"I saw it, I saw it..." The fool started the car, "Taoist Priest, do we want to catch up?"
"Ah? Can we still catch up?" Xiaolan asked.
"Yes," Baomu silently took off the mask and took a deep breath, "it has a smell."
Following Baomu's instructions, their car drove wildly on the street. From time to time, the mouse could be seen flying across the dark night on both sides of the street, indicating that Baomu's command was not wrong.
After a while, the mouse left the main road and the car drove onto a small road without street lights.
The path spread forward, and the car turned a few more times. Suddenly, there was a bump - they had already driven onto a dirt road that had not yet been paved with cement.
Unknowingly, they left the city center and followed the mouse to a completely unfamiliar place.
There were thick grass on both sides of the dirt road. The mouse no longer concealed its figure and was running hard at the end of their high beam. Fool and Baomu stared at the mouse's back, while the other people looked around.
.
"Where is this?" Qin Yin frowned because of the shock, "Are we still in the urban area of Wuyu Town?"
"It should still be in the city," Luo Jiutian said, grabbing the handle. "There are abandoned buildings on both sides. The residents here have just moved away."
The dirt road was very wide, and their car jumped forward on the road. Not long after, the scene at the end of the dirt road appeared in front of them.
It was an abandoned three-story building.
The area around the small building was covered with vigorous weeds. Looking at the empty brick building, Xiaolan thought of something.
"This is like a factory." Xiaolan said.
"Yes," the Taoist priest nodded in agreement, "it's an abandoned factory."
"Ah!" the fool wailed, "it got in!"
When everyone took a look, the mouse's figure had indeed disappeared. It seemed that the little thing had hidden in the ruins, and it was difficult to find it now.
"Baomu, can you still distinguish its taste?...Baomu, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing the fool's words, everyone looked at Baomu, who had been silent for a long time.
Baomu's face was frighteningly pale. He stared blankly at the place where the mouse disappeared, his eyes a little lost.
"Baomu?" The Taoist priest in the back row shook his shoulders.
"Ah, I..." Baomu woke up from a dream and said tremblingly, "I can smell it."
"That's good," the fool took off his seat belt, "then we should be able to catch him."
"but……"
Everyone stopped, waiting for Baomu's "but" words.
"But it's not the only one here."
Baomu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Luo Jiutian retracted his hand to open the door, "What do you mean?"
"There are countless smells here," Baomu said word by word, "that is to say, there are countless mice here."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The night penetrated through the cracks in the car door and enveloped them.
"Good guy," the fool tightened his grip on the steering wheel and sneered, "this is leading us to our lair."
"Are we still getting off the car?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"Of course we have to go down," Qin Yin said first. "Wouldn't it be better to go into the nest? We can catch as many as we want."
It's incredibly courageous to have such an idea.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest also nodded slowly, "Yes... but we have to leave two people to guard Zhang Boyin."
"Baomu, please stay." The fool turned his head and looked at Baomu, who was still shaking a little. "Baomu is already sick and can no longer touch those things."
"Well," the Taoist priest immediately agreed, turning to look at Xiaolan, "Then the other one..."
"Just ask Ling," Xiaolan said quickly when she saw this, "Ask Ling is afraid of mice."
Wen Ling quickly waved her hand to deny, "I didn't..."
"The plague has had a great impact on Wenling, so let her stay," Xiaolan said in a rapid-fire manner, bullying Wenling because of her shortcomings in oral expression, "Otherwise, if she is in danger, she will need to cool down even to call for help.
.”
"Then you're not afraid?" Luo Jiutian asked jokingly.
"Of course I'm not afraid anymore."
"But you are shaking."
"Where am I shaking?" Xiaolan held down her legs that were shaking due to anxiety, "I'm warming up."
After confirming the personnel, the Taoist priest planned to give a few final words before closing the car door, but he looked at Baomu and Wenling, who looked like herbivores, and sighed. He didn't know who should take care of whom. These two people looked like
All a little pitiful.
"Just... take care of yourself," the Taoist priest said. "Lock the car door. Don't open the door when others come."
What's going on with this kind of exhortation from a mother like she's going out to buy groceries?
"Don't worry Baomu," Qin Yin also said before closing the door, "I will definitely catch a big mouse for you."
Baomu shivered greatly and the car door closed.
Qin Yin didn't know why, but she was full of enthusiasm for catching mice. The Taoist priest stopped her from rolling up her sleeves and looked at her with dissatisfaction at the naughty kid No. 1, "Everyone, don't let your skin be exposed. Wear two more layers of masks.
We only have this...Xiaoyin, tuck your trouser legs into your socks, yes, just like Xiaolan, idiot, where is your mask? Why are you wearing just one?"
"Cover your mouth."
"Hurry up and put on three more..."
"I'm suffocating."
"Brother Fool, be obedient," Xiao Lan slapped the mask on Fool's face before the Taoist Master could get angry, "Believe me, you won't die if you hold it in, really."
The Taoist priest crossed his arms and turned to look at the ruins.
He hates unexpected situations and the feeling of losing control.
This will remind him of the first joke fate played on him.
Everyone was getting ready to go, and the fool reluctantly wrapped himself into a rice dumpling. On this summer night, they were already covered in sweat before they set off.
"Should we catch that mouse, or should we just catch one at random?" Luo Jiutian finally remembered the purpose of asking about this trip.
"None of them..." The Taoist priest shook his head, "We are going to find the secrets in this factory."
The Secret of the Rat Pack.
The secret of the plague.
Everyone understood it instantly.
"After entering, we must not separate," the Taoist priest stood at the front, his eyes circling around his companions, "Take your own weapons, let's set off."
When Xiaolan saw Luo Jiutian summoning Panlongchi, she felt embarrassed to summon her impostor, so she picked up Jasmine's Spirit Locking Whip and followed him. Qin Yin, an assistant who had no weapons, just picked up one.
A wooden stick, the fool picked up a broken wooden board and blocked it in front of everyone. A sense of security suddenly came.
Although they couldn't see it themselves, they knew that Wenling and Baomu were definitely watching them at this time.
Don't worry.
A group of people stepped on the weeds stained with night dew and walked towards the entrance of the factory.
