Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Rat Changes
Wu Dongdong had dense goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and glanced at the courtyard outside the window with some fear.
"Grandma, there are really monsters in this world. Wu Dongdong asked scaredly.
The eldest grandmother nodded, a look of contemplation on her face.
"In the vast world, anything can exist, but we can't touch it. ”
Ah Qing still agrees with this sentence, after all, there are many strange things in the world, and there are many things that he has not seen does not mean that they do not exist, but what kind of existence these things are, Ah Qing does not think that they are demons.
As for ghosts, monsters and the like, in Ah Qing's view, they are just a special substance that exists in the world, and it may be a substance that he can't understand now, but since it exists, there is something to restrain itself, all things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, nothing is absolutely invincible, what species, what existence is absolutely invincible, and there will always be a way to restrain in the world.
This is the revelation given to him by the Neijing, and it is also his own perception, he does not believe that there are legendary demons and monsters in the world, but he is in awe of them.
The water in the yard is getting deeper and deeper, and the high threshold seems to be precarious, and looking at the situation of the rainwater silting, I don't know how many people in the village have their houses flooded, buried and bare-armed, struggling to scoop water out of the house.
Suddenly, Ah Qing seemed to hear a rapid noise and high-pitched screams coming from the streets of the village.
Then the noise spread, followed by a high-pitched scream from the yard of the grandmother's neighbor.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Help. ”
When Ah Qing heard the voice, it seemed to be very urgent, thinking about rushing to save people, he opened the door of the house, didn't care about the rain outside, waded through the water to the corner of the wall, and climbed onto the wall with a jump.
The scene in front of him made Ah Qing's face change, maybe it was because the house was flooded with water, and the dense gray and black rats swam out of the house quickly, and visually, there were at least hundreds of them, each of which was the size of a fist, dragging a slender tail, showing its head in the rain and panting, and its limbs quickly swam out, connecting in a row.
And the aunt who led the family was climbing on the branch of the persimmon tree in the yard at this time, looking at the gray-black rats swimming on the water surface in the yard in horror, screaming loudly with her eyes closed, and the water on her face was dripping down, and she didn't know whether it was scared tears or rain.
The dense rats swam quickly across the water, burrowed through the gate through the gap, and swam out in the blink of an eye.
"Mouse, mouse. ”
"Ah Qing, there are a lot of rats in the house. ”
"Ah, Ah Qing, come here. ”
Wu Dongdong's frightened scream suddenly sounded in the room behind him, Ah Qing's heart tightened after hearing this, and then quickly climbed down from the wall, and shouted into the yard before coming down, reminding the neighbor aunt that her rats had run away.
As soon as Ah Qing got off the wall, he quickly waded through the stagnant water in the yard and walked into the house, and before he had taken two steps, Ah Qing saw a row of gray and black rats gushing out of the house, jumping into the rain from the threshold of the house, and swimming out quickly.
I don't know, there is no water in the grandmother's house, how did the rat escape.
"Grandma, Dongdong, how are you two?" Ah Qing shouted loudly, walked quickly to the door, took a broom from the corner of the wall, pulled the mice in front of him away, and strode into the house without caring about anything else.
These rats didn't hurt anyone, they just ran out desperately, swimming out, and even Ah Qing didn't react to pulling them, following the trajectory of the rats swimming in front of them, and quickly followed.
As soon as she entered the house, Ah Qing saw the eldest grandmother and Wu Dongdong standing on the bed in horror, looking at the gray-black mice running quickly on the ground, they came out from under the bed, from the corner of the wall, from the bottom of the tank, from all directions, and even a few ran out of the cabinet where the grandmother specially put clothes, and ran out quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ah Qing stretched out his hand and used a broom to pull away all the rats on the ground, sweeping out an open space in front of him.
"What's going on?" Wu Dongdong said in a trembling voice.
"The rats are out of the hole, this is going to be a big thing. Grandma's lips trembled. "Let's go, let's all get out quickly, we can't stay in the house anymore, follow the mouse." ”
The grandmother watched the little mouse with her fingers run out of the ground, and her hands began to tremble.
By this time the rats had almost all run out, and only a few smaller mice, stacked on top of each other, had climbed up the threshold.
The eldest grandmother was the first to get off the bed, came to the wooden cabinet opposite the bed, and took out a sack of burlap from inside, the cloth bag was as big as the palm of a hand, and it was full of things, and there was a crisp crashing sound between the waves, and there should be gold and silver jewelry and other items in it.
"This is some jewelry that I have accumulated for half my life, and it is more valuable, so hurry up and take it away, I'm afraid something big will happen here." The eldest grandmother shook her hand with her hand, then stuffed it into Ah Qing's hand, and took the lead to walk out.
It was still dark outside, and the rain was non-stop, but the rain seemed to be lighter, so the three of them found a poncho, covered their bodies, and waded out of the water.
The rain made people unable to open their eyes, and Ah Qing squeezed the mud under the door to open the courtyard gate.
The water on the street was deeper, and when Ah Qing and the three of them walked out of the door, they found that there were already many people standing on the street, and it seemed that they also felt that something bad had happened when the rats came out of the hole.
However, they all clinged to the root of the wall, looking at the water surface of the street in horror, the water surface is dense gray and black rats swimming and rolling on it, forming a dense black torrent, quickly swimming to the east of the road, rolling up layers of water waves, and there are groups of black and gray rats from the courtyards on both sides of the road, from the dark corners around the gathering, making the black torrent composed of rats bigger.
"This?" Ah Qing exclaimed in a low voice, it was the first time he had seen such a spectacular scene.
The people on the street all had serious faces, leaning against the corners of the wall, cautiously following the black torrent forward, seeing A Qing and the three of them come out, they all nodded and signaled, but did not speak, and the air was full of dullness.
Ah Qing looked at it, he also looked serious, he also felt that something was wrong, he knew that on the eve of the earthquake, all the rats would be dispatched and scurry around, and he didn't know if there was going to be an earthquake here.
However, there is also an old saying that the rats that become sperm are spiritual, and they can be safe by following the mice, because the place where the rats hide must be a safe place, so these people follow the rats closely, but there are also younger young adults who don't believe in these and hide at home and don't come out, so most of the people walking on the street are some old people.
Ah Qing's physical strength has greatly increased due to his practice of the Xuanmen Exercises, so he hugged his grandmother who was struggling to move forward through the water, carried Wu Dongdong on his back, and strode after the rats, leaving most of the people behind.
