Chapter 190 The Place Abandoned by the Grassland
"But where did this kind of bug come from? We have been grazing in this pasture for many years, and have not changed to other places. The change in the flock only started last year. If there was this kind of bug here already , something like this should have happened a long time ago." Nice asked incomprehensibly.

"En..." Chen Ziyang scratched his head, and then he said a few thoughts of his own, such as the livestock bought from outside, or the infection from the livestock on the nearby grassland, but these few thoughts of his All these ideas were rejected by Nice one by one.

Their livestock has been raised for many years, but they have never bought them in the past few years.Moreover, the herdsmen on the grasslands are very far apart, and there is little contact with each other.It is also impossible to spread it from the nearby towns, because there is no way of infection, and I have never heard of such strange things happening in other places, nor have I heard of anyone in my group with a high fever, or It was bitten by this kind of insect.

This is strange, this kind of bug will not come out for no reason, Chen Ziyang thought.Since it was not contagious, it could only be brought directly from the place where the bugs gathered.So Chen Ziyang continued to ask:

"It is said that besides sucking blood, this kind of bug also likes to eat carrion. Is there any place nearby where there are a lot of dead livestock or dead people piled up? It is likely that they came from there. A large number of carrion gathered place, and that's usually where the bug lives."

Nice shook his head again. Most of the livestock that died on the grassland would be eaten. If some died of diseases, they would be buried far away.Moreover, they were not buried in the same place, so such a place as Chen Ziyang said does not exist nearby.

This is not right, and that is not right, Chen Ziyang really can't figure it out.He carefully looked at the entire sheepfold. There should be no problem with the wood of the sheepfold in the besieged city. The wood has been standing here for many years, and the sheep have been raised for many years, and these sheep are still the same.Then the only foreign thing in the sheepfold is... fodder!It's these piles of winter fodder!
"Nice, where did you get the grass for the winter? Do you mow and stack the grass from the same area every year?"

"Ah, grass?" Niss frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Yes, it's grass! These bugs should have come with these grasses.

In previous years, every winter, we mowed straw in the nearby pastures, but this year the nearby grass was almost eaten up, and the new grass did not grow very high.So we changed a pasture, mowed the grass far away from here, and came back to store it.We had never been to that pasture before, because it was too far away, and thinking about it now, it is very likely that these bugs came from there. "

"That's right. Is there a cemetery in that grassland, or a place like a livestock cemetery? Generally, this kind of pubic lice can only be born in places with a lot of carrion." Chen Ziyang asked.

"I don't know about that, I haven't heard of it! But that place is quite evil, and our local people call it the Howling Slope. There are several hills there, and an air vent is formed between the hills. And it's very windy there.

When there is a strong wind blowing through there, the wind will produce a lot of weird wind noise under the action of the mountain, which sounds very scary, especially at night, so it got such a name. "

"Okay, it's getting late today, let's go back and have a rest. Go to that place tomorrow to see if this is the case. After all, these thoughts of mine are just guesses now. If there is really a gathering place for these pubic lice, by then Get some medicine or something and sprinkle it in that direction, so that your sheep will not suffer from these diseases again. If not, we have to find the source of these lice again."

The four went home.After a long day of exhaustion, the meal at night was richer than usual. It may be that Nice saw something about the flock, so he specially asked his family to cook a few more dishes.But the wine was gone, and the three of them dared not drink any more wine. At most, each of them drank two bowls of kumiss to warm their stomachs.

Nice asked his family to go to the animal husbandry station in a nearby town to ask if there was any special medicine for grass lice, and to buy some to spray all the sheep in the flock first.If Ghost Howling Slope is really a gathering place for these pubic lice, then I will buy some more and scatter there, and I will not go there to weed grass in the future, and there should be no such thing.

Early the next morning, several people made adequate preparations.They got some gloves and some big rags to keep the lice from biting, and each of them took a bundle of duct tape to wrap around the collar and cuffs.

The part above the neck really has no protection, so I just let it go, but fortunately, even if the face is bitten by pubic lice, it can be seen at a glance.

Several people were still riding horses, and rushed towards the direction of the howling slope that Niss said.On the way, Nice gave a detailed introduction to this place called Ghost Howling Po.

According to him, the local people call this place abandoned by the grassland.Because people from generation to generation have said that this place is very unlucky, and there are often lost cattle and sheep that enter this area, and they can no longer be found, even the bones are gone.Had it not been for the fact that there was no place to mow grass last year, Nice and the others would not have chosen this place.

However, this place is not as evil as the older generation said. In fact, many people have been here, and I have never heard of anyone missing here.For example, the herdsmen who came here to look for the lost cattle and sheep came back safe and sound. Even if the cattle and sheep were not found, it is very likely that these cattle and sheep were not lost here at all.

A few years ago, journalists from a TV station came here. They brought a lot of equipment and said that they were specialized in reporting some strange things in various places and wanted to uncover the secrets.Hearing that there is something evil going on here, I came here to report.

At that time, this group of people was Gu Nisi who was their guide, because Nisi's Mandarin is relatively standard.After Nice took them to Howling Slope, he helped them unload the two-ox cart of survey and camera equipment and went back.These people took down Nice's phone number and said they would call him when they got back and ask Nice to come pick them up again.But Nice didn't receive any calls from them again. It is estimated that they were looking for someone else when they left.

Later, Nice stared at the TV for two months, but he didn't see any TV station reporting on Howling Slope.At that time, he thought that his satellite TV could receive too few stations, and there were no small local stations, so he didn't see it.

Ghost Howling Slope is far away from the yurt where Nice lives. It took a few people riding horses for half a day to see the place from a distance.After a brief rest and a few mouthfuls of dry food, the group of four continued on their way.
