Chapter 78 - Crisis emerges
For the past two days, Xia Chu has been busy dispensing medicine for the raven.
Because the poison of the Soul Devouring Pill broke out in the middle of the month, this time was the best time to find a way to refine the medicine.
He tried various combinations of medicinal herbs, and managed to refine an antidote comparable to the one he had taken before.
After Xia Chu watched the raven eat it, he comforted: “After all, I just started trying it in the first month, and it will be completely detoxified in the future.”
Raven nodded calmly.
He just finished meditating.
After pushing the medicinal power, the infuriating qi in the body gradually calmed down.
In my heart, I already thought that Xia Chu might have a way to get rid of the poison of Soul Devouring Pill.
Because this month, it was the first time since Raven was five years old that there was no poison in the moon.
Before that, even Xia Chu repeatedly emphasized to him that he could detoxify him.
In his subconscious, he still couldn’t believe it.
After all, there is no antidote for Soul Devouring Pill.
“After seven days, your martial arts should be back to normal.”
Raven’s eyes lit up.
“Han Yang is no better than the capital. There are some medicinal herbs in the antidote that I can only use other things to replace. After I finish the business here, the medicine I prepare after returning to Beijing should be more effective.”
Raven nodded.
Xia Chu took Raven to the kitchen to cook dinner as usual, Raven followed Xia Chu to Yan Jianghong’s tent with a food box.
The other injuries on Yan Jianghong’s body have already healed, only that leg is still hanging there.
After all, if the muscles and bones are injured, it will take a while.
The four of us still sat for a meal.
“These soldiers don’t know if it’s because of the warm weather, and they’ve become slack. After training for the past two days, I always feel that they are a little lazy.” Deng Qizhong said with emotion.
It’s already March 14th now, and it’s almost the beginning of summer. The weather is getting warmer day by day, with the comfort of the late spring and summer solstice, this season is indeed easy to slack off.
“Have you increased the amount?” Xia Chu asked.
“No, it’s all practiced as before.” Deng Qizhong replied.
“Don’t talk about the soldiers below. I recently looked at other captains, Chief Qu, and Ministers, and they were all weak. When I asked them, they said they didn’t do anything, and I felt exhausted.” Shan Xiangpeng continued.
“Exhausted?” Xia Chu suddenly stood up.
“What’s wrong?” Deng Qizhong asked.
“Remember what I told you about the strange things Raven and I encountered in Hanyang City?” Xia Chu felt a deep crisis in his heart.
“What’s the relationship between the two?” Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong were both confused.
“I hope not, I’ll go take a look.” Xia Chu finished speaking and left the tent, and the raven followed him.
Leaving Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong to look at each other in dismay, Yan Jianghong was still holding a bowl and swaying his legs, at a loss.
Xia Chu walked all the way to the gathering tent where the soldiers lived.
The soldiers at the bottom lived in all the bunks, and ten people crowded into a tent.
When Xia Chu went in, they found them lying there crookedly.
Someone inside saw Xia Chu coming and called out, “Doctor Yi.”
“Are you not feeling well? Why didn’t you come to me?” Xia Chu took a pulse and asked.
“I’m not uncomfortable, I’m just tired, so I didn’t bother you.” The soldier replied weakly.
Xia Chu finished her pulse diagnosis, her face was solemn.
He asked with a solemn face, “What have you been eating lately?”
“It’s the same as before, there’s no difference.” Xiaobing saw Xia Chu’s face was wrong, and he asked with a sigh: “Doctor Yi, are we sick?”
“No. You guys have a good rest first, and temporarily stop training tomorrow. I’ll go to Coach Gu.” Xia Chu finished speaking and got up to leave the tent. When he walked to the door, he turned around and smiled at them, and said with a relaxed expression, “You promise. It’s because you ate something unclean, lie down at ease, and take a vacation.”
After the soldiers heard him say this, the tense atmosphere just now calmed down, and they all laughed and said, “Doctor Yi, walk slowly.”
When Xia Chu left the tent, his face immediately turned cold.
“Is the pulse wrong?” Raven asked.
“Like in the city, this is probably going to be a lot of trouble.”
At the beginning of Xia, he was afraid that something would happen at this season, he was too sensitive to this season.
Xia Chu walked quickly to the headmaster Gu’s tent and saw that he was discussing matters with several colleagues. Then he bowed to a few people next to him and said, “I’m in a hurry to find Director Gu, please make it easy for you.”
When those people saw Gu Weiyi nod, they all said goodbye and left.
Gu Weiyi was shocked when he saw Xia Chu’s solemn face.
In the more than a month since Xia Chu entered the camp, Gu Weiyi has only seen him face him once, that is when he beat Guo Weidong in the martial arts field.
Other times, it’s all light.
Now, when he saw Xia Chu’s solemn face again, he intuited that something big would happen.
He asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”
“Are you feeling unwell?” Xia Chu asked.
“No.”
“Do you feel tired and powerless?” Xia Chu asked.
“Neither.”
Xia Chu thought about it for a while, and then asked: “Can you find out that the soldiers in the two Japanese army are not physically strong?”
“They are really lazy.” Gu Weiyi nodded.
“It’s not just them. I heard Xiangpeng say that some school captains, Qu Chang and Bu Chang are also lethargic.”
“They’re okay, just a little bit worse than usual.”
When Xia Chu heard Gu Weiyi’s words, his expression became even more solemn. He said to him, “Maybe because you are the head coach, they managed to hold on in front of you, but even so, you can still feel that they are different than usual. Haven’t you realized the seriousness of the matter?”
After Gu Weiyi listened to his words carefully, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his heart.
“Yi, Doctor Yi… You wouldn’t think they were poisoned…” Gu Weiyi was a little stumped.
“no.”
Gu Weiyi heard that he was not poisoned, and his dangling heart fell.
“Worse than poisoning.”
Gu Weiyi stood up and said to Xia Chu, “What?”
“If it’s just poison, I can still solve it. But they are not poisoned. I have to find out the specific reason. You can suspend their practice tomorrow, and wait for me to find out the reason first.”
“So many people, stop practicing?” Gu Weiyi opened his mouth wide.
“Are you responsible for the accident?” Gu Weiyi stopped talking.
“Stop training. You can report to General Zhao truthfully.”
“I’ll go right now.” Gu Weiyi was about to pay the bill after he finished speaking.
“Wait, send someone to the city first to see if the situation in the city is the same as in the army…”
This time, Gu Weiyi is completely stupid, what is the situation in the city, is it the same as in the army?
Xia Chu gave him a meaningful look and said, “I hope it’s different.”
Gu Weiyi looked at Xia Chu’s sad face, and called out in a panic, “Doctor Yi…”
“Nothing, I have everything. The investigation must be carried out secretly in the military and the city. You will find a reason to give the soldiers a holiday tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Gu Weiyi stood in a military posture inexplicably when he heard the words and replied, he calmed down a bit, turned around, and started to do it.
