Jiang Lai knew that the mayor of the town said this for her own good.

But she had to get a ferry ticket to stay alive.

Wouldn't it mean killing yourself to leave here?

Therefore, she stopped the mayor with a righteous face.

"Don't persuade me anymore. As a member of the delegation, I shouldered the responsibilities entrusted to me by the state. It is my responsibility to calm down all the turmoil here and lead the villagers on the road of peace, joy, happiness and prosperity. ”

Jiang Lai also knew that he couldn't push too hard and stiffen the relationship now, so he found that the mayor and the others chose to keep their mouths shut, and they didn't say anything more.

The group of them quickly walked to the place where Jiang Lai had noticed the unusual smell before.

"Right here, let's start digging." Jiang Lai said as he drew a cross on the wet dirt floor with the blind cane in his hand as a mark.

A few servants with tools, look at me, I look at you, and asked confusedly, "My lord, what do you want us to dig?" ”

This place...... I'm afraid I can only dig up the roots of the bitter orange tree, right?

Several servants looked at Jiang Lai, but saw Jiang Lai smile mysteriously at them.

"Treasure digging, of course! Treasures, there is no mystery when you say it. How bad. ”

The others looked at each other.

Over here...... Treasure?!

How can it be!

Jiang Lai winked at them without focus.

"Next, good luck to you!"

Seeing that she was serious, the officials who came with the mayor exchanged glances with each other.

Is there really any treasure here?

If there's a treasure at all, it's the town's treasure.

When the time comes, they will inevitably have a piece of the pie.

Thinking about it this way, some people even began to secretly look forward to it, as if even the terrible impact of the tragedy that happened in the villa had weakened.

"Listen to your lordship, and you can get to work." The mayor commanded.

Three servants took hoes and shovels and began to dig.

Because the soil here is wet with mud soaked in heavy rain, it is relatively easy to excavate.

The three sturdy manservants dug quickly, and it didn't take long to dig a pit more than a meter deep.

But they still haven't found anything.

"My lord, are you sure there is treasure here?" One of the servants asked, wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead.

"Yes. Now you're close to the treasure. Dig a little more and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Jiang Lai said.

As she was talking, she saw a servant with an excited expression and said, "My lord, I have dug something!" ”

"Well, that's good. Dig slowly and don't damage the treasure. Jiang Lai said: "You dig up the treasure, and the town chief will definitely give you a great credit." ”

The three servants became agitated when they heard this, and their digging began to become more cautious.

Before long, the mayor and other officials saw that the surface of the land had a faint, amber-like color......

As the excavation progresses, more and more amber is revealed.

Everyone smelled a clear, faint, peculiar aroma.

After smelling this faint fragrance, everyone was in high spirits.

The scent made them believe what Jiang Lai said.

There may really be treasure buried here!

"Be careful, don't spoil the treasure!" An official hurriedly commanded.

However, it didn't take long for the servant, who was digging, to let out a terrified scream.

"Ahh This...... What is this? ”

The shovel in the servant's hand lifted off most of the covered soil layer at once, so that everyone could see clearly the true face of Lushan, which Jiang Lai called a "treasure", exuding a faint aromatic and light amber thing!

It turned out to be the corpse of an unknown animal!

The corpse had been disposed of in some special way, which seemed very strange.

When most of the body was exhumed, the faint aroma became clearer.

The smell is different from the botanical aroma of the bitter orange tree, but with a hint of animal fat.

However, the heavy feeling does not make people feel disgusting and greasy, but has a touch of elegance.

"Wow! See what you find! ”

Xiao Ai went online and began to explain.

"What appears in front of you is the corpse of a cat with no fur. Its entire body is encased in a pale layer of amber pulp. This slurry isolates oxygen from the outside world, making the corpse as if it is sealed with wax, gaining an incorruptible effect, and it is very well preserved, completely maintaining the condition of the moment of its death. ”

"Xiao Ai believes that if this method of preserving corpses were sold to the ancient Egyptians, they would definitely spare no expense."

"Note that this is not the carcass of a hairless cat. It was the murderer who killed the cat, and by extremely cruel means, while it was still alive, stripped off its fur and artificially created a body without fur. ”

"The corpse's fur, armpits, four feet, and an organ that, judging by the eyes of this actuary, would have been cut off by a precise technique. The tool used by the killer was a sharp and light scalpel, the same weapon used by the unlucky ghost in the villa when his throat was cut. ”

"Xiao Ai made a special reminder. Judging by the physical condition, the poor cat, when all this happened, the poor cat had just given birth to a litter of kittens and was still lactating. Let us observe three minutes of silence in memory of the tragic slain mother. ”

Jiang Lai was silent for a while, and suddenly communicated with Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, please identify the value of the layer of amber pulp on the outside of the cat's corpse." ”

Before Xiao Ai could answer, Jiang Lai heard the voice of the system first.

"Congratulations to player 00009 for discovering the hidden clues and obtaining the system reward item, Perfume: Beloved. Description: With this perfume, you will gain the love of monsters and attract monsters from a radius of five miles. The duration of the effect is half an hour. ”

Jianglai: Σ (っ°Д°; )っ

system, are you sure that what I got was a reward and not a punishment?!

Such a reward is simply outrageous, okay!

Xiao Ai's voice sounded, "Praise for your cleverness!" The outer layer of pulp on the outside of the cat's carcass is a very special substance. That's beluga whale. It has a high value. As long as it is a small 10 milliliters, it can be sold for a high price of 500 US dollars...... As a reminder, please abide by the Wildlife Protection Law, no buying, no killing. ”

The corpse of a female cat who had just given birth to a kitten after being stripped of her fur, cut off her four feet, removed from her armpits and some organs, and wrapped in expensive beluga whale blubber......

Jiang Lai's unfocused eyes stared at the specially treated cat's corpse, standing there motionless.
