Chapter 149 Parasite
"I was wrongly accused! I didn't kill anyone, not Feng Dalang!"
Nanxi was tied to the stake in Zhongtu Village, which was used to punish criminals, with a burning fire under his feet.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to make her grievances heard.
However, the onlookers all had indifferent expressions.
No one cared whether she was wrongly accused.
Just when she fell into despair and was about to accept her fate, Yun Fu appeared on a white horse.
Seeing that the flames were about to burn Nanxi, Yun Fu rushed over to save her without thinking.
Qi Hanzhou only realized that Yun Fu had rushed into the sea of fire when he heard the discussions among the people around him.
"Who is that woman? She's desperate! Why is she rushing into the fire?"
"He must be a madman!"
After all, who in their right mind would rush into a burning fire?
"Yun Fu! Yun Fu! Come back to me!" Qi Hanzhou was almost going crazy, extremely anxious.
He couldn't see and couldn't judge the extent of the danger at the moment.
Fortunately, Yun Fu quickly rescued people and took Nanxi out of the sea of fire.
"Qi Hanzhou, why did you call me just now? Is there something wrong?"
Yun Fu was sure that Nanxi was fine except for being a little frightened, so she raised her little face to talk to Qi Hanzhou.
"Are you okay? Did anyone get burned?"
Qi Hanzhou quickly stepped forward and touched her to confirm her condition.
From cheeks to neck, and then to arms.
Wherever those slender fingers went, it was like lighting a fire.
Yun Fu licked her dry lips. Her body wasn't this hot even when she rushed into the fire.
The point is, she didn't hate his touch at all.
In the past, if someone deliberately reached out and touched her face, Yun Fu would probably break that person's arm immediately.
Coming back to her senses, a blush appeared on Yun Fu's face. She pretended to be calm and pushed the person away, but in fact, her heart had already lost control and her rhythm was disrupted.
"Qi Hanzhou, I'm fine."
Yun Fu took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing slightly, and changed the subject: "Nanxi, tell me, what exactly happened? Aren't you married? How did you become the murderer?"
Nanxi also recovered and recounted what had happened in a halting manner.
Last night, when the groom Feng Dalang returned to his room, he was already drunk.
She wiped his face and went to bed with her clothes on.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, the person next to me was no longer breathing.
The Feng family insisted that she was the one who killed Feng Dalang, and then she was tied to the stake.
According to the rules of Zhongtu Village, anyone who kills someone will be burned at the stake.
And since she married Feng Dalang yesterday, she is now considered a member of Zhongtu Village.
But the Feng family has a different opinion on this.
"You vicious woman are full of lies. You didn't want to marry Dalang at all. You despised him for being a fool, so you killed him."
"I don't want to marry him, but I can't kill him either."
Yun Fu probably understood that the Feng family insisted that Nanxi had committed murder only because she had a motive. There was no evidence to prove that Nanxi had committed murder.
That's easy.
Yun Fu looked at the middle-aged man in the lead and guessed that he should be the leader of Zhongtu Village.
"If she really is the murderer, it's fine. But what if she isn't? Wouldn't your son die with regrets? I heard that the souls of those who died unjustly cannot rest in peace, and it is difficult for them to be reborn as humans."
When Feng Li heard her say this, his attitude softened a little.
"If it's not her, then who else could it be?"
Yun Fu said, "How about this, let me take a look at your son's body, and I'll investigate this matter for you."
"You? Where did you come from, little girl? Why should I believe that you will help us for no reason."
Only then did Feng Li realize that both Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou were unfamiliar faces.
He shouldn't be from the eighth-tier district.
Yun Fu just wanted to find out the truth and save Nanxi's life. After hearing what he said, she felt that it would be inappropriate for her not to make some demands.
"Of course I won't help you for nothing. I have a request, but don't worry. Wait until I finish my investigation before asking."
Feng Dalang died suddenly, and the Feng family was still busy making a coffin, so the body was temporarily placed at home.
The person died not long ago and the body is still fresh, so it's not that bad.
Yun Fu had no taboos about living or dead people, so she went over and began to perform a preliminary autopsy, which was to observe the surface of the corpse.
As he looked at her, his brows furrowed more and more.
There were no external injuries on Feng Dalang's body, so the Feng family suspected that he was poisoned to death by Nanxi.
But Yunfu checked around and didn't find any signs of poisoning.
But Feng Dalang has a father who is the village chief. Logically, he shouldn't have such sallow skin and thin cheeks as he does now!
Yun Fu thought that in this situation, the most likely person was suffering from some disease. His body was already on the verge of collapse, and he was forced to drink alcohol yesterday, which was why he passed away.
"Did Feng Dalang suffer from any illness before he died?"
As if she could see the Feng family's hesitation, Yun Fu immediately said, "I'm a doctor. I can tell if someone is sick or not at a glance. You can't fool me."
Feng Li finally replied, "Nothing serious. He just caught a cold a while ago. I've already given him some medicine."
"Are you sure he caught a cold?" Yun Fu felt that it was unlikely. Judging from Feng Dalang's slightly bulging abdomen, it looked like another disease.
"He had a headache, probably in the forehead or maybe the back of his head, with symptoms like a pricking sensation. A few days later, he developed abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and drowsiness."
"Yes, yes, how did you know?" Feng Li nodded in surprise.
"Because I'm a doctor." After confirming these symptoms, Yun Fu finally came to a conclusion: "What Feng Dalang is suffering from is not a cold at all, but a parasitic disease."
"What is a parasite?" Qi Hanzhou listened carefully and asked the question immediately.
"When insects enter the human body from the outside and survive, they coexist with the human body. This symbiotic model is called parasitism."
Qi Hanzhou was indeed a good student of the Royal Academy, and he quickly understood what kind of illness Yun Fu was talking about.
"You must be talking about the worm disease recorded in the book."
Yun Fu hummed, "That's pretty much the same idea. You can simply understand it as, there were a lot of bugs in his body, and it was the presence of those bugs that caused his death. It had nothing to do with Nanxi."
The Feng family's attitude is still half-believing and half-doubting.
"Just because you say it is, does that mean it must be true? You're so young, even if you know some medical skills, how good can they be? You know this vicious woman, maybe you deliberately made up these lies to exonerate her."
Yun Fu's expression was indifferent, her watery eyes sweeping over the people in Zhongtu Village, led by Feng Li. "There are two ways to prove the truth of my words. One is to cut open Feng Dalang's stomach and take out the worms. The second is to wait a little longer, until you are all infected with the parasites and lie here with Feng Dalang. Then it won't be too late to confirm the truth of what I said."
