Father Mavie

Chapter 90 Anti-rat medicine (ask for tickets and follow up!!!)
black gas!

Hearing these two words, Ma Wei immediately had several guesses in his mind.

but
Before making a deduction, he felt that he still needed to collect more information, so he squatted in front of the pile of dead mice and asked Levin to pierce the soft belly of a mouse.

The sharp blade easily cut through the skin, but only a small amount of blood flowed out.

There is no black air.

"what?"

Levin said in surprise: "I did see a black air just now! I'm not lying!"

"Cut a few more."

"it is good."

The blade pierced the skin of one mouse after another. At first everything was normal until the skin of the seventh mouse was broken.
A wisp of black air, so thin that it couldn't be thinner, rose slowly and dissipated in an instant, unable to maintain its shape.

"That's the thing!" Levine cried.

"I've seen it."

Ma Wei pondered and said: "Before you came to New Rose City, there was a plague in New Rose City because of the rats carrying these black qi, and many people died, Junia said, this is a curse. "

"curse?"

"Well, because there were very few clues at the time, and there were no similar situations in other cities, so I can't judge the source of the curse. Now there are mice carrying curses in Wexford City."

It has been a full 10 days since the outbreak of the plague, but the curse has only appeared in Wexford City. Does this mean that Wexford City is not the birthplace of the curse?
Not only that, but the curse is estimated to have spread from other places.

"The number of mice carrying curses is very small. Based on the size of the mice in this apartment, it only accounts for 1% of the total number of mice in Wexford City." Ma Wei said: "The curse is very thin, almost negligible. It is also the map of the reason why rats have not attacked humans so far!"

After subconsciously shouting, Ma Wei realized that this was not at sea, and he was not the deputy commander. He knocked on his forehead, got up and took out a rolled-up blueprint from the bag on the sofa.

A complete map of Wexford County was spread out on the floor. Mavi pointed to the location of New Rose City on the far left, and suddenly slid to Wexford City on the far right of the map, and clicked twice ,explain:

"The straight-line distance between New Rose City and Wexford City is about 30 kilometers. Assuming that the birthplace of the curse is near New Rose City, it means that with New Rose City as the center, all cities within a radius of 30 kilometers , there will basically be a curse phenomenon.”

"What do you want to say?"

"I would like to say that if the curse is a human factor, then the identity of the other party is probably related to the church. Their purpose is to use the holy water to lift the curse, so as to gain the prestige of the people." Ma Wei pondered: "But this is just my personal guess , using the curse to gain prestige is too insane, and their speed is too fast, you know, the day before the curse happened, the gods just descended!"

"You suspect that the curse is not man-made?"

Raising his eyebrows, Levin's eyes became uncertain.

Ma Wei's guess is really appalling.

There are two ways of birthing the curse:
1, artificial

2. Non-artificial
If not man-made, then who put the curse on the rats?
Compared with the second inference, Levine believes that the first inference is more likely.

The source of the curse is related to magic and has to be taken seriously.

Ma Wei thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The curse appeared in Wexford City, which is not good news for us. The rats in New Ross City have almost been killed, and the few remaining ones cannot be crossed within 10 days." Other cities and villages came to Wexford city in a targeted manner, and since there is a curse here, it means that the same situation has occurred in other cities.”

"But we didn't get any reports of the curse, and it wasn't in the papers," Levine said. "It's not normal."

"It's not just abnormal?" Ma Wei narrowed his eyes and said loudly, "I suspect that someone deliberately concealed the truth and did not report it!"

"Not at all. This is a bit too courageous! The curse is not the plague. It can be suppressed just by concealing the news and sealing off the infected area!"

"But most people regard the curse as the plague!"

Taking a deep breath, Ma Wei stood up: "I hope that no one will hide the news, otherwise something serious will happen. Let's go and have a look at the next few houses."

After finding a sack and putting all the dead mouse corpses in it, Ma Wei and Levin cleaned up the cat hair that fell in the house, eliminated all traces, checked carefully, and after making sure there were no flaws left, opened the windows to ventilate, and came to the upstairs. Down.

"Father!"

Mrs. Ant, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Ma Wei and the others coming downstairs, and immediately greeted them, her eyes resting on the sack in Levin's hand: "Is the work over?"

"ended."

Ma Wei winked at Levin, motioned him to open the sack, and asked Mrs. Ant to check: "All the mice in your house have been killed, but when I caught the mice, I found that there are many small holes and gaps in the house. Follow these holes, Mice can come and go as they please, and just in case, I have a good medicine here that will guarantee that there won't be any mice in the house for a month or two."

Although Mrs. Ant didn't speak, the sudden tense expression on her face had already revealed herself.

Needless to say, she must have felt that Ma Wei's routine was coming. There was no fee for catching mice, but there was a fee for the 'good medicine' later on. Isn't this also a kind of marketing method?

However.
"Don't worry, as I said, it's all free, and there is no charge for this good medicine."

"really?"

Mrs. Ant was taken aback for a moment, suspecting that she had heard it wrong: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you charge for it."

Waving his hand, Ma Wei was still thinking about the next few invitations, and didn't think about talking nonsense: "Do you have a handkerchief?"

"Have"

Mrs. Ant took out her white handkerchief and handed it over, not understanding what Marvie wanted this thing for.

"Wait a mininute."

Ma Wei lifted Xiao Hei's neck, returned to the corridor, and spread the handkerchief in front of it: "Quick, hurry up."

"Meow?"

Xiao Hei looked blank: "Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Sprinkle some urine on the handkerchief, don't use too much, save some."

"?"

"I don't have time to explain to you, pee quickly!"

"Oh got it meow"

Xiao Hei nodded, squatting on the handkerchief, his beard trembling, after a while
It suddenly said: "Master, don't look at me, I can't urinate."

Resisting the thought of slapping it on the head, Ma Wei turned his back, and soon, he smelled a strong smell of urine.

Much heavier than human urine.

Xiao Hei shivered, shook his hind legs twice, stretched out his claws, and started to plan instinctively.

Mavi pushed it aside, grabbed a corner of the handkerchief, and folded it carefully, resolutely not touching the stain in the middle.

"Mrs. Ant, this is the anti-rat medicine."

After leaving the corridor, Ma Wei returned the handkerchief to the original owner: "Although the smell is a bit strong, as long as you put it in the hole, the mouse will automatically escape."

"Oh"

Mrs. Ant nodded half-understanding: "How long can it last?"

"About a month."

"What about in a month?"

"Have a cat, Mrs. Ant." Ma Wei said softly, "As long as you have a cat, there will be no mice in the house."

"I see, thank you, Father."

"You are welcome, if you are satisfied with our rodent control work, please spread the word."

"No problem!" Mrs. Ant finally showed a smile on her face: "I have never seen a priest like you."

"I'll take this as your compliment to me."

Mavi raised his hat lightly, smiled at Mrs. Ant, pulled Junia up, and turned away with Levin and the cat people team.

Mrs. Ant kept watching them go away with a complicated expression.

"Church of Truth. Is this the church of our nation? What does it smell like?"

A foul smell suddenly rushed into her nostrils. Mrs. Ant looked left and right, and finally found that the strange smell came from her handkerchief.

After hesitating for a while, she still couldn't restrain her curiosity, lowered her head, and sniffed the handkerchief.

"vomit"
