Looking at the size of the mouse, Bian Rui knew that this was a field mouse, a long fat head and big ears, almost a pound weight, the field mouse is much more than the house mouse at home, usually a field mouse can be changed to two or three house rats.

"What are you doing catching rats?" Bian Rui asked casually.

Da Xun said to Bian Rui: "Uncle Nineteen, we are going to drown them to see whose rats live long in the water!"

Children are now thinking of ways to play, the game of drowning rats is ancestral and uncreative, Bian Rui played it when he was a child, Bian Rui's father played it when he was a child, and Bian Rui's grandfather also played it when he was a child, it's really nothing.

Bian Rui listened for a moment, then turned his head and continued to squint at his own small sleep.

There is nothing cruel in the eyes of the villagers to catch rats and kill rats, and those who say that killing rats are cruel are guys who have never starved, and they don't know that a rat hole can dig up dozens of catties of grain. In the past, in the famine years, everyone dug the food in the mouse hole to eat, and later dug the mouse to remove the four evils, although they did not eat the food dug out of the hole, but the dug up food can still be fed to chickens and ducks.

When Bian Rui was a child, he often did this when food was valuable, digging grain in rat holes, and then feeding the poultry at home with grain.

Bian Rui closed his eyes, but there was a sound in his ears.

"Did you dig up the grain?"

"They're a little older, and you expect them to dig up food, and it's good to catch rats," said the other with a smile.

At this time, Bian Rui's twelfth brother said: "Da Xun, where did you catch all the rats in your hands, did you find the hole?"

Da Xun said: "Naturally, we know the entrance of the cave, otherwise where did we set up the cage clamp, if most of the rats were not injured, we could fight the rats, and now we can only fight the fierce mouses! By the way, Uncle Twelve, are you going to dig up the little rats?"

Bian Twelve said: "I'm going to dig up grain! What kind of little rat can I dig up, what can I do with little rats, feed the dogs." By the way, the cave is not far from here, huh?"

Da Xun said: "Not far, in the sloping field over there, close to the ...... of the twenty-second uncle's house."

"That's fine!"

"I said Little Twelve, are you going to dig a mouse hole at this time?"

Bian Twelve said with a smile: "Where to go now, wait for the sun to be less hot and then go, wait for a while and then go again, then dig some grain and feed the chickens at home, we haven't removed rats here for many days, and there are too many rats now."

Speaking of which, Bian Twelve was playing chess ten meters away, and Grandpa Bian shouted loudly: "Grandpa, should you organize the village to dig some rats or something, how do I feel too many rats now, I saw a rat hole along the way last time I put a lot of water, and I can't go on like this!"

"That's right, grandpa, my family's peanuts this year have been bitten a lot by rats, and the organization has dug a mouse hole once" Someone immediately supported Bian Twelve's proposal.

The village used to organize rodent extermination activities, and there was no way that this place in the south of the Yangtze River was suitable for people to survive and suitable for rats, and if they did not destroy this rat for a few years, they would be able to grab food with people.

After the grandfather played a chess move, he looked up and said, "I'll take a look at this matter, if there are too many rats, everyone will organize a rat extermination." Alas, the old Taoist is no longer here, and the kind of raticidal medicine he used to prepare is still very good!"

Speaking of this, the grandfather turned his head and looked around: "Where is Little Nineteen?

When Bian Rui heard this, he immediately stood up from the recliner: "Grandpa, I'm here!"

"Do you have that recipe from the old Daoist?" asked the grandfather.

Bian Rui thought for a while and said: "I really can't remember, you let me go back and look for it, if there is one, I will tell you, if not, don't blame me."

Ancestor was very anxious when he went, except for the space, he didn't say anything to Bian Rui, Bian Rui didn't know too many things, such as the matter of rat medicine, it is estimated that even if he has time, Ancestor will not mention such a trivial matter to him.

"Okay, you go and find it, I'm waiting for your news here, if not, we'll dig a hole and get some food or something." After all, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and it is still necessary to kill the rats once," said the grandfather.

As soon as Bian Rui saw that there was nothing wrong with him, he sat back on the recliner.

mentioned killing rats, and the group of people immediately turned to this again, waiting for the grandfather to stop talking, and the crowd buzzed as if a swarm of bees were hidden.

Bian Rui closed his eyes and continued to rest.

Wen Shizhang swam in the water with Old Man Yan and Old Man Wu, and lay on the recliner, and after a while, Old Man Yan snored, and then it didn't take long for Wen Shizhang to fall asleep beautifully, and the last one to fall asleep was Old Man Wu.

At this time, Bian Rui heard the snoring sound around him, and soon Bian Rui couldn't stand it, and moved the recliner to a place five or six meters away from them, and then slowly fell asleep.

When he woke up, Bian Rui found a few people playing in the lake again, each holding a peach in their hands.

"Well, give!"

Bian Rui turned his head and found a little hairy child with a bare buttocks standing beside him with a basin on his head, with a cupt on his head, and a small basin in his hand, in which there were five or six hairy peaches.

"Thank you!"

Bian Rui reached out and took the peach and wiped it on the child's head at the same time.

"No thanks"

Xiao Maotou heard Bian Rui say thank you, and he was very happy, and trotted to the next person: "Do you want to eat peaches?"

"What's my name?"

This is obviously a child who likes to tease, and when he saw the bare-chested child running in front of him, he immediately stopped the little baby in his arms and asked with a smile. The little baby naturally recognized this, and opened her mouth to giggle and call uncle.

The uncle and nephew quarreled for a while, and the man took the peach and let go of the little baby.

Bian Rui didn't eat the peaches in his hand, just bent over and put his hands on his knees and looked at the mottled lake in a daze.

"Hey, what do you want, Little Nineteen, do you miss Teacher Yan?"

Bian Rui just raised his head, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Grandpa, grandpa, it's not good, someone from the town came to inform him that he was going to kill the chickens and ducks in the village......."

"What?!"

"Who said that?"

As soon as everyone heard that they were going to kill chickens and ducks, they were immediately unhappy and shouted, especially the women who were picking up silk, many of them were raising their eyebrows, and if the chicken killers came to them, they would probably be bitten to death by them.

At this time, the second grandfather slapped the chess pieces in his hand and made a snapping sound: "What are you yelling about?

The second grandfather's words started from his side and slowly spread to the surroundings like ripples.

"What's the matter, let's make it clear, who has nothing to do to come to our village to kill chickens, and who gives them the courage?" asked the second grandfather.

Several old men stopped at this time and looked at the kid who came all the way and shouted.

"The eldest grandfather, the second grandfather...... My grandfather just received a call from the town, saying that there was a chicken plague in the town, and the town asked for the culling of ......".

"Where did the chicken plague come from at this time?

"Whose chicken is sick?" asked the grandfather, who stood up and turned his head to look around.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks.

"What are you doing in a daze, go home and see whose chickens have a problem, kill them yourself first, don't give all the chickens in the village!"

After the eldest grandfather finished speaking, he said to the brothers next to him: "Let's go back and discuss, who to send into the mountain this time!"

"Big brother, can this weather still infect us even if there is a plague?" Grandpa Bian didn't believe it a little, the current weather was about to heat people to death, with his experience, even if there was chicken plague, there was no need to be nervous, not to mention the town, even if it was separated from the village, it would be almost the same.

"There is no harm in being careful, it's just a trip to the old forest, it's better than losing money, go" Grandpa Bian felt that it was still safe.

As soon as a few old men left, the remaining old women and little daughters-in-law couldn't sit still, chickens and ducks were raised by them, and now they heard that they might suffer from the plague, who can bear it, so they took their own things as birds and beasts.

Bian Rui was also a little worried about the hairy little property in his family at this time, so he was ready to pedal back on a tricycle.

"Take us!"

Bian Rui saw that Old Man Wu and Old Man Yan came over, and opened his mouth to ask, "What are you doing in such a hurry to go back?"

"Bah, you are only allowed to go back to see the chickens, and we can't go back?"

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Bian Rui didn't say much, and motioned for the two to sit up.

The two came up and Wen Shizhang didn't want to stay here, and in the end there was no way, Bian Rui had to put his things away and put them on the tricycle, as for Zhou Zheng's car, there was no place for him, so let's follow the tricycle first.

Returning to the gate of the yard in such a hurry, the two old men and Wen Shizhang exchanged polite words, and then rode their respective motorcycles to their homes, while Bian Rui went to his own chicken coop.

"Where are you going?" asked Wen Shizhang.

"I'll look at the chickens, I've raised a lot," Bian Rui stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.

Wen Shizhang said: "I'll also go with you to have a look."

After walking two steps, they met Zhou Zheng who was going uphill, so the two of them turned into three people and walked towards the poultry house together.

When he arrived at the poultry house, Bian Rui saw that there were only five or six hens hatching eggs in the nest, so he put his hand to his mouth and began to make a sound similar to oh loo.

When the chickens in the woods heard this, they immediately spread their legs and ran towards the house.

Some of the chickens just spread their wings and flew up, and then glided through space.

Soon, Wen Shizhang and Zhou Zheng saw a group of chickens rushing towards the poultry house.

"I'm going to go, you chickens are still chickens with chicken plague? I think it's an over-excited transition, by the way, chickens can really fly?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Zhou Zheng is a good hand at eating chickens, but he has really never seen chickens, or he has never seen free-range chickens in farmers, in his impression, chickens are more than a meter high, where have he seen chickens jump directly on the tree with their wings, and then spread their wings and glide in the air.
