The hole was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Wang Yao was like an excavator. His speed was frighteningly fast. He took turns to pick and lift. Soon, a big mound appeared on the ground.
"What are you going to dig?" Wang Mingbao wanted to go down to help several times, but he was stopped by Wang Yao.
"I want to see what is down there. It may have something to do with the polluted well water in the village," Wang Yao said.
He could feel that the strange aura around him was getting stronger and stronger.
"Strange, why do I feel a cold wind coming up from this hole?" Wang Mingbao squatted above and asked.
"You feel it too."
"Yes, what is going on?"
"I can't explain it."
"You dig first. I'll go down and get you some water."
Wang Mingbao turned around and walked a few steps. Rumble! The ground under his feet shook.
Not good!
He turned around and saw that half of the mound behind him had collapsed.
"Wang Yao!" He shouted and rushed over. He saw that half of the hole had been filled.
Damn it!
He hurriedly began to dig with his hands.
"Wait here. I'll find someone to save you." He felt that digging like this was definitely not going to work. After all, Wang Yao had dug out several square meters of soil and stones.
He was about to run to the village when he heard a voice coming from the hole behind him.
"Get out of the way!"
Wang Ming Bao was taken aback when he heard that. He quickly left the room and retreated.
"Okay, I'll get out of the way."
With a bang, dust flew into the air as a figure rushed out from the ground and landed on the ground.
Wang Yao jumped out of the hole. There was not a speck of dust on his body.
Wang Mingbao was stunned.
"How did you do that?"
"Luck surrounded the body like wearing armor," Wang Yao said simply.
"Amazing!" Wang Mingbao said with a smile. He was worried about his brother's safety just now.
Rumble! The ground under their feet shook again.
"What's going on?"
Wang Yao walked to the hole that he had just dug. The bottom of the hole had collapsed. A piece of it fell down, revealing a hole.
A cold wind blew.
"What's the situation?"
"I'll go down and have a look."
"Take it easy!"
"I'm fine."
Wang Yao's ability was extraordinary. Things like a landslide like this would not be able to kill him.
He went down the hole and came to the bottom. He looked at the collapsed area and saw a person.
It was a stone sculpture of a guard holding a spear. Behind it was a stone door.
Ancient tomb!
Wang Yao immediately realized what it was. It was an ancient tomb!
"What? Ancient tomb?!"
After hearing the news, Wang Mingbao also took the risk and went down the hole that was nearly five meters deep. Sure enough, he saw the statue and the stone door.
"It's true!"
"What should we do?"
"Call the relevant department. This is a cultural relic."
Wang Yao reported this matter to the old party secretary, and the old party secretary reported it to the town. The action of the county was surprisingly fast. After receiving the news, they arranged for people to come over in the afternoon and reported it to the city.
At night, they were worried that there would be problems, so they left the police to guard the place.
The next day, Wang Yao also received the test report from Shangjun. It was an electronic version.
There were toxins in the water. Chemical toxins and biological toxins existed at the same time. Chemical toxins were easy to explain. They were mainly heavy metals. Biological toxins were not clearly defined. However, they were definitely harmful to the human body and were fatal. They could not rule out the possibility of spread and infection.
Connecting it with the underground tomb discovered the day before, it could be concluded that the toxins in the well water were likely to come from the tomb. As for how the toxins entered and why only one well was contaminated at the beginning, but both wells were contaminated at the same time after the earthquake. This could only be known after the ancient tomb was opened.
The action of Shangjun was also very fast. In the morning, relevant archaeologists came to the mountain village.
The mountain village, which was usually quiet, suddenly became lively.
"They found an ancient tomb!"
"Really? Is the thing inside valuable?"
"It's not yours even if it's valuable. It's all public property."
For a moment, they seemed to have temporarily forgotten the problem of not having water to drink.
Wang Yao continued to follow the recovery of the bodies of the dozen children. They were recovering well. It would be better if they had more nutrition.
"Their bodies are almost recovered. The cause has been found. I'm going to leave," Wang Yao said.
"Go back?"
"Yes, why? Are you still reluctant to leave?"
"I think we may have further development in a few days," Wang Mingbao said.
"You can stay. I'll leave the car for you," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"OK."
In the afternoon, Wang Yao went to see the old principal and the old party secretary. He explained the situation to the two elders.
"Can't you stay for two more days?" the old party secretary urged him to stay.
Through these few days of contact, he found that this young man had a rare shining point. He had saved more than a dozen children, two families, and seven or eight people in the village. These were all free of charge, and he did not ask for a single cent. The key point was that he drove all the way here, so he must have spent a lot of money on the road. Such a person was a "good person", and such actions were "good deeds".
"You can rest assured that the children's illnesses are no longer a big problem. There may be some toxins in the ancient tomb that have seeped into the ground and contaminated the well water. Don't drink the underground water here. Don't feed it to the animals or water the land."
"OK," the old man said.
"Come to my house for dinner that night," the old party secretary said.
"OK."
That night, the old party secretary cooked 10 dishes. Even when his son and daughter came back for Chinese New Year, it was not so grand. It was to express his gratitude to Wang Yao.
The two old men talked a lot and drank a lot of wine.
They were drunk.
The night was uneventful. The next day, Wang Yao packed his things and was ready to leave.
Wang Mingbao drove him to Shangjun, then to Bingzhou. He took a plane back to Haiqu.
When the villagers heard that Wang Yao was ready to leave, many people came to see him off. They also filled his car with local specialties, such as winter dates, millet, and native eggs.
These simple villagers used these things to express their gratitude and love for him.
"I'll come again if I have the chance in the future."
"OK."
"Dr. Wang, come visit when you have time!"
"OK, thank you." Wang Yao smiled.
"Let's go!"
The car had not gone far when they heard shouting from behind.
"Oh no, someone died on the mountain!"
"Stop the car!"
With a squeak, the car stopped.
"It looks like we can't leave."
Someone really died.
The person who died was an archaeologist. He died of poisoning.
When the stone door was opened a crack, pitch-black venom shot out from inside and sprayed directly on his face. He screamed a few times, struggled, and fell. Then he died.
At the same time, two people next to him were poisoned and injured. They fell to the ground and fainted.
Wang Yao checked.
It was very dangerous because the venom was very strong.
"Prepare hot water."
He didn't even have time to boil it. He melted two leaves of the antidote grass and gave it to the poisoned people.
There was a unique fishy smell in the air near the ancient tomb.
"Don't crowd around here. Stay away from the ancient tomb," Wang Yao said.
After hearing that, the villagers all scattered.
"Well, doctor, how are they?" The person in charge of the ancient tomb excavation was a little dumbfounded.
It was just a small attempt. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"That one is confirmed to be dead. As for the other two, it's hard to say," Wang Yao said.
They were also seriously injured. Their faces were corroded and soon festered. It could be seen that it was a highly corrosive venom. Even if they could survive, they would be disfigured.
"Ah!" The man sighed after hearing that.
The car from the county hospital came nearly two hours later. The accompanying medical staff was stunned when they saw the condition of the patients.
Had their faces been splashed with sulfuric acid?
It was not over. Soon, some of the nearby helpers began to vomit and have diarrhea. They were all people hired by the excavation team from the local villages.
The old party secretary went to find Wang Yao immediately. At this time, Wang Yao had used up all the antidote grass.
Without the antidote, the effect of neixi treatment in such a situation would be poor.
"I need some Chinese herbs."
Licorice, perilla leaves, saltpetre, black fern, grassy river wheel, Squamoderma squamoderma …
Among the herbs Wang Yao needed, only licorice was with him. He had to buy the rest.
"Where's the nearest pharmacy?"
"It's in town. I'll ask someone to take you there."
"Okay."
After buying the herbs, the next step was to decoct them.
One by one, the herbs were added into the clay pot and slowly decocted.
The quality of the herbs was much worse. After the decoction was finished, he took them out and cooled them for a while before distributing them to the poisoned people. Without the antidote grass, the treatment effect of the herbs was definitely worse.
Before the medicine was finished, the ambulance from the hospital arrived.
"What's wrong with your village?"
Their county hospital had recently received seven or eight patients from this village who had been poisoned. Now, a few more had collapsed.
"Poisoning."
As long as nothing else happened, it would be fine.
Something else had happened, but it was not in the village. It happened in the hospital in Jia county.
Recently, several nurses in the internal medicine department suddenly had diarrhea and vomiting. It was suspected that they were infected by the new patients.
"Four more came today."
"What symptoms?"
"Vomiting and diarrhea. One of them is in a coma."
"F * ck, could it be that there's an outbreak of an epidemic?"
The doctors in these departments were also on tenterhooks. After all, they were also human. They could catch a cold and have diarrhea. In a considerable number of cases, the more they knew, the more scared they would be.
"Dr. Wang, do you think it's an infectious disease?" The old party secretary also had the same concern.
"It's possible," Wang Yao said.
It could be the spread and infection of some kind of biological poison.
"Then what should we do?"
"Use lime water and sprinkle it in the village. Focus on the ancient tomb."
The people in the cultural relics unit acted faster. They seemed to have encountered a similar situation. In the shortest time, they sterilized the area near the ancient tomb and set up an isolation zone.
After the successive incidents, the whole village was in a panic.
