Chapter 561
- According to the "Song History·Five Elements Records", in the first year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, in June of the Xinhai year, there was a great epidemic in western Zhejiang. In the north of Pingjiang Prefecture, the number of people who committed suicide by jumping into the river was countless. It was a severe drought, and the drinking water dried up. There were countless red ants on the riverbed. Seeing the ominous omen from the sky, the river was cut off and burned to prevent the spread of the plague. By September, more than 80,000 people died of the epidemic. Later, it was found that they were all caused by red ants.
- During the ancient Southern Song Dynasty, there was an incident where abdominal ants were rampant, causing a city to be deserted and large areas of villages and towns to be extinct.
- This kind of abdominal ants, after the venom of the ants erodes the human body, will paralyze the nerves, causing people to be in a state of extreme water shortage hysteria, and the demand for water will become greater and greater until the water source around them can no longer meet the demand. They will look for rivers and lakes and throw themselves into them until they drown. There is no medicine to save them.
