Chapter 79: The Dragon and the Rat
Qi Xia, and Fan Yi and I stood in place waiting for him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After Wei Jingyuan finished talking to them, he walked over quickly, and he said, "City Lord, give the order." I pointed to my puzzled eyes and asked: Me?
He nodded solemnly, and I looked at the soldiers with torches, having experienced the defeat of the day, and indeed should have said a few words of encouragement. I coughed lightly, cleared my throat, and then walked to the front and exerted all my strength and said loudly: "All the soldiers, you have polished your eyes for me! The torches must also be picked, otherwise, I will not be responsible for the poison fly umbrella and I will not be responsible for falling to my death!"
"Hahaha!" The tense look suddenly laughed, "City Lord, don't worry!
"We can walk through this valley and the wind outlet with our eyes closed, not to mention the torches?"
"That's it!"
Seeing the reactions of the soldiers, I raised the torch in my hand and shook it a few times to signal them to be quiet, and then I raised my voice and said, "Let's go!"
Our group is missing Fan Ren, there are only four people left, Wei Jingyuan takes the lead, Qi Xia and I are in the middle, and Fan Yi is broken. The search at night is different from that during the day, mainly focusing on the dragon training liao, the valley mouth of the valley, the dragon house, and the dragon training field, and the farthest spread is only to the cultivation of herbs and medicinal fields for the use of dragons. Moreover, the search has also expanded to include a variety of nocturnal animals.
Although others have no objection to the strategy he proposed, I am full of suspicions. After holding it for a while, I finally asked: "Wei Qing, why do you have to increase your workload at night? During the day, your vision is clear, isn't it easier to catch animals or something?"
Wei Jingyuan moved the torch close to the ground, and said casually: "The operation during the day is actually just a drill, and the real search is at night, and ...... Don't you know?"
"I don't know, but what I need to know today is the shape, color, and growth habits of the poisonous fly umbrella that he deliberately explained."
Wei Jingyuan looked back at me, and the torch in his hand shone on his speechless face: "I know you don't know." As he spoke, he became arrogant again, "I already asked the medical officer when I came here today, and every time a new dragon is infected, it happens at night. If you don't catch the culprit at night, can you catch it during the day?"
"Hehe......" I smiled dryly to hide my embarrassment, I was meticulous and resolute, and I really deserved to be the genius fox Wei Jingyuan of Dragon City. Little lady, I automatically added a cut of difficulty to the second brother who was far away and tried to defeat the Wei family in my heart.
That's it, just a cut.
"What is this?!" Suddenly, Qi Xia pointed to a stone and exclaimed. Wei Jingyuan and I quickly gathered around: "Poisonous fly umbrella?" We asked in unison, only to find that there was nothing on the stone.
Fan Yi shined the torch at the bottom of the stone: "What General Qi said should be this mouse." ”
Is this a mouse? I stared wide-eyed at the little thing with its pointed nose and short ears, and if you ignore the shiny gray fur on its body, it was really a mouse.
"Seeds of the poison fly umbrella. Wei Jingyuan spoke solemnly, with a faint excitement in his tone, "Everyone retreat, follow it carefully!"
We dispersed at once, and the little one on the ground seemed to find its way in a moment, and I looked up to see where it was sniffing past - it was the dragonhouse and the shed!
Since the search area was not wide at night, we all concentrated around the dragon training room. "Quick! keep up with those rats!" There were also excited voices from other places, and Wei Jingyuan frowned: "Fan Yi, you go and inform the people inside to immediately transfer all the healthy dragons in the dragon house to the official residence! Keep an eye on the shack on the dragon training ground, and don't let these rats get close." If time permits, pour a circle of tung oil on the surrounding land and set it on fire. Go quickly!"
"Whew!" Fan Yi put down the torch and jumped to the opposite side with a whoosh.
I picked up the torch he had left behind, and stared at the slow-moving rat with the remaining two. The rat is not moving fast, it should be abnormal. Every time it walks a short distance, it stops and sniffs for a long time.
I heard the rustling of cracks behind me, and I stretched out my torch, and the light of the fire broke through the night and shone on the ground, and there were four rats lined up!
The one at the front is stronger and moves faster. The mouse in the back bit its tail, and then the one in the back bit the tail of the mouse in second. Like the rat at the front, they are coated with a layer of poisonous fly umbrella seeds.
"I see, the one at the front is just a worker rat. Wei Jingyuan moved the torch farther behind my torch, probably to make sure that there were any rats coming with him, "Even the sense of hearing and vision disappeared, leaving only the poor sense of smell, and these rats were also poisoned." ”
His words solved the doubts in my heart in time, and I have been thinking about how these mice are not afraid of people and fire.
But, isn't that right?" Since they are not shallowly poisoned, why are the symptoms completely different from those of the dragons?" My heart became heavy again, maybe the poison on the dragons had nothing to do with the poisonous fly umbrella......
"Didn't you already say it yourself? Rats and dragons have different symptoms. Wei Jing said an innocuous word far from the edge. Seeing that I was confused, he patiently spoke again: "Are dragons and mice the same?"
I shook my head: "It's different. ”
"Then why do the symptoms have to be the same?" he sighed, as if in honor of my head not being able to turn around, "the temperature of a dragon does not change, and the temperature of a mouse varies with the seasons. Based on this alone, it is also destined that the dragon and the mouse will be poisoned at the same time, and the symptoms will not be the same. ”
Uh, I see...... Live and learn...... Wei Fox understands so much at such a young age, I don't envy or jealous at all, really, not at all...... God, are you worthy of me?!
In a few moments, the rat with the poison fly umbrella seed had entered the range of the shed, but because of the raging fire around it. After they were burned hard, the remaining rats turned in a different direction and merged with the rats that were originally heading towards the dragon house.
There are dozens of these rats, to say the least!
In order not to affect their wayfinding, Wei Jingyuan told Qi Wu to organize soldiers to disperse the crowd. We followed the rats into the dragon house, only to see them climb up the stone trough along the corner of the dragon house, dig a hole in the dragon feed, squat in, and then desperately stuff the feed into their mouths.
