Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 25: Green Water Silkworm

In the water tank in the yard, several translucent water insects were floating on the water, twisting their bodies from time to time and moving slowly.

These are the green water silkworms that Song Changming bought on the market. The small ones are only one inch long, while the big ones are one finger long.

Because of their average quality, the price of these green water silkworms is not high, only a few dozen to a hundred copper coins each.

Song Changming and his son were observing the condition of these water silkworms.

"Is that silkworm dying soon?" Father Song suddenly pointed at one of the silkworms that was motionless and said.

"It seems so." Song Changming was speechless and touched the water in the tank.

The water temperature seemed to be just right, but the water silkworm still seemed unable to adapt and could hardly survive even for a day.

I have to say that these water silkworms are really hard to raise.

Even with a breeding manual, this is by no means an easy task.

"Forget it, let me think about it slowly. I can regard this first batch of silkworms as buying experience. The dead ones can also be used for me to practice martial arts. It's not too much of a loss." Song Changming shook his head.

He had a vague feeling that among these nearly ten water silkworm seedlings, perhaps not a single one would survive in the end.

Fortunately, the body of the green water silkworm is quite beneficial to warriors and is a definite tonic. It is not a waste for him to raise it to death.

Even Song's father still felt a little distressed. In his eyes, these blue water silkworms were bought at a high price, and the cost of trial and error was a bit high.

"Okay, Dad, it's getting late. Let's wait and see tomorrow." Song Changming put the big wooden lid on the water tank and said to his father.

"it is good."

After watching the green water silkworms he had just raised, Song Changming continued to practice sword skills and strengthen his body. He only rested after his status was restored to "focused" tomorrow.

In his mind, he reviewed the previous fight with the three killers, summed up his experience, and thought about his shortcomings in actual combat.

The next day, when the lid was opened, two of the nine water silkworms were found dead.

"Not bad, at least the remaining six can adapt to the water quality in this tank." Song Changming smiled and took away the two corpses of the green water silkworms, preparing to eat them after he came back in the evening to practice with the knife.

He had eaten one of these green water silkworms yesterday.

The texture is somewhat chewy, a bit like jelly, quite refreshing, with a slight fishy smell, but it's not bad.

As for the effect, if you only eat a low-quality water silkworm, the effect will definitely not be that obvious.

Song Changming also only felt that there was a slight effect, and that his body felt a little more energetic, that was all.

After saying a few words to Song's father, he went to work at the Patrol Armory.

A few days later, the identities of the three killers were revealed through torture.

They claimed to be from a faction called Dark Night Pavilion in the martial arts world.

The Dark Night Pavilion is well-known in the entire underground world of the Great Han Dynasty, and the assassins it produces have accomplished many great deeds.

One of its main businesses was hiring people to kill people, and even many officials of the Dahan Dynasty were killed by it.

It is for this reason that many assassins in his pavilion are on the wanted list of the Dahan Dynasty, and the rewards are considerable.

The three killers who caused unrest in the entire Houli Street this time were just three low-level killers of the Dark Night Pavilion.

He was hired by someone to carry out an assassination attempt on the Patrol Guard.

As for who hired them behind the scenes, the three of them insisted that it was the Tengya Mountain bandits.

Liang Chuanshan and others did not completely believe this. The assassins of the Dark Night Pavilion had all undergone special training, and it was rumored that they had never leaked the information of the employer behind the mission. This was the key to the Dark Night Pavilion's success, and its reputation was excellent.

The reason why these three killers claimed that their employer was the Tengya Mountain bandits after being caught might be that they were instructed to do so on purpose in order to divert the trouble away.

The only interaction between their Houli Street Patrol Division and the Tengyashan bandit army was Chen Beihu, who was killed before.

If the other party planned this to avenge a small leader named Chen Beihu, it is not impossible, but it is still a bit far-fetched.

Chen Beihu was not considered a big shot in the entire Tengyashan bandit army, so there shouldn't be such a big fuss about him being offered a bounty for his death.

On the fifth day of the interrogation, the three killers suddenly died in prison. The cause of death was the outbreak of toxins in their bodies.

After that, no more clues or information were found and the case was suspended again.

Even if the culprit was really the bandits from Tengya Mountain, it would be unwise for them, with only a hundred or so patrolmen from a city district, to go and attack Tengya Mountain which had tens of thousands of bandits.

Fortunately, the three killers were caught and the serial assassinations were successfully stopped. Posting the notice managed to save some face for the Patrol Armor Division.

The patrol guards of the Patrol Armor Division also successfully eliminated the safety hazard and no longer had to worry.

Life returned to normal again, and Song Changming served as deputy for nearly a year.

This day is a full moon night.

On Houli Street, a nimble figure was flying over the eaves and walls between the streets and alleys.

This person was wearing a ghost face mask and kept looking around at every corner, looking extremely alert.

"You think you can catch the Ghost-Faced Bandit just by relying on the patrol officers in the Patrol Armor Division? That's just wishful thinking!"

The man in the ghost mask chuckled disdainfully, leaped again, tapped the edge of the wall with his toes, somersaulted, and landed on the bricks and tiles on the roof.

Looking at the beautiful moonlight above my head, I couldn't help but stretch lazily.

"The moonlight is so beautiful, it's a pity that I can't stay here for too long, otherwise I should really bring a beauty to enjoy the moon."

As soon as he finished speaking, several crossbow arrows shot from below.

The man in the ghost mask seemed to have opened his third eye. At the critical moment, he moved his body and slightly turned sideways to avoid several crossbow arrows.

He gave a mocking smile to the patrolling guards below.

"You are catching up so fast, are you ambushing me?"

The man with the ghost mask realized that these patrol guards were well prepared, so he was no longer arrogant. He turned over and tried to get off the roof and go into the alley.

Just as he fell to the ground, a cold knife light swept straight towards his face, making him feel cold in his heart.

At the critical moment, two daggers suddenly popped out from his sleeves, and he held them in his palms to meet the opponent's blade.

He was quite confident in his ability to wield dual swords, and many warriors had died at his hands.

But today, it is different.

The next moment, there was a muffled sound, and the masked man was knocked to the ground, with two daggers flying out of his hands.

The mask covering his face was cut into pieces by the blade, revealing his true appearance underneath the mask.

A panicked face with a bloody scar in the middle caused by a knife blade.

"Sir, sir, please spare me, please spare my life." Being pointed at by a long knife, the Ghost-faced Bandit looked at the armored patrolman in front of him with some fear. He no longer had the slightest contempt he had just had, but only begged for mercy in a low voice.
