The rebirth of the medical concubine: The regent is too cold to flirt with!

Chapter 6: Found the source of erythema

"What's the matter?" Liu Yunzhou asked.

"A mummy is called a mummy in a certain country. The so-called mummy is a corpse made after death through a series of treatments. Legend has it that it is for the purpose of resurrecting the dead." Xiaolong rambled,

"Not everyone can become a mummy. Only the emperor or nobles of that country have such treatment. The process of making mummies is also very, how should I say, very complicated and difficult to describe. If they are also infected with erythema, omit it. What a hassle.”

Liu Yunzhou:......

"Shut up you."

She explored the body again.

All the corpses were severely dehydrated, and their organs appeared strangely shriveled.

She couldn't understand why red spots appeared on mummies long after death.

"I'm serious." Xiaolong said, "Mummy is a culture of immortality, similar to the immortality of the old man Dongfang Buxian. Don't you want to know how mummies are made?"

"Do not want to."

"You really have no curiosity at all." Xiaolong was immersed in his own world.

"After a person dies, the body is cleaned with baking soda and the like, and then a layer of oil is applied to prevent decay. After that, starting from the head, a special tool is used to drill through the nostrils to the skull, and the brain fluid is removed by some means. Stir it up and suck out the brain fluid in some way. After the head is empty, fill it with spices and medicine. This is the first step. The next step is to deal with the internal organs..."

Liu Yunzhou's hand paused.

"You said that the brain fluid was stirred up and then sucked out?"

"Yeah, isn't it very bloody and disgusting?" Xiaolong said, "But this is the most critical step in making a mummy."

"No." Liu Yunzhou said, "Let's open his head and take a look."

Xiaolong was shocked: "No way, do you think the brain fluid of this corpse was also sucked out?"

Liu Yunzhou did not respond.

She shifted her target to the head of the corpse.

After opening the head.

Sure enough, as she thought, more than half of the corpse's brain fluid had been eaten away by something.

The gnawed place was filled with some kind of strange substance.

Liu Yunzhou pinched it.

The substance feels gelatinous and fluid.

Red gelatin is slowly flowing down from the blood vessels in the brain.

Because the skin of the corpse is shriveled, the red gelatin flows down and forms erythema on the skin.

"Brother, we found the source of the red spots!" Liu Yunzhou said to Lin Hegui,

“After these people died, something was eating their brain fluid, and the eaten brain fluid was replaced by red colloid. After the red colloid seeped into the blood vessels, erythema appeared.

The brain fluid of the two corpses was eaten away very quickly, and the red colloid had flowed into the blood vessels, and only then did erythema appear in advance. "

Lin Hegui heard this and immediately went to open the head of another corpse.

"Senior brother, be careful!" Liu Yunzhou said, "If my guess is correct, this red gel is contagious. You must not touch it."

Lin Hegui's hand paused.

He looked at Liu Yunzhou: "But junior sister, you..."

"It's enough for me to touch it alone. There is no need for two people to touch it." Liu Yunzhou said, "Brother, you don't have to worry. I'm wearing protective clothing and gut gloves. I'll be fine."

She put the red gel into a small porcelain bottle.

"I think that as long as we solve the mystery of the red gelatin, we can solve the cause of death from high fever. Senior brother, it's dangerous here. You go out and wait for me. I still have some things to do."

Lin Hegui's expression was complicated.

He has a lot to say.

The words came to my lips, but nothing came out.

Seeing Lin Hegui hesitating, Liu Yunzhou sighed.

"Senior brother, we have agreed to divide the work and cooperate. You don't have to worry about me. I also know medical skills and can do it independently. If you keep guarding me all the time, fearing this or that, then what's the point of my helping?"

"Hurry up and inform Qingyan. This news is very important. I believe Qingyan can find a better resettlement strategy. As you said, if you delay for a quarter of an hour, many people will die, so please."

Lin Hegui finally walked out of the tent.

Liu Yunzhou sat in the dim light, his expression more serious than ever.

She stared at her hands.

"It has now been determined that the source of this incident is red colloid."

Xiaolong: "It looks like this so far."

Liu Yunzhou: "What kind of infection is it? Insects? Gu worms? Or poisoning?"

"I don't know." Xiaolong said.

Liu Yunzhou: "Then we can only wait."

"Wait until the red colloid completely replaces the brain fluid?" Xiaolong asked, "Do you want to find out if there are any Gu insects?"

"Ah."

"This method is too stupid, and there are many organisms that are invisible to the naked eye." Xiaolong said, "For example, very small bugs, such as bacteria and viruses."

"so what should I do now?"

"Generally speaking, you have to look at it under a microscope."

"do you have?"

"No."

"Is there any other way?" Liu Yunzhou asked.

"There is a way, but it's more dangerous." Xiaolong said.

Liu Yunzhou knew what Xiaolong meant.

There are some things that she can't see with the naked eye, but that doesn't mean Xiaolong can't see them.

Xiaolong's way of exploration is very special.

If she could come into contact with the red gel, Xiaolong might be able to analyze something.

Of course.

This required her to take off her gut gloves and touch the red gel with her fingers.

"Xiaolong, will I be infected?" Liu Yunzhou asked.

Xiaolong said: "You have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in me."

"I don't quite believe in myself, but I believe in you." Liu Yunzhou took off his gloves.

Her fingers slowly approached the red gel.

"What are you doing?" Xiaolong was shocked, "Xiao Long Bao, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Do you want to test the poison yourself? No, no, this thing is too strange. If it is something I have never seen before or if I don't have a solution, wouldn't you be dead?"

"Didn't you ask me to believe you?"

"That's not what I believe." Xiaolong said, "I'll just stick out my paw and dip it in for a little analysis. I won't be infected, so why do you have to come in person?"

Liu Yunzhou:......

The little dragon stretched out its fat claws.

The almost transparent little fat claws are dipped in the red gel.

after that.

Little Fat Claw disappeared.

"It will take me about two hours to analyze this thing, which is an hour." Xiaolong said, "I'm not sure if I can analyze anything, but I'll try my best."

"Don't call me during this period. I need to concentrate. Oh, by the way, you'd better do a full body disinfection."

Xiaolong lost his voice after giving Liu Yunzhou a bottle of alcohol.

Liu Yunzhou asked for several barrels of pine oil.

After pouring pine oil on the bodies one by one, she lit the tent on fire.

Lin Hegui was shocked when he saw the burning tent.

He rushed over.

When he saw Liu Yunzhou standing outside the tent, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Junior sister, don't scare me." Lin He returned with lingering fear.

"Do you think I died together with the corpses?" Liu Yunzhou smiled, "How could I be so stupid?"
