Song Yingbai hurriedly asked with concern: "Did you catch a cold?"

It's not that he's really worried about Jiang Zhan's physical safety, but he just wants to make a good relationship with him, which will be beneficial in the future.

"I'm fine." Jiang Zhan sat upright, "It seems that the centipede ate Xiao Zhuge, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he was wearing Xiao Zhuge's clothes, and Xiao Zhuge disappeared again."

Zheng Yuan shuddered and said, "Has little Zhuge been eaten?"

Song Yingbai also thought of this, "There is also Wei Jun's disappearance, it seems that this monster is also responsible."

"...that monk..." Jiang Zhan said: "Do you still remember the strange monk we met in Ningyu County? After he finished reciting the mantra, a man died on the spot. We once found a centipede in that man's ear, and Wei Jun is also from Ningyu County."

Of course Song Yingbai remembered, nodding frequently, "Yes, there is something wrong with that monk named Pudu Cihang, there can't be such a coincidence, he can't get rid of it. My lord, shall we go back to Ningyu County to investigate?"

"No need. Zheng Yuan, tell the prefect Bi about our analysis. Whether he is posting a list to recruit a warlock to eliminate demons, or personally leading troops to encircle and suppress Pudu Cihang, these are matters within his jurisdiction, and he will deal with them." , let's return tomorrow." Jiang Zhan ordered.

Indeed, no matter what, this is what happened within the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and it should be under the jurisdiction of the prefect. If the analysis is correct, the centipede even ate his father-in-law, so he will not easily bypass it.

Zheng Yuan took the order and went down to work.

The rest of Song Yingbai was sent back by Jiang Zhan to rest.

He suddenly thought of something, hurriedly went down to the first floor, and found the waiter who was playing with the cock.

"Needle? Does the guest officer want to sew clothes?" The waiter put down the work at hand, and quickly found a sewing board and handed it to Song Yingbai, "I specially found a new one for you, and the needles on it have never been used. "

Song Yingbai patted Xiao Er on the shoulder, said with a smile, "It will be recorded in our account, and it will be counted together." He turned and went upstairs.

Halfway up the stairs, he heard Xiao Er calling him, and he turned around, "What else is there?"

Xiao Er hugged a red rooster, "Don't you want one?"

Song Yingbai shook his head, "That's unnecessary."

Back in the house, he simply made an alarm device with a thin wire. After all, the centipede had caused trouble. Although it was unlikely that it would return, it could not be completely denied.

At the same time, not far from the city of Jizhou, a man dressed as a scholar walked hurriedly. It was Ning Caichen.

He didn't dare to stay in the city anymore, if he was caught by the magistrate again, there would be no one to save him.

But he was a poor scholar with no car or horse, so he could only run on two legs. After walking for a long time, he just left the city.

The weather was hot, he wiped the sweat off his face, found a cool shade, took out the water bag, and took a sip.

Suddenly, he heard movement in the grass around him. He nervously clutched the kettle tightly, bent down to look, and saw a black human arm exposed from the grass seed.

He picked up a small stone and threw it at the arm, and the owner of the arm moved.

It seemed that he was not dead, so he walked over cautiously, and saw a young man lying there naked.

"Hey, hello, hello." He picked up the boy, and saw that he was unconscious with his eyes closed, so he handed the water bag to his mouth, "Drink some water, what's wrong with you?"

The water drops fell on the young man's lips, it may be the moisture from the water source, he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the water bag and took a few gulps.

Ning Caichen rubbed his hands in distress, but after all, he was saving lives, so there was nothing he could do.

The boy drank enough water, stared at Ning Caichen with his big black eyes, and licked his lips. It's great. Not only did he have water, he was hungry, and he even had food.

Seeing that his eyes were all black, Ning Caichen wondered if he had some strange disease, "Why are you lying here alone? Wait a minute, I have a change of clothes in my bookcase, you put them on first."

After finishing speaking, he turned and bent over to rummage through the bookcase.

Behind him, the boy moved his neck and opened his mouth.

Just when he was about to finish his sentence, he saw the other party happily turning around and handing over a suit of clothes, "Don't be disgusted, these clothes have been washed."

The young man was taken aback, and sniffed. The clothes he handed over were indeed clean, not at all like Xiao Zhuge's wet, cold and sour clothes.

He blinked, grabbed the clothes and put them on.

Ning Caichen looked at him, "And your hair, it can't be disheveled, only lunatics don't look slovenly, let me comb it for you." As he said, he stroked the boy's hair with his hands, and simply tied it with a hair tie. "This way you won't block your eyes, hey, your hair is pretty good, it's black and shiny."

The boy looked up at him, "Am I not ugly?"

Ning Caichen thought to himself, although this child looks weird and doesn't seem to be smart, but he must be the heart of his parents. Where? I'll take you home."

"I...I..." The boy asked back, "Where is your home?"

"I don't have a home, alas, the world is my home." Ning Cai said, "Why are you lying in the grass?"

"I..." He remembered, he drank the terrible water, then passed out, and then he heard the rooster crowing, and ran out in fright, and he couldn't remember after that.

In the future, you must not drink that kind of bad water, well, people call it wine.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his stomach. He bent over and retched a few times, but he didn't spit out anything, so he put his hand into his throat.

Ning Caichen recited it to him, "You don't mind." Then he watched helplessly as the young man took out something like a jade plaque from his throat.

The young man let out a long breath, "It's comfortable." He accidentally swallowed Xiao Zhuge's jade plaque, and didn't digest it.

Ning Caichen looked at him in surprise, "No wonder you are lying on the side of the road, eating anything will ruin your stomach."

Rinse the jade tablet with the remaining water in the water bag.

See the engraving in small seal script on the front: Zhuge

On the back are strange runes.

He felt that he had seen this jade tablet before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, maybe he was too tired and had an illusion.

He wiped the jade badge and put it in his sleeve, and said to the young man, "What's your name?"

"Name? My name should be Centipede."

"Oh, Wu Gong? It's not bad." Ning Caichen said: "There is no village or shop here, even if you want to find your family, you have to go to Ningyu County below."

After walking a few steps, seeing the boy still standing there, he turned his head and said, "This is a wild place, you can't stay here, let's go, find a place to rest before dark."

Wu Gong was stunned, and ran quickly, following Ning Caichen's footsteps.
