Chapter 190: Worm [I]
Early the next morning.
Due to the lack of Jiao Xing's service, when Wang Shouye packed up and rushed to the yamen, the hour had already passed.
Fortunately, the little official on duty has reserved a vacant seat in advance.
He wrote down the sign-in record of Mao Zheng for three minutes, and went to the duty room of the East Cross Courtyard with peace of mind.
Ma Gui, Lu Tai and others were not there as usual, and most of them either went outside the city, or presided over the number of consultations.
Wang Shouye flipped through the official documents on the table and found that there was nothing to care about except for the invitation form from the West Cross Courtyard.
So Shi Shiran went to the backyard to check the progress of the garden's renovation.
Because the Sanskrit chanting time of the Buddha's light relics has been thoroughly figured out, the large open space in the backyard has also been gradually developed and utilized.
However, the normal office is still only the front yard and two cross-courtyards - to put it bluntly, Bai Changqi and others are desperate for their lives.
It will not be until about the end of the year that the Buddha light relics and other things are transferred outside the city, and this large village of seven entrances will be fully developed.
As for the current renovation of the garden, it is to receive rare birds and beasts from the Daolu Division.
Among those rare birds and beasts, there are many alien species that have expanded in size and strength, and in order to prevent them from escaping, the transformation work to be carried out is not idle.
Especially in this cold winter wax moon.
It is estimated that it will not be officially completed until the end of the year at the earliest.
After taking a turn in the back garden, the overseer was going to prepare materials and report them directly to Zhang Siwei, and Wang Shouye turned back to the West Courtyard.
Since the core business of the alien beast was moved to the backyard, this western courtyard has obviously been a lot deserted.
The most important thing is that the spirit of hard work triggered by Xu Ge Lao at the beginning is also cooling rapidly.
This is not conducive to the development of new internal defenders.
Seemingly......
It's time for a new project.
It's a pity that the Fire Tribulation Crystal is still being sealed, otherwise......
While thinking about the next research direction, Wang Shouye ordered someone to open the door of the morgue in the West Chamber.
Joe's in the tub is still lifelike.
And her belly was nearly two-thirds larger than ten days ago.
Some people should believe that this is seven or eight months, right?
And she was sealed in the bath tub for more than 20 days.
If this is the inference, won't the baby be officially born at the beginning of next month?
Wait a minute!
Wang Shouye suddenly realized a serious problem.
As a cold corpse, it is obviously impossible for Qiao's to have any physiological reactions such as contractions and broken amniotic water.
So how will she give birth to the child then?
Do you want to give birth by caesarean section?
But how can we be sure that the fetus in her body has completely matured?
If you act rashly, the result is premature birth and premature death, and all the costs paid in front of you will not be wasted?
Maybe......
Should I ask a gynecologist or something to help me judge?
Or find a stable woman?
"Your Excellency."
Wang Shouye was groaning when he suddenly heard someone outside the door calling respectfully.
Looking back, it was the internal guard colonel who was in charge of guarding the courtyard gate.
"What?"
"Ma Shoubei has something to look for you, it looks like he's in a hurry."
What is Ma Gui looking for himself to do at this time?
Suspiciously, he found the outside of the hospital, and saw Ma Gui wandering around there.
As soon as he saw Wang Shouye come out on his own, he immediately greeted him and said, "Brother, can you lend me those livestock raised in the backyard first?" ”
"You mean those military horses sent by the Ministry of War?"
"Yes, yes, yes, as for those military horses, if you choose a strong body and don't lose anything, you will borrow forty or fifty horses for my brother first!"
"There are only fifty good horses in all."
Wang Shouye rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then said with a straight face: "It's okay to borrow, but Brother Chongzhi, you have to at least give me a reason, right?" After all, that horse is not our mountain and sea supervisor, and it has to be ......."
"Whew!"
Without waiting for Wang Shouye to finish speaking, Ma Gui stomped his feet in annoyance and scolded: "Du Teniang was forced by those second ancestors - the big insect that fell from the sky at the beginning, do you remember?" ...... the other day"
Listening to Ma Gui's eloquent story, Wang Shouye knew the reason.
At the beginning, the black giant monster insect escaped the fate of being dismembered and sent outside the city because of its tough skin and invulnerability, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was dead or alive.
In the end, the Shanhai Supervisor just sent more people to block the alley.
As a result, a few days ago, I didn't know what was going on, but a group of gentlemen came to the door, wanting to see what the monster insect looked like that day.
The guards in charge of guarding naturally did not dare to let them in without permission.
So he sent Pegasus to the yamen.
At that time, it was Hu Xianzhong, who was in charge of foreign guards, who came forward to deal with the matter.
But after Hu Xianzhong arrived, instead of stopping the group of gentlemen, he welcomed them into the courtyard, far from being addicted.
As soon as this opening was opened, when the group of gentlemen called their friends to come over and take a look at the rarity, the guards naturally did not dare to stop it.
came and went, but the group of gentlemen became more and more bold.
This morning I tried to dig out a stinger or tentacle from the strange worm.
As a result, I don't know what it touched, and seven or eight died at once......
"Seven or eight dead?!"
Wang Shouye was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Who are the people who died?!" ”
Hu Xianzhong was also the envoy of Yulinwei at the beginning, and the master who could let him take the risk to meet the horse was definitely not far behind.
Seven or eight died at once......
I'm afraid I'm going to get into big trouble?!
"It's all subordinate slaves, how can those second ancestors have the courage to get closer?" Ma Gui shook his hand helplessly: "But no matter how you say it, there are seven or eight dead people, and Lao Hu is afraid that he will be completely confused this time." ”
As he spoke, he pouted into the lobby: "He's being interrogated by the three halls right now, and he hasn't had time to clean up the mess - no, Lord Supervisor just ordered me to get that bug out of the city, so as not to hurt anyone." ”
It turned out that he borrowed the cattle to pull the worm out of the city.
"This ......"
Wang Shouye frowned and said, "How did those people die?" If it affects the military horses, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the military department. ”
"Who knows how he died? But it's okay to be far away anyway, and I'll just make the rope longer then. ”
Wang Shouye asked again: "I don't know how he died, didn't Brother Chongzhi try to check it?" ”
Ma Gui spread his hands: "I wanted to investigate, but soon after those people died, the bodies disappeared out of thin air, and when I arrived, there was a pile of rags left, and there was nowhere to check if I wanted to!" ”
"Disappeared into thin air?"
Wang Shouye became more and more interested at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Then what are the signs and symptoms before they die?" ”
"Hey, brother!"
Ma Gui slapped his thigh and said hurriedly: "Lord Jianzheng asked me to transport that thing out of the city today, if this delay continues, brother, I will have to carry Lao Hu on his back!" You wait for me to ship it out, and then you can check it as much as you want! ”
As he spoke, he picked up Wang Shouye and was about to rush to the backyard.
"Brother Chongzhi is slow."
Wang Shouyi was pulled by him and staggered a few steps, and it was easy to stabilize his figure, and he hurriedly said: "Have you forgotten that the reason why those things fell from the sky may have been suppressed by something in the city?" ”
Ma Gui paused, turned back suspiciously, and said, "You mean ......?"
"What if that thing suddenly comes to life when it's out of town? Not to mention the unclear means of killing, with its size and a body of stingers, if it really wants to come back to life, I'm afraid it won't kill seven or eight people. ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"It's not too late for me to talk to Lord Prison and at least make thorough preparations before transporting it out of the city."
