It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

In his sight, there was a mass of darkness in the abdomens of these common people. At this moment, due to the medicine, the darkness was gradually decreasing. He saw that the true appearance of the darkness turned out to be strange-shaped insects.

When Zhou An was about to speak, the common people who had already felt relieved suddenly sat up, holding their stomachs and retching.

Black blood stains and a strange-shaped insect spit out from the people's mouths, which looks extremely disgusting.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene.

There is knowledge about medical skills in his mind, letting him know what these bugs are.

——Gu insect!

Medical attributes are just so unreasonable.

As long as you take a look at it, you can tell it at a glance within the scope of your own understanding. It is unreasonable to the extreme.

"Why are there Gu insects here?"

Zhou An looked at these Gu insects and thought in his mind.

He felt that it was extremely abnormal for this thing to appear in Tingyun Mansion.

While thinking about this, Han Shan, who had been undergoing treatment, finally stood up and let out a sigh of relief: "Everyone, please carry them down. They have been cured."

Cold sweat appeared on Han Shan's forehead, and he seemed to have spent a lot of money.

The people around him were talking a lot, but now after seeing that he was cured, they didn't say anything.

After all, I just watched the excitement, but now there is no excitement left to see, so I continue to line up to see a doctor.

And Han Shan also saw Zhou An at this time.

Zhou An walked up and said, "Gu insect?"

Han Shan nodded.

He didn't find it strange that Zhou An knew about Gu Chong.

After all, with Zhou An's current medical skills, it is normal to know this.

From beginning to end, the feeling Zhou An brought to him had made him numb.

"Have you reported to the official?" Zhou An asked.

Han Shan nodded: "We have already asked people to go to the government. This thing is not something we can play around with."

There are people who suffer for no reason. If something like this happens these days, places like the medical center can only report it to the officials and let the officials handle it.

Zhou An said nothing more.

Not long after, two detectives arrived at the scene. They also saw Zhou An and looked surprised.

But Zhou An winked, meaning not to show it in public.

The two detectives were also discerning. They suppressed their surprise and understood the situation with Han Shan.

After the police officers learned about it and left, Zhou An explained his purpose to Han Shan.

"Alas, Mr. Zhou, it's a pity. If you take this path, you may reach a height that no one before you can reach."

This sentence is not bragging, because based on Han Shan's years of experience, Zhou An is the first young man to shock him.

Zhou An smiled, politely refused again, and left Renxin Medical Center.

After leaving, he planned to go home and practice Long Bu for a while, bringing Long Bu to level five, and then think about ways to improve other level four skills.

As for what happened just now at Renxin Medical Center, it is natural for the government to handle it. This is not his scope.

It didn't take long to get from Renxin Medical Center to home, but when Zhou An arrived at home, he saw Hu Haijin waiting at the door.

Hu Haijin also saw Zhou An, and immediately walked up, bowed his hands, and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Zhou."

Zhou An frowned: "What's the matter?"

I had told the supervisor before that if nothing happened, don't come to him. If something happens that they can't handle, come to me again.

It seems like something is wrong now.

Sure enough, after Zhou An finished saying this, Hu Haijin nodded, with a look of urgency on his face: "Mr. Zhou, something happened in the mine. Please come with me. We can't handle this matter."

Zhou An pondered for a moment and didn't ask anything. He just said to lead the way.

Hu Haijin didn't say much and silently led him from the front.

Since something happened and Zhou An was sitting in this chair, he would naturally have to deal with it.

Although he is a bit Buddhist and a bit salty, he will never be vague when it comes to serious matters.

When he first decided to participate in the Casting Competition and decided to take up this position, he had already made up his mind to pursue his career in his position.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Until after the craftsman came to supervise, Zhou An just walked in and saw a few familiar people.

These people are from the surrounding chambers of commerce, and Zhou Qingyun is among them.

When they saw Zhou An walking in, they rushed forward in a hurry.

Before they could speak, Zhou An raised his hand and said: "Everyone, if you are able to gather here, you should have common things to deal with. In this case, send a representative to speak out. Not too many, otherwise it will Chaos.”

When people are in a hurry, they tend to talk all over the place, and it's difficult to accumulate useful information by talking all over the place, so Zhou An asked them to calm down first.

The businessmen were also very smart. They looked at each other and finally asked Zhou Qingyun to come out and talk about the matter.

After all, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is currently the largest in Tingyun Mansion.

Zhou Qingyun did not refuse and stood up. Explained: "Mr. Zhou, something big happened in the mines. In the mining areas we are responsible for, all the workers inside have fainted for no reason. They are now being sent to various hospitals, and some hospitals have found out that these workers are Chinese. Poisoned."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingyun seemed a little impatient.

The mining rights released by His Majesty the Emperor can make the Chamber of Commerce a lot of money, can also respond to the call of the Great Chu State, and can bring huge benefits to the Great Chu State.

If they fail, they will reap the rewards.

Zhou An frowned slightly when he heard the word poison.

I had encountered him at Renxin Medical Center before. Considering that it was probably a government matter, I didn't bother with it.

After all, these days, if you want to meddle in the affairs of other departments, it will be thankless.

But now that my own department has encountered it, it's a bit strange.

"Where are the people? Have they all been sent to the hospital?" Zhou An asked.

Zhou Qingyun nodded, indicating that everything had been sent over.

After getting this reply, Zhou An touched his chin, then stood up and reassured: "Don't worry, everyone, we will handle this matter. Don't go mining in the mine for the time being. After all, these things have happened. If we continue to mine, the gains will outweigh the losses. We must resolve the matter to achieve long-term benefits."

This sentence is correct, but the businessmen still look anxious.

If it is shelved for a long time, although the money they invest will not be in vain, the cost will increase. After all, time cost is also a cost.

Now that the weather is warm, it is the best time for workers to get to work.

Of course Zhou An saw it, but still used these words to comfort him.

In fact, there is nothing we can do now. If a problem arises, it must be solved. If it cannot be solved, then it can only be shelved.

Otherwise, if more workers are allowed to enter and be poisoned by this so-called poison, they will cause even more trouble.

When Zhou An mentioned this thing, he thought of one person, the Miao girl in the Jiaofang Division, who seemed to be of the Gu family.

In fact, it's not just Miao Jiang who plays poison, there are many scattered ones, including some forces. So Zhou An guessed that this matter may be related, but not necessarily.

After he appeased the group of people, he asked Hu Haijin to come over after the group of people left.

Hu Haijin stood by the side obediently, not daring to say a word.

Zhou An pondered for a moment and said, "Do a good job of appeasing him, and I'll go to the government office."

Now that something happened to the craftsman supervisor of Tingyun Mansion, Zhou An had to deal with it.

I have been practicing for a long time during this period, and my proficiency has improved a lot. It is time to get active.

Hu Haijin nodded silently, saying that he would definitely do it.

Zhou An then walked out of the door and rushed towards the government office.

From being a craftsman supervisor to the government office, Zhou An arrived in a short time.

When he arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw many police officers guarding the place.

The policeman guarding the door saw Zhou An and hurriedly came up: "Master Zhou, come here, what do you mean?"

Zhou An said bluntly: "I want to see Mr. Xu. You don't need to communicate. The matter is urgent."

When the police officer heard this, he didn't dare to pass the message and asked Zhou An to go in directly.

After entering the gate, Zhou An happened to see Xu Fuling in the lobby of the front yard.

Xu Fuling was sitting on a chair at this time, listening to the report of the two detectives, his brows locked together tightly.

At this time, he also heard footsteps and saw Zhou An walking over. He didn't know what happened to Zhou An and was about to ask, but Zhou An spoke first.

"Something happened to the craftsman supervisor."

Zhou An told what happened.

Xu Fuling's face showed a look of surprise, then returned to normal and sighed.

Seeing this expression, Zhou An knew that something was going on here.

Xu Fuling said: "Not only the craftsmen are the supervisors, but also our other departments have had troubles. The people who have had the trouble this time are all related to various departments of Tingyun Mansion."

"They are related to various departments. Could it be that they are all ordinary people working for various departments?"

Zhou An touched his chin.

Xu Fuling said that this was indeed the case.

After receiving this answer, Zhou An thought for a moment and asked, "How does Mr. Xu plan to investigate?"

Xu Fuling thought for a while and said: "I am about to go to various departments to investigate. Since something happened to Mr. Zhou, we will start from the mine. Mr. Zhou, do you want to go with us?"

Zhou An nodded and expressed that he wanted to accompany him.

This matter appeared in the position under my jurisdiction, and I had to go there, otherwise it would be a white-collar salary.

Xu Fuling didn't say anything more. Since Zhou An agreed, he would start work vigorously and resolutely.

The two summoned some detectives, walked out of the door, and headed towards the mine outside.

They reached the nearest mine at almost the fastest speed.

Originally, the mining rights were granted by the imperial court, so the mine should be quite lively, but now the mine is deserted, with not a single person in sight except the ore piled around.

It was also Zhou An's first time to come to the mine. He looked around for a moment. Nothing unusual was found.

Xu Fu Ling was about to go in, but was interrupted by Zhou An: "Master Xu, it will be dangerous for you to go in like this."

Even a master will fall prey to poison.

What Zhou An said made sense. Xu Fuling nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case, but his words changed. Pointing to the brocade bag on his waist.

"This is something that various medical clinics come up with to dispel poison. After this incident, some medical clinics have already researched it. They all have one. This is for you."

As he spoke, a tip bag was thrown over.

Zhou An took it and turned around to see that there was indeed a plain-colored kit hanging on the waist of each agent.

He opened the kit in his hand and found some dark pills inside. Just by looking at it, he discovered the ingredients.

"The person who is equipped with this thing is also a master."

Zhou An said subconsciously.

Xu Fu Ling was slightly startled: "Master Zhou has also done some research in this area?"

Zhou An nodded: "I worked as a doctor for a while at Renxin Medical Center, so I started to do some research."

When Xu Fuling heard this, he almost forgot what time it was. He couldn't help grabbing Zhou An's shoulders and said with a trembling that he couldn't suppress: "Master Zhou, you can't walk like this again. Go down!"

Although he is pedantic, he is a good person by nature.

When you see Zhou An like this, you know that Zhou An has started another business.

But the more this happens, the easier it is for something to happen. After all, energy is limited.

He couldn't help but want to persuade her, even if the relationship between the two parties hadn't reached this point yet.

"Master Zhou, have you ever thought about it? If you continue like this, your future will be mediocre. You might as well major in a trade. You are very strong in swordsmanship, and with that pot, you can definitely become a martial artist. .”

Zhou An did not expect such an episode. When he heard Xu Fuling say this, he shook his head and said: "Master Xu, I have my own sense of discretion."

The other party persuaded him like this last time, and he did so again this time. He knew that Xu Fuling had good intentions, but only he knew about this matter.

Xu Fu Ling said helplessly: "Master Zhou, I am very kind-hearted. I hope Master Zhou can understand."

Even after talking about it, Zhou An still didn't agree. It would be meaningless if he continued to say it, and it would be more likely to disgust others.

There were more important things now, and he didn't continue talking.

Zhou An looked at the mine ahead and hung the tips bag on his waist.

Although he has the attribute of toxicity, he doesn't use what he gets for free.

Everyone did not stop, and Zhou An and Xu Fuling took the lead and walked into the mine.

The mine was dark, deep, and damp.

Originally, some torches were placed in the previous period, but because everyone had been poisoned, the torches were extinguished.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, the policeman took out a torch from his waist, lit the torch on the wall, and took it down easily.

There was a torch shining in front, and the surrounding area became much brighter.

Zhou An walked in the rugged mine, looked around, and found signs of something crawling around.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou An asked everyone to stop, then walked to the edge of the mine alone and looked at the traces on the surface of the mine.

The traces are very thin, like hair strands.

But Zhou An could tell at a glance that these were traces of a poisonous insect crawling through.

He looked at Xu Fuling.

Xu Fuling walked closer, looked at these hair-like traces carefully, and said in surprise: "So small!"

Zhou An nodded: "There are big and small things like Gu insects. Small Gu insects like this should be used for sneak attacks. The surrounding mines are dark, so it will definitely not be easy for the workers to find them, so they were attacked. .”

The smaller they are, the easier it is to hide and trick others. It is extremely difficult to recognize objects in a dark environment. Plus, they are small, so even people in the industry can easily fall prey to them.

When Xu Fuling heard what Zhou An said, he asked, "Are these Gu insects still there?"

Zhou An shook his head and stretched out his hand to touch the wall: "I don't know, I have to keep looking down."

He only saw some traces, and it was difficult to determine whether the Gu worms were still there. He only knew that these Gu worms were very small.

You have to look closely to see the truth.

Everyone nodded and continued walking inside.

As he walked inside, Xu Fuling felt something was wrong.

He heard a rustling sound.

Ahead is a dark mine, with no shadows visible in its depths.

But the sound could come out clearly.

Zhou An also heard it, including the police officers who heard the subtle sound.

The detective held the knife and was nervously on guard.

Many people in the world have heard of poison.

To be honest, many people in the world don't like to deal with these people.

Because when you deal with them, you have to be on guard all the time, and even if they are friends, or partners with interests, they are not willing to communicate frequently.

This thing is really shady, and it might get tricked one day.

This is also the reason why the policeman is nervous.

Zhou An's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked towards the dark mine.

He picked up the torch in the catcher's hand next to him and threw it into the mine.

With this throw, the torch drew an arc in mid-air and shot forward, illuminating the darkness ahead.

When the fire illuminated the darkness, Zhou An and others saw the scene inside.

Gu worms, which were only the size of a pinky fingernail, were crawling towards them.

It was so densely packed that if you counted carefully, there were thousands of bugs.

The Gu insect has a dark carapace, six legs, and a mouth like a small trumpet, but the edges of the hollow mouth have cracked teeth that are extremely sharp.

In other words, everyone is in the industry, so we can see clearly.

The moment these Gu insects appeared, a strong smell filled the mine.

The smell had a disgusting stench. Fortunately, when the smell dispersed, the kits hanging on everyone's waists started to move.

A burst of white steam came out of the sachet, dissipating the smell.

Zhou An opened it and found that the black object inside was slowly disappearing.

Obviously, this is to resist the poison of the poisonous insects.

Zhou An withdrew his gaze and looked at the Gu insect getting closer and closer: "In addition to being poisonous, this kind of thing has considerable combat power. Even if it is prone to toxicity, don't underestimate it."

With so many bugs, it would be really difficult to defend against one person.

But the people present were not ordinary people, especially Zhou An.

He took out the cold iron knife from his pink purse and swung it out.

With just one strike, the entire mine was filled with black and green sword light.

This time the sword light became even more eerie compared to the previous bright sword light.

And after the sword light passed by, countless Gu insects in front were chopped into pieces.

Xu Fu Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou An as if he were looking at a monster.

Zhou An sheathed the sword and asked strangely: "Why does Mr. Xu look at me like this?"

The corner of Xu Fuling's mouth twitched slightly: "Master Zhou's strength has taken another step forward, and the light of the sword has changed."

Zhou An smiled slightly and said it was nothing.

It looked calm and calm, but Xu Fuling's heart was filled with huge waves.

If this is nothing, then there is really no need to brag about the geniuses among the younger generation.

It has only been a long time since the battle on Yuejiang, but this strength has already reached this level.

That sword strike just now not only had the light of the sword, but also the water flow surrounding the sword light, and even had a dark green color.

Xu Fuling didn't know what the color was, but just looking at it gave him a dangerous feeling.

This is a special feeling among people in the industry. He believes in it because this feeling once saved his life when he took office.

Who has never been young? Xu Fuling also experienced many big and small things when he was young. He was also an expert, so he could tell it at a glance.

The detectives around him are less discerning and have little education, so they can only show how awesome they are.

Although the cold iron sword was put into the scabbard, Zhou An's eyes were fixed on the depths of the mine.

At this moment, the characteristics of the medical Gu pulse came into play.

The medical +2 attribute allowed him to see abnormalities in the corpses of these Gu insects, and he turned to look at Xu Fuling.

"Master Xu, I think this person should be in the mine. The Gu worm cannot be too far away, otherwise it will lose control and in turn devour itself.

Xu Fu Ling said in surprise: "Master Zhou still knows so much?"

In fact, Zhou An's basic knowledge was relatively poor, and Xu Fuling and the others had known it for a long time. During the battle at Yuejiang, there were many signs during the process that showed that Zhou An's knowledge was seriously insufficient.

But at this time, Xu Fuling was surprised that Zhou An was so proficient in Gu insects.

Of course Zhou An knows that, after all, his medical Gu pulse has reached the third level. The attribute of medical science +2 is not that simple. Coupled with the toxicity +1, as long as he has knowledge in this area and is within the scope of his attributes, he Everyone can see the flaws.

Of course, there is no way to explain this.

Zhou An could only say with a particularly profound expression: "There are priorities in learning the Tao, and there are specialties in the arts."

Xu Fu Ling's head was covered with black lines, and he felt like he was being stung.

He felt that Zhou An studied at Renxin Medical Center and studied very seriously.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this.

Now that they knew the other party was here, Xu Fuling and Zhou An headed inside.

The mine was still dark. After Zhou An and Xu Fuling led a group of agents and walked for about half an hour, their target finally appeared in front of them.

But this target is not a human!

Zhou An looked at the thing in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This thing is a huge egg, black in color, with traces of transparent mucus hanging on it, and it looks extremely disgusting.

He was sure that this was the thing that controlled the Gu, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

After all, there are too many professions in this world. Although the medical Gu pulse has reached the third level, it has a range, so he did not see anything deeper.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fuling took a step back in surprise after seeing this scene.

Although the movement was small, Zhou An saw it.

Zhou An just wanted to ask a few questions, but before he could say anything, Xu Fuling seemed to already know that Zhou An was going to ask, and before he could say anything, he gritted his teeth and said.

"The remnants of the Gu God Cult!"

"This should be the poison medicine man made by the Gu God Cult using living people. It is said that they use living people for experiments, feed the living people with the poison of the poisonous insects, and first let the living people enter the general state under extreme pain. The state of being dead but not yet dead.”

"Then remove the poisonous poison, and go back and forth like this, causing the living person to suffer great pain and gradually lose their consciousness. Finally, the unconscious person is covered with poisonous insects to form such a black egg. When they are born from the egg, they are The controlled poisoner."

Following Xu Fuling's explanation, Zhou An roughly understood.

"It means that when the Gus were suppressed and the Gu God Cult was suppressed, some of them escaped."

Xu Fuling nodded: "It is true that some of them escaped. They are still being suppressed by the Zhengui Si, but they are hidden very deep."

Zhou An thought for a moment.

What kind of poison is this? I have never heard of it.

But according to Xu Fuling's statement, it should have been recently created by the Gu God Sect.

It sounds like the method is extremely cruel, causing a living person to suffer tremendous torture, and the torture is repeated over and over again. Just listening to it makes the hairs on the hair stand on end.

Xu Fuling looked at it carefully for a moment: "It's so big, it should be coming out soon. If there is no one around to control it, it will lose control and kill all living things."

"Then what are you waiting for? After solving the problem, go to Zhensi to report the case."

Now it is confirmed that this thing is something that the Suppressant should do, so the Suppressant will have to take the lead in the future.

Xu Fuling nodded, took out his book and writing brush, and was about to take action.

At this time, the egg that had been quiet finally changed.

The black egg shook, and fine cracks appeared on it, but the next moment, the cracks completely stopped.

Because the black-green sword light passed through it, it instantly dispersed into thousands of black-green sword lights, cutting the big black egg in front of him into countless pieces.

Inside the debris, something like mud was crawling on the ground.

I got up, and it was a matter of seconds.

Zhou An sheathed his sword and said calmly in front of everyone's astonished eyes: "This is not a turn-based game. I still have to wait for you to finish holding back your ultimate move before taking action?"

Although Xu Fuling didn't understand what a turn-based game was, he could understand the general meaning. He took back his brush and book in embarrassment, suddenly feeling that it was useless to follow him this time.

One knife kills him in seconds. It's so simple, but it's really useless.

Some of the detectives looked at the pile of minced meat on the ground with slightly strange expressions.

It's really disgusting. Although these detectives have also experienced fighting, this is the first time they have been broken into pieces like this.

Zhou An waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I have already shown mercy."

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

There is not even a whole body, which is called mercy.

In fact, they don't know Zhou An. How many whole corpses are there in Zhou An's hands?

Either they were turned into minced meat, or they were cut into pieces.

If we really want to talk about the whole corpse, Zhou An feels that his aunt is quite complete.

At least it can be put together. Although the fifty-six copies are a little difficult to put together, at least it can be put together.

"Let's go back."

The matter has been resolved, and Zhou An is ready to go back.

Xu Fuling also nodded.

This matter needs to be notified to the Chief of Police and let him handle it.

No one said anything, they hurried out of the mine and rushed towards Tingyun Mansion.

…

In the Zhengui Division, the obese Yan Sifu nodded after hearing what Xu Fuling said.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it as soon as possible."

Xu Fu Ling frowned slightly: "Not as soon as possible, but immediately. Sir, I don't mean to force you, but this has already happened, and it has also injured the people. I suspect that if it continues like this, there will be serious problems in Tingyun Mansion. question."

He is in charge of the people of Tingyun Mansion and the various livelihoods of Tingyun Mansion.

Now that such a thing is happening, people related to various departments in Tingyun Mansion, whether they work for the departments or others, as long as they are ordinary people, may be harmed.

Therefore, it is best to do this immediately.

Yan Sifu glanced at the policeman behind Xu Fuling and said, "Come down, please. I have something to discuss with you adults in detail."

The detectives looked at each other, did not stay here for long, and left obediently.

Xu Fuling and Zhou An were both curious as to why Yan Sifu suddenly asked the police to go down.

After the agents left, Yan Sifu stepped forward and closed the door, saying, "This matter is not as simple as you think. Just yesterday, I received a secret letter from my superiors, telling me that I will be dealing with Ting Yun recently. The government is on tight guard and searching for the remnants of the Gu God Sect."

Zhou An is very confused, what secret is there?

He didn't ask and waited patiently for Yan Sifu's next words.

The same is true for Xu Fu Ling.

The two listened attentively.

Yan Sifu paused for a moment before continuing: "I suspect that your Majesty has set up a net to deal with the remnants of the Gu God Sect. Back then, some people escaped from the Gu God Sect. It would be okay if they were in other professions, but they are the most vulnerable ones. People are careless, so we should be in the net laid by His Majesty."

"I only received the news yesterday. Don't worry, don't ask any more questions, because it's very secret. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. I will definitely take it seriously."

With this sentence, it was hard for everyone to say anything.

Zhou An nodded and said, "If you need any cooperation, you can tell me at any time."

This matter also involves Jiang Zuo. If it is resolved as soon as possible, it will be better for you.

Otherwise, if there is one thing hanging here, the impact will be great.

Especially since I need to gain proficiency.

Yan Sifu nodded and agreed.

Zhou An thought of another thing and asked, "Is it related to the girl from the Jiaofang Division?"

In fact, he had already wanted to ask about this matter.

What he met here were the remnants of the Gu God Sect. The Miao Jiang girl from the Jiaofang Division was also from the Gu God Sect. He suspected that there was any connection.

Yan Sifu said: "I will investigate, including the girl from the Jiaofang Division. Don't worry, you two adults. If I find any information, I will tell you."

After all, the matters here involved too many departments, and Yan Sifu did not take care of them.

Zhou An and Xu Fuling looked at each other and left Zhenguisi.

After leaving Zhenguisi, Xu Fuling returned to the government office, while Zhou An was thinking about it on the spot. After thinking for a while, he decided to go home and practice his skills.

But before going back, he went to the craftsman's supervisor again and told Hu Haijin and others that they still need to strictly control it and stop mining for the time being, waiting for news about the suppression of Guisi.

After explaining everything clearly, Zhou An practiced the Dragon Step for a while after returning home, and the time slowly came into the night.

The night was very dark, even the moon outside the window was obscured by dark clouds, and the entire street instantly became dark.

In the moonless streets, you have to be careful even when walking.

At this time, there was no one on the street, and most of the people had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhou An was still in Ganyou Longbu, and he was in the earth bag formation. He was very serious and extremely focused.

The night was quiet, but in the silence, there was an unusual sound.

Zhou An felt moved, withdrew from the soil bag formation and looked out the window.
