Chapter 25 Green Water Silkworm
In the water tank in the courtyard, several translucent water bugs were floating on the water, twisting their bodies from time to time and moving slowly.
This is the green water silkworm that Song Changming bought in the market. The small one is only an inch long, and the big one is a finger long.
Because of their average quality, the prices of these green water silkworms are not high, ranging from tens to more than a hundred copper coins each.
On the side, Song Changming and his son were observing the status of these green water silkworms.
"Is that one about to die?" Father Song suddenly pointed at one of the silent silkworms and said.
"It seems so." Song Changming was speechless and touched the water in the tank.
It felt like the water temperature was just right, but the green water silkworm still seemed like it couldn't adapt and couldn't even survive for a day.
It has to be said that this green water silkworm is really difficult to feed.
Even with a feeding manual, this is by no means an easy task.
"Forget it, let's think about it slowly. These first batch of silkworm seedlings are just for buying experience, and the dead ones can be used for my martial arts training. It's not too bad." Song Changming shook his head.
He vaguely felt that none of the nearly ten green water silkworm sprouts might survive in the end.
Fortunately, the green water silkworm's body is quite beneficial to the martial artist. It is a complete tonic. It is indeed not a waste for him to raise it to death.
Even Father Song was still a little distressed. In his eyes, these green water silkworms were bought at a high price. The cost of trial and error was a bit high.
"Okay, Dad, it's getting late. Let's take a look tomorrow." Song Changming pressed the large lid made of wooden boards on the water tank and said to Song's father.
"good."
After looking at the green water silkworms that he had just started raising, Song Changming immediately continued to practice sword and body exercises, returning to the state of "concentration" for tomorrow, before taking a rest.
In his mind, he reviewed the previous fighting process with the three killers, summed up his experience, and thought about his shortcomings in actual combat.
The next day, when I opened the cover, I found that two more of the nine green water silkworms had died.
"It's not bad at all. At least the remaining six can initially adapt to the water quality in this tank." Song Changming smiled and took away the two green water silkworm corpses, preparing to eat them after he came back in the evening to practice his swordsmanship.
He had eaten one of these green water silkworm bodies yesterday.
The taste is a bit chewy, a bit like jelly, quite refreshing and slightly fishy, but not unpalatable.
As for the effect, if I only ate a low-quality green water silkworm body, the effect would definitely not be that prominent.
Song Changming only felt a faint effect, feeling that his body had a little more vitality, that's all.
After a few words with Song's father, he went to work in the patrol department.
A few days later, the identities of the three killers were revealed.
They claim to be people from a force called Dark Night Pavilion in the world.
This Dark Night Pavilion is quite famous underground throughout the Dahan Dynasty, and the assassins it produces have accomplished many feats.
One of his main businesses was to hire murderers, and many officials of the Great Han Dynasty were even killed by him.
It is also true that many of the killers in his cabinet are on the wanted list of Dahan Dynasty, and they are rewarded with large sums of money.
And the three killers who caused trouble in Houli Street this time were just three low-level killers from Dark Night Pavilion.
He was hired by someone to come here to assassinate the Patrol Division.
As for who hired them behind the scenes, the three of them all said it was the Teng Crow Mountain bandits.
Liang Chuanshan and others did not completely believe this. The assassins of Dark Night Pavilion have all received special training, and it is rumored that the information of the employer behind the mission has never been leaked. This is the key to the success of Dark Night Pavilion, and its reputation is excellent.
The reason why these three killers claimed that their employer was the Tengyaoshan bandits after they were caught was that they might have been ordered to do so on purpose to divert trouble to the east.
The only intersection between their Houli Street Patrol Division and the Tengya Mountain bandits was Chen Beihu, who they had killed before.
If the other party planned this to avenge a small leader, Chen Beihu, it was not impossible, but it was still a bit far-fetched.
Chen Beihu was not considered a big shot in the entire Tengya Mountain bandit army. If he was offered a reward for killing him, he should not go into such a big fight.
On the fifth day of the interrogation, the three killers suddenly died in prison. They died of poisoning caused by the explosion of toxins in their bodies.
After that, no more clues could be found, and the case was discontinued again.
Even if the culprit is really the Teng Crow Mountain bandit army, it is impossible for their patrol department and hundreds of patrols in a city to go and attack Teng Crow Mountain, which has tens of thousands of bandits. It is so unwise.
Fortunately, the three killers were caught and successfully put an end to the serial assassination incident. They posted notices and managed to save some face of the patrol department.
The patrolmen of the Patrol Division also successfully eliminated potential safety hazards and no longer had to worry.
The days have returned to calm again, and Song Changming has been in the deputy position for nearly a year.
This day, the night of the full moon.
On Houli Street, a flexible figure flew up and down the streets and alleys.
This person wore a mask with a ghost face and looked around every corner from time to time, looking extremely alert.
"Just for the patrolmen in the patrol department to want to catch me, the ghost-faced thief, it's really unreasonable!"
The man in the ghost mask chuckled disdainfully, jumped up again, tapped the edge of the wall with his toes, turned over with a kite, and landed on the roof tiles.
Looking at the beautiful moonlight above my head, I couldn't help but stretch out leisurely.
"The moonlight is so beautiful. It's a pity that we can't stay here for too long. Otherwise, we should bring a beauty to enjoy the moon."
As soon as he finished speaking, several crossbow arrows were shot from below.
The man in the mask with a ghostly face seemed to have his eyes opened. He moved at the critical moment and only turned slightly sideways to avoid a few incoming crossbow arrows.
He smiled mockingly at the guards below.
"You're chasing me so fast. Are you specifically trying to ambush me?"
The ghost-faced masked man realized that the patrols had come prepared, so he turned over and got off the roof and into the alley without any further support.
And just when he landed on the ground, a cold blade of light swept straight towards his face, making his heart tremble.
At the critical moment, two short knives popped out of his sleeves, holding them in the palm of his hand to meet the opponent's blade.
He was quite confident in his ability with two swords, and many warriors died under his two swords.
But today, it is different.
The next moment there was only a muffled sound, the masked man was chopped to the ground, and two short knives flew out.
The mask that covered his face was cut into pieces by the blade, revealing his true appearance under the mask.
A panicked face with a bloodstain in the center from a blade injury.
"Officer, sir, spare my life." Being pointed at by the long knife, the ghost-faced thief looked at the armored patrolman in front of him with some fear. Instead of showing contempt like before, he just begged for mercy in a low voice.
