Dressed as a villain's wife

In the city lord's palace, Nanzhi, Mingqin and Shen Miaomiao were sitting together in trance.

The biogas digester has been built, but there is still a need to replace the rubber hose to transport the gas.

It's not that they haven't thought about using bamboo poles, but the bamboos in the city only have dry products and cannot be bent or twisted. The ornamental bamboos planted by wealthy families either rot due to soil pollution, or they grow too small to be able to take on this important task.

Just as I was worrying, I heard the gasping sounds of several little children coming from the wall.

"Zhiyu! Where did you sneak away again!"

Nanzhi saw several little children lying on the wall, and their faces suddenly became black.

None of these dolls are worry-free!

Shen Zhiyu stuck out his tongue and did not defend himself. Instead, he quickly jumped off the wall and was ready to catch them below.

Among them, only Yueyue can't climb the wall, and Yuanbao is too small, so they don't worry about letting her jump down by herself.

One or two of them got off the wall, and Shen Zhiyu ran over.

"You went to the city wall again?"

"Ah."

The little kids nodded guiltily.

Seeing them being so honest, Nanzhi felt angry and a little funny at the same time.

"Then you still dare to walk through this wall?"

"Auntie, we brought something back!"

Shen Zhiyu knew that if he didn't change the topic, he would be beaten, so he quickly took out the porcelain bottle in his arms.

"what?"

Mingqin and Shen Miaomiao looked at the dolls and the porcelain bottles on the table, their heads full of questions.

"Yes, it crawled out of that monster's head!"

As Shen Zhiyu spoke, he glanced at Nanzhi, trying to see her face clearly.

"what?"

Nanzhi did not pursue the matter of their disobedience and running around, but was attracted by Shen Zhiyu's words.

From the heads of those monsters?

What was it that time?

Just in case, Shen Miaomiao went to the house and brought out a copper basin. Then they carefully opened the porcelain bottle and poured something down.

The alcohol dropped with the mouth of the bottle, and just when Nanzhi was feeling helpless, a lump of something fell out of the bottle.

Looking at the translucent thing in the copper basin, Nanzhi frowned, subconsciously raised his head, and met Mingqin's gaze.

"Parasite!"

The two voices sounded together, and they became even more confused when they looked at the contents of the copper basin.

There are actually many parasites that can survive in the human brain.

Neither of them are experts in this field.

Coupled with the habits of these monsters that they know, it is not uncommon for them to be infected with parasites when eating raw meat or even...the same kind.

But the parasite form in this basin always makes people feel that something is wrong.

"Auntie, it's very smart, as if it can understand people's speech!"

Shen Zhiyu pointed at the parasite in the basin and said.

The parasite originally looked completely dead, but suddenly trembled slightly when Shen Zhiyu finished speaking.

Nanzhi squinted his eyes and had some guesses in his mind.

As if to experiment, Nanzhi asked someone to bring a bucket of water.

In the water was a palm-sized crucian carp swimming restlessly in the water.

When they poured the water into the basin, they only saw the parasite, which had been motionless just now and pretended to be dead, twisting rapidly as if it had been suddenly stimulated by something.

The translucent body is almost invisible in the water. Only the bright red thin line in its body is very obvious, allowing people to see its movements clearly.

"Put the fish in."

Nanzhi whispered.

Xiaomi rolled up his sleeves, caught the crucian carp and put it into the basin.

As if sensing some danger, the crucian carp twisted its body wildly in Xiaomi's hand, trying to break away.

The moment it entered the water, the crucian carp seemed a little dazed. It stayed quiet for a moment, and then started to flap its tail in an attempt to jump out of the copper basin.

As it moved, a lot of water splashed out of the copper basin, so Nanzhi simply asked everyone to stay away so that they were not splashed.

After the water surface calmed down, Shen Miaomiao said with some doubts.

"What about the bug?"

The parasite that was just on the edge of the water basin suddenly disappeared.

"In the gills of that fish."

Nanzhi's face didn't look good.

She had been observing the parasite just now.

From the moment the crucian carp enters the water, the parasite has already started to move.

While the crucian carp was swimming, the parasite quickly retracted into its gills.

This is not like an ordinary parasite, but more like some kind of intelligent creature.

"Nanzhi, tell me, are those rats and monsters affected by these parasites?"

Rather than this small world trying to destroy itself and then create a new species, she prefers to believe that a new type of parasite parasitized the brains of mice and then infected humans.

And the latter really makes more sense.

"possible."

Nanzhi's face looked terrible.

If these parasites can live on fish.

Their food source is no longer safe.

Just in case, they can no longer fish in the river, and the people who have been getting water from the river have to go to wells instead.

After taking away a few babies, Mingqin and Nanzhi only felt more and more headaches.

The good news is that they may know why those monsters become like this.

The bad news is that they will have one less food source in the future, and they will have to find ways to avoid being parasitized.

In fact, few people nowadays have the habit of boiling water and letting it cool before drinking.

Almost everyone pours water into the water tank and drinks raw water when thirsty.

Less than half an hour later, the crucian carp in the water basin suddenly struggled and twisted like crazy, and finally calmed down. When they looked sideways, they saw that the crucian carp had exposed its white belly and was doing its best. Blood gushed out from the fish's gills.

Then the parasite shook its body in the direction of Nanzhi as if provocative, then shrank into a ball and sank to the bottom of the water.

Mingqin was angered by its appearance and wanted to pick it out with chopsticks, but was stopped by Nanzhi.

"Don't touch it until they come back."

Mingqin nodded, and the three of them moved further away from the copper basin.

The parasite was a little disappointed, and the whole city was silent in the blood.

There was a fierce fight between the two sides on the city wall, and the corpses of many monsters had fallen under the city wall.

The stench of blood and burnt flesh filled the air, making people retching.

It lasted for a full hour before the monsters faded away unwillingly.

Everyone was exhausted but held on to prevent themselves from falling. Only after the monsters completely disappeared into the woods did they dare to collapse to the ground.

Nazhi sent people to the city gate.

Although Shen Wenchen didn't understand Nanzhi's intention, he still found the corpse of a monster that died on the city wall.

The body was completely charred, and the head and neck were also scorched.

With one strike of the sword, the body and head were separated, and a translucent long worm appeared in front of his eyes.
