229 Mystic Scales
Fang Fang and Gu Ren had just packed the scorpions, and Cao Nianwei came in from the gate with two of her employees.
This time, she went out in person to buy more scorpions.
"Manager Cao is so fast. ”
Gu Ren was amazed.
"I have to hurry, the leader of Shangjing is coming in the afternoon, if you don't prepare well, take something to serve to people. These leaders can't be offended, and if we don't get it, we don't need to open the hotel. ”
Cao Nianwei explained.
Gu Ren smiled and took Cao Nianwei into the scorpion house, Cao Nianwei took a brief look, and asked his staff to carry the scorpion to the car. Then he hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Ren and returned to Dong'an.
Gu Ren sent Cao Nianwei to the vicinity of the farm, remembered what Leizi said, and turned around and entered the farm by the way. The inside of the farm is lush and green. The size of those cabbages is super big, some of them are more than a foot high, and there is no trend of wrapping in the middle, so it looks like the posture is still growing wildly.
The yellow-hearted Chinese cabbage planted behind it is also half a foot high, which was originally specially fed to chickens, but now it is completely complete. From time to time, chickens run out of the vegetable forest, burrow from here to there, chasing and catching insects.
Before sowing the Chinese cabbage seeds here, they are soaked in purple water, and the whole cabbage contains aura from root to leaf.
Those insects ate the cabbage, and the growth rate was super fast, and the insects outside smelled the aura here, and ran hard to this side, resulting in a lot of insects on the farm, so these chickens did not eat yellow-hearted cabbage at all.
Gu Ren followed the fence from east to west, checking to see if there were any gaps in the fence that were too large, or if someone had climbed over the fence.
Leizi and daughter-in-law Weiwei both followed behind Gu Ren.
"Vivi, when did our chicks start to be lost?"
Gu Ren turned around and asked.
"It was the third day after you left, I came to herd the chickens that morning, and found that one of the chicken coops was not the right number, a few less, and I thought the chickens had gone out early, so I didn't care. Later, I also found a lack of chickens in other chicken coops, so I counted them carefully, and there were actually twenty or thirty missing. I searched for a long time with Leizi, but we didn't find a problem, and the farm was fine. Those chicks seemed to disappear into thin air. Last night, Leizi and I simply stayed here, and when we woke up in the morning, we found that there were more than a dozen missing. Coupled with the rumors in the village in the past few days, I realized that something was wrong, so I hurriedly asked Leizi to tell you. Brother Aren, these chickens are all deducted from my and Leizi's salaries, we didn't take care of it. ”
Vivi lowered her head in embarrassment.
"You and Leizi abide by their duties, are conscientious, and have not failed in their responsibilities, it is too late to raise your salary, how can you deduct your salary? There's a hole in one part of the farm, and it's none of your business. ”
Gu Ren said with relief.
"What are the rumors in the village that you are talking about? Why haven't I heard of them?"
Gu Ren asked curiously.
Wei Wei was about to say when Lei Zi glared. She hurriedly lowered her head again, not daring to speak.
"Brother Aren, it's nothing, it's just that some people in the village are jealous and chew their tongues. ”
Lei Zi smiled.
"Let you say, and you say, what is there to hide. Maybe the loss of chickens on the farm has something to do with the rumor. Vivi, you say. ”
Gu Ren frowned.
"Oh...... That is true. Two days ago, someone saw something flying out of Zoumaliang Mountain. Some people say that Brother Ah Ren built a villa, destroyed feng shui, angered the mountain god, and the mountain god took revenge on our village. ”
Vivi preached.
"Nonsense, Brother Ah Ren built a homestead originally, and the engineering team also specially made a mountain sacrifice ceremony, how could it be related to the mountain god. This must be Gu Tianming's grandson spreading rumors. ”
Leizi said.
"Then why did you say that Uncle Gen's sheep and Aunt Zhu's guard dog were lost?"
Vivi retorted.
"Wait, you said Uncle Gen's sheep and Aunt Zhu's dog were also lost?"
Gu Ren seems to have grasped the key thing, Aunt Zhu is Xiaobing's mother, and she lives on the dam beam and opens a commissary, feeding a big black dog. Every night, there is something unusual in the village. This big black dog must have been the first to bite.
Uncle Gen is Gu Changgen's family, and he lives at the exit of Gujia Village, because his left hand is disabled and he can't do farm work, so the family feeds more than a dozen sheep, and his annual income depends on a dozen sheep.
Wei Wei and Lei Zi looked at Gu Ren suspiciously, they didn't know what the relationship between Uncle Gen's sheep, Aunt Zhu's dog and the chickens on the farm was related, if it was related, it would mean that the mountain god was angry and brought disaster to Gujia Village.
"I'll take another look. ”
Gu Ren walked along the fence again, a purple aura looming in his hand. Wei Wei and Lei Zi followed cautiously, not daring to make a sound.
From the front of Zoumaliang Beach to the back, Gu Ren finally felt abnormal.
There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in the air, and I walked to a fence along the place where the spiritual power fluctuated.
The fence, which should have been covered with dust, had a clear crawling mark, as if something had crawled over it.
"Hey, what is this?"
Weiwei's eyes lit up, and from the cabbage forest under her feet, she saw a golden scale as big as a thumb nail, bent down to pick it up, and looked at it curiously.
Gu Ren and Leizi also turned around and looked at the golden scales in Weiwei's hand.
The scales were all golden, and the roots were slightly white, probably falling off from something.
"It's a lot like fish scales, it can't be fish scales. ”
Leizi said.
"Give it to me. ”
Gu Ren took the scales from Wei Wei's hand, and then looked closely, and saw that the scales were not fish scales, but scales on snakes and reptiles. The scales of fish are new and bright, because of the limited living environment and the lubricating effect of water, which makes it difficult to damage.
And this scale has traces of friction, that is, it will still move on the ground.
At this moment, a faint trace of spiritual energy floated out and was absorbed by the purple qi.
Gu Ren was shocked, and a solemn gaze appeared on his face.
What it meant for the residual spiritual power floating out of the scales, he knew very well in his heart. The little golden spider Xiaomi and the old turtle Jiajia at home are all psychic special existences, and they often take purple qi, but they only have a little bit of aura. And a scale dropped by this snake reptile contains this aura. Then what terrifying spiritual power it contains.
According to the relevant information in the books of the Maoshan School, animals with such huge spiritual power are no longer simply psychic, but have become a great climate.
No wonder even Aunt Zhu's family is so vicious, and the big black dog can be easily killed. Linked to what Weiwei said. Gu Ren gasped, it was a spirit-like existence. This time I encountered ** annoyance.
"Brother Aren, what's wrong?"
Leizi and Weiwei saw Gu Ren's changing face and asked nervously.
"Nothing. It may be that the workers on the construction site ate fish and dropped their scales here. ”
Gu Ren said casually.
Leizi and Weiwei are just ordinary people, and it's better to know these weird things.
