Mu Fengqie understood. Injured patients had low resistance and were most prone to infections. It was just that there were no other symptoms...
"I see. We must disinfect the entire barracks thoroughly in the next few days. If there's enough alcohol, use it for disinfection." Without modern 84 disinfectant, strong liquor could be used as a substitute.
"Yes, I understand, sir." Now that the Valley Master was here, he felt confident and reassured.
"Ache, I need to talk to you about something." As soon as Mu Fengqie lifted the curtain of the tent, she saw Jing Xunce taking off his clothes. She quickly turned around.
This shameless scoundrel! Why was he taking off his clothes in broad daylight? And he didn't even have someone stand guard. What if some other woman saw him? Didn't he have any sense?
Jing Xunce immediately put his clothes back on when he sensed someone coming. But when he saw it was Qie'er, he took them off again.
"Qie'er, there are no other women in my barracks. You're the only one. And we're already husband and wife. What haven't we seen before?" Jing Xunce teased.
"You're the one being a hooligan and shameless. Don't blame others!" Mu Fengqie's eyes twitched slightly. Jing Xunce was becoming more and more shameless.
Jing Xunce had no intention of avoiding her. He just casually started changing his clothes right in front of Mu Fengqie.
"Qie'er, what did you say when you first came in?" Jing Xunce asked as he finished dressing and looked at Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie didn't turn around until she heard no more movement behind her. Seeing that Jing Xunce was dressed, she let out a sigh of relief. "Right, I was just about to tell you. On my way here, I met the grain - transporting team. But there was a problem with the grain. I had it detained, and now we're collecting it again."
Mu Fengqie told Jing Xunce everything about the grain and forage. After hearing this, Jing Xunce's face turned ashen. He didn't expect these scoundrels to be so impatient.
"Thank you, Qie'er. If it weren't for you this time, I might not have been able to go back." Jing Xunce hugged Mu Fengqie and said.
"Come on, stop being so emotional. Let's talk about this epidemic. I feel that this epidemic might have been caused by human factors." Mu Fengqie voiced her thoughts.
She picked the most seriously - injured patient among the wounded and felt his pulse. Perhaps the injury was too severe, and the patient was on the verge of death. All the conditions in his body were revealed.
There was a very domineering toxin in that person's body. This toxin wouldn't show up in a normal person at all. It only manifested when the person was about to die.
"Human - made?" Jing Xunce's eyes became complicated after hearing this. He ran through all the people in his mind and identified a few suspects, but he wasn't sure who the culprit was.
"You'll have to find out who's behind this on your own. I only have one requirement, and that is they must not be let off lightly." Fortunately, this so - called epidemic was just a case of poisoning. As long as they found out what the poison was, it would be okay.
"Okay, I promise you." Even if Qie'er didn't say so, he wouldn't let them go.
"Also, find someone to take me to see where the water you usually use is and what you eat. I need to check these." These two things were the most likely places for someone to poison.
"I'll take you there myself." After confirming that it wasn't an epidemic infection, Jing Xunce breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Fengqie inspected the grain and forage but found no problems. Moreover, the water they used was flowing water, so it was impossible to poison it.
For a moment, Mu Fengqie couldn't figure out where the source of the poison was.
At night, Mu Fengqie sat alone in the tent, deep in thought. When Jing Xunce came in, he saw a dark figure sitting motionless on the bed. It was quite... scary.
"Qie'er, why don't you light a candle?" As he said this, he took out a fire starter and started lighting the candle. Fortunately, he had a big heart; otherwise, he might have been scared out of his wits.
Mu Fengqie shook her head and said, "It's okay. I was just so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the time."
Mu Fengqie took a deep breath. Suddenly, she smelled something. "Ache, do you smell something? It's a very fragrant smell that makes people feel very relaxed." Mu Fengqie sniffed and said.
"You mean this? It's the smell from the burning candles. I specially had someone buy this batch of candles to help the soldiers rest well." Jing Xunce said with a smile. He didn't expect Qie'er to have such a sensitive nose and smell it so quickly.
Mu Fengqie wrinkled her nose and smelled the scent. She was very sure that there was something wrong with this fragrance.
"Ache, show me this candle. I want to study it." Mu Fengqie stood up and said.
Jing Xunce didn't suspect anything. He thought Mu Fengqie just simply liked this fragrance and wanted to study it herself.
Mu Fengqie looked at the candle in her hand and smelled it under her nose. She was extremely shocked. There was a very faint smell on the candle. If one wasn't extremely familiar with medicinal materials, they would never notice it. Even an experienced doctor would find it hard to smell.
"Ache, are these candles in every tent in the barracks?" Mu Fengqie asked seriously.
"Yes, but at first, there weren't many of these candles. Since the raw materials were hard to obtain, there was only a small batch. I gave them to the wounded soldiers. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that the whole batch arrived."
He had just taken them out today, hoping that Qie'er could rest well.
"There's a problem with this batch of candles. Don't use them anymore. Hurry up and collect all the candles." Mu Fengqie said.
When Mu Fengqie said this and combined it with what she had said about the poisoning today, Jing Xunce immediately understood the key point. There was poison in this batch of candles!
"Okay, I'll go right away." Jing Xunce didn't dare to delay. He immediately sent someone to collect the candles. If it was really the candles that were the problem, then he was the culprit. It was his fault that his comrades had become like this, and he couldn't shirk his responsibility.
Mu Fengqie saw Jing Xunce blaming himself and knew that he had taken all the blame on himself.
"Ache, this isn't your fault. You did it for everyone's good. Fortunately, we found out in time, and no great disaster has occurred." Mu Fengqie comforted him.
Jing Xunce turned around and silently hugged Mu Fengqie. No matter what, he still felt guilty.
"Ache, if you really feel guilty, don't be so dejected. You should find the real culprit and avenge everyone."
Jing Xunce also knew that the most important thing now was to find out who had poisoned them.
"Qie'er, I understand." A person who had gone through great storms couldn't be defeated by such a small setback.
