I had heard in the small village that there was a rat infestation here in Sanmu Town. Xu Guangling only thought it was a simple plague caused by too many rats, but he never thought it was such a disaster.
Tragic!
In terms of the situation, the battle just now was a huge defeat for the Earth Rats, but this "big defeat" was definitely acceptable, and in terms of its reproductive capacity, it might not even be a serious injury.
Xu Guangling didn't know how fertile these rats were, but they must be better than humans, much, much better!
This does not require any professional knowledge, just based on "common sense".
The larger the creature, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and measured by the size difference between humans and these rodents, the difference in fecundity is even dozens of times smaller.
The difference of dozens of times is only the difference between the first generation.
Counting iterative reproduction, humans and rats are simply incomparable.
Therefore, no matter where in the world, the ecological environment of large creatures is always fragile. No matter how stable it seems, it is actually vulnerable. A slightly stronger wind and rain can cause it to rain.
The wind blows them away. But those small creatures may be very tenacious and live from the beginning of the world to the end of the world.
This is too far gone.
Right now, the human side seems a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, those rats were making trouble here. If they were in that small village, they might have wiped out that small village in one day.
And the only reason why there is no rat plague there but there is here, and why the people here don't move, is probably that red fruit tree.
Xu Guangling glanced at the tree in the center of the town.
The area around the tree, including the immediate surroundings, was clean.
There was no trace of blood on the ground.
It is in sharp contrast to the mess in other places.
And the part below the ground...
The area not close to the tree was still very "clean", with not even a wood rat's nest.
In and around the entire town, none of the nests extending in all directions below, not even one! extended around the tree.
Looking at it alone, this may not seem like much, but you must know that this is Miki Town.
Three trees!
In addition to the red fruit trees, the two trees located on the outside of the town in the direction of the entrance have densely packed nests of earth rats under the trees!
This is no longer a question of whether rats are a plague or not.
Instead, the above ground and below the ground seemed to be divided into two worlds.
In the world above, humans are in charge.
The world below is filled with rats.
Here, the two sides started a fierce struggle and confrontation around the red fruit tree. At the same time, both sides had a "tacit understanding" to stay away from the red fruit tree to some extent.
There were children crying in the field.
Especially the big man with serious injuries on his face, a little boy stood beside him, sobbing.
At this time, Ji Feiyan stepped forward.
She didn't say anything, she just raised her hand and pointed it in the direction of the big man's face four or five steps away.
Although the war had just ended and the townspeople were a little shaken, many people still immediately focused their attention on Ji Feiyan. After all, her actions were very conspicuous.
At this moment, water condensed out of thin air and appeared in front of the big man's face.
"Do not move."
Just as the big man made an instinctive movement to lean back, Ji Feiyan said softly.
The big man didn't move anymore, but opened his eyes unconsciously, looking at the water hanging in front of his eyelids at a very close distance.
It was too close, so he couldn't see anything clearly.
The world in front of me is hazy.
And there were exclamations from other people around.
That's because the water swirled around the injured part of the big man's face, and as it swirled around, the ferocious-looking outward wounds that penetrated the entire face from top to bottom were all healed.
, then, then...
And then in this period of time, it healed?
Completely healed?
Gao Mujin and other people, old and young, approached unconsciously.
But they didn't get too close. They were all about ten or twenty steps away from the big man. The child next to the big man, Ji Feiyan, who was four or five steps away, was about ten or twenty steps away, but every one of them had their eyes wide open.
, looking at the big man's face, or looking at Ji Feiyan's hand that just retracted.
Your face doesn’t hurt anymore?
Even, refreshing and cool?
Just now it was still painful as if it was heartbreaking, especially the injured part on the right side near the eye. Although he closed his eyes in advance and dodged an important moment when he was caught by the beast, his entire eyeball was twitching.
And every time he jumped, his whole head was stinging.
Now, let alone the sting, there is no more pain at all?
Such an obvious feeling!
"Abba, the injury on your face."
The little boy kept his head raised. At this time, he exclaimed loudly, and the shock was obviously mixed with great joy, "The injury on your face is healed! It's all healed!"
From the little boy's exclamation, from the looks of other people around him, and from his own feelings, he probably realized something. Unconsciously, the big man stretched out a trembling hand and touched the injured area on his face.
He didn't dare touch it directly.
Instead, he moved closer bit by bit very carefully and tentatively.
At this moment, almost everyone in the field was watching his actions as if in slow motion.
but.
No one made a sound.
There was no urging or anything.
The entire field seemed to have been pressed on the still button, there was no sound or movement, even the crying of some children stopped unconsciously, only the big man's hand was moving slowly.
It's close to the face.
It's close to the wound.
Up to the eyelids!
As if he was finally confirmed, the big man's entire hand suddenly covered his face, with obvious pressure and movement.
Then, he let go.
Put it in front of yourself.
Those hands were clean, with no blood at all!
And just now, my face didn’t hurt, and I didn’t touch any scars or anything, it was smooth!
The big man came back to his senses, and his expression instantly became excited.
Facing Ji Feiyan, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Gao Mushi thanks the angel for saving his life!"
A life-saving grace?
Ji Feiyan was a little confused, but she didn't say anything and just nodded lightly.
At this time, the old man Gao Mujin finally came forward. He should be the mayor or something like that.
Almost as soon as he took a step, he raised his fists. When he came closer, he bowed with excitement and obvious respect and said in awe: "On behalf of Gao Mushi and the entire Sanmu Town, I would like to thank Lord Angel for your help.
"
Well, it’s said to be the entire Sanmu Town.
Ji Feiyan stood there and did not move. She just stretched out her hand again and made a faint stroke in front of her body.
Dozens of water stains scattered in the air, and each water stain corresponds to an injured person.
In just a few short breaths, all traces of water disappeared.
At the same time, all the people who were injured just now, no matter where they were injured or whether they were minor or serious, were all healed at this moment, and they didn't even have any scars.
surprise.
exclaimed.
Startled.
Terrified.
Then, I don't know who started it. Many people knelt down on one knee, facing Ji Feiyan, and knelt down for a large area.
"With a little effort, get up, get up, get up, everyone, no need to be polite!" Ji Feiyan raised her hands and said calmly.
At this time, old man Gao Mujin clasped his hands into fists and bowed even more deeply.
"Lao Jin, let's talk in another place." Xu Guangling walked forward and gently patted Gao Mujin on the shoulder.
The effect of Ji Feiyan's treatment was extremely obvious, and it played a huge role in promoting the relationship between the two parties.
When he returned to the previous hall again, Takagi Jinfang was still respectful, and even more awe-inspiring, but the kind of closeness that was revealed unconsciously was something he had never seen before.
Not only Gao Mujin, but also several big men in the same hall, whether they were smiling or not, their faces all showed a sense of closeness and respect, but the vague vigilance and defensiveness before were gone.
"Are these rats so rampant?"
It was Xu Guangling who started the questioning.
"Yes, sir." Gao Mujin answered with a bit of resentment and helplessness. He was probably used to it. "Every year from August to June, they will have trouble at least once every month, and even more in May and June."
Five or six times a month, and once every few days."
"Then, whether it is their casualties or our casualties, it will..."
Having said this, Gao Mujin's tone was a bit low and obscure, and he didn't say any more.
Xu Guangling nodded, indicating that he understood.
He did understand.
Based on Gao Mujin's words and some other bits and pieces, he had instantly sketched out the basic ecological structure of the town.
Red fruit tree!
Everything revolves around the red fruit tree!
Every year from August to June of the following year, there is a gap of about two months in between, and this gap is mostly the date when mangrove fruits mature.
Almost throughout the year when the mangrove fruits are immature, the two sides engage in fierce battles.
In particular, as the mangrove fruits get closer to maturity, the wars become more frequent and probably more tragic.
As for the battle casualties on both sides...
It's probably the nourishment for the red fruit trees.
"How do you divide years and months here?"
"Why did you say it was a life-saving grace just now? Considering the injury of Gao Mushi, it stands to reason that he will not die?"
"Why do you call us angels? What do you mean?"
In fact, there are many questions to ask.
But if he didn't want to expose his own "ignorance" too directly, Xu Guangling could only make insinuations, and even if he was insinuations, he had to be very careful, lest any part of his secrets would be exposed accidentally, and it would be a big reveal.
The stuffing kind.
Just like you are walking on the street one day, and a stranger asks you:
"How many moons do you have here? Is there always only one moon every month?"
"Are all the people here with two legs?"
You will think he is crazy.
But if there are any prerequisites for you to confirm that the other person is not crazy, let alone asking random questions.
Then you'll probably be horrified.
The kind that makes your hair stand on end, has goosebumps all over your body, and fills you with fear in your heart.
As for those who are not surprised, they are happy.
