Because there were hundreds more people who needed to be accommodated, the temporary camp became extremely bloated and food was suddenly in short supply.
Li Yaoyang ignored him after he was transported. After the crowd was inspected by several guards, Song Zongwu was finally handed over to Ren Qing.
Ren Qing thought about how he was the hands-off shopkeeper when he was at the Fireworks Hall, but now he couldn't help but do the dirty work.
well……
He had no choice but to put aside mining for the time being and focus on dealing with things to avoid too much chaos in the camp.
The new government officials were relatively easy to deal with, after all, there were only about twenty people in total.
Ren Qing took this opportunity to meet them face to face, and used the information flow to check each person carefully, and found nothing unusual.
Orion is a little more troublesome.
Several of them were injured due to wild beast attacks, so they set aside wooden huts for shelter.
Ren Qing asked Wang Sheng to take the hunters, and he quickly signaled the government servants to prepare food. Several bonfires were cooking at the same time, and the camp became smoky.
Then he worked non-stop to arrange the prisoners' accommodation.
Ren Qing thought for a long time.
After much deliberation, only the cave can accommodate it. After more than ten days of hard excavation, it has become more spacious.
If you lock them inside and isolate them from the outside world, it will be easier to manage.
But first, identify the prisoner with the information flow.
Ren Qing checked the information of hundreds of people in a row, his head ached a little, but still gained nothing. It seemed that Song Rong had given up long ago.
However, it was discovered that there were several prisoners with mutilated bodies who had practiced magic. Their left arms were all as weak as if the bones had been taken away.
According to the information flow, they had practiced techniques similar to the Divine Foot Sutra, but they had never gotten started.
This technique is called "Snake Sloughing Technique".
[Snake Sloughing Method]
[Created by Taoist Mu She, practicing this method requires soaking in a specific potion since childhood, making the whole body as soft as if there were no bones, so that it can be practiced. 】
This reminded Ren Qing of the "Snake Scale Gang" in the east district of Sanxiang City. Maybe there was a certain connection between the two.
He asked the police to seal the entrance and exit of the cave, and sent someone to guard the prisoners, and wait until tomorrow to consider how to arrange the mining.
After Ren Qing finished all this, he was still a little worried.
He took some dry food and headed towards the Orion's cabin. As soon as he got close, he smelled a strong medicinal smell.
Ren Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath and touched the blood heart in his arms with his right hand.
There are no problems with the government officials and prisoners, so it is probably Orion. He still remembers the dozen or so people who disappeared in Pingdingshan Village.
If there is a sudden change, I just hope that it will not affect the disaster relief restricted area.
Wu Qian, who was smoking a dry cigarette outside the wooden house, saw Ren Qing approaching and knew that he was in charge of the camp, so he hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Cha, I have five thousand dollars. I used to work in the Yamen. At that time, I worked as a groom for the county master for several years."
Ren Qing nodded and asked: "Old Zhang Liu, how is the injured Orion doing?"
Wu Qian glanced at the other hunters, straightened his back and replied: "You also know, Mr. Cha, that the beasts during this period are very ferocious."
He pointed to the room and continued: "A few young Guawazi were bitten by wild beasts on the road, and now they can only recuperate..."
Ren Qing frowned slightly.
Friday Qianshan smiled and added: "Master Cha, I don't dare to ask for the reward from your Yamen while I am recovering from my injuries. We will look for the herbs ourselves."
"Where are you from, and what kind of beast attacked you?"
"Going back to Chaoye, it's Taoxing Village. I encountered a few hungry wolves when I came out."
Wolf?
Why a wolf again?
"Let me check the injury first."
Ren Qing patted Wu Qian on the shoulder, and the two walked in one after the other.
There were more than a dozen hunters living in the wooden house, so it seemed extremely crowded.
They stared at Ren Qing with suspicious eyes, and took the initiative to move to make room, and the atmosphere became silent.
Ren Qing noticed that there were freshly dried medicinal materials by the window. These medicinal materials were common in the mountains and forests and had the effect of treating trauma.
In the corner of the room lay three hunters who were wailing.
The two hunters were injured in the chest and abdomen, and the remaining one was more seriously injured. His hands and feet had been bandaged. It should have been caused by being attacked by wild beasts.
Simply apply the treated herbs on the wound and replace it every half a day.
The injury was indeed not fatal unless it caused tetanus or rabies.
"Eat something. From now on, you will be rid of the carnivores in the camp."
Ren Qing took out the dry food and distributed some to each hunter, mainly to check the information.
Still nothing out of the ordinary, even a little too normal.
Ask yourself, if Ren Qing and Song Rong's positions were exchanged, he would never miss such a good opportunity to sneak into the camp.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Cha..."
Wu Qian took the rations with a happy face. It seemed that apart from the intimidating guards, the government servants were still easy to talk to.
Ren Qing bent down to touch the injured without believing in evil, and pretended to check the beating on their necks.
The results turned out to be ordinary hunters, and they didn't look like they were possessed by magic. Their minds were not affected during communication.
If Song Zong used his eyes to control others, he would inevitably become as garrulous as the fish seller Zhang Bingquan.
After Ren Qing made sure that nothing was missing, he stood up and walked outside the house.
Could it be that Song Rong was afraid of the large number of guards, so he gave up entering the disaster relief restricted area?
Ren Qing vaguely sensed something was wrong, but all he could do now was to be more careful, as this would not delay the progress of sealing the restricted area.
Fortunately, there is Mu Yi who has transformed into a tree person. She can be on guard at the camp around the clock, just in case.
The next few days were relatively stable. After the government servants no longer had to do hard work, the living environment improved much faster.
The prisoners started to dig into the mountain one after another, but they were all unimportant branches.
They are not allowed to leave the cave on weekdays. Food and water are brought in by the yamen, and the resulting dirt is taken out.
In order to prevent the prisoners from causing trouble, Ren Qing would disperse and redistribute everyone every day, and even if they relieved themselves, they would be supervised by government officials.
The camp is gradually getting back on track.
However, what makes Ren Qing feel strange is that the nearby large beasts have disappeared at the same time, and now the hunters can only catch some hares and voles.
Wu Qian believes that it is caused by frequent hunting.
When Ren Qing had nothing to do, he went out to look for clues with his heavy eyes. When he got a little further away from the camp, he could indeed find wild beasts.
He informed Song Zongwu of the matter. After that, there were a large number of Gu insects within ten miles of the camp, and Li Yaoyang could detect any disturbance.
To be fair, even Ren Qing himself couldn't see any flaws.
He still conducts routine inspections every day, but he is finally able to return to mining to find an opportunity for a breakthrough in the human skin book.
And it’s almost time to try the Da Miao Dao.
After a long period of training, Ren Qing could feel the transformation of his sword skills. As long as you can use the stone wall to go one step further, it's considered an introduction.
