Chapter 495 - 495: Headless Fly
He looked at the tightly packed grain carts in front of him, waved his hand, and ordered, “Go, check them all. Don’t let go of any place!”
Forget it. Regardless of whether it was there or not, it was better to check it first. If he could not find it, he would think of another way. He could not just listen to Grain Officer Wu’s words. What if the thing was really inside but was ignored?
Seeing the soldiers begin to unload the rations for inspection, Grain Officer Wu hurriedly stopped them and said, “General. What exactly are you looking for? I’m familiar with this, so I’ll get someone to help you find it. If you unload all the grain and fodder, it’ll be difficult to load them up later. What if you delay the journey?”
If he really knew what that thing was, Deputy General Yin would not have been flying around like a headless fly.
Although he was not sure if that thing was here, he believed Ming Zhiyan’s words. If the General said that there was something abnormal here, then there must be something!
He did not care at all. “So what if it’s unloaded? I have so many people here.
What’s there to be afraid of? The most important thing now is to find what the
General is looking for. This is more important than anything else.”
“General, what are you looking for?” Grain Officer Wu asked with a bitter expression. General Yin, tell me and I’ll help you find it. Isn’t it better to have more people?” It would save him from making a mess here!
“Just find something that doesn’t belong here,” Vice General Yin said directly.
Grain Officer Wu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What did he mean by something that did not belong here? Did the stones brought up by the wheels of the carriage count?
He suspected that General Yin was toying with him, but he had no evidence!
Hundreds of soldiers moved all the grain from the carriage and searched inch by inch, but they found nothing.
Vice General Yin opened the jar containing the cured meat, and the fragrance of the meat instantly filled the air.
Smelling the fragrance of the meat, Vice General Yin muttered doubtfully,
“Could it be that the smell of meat attracted the poisonous creatures?”
Only then did Grain Officer Wu understand what Deputy General Yin was looking for. He laughed and said, “How is this possible? The marinated meat is sealed in a jar. How could it be so easily smelled by those poisonous creatures?”
Vice General Yin shook his head. “That might not be the case. What if those poisonous creatures have better noses than us?”
Grain Officer Wu still felt that it was impossible. He said, “It’s not like we didn’t bring these cured meat into the mountains before, but we didn’t see anything attracted. ”
“Besides, if it’s really because of the cured meat, their target should be these carriages, but they came for the people instead.”
Deputy General Yin thought about it and agreed. He cut off a piece of bacon and chewed it in satisfaction before sighing. “Alright, I’ll go to other places to see if anyone brought something that they shouldn’t have.”
Grain Officer Wu gave him an idea. “Why don’t you ask the military doctor if there’s anything that can attract these poisonous creatures? 1 don’t think it’s possible for ordinary things to do so. Only those with a special smell can have such great power.”
Vice General Yin’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, why didn’t I think of that! Old Wu, thank you!’
Looking at Vice General Yin’s back that was about to leave excitedly, Grain Officer Wu hurriedly stopped him and said, “Hey, hey, you haven’t packed my rations yet! Pack the rations before leaving!’
