N-M 100. Poisoning
100. Poisoning
In the early morning, Chenjiacun wakes up from the bright sky.
Chickens crowed, dogs barked, and frogs rang loudly in the rice fields.
Because of all the troubles last night, Chen Daqiang went to bed a little late, so he got up later than usual.
The daughter-in-law is still in the field for medical treatment, and the two children, one big and one small, both study and go to school in other places, and their parents passed away one after another a few years ago.
Apart from Chen Daqiang, there was no one else in the house, and it seemed quite deserted.
He yawned continuously, covered his forehead, and first walked to the small pool in the corner of the courtyard under the eaves, ready to fetch water for a wash.
With a bang, after the rusty faucet was turned on, a jet of water poured straight down into the small square cement pool.
Chen Daqiang fetched a towel and a toothbrush cup, first threw the towel into the sink, then picked up the cup, and took half a cup of water under the faucet.
With some toothpaste squeezed on the toothbrush, he picked up the water glass and brought it to his mouth to take a sip to moisten his mouth.
A faint smell of pesticides pierced his nostrils.
Chen Daqiang's movements froze and he frowned slightly.
There seems to be something wrong with the tap water today... He raised the water glass to his eyes and looked at it, but he didn't see anything wrong.
However, the faint smell of pesticides still wafted faintly, which made people feel a little nauseous.
Chen Daqiang shook his head, poured out the water, and planned to drink another cup.
The next moment, the gate of the courtyard was hurriedly slammed, Chen Daqiang's face turned dark, he could only put down his toothbrush and water cup, and rushed to open the door.
"Daqiang, Daqiang is not good, many people in the village have been poisoned!"
Standing outside the door was Chen Laohai, who probably had just returned from cutting pigweed in the field, with a bamboo basket on his back.
Even in the cool morning, Chen Laohai was sweating profusely and his mouth was extremely dry.
"Poisoned, why did you get poisoned?!"
Chen Daqiang was stunned for a moment, and then became impatient. He quickly pulled up the heels of his shoes, and followed Chen Laohai and ran out the door in a panic.
When the two rushed to the pergola under the big locust tree in the middle of the village, there were already several members of the construction team lying beside the table.
Their faces were pale and they were dripping with cold sweat.
Not only the members of the construction team, but after a while, many villagers ran out in a hurry, asking Chen Daqiang to find a way to save their lives.
There was a large-scale poisoning incident in the village, and Chen Daqiang was a little panicked.
I hurried to the health center to have a look, the gate of Temiao was closed!
It's still early at this moment, Lao Song and Sister Tao haven't come to work yet.
"What the hell is going on, why are so many people poisoned all of a sudden!"
Looking at the anxious villagers, Chen Daqiang was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Brother Biao, the leader of the construction team, was also caught, lying under a tree and humming.
At this time, his face was blue, his lips were swollen, and it took him a long time to spit out a sentence: "Water, there is a problem with the tap water..."
"We, we don't know what's going on, they ate a few bowls of porridge, and it's like this."
Several old women who were in charge of cooking for the construction team were also frightened, pointing to the simple stove under the awning, stammering.
Chen Daqiang ran over, untied the lid of the pot, scooped some white porridge with a spoon, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it.
Sure enough, he smelled the faint smell of pesticides again.
"It seems to be... the smell of paraquat."
Chen Laohai also came over. He got up early, didn't bother to brush his teeth and wash his face, so he went directly to the field to cut pigweed.
When he came back, he saw from a distance the members of the construction team recruited under the big pagoda tree, and then rushed to find Chen Daqiang.
"Damn it, who is so wicked, throwing paraquat into the tap water!"
Chen Daqiang's face was livid with anger, and his first reaction was to report the crime.
But then a thought appeared in his mind, which scared him to death, sending chills down his spine.
You know, the water pipes extend in all directions.
If someone really mixed paraquat into tap water, and it flowed into thousands of households through pipes...
The scope of poisoning is probably not limited to Chenjiacun!
"Water valve, hurry up and turn off the main water valve at the head of the village!"
Chen Daqiang's face turned pale, he turned his head and roared angrily, and then tremblingly took out his cell phone.
After a while, Chen Daqiang was shocked, and the mobile phone in his hand almost slipped and fell to the ground.
Not only in Chenjiacun, but also in the surrounding Wangjiacun, Xiejiagou, and Liujiazhuang farther away, people were found to be poisoned!
Chen Youcai was awakened by the rapid ringtone of the mobile phone.
Last night, I took the risk to meet Cao Kun. After he walked out of the villa area, the eastern sky was already pale.
After finally catching a passing taxi, I found a cheap express hotel in the urban area and opened a single room.
Chen Youcai lay on the bed and slept till now.
"Uncle Daqiang?"
After answering the phone, Chen Youcai was slightly surprised. Before he could speak again, Chen Daqiang's fiery and loud voice came over.
"If you are talented, come back quickly. The tap water in our village has been sprayed with paraquat, and many people have been poisoned!"
Boom, boom!
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, slamming down on the head, and immediately made Chen Youcai freeze on the spot.
After his mind went blank for a while, he was awakened by Chen Daqiang's "Hello, hello".
"Take the person to the hospital first, and I'll be right back!"
After saying something hastily, Chen Youcai hung up the phone, quickly put on his shoes, and then went straight to the door of the hotel, not even bothering to return the deposit.
After stopping a taxi and explaining the whereabouts to the master, Chen Youcai gritted his teeth and paid 800 yuan, and chartered a car directly back to Chenjiacun!
Cao Kun, it must be another good thing Cao Kun did!
Sitting anxiously in the back of the taxi, Chen Youcai gritted his teeth when Cao Kun's hideous face appeared in front of his eyes.
He called Lao Song and sister Tao one after another, wanting to find out about the situation.
Unexpectedly, the other party had just arrived in Chenjia Village, and was also at a loss and helpless.
When Chen Youcai hurried to the village, he saw rows of figures lying under the big locust tree in the center of the village from a distance.
"Cao Kun, you're fucking dead!"
Chen Youcai's eyes were bloodshot, and he almost fell to the ground under the urgency.
After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and rushed over after roaring in his heart.
Lao Song and Sister Tao, both in white coats, were surrounded by villagers, begging them for help.
Old Song was sweating profusely, and Sister Tao was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
However, in addition to giving those poisoned villagers vomiting and gastric lavage with soapy water, and then taking some vitamin tablets to fight the poison.
All he could do was wait for the city hospital to send an ambulance car to pull him over.
"..."
Seeing the poisoned villagers all over the ground, some of them convulsed and rolled in pain, Chen Youcai was furious, feeling both sad and angry.
"You are talented. They all said that he was poisoned by paraquat. The medicine is so powerful that ordinary hospitals can't cure him. He has to be taken to the city hospital!"
Lao Song wiped the sweat from his brow, and said helplessly to Chen Youcai.
Chen Youcai had blue veins on his forehead, and his cheeks kept agitating.
He has never wished to die alone like he is now.
If possible, he really wanted to rush to Cao Kun's house immediately and strangle this bastard to death!
Just when Chen Youcai was furious.
The next moment, a red light appeared in the field of vision, and rows of familiar small cinnabar characters appeared out of thin air.
"Mertiful task: treat poisoned villagers, you can get 30 points of merit and 4 points of goodness. Do you want to spend 10 points of merit to exchange for corresponding props?"
