Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 414

"If these people were poisoned and died, why didn't they die after being bitten by a mouse?" Feng Qingyao asked.

After a person dies, the poison in the body will not disappear, but there are so many rats around the corpse, but none of them are poisoned to death.

What is the reason?
"Beizhi once heard of a diseased rat. After it bites a person, the person who is bitten will be poisoned and die. When it dies, many black spots will appear on the body. But because the poison is carried by the rat, the rat will not die. " A soldier said, and he was a little uncertain, "However, I have heard that this kind of rat is only found in the smoky forests of the Western Regions."

"This is not far from the Xiliang border, will someone catch them and put them here?" Feng Qingyao asked.

"I can't rule out this possibility, but I can't rule out that these people are definitely infected with the plague." Mo Zhanhua glanced at the mouse on the ground with his deep eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the difference between the sick mouse and the normal mouse?" ?”

"I don't know about this humble position." The soldier replied.

Mo Zhanhua lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he ordered: "Find a secluded place and burn these corpses to prevent them from infecting others with the plague."

"Yes." The crowd took orders.

"Yao'er, you come with me." He said again.

Feng Qingyao didn't know what he was going to do, so she followed him and walked back into the village.

The two searched almost the entire village, and finally found a live rooster in the yard of a family at the head of the village.Presumably the owner left too hastily and didn't have time to take all the poultry away.

Seeing Mo Zhanhua reaching out to pick up the bamboo cage that held the chicken, Feng Qingyao immediately understood his intention.

"Are you going to take this chicken and test the rats to see if they are sick rats?"

"Correct."

Carrying the chicken coop, the two returned to the well just now.

The soldiers of the King of War Army have already left, and the corpses are gone.Only a few pieces of silver that Feng Qingyao left to the child when she left last time were left on the ground, and when the sun shone, they shone with scattered light.

Feng Qingyao didn't go to pick up those silver taels, but saw a mouse lying beside the bucket, picked it up with her long sword, and threw it into the chicken coop.

The rooster in the cage was startled by this sudden little thing, and instinctively flapped its wings to escape, but the cage was too small, and when it jumped, its sharp claws accidentally stepped on the mouse.

The mouse was stepped on anxiously, opened its mouth to bite it, got out from under the bamboo cage and ran away.

In less than half a moment, black spots appeared on the rooster's crimson comb.All of a sudden, it raised the feathers on its neck, stretched its neck, and fluttered wildly in the cage.

The last struggle before dying seemed to have exhausted all his strength, leading the cage far away.

Less than half a moment later, the rooster flapped its wings and died.

"It's really a problem with rats." Feng Qingyao pondered, "It seems that when these people came to fetch water, they were bitten by rats and died of poisoning." But people are not stupid. Do not hide?

"This king thinks that someone threw the poison from the mouse into the well." Mo Zhanhua pondered.

If you are bitten, you will be poisoned and die, which means that the rats are very poisonous. If someone takes their blood and sprinkles it into the well water, then the nearby villagers will also be poisoned if they drink the water.Moreover, the blood at 01:30 melted into the well water, and there was no way to detect it.

"It's really insane!" Feng Qingyao was furious, and suddenly thought of something——
