"Wow!" After the mayor left, As soon as Lina took the small box in the four-wheel drive compartment, she couldn't wait to open it, and then she let out a satisfied exclamation. The small box is somewhat similar to the predecessor of the "briefcase" in modern society. The capacity is actually not small. But there were only a few stacks of banknotes in it. They are all printed with two-color ink, black on the front and red on the back. Wayne took a look. They were banknotes issued by a bank in Louisiana, with a face value of $10, all in brand new condition. It is considered to be a large-denomination banknote that currently maintains its value.
Banknotes these days are mainly issued by chartered state or private banks. So there are many styles, Even understanding "money" has almost become a technical job. But this kind of small problem obviously did not bother Lina. After she roughly confirmed the authenticity, she started counting the money while smiling like a silly girl. "A total of $5,000!" Finally, the banknotes were divided into three small piles with both small and large amounts, and the top pile contained coins that had been specially exchanged. Since Inesa did not directly participate in the battle, she took the stack that was missing $1. Then Lina let out a "Ah ... In the carriage, she threw the money she was given into the sky, and then watched it fall from the air. She felt so happy. Wayne and Inissa watched Lina acting silly. How to describe it? It's like having a friend eating with relish next to you. Although the amount of food I eat hasn't actually increased, But happiness does seem to have increased a little. It was the way Lina picked up the money one by one in the carriage and was afraid of missing any. Looks a little bit embarrassed... … There is actually a safe hidden in Wayne's house.
It's a huge piece buried in the cellar, the kind that might not explode even if it's deformed. However, Wayne's family has been targeted by an unknown guy recently. So if you try to touch the safe at this time, your password may be seen by some strange ability. Then you will be targeted by thieves. So the man and the gun were there, A few of them simply carried the money with them for the time being. Come and grab it if you can. For example, Peter was lying on Lina's waist bag at this time. Even if Lina wanted to reach out, It's now showing its teeth to show its intention. After dividing the money, Wayne had originally planned to take a stroll around the town as usual in the morning. Then some townspeople came to report that the cow was missing. A simple theft of property. In fact, the sheriff of the small town cannot do anything about it, mainly because of limited manpower. Therefore, the so-called "minor crimes" usually require the victims to investigate themselves, or simply catch the suspect and report it to the police. But this theft is special. The lost cow was found dead in a grove not far from the farm, with its intestines pierced and its body covered with wounds, as if it had been attacked by a monster. In this case, It seems that I have to go and see it. So the four-wheel drive vehicle turned around and started following the farmer. This guy is quite superstitious. After finding the sheriff, they also went to find Pastor Huck, and finally they ran out of the town together. … When we arrived at the scene, Even Reverend Hake and Wayne could tell something was wrong. Niu Niu died so pitifully. There were marks of bites and scratches from sharp teeth and claws on its body, and there were densely packed marks of pecks on its back.
After all, Reverend Hake had received formal training before taking up his post. According to tradition and procedures, the scene is first "purified" and then "blessed" the believers. By the way, he also deceived the other party by saying that these were actually the marks left by the bites of various wild animals. Although the farmer was a little skeptical, But in this regard, the pastor is obviously the greater authority, and Wayne and several others beside him also expressed their approval. So he had no choice but to follow Inessa's advice and dig a hole to bury the cow. Things like "the cow died" If this happened to an ordinary peasant family in ancient China, it would probably be like the sky falling. But it happened on a farm in Kansas. The impact is not that great. The United States is now a vast country with a sparse population, and Kansas is one of the main beef cattle producing areas in the United States. Local beef is not expensive, and can even be described as good value for money. The farmer has a large herd of cattle at home, and all of their offspring are bred by themselves. So for him, The main losses are time and manpower costs. If you want to exchange beef for money these days, The best way is to sell them to cattle dealers, and then the cattle will first arrive at the coastal port cities, and then sail across the ocean to the Old World. Although the beef shipped in this way is still cheaper than beef raised locally in the Old World, But his value is much higher than when he was in America. Especially in recent years, several countries in the Old World have been fighting and stopping. The gaps in various industrial and agricultural products have to be made up by imports. For America, it is a happy year as there is no worry about sales. Therefore, even the farmer whose cows died was mainly concerned about the fear of the "monster". As for the occasional loss of one or two cows, It can’t be said to be “indifferent”, but it’s not a big problem either. The farmer is digging a hole over there. Teacher Inissa started to give Wayne some questions to think about: "What do you think about this matter?" Wayne took another look at the "little eyes" pecked out on the cow's back. They all matched in size and dimensions.
I think they were the same dead birds that attacked me last night. So he thought for a moment: “I think this is what the guy who attacked me last night did. "If this guess is correct, then he is basically an outsider. And those dead birds were not made by that guy yesterday, but were brought by him. And he also brought other things. “From the fact that they need to be ‘fed’, it seems that those ‘dead birds’ and ‘monsters’ all need to be replenished with flesh and blood. "That is to say, they may not be 'disposable' items. At least they need to be 'charged' or 'maintained'. It may not be that easy to make them. After they are used up, they may be gone in a short time." Inesa seemed to think that Wayne's performance was satisfactory. He nodded and continued to add: "The fact that they can bring these undead creatures with them also shows that their control over these undead creatures may not require the blessing of ritual arrays. They are the type that can launch attacks at any time. "But bringing an undead creature with you is a very risky thing. This may also imply that the opponent's own combat ability may not be strong." I see. This is the type where you need to capture the leader first. Wayne thought of this, Suddenly I felt that the other person's ability seemed a bit similar to Lina's. Then he glanced in Peter's direction, I feel that although its 'food' seems to be better, in essence, it may be similar to those dead birds. Peter, who was pretending to be a decoration on Lina's waist bag, also noticed Wayne's gaze at this time. Then it raised one of its long front legs, He made a "poke you" gesture in Wayne's direction. provoke, You two have somewhat similar personalities.
