Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 289

Jing Shi was in low spirits at first, but when he heard the bad news, he immediately forgot about his trivial matters, arrested him and said, "What's going on?"

Gu'erwan's hands and feet danced wildly, creaking continuously, he was so anxious that he forgot to speak Lu Zhong's words.Fortunately, Jing Shi had already learned the local dialect of Yanfu, now he heard it roughly, and knew that it was Huanzhou who sent people to search the mountains all night, and finally found Wuma's relics in the mountain stream, and found out that he was dead.

Yan people are born of water, and after death, they also turn into clear water, leaving no trace of corpses.Jing Shi heard what Gu'er Wan said, but he was suspicious, and asked: "You just said that he was killed by someone, where did you start?"

Gu'erwan recovered his breath, and said in land language: "I was looking for him together with other people. When I saw his clothes fell on the bottom of the stream, I thought he had stumbled and fell down. But when I looked farther outside, I saw a black bird." Ka is also dead, it's so insane, it must not have fallen to his death."

After thinking about it for a while, Jing Shi knew that Wu Kan was a young pig raised by Wu Ma.The beast was originally an ordinary animal in the mountains, so he could leave the corpse. He asked, "Where is the relic of Wuma now?"

Gu'er Wan said: "I have been taken back to Zhongcun by Lao Huo Zhou."

Jing Shi immediately said: "Let's go back now."

Gu'erwan saw that Wuma died unexpectedly, and the reason was strange, and he thought about the safety of Jingshi.As soon as others came, he got away to look for Jingshi.He didn't know much about Wuma's future, but he heard that Jingshi wanted to return to the village, it was better than staying in the mountains, so he immediately agreed and led the way back to Zhongcun.

Jing Shi stayed on the island for a few months and was already very familiar with the roads in the mountains, but because he was unwell in the morning and the snowy trails in the mountains were difficult to walk, he just stayed where he was and waited.At this moment, when he first heard the bad news, he no longer cared about his own abnormal condition, and hurriedly waded through the snow and pulled mountains, returning to Zhongcun.

When the two entered the village, they saw that the atmosphere in the village was panic, and all the people were whispering to each other, gathered around the house of the abandoned boat.Gu'erwan came forward and shouted to drive him away, only then did he open the way so that Jingshi could enter the house, and he guarded himself in front of the curtain of the house to prevent outsiders from listening.

Jingshi lifted the curtain and entered the house, but saw that the room was brightly lit, and the abandoned boat stood alone in the corner, looking down at something with his back.Hearing the commotion outside the door, he just turned around and saw Jing Shi, saluted and said: "Your Excellency is here." His expression was as calm as usual.

Jing Shi stepped forward quickly, went through the etiquette in a hurry, and cut straight to the point: "I heard that Wuma, the dead official, died in the mountains, and Wuka, his domesticated animal, also died. Can Mr. Fei Zhou take care of his two belongings?"

Fei Zhou said: "It's at my place." After saying that, he stepped aside, revealing a wooden basket in the corner, covered with a straw mat and linen cloth, and there was a faint stench coming out.Jing Shi uncovered the cloth, and first looked at a ball of black cloth on the top, which was wet and wrinkled, vaguely as if it was worn by Wu Ma on weekdays.Then he borrowed a thin stick and lifted the black cloth out of the basket, just as he lifted it to mid-air, a heavy object fell out from the bottom of the cloth and landed with a bang.Jing Shi took a closer look, and saw that the object was round on the outside and square on the inside, shining brightly, like a silver coin with scales and snake lines engraved on it.I bent down to pick it up, only to realize that there was something attached to the coin itself, which was actually a piece of minced meat the size of a fingertip.Black and shriveled, shaped like the tip of a tongue.

Seeing the strange shape of this thing, Jing Shi couldn't help being surprised, he handed the money to Fei Zhou and said, "Mister, do you know what this thing is?"

Huo Zhou took a closer look, shook his head and said, "There is no money in our country, so I don't know what it is for. Since I found it in the black clothes, it must be his private possession."

Jing Shi said: "The tongue is dead on the coin, sir, do you know the origin?"

Huan Zhou still shook his head, paused and said: "It's not uncommon for people in our country to occasionally have incomplete hydration after death, and it takes several months to hydrate. This tongue is probably owned by Wuma, It just couldn’t be exhausted.”

Jing Shi said: "If it is owned by Wuma, the size is not suitable." But he suddenly remembered that Wuma had another head under his chin, which was his brother's stillbirth.If this silver coin is hidden in its mouth, the size is exactly the same.But looking at the close adhesion of the silver coin and the dead tongue, it is obvious that they have been placed together for many years. If Wuma put it by himself, he does not know what he did.Suspecting that this was a fluke funeral, he asked the waste boat, but the waste boat said: "Since we don't use money in our country, there is no such custom of including money." His tone was very firm.

The two discussed for a while, but they still didn't know the origin of the silver coin, so they put it aside on the table and went to look at the relics at the bottom of the basket.I saw a hatchet stuck in the basket, which was used by Wu Ma on weekdays.There were another six or seven pieces of dead meat, the stench filled the air, because it was freezing cold, it hadn't rotted yet.He took out the thorn stones one by one and pieced them together, and it really turned out to be the little black pig Wuka.Trying to examine the wound, you can see that the fracture is smooth, although the torso is split, the viscera are frozen in place and have not fallen out, it must be the result of a sharp weapon.In particular, there was one injury, which was cut across from the hip to the mouth.

Wuka was originally a juvenile dolphin, its body height was not as high as a mainlander's knee, and even with the stature of a Yanmin, one could overlook its back.If you kill him with a sharp blade, you should stab the back with the blade, or cut the neck to bleed blood. Such a flat cut and horizontal cut is really against common sense. Thinking wildly, he only told Fei Zhou about this matter, and asked: "Sir, is there such a way of slaughtering animals in the middle of the country to sacrifice to the Sea God?"

Fei Zhou shook his head and said, "The sacrificial offerings in our country are different from those on land. There has never been a ritual of offering three animals."

Jing Shi deserved a cry, looked at the corpse for a long time, finally put it in the basket and covered it with a mat.He went out to wash his hands and face, then returned to the waste boat and asked: "This is the end of the matter, what is Mr. Fei Zhou thinking?"

The waste boat leaned on a stick and walked slowly in the room. After a long time, he sat at the table and said slowly: "The people in our country, when Yuanshou is approaching, must feel it in their hearts, and they will go to the death officials to name them. It is rare to be careless. Wrong time. However, if the weather changes suddenly and there is a danger at sea, there will also be those who have not yet reached their end of life and died early. This is a common thing. Although it is a pity that Wuma died on land, it is not as good as returning to the sea, but in the future Rise of the clouds and fall of the rain is also a general burial. You don't have to worry about it."

Hearing what he said, Jing Shi felt astonished that he wanted to let this matter go lightly and not pursue it any further.Immediately said: "If the death is accidental, it would be difficult for manpower. But what I have seen today is a human-made disaster, why does Mr. Fei Zhou ignore it?"

Huan Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Your Excellency, I think I have heard what Hun'er of the Gu'er Wan said, so I can draw conclusions from this. That Hun'er has always been impetuous and reckless, and his words are often exaggerated, so you don't have to believe them."

Jing Shi said: "I didn't listen to what he said, but I saw Wuka's death like this, and it was definitely not caused by a wild beast. Since it died from a strange cause, I'm afraid Wuma didn't die because of a mistake."

Huo Zhou murmured silently, but responded: "My lord, did you ever think that it was Wu Ma who killed the animal, and then fell off the cliff? Although there are many villages on my island, there are more than a dozen people living in the wild like bone bowls. Maybe Wuma stumbled and fell to his death, and his animals wandered into other places, but were killed by those who passed by."

Jing Shi slightly frowned and said, "Why did he kill Wu Kaduo when he kept him? As for Wu Ma who died first, and Wu Ka was killed by outsiders later, this matter is a coincidence. If you feel this way, you can also call the wild residents on the island to come one by one. Just ask, and you will know.”

Huo Zhou shook his head in response, and said again: "If your lord wants to do this, it's all right." But his attitude was very indifferent, he didn't care at all.Although Jing Shi is indifferent by nature, he doesn't like to argue with others, he doesn't want to waste the boat, but he regards life and death as nothing. If we don't investigate this matter, what should we do if someone else dies in the future?"

Huan Zhou lowered his eyes half closed and said: "If this is the case, the changes that have not been seen on our island for hundreds of years may not be caused by the islanders. They are old and dim, but let the adults make decisions."

Since he said this, Jing Shi had no words to respond.But wanting to get angry, it was useless in the end, so he calmed down and said in a normal way: "In this case, I will investigate it myself. But if you are still in doubt, ask Mr. Yi, and I hope you can tell me."

Huo Zhou replied: "I should know that I will say everything."

Jing Shi nodded silently, and said: "Wuma was originally the death officer on the island. Now that he died suddenly, who do you want to replace?"

Fei Zhou said: "I originally asked Taohua, big and small, to take over the post of official of death and medicine. Although the incident happened suddenly today, there is no better candidate. I just asked Taohua to pack up and move to the turret in the forest tonight to take over the post of death. official."

Jing Shi didn't expect him to choose someone to replace him, but he acted so swiftly and decisively. Although the people in the village gathered and discussed, they rarely showed any signs of sadness, and felt that this country despises death.After all, he is an outsider, he has no reason to force himself into the affairs of the people, so he can only say: "I will listen to Mr. Fei Zhou's arrangement." Then he stood up and asked to resign.Outside the gate of the waste boat, I saw Da Taohua carrying her luggage, hugging and caressing Xiao Taohua, and bid farewell to each other, feeling very reluctant to part.At present, they stood quietly in front of the gate, looking at each other from a distance, and it was not until Da Taohua left the village that they were included in the official inn.
