Chapter 355: Catch them all in one fell swoop
Fang Hao picked up the clay sculpture and asked with a smile.
The material of the clay sculptures is relatively ordinary, and you can find subtle bumps on them when you touch them, but the shapes are more expressive.
It can be seen that the people who make clay sculptures have good skills.
"Oh! It's 'Aunt Trish' in the village. She is very good at making these clay sculptures." Marken replied with a smile.
Marken didn't know much about Aunt Trish.
Although Aunt Trish is from the village, she lived in the temple when she was young.
Much older than Marken, when he came back, Marken had already become the village chief.
The acolytes of the temple all have certain knowledge of treatment and herbal medicine, and they can understand the functions of Cordyceps sinensis.
As the two chatted, the other people also came back.
Apart from some traces of struggles and rats, there were no extra clues.
Of course, no one present was good at solving crimes, but they were all better at committing crimes.
"Let's go, Mr. Marken, take me to see Aunt Trish." Fang Hao said, still holding the clay sculpture in his hand.
When Ma Ken heard that Fang Hao wanted to see Trish, he frowned.
Trish is close to 70 years old, and her personality is not very easy to get in touch with.
Seeing that Fang Hao insisted on going, Ma Ken didn't say much. He led the way while hinting at Trish's weird temper.
If something happens, don't take it personally.
…
It probably took a few minutes.
From a distance, I saw an old woman with white hair sitting in front of a house.
"She is Aunt Trish. She is a very good person, but she has a weird temper." Marken said in a low voice.
Trish, who was not far away, just glanced at everyone, then lowered his head again and went about the work in hand.
Several people came forward, and Marken forced a smile and said loudly: "Aunt Trish, these people came from Lysis to help the village solve the rat problem, and they came here specifically to see you."
"I'm not deaf, why are you so loud?" Aunt Trish said with a cold face and looked at Fang Hao and his group.
When he saw the female clay sculpture that Fang Hao was holding behind his back, his eyes changed slightly, but returned to normal in an instant.
Marken smiled awkwardly. As a village leader, he really didn't have much authority over Trish.
"Aunt Trish, please don't lose your temper for a while. These guards are coming to the city, and we still expect them to get rid of the rats." Markenyou whispered.
Trish rolled her eyes at him and said, "I know, you go back first. I'll let them find you after we finish talking."
"Oh, okay." Ma Ken looked at Fang Hao again and said, "Master Fang Hao, you guys talk first. After we finish talking, I will take you to see the place where the rats are."
"Okay." Fang Hao agreed.
Ma Ken left, and Fang Hao also came over with his people.
"Are you city guards?" Trish asked first.
This team is actually quite weird.
Except for Fang Hao, who seemed to be relatively easy to get in touch with, the rest, except for the bandits, were foreigners.
Although he is mighty, he still has some gangster spirit.
"Yes." Fang Hao replied, sitting down not far from Trish, placing the clay sculpture in front of him, "Aunt Trish, do you have any conflict with the deceased Bloomer?"
Along the way, Fang Hao and Ma Ken also learned some things.
Trish is good at herbal medicine, and she will treat anyone injured in the village.
Except for his bad temper, it can be said that he is very popular in the village.
For such a person to kill Blumer would only be some of the contradictions.
"Aren't you here to solve the rat problem? Are you also interested in these things?" Trish said, her voice still not friendly.
"Rat-eating humans is also included in the scope of this mission, don't you think so?" Fang Hao still smiled.
"That's right, you people will only waste your energy on trying to please the nobles and trivial matters among the people." Trish mocked again.
Then, before Fang Hao could continue to ask, Trish spoke again, "When I was an assistant priest in the temple, there were several cases in the temple. Some people desecrated the temple priests and cut off their heads. Half of them were desecrated. Six girls died within a few months, the youngest of whom was only 9 years old. Later, the temple put pressure on the city lord's palace and launched a comprehensive search. Although this never happened again, no one was caught. The matter just ended.”
At this point, Trish stopped talking and just lowered her head and was busy with the work in her hands.
However, Fang Hao naturally figured out the subsequent story.
Trish discovered that Bloomer was related to this matter, but he was old and did not have sufficient evidence.
Use the knowledge of herbal medicine that he was familiar with to kill Blumer.
"Then, has the murderer been caught?" An Jia asked.
Trish glanced at the orc girl and nodded slightly, "Caught, dead..."
"It's an advantage for him. If you want me to catch him, I have to torture him for two years and then transform him into a skeleton..."
Fang Hao covered her mouth and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh!" An Jia said oh, but did not continue.
After the story was told, Fang Hao's doubts were cleared up.
But it seems that this mission is in vain. There is no special monster stronghold, and there is no treasure chest reward.
Fang Hao looked at Trish and continued: "If you want to get rid of rats, the best way is to get them together to eliminate them. Is there any good method from Aunt Trish's side?"
Trish didn't say much, stood up and staggered into the house.
He took out a small medicine bottle and walked out.
【Cordyceps cordyceps liquid】
[Category: Liquid Medicine]
(Description: A medicinal solution that emits a special smell.)
"There are two large rat nests on the east side of the village. You can try there." Trish said.
Rats are difficult to eradicate, and even if you can lure them in, there's no good way to kill them.
"Well, then we won't disturb Aunt Trish."
After saying that, Fang Hao took the clay sculpture and cordyceps liquid and left directly.
Trish looked at the few people who were about to leave, with doubts in her eyes.
Aren't they the city guards?
Aren't you going to catch the murderer?
…
Fang Hao and others left and found Ma Ken again.
In fact, Marken didn't go very far. He was afraid that Fang Hao and Trish would get into a fight so that he could break up the fight.
Unexpectedly, in just over ten minutes, Fang Hao came back.
"Lord Fang Hao." Ma Ken came forward.
"Well, let's go. Aunt Trish said there are two large rat nests in the east of the village. Do you know their locations?" Fang Hao asked.
"I know, it's not far to the east."
The place where Ma Ken said he wanted to take Fang Hao was the rat nest.
But there is no good way to deal with fires and floods.
"Okay, take us to see it."
"Oh, okay."
Marken led a few people out of the east gate.
After not walking far, I saw two raised mounds in the woods.
"This is the mouse's nest. I don't know when the nest was built here." Marken said looking at the mouse's nest.
The rats did not cause much damage to the village, but Marken was worried about the rats eating people.
He didn't know about Trish, he just thought that when rats went crazy, they would eat people.
If you can eat the first one, you can eat the second one.
By then this village will be gone!
"Okay, I understand. You go back to the village first. We won't be able to take care of you if there is any danger." Fang Hao continued.
"There is still danger! Okay, sir, you should also be careful." After speaking, Marken left quickly.
When Ma Ken walked away, Fang Hao found a cave nearby.
After checking the cave, I felt that there were no passages or holes, so I put the [Skull Rat Brain Stem Clay Sculpture] in, opened the cordyceps solution, and poured a drop onto the head of the clay sculpture.
As soon as it was poured, a faint fishy-sweet smell filled the cave.
Not rich.
After finishing everything, Fang Hao walked out of the cave directly and came to the place where An Jia and others were hiding.
Everyone looked at the cave in front of them from a distance.
Not long after, rustling sounds came from the surrounding woods.
A large number of rats, mixed with a few hedgehogs, lined up in long lines and rushed into the depths of the cave, like ants moving.
Fang Hao felt that it was almost done, so he took out a few detonators from the storage space, opened the safety cover and threw them directly into the cave.
boom! !
After the loud noise, the entire cave collapsed.
"Is it over?" An Jia asked softly.
"Well, it should be over." Fang Hao also nodded.
Everyone approached and conducted a simple inspection around the cave.
The cave completely collapsed and not a single mouse escaped.
"Let's go and have a look at the rat nest."
Fang Hao still refused to give up and led a group of people back to the rat nest in the east of the village.
"dig!"
Fang Hao took out the tools from the storage space, and the bandits stretched their arms and started digging.
Ten minutes later, a deep pit was dug out of the bulging mountain.
"Yes, sir, there is something."
Under the pit, the bandit's screams suddenly came from the pit.
Fang Hao immediately looked down and saw a corner of the treasure chest exposed in the pit.
Even though the rest of it was still buried in the pit, it could still be seen that it was a black iron treasure chest.
Okay, it’s better than nothing.
"Bring it up."
The treasure chest was brought up and Fang Hao opened it directly.
[Obtain: Black shovel production drawings, granary construction drawings, 25 war coins. 】
Don't look at it as a black iron treasure chest.
But the drawings given were really something Fang Hao didn't have.
The black shovel is a tool for digging soil.
There is also a granary, which is also a new drawing.
[First-level granary: 500 wood, 450 stone, 300 thatch, 220 leather, 50 iron.]
(Description: Insulate and moisture-proof, prevent rats and insects, and better store food.)
The granary was a real surprise.
There is no fighting and the harvest is not bad.
Better than those silver chests that give out duplicate blueprints.
"Fill the hole and let's go back."
The bandits filled up the hole again and the large team returned to the village.
…
Twenty minutes later. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoｓshuyuan.com
Near the collapsed cave.
Squeak! !
A group of mice quickly came to the stone cave, raised their noses, and tried to smell something.
These mice look close to normal mice.
The brain is exposed above the head, surrounded by a transparent membrane.
The mice's brains vibrated in resonance.
As if a consensus had been reached, the stones began to be moved.
A hole was moved. A mouse crawled in and dragged out a broken piece of clay sculpture.
The rats took a humane look, took the pieces with them, and left quickly.
