Chapter 106: Soul Grass
The rat's two front paws were folded in front of him, and he squatted on his hind legs, his head tilted, and although his body could not move, his small eyes that glowed green were still spinning.
"What glowing green eyes!" Xiao Yu'er seemed a little excited, she thought it was funny, a mouse with a green glow in one eye, and Youzi Fang was in thought.
When Youzifang was thinking, Xiaoba didn't say a word and didn't bother him, Xiaoyu'er looked left and looked at it because of curiosity, and even wanted to reach out to touch the mouse a few times, but Xiaoba stopped her, Xiaoba asked her to watch obediently, and wait for Youzifang to come up with something.
The room was filled with sandalwood, and a few people sat around the table, watching an immobile mouse, and the scene was really comical.
You Zifang, who had been thinking about something, frowned, and just when Xiao Yu'er was a little impatient and wanted to find something else to play, You Zifang's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, and a sudden feeling of enlightenment appeared on his face.
"This rat has eaten soul grass!" You Zifang said with some surprise.
"Soul grass? What is that" Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Hachi asked together, and Xiao Yu'er tilted her head and asked.
"Soul grass is a unique plant in some mountains of Nanqiu, some books record that the mountains of Nanqiu, there is a strange grass, the rhizome is short, and its leaves resemble chicken feet, so it is also called chicken claw grass, it stands to reason that it should not appear here, this soul grass is very magical, in the mountains full of soul grass, few animals will enter it, because those animals will instinctively avoid this plant"
"If an animal eats this soul grass, then the animal's eyes will glow green, and it will not sleep and not feel tired, and if you eat more soul grass, not only will it not be tired, but it will not even feel pain, and its body function will be greatly enhanced."
"Although the soul grass has such a miraculous effect, but its side effects are even more terrible, the animal life that eats the soul grass will accelerate the passage of life, sleeplessness, and the substantial enhancement of body functions are all overdrawn life in exchange, according to some books, the soul grass can paralyze some internal organs in the body of the organism, will continue to stimulate the meridians, accelerate the circulation of blood aura, and the body temperature will always be kept at a high temperature, so if I guess correctly, this mouse should have a very high body temperature"
As he spoke, You Zifang reached out and touched the motionless green-eyed mouse on the table, and sure enough, the tentacles were warm, and you could feel its body temperature very high through the fur.
"This rat should have eaten the soul grass for a long time, its body temperature is constantly rising, or it won't be long before it will become more and more excited, manic, until it dies" You Zifang looked at the mouse in front of him a little weirdly and said, Xiao Yu'er was very curious, and wanted to touch it, but after hearing what You Zifang said, he became very honest and sat on the stool, looking at the mouse on the table with some fear.
"You said that the soul grass is a product of Nanqiu, this is the hinterland of Nanqiu, and it is almost close to Bazhou, and the soul grass appears here, obviously someone got it" Xiao Ba didn't speak just now, and after listening to Youzifang's narration, he said with a brief analysis.
"That's right, there must be someone who transported the soul grass from Nanqiu, this rat probably stole some of it in the place where the soul grass was stored, and it became like this" You Zifang agreed with Xiao Ba's guess, this soul grass is not a good thing, since this mouse can steal the soul grass, it means that the place where the soul grass is stored is near here.
Xiao Hachi and You Zifang glanced at each other, and seemed to have thought of something.
"Xiaoba, this Changyuan Liu family is specialized in business, it can't be that they got it, right?" You Zifang asked in a low voice with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Very likely" Xiao Ba also thought so in his heart, listening to You Zifang say this, he remembered that at Mrs. Liu's place, Mrs. Liu wanted to speak and stopped, I am afraid that this soul grass is not far from ten, it was Liu Yongxi who got it.
Just when the little eight and a few people were talking in a low voice in the guest room, they were far away on Ba Street, two streets away, in the Chen Mansion, in the antique and elegantly decorated main hall.
Two men knelt on the ground paved with sour branches, their voices trembling and saying something, and in front of them sat a man with his eyes closed, holding a pair of walnuts in his unicorn official hat in his hands, which had been wrapped in oars.
"Our Chen family's goods can be lost, do you know how ridiculous this is" The man sitting with walnuts crossed his hand stopped, his eyes opened, and a trace of anger flashed, this person is the manager of the Chen Mansion in Rongcheng, Chen Quan.
Seeing that the people in the seat were angry, the two people below trembled, lowered their heads and whispered, "Master, we are just small slaves transporting goods, there were really ghosts on the dock last night!" Speaking of this, the two seemed to remember what happened last night, and their bodies trembled even more violently.
When the man on the seat heard this, he put two beautifully coated walnuts on the tea table, looked at the two kneeling on the ground in front of him with slightly squinted eyes, and said, "There are ghosts?" What kind of ghost dares to rob my Chen family's things, even if it is a ghost, it has to be caught and killed! ”
Chen Quan was very annoyed, and he thought back to what the two had just said
The two brothers were about to get on the boat to unload the new batch of fine tea that arrived last night, but suddenly a ghost came out of the water, pounced on them, and killed the boatman on the spot, and the brothers had to abandon the ship and run away, and when the morning dawned and called a few brothers to go back to see it, the cargo ship was gone, and the ghost and the boatman were on board, so there was no trace of it.
A boatload of good tea was lost like this, and he, the head of Rongcheng, was primarily responsible, this ship of good tea was supposed to be transferred through Rongcheng, and then transported to Fucheng, Wangdu, and Bazhou by land, but now it was all lost, how could he not be annoyed, and it was unimaginable that someone dared to rob the Chen family's things in this southern legacy.
Everyone in the south knows that they first dominated the Chen family, and there was an immortal, even if it is a famous family, everyone is a big family, and they have to bend down and salute when they see it, how can anyone dare to beat their Chen family's idea.
The two people in front of them don't seem to have told a lie, the means of coercion and temptation have been used, and no matter how much they are pressed, they have no intention of asking, thinking of this, Chen Quan waved his hand helplessly, signaling the two to retreat, and when the two saw that they could retreat, they both kowtowed a few heads, thanked Chen Quan loudly, and used their hands and feet out of the main hall.
After the two retreated, a middle-aged man in a black coat walked out from behind the screen in the main hall, came to Chen Quan's right hand, and sat on another main seat.
Chen Quan, who was still imposing just now, became very restrained after this person appeared, and his eyes saluted the other party respectfully.
