Originally I thought everything would be peaceful tonight, but in the second half of the night, a rustling sound came, and Shui Ling woke up and sat up.

Gong Qianyu was already standing at the door of the tent, looking outside with a serious expression.

Shui Ling stood up, turned the camping light brighter, and asked, "What is that?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "I don't know yet. The sound sounds a bit like many claws walking on the ground."

Shui Ling instantly got goosebumps all over her body, "The father and daughter in the tent next door should wake up, otherwise they might be attacked."

"Well, wait for me." Gong Qianyu bent down and walked out of the door, and soon brought the Bai family father and daughter over. However, both of them were wearing clothes, and their eyes were full of confusion.

Especially the white wax plum blossoms, the cute way they rub their eyes makes people want to rub their hair.

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Wangmei, go to my place and continue sleeping. It's warmer here."

Ashberry is a child after all, so she nodded and walked over and fell asleep.

However, Bai Zhan looked outside with a serious expression.

Shui Ling asked curiously: "Bai Zhan, do you know what that is?"

When Bai Zhan heard this, the wisdom in his eyes immediately disappeared, and he smiled naively, "It should be a lot of bugs."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows, "Bai Zhan, who are you? I know you are not as harmless as you appear."

Gong Qianyu glanced at Bai Zhan, who was bowing his head in silence, and said, "He is the son of a general. He gave up his inheritance rights and ran away from home because he liked a peasant girl."

"He and the peasant girl farmed every day and lived a very harmonious life. They should have been an enviable couple, but it's a pity..."

Shui Ling saw that he paused and didn't speak, which was to whet his appetite. She immediately grabbed Gong Qianyu's sleeve and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Speak quickly, people want to hear it."

Gong Qianyu's eyes narrowed with laughter. He put his arms around Shuiling's waist and let her lean into his arms. "His family wanted him to go back and inherit the family business, but they didn't admit that the peasant girl was his wife, so they bribed her."

Po Wen did some tricks."

"Because they didn't know whether the fetus was a boy or a girl, they didn't order everyone to be killed, only the adults."

Bai Zhan shouted: "Stop talking."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Zhan, "I don't feel hatred from you, but more helplessness and powerlessness. If Lameiniang's death is a knot in your heart, I can't help you untie it, but her death has become a knot in your heart."

The reason for your decadence is that you are sorry for Lamei."

Bai Zhan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shui Ling for a long time. He shed two lines of clear tears, and then wiped them away hard, "I know, I will cheer up, I still have wintersweet."

Shui Ling nodded, "Yes, you are not alone. You have Wintersweet. Her body contains your wife's blood, and it is also the continuation of your wife's life. If you don't give her happiness, who will give her happiness?"

Bai Zhan immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Please the city lord accept us, father and daughter, as slaves. We are willing to be loyal to the city lord."

Shui Ling laughed, waved her hand and said, "No, no, I don't like so many people around."

Bai Zhan's face turned pale and he stood up awkwardly, "I... I am a slave who knows kung fu and knows how to protect people. I used to be an investigator in the Ministry of Punishment, but later I resigned..."

Shui Ling's eyes lit up, "Have you ever been in the Criminal Department?"

"Yes." Bai Zhan nodded.

Shui Ling clapped her hands and said, "Great. There is a shortage of people in the city who can handle cases. Why don't you become the head catcher?"

"By the way, our city is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The outer city has a tourist area near the sea, and the inner city is a residential area and a commercial area within the city. You..."

She didn't say any more, thinking in her mind whether she should let him go to the outer city or the inner city.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "The inner city is already managed by someone, and he is very good in the outer city. He is not a head catcher. We already lack a captain there."

Shui Ling nodded immediately, "Yes, it's the captain. Bai Zhan will definitely look good if he organizes his appearance well."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Well, Linhai also needs good-looking people. After all, there are many people coming to play in Pearl City."

"Okay, you make the arrangements and let him follow you." Shui Ling nodded.

Gong Qianyu thought for a moment and asked: "Do you live in the outer city or the inner city?"

Shui Ling was startled, yes, where can I live? In fact, I would rather live on the floating island.

But as a city lord, he definitely can't be away from the city for a long time. Forget it, just treat it as raising a baby.

Gong Qianyu whispered: "Don't worry about the floating island. If it doesn't work, just put it away. The creatures inside will be taken care of by Butler Qian and they will be fine."

Shui Ling pursed her lips, "Put it away? Will they feel suffocated if they all shrink?"

"No, you can just ask Butler Qian when you get the chance." Gong Qianyu replied firmly.

Shui Ling nodded, "Okay, but it won't matter if you just leave it there."

Gong Qianyu smiled and said nothing. Anyway, his wife could do whatever she wanted.

The two were chatting happily, and the chatter outside became louder. Shui Ling took out a strong flashlight and shined a light on it, and unexpectedly hit something reflective.

Gong Qianyu covered the head of the flashlight, and then threw out a big night pearl.

The luminous pearl seemed to be rolling away in the distance, and the rustling sound chased the luminous pearl.

Shui Ling quickly turned off the flashlight and asked, "What is that?"

Bai Zhan replied: "Those are phototactic insects. In a place with light, they can eat up a cow in a cup of tea."

"Although they are scary, the carapace is a very beautiful decoration. A pair of carapace can be sold for ten taels of silver, so many will take the risk to catch them, but most of them will be eaten."

Shui Ling was a little eager to try, "I want to catch a few and see."

"Wait for me." Gong Qianyu flew out and soon came back. He spread his hands and tore off a beetle as big as an egg from his palm.

The beetle's carapace is heart-shaped and emits colorful light, but when there is no light, it is black.

The beetle bit off a piece of meat from Gong Qianyu's palm and was eating it desperately.

Shui Ling got angry, "I'll crush you to death."

Bai Zhan quickly stopped him, "No, the dead bugs will emit a special smell, and the living bugs will come over and attack like crazy."

Shui Ling pursed her lips and complained, "Why are you so careless?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head indifferently, "It's nothing, I just grabbed one, but I didn't expect its mouthparts to be so sharp."

Shui Ling sighed and took out the ointment and applied it to Gong Qianyu.

Bai Zhan hesitated to speak, fearing to disturb their atmosphere.

When Gong Qianyu saw it, he asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Bai Zhan held up his hands and said, "I would like to say that these phototactic insects usually go out in groups. They appear at this time to find a place to lay their eggs."

Shui Ling asked: "What else do they eat besides meat?"

Bai Zhan said: "Eat medicinal materials, they will eat any medicinal materials."

Shui Ling's eyes lit up, "Then just follow them. If they want to lay eggs stably, they must find a place with a lot of medicinal materials."

Gong Qianyu hugged Shui Ling and looked at her dissatisfied, "You are not allowed to follow me. If you want to look for her, you have to look for her during the day."

His voice was a bit high, and both Su Qin and Shui Zheran were woken up.
