V. Individual differences and presumptions

Cool early fall morning. Luggage had arrived to the cat and cat who were trying to work as usual at the medical office. The packages delivered were, after all, difficult to say refreshing.

"You, are you possibly abused?

Normally, it is Yao (Yao) who shows a pitiful eye that is not directed at him. He's slowly pulling back and pulling his face.

"It's not like that..."

It's hard to be suspicious. The cargo was a massive carcass of worms.

Cats and cats stare at each other while observing insects. Locusts.

It would have been difficult to collect so many quantities. However, the fact that I keep it here is that there was just enough environment to collect it.

"I'm putting it away because it's what I brought it from above, but take it quick"

It is the elderly doctor Liu (Lew) who says it in an unsatisfactory manner. In a high position within the medical service, he treats whoever he is tough.

(Even if they tell you to take it)

I don't even want to take home a cup of flying locusts or anything. I can only imagine how someone sent me, and I can be on my way to figure out what to do.

He also finds that Dr. Liu just can't do it, so he asks you to come here.

"You should use the vacancy in the next building. Originally out of jurisdiction, but I need you to take a few free hands and get this over with."

Apparently the priority is higher than the medical bureau chores.

Then...

"What, what?

Pull Yao's sleeve.

When the cat and cat laughed at the garlic, they decided to take the pulling yao to a place with bugs.

Yao puts a bug on the scale while bluing his face.

Yan Yan observes the yao, blushing his cheeks.

Silently, cats and cats that measure the length of a locust's feet and wings.

"Yes, I wonder when it will end..."

Yao, an insect hater, puts it down with a horrible grasp with chopsticks. I put ten on a plate and calculate the weight of that average.

"I don't think you need to measure it all. But as a number, I thought it would be better if there were more."

Cats and cats wear insect sizes, while if there are insects in different colors, they sort them out.

"Ma'am, I'll do it when it gets tough."

Although Yan Yan tells Yao with a bare gesture he cares about.

"Yes, it's okay. This is my job too..."

To Yao's dislike of losing, he would rather light a fire. Of course, Swallow Swallow knew that and said it.

"Lady..."

He looks at Yao picking insects as he gets goosebumps as he tempers his heart.

Cats and cats keep working, looking at the two of them half-eyed.

About a third of the bugs were cleared, and visitors arrived.

"Hey."

A smile is a dude with rounded glasses and hair. Needless to say, Luo Han.

Cats and cats continue to work in annoyance. Luo Han doesn't look like he cared, he looks at the numbers the cats and cats looked up.

"Hmm. Cat, can you explain something to your brother?

……

Ignore.

"I brought the reward you said before, I wonder if you forgot the cat and cat"

Slightly ear.

Cats and cats see Yao and Yan Yan. Yao doesn't notice, Yan Yan pretends to notice but doesn't dare. But don't tell the two of you. I'm talking about what I was investigating about the western witch. He had been absent because of the witch's attempted poisoning, but he remembered.

The cat and cat stopped.

"That's about three hundred. Along with the length, color and weight of the feet and wings, the female counts how many eggs she has in her belly. I think the locusts have flown from far away land."

"Yeah, yeah."

Turning the pepper and the paper, Luo Han has something in mind. At first glance, it's a collection of plain and uninteresting numbers, but it must be more interesting than anything for this little guy.

It seems that Yao with a sly face finally notices Luo Han, and greets her tired. I guess I should take a break for now, the cat and cat tried to prepare tea, but now it would be cruel to recommend food and drink in front of Yao.

"Go ahead."

Yan Yan placed tea only in front of Luo Han. Luo Han makes tea, obsessed with numbers and not caring about piles of locust carcasses, etc.

"Cat, cat, what's this number?

Luo Han refers to a separately divided number to show.

"It belongs to the locust over here. I thought it might be a locust that had originally been in the land, not something that had flown from color, shape, or weight."

When a locust causes locust plague, the locust itself undergoes a change of shape. Flying from afar, locusts are individuals with lightly developed wings.

"Right. So how far will this locust travel as it flies through the sky?

……

I don't specialize in cats and cats. Yao and Yan Yan are also joining the story, tilting their necks.

"Wouldn't you be able to fly that much? It would be miles at best. Bugs."

When Yao puts it in his mouth, Luo Han continues the conversation with a nod.

"Interestingly, there was no other locust damage in the vicinity of the village where the locust occurred. With so many locusts, you have to feed and grow somewhere."

However, no locusts had occurred in the surrounding villages.

Luo Han retrieves the map from the nostalgia. It's a map of the whole of the big wax.

"Earlier, you said you could only fly a few miles because you're a bug"

"Yeah, it's better if you're estimating it a few miles."

"But"

Luo Han takes the string and puts it on the map. I don't like to write directly to the map, so I seem to be drawing lines with strings. It is positioned diagonally from the northwest and flows to where the village was located.

"This one has a seasonal breeze"

"Are you saying you've been in the wind?

"Right. Then it's possible to fly dozens of miles, not a few miles."

Now I'll put the Acer stone on top of the map.

"What about this Acer stone?

Swallow swallow refers to white stone.

"It's the area where the locust was damaged. I guess it's reasonable to assume that locusts have flowed further northwest using this as a relay."

"There's a direction for Hokuallen."

……

I get a nasty sweat.

Yao hasn't noticed just stating the facts. What Luo Han is trying to say is more beyond that. He seems to know Swallow Swallow, but he doesn't dare to go in, and he even loves his lady.

Luo Han binds together pieces of paper of collected numbers.

"By and large, would it be okay if there were so many? And then we'll have someone else, so you can take over and change."

"... from the beginning, I wish you would"

When the cat and cat are foolish, Luo Han waves his index finger, no, no.

"Collecting inaccurate numbers makes me blind to what I see. At first, we need you to measure it properly."

I know what you're trying to say. I guess I already got a useful number.

Han Luo tries to go home as it is, so the cat and cat grab their sleeves.

"Have you forgotten?

"Whoa, yeah, I did"

Luo Han removes his luggage deliberately. There is a single root vegetable in the cloth wrap.

The cat and cat accidentally squealed their nostrils.

"Well, I'm going home."

When I received the product, I used Luo Han and others.

"What's that, ginseng?

Yao peeks in.

"It's carrots, for sure, but it's..."

They know what swallow swallows are.

But the cat and cat could only stare at the carrot.

"Uhhhhhh"

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Uhhhhhhh"

"Swallow swallow, something's wrong with cats and cats!

"Ma'am, cats and cats are originally weird"

Two words, etc., fall out of my ear into my ear. It's no big deal compared to what's in front of you right now.

"hehe hehe hehe"

"I knew it was crazy! That's not a weird drug!

"Ma'am, it's okay. That's medicine, but it's not weird."

The cat and cat twirled around as they raised their carrot wrap high.

"Ginseng."

Ginseng.

When I say carrots, it's not just carrots. It's a medicinal carrot, and we just have to look for something that can't be grown from time immemorial and grows naturally. Also called a stick hammer.

Red ginseng dried in hot water without peeling. Something this big is a luxury item.

The cat and cat were in a room full of worm carcasses, and for the first time in a long time they danced joyfully as they were seen by a rushing yao and a calm swallow swallow.
