After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 254 Something is wrong

"I have sorted out all the information about the victims. Doctor Deng, please take a look first."

It was not the first time that Mu Baobao met the county magistrate, but it was the first time that he faced the county magistrate directly.

At the last banquet, she was so busy eating that she didn't even look at the county magistrate carefully.

Doctor Deng nodded, held her in his arms, and followed the county magistrate into the room.

The county magistrate said in detail, "There have been more and more disaster victims in the town in the past two days."

"From the very beginning, I arranged for all the victims to live outside the town. This was to prevent them from doing anything bad after entering the town."

How many of the disaster victims who managed to reach the town alive have good hearts?

Doctor Deng agreed, "You are right to do this."

"I heard that some disaster victims are already cannibalizing human flesh. If you let these victims into the town, I'm afraid it will cause a big disturbance."

The county magistrate knew more, but he was concerned about the children present and didn't say anything directly. "Doctor Deng, let's talk about this in the main hall."

The three of them came to the main hall.

When the county magistrate learned that a child was coming, he prepared a wooden horse and some food that the child liked.

Baby Mu was attracted by the wooden horse and the food, but he asked obediently, "Master, can I play that?"

Doctor Deng touched her head and said, "Go."

"Play slowly there."

The wooden baby cheered and ran quickly to the wooden horse.

This is a brand new wooden horse, very exquisitely made, with beautiful patterns carved on it, and the height is just right for the wooden baby.

She excitedly turned around the wooden horse again and again, touching it with her little paws again and again. It was so beautiful.

When she got back, she asked her grandfather to make her such a beautiful wooden horse.

Over there, the county magistrate was whispering to Doctor Deng, "Doctor Deng, from what I've learned, some of the victims have already resorted to cannibalism."

Doctor Deng frowned tightly, "Is it so serious?"

The county magistrate nodded heavily and sighed, "The heavy snow didn't last long, and the disaster wasn't really that serious, but for some reason, cannibalism has occurred."

To be honest, this snow disaster is not very serious.

When it is really serious, more than 80% of the houses in a village will be crushed, many people will die, and there will be no food to eat.

But now we can barely find food, and the town is still serving porridge, so there is no need to worry about starving to death.

Doctor Deng's eyes were sharp. "Are you suspecting someone is muddying the waters?"

The county magistrate said, "That's what I'm worried about."

"I've checked carefully, and no village has been so affected that the entire village has been affected."

"Those affected are the relatively poorer families in the village whose houses are not strong enough."

Doctor Deng's expression darkened slightly. "If that's the case, there really is a big problem."

"County Magistrate, have you found any clues?"

The county magistrate shook his head slowly. "We haven't found any clues."

"But this matter is really suspicious."

"Eating dead flesh is a bit better, but eating children... This obviously doesn't sound right. The disaster isn't that serious."

Doctor Deng thought for a moment before asking, "Have you reported this matter to the Emperor?"

The county magistrate said yes, "On the day I learned about this, I wrote a memorial and arranged for someone to send it to Rongdu as quickly as possible."

"However, the heavy snow has blocked the road. Even if we hurry, it will probably take another month to reach Rongdu."

"By then, it's too late."

Now the snow is higher than people everywhere, and it is impossible to move forward on horseback. We can only rely on our two feet to take shortcuts.

Under such circumstances, how far can two legs walk in a day?

Doctor Deng tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers curled. "Do you know who these victims are who are eating their own children?"

The county magistrate said, "I know."

"Just in case, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on it."

"I didn't dare to ask these people any more questions because I was afraid of alerting them."

Doctor Deng understood his concerns and said, "You are right to do this."

"If we alert the enemy, it will be even more difficult to investigate."

At this point, he asked, "Which village did those disaster victims come from?"

The county magistrate said, "Mud Village."

"I have checked the county annals and asked the county magistrate and others."

"This mud village is more than two days' walk from town. It's a village in a mountain valley."

"The county magistrate said that this mud village is not only very xenophobic, but also behaves in a rather barbaric way, and they particularly favor boys over girls."

"In this village, most families, after having a daughter, will kill any subsequent daughters, but will give birth to eight or nine sons."

In this world, it is common to favor boys over girls, but villages like Niba Village are rare.

Doctor Deng asked, "How is the disaster in Niba Village?"

The county magistrate said, "I'm not sure."

"These disaster victims said the damage in their village was very serious."

"I wanted to send a constable to check it out, but the county magistrate said a constable had been beaten to death there."

"I was worried something might go wrong, so I didn't send the detectives over."

It's snowing heavily and the place is far away. If something really happens to the constable, he will blame himself.

Doctor Deng didn't blame him. "You did the right thing."

"Without knowing the details and the specific circumstances, it's best not to send the detectives."

"Next, the county magistrate should pay more attention to the victims of the disaster in Niba Village."

"If there really was a problem, these disaster victims would definitely do something."

The county magistrate thought, "It's my fault for not arranging everything earlier, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

Doctor Deng consoled him, "County Magistrate, to be honest, even if you made all the necessary arrangements, this could still happen."

“Some of them can no longer be called human beings.”

Although the county magistrate understood this principle, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Those children became food for someone before they even had a chance to see the world.

It's so hateful.

About half an hour later, Dr. Deng had a complete understanding of the current disaster situation and the situation of the victims.

The real reason the county magistrate invited him was to discuss something, and providing free medical treatment to the victims was just an excuse.

This is to avoid being noticed by some people.

"County Magistrate, from now on, you will follow the plan we discussed."

Doctor Deng advised, "If you have any questions or need any help, just tell me and I will definitely help you."

The county magistrate was very grateful. "To be honest with you, Doctor Deng, I have always felt uneasy before this."

"I am to blame for what happened."

Doctor Deng said, "The county magistrate cannot be blamed for this."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. County Magistrate, take good care of the victims and get to the bottom of this matter as much as possible."

If someone is really playing tricks, then things are not that simple.

The county magistrate was truly relieved. Being dismissed from office was secondary, but it would be bad if his family was implicated.

"Master, this pastry is delicious." Mu Baobao came to Doctor Deng with a piece of pastry that looked like jelly.

"Master, try it. It's sweet and delicious."

Doctor Deng took it and tasted it. "Hmm, it tastes good."

He glanced at the county magistrate.
