Chapter 363: The Result

As soon as these words came out, A Lu Zhi’s eyes flickered. Last night, when it was discovered that most of the patients were soldiers and Xiuluo warriors, A Lu Zhi already had this guess.

It’s just that he has no evidence, and saying such things without evidence will lower the morale of the soldiers. Besides, if the soldiers can’t trust their comrades in arms, it will give the enemy an opportunity to exploit this weakness when the soldiers are in disarray.

Looking at his expression, Xu Xiang knew that A Lu Zhi also had this guess. After a few seconds of silence, A Lu Zhi looked at her and asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Last night I checked the water and food, and found nothing. But after sorting out the test results, I found out that all the food and water contained some substances. If these substances are combined together, it would become a poison inside the body. While the poison is not fatal at first, if the patients can’t get the antidote within three days, they will die."

As soon as these words came out, A Lu Zhi’s eyes widened. He quickly took the papers filled with detailed information about everything that the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors ate. He read it carefully, and the more he read, the gloomier his expression became.

After reading it, he put down the papers and said, "Xu Xiang, you are right. These soldiers and Xiuluo warriors who were not infected with strange diseases did not eat everything. They shared the food with their families, and only ate a little bit of the food. As for the water, they didn’t bring it back because there is drinking water at home."

Xu Xiang looked at him and said, "Since we already know that this is not a disease but poison, then there is no need to worry. I will prepare the antidote and send it to the hospital. With these antidotes, the patients should recover soon."

Hearing what she said, A Lu Zhi nodded as he remembered that she was the one who detoxified them before.

Seeing his calm expression, Xu Xiang said, "Our first task now is to find the spies and arrest those barbarians. If we can’t get rid of them, no matter how much antidote I can provide is never enough."

On this matter, A Lu Zhi agreed with her. Since those spies and barbarians can poison them once, they can poison them twice. To completely solve this matter, they need to solve the root of the problem, which is those spies and barbarians.

Looking through the curtain gap, she saw that it was already bright outside. Xu Xiang put all her things into her space, then stood up and said, "I’m going to the hospital to deliver the antidote first. Can you help me inform the kitchen staff to build another kitchen in the village square?"

Hearing what she said, A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "All right. If you want to find me, you can go to the village square later."

"All right."

After speaking, Xu Xiang walked out of the commander’s tent and went to the hospital, while A Lu Zhi went to the kitchen in the North District. When Xu Xiang arrived at the hospital, she saw that the hospital was more crowded than last night.

When she was still observing the patients lying on the cloth in the front yard of the hospital, a physician came over and asked, "Miss Xu, are you feeling unwell too?"

Xu Xiang looked at the young physician and said, "I’m fine. Is Elder Qiaoli Buka here?"

When the physician heard that she was looking for the First Elder, he said, "The First Elder is not here, but the Second Elder is."

"Then can you take me to meet Elder Suo Jiatai?" She asked again.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Xu, please come this way."

After he said that, Xu Xiang followed the young physician. After passing several small buildings, they stopped in front of a small building located not far from the hospital. From the simple design, this building should be one of the warehouses in the village.

The young physician knocked on the wooden door and waited. A few seconds later, an old woman’s voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The young physician opened the door, looked at Xu Xiang and said, "Miss Xu, I still need to go back to the hospital. You can wait inside."

Xu Xiang thanked him before entering the building. The moment she stepped into the building, she frowned slightly. The smell of medicine in the room was very pungent, which gave her a headache. While Xu Xiang was still adjusting her breathing, Suo Jiatai walked out of a door on the back with a tired face.

Seeing her standing there, Suo Jiatai raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Oh, what a rare guest. Miss Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Xiang looked at the old woman and said, "Elder, I’m here to deliver the antidotes for the patients."

Hearing her words, Suo Jiatai motioned her to sit down, then sat down on the floor cushion, and asked, "Antidote? Has the cause of this strange disease been found out?"

Suo Jiatai poured Xu Xiang a cup of water, then waited for her to answer. Xu Xiang took the water, took a sip, and said, "Yes. We just completed the investigation and found that the cause of this outbreak was poisoning."

Suo Jiatai nodded, and asked again: "Did the culprit poison the water source?"

Xu Xiang put down the cup and calmly said, "They not only poisoned the water, but also poisoned the food."

Hearing what she said, Suo Jiatai thought for a while and said, "If the water and food are poisonous, why can’t the First Elder find anything? In our tribe, he is the only one who uses poison to heal the patient. His knowledge of poisons is second to none."
