Liao Yuewei did not deny it. She had a sharp eye and saw Cheng Shuang leading the team back. She explained to Uncle Jiu, "Let's deal with these bats first. We can talk in detail later."
She then charged into the bats, and after a few moves, she no longer concealed her skills.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Shuang took out the teddy bear and hung it on the bag. With both hands, she wielded the torch like a heavy hammer, and used brute force to knock down all the bats surrounding her and the captain.
The captain, who had been in a flurry of activity, chuckled awkwardly, then added fuel to the fire on the unconscious bat lying on the ground, saying, "My little sister is really capable, much better than you grown men!" The last sentence was shouted at his subordinates.
They had originally planned to have afternoon tea, but the village chief wanted to treat everyone to a meal and had already prepared a celebration banquet for the evening. However, the team leader thought that they couldn't just eat for free, so they decided to go back and get the work done first.
The captain, who always wanted to establish a noble and selfless image in front of his younger sister, took the initiative for the first time and did not choose to slack off.
His men clearly couldn't understand their captain's choice. They had been listless the whole way, but now that their captain had teased them, they immediately stood up straight, some swinging weapons, others waving torches, full of energy.
With reinforcements, the bats were visibly driven back. After the few remaining bats had all scattered, the group of people collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
With Cheng Shuang looking after him and easily finishing off enemies, the captain was the only one standing upright, drawing envious and jealous glances from his panting subordinates.
The captain, habitually arrogant and disregarding his subordinates' opinions, immediately noticed the mud pit that had been filled back in and, in shock, berated the two men who remained behind, "What's going on? The well is getting back into the mud! What kind of work are you doing! The village chief is waiting for the victory celebration banquet, and you two are doing this? How can you even have the nerve to go eat? You messed up your job, causing the celebration banquet to be canceled. How can you face your brothers?"
Cheng Shuang was speechless, so the important thing is still the celebration banquet!
The two men quickly shifted the blame, pointing at Uncle Nine and saying urgently, "Uncle Nine told us to do it! It was Uncle Nine!"
The captain's arrogance immediately subsided. He knew that Uncle Jiu usually took good care of his younger sister. The girl refused to go home and insisted on staying at Uncle Jiu's place. Therefore, the captain, who already respected Uncle Jiu, became even more obsequious.
Before he could question him, Uncle Nine explained without any attempt to hide anything, "The location I calculated has been disturbed." He pointed to the completely buried area, "There is a ferocious monster buried here, it must not be dug up."
After Uncle Nine finished speaking, he glanced at the bats scattered all over the ground, whether by coincidence or design. It was unclear whether this was a coincidence or intentional, but all of these bats had been burned to death, and none of them were injured or bleeding.
He looked at Liao Yuewei, who had rested enough, and raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of questions.
Liao Yuewei nodded slightly and silently uttered three words: vampire.
vampire?
Although Uncle Nine didn't understand Western demons and monsters, he could tell their meanings just from their names. He couldn't help but turn over each of the dead bats one by one, just to make sure that no one had escaped and whose blood had nourished the vampires underground.
"Master, what are you doing?" Ah Hao asked, puzzled. Before Uncle Jiu could say anything, he saw Liao Yuewei searching and checking, so he immediately got up and went over to help.
Uncle Nine's lips twitched, and he cursed under his breath, "You brat!"
Cheng Shuang naturally understood why the two were doing this. She followed behind and set the fire, burning all the bats that hadn't turned to ash. They carried too many bacteria, and if not properly disposed of, they would definitely have an impact on both humans and animals.
Although the captain wasn't very bright, he took Cheng Shuang seriously. He noticed that the girl was very disciplined and would only start a fire after everyone else had finished their inspections, which he suspected was a pattern.
He quickly got up, grabbed Cheng Shuang, and said, "Xi Mei, you rest, I'll take care of this." After saying that, he snatched the torch, leaving Cheng Shuang behind, and continued burning with Uncle Jiu.
After burning two, he felt something was amiss, so he immediately called over two of his men, pushed the torches into their hands, and said, "You two go!" To show his shrewdness and competence, he specifically instructed, "Uncle Jiu checks one and burns it, don't break the rules."
The subordinates muttered in low voices, "They even have rules for burning bats." They complained, but dared not disobey orders. The two men imitated Ah-hao's meticulous manner and assisted Uncle Nine in his work.
The people who had been lying down got up one after another, asked Uncle Nine why he did this, and began to help in groups. The work was quickened, and all the dead bats were burned to ashes.
A group of people set out under the stars and returned home under the stars.
The celebration banquet was cancelled and postponed for several days. Construction on the well needed to be accelerated, and Uncle Nine stayed at the marked location of the well almost every moment to prevent anyone from causing trouble in secret.
Ah-hao and Ah-fang, the two apprentices, also had no free time. The matter of the female ghost was temporarily delayed. The little zombie was bored, so he wrapped himself up in a tube to avoid the sunlight and went to work with the adults in his family.
At least Cheng Shuang was there to keep it company. Once the little girl got playful, she even considered teaching the little zombie how to climb trees.
The result... of course, was nothing.
While everyone else was busy at work, the two little ones, hiding in the shade, eagerly began to climb the tree.
One teaches casually, the other learns diligently.
In this era, the South was lush and natural everywhere. In any sparsely populated place, you could find one or two wild fruit trees. The little zombie, unable to climb the tree, stared longingly at Cheng Shuang picking fruit from the tree, making a pitiful squeaking sound.
Cheng Shuang tossed it a bamboo basket and said with a smile, "If you learn to pick fruit, you'll learn to climb trees!"
The little zombie whose legs can't bend: I'm so angry! I want to throw the basket, but I'm afraid the scammer will get angry! I feel even angrier!
Liao Yuewei, who was in the church, reported to Sister Maria that the bats could harm people. The nuns, all dressed up and wrapped tightly in protective gear, cleaned the entire church thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched.
Sure enough, they found several bat nests in two days and promptly notified Uncle Jiu.
Because Cheng Shuangguan called Liao Yuewei "cousin," adding an extra layer of relationship, the captain's actions were somewhat influenced by personal considerations. Even after discovering that bats were hidden in the church, he did not bring up the matter of burning the church again. Instead, he and Uncle Jiu tried their best to lure all the bats out.
If we can lure the snakes out of their hole and temporarily seal off the church completely, leaving no exit, the bats will have no chance to return to their nests, and we can also limit their possibility of occupying the church and breeding indefinitely.
Finally, the little zombie did the most work, cooperating with Cheng Shuang, one blasting outwards and the other setting fire and throwing firecrackers.
The reason Cheng Shuang was chosen as the pitcher is because she is strong and has a good angle. Even if the fireball doesn't die, the bat can be stunned and fall to the ground.
Any fish that slip through the net will be met with a vicious, predatory finisher.
