Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

The seeds of the horse chestnut tree are very similar to chestnuts, and people who are not careful may mistake them for chestnuts.

However, chestnuts are very fragrant and sticky after being cooked, but horse chestnuts are very bitter after being cooked. You will vomit after eating a few bites, and eating too much can be fatal. There are horse chestnut trees in and around this village, and this season happens to be the season when the horse chestnut trees mature.

The horse chestnuts lay in a thick layer on the ground and no one picked them up.

"I asked Zhou Tong, and he said that the village used to sell horse chestnuts at a good price. The front and back of houses and even the nearby hillsides were all planted with horse chestnut trees. But later, the merchants who bought the horse chestnut trees stopped coming. Horse chestnuts are poisonous, so people usually don't touch them. Adults and children all know that people die in this village when it rains. When it rains in spring and summer, horse chestnuts are not ripe. This assumption is not valid!"

Li Changsheng quickly rejected Chang Xiao's guess.

Not to mention that the villagers have been planting horse chestnuts for a long time, and both adults and children know that horse chestnuts are poisonous. Just observe those who died suddenly, they all died when it rained. If people died when it rained in spring and summer, horse chestnuts can definitely be ruled out as the cause.

"Yes, I observed the families who had accidents. First, their houses were very close to the river, almost right next to it. Second, the dead had big stomachs, which means there was something wrong with what they ate, such as poisoning or something they ate."

The one who spoke this time was Xu Da. Although he didn't talk much, Li Changsheng knew that he had secrets and they were not as simple as he appeared.

Otherwise, the only one who could survive this team was Xu Da, and he eventually became a general.

This was the first time he took the initiative to analyze his own views in front of everyone. In the past, he would just follow Sun Xuanyang and remain silent.

Sun Xuanyang is young and inexperienced, he doesn't understand many things and is very confused. Xu Da, on the other hand, is the kind of person who is wise but appears foolish, and who deliberately keeps his secrets to himself and doesn't want to attract attention.

"Yes, I also think what Xu Da said makes sense. When it rains, will the river swell? If so, will something poisonous enter the deceased's house? Or, will the deceased eat something by mistake and be poisoned? Also, those villagers who cremated the dead were obviously slightly poisoned. I think the herb used by Zhou Tong to detoxify is also a clue!"

Li Changsheng praised Xu Da in front of everyone. This made Xu Da, who was originally hesitant about whether to stand out and be remembered, look hot and excited.

In fact, he wanted to get close to Li Changsheng many times and ask him for some advice, but for some reason, Li Changsheng was lukewarm towards him. At least he looked like he didn't really trust him and didn't regard him as a brother.

This made Xu Da wonder if he also looked stupid and stupid because he was always with Sun Xuanyang?

What makes Li Changsheng not optimistic about him?

So he planned to try it out today, at least to show his ability in front of Li Changsheng. After all, only those with ability will be noticed by others. Sure enough, being praised by Li Changsheng this time made Xu Da feel excited and felt that he was on the right direction.

The atmosphere became more lively. Xu Da analyzed all his guesses. Chang Xiao and Monkey also interrupted from time to time. Zheng Yong looked at Li Changsheng from time to time, and seemed to be very surprised by him. He didn't expect that Li Changsheng knew so much.

Xiong Qiang looked sleepy. He didn't understand and wanted to sleep.

Sun Xuanyang and the two brothers Li Youtian and Li Youdi on the side widened their eyes and pricked up their ears for fear of missing anything. This was truly an eye-opener for them.

Zhu Kaisheng was older and would occasionally interject a word or two. The ones who came up with the most ideas on the scene were Chang Xiao and Xu Da. Chang Xiao was okay, as everyone knew that he was knowledgeable and an old man in the advance camp, but Xu Da was a surprise.

This person who usually doesn't talk much, surprisingly analyzed this matter in a very logical and well-reasoned manner. The key is that he observed very carefully. Only he and Li Changsheng could think alike.

After discussing this, Li Changsheng's thoughts became clearer and clearer. Suddenly, there was a bang. Everyone looked and found that it was Xiong Qiang who dozed off. His body leaned back and hit the wall, which scared him awake. Seeing that everyone was looking at him and laughing, he also smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard today, let's go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow Xu Da will go find Zhou Tong and get the detoxifying herb. Ask everyone what kind of poison this herb can detoxify. What kind of poisonous herb likes to come out on rainy days, or can cause death, or make people pregnant..."

Li Changsheng quickly told Xu Da to do this job, which was a good opportunity to test his actual ability.

Xu Da happily agreed, and the crowd dispersed. The villagers and servants had already arranged accommodation for them and asked them to rest.

Li Changsheng discovered that the accommodation he was arranged to live in was a separate wooden house at the highest point of the village. The house was exceptionally clean from the washing. The bedding on the bed was surprisingly new, with big red wedding characters embroidered on it, giving the impression that it was the one that someone was going to use to get married.

The girl who served him was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She said that Xiaohe Village was poor, so they took out the best things in the village. The bedding was originally for her brother to use when he got married, but it was estimated that he would not be able to use it in the future because no girl was willing to marry into Xiaohe Village.

The girl was pretty and had a pair of big, twinkling eyes.

She called herself Wang Xiu, she was eighteen years old and had an older brother and a younger brother. Life in the village was very difficult and many people were panicked and fled for their lives.

But they were reluctant to leave, and were afraid that if they left Xiaohe Village, they would be eaten by ferocious beasts before they could go far.

When Li Changsheng saw Wang Xiu, he brought him hot water and chatted with him about the village. It was obvious that the villagers in Xiaohe Village lived a hard life, which made Li Changsheng sigh.

He thought of Jun Jiufeng.

She was high and mighty, always in the imperial city, and she might not know that the people in many parts of the Great Yan Dynasty were living a hard life.

Especially in some mortal villages, it is not easy to survive.

Although there are a lot of Gu Masters, most of them are low-level. They do not have the upper hand in the repeated confrontations with the ferocious beasts. Instead, they suffer heavy casualties, causing the ferocious beasts to run rampant, further squeezing the living space of mortals. This is still a few days away from Shangjing.

The further away you go, towards the wilderness, the more ferocious beasts there are!

The Great Yan Dynasty was also full of crises.

"Master, I have already put the hot water next door. Should I wait for you to take a bath or just wait for you there?"

Wang Xiu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Changsheng, but the direction of her finger was the bed in the room!
