Chapter 592: : The source of plague infection

Inside this sarcophagus, except for the corpse with a hideous face, Ye Chen could see clearly, and was even frightened by the two staring tiger eyes, the others were funerary objects.
Now Ye Chen was very surprised. Most people were buried in the ground after death. It took less than ten years. They might have been eaten by the termites. In the end, only bones were left.
This is the so-called dust returning to dust, soil returning to earth, and finally melting into the land. Of course, in the archaeological world, those corpses have long been found, buried in the ground for thousands of years, and they are still not corrupt.
In this regard, there are mummies in Egypt, but the appearance of the mummy looks almost like charcoal. The skin of those who are truly incorruptible still feels elastic.
Now Ye Chen saw that this unknown corpse was exactly like that, obviously, it was still similar to the same corpse that had just died a few days ago.
After Ye Chen finished reading, he found nothing except these, he put the stone cover back with great effort.
Ye Chen wouldn't really take this kind of dead money. Therefore, now that the stone cover is sealed, he is naturally afraid that the corpse inside will melt due to various influences from the outside world, and then he feels guilty.
At the moment of pushing up, Liao Bingxue also glanced at it, but didn't look at it again. Then, taking Liao Bingxue down from the stepped stone, Ye Chen took her again and watched in this open space of hundreds of square meters.
The temperature inside is very low, but because it is not humid, it is not as cold as outside. The floors inside were obviously artificially carved. It was such a big hole that did not collapse in thousands of years, indicating that it was really not an easy project.
Ye Chen took Liao Bingxue and looked around, still seeing the exquisite patterns on the cave wall, every pair looked lifelike, as if they were alive.
Ye Chen is not an expert in this area. He is not interested in these aesthetics. He just read it once and found that there is nothing special. Going in to the left of the big cave, he sees that there are two small bridal chambers inside.
This is like a suite. In the middle of that suite is a hall or a living room, and on both sides are separate rooms or kitchens.
The same is true here now. On the left, Ye Chen saw two small holes. The entrance of the cave should be only one meter wide and two meters high. Ye Chen took the phone to illuminate and pulled Liao Bingxue into it. At that time, Ye Chen felt a different peculiar smell inside.
The more it was added, the stronger the peculiar smell became. After Liao Bingxue smelled it, she felt like vomiting.
How do you describe that taste? It can only be said that it is the smell that the rat has been dead for a few days, and the smell that the two people smell now is exactly that.
The two had just entered the depths of the small hole, making them stop in fright.
Because now when the light of the mobile phone flashlight shines, the two see a row of dead bodies. It was just a row of corpses, and the corpses had not melted either, similar to the male corpse seen in the sarcophagus just now.
However, in the sarcophagus, there should be the princes and kings. The small cave is lined up there, but in addition to the male corpses, there are also female corpses, and even the corpses of old people and children.
These corpses were all dressed in clothes. Those clothes should be ancient Hanfu. Ye Chen hadn't really studied the history of Hanfu.
Therefore, he did not recognize it very clearly, but he knew that it must have been thousands of years. Moreover, in addition to white, those clothes have various colors such as black, red, and yellow.
Now Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue used the mobile phone to irradiate them, but those corpses didn't let out scary eyes with wide open eyes.
However, the two people were so dark and under the cavern. When they saw these corpses, they were naturally afraid of instinct.
"Sister Bingxue, you are here, I'll come closer!" Ye Chen said.
Liao Bingxue was afraid, but she was even more afraid of being alone. She took Ye Chen's arm and followed. When he arrived about two meters away from the corpses, Ye Chen smelled the unpleasant smell, which was emitted from the corpses.
Ye Chen didn't expect that when he took a closer look, some of the corpses were actually placed in different positions.
This is enough to show that these corpses may have been moved.
Although Xiaowang Village had been in front of it before, it had long been said that no one came in. The first ones who came in should be Brother Luo Dagou and the Feng Shui guys from outside.
From the comments made by Roa's six brothers on the nature of the Luo Dagou brothers, Ye Chen knew that these two brothers were not good things.
When he saw this place now, he guessed that these corpses, especially those female corpses, might have been touched by the two brothers.
If that was the case, Ye Chen seemed to think that the plague might be spread from these corpses, and spread to the two Luo Dagou brothers. The two went outside and then spread it to their families and those Poultry, livestock, and even more other villagers.
Generally speaking, poultry and livestock, as well as those mice, cockroaches, and birds, are less resistant than humans. Therefore, it should be that after the Luo Dagu brothers died suffering from the unknown plague, the livestock, poultry, rats, cockroaches and birds in the whole village also died after rapid infection.
However, why did those plague virus germs, especially those with similar symptoms such as flu, typhoid fever, hemorrhagic fever, plague, and sepsis, spread from these corpses?
In fact, in ancient times, both China and foreign countries have always had plagues, the so-called head plague, those in foreign countries, Ye Chen doesn't need to think about it, but the plague in ancient times.
Ye Chen usually understands the records of those Chinese medicine books, basically, it will appear at the end of each dynasty, or in the middle and late stages.
Among them, it was first mentioned in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and "Huang Di Nei Jing", and the characteristics of the plague have been recorded.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's lifelong summing up of experience, the typhoid in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", was exactly the situation of the plague outbreak in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he compiled books based on the experience gained from treating those patients.
The Three Kingdoms is also more serious. The population of the Three Kingdoms is so small. In addition to the struggle for hegemony and the massacres of other grassland peoples, some of the lives of the people were taken away by the plague.
In the Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song, Ming and Qing, those famous ancient Chinese medicines are all mentioned in their books. Therefore, even if Ye Chen was inexperienced in the face of those plagues, because he knew a lot in ancient Chinese medicine books, he was not afraid.
In these dynasties, whether it is a well-known doctor of Chinese medicine or others, they may not have great reputations in Chinese medicine, but there are records, indicating that Chinese medicine is still more concerned about these.
Now Ye Chen saw the situation here, and recalled what he had encountered in Xiaowang Village in the past twenty days, which still made him feel very strange.
Even if the ancients had already had typhoid fever or plague, it was clear. But why are there so many similar symptoms in patients infected by the plague?
Ye Chen didn't know this for now. However, he knew that those viruses and germs are not easy to survive in a high temperature state.
Therefore, plague virus germs are generally afraid of high temperature and fire. However, if it is in a low temperature, even in such an underground cave, there is still little contact with the outside world.
If those viruses and germs were originally on these non-decaying corpses, it can even be said that the bacteria and viruses are in a state of'hibernation', even if they are still alive for more than a thousand years, it is also very likely. .
In addition, seeing these corpses that did not appear to decay is more likely to indicate that those corpses are parasitic inside the corpses, so that, maybe thousands of years, those viruses and germs are still alive.
Compared with the ancients, modern people have strengthened and evolved a lot in all aspects of physique. If it is those ancient viruses and germs, even if they spread to modern people, generally speaking, there should be no outbreaks.
But why is the Luo Dagou brothers so?
