Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 625 Toxic
Sure enough, something happened. Ding Ermiao was shocked and asked, "Is Old Wei dead?"

Although Ding Ermiao didn't know Lao Wei, it was a human life after all.

"It's not Old Wei who's dead, it's Old Wei's cow that's dead." The messenger said, and then asked Ding Ermiao: "Who are you...?"

Ding Ermiao did not answer him, and said to Wu Jian and others: "Let's go to Lao Wei's house and have a look."

Wu Jian nodded and led the way, leading Ding Ermiao, Ji Xiaoxiao and others towards the east end of the village.The villagers from before naturally followed suit.

After walking more than 100 meters, we arrived at Lao Wei's house at the east end of the village.

Mr. and Mrs. Wei were in the cattle pen in the backyard, howling and crying at the motionless buffalo on the ground.

In rural areas, the death of a cow is not an easy matter.Now the economy is developing and the conditions are better.In the past, this cow was almost half of a farmer's property.

Ding Ermiao sniffed and felt a heavy smell of blood.

When he stepped forward to check, he didn't find any injuries on the cow's body.However, the cow's mouth was still bleeding.

When I probed it with my hand, there was still warmth on the cow's body, so it should have died soon.

Wu Jian and the villagers went up to comfort Old Wei and said one after another: "Old Wei, please be patient. It is winter now, the cow is dead, but the beef can still be eaten. Hurry up and find the pig butcher in the back village to skin the cow. Come on, get the beef out..."

"You can't eat this beef, it will poison people!" Ding Ermiao interrupted the villagers.

"Beef is poisonous?" The villagers were collectively stunned and looked at Ding Ermiao helplessly.

I originally thought that if the old Wei family's cow died, everyone could still benefit from it, eat a piece of beef and get a share of the pie, but this humble hope was completely destroyed by Ding Ermiao.

Lao Wei was even more dumbfounded, and even lost his temper at Ding Ermiao, scratching his neck and saying: "Who are you? How do you know that my beef is poisonous?"

They originally planned to skin the dead cows and sell them for meat. Although they were sold at a low price, they could still make some money.After Ding Ermiao said this, who among the villagers would dare to come and buy beef?

"Don't ask me who I am, first tell me how your cow died?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Old Wei looked at the dead cow again and said hesitantly: "It, it... didn't it die of vomiting blood?"

The cow's mouth was still bleeding, so Lao Wei said that the cow died of vomiting blood.And after repeated inspections, there was indeed no wound on the body surface of the cow.

Ding Ermiao slowly shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this cow died because something got into its mouth and then its heart was eaten."

"Ah..." Everyone was shocked again.

"Now, the monster's poison has been distributed throughout the body along with the cow's blood. Beef is extremely poisonous. Eating a piece of it can kill someone," Ding Ermiao continued.

Old Wei naturally refused to accept it, and stretched out his hand to break the bull's mouth.Ding Ermiao hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Hand carefully, if your hand is broken by the ox teeth and stained with poisonous blood, you will suffer."

Frightened by Ding Ermiao, Old Wei withdrew his hand again, staring at the dead cow on the ground in a daze.

Wu Jian said: "Go and call the pig butcher at the back, peel off the beef and throw it to the dogs. Then you will know whether it is poisonous or not."

Ding Ermiao waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't bother me. If you have any bacon at home, just cut a piece of it, dip it in the poisonous blood from the cow's mouth, and then throw it to the dog."

Old Wei was dubious, so he cut a piece of bacon from the kitchen, about two or three taels in size, carefully dipped it in the poisonous blood, and then threw it in front of his guard dog.

The watchdog sniffed, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of bacon.

"Woooo... woo..."

It only lasted more than a minute at most, when the guard dog suddenly fell to the ground, its limbs twitched, its whole body trembling, and it kept wailing.Then he foamed at the mouth, struggled again, and was miserable.

Everyone was shocked again, and Old Wei was like a thunderbolt, sitting down on the ground, dazed, making clay and wood sculptures.

"Now this dog is the same as the dead cow. It cannot be eaten." Ding Ermiao said: "If you don't believe me, now you have lost another big dog. Why bother, alas..."

Wu Jian and other villagers finally believed in Ding Ermiao's methods and knowledge, and asked one after another: "What should we do with these dead cows and dogs now?"

"Dig a hole, bury it deep, and then use a tractor to put in several loads of quicklime for disinfection. Otherwise, the underground water source will be contaminated, and people in the entire village may get sick."

When Lao Wei and his wife heard this, they burst into tears.Originally, the death of a cow was a huge blow, but now we have to buy lime and dig holes to bury the dead cows and dogs.

How many deep pits must be dug to bury this dead cow.

Seeing that Lao Wei's family was poor and the couple was pitiful, Ji Xiaoxiao interrupted: "Hey, this is related to the safety of the whole village. The whole village should help and pool money to buy lime."

Wu Jian and the villagers present looked at each other and nodded in agreement.Let's all bear the burden together. A few loads of quicklime is not child's play?

Seeing that Wei's mood calmed down a bit, Ding Ermiao asked, "Old Wei, when did you find out that this cow died? Tell me about it."

"When I was sleeping, I heard chickens flying and dogs jumping, so I got up to check. When I went to the backyard, I heard plopping in the cow pen. I turned on the light and saw that my cow was lying on the ground with four legs in disarray. Kick."

"Did you see anything else?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Old Wei's face was a little nervous and he said:

"Before I turned on the light, I seemed to see a dark thing, as thick as an arm and as long as a pole, crawling out from the fence of the cattle pen. It climbed so fast, I don't know...if it was me. It's blinding."

Looking in the direction of Old Wei's finger, outside the fence of the cattle pen is the back mountain.

Ding Ermiao nodded and asked Wu Jiandao: "Uncle Wu, who is the village chief in your village?"

"I am the village chief." Wu Jian grinned, with a hint of pride as a leader on his face.

"Okay, Village Chief Wu, let's go back to your home to talk about this alone." Ding Ermiao smiled and walked out of the courtyard of Old Wei's house.

Back at Wu Jian's house, several people were talking in the backyard.

"Village Chief Wu, there are many people talking, and I'm worried about causing panic, so I didn't dare to say too much at Old Wei's house just now." Ding Ermiao said: "I already know the thing causing trouble at night, it is... the centipede spirit. .”

"Centipede?" Wu Jian and Qinglan Ji Xiaoxiao both looked terrified.

"Yes, Centipede Spirit, that's why those roosters had such a big reaction last night." Ding Ermiao continued:

"This kind of centipede, also called the heart-eating centipede, specializes in eating the hearts of animals or people. It enters through the mouth and leaves no trace on the outside..."
