Chapter 61: A fly in the ointment!

Zhou Heng pointed to the traces on the grass and whispered: "Look at it, do you see it?" The grass here originally grew very well, but it was bitten off a lot. These mountain rats are very good at enjoying it, picking good grass and putting it back in the nest, so that it will not be too cold in winter. ”

Wang Rui nodded.

Then he thought about it for a moment and questioned, "But that only means that the mountain rats have been to this place, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they often take the road, right?"

When this guy thinks about it seriously, he is still a little organized.

Zhou Heng continued to explain to him: "Mountain rats and hares have the same habit, that is, they follow the old path. Because they are very timid, otherwise how can people say that they are as timid as rats? So they only take the safe road, and they dare not wade lightly on unknown routes, and there will be some traces on the road, such as smells or something. ”

Wang Rui had completely forgotten the previous bet at this time, and it felt amazing to listen to these things.

Is it no wonder that many people like to explore and hunt for curiosity?

It turns out that there is such a thing as a rat road.

He whispered, "That mountain mouse is quite fine! When I catch it in a while, I will have to roast it and eat it!"

The two of them crept more and more, and in a place with very thick grass under the shade of the tree in front of them, Zhou Heng said, "See, there is a hole there." ”

Wang Rui carefully argued, and immediately nodded in surprise: "Well, I saw it, uncle, go and catch it." ”

Zhou Heng gave him a blank look: "You let me just use my hands to catch it?"

Wang Rui was stunned: "Otherwise?"

At this time, Hu Jinhua also came over with a bucket of water and said: "Wang Rui, people say that rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and mountain rats will bite even more!"

It has holes, and its teeth are so bad that you can't scratch it with your hands.

In fact, Hu Jinhua didn't know how to catch mountain mice, so he asked, "How do you use this bucket of water?"

Zhou Heng said: "Don't worry, I'll look around." ”

Wang Rui felt very nervous now, looking at the hole, as if there would be a mountain rat rushing out, he pulled his uncle and asked, "How do you know that there must be a mountain rat here?"

If it were him, he might not know that there is a mouse-cave here, let alone know if there are any rats in it.

Zhou Heng pointed to a few lumps of rat feces on the ground and said, "Look, this is still wet, and it hasn't dried completely yet." Got it?"

Wang Rui nodded thoughtfully.

There is here, indicating that it was pulled not long ago, indicating that the mountain rat must have lived in this vicinity.

Zhou Heng searched around again, found another hole, and quickly stepped on it with his feet to seal the hole. Then I looked around and sealed another hole.

People say that the three holes of the cunning rabbit and the mountain rat are not the same. The natural enemies of mountain rats are snakes, and snakes will also burrow, if there is a snake into the hole, there is no other exit, then you have to wait for death?

Zhou Heng sealed the holes of the other two exits before he walked back, lifted the bucket of water, and poured it into the hole.

Then, with the barrel mouth upside down, he waited intently.

Even the big yellow dog that had been following was on guard, ready to attack, and his throat couldn't help but "bluff", that was to prepare for battle.

Mountain rats are afraid of water and fire, so they can pour water from the hole or light a fire to smoke.

But there are too many dead leaves on this mountain, and it will be bad to burn after a while, and the water is relatively safer.

This large bucket of water is poured down, and the mountain rats will come out in a while.

Sure enough, a wet thing popped out in a panic.

Zhou Heng hurriedly closed the upside-down barrel mouth.

A step too late, the guy twisted around and slipped away from the edge of the barrel, which was too small to be buckled.

Don't worry, the big yellow dog has already chased out, and it was captured before it ran two or three meters away.

This one is not small, there should be at least five or six taels.

Wang Rui was so thrilled that he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, until the mountain rat was caught, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

He said, "This mountain rat is really cunning, but it is no more cunning than you!"

Zhou Heng also threw the mountain rat into the snakeskin bag, and then pinched the mouth of the bag, and after a while, the inside began to be restless, swaying.

He laughed and said, "Look, they're fighting." ”

Wang Rui also laughed and said: "Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair." ”

Zhou Heng got up and said, "Let's go, let's find the next one." ”

Wang Rui hurriedly said: "Let's wait a little longer, this hole is so big, there must be some more, maybe there is still a family!"

Zhou Heng lifted the snakeskin bag and said, "Don't you see it? They are solitary animals, and when they meet, they fight, how can there be two in a hole?"

Wang Rui laughed: "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one cave cannot tolerate two rats." ”

Zhou Heng originally wanted to say: You are so eloquent, how many points did you score in the essay test? But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it. Maybe this guy's essay test is really good.

Next, a few people teamed up to get a few more, and it seems that the mountain rats have really developed very strongly, and it is very timely to clean up.

Carrying a bag, it felt a little heavy.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain, Zhou Ying's voice came again: "Wang Rui, Xiao Heng, Xiao Hu, come down to eat! The chickens know to go home, but you don't know how to go back?"

No, the chickens have already gone back, and it's really not early.

Wang Rui replied loudly: "Mom, what does it have to do with us when the chickens come home?"

This kid loves to deliberately make people angry.

When they returned with this bag of mountain rats, Li Yunlian greeted them with a smile at the gate of the courtyard.

She took the bag and said, "Hey, it's not light! This thing is getting more and more harmful! There must still be one in the mountains." ”

Zhou Heng said: "It doesn't matter, the cage I laid down today hasn't been withdrawn yet, as long as they come out at night, they can be caught." ”

When I went back to wash my hands, there was a large table of hearty dishes on the table, especially the aroma of chicken, which had long overflowed the entire courtyard.

Wang Rui drooled, and his hands were washed so-so, but he didn't know that this table was for him.

Zhou Heng said to Hu Jinhua: "Do you have some bars at night?

Such a good dish, don't drink some wine and waste it.

Hu Jinhua thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll drink some too." ”

Although the bed has not yet been carved, what does it matter if it is summer? You can just move a cool bed and sleep.

When Zhou Heng was a child, it was too hot in summer and there was no electric fan, so he slept directly on the roof, sometimes he fell asleep, and was woken up in the middle of the night when it rained, so he quickly got up and went back to the house to sleep again.

After everyone in this family sat down, Zhou Heng poured Hu Jinhua full, and then filled himself, Wang Rui was in a hurry to drink, and was reprimanded by Zhou Ying, only to know that he had to start with grandma and grandpa first, then pour it for his mother and sister, and finally himself.

Since coming back from the hospital, Zhou Faqiang also wanted to drink, but he was controlled by Zhou Heng, so he quit alive and could only drink.

The family raised their glasses and happily drank a glass together, Wang Siqi had a drink to drink, which was the most joyful.

After drinking one glass, she held up her glass to ask for another one.

Zhou Ying hurriedly put vegetables and chicken in her bowl, and said, "Don't drink anything, eat vegetables." After a while, I was full of drinks, and I couldn't eat. ”

Drinks and snacks, she has always controlled the children and did not let them drink more.

There are too many things to manage, and the children dislike her.

Hu Jinhua picked up the bottle himself, filled it for Zhou Heng, and filled it for himself, and then held the cup to him, feeling that he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word, and finally gathered into a sentence: "Come, let's have a drink." ”

He wanted to thank Zhou Heng, but a word of thanks was too light, and it didn't carry any weight.

What kind of face has he never seen in the past six months? Words are the most weak.

Here, Zhou Heng's family really treats him as a family member, and even eats at the same table, this feeling is really commendable, like sending charcoal in the snow.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. Everybody knows that.

Today, Zhou Heng watched him carve, and said that he wanted him to go to a big city to find a job as an engraver, which might be a higher salary, but there was a sentence he didn't say.

Even if he was asked to go, he wouldn't go. Zhou Heng's family is so good to him, he hasn't repaid him yet, why is he embarrassed to leave?

A thousand words, all in this glass of wine.

Wang Rui, this kid, is eating a lot today, and the table is full of dishes he likes to eat, braised pig's trotters, braised three kinds of platter, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, stewed chicken soup with wild mushrooms, fried fungus with enema, I can't eat these alone, and the rest of the vegetables and eggs are not seen at all.

He eats well, Wang Siqi also eats with him, and he eats very happily, and from time to time he asks his brother to pick up some dishes for her.

The little girl has cultivated the habit of eating seriously since she was a child, and since she was almost two years old, she has learned to eat with chopsticks by herself, and she is not allowed to go off the table until she finishes eating.

Here in Zhou Ying, there is no such thing as chasing and feeding with a rice bowl, running after a bite, and chasing after feeding a mouthful.

She is an impatient child, and she can't stand this, so she can feed three meals a day and can't do anything else.

At first, the child may be a little temperamental, smashing the bowl and crying or something, but she insists on not compromising, and after a few times, she is not obedient.

Now, she doesn't have the concept of asking others to feed her when she eats, she eats it herself.

Li Yunlian looked at the big family, and her heart was beautiful, especially Wang Rui's good results in the exam, and she was even more comfortable.

looked at the two grandchildren, and then looked at Zhou Heng, alas, there is a fly in the ointment!

If there are two grandchildren at this table, it is called perfect.

It's a pity that I don't even have a daughter-in-law.

Although he said last time that he wanted to ask a matchmaker to help him Zhang Luo, his son was reluctant. She also knows that when it comes to getting married, parents can't be too reluctant, and they have to be willing to do it.

Don't look at the current rural conditions, but there are still many divorces.

If you are not satisfied, there will be a divorce in less than two years, and it will not be a bamboo basket?

He has to be willing to be happy for a long time.

Zhou Heng was eating, and when he saw his mother sitting there and stopped, he guessed what his mother was thinking.

He sandwiched a piece of chicken for his mother and said, "Just put your heart in your stomach, I will find you a daughter-in-law who you are satisfied with sooner or later." ”

"What's the use of satisfying me? Of course, you have to be satisfied. Li Yunlian said with a smile.
