247 Kill a flock of marmots halfway through
Looking at the hills and ravines, the gentle face was a little more angry, and after a few of us looked at each other, we hurriedly followed out, and Qing Cang ran in front, and when we reached a narrow dirt pit, all of us stopped.
This pit, it seems that Shangsha is simple and ordinary, and as far as Xin'er is concerned, it can also be easily dug out.
In fact, it wasn't as casual as I thought, and I learned from the mouth of the hill that it was the work of a groundhog.
All the earthworms present turned into wishes and went into the pit together, and a few of us could only be discouraged.
After a while, Uncle Wang came with a lantern and explained to us why they were so nervous.
In fact, he didn't say it, but I also knew a little about it, groundhogs, as the name suggests, like to dig all kinds of strange burrows and build their own kingdoms under what we don't see.
They love to eat grass, and although they are hungry, they eat a lot. This is the opposite of the earthworm family.
They cultivate lawns in the hope of keeping the soil and water moist so that they can live and reproduce.
If the number of marmots grows indefinitely, it is undoubtedly a threat to earthworms.
We waited a long time on the grass until we saw Hill Gully leading his men out, and through the kerosene lamps we could see, each of them carrying an adult marmot in his hand.
It turns out that not all animals here can become spirits and demons, and they need cultivation and opportunities to do so.
Clearly, the groundhog is not up to the mark.
Then, that doesn't mean they can't speak.
"Gakigaji, let go of my brother!" said a majestic groundhog as he struggled.
The sound was beyond my expectations. I took a cautious step forward, bent down, and whispered, "You ate all that grass?"
It blew its mustache at me and glared, tugging at the corners of its mouth, and then began to grin and whew, "Our wife is giving birth to a baby down there, you let them get rid of us." 」
"Baby?"
"yes, yes, let us go. 」
All the marmots said in unison.
"Qiu Yu, I think it's better for you to let them go for the time being, otherwise, if something happens down there, they will definitely hate you. 」
Xie Bi'an: "That's right, it's not a trivial matter. 」
Fan Wusu didn't hold back and said, "It's not too late to ask later. 」
Wen'er also began to persuade Qiu Yu, and he moved his heart of compassion and ordered all the marmots to be released, but he put forward a condition that one of the earthworm tribes should follow.
After three hours, Qing Cangcai, who had followed him, came back and brought us the news that several female marmots had given birth successfully, and that he had brought one of their representatives with him.
It stood in the doorway and refused to take half a step closer to us, and its two paws touched its eyes from time to time, and after looking at it for a moment, I realized that it was wiping tears.
I sat down in my place and asked in a soft voice why it was sad, and it replied that it was tears of joy that it had finally become a father.
Hearing this, a few of us, the previous dislike began to gradually disperse.
Qiu Yu's face also eased a lot, returning to his previous calm and gentleness.
I asked, "Is it difficult for your wife to get pregnant?"
It was a little shy, and lowered its head in a hurry, "No, we have to dig tunnels every day, maybe the amount of activity is too much, and the child in the womb will die before it has time to form. 」
Xie Bi'an was puzzled and angry, and said, "In that case, why do you still want your wife to work?"
It replied, "It's something we can't control. 」
"Anyway. I ask you, you have eaten the whole meadow to the west?" asked Qiu Gully solemnly.
"Sort of. 」
The anger in Qiu Yu's heart had not yet been extinguished, and after this moment, he immediately rushed to the top of his head, "We have warned you three times and twice, if you want to live here, you must know how to do it
Since you are not righteous, don't blame us for being unkind. 」
After saying that, Qiu Gully ordered Qing Cang to take it out to destroy the corpse.
"Wait, don't be angry yet, you can discuss everything, don't kill or anything at every turn. I said, my hand already grasping Qingcang's arm, and my eyes on the marmot.
"I know of something that will make them atone for their sins. After speaking, he glanced at the hill and ravine with a smile, "Didn't the two old men say before, maybe there are the corpses of lingering ghosts underground, but you haven't found them, if the earth slope rat family finds them, won't this matter be easy to solve?"
Hill Gully walked up to the dirt rat and crouched down, "It's easy to say, if they continue to breed endlessly, not only this meadow, but also other places will be destroyed. What do you mean by that?"
The earth slope rat didn't know either, puffed out its cheeks, and stared at the hills and ravines with two eyes.
I smiled and pulled up the hill, "It's easy to talk about this, you also know that it is not easy for earth slope rats to have children, if you are still worried, you might as well make a rule, that is, a husband and wife can only have two children at most, if you have more children, kill them and stew them and eat them, how about it?"
In the last sentence, I also had a heart for a while, and said it on purpose. Unexpectedly, Qiu Gully felt very satisfied, and nodded again and again, but it was the words of the earth slope rat, which frightened the cheeks even more.
"No, no, this method doesn't work, we ......" it jumped, "how can you restrict our conjugal life, it's not authentic to do so. 」
"Hahaha," Xie Bi'an laughed a few times, "You don't know that you can do security measures?"
Qiu Yan understood in seconds, coughed a few times, and threw Wen Er a look, and then she took out a small white wooden box from the back room.
Qiu Gully held the box and handed it to the Earth Slope Rat, "This is something that will keep you from having children in the future, you hurry up." 」
The Dirt Rat took the box in disbelief, but smiled shyly, and then agreed to our quid pro quo.
When the search began, by the next morning, all the earth rats and earthworms had been mobilized, and a skull, several phalanges, and four teeth had been found.
Fan Wusu glanced at it a few times, and all of them told us with certainty that these were not from the same person.
It was busy until noon, and our harvest was still the things mentioned above, and suddenly, I felt a little disappointed.
"It seems that this is a big project, and we need to hurry. Fan Wusu said.
"Actually, we're lucky to be able to find it, and in less than a week, it's nice to be able to gather a corpse. After I finished speaking, Xie Bi'an immediately said, "I agree with the girl's point of view this time, why don't we go back and resume our lives, and make it clear that there are no living lingering ghosts here?"
Nakshatra: "If you want to go back, you go back first, and I will continue to stay here and look for it." 」
We all looked at Yaksha, and we all felt that since he came here, it had become a little unrecognizable to us.
After some discussion, we agreed to go back to the Enma immediately to clarify the situation here.
When I arrived at the twin hall, I felt that my legs were a little weak, so I held Xie Bi'an's arm and walked in together.
It was during the rest of His Highness Enma, and he was a little surprised to see us, and when he got up, he almost touched the teacup on the wooden table.
"You're getting more and more productive, and coming back at this point in time is completely beyond my expectations. He laughed a few times, beckoned the attendants in the temple to stand down, and turned to continue, "The ghost you brought back has been handed over to the jailer?"
Seeing us shaking our heads together, he suddenly frowned, and immediately put down the teacup, "What's the matter?"
Fan Wushu: "We have not found a living lingering ghost. 」
Enma's nose wrinkled, "Really, what are you doing these days?"
"Back to Your Highness, although we didn't find the living, but we found the dead, I don't know if you're interested?"
He glared at me instantly
"Listen to what you mean, this trip is in vain. But what's the hell going on?"
We all said a word, and I said a word, and the context of the matter was clear, but after hearing this, the Enma still looked at us with a confused face.
"Fan Wu save you, you say, this thing is sure and certain?"
"Yes, yes, yes. 」
「......」
"What else do you know about this?"
"Nothing else. 」
"No, Zhong Kui tells us word by word that there are constantly *** people who sneak out to scourge the underworld, and this thing shouldn't not exist. It's you," the Enma's face was clouded, "Aren't you being played?"
"Impossible. I immediately retorted, "We've been together for three or two days, and if they lied, wouldn't any of us see it?"
"Zou Zhou, did I let you speak?"
"Nope. 」
"Shut up, no one thinks you're dumb. After saying that, Enma looked at Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuxu, "This matter is related to our honor and safety, you two must investigate the matter clearly, and then report back to me at the end." 」
"Your Highness, Enma, you are completely difficult for a strong man. Xie Bi'an said aggrievedly.
"What? After you and Zou Zhou were together, how did you become like her? If I pay you, you will do things for me, this is a matter of course, do you understand now?"
"Cut. 」
"Zou Zhou, you're out of the ranks. 」
"What for?"
"When this matter is dealt with, I will only prepare a reward for you, and if you don't disdain it, I can replace your work with someone else now. Enma said with a tense face.
"Yes, yes, you're the biggest, we're all imps. I didn't say angrily.
"Alright, you can go back. Enma shook his hand at us impatiently, as if he wanted to shake off his snot.
Out of the Twin Palace, we walked a few steps, and I grabbed Xie Bi'an's hand, "Do you want to go to Zhong Kui now and ask, is he mistaken?"
