Chapter 72: The Rats Infestation (II)
In my sleep, I was awakened by a noise in the room. When I woke up, the ringing continued.
Thinking of the tragic situation of Zhuo Ran's family, I quickly got up and dressed and walked out of the room.
"Xiao Li, is that you?"
It's the voice of Zhuoran.
"Why did you wake up?" I asked him.
"There seem to be rats in the house." Zhuo Ran said again.
I'll take a look. I lit the oil lamp on the table in the room, took it and went outside.
Along the way, rats scurried around on the ground, and there were also those who were munching on things.
"Ah...... Why are there so many rats?"
In the direction of the lobby, someone screamed, which made my heart hairy, and I didn't want everything in the house to be chewed up.
"Why are there so many rats again, it's so scary."
Zhuo Ran followed behind him. Seeing him, I calmed down a lot and began to wonder what was going on.
Accompanied by Zhuo Ran, we came to the lobby, where a few housekeepers were beating rats all over the ground, and the maids were standing on a coffee table. A few legs, a group of rats are gnawing, and those maids may fall down at any time.
This is not possible, put down the oil lamp in his hand, and immediately was knocked down by a mouse, and the maids screamed again. A hand touched my hand and held it, and a voice came from my ear: "Don't be afraid! β
I was stunned for a moment, but the rats in the room didn't allow me to think about it, so I first cast a spell to knock out the people around me, including Zhuo Ran.
Zhuo Ran fell into my arms, his snort was full of the smell of books on his body, obviously he was wearing new clothes, and now there were no books in the house, and it felt as if the smell had already penetrated into his body.
"All living beings, only I will listen to my orders, and return to the cave quickly." When I finished the spell with one hand, all the rats disappeared in an instant.
I nodded with satisfaction, not to mention the mice, it is estimated that the birds and beasts within a radius of ten miles have gone home. It's just that the consumption is quite large.
Just as he was about to cast another spell to restore all the bitten things in the house, the sound of tiles cracking from the roof could be heard in the silent night sky.
I subconsciously looked up, put Zhuo Ran on the ground, jumped through the partition between the first and second floors, and then through the ceiling, beams, and tiled roof to the roof.
A dark shadow leaped over multiple rooftops in the dark night.
"I want to run."
I flew to catch up, but the other party seemed to be a master, and after chasing a few streets, I had lost the other party's figure.
Just as I was about to give up and go back, a voice appeared behind me, "It's you!" β
I shrugged my eyebrows, you sent it yourself.
Pulling the Xia Ling on my waist in my hand, I turned around and hit the black shadow standing only a meter behind me.
"Alas, how do you say that you can fight?" The shadow dodged.
From the other person's words, I felt that this person knew me. It's just that it's too dark, and even though I can see his figure, I still can't tell his face.
Seeing that he showed no signs of running away, I took Xia Ling back into my hand and asked, "Who are you?"
"Why do you forget me, I'm the mouse you have mercy on!" The other party said.
Now I can understand why there are so many rats in the house, and I already feel unusual.
"Why are you damaging the contents of my house?" I asked him.
"I didn't know you were there." Rat Spirit said.
"That's not the point, let's say, what other 'good things' have you done?" I say.
"I'm just here for revenge, nothing else."
"Revenge?" I was taken aback, "What kind of enmity do you have with Zhuo Ran?" β
"He almost killed me five hundred years ago." Rat Spirit said.
"Five hundred years ago......" was just about to ask him why he almost killed him, when he suddenly remembered the mouse that Qiao Wenqing caught for me after rescuing meβthat is, the one in front of me now.
"Just because he captured you in his previous life, you are now looking for him to take revenge?" I say.
"Yes! It's not that you let me live, where is there me now. The rat spirit said.
"If you're so good, why do you want revenge?"
"You can't tease him!"
"The problem now is, you broke my stuff."
"It's strange, how do you live together?"
"You can come for revenge, can't I come for revenge?" I say.
"So that's the case, and I won't embarrass him from then on."
"Come here." I beckoned to him.
He walked over and said, "What's wrong?" β
I conjured a lit candle in my hand, and although it was windy, the flame of the candle was still not swaying, and it looked a little strange.
"Miss me." Rat Spirit said.
I suddenly raised my hand and ripped off all six whiskers from the corners of his mouth with great speed.
"Oops......" the rat spirit shouted with her mouth covered.
After throwing away the beard in my hand and collecting the candle, I said, "Well, this is the price you pay for destroying the things in my house." β
"How can this be, it doesn't hurt!" Rat Essence.
"Let's go, bye!"
In a flash, I was back in my new house, and everyone was still lying in the same place. In order not to disturb them, I cast a spell and sent them all back to their respective rooms. Cast another spell to restore the destroyed item.
I picked up the oil lamp and lit it, checked the room for any leaks, and then went back to my room and lay back on the bed. I used up some energy, my body was a little tired, and soon I fell asleep.
The next day, when I got up, I found all the invited maids gathered in the front yard to discuss something.
I guessed that they might be discussing last night's events, and just as I wanted to lean over to listen, Xu's voice came from behind me: "What are you doing here, you don't have to make breakfast." β
Everyone immediately stopped the discussion, looked at the door, and then dispersed.
"Xiao Li, it was so strange last night." Xu said behind me.
I turned around, sat down on a chair by the coffee table by the wall with Xu, and said, "What's the matter, mother?" β
"I saw a lot of rats again last night, and just as I was about to leave the house, they were gone...... I can't figure out what happened afterwards, but I don't remember when I got back to bed. When I woke up this morning, I saw that everything in the room was fine, and I thought I had a dream, but the lamp on the table in the room was obviously lit, and I blew it out before I went to bed. Xu said.
"Maybe you forgot to blow it out, it must be a dream, you see, it's not good in the house." I say.
"How can you have the same dream?" Zhuo Ran suddenly came out and said.
"Yes, young lady, everyone met with this last night." A maid in the room who was wiping tables and chairs also chimed in.
"This ......"
Before I finished speaking, Xu wiped his words and said, "Is it that this house is not clean, that's why such a strange thing happened." β
"Why, I've been here for two nights before, and by the way, you've stayed here for a few nights before!" I pointed to the maid.
"Yes, old lady, we have been here for a few nights before you came. Nothing like this has happened. The maid said.
At this time, Zhuo Ran said again: "I still remember that the two of us came out together last night, you were walking in front with a lamp, I couldn't see the road clearly behind you, and I kicked the corner of the wall, and now my toes are still hurting!" β
