Chapter 1147 It’s impossible to escape with wings (two chapters in one)
The street is very noisy, with an endless stream of passers-by and carriages coming and going.
Lin Li walked out of the medicine shop and stopped on the side of the road, thinking about whether to do this bounty mission.
“This matter is not simple.”
“Do you want to participate?”
An empty carriage suddenly appeared in the distance and was about to pass by Lin Li.
"The reward is quite generous, and if you participate in this bounty mission, you may be able to get information that you haven't heard of before."
Lin Li thought about it for half a minute, and then made a decision in his mind.
Then he raised his hand and gestured to the empty carriage not far away.
“Xu.”
The coachman was very skilled. When he saw a guest on the roadside wanting to ride in the car, he immediately pulled the reins and controlled the carriage to slow down and stop on the roadside.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Send me to the nearest city gate."
Lin Li told the coachman where to go, agreed on the price and got on the carriage. .
The coachman was a tall and strong man. After the guests were seated, he immediately drove the horses to gallop towards the city gate.
.........
More than ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the southern city of Shuanghe City.
According to the information provided by the drug store, Lingzhi is more than ten kilometers away, leaving from the southern city gate. It takes almost an hour to reach Lingzhi's area.
"Sir, we've arrived." After parking the carriage, the coachman said to the passengers in the car.
Lin Li opened the curtain and got out of the car, paid the fare, and was about to leave the city when he heard the coachman shouting.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
"What's the matter?"
"Are you going out of the city to find Lingzhi?"
"Yes, what are you doing? Do you know?"
The coachman explained with a smile, "A customer I drove before was just like you. He came out of the medicine shop and went outside the city to look for spiritual plants."
Lin Li asked, "What happened to that man?"
The smile on the coachman's face faded, "I don't know this, but I know that other people with the same purpose as him went out of the city to look for Lingzhi. , and didn't come back later."
"..." Lin Li fell silent.
The driver thought that what he said had scared Lin Li, so he raised his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Lin Li.
“I’m really sorry for ruining your good mood.”
Lin Li waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
"My guest, you must be careful when you go out of the city to look for spiritual plants."
"Thank you for the reminder."
"I have a paper map here, keep it. It’s useless, so I’ll give it to you.”
“I’m so sorry. How much does it cost?”
"It's not worth much, just keep it! Don't be polite to me."
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Li thanked the coachman and gave him a paper map. The car left and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
Standing at the gate of the city where people are coming and going, I can see the crowds of people coming and going, and I can’t see the end at a glance.
Lin Li opened the paper map in his hand and found that the map was very crude and did not contain much valuable information.
Of course, something is better than nothing.
Lin Li put away the map and went to the back of the queue to leave the city.
Time passed very quickly. Although there were many people leaving the city, it did not consume a lot of time.
Lin Li followed the people in front of him through the city gate and outside the city. He identified the direction based on the sun in the sky, and then walked towards his destination.
…………
A painful sound suddenly rang out in the quiet bedroom. Qin Muqing was lying on the bed with her right hand on her heart, enduring the pain that came as expected.
Although the pain did not last long this time, Qin Muqing was still exhausted from the pain and lay on the bed without wanting to move.
"Huh..."
The rapid breathing returned to calmness. Qin Muqing, who had rested for a while, felt less pain and began to stand up slowly.
The sunlight outside the window squeezes into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating light spots of different sizes on the floor.
This happens because the patterns on the curtains are of different sizes.
Qin Muqing sat on the bed, her right hand still placed on her heart.
After being in a daze for a few minutes, I put on my shoes and went to the window to open it.
Open the curtains and push the windows open, letting the sunshine from outside flood into the room, and at the same time, there is a warm breeze.
This new home is very strange, and I have to become familiar with many things again.
Qin Muqing lowered her head and looked at the courtyard, but did not see any birds perched on the trees in the courtyard.
I don’t know if there were no birds here originally, or if they were driven away early.
Qin Muqing left the bedroom and went to the kitchen on the first floor to prepare breakfast.
I fell ill not long ago, and I was in so much pain that I didn’t want to live.
Now that it was time to eat, Qin Muqing just wanted to eat something light.
I cooked some white rice porridge and fried two green vegetables.
Two dishes and one porridge, although very simple, Qin Muqing ate it with gusto.
“I don’t know when Lin Li will come back this time.”
“I’ll say goodbye to him when he comes back.”
Qin Muqing got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. After taking care of the hygiene, he has to clean the new home.
Now that you have decided to leave, there is no need to clean up so seriously.
Qin Muqing was not lazy and cleaned her new home seriously.
Lin Li helped her a lot, but currently she has nothing to repay, so she can only repay him through this kind of cleaning.
It took me a whole morning, but not all of the new home was cleaned.
It would take Qin Muqing at least two to three days to do it alone.
Based on previous experiences, Lin Liwai did not come back so soon.
After almost all the cleaning of the new home is completed, it is time for Lin Li to come back after leaving the house.
…………
Outside the city.
Lin Li was walking alone on the compacted dirt road.
Not long after, he saw many people appearing in front of him.
These people formed a team. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should be going for the same bounty mission as Lin Li.
Psychic energy fluctuations appeared behind him. Many people on the road stopped, then turned around and looked into the distance.
Lin Li saw a small black dot in the distance. Not long after, a winged figure came into view and flew over his head.
It is not very rare for humans to have bird wings growing on their backs.
When the crowd on the road saw the winged figure flying away, they immediately withdrew their gaze and continued chatting on their way.
However, not long after, psychic energy fluctuations appeared behind him again.
Not all the people on the road stopped this time, only a small number of people stopped to see what was going on out of curiosity.
"It's a black-feathered horse."
"This kind of horse is not cheap." "When I have money in the future, I will buy one too..."
The man riding the black-feathered horse flew in the sky, passing over everyone's heads.
“Can’t these people keep a low profile? Are they really not afraid of being targeted for being so blatant?” Lin Li complained.
…………
It took more than an hour for the people who came to look for Lingzhi outside the city to arrive at their destination one after another.
The hills are connected together, and the flowers, plants and trees grow very vigorously, forming a large shadow.
In many places, it is impossible to see clearly what is going on in the dark with the naked eye.
Lin Li came to a tall tree. He looked at the big tree in front of him and found that there were several tree holes in the big tree.
At this moment, the chirping of birds came from the tree hole.
If you look carefully, you will find that there are some smaller birds sticking their heads out of the tree holes, curiously looking at the humans who come here.
Lin Li observed the tree hole for a while, but saw no adult birds.
He looked back and took out a paper map from his pocket.
Although the paper map given by the coachman is crude and the descriptions of many places are vague, it is of great value to people who do not know this area.
Lin Li opened the paper map, and through the tree in front of him, he clarified the direction of his next action.
“Go in that direction to avoid direct contact with strange beasts.”
"Just now I saw a group of people walking in that direction ahead of me. I don't know if they bumped into each other by mistake, or if they have relevant information..."
…………
Blue Star, Rongcheng.
The time was approaching noon, and the bell for the end of get out of class rang on campus.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
The crisp bell echoed in the campus. Not long after, the teacher left the classroom and the students walked happily towards the cafeteria.
After attending classes all morning, many brain cells were consumed, and now most people’s stomachs are growling with hunger.
Su Yue just finished the work at hand. She tidied her things and waited for Wang Jiao, who was in class, to return to the office.
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and colleagues who had gone to class returned to the office one after another. Wang Jiao came to the table with the lesson plan and pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You look very tired. I haven't seen you like this before. Did something happen in class?" Su Yue asked.
"I just took a quiz in class, and more than half of the students failed," Wang Jiao said.
Hearing this, Su Yue suddenly understood and comforted the other party for a few words. Then the two of them left the teacher's office together and went to have lunch outside the school.
“Huh?”
On the way to lunch, Su Yue and Wang Jiao saw a few people wearing special work clothes, and they couldn’t help but feel confused.
“These people specialize in catching rats. Isn’t that big rat already dead? Why does the school still invite these people?”
"I guess the school leaders are worried that there are other big rats, so they asked them to search to make sure there are no hidden dangers."
"What you said is quite possible." Wang Jiao said with a smile. .
"I hope they don't find other big rats, so that we can be safer..." Su Yue said.
The two people walked out of the school gate, crossed the road, and walked to a nearby noodle shop.
While they were having their meal, a professional team of mouse catchers were searching the campus carefully.
"Brother Sun, I have searched here and found no trace of rats."
"Search again to make sure nothing is missed." said the leader of the rat-catching team.
“Okay.”
“Come here quickly.”
“What’s wrong?”
"I found a mouse hole here."
A burst of exclamation sounded in the earphones, and the members of the mouse-catching team immediately rushed to where their companions were.
After these people arrived, under the guidance of their companions, they soon saw a very large mouse hole.
“This mouse hole is so big.”
“It seems there are other big mice.”
"Everyone, be prepared."
The members of the rat-catching team are professionals and have rich experience in dealing with rats.
Every tool was placed on the ground, and then these professionals began to attack the mouse hole.
Time passed, and after more than ten minutes, there was no movement at all from the mouse hole that was emitting white smoke.
“We have been smoking for so long, but not a single mouse has escaped from this mouse hole. It seems that this mouse hole has long been abandoned.”
"If there is still no movement at all after another five minutes of fumigation, we will just fill the mouse hole." said the leader of the rat-catching team.
He is very cautious in doing things, and the client this time is a school, so there is no room for mistakes.
The plan to smoke the mouse hole continued. When it was almost five minutes, these professionals suddenly heard an unusual sound coming from the mouse hole.
"Tsk...this mouse is really cunning."
"Yes! If we hadn't smoked it for a few more minutes, we might have been fooled by it."< br>
"Now that we have determined that there is something in this mouse hole, we will continue to use smoke to force it out."
"Brother Sun, just smoking will take a lot of time, why not add some ingredients and try to get it out sooner?" Force it out of the mouse hole."
Everyone discussed it, and in the end no one objected to a quick decision.
Someone took out a ziplock bag from the backpack he was carrying. This ziplock bag contained a lot of chili powder.
Turn on the machine that blows smoke into the mouse hole, and then pour a small half packet of chili powder into the machine.
Adding chili powder to the already choking smoke instantly doubled its power.
For people who can't eat spicy food, this scene is quite scary.
…………
As time passed by, the smoke added with chili powder was astonishingly lethal.
For a mouse in a mouse hole, every second seems like a year.
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, and a sharp scream came from the mouse hole.
The cry was a little calm at first, but now just by listening to the sound, you can tell that the mouse in the mouse hole is in chaos.
Not far away, there were two primary school students looking curiously at what the mouse catchers were doing.
"Zhou Tongtong, did you hear the sound?" Wang Duoduo said.
"I heard it, it seems like three mice." Zhou Tongtong's eyes flashed with light gold, and the appearance of three mice appeared in his mind.
After the two had lunch, they originally wanted to go back to the classroom to take a lunch break.
While passing by the grove, they saw a professional mouse-catching team busy, which immediately attracted their attention.
Stop and watch, within a few minutes, Zhou Tongtong and Wang Duoduo heard the rat’s panicked sound.
“Do you think they can catch all the rats in one fell swoop?”
“They should be able to, the rats have been smoked for so long, it will be difficult for them to escape.”
"Yes! If I had been exposed to the smoke for so long, I would have fainted a long time ago."
"The mice in the mouse hole can persist for so long, they are really amazing."
< br>Zhou Tongtong and Wang Duoduo chatted and watched with anticipation as several mice in the mouse hole were caught.
"Brother Sun, it has been so long and they are still hiding in the hole and not coming out. How about we increase the dose!" someone suggested.
"Just do as you say." The leader of the rat-catching team nodded.
Then, someone poured the remaining chili powder into the machine, and the power of the smoke continued to increase, making it impossible for the several rats in the rat hole to escape.
