Wanbao Lady
Chapter 123: Making trouble in the middle of the night
Just two days after the notice was posted, more patients were taken away and sent to treatment centers.
However, a piece of bad news suddenly came.
"What? Both glutinous rice and cinnabar are bad?"
Detective Mo looked so incredulous that the black-robed detective who came to report was trembling with fear.
"Yes... yes, sir, as soon as we opened the door this morning, we found that all the glutinous rice and cinnabar were poisoned by insects. Judging from the traces at the scene, a centipede must have crawled in and injected venom on them..."
Detective Mo's face turned almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
The news that glutinous rice and cinnabar can cure corpse poison will definitely spread.
In order to prevent merchants from deliberately raising prices and also to ensure unified scheduling, they purchased a large amount of glutinous rice and cinnabar early on and stored them in various warehouses.
But now, overnight, all these things have suffered!
If you say no one is playing tricks, just write his name backwards!
Now I can only go to various shops in the city to make purchases temporarily.
As for the glutinous rice and cinnabar dispatched from surrounding areas, it will take some time for them to arrive.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order.
However, bad news came again.
Almost all the glutinous rice from large grain merchants in the city has been eaten up!
And the method is exactly the same as that used in the warehouse!
"Damn it!"
Detective Mo slammed the table so hard that it broke into pieces.
During this period of time, they have been focusing on rats and poisoned people, but they never thought that centipedes would also come to cause trouble!
Things contaminated by venom are obviously unusable.
At present, only the glutinous rice in the homes of small and medium-sized grain merchants has escaped the poisonous poison.
He immediately sent people to buy them, and also specially prepared some insect repellents and put them in the warehouse.
At the same time, I had some vague guesses in my mind.
With so many centipedes destroying these supplies at the same time and on purpose, there must be a demon behind the scenes directing them.
Centipede...centipede monster?
Some information flashed through his mind.
His face immediately darkened.
-
That night.
The two ghost messengers were patrolling the city just like they did in the previous few days.
"How many poisonous rats have we killed? It should be cleared out soon, right?"
"I guess so! I don't want to see these rats again! Instead of killing rats, I might as well catch ghosts!"
"Hahaha! I used to be a ghost messenger, but I turned out to be a rat extermination master!"
"Oh no, there's nothing we can do. This corpse poison is too contagious. If we don't take care of it, I'm afraid our Guangning Prefecture will become a dead city!"
The two chatted while observing their surroundings distractedly.
"There are two of them!"
One of the ghosts suddenly said, and then a beam of light shot over, and the mouse immediately turned over.
The other one was not to be outdone and shot out a beam of light, but the mouse just happened to dodge it.
The mouse ran into a dark ditch.
"Hahaha, can you do it!"
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, the Yinchai who had missed the target floated over, peered into the dark ditch, and at the same time used his spiritual sense to scan downwards.
But he suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Another companion also floated over and looked down, but saw only a rat hole in the ditch, but no rat.
"Did he run in?"
He muttered to himself, and then extended his spiritual sense to scan down.
But he suddenly stopped his action.
The two ghost messengers looked at each other in horror, and one of them said quickly, "You stay here and pay attention to the situation. I'll go report to the City God!"
But just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden movement underground.
The two men's expressions changed.
"boom!"
Like a fountain, countless mutated rats gushed out from the ditch, piling on top of each other, squeaking and screaming, and then quickly scattered.
"Kill them!"
The two ghost messengers acted decisively and waved the underworld treasures in their hands, sweeping away a large area.
But there were too many rats, and they didn't gather together. After coming out, they scattered wildly.
Suddenly, quite a few fish escaped.
Soon the noise here was heard by other ghost messengers, and they all rushed over.
Although many escaped mutated rats were killed along the way, many others disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it! Quickly inform the City God!"
Late at night.
Countless people have been bitten by rats in their sleep and woke up from the pain.
Screams were heard one after another from every house.
City God's Palace.
"Where do all these rats come from?"
Yang Chenghuang was also very angry.
Seeing that the rat eradication operations in the past few days have been quite effective, it is estimated that in the near future, the mutant rats in the city will completely disappear.
But so many mutant rats suddenly appeared overnight, making all their efforts of several days go to waste!
After a while, a night patrolman came forward to report.
"Have you found out the origins of these mutant rats?"
The City God asked in a deep voice.
The Night Patrol said respectfully, "Your Excellency the City God, I immediately searched along the path where the rat infestation broke out and found that the underground rat tunnels were interconnected, but they all led to one place in the end."
"Oh? Where is it?"
"A barren mountain northwest of the city."
Northwest? Barren mountains?
Yang Chenghuang looked towards the northwest, as if he was looking at something through endless space.
At the same time, in Heidu Mountain.
The Black Dushan Demon King seemed to sense something, looked towards the southeast, and curled his lips slightly.
"Old man, do you like the gift I gave you? Hahahaha!"
-
The golden rooster crows and the sun rises.
Early in the morning, many people came to the treatment center wearing hats or robes, saying that they were bitten by poisonous rats last night.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle outside the treatment center.
The thresholds of many spots have been trampled down and it is extremely crowded.
The patients were pleased with their awareness, but they were also distressed.
With so many people coming, there are not enough treatment staff, and even less glutinous rice!
Although a lot of new arrivals came yesterday afternoon, who knew that a sudden rat infestation would break out last night, adding so many new patients!
Even these new goods are not enough!
After telling the person in charge of the location about the matter, the person in charge also sighed.
"Well, the higher-ups are aware of this and are trying to find a solution. Just continue to treat them as before! As for the extra people, new locations are being developed elsewhere and someone will assign them there."
The person who reported it nodded upon hearing this.
That’s all.
-
Yudu Mountain.
Recently, whenever Chongfan opened the prayer channel, many of the scattered key words changed.
From seeking wealth, it has become seeking health.
Especially after last night, as soon as the prayer passage was opened this morning, a similar sound suddenly appeared in the noisy "vegetable market".
They are almost all the same keywords.
normal.
health.
Chongfan summoned Ba Yan and asked, "Was there any unusual movement in Guangning Prefecture last night?"
Upon hearing this, Bayan was surprised and said, "I was just about to report this to you! Last night, there was a rat plague in Guangning Prefecture. Many people were bitten and it's getting really bad now! It seems that they are... short of glutinous rice. Yes, they are short of glutinous rice!"
When Chong Fan heard this, he thought about the prayers he had just heard.
He then asked, "Did Niu Da and Niu Er reclaim a lot of farmland in the southern valley a few days ago?"
Bayan nodded.
"Yes, Madam, they say that the spiritual energy there is the best besides that of the Jade Crossing Villa. It would be a pity if we don't cultivate some spiritual fields there."
Chongfan smiled when he heard this.
How could the spiritual energy there be bad?
Her spirit stone mine is buried next to the valley!
Chongfan waved her hand, and a bag of seeds appeared in her hand.
"Let's go and see what they have accomplished."
