Chapter 584 On Taotie’s Self-cultivation (66)
Jiang Tang moved his nose and smelled a stronger smell of chicken feces.
This is really chicken essence, the whole county smells of chicken shit.
Taotie had a keen sense of smell. Jiang Tang couldn't bear it and stuffed his head into Song Chaoling's elbow, using the man's fragrance to relieve the unpleasant odor.
The key is, these people seemed to be invisible and stood in the shack seriously. Song Chaoling felt something strange about Jiang Tang. When he looked down, he found that her whole head was stuffed in his arms, leaving only a fluffy body. The ears are trembling.
The man chuckled, let the beast in his arms fidget, and continued talking to the magistrate.
Li Yan touched the railings of the shed, and her system collected all the traces for species identification.
Throughout the morning, they walked around dozens of large livestock sheds and looked around, but in the end they found nothing.
No trace.
At first Song Chaoling thought it was exaggerated, but after seeing it with his own eyes all morning, he gradually believed the rumors in his heart.
It's definitely not man-made.
As for what did it, I don't have a clue.
At noon, Song Chaoling returned to the county magistrate's residence.
"My lord, how do you think this matter should be solved? No one in the county dares to raise livestock now, for fear that such strange things will happen again."
"So what happened to the rumor that hundreds of people disappeared?"
The magistrate's expression changed slightly, and he was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
"To tell the truth, I will personally investigate."
The county magistrate wiped his sweat with a look of fear in his eyes.
"It's really not that I want to hide it, but I haven't determined whether this matter is a coincidence or not, because I'm afraid of offending you, Your Majesty..."
"So there are really hundreds of people missing?" "Not hundreds, but about seventy people. They are all mining slaves from other places. One or two of them have slave marks on their backs. They go mining during the day. , and lived in a temporary tent at night. The day after the livestock disappeared, the mining slaves also disappeared at first. They organized the absconder, and later found that their clothes and packages were still there, but their people were missing. Only then did they realize that the matter was serious. I originally wanted to block the news first to prevent panic, but I didn't know who spread the news. Now that it’s not dark, people in the county stay behind closed doors and are in panic all day long.”
Song Chaoling's expression was solemn.
"Take me to the tent later to have a look."
"Well, let's eat first. After dinner, I will take you there."
During the meal, Li Yan remained quiet, focusing on the food in front of him with his eyes lowered. Jiang Tang lay bored on Song Chaoling's lap.
This guy held her down and refused to let her go, but pets were not allowed on the dinner table, so Jiang Tang could only yawn underneath and open his mouth to accept the pastries secretly handed over by Song Chaoling.
The scent came, and a slender white hand reached down and twisted a piece of soft white bean cake. The man's fingertips were white and glowed with a faint ruddy sheen. Jiang Tang yawned, then closed his mouth and bit it. That piece of pastry, along with that green-white finger.
The man was in pain and groaned.
The county magistrate's voice, which had been eloquent just now, suddenly stopped and he looked at Song Chaoling cautiously.
"My lord, what's the matter? The food doesn't suit your taste?"
Song Chaoling curled her lips helplessly and shook her head.
"No problem, keep talking."
Under the table, the man pinched Jiang Tang's ears gently and slapped her head punitively.
Naughty.
Jiang Tang: "..."
She really didn't mean it.
