Chapter 340 Hu Ying Returns
During the period of self-isolation between Li Yu'e and Wen Xu, several more people in the gang appeared who had lost their minds just like them.
Fortunately, everyone had prepared themselves mentally in advance, and when they saw something was wrong they immediately called neighbors for help, so no casualties were caused.
On the other hand, Xia Xiaoman did not continue to collect red worms. She believed that Li Yu'e's loss of mind was most likely caused by eating red worm powder. She did not plan to collect red worms until she was completely sure that these red worms were harmless.
"Xiao Man! Xiao Man!"
Hearing someone calling her, Xia Xiaoman walked out of the yard to take a look. Suddenly, a snowball hit her feet. Xia Xiaoman turned her head to look at the wall, and Chen Peiqiong was lying on the wall waving at her.
"Xiao Man, come here, I have something to tell you, very good news!"
Xia Xiaoman walked over with a puzzled look on her face, "What good news?"
Chen Peiqiong picked up a red worm attached to the snow and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why the trading point charges a high price for these red worms?"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
Chen Peiqiong chuckled and lowered her voice, "Because these red worms have the effect of replenishing blood and qi, just like ginseng. No, the effect is better than ginseng."
"How do you know all this?" Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised. Even Xie Yi was not very clear about the effects of red worms, which meant that the official did not want too many people to know about the effects of red worms. How did Chen Peiqiong know about it?
Chen Peiqiong said, "My former colleague in the planting area told me. You have also met that colleague. He is Uncle Fei whom you met when you first came to the garrison."
Xia Xiaoman said, "It's the old man who cheated me out of a bag of cookies. Where did he get the information from?"
"He said he heard about it from Yunhai City."
"Yunhai City? Do many people there know about the benefits of red worms?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Chen Peiqiong nodded, "Uncle Fei said that everyone in Yunhai City knows the benefits of red worms, but we in Fucheng keep it secret and don't know how to share it with the public."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Sister Pei, can you please ask your colleague to find out if there are many fights in Yunhai City recently?" After saying that, she thought of something and added, "Also, please help find out about rape or pornography."
Chen Peiqiong looked puzzled, "Why are you asking about this for no reason?"
"I have a few friends who often ate bloodworm powder some time ago. In the past two days, one of them suddenly went crazy and lost his mind, and the other one inexplicably became beastly. Also, I was attacked by a pervert when I went home one time."
Xia Xiaoman frowned and said, "I suspect these people have lost their minds because they ate the red worm powder."
Chen Peiqiong was a little shocked. "No way! If there is something wrong with the bloodworm powder, then the Yunhai City government should stop their citizens from eating bloodworms!"
"Maybe the authorities don't know there's something wrong with bloodworms." Xia Xiaoman looked at Chen Peiqiong, "Anyway, don't try to eat bloodworms yet. Wait until you find out if there's anything wrong with them."
"I was wondering how God could be so good to us. Red worms can replenish blood and qi." Chen Peiqiong sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go find Uncle Fei later and ask him to help me find out some news about Yunhai City."
The Yunhai City garrison is not far from the Fucheng garrison. Although the roads are difficult to travel due to the snow at night, there has always been contact between the two garrisons, and the survivors on both sides often visit each other.
Chen Peiqiong asked Uncle Fei to help inquire about the situation in Yunhai City, and received a reply the next day.
Recently, not only Yunhai City, but also Fucheng has seen frequent fights, rapes, and pornographic transactions. Compared to Yunhai City, Fucheng has relatively fewer fights.
Since the natural disaster, fights and brawls have never stopped, so even if fights and brawls happen frequently now, not many people pay attention to them. If Xia Xiaoman hadn't seen Li Yu'e and Wen Xu out of control, she wouldn't have paid attention to them.
Chen Peiqiong patted her chest with lingering fear, "Fortunately you reminded me that there was something wrong with the red worms, otherwise I would have become a madman without reason."
She was in a very poor health and knew that red worms could replenish blood and qi, so she planned to catch some, dry them, grind them into powder and drink them with water. Fortunately, she went to find Xia Xiaoman and was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Xia Xiaoman's face was heavy. "Sister Pei, try not to go out during this period of time, so as not to meet a lunatic."
The news that red worms can replenish blood and qi has probably spread throughout Fucheng. If everyone in the garrison eats red worms, then the people they meet when they go out will either be lunatics or perverts. It's better to stay at home and wait for Hu Ying to come back.
…
After eight days of eager anticipation, Hu Yingcai finally returned under the escort of the capital's military.
Xiao Zheyu and others hurriedly sent Li Yu'e and Wen Xu to the clinic to queue up for medical treatment, and Xia Xiaoman followed them.
When it was Li Yu'e's turn, Xia Xiaoman followed behind and subconsciously took a look at the prescription for bird flu treatment posted on the wall. The original prescription that combined Chinese and Western medicine only had Chinese medicine left, and the names of Western medicines had all been torn off.
Disciple Hu Ying was quite quick to destroy the evidence. But now that the skuas haven't appeared for a long time and the bird flu has been brought under control, it doesn't matter if the prescription is torn off.
"Take the list and go to the acupuncture room for acupuncture."
Hearing Hu Ying's voice, Xia Xiaoman came back to her senses, "Doctor Hu, why did my friend suddenly lose his mind? Is it because of the red worms he ate?"
Hu Ying glanced at Xia Xiaoman, and because of their previous friendship, she said, "I'll tell you in detail later. There are patients waiting for their pulses to be checked. You should go to the acupuncture room for acupuncture first!"
"Okay, then we won't disturb you for now." With that, Xia Xiaoman and Li Yu'e went to the acupuncture room.
There were many people lying in the acupuncture room, and the doctor asked Li Yu'e and Wen Xu to find a place to lie down first. After a while, the doctor came over and gave them acupuncture, two of which were plum blossom needles, and let a little blood out of them.
Xia Xiaoman saw that the blood was dark red, as if it was poisoned.
After the bloodletting, Li Yu'e and Wen Xu looked much calmer and fell asleep soon. They didn't even wake up when the doctor changed the needle.
Xiao Zheyu whispered, "Sister Yu'e and A Xu haven't slept much during this period. They are like they took stimulants and are full of energy every day."
"Haven't you been drinking water to detoxify? Why is there no effect?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Xiao Zheyu said: "It works, but the effect is not very obvious. After drinking more water, they can control themselves and not lose their temper."
"What about you? Have you eaten bloodworms? Do you want to line up and let Dr. Hu take a look at you?"
Xiao Zheyu shook his head, "No, Su Ran and I don't eat bloodworms."
Although he and Su Ran became the gang's small bosses, they still couldn't overcome their fear of insects. On the surface, they could still pretend to ignore the insects, but they would rather die than eat them.
Luo Menglin said that he and Su Ran had been seriously injured before, and eating these insects could help them recover. He agreed with Su Ran, and then threw the red worm powder into a corner. As a result, he and Su Ran escaped a disaster.
