When dawn came the next day, the first thing the thief did when he woke up was to call up the mountain, and the two of them headed for Usma's engineering department.

The thief hadn't forgotten what he had told Usma yesterday.

Today, he is looking for Takumu in the Eastern Plains to make compound bows.

Just as he was about to get out of the cave, the thief felt something at his feet.

When I looked down, I saw the little blade-toothed tiger lying on the ground, trembling all over his body, and the fur on his body was also blown up and turned upside down.

Tushan poked his head over and asked Ji Thief, "Patriarch, what's wrong with this tiger cub?"

Hearing this, the thief lowered his head and looked at the blade-toothed tiger for a long time, and shook his head: "I don't know either. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the little guy and looked at it carefully in his arms.

Well, there is no clear snot coming out of the nose under the nose, and the temperature on the body is normal, so there is no sign of illness at all.

What's going on? Could it be frightened? Well, maybe so. You know, there have been several times before, and the little guy has been scared, and this time it may be the same.

Thinking to himself, the thief patted the little blade-toothed tiger on the head and tried to appease it.

However, this time, no matter how the thief stroked it, the little guy's body was still trembling.

"It's weird, it was okay before. Ji Thief couldn't help but wonder, and said that after the little tiger cub was scared before, he made it calm through his own touch, what happened today?

Tushan scratched his face and asked, "Patriarch, could it be that it misses its mother?"

Speaking of which, the thief remembered: "It's possible, by the way, did you see its mother?"

Tushan shook his head: "No." ”

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Ji Thief said, "That's it, send it to the snow first, and when you come back, we'll see what's going on." ”

While the two were talking, the thief walked out with the little blade-toothed tiger in his arms, but he had not walked far out of the cave when he saw a patch of grass swaying not far from the entrance of the cave, making a fluttering sound.

Ji Thief walked over to look with curiosity, but found that the big blade-toothed tiger was crawling on the ground, behaving exactly like the little blade-toothed tiger.

"It's really strange, this mother and son can't be guilty of the same disease. The thief couldn't help but mutter.

Tushan also nodded: "Yes, who can scare the mother and son at once?"

Ji Thief frowned: "No, Tushan, you go to the Ministry of Agriculture to see what's going on." ”

Tsuchiyama still doesn't understand: "What's wrong?"

Ji Thief gritted his teeth and said, "How do I feel that something is wrong, if they are not frightened, they should have some kind of infectious disease." ”

"What disease?"

Ji thief sighed: "Don't worry about any illness, you go and see the situation quickly." ”

Tushan hurriedly said yes twice, and trotted away.

At the same time, the thief squatted down and continued to appease the blade-toothed tiger.

However, no matter how hard the thief tried, the two blade-toothed tigers, one big and one small, did not slow down.

After about twenty minutes, Tushan ran back panting and said, "Clan, patriarch." ”

Ji Thief looked at him hurriedly and asked, "How is the situation?"

Tushan glanced at the mother and son of the blade-toothed tiger lying on the ground, still trembling, and said, "Those prey of the Ministry of Agriculture are the same as these two blade-toothed tigers, and Ah Wei is about to die." ”

"Are all of them?" asked the thief uncertainly.

Tsuchiyama nodded: "That's right, all of them." ”

After the words fell, Tushan looked at Ji Thief's tightly knit brows and asked, "Patriarch, what the hell is going on?"

Ji Thief shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but I guess it's likely that there is an outbreak of infectious diseases among animals." ”

As he spoke, the thief put down the mother and son of the sword-toothed tiger and said, "Come with me to the Ministry of Agriculture." ”

Hearing this, Tushan was surprised: "Aren't we going to the engineering department?"

Ji Thief shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go today, if there is a real outbreak of infectious diseases in the tribe, we have to deal with it well, otherwise, I'm afraid everyone will die." Tushan, you are like this, don't follow me, you go directly to the medical department, and ask Ah Qiduo for some sun-dried wormwood to light in the valley. Smoke it with wormwood and disinfect the tribe. ”

Tushan was stunned: "Is there such trouble?"

Ji Thief looked at Tushan instead: "Trouble, you are troublesome now, when the infectious disease breaks out, everyone will be dead, so there is no need to bother, and everyone will die by then." Just go. ”

Tushan agreed twice, and went away.

The thief also left the mother and son of the bladetooth tiger and headed towards the Ministry of Agriculture.

When he arrived, Ah Wei was standing next to the breeding circle with a sad face, looking at all the prey lying on the ground in the circle and sighing.

"Ah Wei, how is the situation?" asked Ji Thief as he approached him.

Ah Wei, who heard the voice of the thief, hurriedly turned around, and saw the thief hurriedly shouting the patriarch.

"Now is not the time to be polite, tell me first, how is the prey?" said Ji Thief.

Ah Wei stood up straight, pointed to the breeding circle, and looked guilty: "When the agricultural tribesmen got up to give them night food last night, they found that something was wrong, at first, it was just one or two heads, four or five like this. At that time, everyone didn't pay attention, but when I got up this morning and looked at it, it was all like this. ”

Saying that, Ah Wei couldn't help but be annoyed: "Patriarch, it's all my fault, if only I hadn't slept yesterday." ”

Ji Thief glared at him: "What nonsense, yesterday you were busy for a day, what's wrong with resting, I haven't heard of asking the head of a department to get up in the middle of the night to feed the prey." ”

The more Ji Thief said this, the more guilty Ah Wei became.

"Patriarch, is it that I haven't raised it well enough, why have I only been raising it for a few days, and it has become like this. ”

Listening to Ah Wei's words of self-reproach, Ji Thief looked at the more than 200 prey lying on the ground in the breeding circle and said, "It has nothing to do with you, my blade-toothed tiger is in the same situation as them." Is that why you?"

Ah Wei was stunned: "Blade-toothed tiger too?"

Ji Thief nodded: "Yes." ”

Ah Wei didn't understand now: "What's the matter, why did so many prey become like this in one night?"

Ji Thief turned around and said, "I think there may be some kind of infectious disease outbreak between animals." ”

"Contagion?"

"Yes, it could be a virus in the air, or it could be caused by the unsanitary place where the prey lives. ”

Ah Wei didn't understand what the first half of the thief meant, but he understood the second half of the thief's words.

Ah Wei swore at the time: "Patriarch, I clean the breeding ring every day, absolutely hygienic." ”

Ji Thief said: "Then it can only be the former." ”

When Ji Thief said these words, Ah Wei's heart was half cold, because from Ji Thief's wrinkled brows, he had already seen the seriousness of the matter.

"Then, what should I do, Patriarch. Ah Wei asked in a panic.

Ji Thief looked at the female prey that had already had a lot of cubs, gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he stomped his feet and said: "There is only one way to stop the spread of germs, kill." ”

"Kill, kill?" Ah Wei was stunned.

Ji Thief nodded, pointed at the prey, and said, "Yes, kill it." ”

Ah Wei was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out: "It's not the patriarch, many of these are female prey with cubs." ”

Ji Thief looked at Ah Wei instead: "If you don't kill it, the virus will only spread faster, and when the time comes, what if the clansmen are all infected?"

Ah Wei's face hurt when he heard this, he was only the second day after he became the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, and there was such an incident, how could it not be worrying.

"Kill them all, all of them?" Ah Wei asked in pain.

Ji Thief nodded: "Kill them all." ”

"Then, what to do with the killing, these more than 200 prey, everyone can't eat them. ”

Ji Thief looked at Ah Wei instead: "Eat, what to eat, either burn or bury, absolutely not eat." ”

Hearing this, Ah Wei was shocked again: "One, don't you leave any of them?"

Ji Thief snorted, nodded and said: "Keep one, it is possible to kill everyone, come and inform the logistics department, divide these prey, and then go to notify the military fighting department and the military royal department, let them come and practice." ”

One of the clansmen agreed, turned and ran out.

After a while, Ah Ju led the people from the Military Fighting Department and the Military Imperial Department to come to him.
