Chapter 84 Territory
Hot Springs takes on a quest to deal with the super puzzle of a war between a cat and a quack over the division of territory.
Over the next few hours, Meow Mouse recounts the grievances between the two races in all directions.
The cats and quacks were originally a litter of rats, and they loved each other. Later, the number of rats in this litter increased, and they began to form their own groups, which were gradually divided into two varieties: cats and quacks.
At this time, there was a croaking mouse who felt that the mouse should 'croak' instead of 'meow', he said his idea, but he didn't expect to get the full support of his own croaking rat group.
The quacks say that they are the orthodox blood of the rats, and the cats are the bedbugs that can't get on the table; of course the cats are not convinced, they feel that although they can't croak, they have a lot of credit!
For example, the cereals in the fields are grown by them, and many rat nests are carefully designed by them, such as festivals and cultural activities. Now, the croaking rats dislike them, and it is clear that they can't see them well!
Seeing that the cats had been taking credit for themselves, the quacks began to grow their own grains, overthrow the original rat nests, build new nests by themselves, and hold their own cultural and entertainment activities.
When the croaking rat boss saw that we could do these tasks ourselves, he summoned the major elders of the quack rat and tried every possible way to drive the cats out of their territory on the grounds that they could not be allowed to stay in this holy land.
The cats are even more angry, and the quacks don't give them a way to live, so what else is there to talk about?
Thus, the first civil war broke out in the rat nest. Crops are ruined, rat nests are gone, interesting activities are canceled... In order to end this tragedy as soon as possible, the two varieties of rats decided to use the shallow water flow as the 38th line, and the rats on both sides occupied one side of the water flow, and they would not interact with each other in the future.
However, the agreement does not stipulate who belongs to the shallow water, and the two sides have dug fields and planted crops at the water's edge, and there will be friction between the two sides during the irrigation season.
Since there was not much rain this year, the shallow stream really turned into a shallow layer of small streams. Cats were the first to use these sources of water to irrigate their crops and store them.
Seeing that the water source is getting scarcer and less, the croaking rats living on the other side must not be happy, they feel that the rats who pass through the door are simply scum and scoundrels, and they actually rob them of their water source, trying to make them thirsty and starving to death!
Three months ago, there was a fight between two groups of rats, and there were casualties among the rats. This has deepened the contradictions and hatred between the two sides.
In the past three months, there have been no less than hundreds of riots of all sizes, and the rats have died and crippled, and they have been busy fighting every day, regardless of the crops.
The croaking rats said that the shallow stream belonged to them, but the cats did not say anything, but on the second day, they put rat medicine into the shallow stream. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the entire quacks would have suffered a catastrophe.
The next day, when the cats came to get water, they took the opportunity to arrest all the rats who came to get water, and wanted to drown them on the grounds that they had 'stepped into the territory of another country without permission'.
When the cat-rat boss learned about this, he said cruelly, 'If it dares to drown its people, it will do whatever it takes to bury the quack rat group'.
Now the two sides are in a state where a big war is on the verge of breaking out, and Hot Springs, this unlucky ghost is in danger, and has to deal with this super mess of others for the sake of his own situation!
"Where's the shallow current?"
"Meow is the small river that flows around the sentence mountain, stretching from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and it keeps trickling in all seasons. ”
"Where's your rat nest?"
"Meow, it's not far from here, I'm out looking for seeds, otherwise I might not be able to survive winter this year." ”
"Huh... You have winter here, too?"
"Meow, yes, it's cold in winter, and it snows. Winter in the Sentence Mountain is coming almost without warning. ”
"Then take us to your house!"
After listening to the story, the hot spring is ready to act. First find out the situation of the enemy, then analyze the situation, and finally explore solutions. Now, she has three helpers on her side, and she can't believe that she can't handle this nest of rats.
The hot springs are led by the cats and all the way to the direction of Nanshan. Unlike Higashiyama and Kitayama, Nanzan has fewer bamboos and more pine trees.
These pine trees are not tall, and the tallest ones are no more than three meters, and most of them are around two meters high. Looking at the dwarf radish pine trees, the hot spring felt that it was very easy to catch pine nuts.
However, she came to solve the problem, not to find food, and as soon as she thought of this, the clutches of the hot springs that grabbed pine nuts shrank back.
Behind the hot springs, however, it was very white, and he saw the small particles like red teeth in the pine cones, and he also saw the white pine nuts in these 'red teeth', which made him greedy.
So, the hot spring didn't go to fish for pine cones, but the one behind her kept sending the pine cones into her pocket.
Passing through this pine forest, beyond is a field, a field about the size of a football field. At this moment, a few peanuts and soybeans are alive in the farmland, and the rest are made of loess.
The meow told the hot springs: "Meow, originally, there were dozens of things planted here, but after repeated battles, only peanuts and soybeans were still alive." ”
Onsen asked, "What about the quacks?"
"Meow, yes, they're not doing well. ”
"Where's the shallow current?"
"Meow, just ahead, this year's drought is almost extinct. ”
The hot spring walked to the edge of the farmland, and sure enough, he saw a deep ditch about 1.5 meters deep, but unfortunately, this ditch only had shallow water flowing through, barely covering the colorful rocks on the surface of the water.
This colorful rock hot spring has been seen in front of the hut of the orangutan eight grams, and it seems that it is the same vein of water.
"After crossing this river, it's the chassis of the croaking rat, isn't it?"
"Meow, that's right, but don't go over now, I just had a fight in the morning, and my temper hasn't calmed down yet!"
The hot spring said, "It's okay, I'll see how the attitude to the door is!"
With that, the hot spring took a step with long legs, and the whole person stepped over the shallow water and reached the opposite side.
Sure enough, this side is also loess, and the crops that are still alive in the farmland are not as good as the cats. The hot spring crossed the loess ridge, stepped on the dust all the way forward, and near the pine forest, she actually found a watermelon.
Seeing the watermelon, the hot spring couldn't wait, so he immediately picked the watermelon and smashed it with a punch.
The red pulp was revealed, and the hot spring index finger moved.
She had just eaten a quarter of it when a rat with a fork came running up to her, and he yelled at the hot springs, "Who are you? How dare you steal our melons?
Hot Spring was holding the watermelon blankly, she looked at the little thing on the ground, wiped her mouth clean, and snatched away the other party's small fork.
"Tell you in charge, just say that a melon thief is coming to kick the restaurant!"
