After all, Qian Dagui and his wife were finally sent away. The township head personally sent them out and told someone to place them in the township government guest house, promising that they could come back early in the morning to check on the situation.
After returning to the yard, the mayor's first action was to close the door of Qian Dagui's yard, rushed to Old Man Jiang, and said with a heavy expression: "Master Jiang, tell me your identity. ?”
"What's there to say? I told you to cooperate with me, so just do it." Old Man Jiang took a sip of tea and put down the cup. I knew very well that Old Man Jiang would never speak.
The township chief was stunned for a moment, his face changed several times, and finally he sighed, sat down next to Old Man Jiang, and said: "I have been an official for so many years. If you know what you shouldn't ask, don't ask. Wait for it later." The people who cleaned up the cow carcass are here, and we don’t have much time. Master Jiang, you have to tell me what happened to that insect no matter what, right?"
Old Man Jiang glanced sideways at the mayor and said nothing.
The township head said seriously: "Master Jiang, people of my age have no curiosity, but don't think of me as a mere official. I have stayed in this village for so many years. What's the matter? I have experienced it, and I am still sitting in the position of the mayor. I have no other meaning. I just want to say that I have feelings for this land. You said that it was Guo Er and the others who brought it from the ancient tomb. Planting ancient, tenacious insects is very harmful. It is said that this matter must be kept secret and solved in a low-key manner. I will do it! But look at that cow, Master Jiang, I am worried about the villagers in this area. What are you doing? Let me tell the truth, I promise not to leak it, and I will not tell anyone even to death. Please let me know what it is, so that I can feel at ease!"
The mayor's words were sincere, but Old Man Jiang didn't even change his expression and said: "They are ancient pests with tenacious vitality. I have no need to lie to you. You yourself said that people of this age I don’t have any curiosity anymore, so I’ll just let this thing rot in your stomach for the rest of your life, okay?”
"But Master Jiang, I don't know anything else, but in this Sichuan area, there are many villages that have disappeared because of the plague. It was a plague that was announced to the outside world. I always know that the entire village has disappeared. I'm worried." Then. In fact, the township chief is not someone who knows nothing about reaching that position.
Old Man Jiang's expression changed a little this time. He looked at the village chief and said, "What do you know?"
"I know there are many rumors that it's a zombie attack!" the mayor suddenly said as if he had made up his mind.
This sentence shocked me. I have seen ghosts, zombies, and other things. Old Man Jiang never even mentioned them to me.
"Nonsense, what are you talking about about zombies? It's a plague, just like this time about bugs. These are all science. Could it be that when bugs that you haven't seen appear and they are related to those things? This is what you, a township leader, should say If so?" Old Man Jiang cursed.
"Yes, what are the zombies causing? Those villages that disappeared most recently were more than five years ago. What were the living conditions at that time? How many people died from the plague in Europe at that time? Is it also a zombie?" Hui Jue The old man also spoke.
I looked at these two old men with some confusion and said to myself, speaking of your profession, you are regarded as magicians in people's eyes. Why are you talking about science now
Are you hiding something
The mayor was speechless, but he couldn't afford to offend the two bosses who asked for cooperation. After being depressed for a long time, he said: "I have seen zombies when I was a child. They were dug out of graves, and their claws and The teeth have grown out and the body is covered with hair. If you throw it into the fire and burn it, it will squeak and scream, I’m not kidding.”
"I've never seen it anyway." Old Man Jiang said firmly.
"I haven't seen it either." It was Hui Jue who cooperated with Old Man Jiang decisively.
"Well... ok then." The township head felt that he was drunk today and came to say this. Could it be that caring leads to chaos
Finally, under the persuasion of Old Man Jiang that the bug issue would be solved within this period of time, he left Qian Dagui's yard.
As soon as the mayor left, I breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as I ran to the master, he looked at me and said, "Don't ask about zombies."
My words were choked in my throat, so I had to say: "Master, are we staying here tonight? Also, the mayor doesn't know that bugs are hungry ghosts? I thought he knew."
"Can he know? No one with a high level can know how much top-secret information is buried underground. Only a dozen or so people can see it. For some things, the fewer people who know about them, the better. They just need to cooperate. , As long as you don't tell the truth, there will be no evidence even if some things become legends among the people. This is just for stability, understand?" Old Man Jiang said in an evasive way, not mentioning whether he would stay here tonight at all.
I asked again. To be honest, the bug made me feel sick in my heart. I didn't want to stay here, even though I knew I had to stay here.
"Hold on, hold on, that bug sucked the blood and essence of a cow, and then had a feast in the cow's belly. Do you want to catch it?"
"Well, Master, as a cow is so big, are the insects very powerful?" I was very worried.
"In general, the blood of a cow is better than that of a human, but its aura is far behind. Without human blood, it can't take form. It's just a bigger worm. If you draw it out, it can do things easily. What I'm worried about is There's another one." Old Man Jiang said with a frown.
"Why are you worried? Master, didn't you say that the other one also surrendered to the beast?" I said disapprovingly.
"The Hungry Ghost Bug, do you think it has no intelligence? There are hungry ghosts living in its body! Unless there is a master of voodoo magic to eliminate its intelligence, I don't know what these bug people are doing. I only know them. There is perception between each other, so many 'brothers and sisters' have disappeared, can it be careless? Just like this insect, why did it not show off when it came out of the cow's body? It is because it is cautious, thinking that at night, its arrogance is even more After winning, it comes out to eat people! This is still a sign that its spiritual intelligence is not fully activated. You said that if it fully activated its spiritual intelligence and dealt with Qian Dagui and his wife first, and then hid, the consequences would be..."
When my master said this, I got goosebumps all over my body. The Qian Dagui couple still had some luck. If the village hadn't killed the insect first, they would have been doomed. If the insect hadn't been at the stage where its intelligence was not fully developed, They are finished too.
This kind of thing is their luck, they happened to catch it at this point.
"Master, is this bug in this room?" When I asked, Su Rou also ran over, and he was concerned about this issue.
"If you want to know, come with me!" After Old Man Jiang said, he walked to the cattle pen with his hands behind his back. Su Rou and I quickly followed. Only Hui Jue didn't move. He didn't like to watch these scenes, just like us handling the corpses of insects. , he will never do anything, not even show up, this is a taboo in Buddhism.
Walking into the cattle pen, the cow's carcass was still there. If you wait a while, someone will come to deal with it. It was Old Man Jiang who called the person. But now, after leaving it there for so long, the carcass has a faint smell, and there are flies. Feiwu, if it weren't for curiosity, I really wouldn't come here again.
The crispy pork felt like vomiting again. Old Man Jiang glanced at him and cursed: "It's really useless."
As a result, Surou had to hold it back, and I clearly saw him trying hard to swallow, which made me feel sick to my stomach. ***, wouldn't it be better if you spit it out? You can still swallow it!
Old Man Jiang opened a piece of hay, and suddenly there was a hole the size of a little finger under the hay. You couldn't see it unless you paid attention. He said, "You only paid attention to the traces. When you saw that the traces were broken, you didn't look carefully. Do you want to Think of it crawling through the haystacks, leaving no trace, you have to be careful, look, it burrowed into the soil, don't forget how good they are at burrowing."
I held my breath and nodded repeatedly. It wasn't because I wasn't careful, but because first of all, I couldn't stand the miserable condition of the cow and didn't want to stay any longer. Secondly, I am afraid of the insect. I am afraid that if I find it, it will be cruel to me.
But I dare not say it, otherwise Old Man Jiang will label me as useless.
After coming out of the cattle pen and sitting down in the yard, I was about to ask: "Master, do you know where the bug is hiding?"
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door suddenly in the yard. Old Man Jiang glanced at me and Su Rou, which means you two should open the door together.
Surou said: "Sanwa'er, don't let me move. I've been running around all day. Besides, if I move now, the contents of my stomach will slosh out."
I rolled my eyes at Surou and ran to open the door. There were more than a dozen people standing outside the door, and I actually knew several of them.
