi, once I deliberately put a cat in after the voles ate the fruit, but it only took a few breaths, the cat was scratched by the voles, and even some of the wounds were deep enough to show the bones, and finally escaped After that, he died not long after."

"The difference from that man is that the man just bleeds to death from the seven orifices in the end, and these voles will explode and die in just a cup of tea at most, and there will be splattered internal organs, stumps and other organs all at once. The fur is so bloody."

"However, not all the voles ended up in such a miserable end, and one voles survived."

"This field mouse was no different from other field mice at the beginning, but in the end, it didn't explode and die, but was bleeding from all seven orifices just like the man before him."

"I was very puzzled in my heart, so I didn't dispose of it immediately, but continued to keep it closed in the wooden box, and observe whether it will change in the future."

"In this way, it may be possible to solve the reason why the man's body disappeared inexplicably."

"As a result, after several hours, I suddenly heard movement in the wooden box, and when I hurried to look, I saw that the field mouse not only came back to life, but also planed a big hole in my wooden box. I have already escaped from the opening, and I want to go forward to catch it, but unexpectedly it came to me and scratched my paw through the cloth shoes. He took the opportunity to run out of the door and has since disappeared.”

Speaking of which.

Hu Zhao finally stopped, then sat on the ground and slowly took off the shoes on his feet, took off the tabby socks, and showed Wu Liang his right foot for inspection.

He did have a very visible old scar on the back of his foot.

The scar is about a finger wide and an inch and a half long. Although the wound has already healed, it can still be seen that the flesh of the scar is somewhat sunken compared to the surrounding area.

That is to say, the vole's claw didn't just scratch him, but directly sliced ​​off a large piece of flesh.

"..."

Wu Liang was shocked.

This is definitely not the fighting power that ordinary voles should have. If someone pointed to this scar and told Wu Liang that it was actually left by a wolf, Wu Liang would not question it.

Most importantly, Hu Zhao's description of the vole's situation sounded quite similar to the outsider he had mentioned before.

Maybe that person also appeared in a state of suspended animation first, and after Hu Zhao left, that person came back to life like this field mouse... and may have possessed a power different from that of the same kind like this field mouse.

Wu Liang instantly contacted a person - Lu Bu!
According to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's description, after arriving in Wenzhou, Lu Bu inexplicably changed from a chief bookkeeper to a flying general with explosive combat power. No one can say what happened.

Even Wu Liang had reason to suspect that the stranger Hu Zhao was talking about was Lu Bu!

"Have you ever carefully recalled afterwards, when feeding that fruit to that vole, were there any differences in details, which led to different results?"

Frowning, Wu Liang looked into Hu Zhao's eyes and asked.

And the others looked at Hu Zhao eagerly, waiting for his answer. After all, this matter is too mysterious, and it can easily arouse people's curiosity.

And looking at the expressions of Sima Fang, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, they probably had never heard Hu Zhao talk about this matter before.

"I remember it."

Hu Zhao nodded and said, "If there is any difference, it's just that when I fed other voles, I only fed them the pulp, but when I fed this vole, a little bit of the pulp was cut off. The core of the fruit, that's the only difference I can think of."

"The core..."

Wu Liang pondered deeply.

Is there anything else to say about the pulp and core of this fruit?
Then he continued to ask: "Then after thinking about this detail, have you tried to verify this question?"

"This is where I regret the most."

Hu Zhao sighed, and said helplessly, "The vole that ran away swallowed the last bit of fruit I had left, so even if I thought about it, I still have no chance to try it out." , but then I dried the remaining fruit core and ground it into a powder, and recaptured a few voles to try, but unfortunately the fruit core did not have any effect on the voles."

For this answer, Wu Liang also felt a little regretful.

In this way, he will definitely have no chance to see that fruit again, and naturally it is impossible to conduct further research.

"However, I still left some of the fruit core powder. Mr. Wu, do you want to check it out? Maybe Mr. Wu has a lot of knowledge, and he may be able to recognize what the fruit is?"

Hu Zhao took out a small bottle from his bosom as he spoke, and held it in front of Wu Liang with both hands.

"good."

Although Wu Liang knew that since the fruit core had been ground into powder, it was definitely impossible to see the prototype, but this did not affect his simple analysis and research on the composition of the fruit core, so he reached out to take it, and uncorked the vial subview.

There is also very little powder left.

Preliminary estimates are only a dozen grams at most, showing a color close to beige.

It was embarrassing to have so little Wu Liang left.

His understanding of chemistry is very limited, it is difficult to analyze the main components of the fruit core through experiments, and such a small amount cannot withstand any experiments he does.

So even though Hu Zhao handed it over to Wu Liang, Wu Liang may not be able to draw any valuable conclusions, it can only be said that he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"By the way, you don't remember the appearance of the foreigner, but you should still remember the accent of the foreigner, right?"

Wu Liang corked the bottle again, then looked at Hu Zhao and asked.

"Remember, he should have an accent from the north of Bingzhou, and it sounds more like he is from outside the customs."

Hu Zhao replied.

Not running!
It must be Lu Bu!

Lu Bu was born in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou. It should be the Baotou generation in Inner Mongolia, and his accent naturally sounds closer to outside the customs.

Wu Liang was certain in his heart that no matter what, he had found the root cause of Lu Bu's sudden transformation into a "flying general", and it was not for nothing.

Also at this time.

"Young master, take a step to speak."

But Yu Ji quietly came behind Wu Liang, tugged at the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice.

"Patriarch Sima, Mr. Kong Ming, excuse me."

Wu Liang bowed to Sima Fang and Hu Zhao, and then walked out of the hall with Yu Ji. He knew that Yu Ji was not the kind of person who didn't care about the occasion, so there must be something very important to say in this move.
