After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 398 Discovering a Swarm of Mosquitoes
When Yan Shouyi was transferred from Shanyang County to Qingmu Prefecture, he also brought a few personal soldiers with him. These were his former brothers.
During this period in the bonsai world, those who were willing to leave their hometown and family and follow him to Aoki Mansion were definitely brothers who trusted him very much.
From a modern perspective, the distance from a county town to a higher-level prefectural capital is generally not considered to be leaving one's hometown.
But that is based on excellent transportation conditions, so people often say how long it takes to drive or how far it takes to fly, thus ignoring the term "walking distance".
In the bonsai world at this time, the only way to commute besides relying on one's own two legs is by horse. Whether it is raising horses or hiring a horse carriage, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
So the only way for many people to travel is to walk!
What's more, when you are at work, you don't have so much time for your boss to let you go home. There is no such easy job in the world!
Nowadays, even if the distance is 300 to 500 kilometers, many people only go home once or twice a year. Those who can go home once or twice a month are considered homesick!
Moreover, the cost of the journey is also huge for ordinary people. Many people do not go home, not only because of the journey, but also because of the huge cost.
Therefore, the journey from Shanyang County to Qingmu Prefecture is not just a few days' journey in literal terms, but it separates many people from their wives and children and their homesickness, and makes many people miss their families during the holidays.
The person who paid so much and was willing to come out with you, at this moment you did not bring him wealth and honor, nor did you bring him career advancement, but instead caused him to die. At this time, Yan Shouyi was under great pressure. That's why he thought of this to apologize!
During the Chu-Han contention, heroes like Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, would commit suicide after their defeat at the Wujiang River, and would never try to make a comeback.
People say that he is too stubborn, and doesn't know how to compromise temporarily. He doesn't know how to learn from Han Xin's flexible character, and can endure even the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch!
In fact, Xiang Yu’s situation was completely different from Han Xin’s.
What Han Xin faced was nothing more than a temporary humiliation, which would pass. Only a few people knew about it, and he only lost his face. After he left, everything disappeared.
However, the elders of Jiangdong that Xiang Yu had to face were his most trusted elders and friends and fellow villagers!
Your closest brothers, uncles, nephews and relatives all followed you to fight in the war, but you came back all alone, and you didn’t bring back any of your relatives and friends!
How are you going to explain?
Do you think that after he returned as the King of Chu, people immediately urged him to make a comeback?
The first thing he faced, naturally, was the greetings from his fellow villagers whom his family members missed day and night.
"Excuse me, my king! Where is my Dalang?"
"Where's my Jiro?"
"Where's my little one?"
"Where's my daddy?"
"Where's my brother?"
"Where's my brother?"
"Where's my child's father?"
This series of greetings could leave anyone speechless, even Xiang Yu.
The people who followed him to conquer the world were not emotionless war machines. They were playmates who grew up with him, brothers who grew up with him, and elders who watched him grow up!
At the beginning, it was he who ambitiously said that he wanted to conquer the world and bring a different new life to everyone, so that everyone would have meat to eat every meal and clothes to wear!
But now, they are all gone.
Only you come back.
only you!
By this time, seven or eight out of ten households had lost their male offspring. Every household hung white cloth and held funerals.
However, you now tell everyone that you are going to take a group of people with you and make another comeback, and then you promise that everyone will have meat for every meal and clothes to wear!
Come on, does anyone really still believe this?
Believe it or not, when you came back, there was only disappointment and despair in these people’s eyes!
When you say these words again, people will probably look at you with hatred in their eyes!
Don’t even mention that you are Overlord Xiang Yu. Even if you are God of War Xingtian, no one will believe you anymore.
At this point, you are no longer the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, but a good-for-nothing, despicable villain, a coward who lives in shameless disgrace.
So, you chose to commit suicide at the Wujiang River!
If you commit suicide at the Wu River, you will still be the Overlord, the eternal Overlord of Western Chu!
Even the mighty King of Chu was unable to face those questions that hit the depths of his soul, so Yan Shouyi naturally did not have the ability and psychological quality to face them.
That's why I chose to die as an atonement!
……
Xu Bo'an had no idea what was happening in the temple, and he was still carefully looking for traces of the mosquitoes.
Because this place is not the bonsai area where he originally grew up, he cannot search every inch of land here with his mind like he did in Kaoshan Village.
Therefore, Xu Boan had to take a bird's eye view of the entire area around the mountain, searching area by area for the group of giant mosquitoes that Yan Shou mentioned.
After a while, Xu Boan found the mosquito in a small puddle.
The location of the puddle is not flat ground, but in the middle of a cliff that looks like a large staircase or a terrace.
Judging from the appearance, this should be the location of the huge waterfall in the original Feipu Cliff. After the waterfall stopped flowing, there was still some water in the cracks of the mountain rocks, forming this wetland puddle similar to a small pool.
To call it a small puddle is only the situation relative to Xu Boan’s current God’s perspective.
In fact, this puddle is quite large, at least as big as two basketball courts.
There were dozens of mosquitoes swarming in the puddle, some stopping, some flying, and some circling.
Xu Boan lowered his eyes and focused on the past, and immediately frowned.
It was at this time that Xu Boan discovered that the size of these mosquitoes was almost the same as that of mosquitoes in the real world.
Could it be that these mosquitoes all came from the real world?
Xu Boan was immediately shocked by this idea. If this was true, it would be terrible! But soon, Xu Boan gave up this idea.
He suddenly remembered that he had done experiments on this possibility before.
At that time, Xu Bo'an used ants for experiments, and because of this incident, people misunderstood that he had certain symptoms, which was embarrassing for him.
However, Xu Boan remembered the experimental results very clearly.
Unless he puts the small animals and insects in himself, these little guys will not be able to get in on their own.
Thinking of the previous experimental results, Xu Bo'an felt a little relieved. It seems that the mosquitoes here already have this giant species and they are not from the real world.
That's right, if these things in the real world really go in by themselves, there will be many disasters in this bonsai world. After all, a small thing from the outside will become a huge monster when it goes in.
Xu Boan still doesn't know that his negligence has brought some huge changes to the world!
……
After a brief observation, Xu Boan found that many of the mosquitoes here showed signs of being full. Xu Boan even saw dark red blood in their stomachs through their skin. He presumably thought that those were the mosquitoes that had bitten Yan Shouyi's soldiers and had had a full meal.
If that's the case, then I can't let you stay!
After all, according to common sense, after the beast has come into contact with a certain delicacy, it will subconsciously attack the delicacy in its eyes next time! In the long run, the aggressiveness of these giant mosquitoes will become stronger and stronger, so they can't stay here!
Xu Boan made up his mind instantly. In order to prevent these mosquitoes from threatening the lives of Yan Shouyi and others again, he decided to find a way to eliminate these giant mosquitoes.
Otherwise, if Yan Shouyi and his few men were attacked by these giant mosquitoes again, they would definitely not be their match.
It would have been fine if Xu Bo'an didn't know, but now that he knew, no matter where these mosquitoes came from, he couldn't let them run wild here.
In a word, such awesome species are not allowed to exist in the territory under our own governance!
I have the final say on my territory! This is a truth that rulers throughout history have unanimously agreed upon!
However, the thought of how to eliminate this group of giant mosquitoes troubled Xu Boan.
Xu Bo'an frowned slightly, thinking about how to do it more conveniently. Should he just slap them to make them equal, or find a tool to slap them.
It would be easier to just slap him. After all, Xu Boan's skin has increased in toughness and thickness exponentially inside the bonsai, so he won't be stabbed or scratched.
If I slap them with one slap, these mosquitoes will definitely be killed, but the thought of using my clean white hands to slap dozens of mosquitoes at once, especially in this dirty puddle, is disgusting!
And as we all know, mosquitoes can carry viruses. If it is a contagious virus, and you slap the mosquitoes to death and then wash your hands, causing the alien virus to spread in the real world, that would be a huge sin.
It is better to find a suitable tool to kill them! Try to avoid all bad causes and effects!
Xu Boan was thinking about what tools to use to kill mosquitoes, when suddenly he saw a small group of little people climbing up the cliff on the side with great effort.
Could it be that these people were the ones Yan Shouyi had brought out? Was this small group of people from the other teams that were separated?
Xu Boan suddenly thought of this and subconsciously paid attention to it.
There were about ten people in the group, most of them were strong men in their twenties or thirties. The leader was a kid about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and looked very smart.
There was a little monkey following the leading child. As he climbed along, sometimes when they encountered places that were difficult to start, the skinny little monkey would climb over first, step on the ground to check the location, like a pioneer pathfinder.
Xu Boan observed and found that the clothes they wore were not like the standard soldiers' clothes that Yan Shouyi and his men wore, but coarse cloth clothes of different styles. Then he realized that he had misunderstood. These people were most likely not the soldiers of the Qingmu Banner brought by Yan Shouyi. After all, the uniforms of regular garrison troops were uniform, especially when they were on missions. In addition to the disguises required by the mission, they would never let you play freely.
Xu Boan was just thinking about whether he should remind them that this place was dangerous. After all, if they went further up, it would be the habitat of a group of terrifying giant mosquitoes.
To these little people, those were giant mosquitoes as big as calves. If they saw them appear, wouldn’t they treat them as cakes?
Before Xu Boan could speak, he heard a bearded man who was the second person to climb in the team start to shout to the front: "Xiao Linzi, are you sure there are the scary giant mosquitoes you mentioned? If we come here and get nothing, we won't be able to explain to Master Xie!"
Xu Boan was stunned. Wow, these little guys actually knew about the existence of these giant mosquitoes?
It seems that these mosquitoes did not come from the real world, but should be native species of this bonsai world.
Well, I was just thinking too much. This is the best case scenario, as I don’t have to worry about destroying the ecological balance and the integrity of the food chain in the bonsai world.
The skinny kid at the front of the line looked back and explained, "Sixth Master, I saw it with my own eyes. The giant mosquitoes here are so scary. A fat spotted rabbit about the size of a calf was bitten by a mosquito. In less than the time it took to pee, it was sucked dry! It was so scary. I almost peed myself at the time!"
After hearing this, Xu Boan was very curious about what this spotted rabbit was. He had seen rabbits in the woods near the mountain village before and had even caught a few. Not only were they delicious, they also had the magical effect of curing anorexia.
Xu Boan had never seen a spotted rabbit as big as a calf as described by the little man.
The little things that the fearless Xu Bo'an cared about were terrible news to these little guys.
When the people behind him heard Xiao Linzi's description, they trembled and thought to themselves, can they deal with such a terrible thing?
A young man with a sweaty face said with some concern: "Sixth Boss, I... I feel like my hand is cramping. How about... you guys go first, I'll stop here for a while and then slowly continue climbing."
As the man spoke, he forced out an awkward, ingratiating smile.
He is now the third one in line. If there is really danger, his chance of being in danger is much greater than those behind him. Thinking that he still has an 80-year-old grandmother to support and that he has not yet found a wife, married and had children, he does not want to die yet!
The Sixth In Command glanced back unhappily, seemingly dissatisfied with his backing out at this moment.
After all, if we back down at this time, it will disturb the tense hearts of other people in the team!
The so-called "disturbing the morale of the troops" is what we are talking about!
The Sixth Master, who was climbing in front of the young man, became annoyed when he heard these discouraging words. He was about to scold him when suddenly, a shrill sound was heard in the sky. The Sixth Master immediately looked up and his face suddenly lit up with joy.
