Chapter 189 Nonsense
Qin Yi then glanced at Su Tong and said, "Let's go to Bao Gen to find out more. Since the fountain pen appeared on the altar, it must be related to Bao Gen. Jing Mei is also a breakthrough point."
Su Tong had exactly the same idea, and nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
"Again, don't alert the enemy. No matter what the results of today's investigation are, you must set off on time as planned tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Several people took the order and left.
When Su Tong and Qin Yi went out, they met Li Song and Rao Jiancheng who had returned from exploring the route.
They mainly followed the hunters in the village to recognize some trap marks and the marks left by old hunters in the woods.
People living in the mountains make their living by hunting. There are many traps of different sizes set in the forest. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, some marks are also universal. A knife mark or a piece of shaved bark can save lives at a critical moment.
If you want to go into the mountains, you must communicate with the local old hunters. This is a necessary and essential step.
The two of them went out early in the morning and wandered around in the mountains for a long time. They looked tired at this time. After saying hello, Qin Yi asked them to rest first.
When they arrived at Baogen's residence, Chen Yunfeng was already inside, putting a thermometer under Baogen's armpit. The people accompanying him in the room were replaced by Shanzhu and the young man.
Seeing Qin Yi and Su Tong coming over, Chen Yunfeng motioned them to wait outside.
When he came out, he said anxiously, "Baogen's condition cannot continue like this. He must have a fever again. The medicine we have can't suppress it at all."
Su Tong sighed, "We have to send him out as soon as possible. If we delay for a few more days, he will be too late to be saved."
Chen Yunfeng was stunned, then asked:
"Sister Lan, can you determine the cause of the disease?"
Su Tong nodded and said, "I was suspicious at first, but after hearing the news from Cheng Gang and the others, I can confirm it. Baogen should have brain cysticercosis. To put it simply, Baogen and Sanniu ate undercooked wild boar meat, and the parasites on the wild boar parasitized their brains. The vomiting, fever, and hallucinations are all consistent with the characteristics of the course of cysticercosis."
"Cysticercosis? Isn't this similar to the large-scale schistosomiasis in the 1950s..."
After all, Chen Yunfeng is young and has been in the army since he started working, so he has not had the opportunity to come into contact with more cases.
"They are all parasites, but they parasitize different parts. Most of the parasites in the brain are pork tapeworms, and schistosomiasis mostly parasitizes the portal vein system of the liver. A very small number of them may parasitize the brain, so the symptom is mostly a bloated belly. But Wushanao does not have a rich water system, so there will be no schistosomiasis."
Chen Yunfeng was very interested in what he heard. Just as he was about to ask further questions, he heard another commotion in the room.
"Ah-ah-go away! Go away!"
"Don't look for me! Don't look for me!"
"Hold him! Hold him down!"
“…”
Baogen is sick again.
Su Tong and others stopped talking and went in to help.
There was no need to look at the thermometer. Baogen obviously had a high fever again. His eyes were red, and he was struggling hard. His face was full of fear, and he kept shouting "go away" and other words like before.
Shanzhu was trying hard to control Baogen's hands and feet, while anxiously calling another young man to get something to cover Baogen's mouth.
Su Tong's heart moved and he turned to look at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded slightly at her, then stepped forward to help control Baogen's hands and feet, allowing the young man to successfully block Baogen's mouth. Only then did Shanzhu breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Tong said: "Bao Gen's situation cannot be delayed any longer. You must make a decision as soon as possible. If you don't send it out, we can't help you."
Shanzhu wiped the sweat off his head and looked at Baogen who was about to faint again and said, "Can he hold on until he is sent out in this condition?"
"If there is a glimmer of hope, we should fight for it, or should we just watch him..."
Shan Zhu finally stamped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll go find Uncle Ge and ask him to make a decision as soon as possible!" Then he turned to look at the young man with a serious tone:
"Pingzi, you guard Baogen and don't make any mistakes."
Seeing that the young man agreed, she looked at him deeply before turning around and running out.
Su Tong then said to the young man named Pingzi:
"We need to find a way to reduce Baogen's fever. Please go get some hot water. I need more."
Pingzi scratched his head, as if he was still thinking about Shanzhu's words, hesitating and unwilling to leave.
Qin Yi added with a unhappy look:
"Hurry up! How can we save people if the fire is not put out?"
Qin Yi doesn't speak easily, but when he does, his words are very intimidating. Pingzi shrank his neck and then quickly ran to get some boiling water.
As soon as he left, Qin Yi told Chen Yunfeng, "Go and guard the door. If someone comes, give the alarm in time."
Chen Yunfeng nodded and closed the door when he went out.
Qin Yi then said to Su Tong: "Do you want to start with Baogen?"
Su Tong nodded. She just suddenly had a thought. Shanzhu always covered Baogen's mouth first, perhaps because he didn't want them to hear more, even just a few words.
In any case, the information currently obtained from the unconscious Baogen should be the most real and easiest.
Su Tong did not delay any longer and said to Qin Yi:
"Press him a little, it will only take a few minutes."
Then, she took out a few silver needles from the needle bag on her wrist and quickly inserted them into several acupoints on Bao Gen's head. Bao Gen's struggles gradually subsided, and Su Tong pulled out the cotton cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
Baogen was just having hallucinations due to a high fever, not convulsions, so he wouldn't bite his tongue. Shangen blocked his mouth just to stop him from speaking.
Sure enough, after the cotton cloth was removed, Baogen started talking nonsense again, but because of the silver needles pricking him, the strength and amplitude of his struggles were much smaller, as if he was restrained.
"Go away! Go away! I won't go with you!"
"Grandpa—help me! Help me!"
These few sentences are repeated over and over again, and I can't hear any useful information.
Su Tong thought about it and asked directly: "Baogen, whose pen is it?"
Bao Gen was delirious from the fever. His eyes, which were already unfocused, were blank for a moment, and then he suddenly started shouting.
"Take it! Take the pen!"
"I give it back to you! I don't want it anymore! I give it back to you!"
"Don't take me away—"
Su Tong asked, "Who are you giving it back to? Who wants to take you away!"
Baogen struggled and said, "Go away! You stinky bitch! Go away——"
"Grandpa! Save me—save me—"
Su Tong and Qin Yi looked at each other. Qin Yi bent down slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Baogen, have you met Yu Fengzhi?"
Baogen was stunned for a moment and even stopped struggling.
The two of them stared at Baogen closely...
