Chapter 16: The Rats Who Will Escape
Before dawn the next day, Luo Yin and Su San got up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wangdui originally wanted to sleep for a while, after all, after tossing for so long the night before, a corpse was found in the kang, and no one could rest properly, but seeing that Su San was up, Wangdui could only stand up: "Miss Su, you rest and I'll boil water first." ”
Along the way, he consciously put himself in a very low position and regarded Su San as his master.
Su San saw Wangdui's respectful appearance, remembered the serfs he saw in Xikang Tusi Mansion, thought of the root cause of Miss Bai's tragedy, and sighed and said: "Wangdui, you don't always have to treat me with such an attitude, you and I are equal." ”
Wangdui smiled: "Miss Su, you have saved me several times, you have long been my master, and it is natural for me to serve my master." ”
Su San looked at Luo Yin for help, and the latter shrugged indifferently: "Take it, Wangdui is tall and capable, where can I find such a good follower?" ”
Su San was helpless and turned around and went downstairs.
Crunch. The sound of the wooden staircase was exceptionally clear in the dark, Su San always felt that the sound was too harsh, so he hurriedly ran down a few steps, and Luo Yin whispered behind him: "Be careful that it's not dawn yet, be careful of falling." ”
As he spoke, he followed a few steps, and walked in front of Su San to open the door bolt, and a cold wind rushed in with a large snowflake. Su San happened to catch a few snowflakes: "It's so good, it's snowing." ”
She saw heavy snow in Peking last year, and she walked with Yuwei at that time. This is a little longer to Tibet, the snow is bigger and denser, Su San leaned out from Luo Yin's side, and glanced outside, it was really a big snow, the sky and the earth were vast, and the entire courtyard was covered with snow.
Su San looked at it, pointed to the door of the backyard and said, "I'm afraid the water has frozen, right?" ”
Luo Yin smiled: "The well water will not freeze." ”
"You haven't seen it, how do you know?"
Wangdui rushed down from upstairs: "I'm going to fetch water." He came down with a gust of wind and ran out.
"The water may be frozen." Su San pointed to the big snow trail in the yard.
"In this kind of weather, our Xikang wells will not freeze, I'll go over and take a look."
Wangdui went to fetch water, Luo Yin entered the stove room, and scanned the week with a flashlight, trying to find something to eat. Squeak, squeak, water, electricity, light, a black shadow flashed, it was a very large mouse.
The rats of this land are truly sperm, eating human flesh and gnawing at the roots of trees.
Luo Yin thought so, and heard Su San ask outside: "I'll go and put the backpack on the horse's back." ”
"Don't worry, it's too late to cook after eating."
"I want to get there early, it's snowing hard enough. Today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to walk long and find a place to rest again, so when will I be able to rush to Tibet to see the Living Buddha Luosang. ”
Su San walked to the door of the stove room and saw Luo Yin squatting on the ground and shining a flashlight.
"What are you looking for?"
"The mouse, a big mouse, disappeared in a flash."
"There are only a few things in this stove room, how can a mouse disappear in a flash, and it is not a ghost mouse." Su San looked at the joke and also bent down to check the ground.
A cold wind rushed over, and it turned out that Wangdui had returned with water.
"It's really cold, but fortunately the well water is not frozen, and the water is still a little warm to the touch, which is really strange."
There was happiness in Wangdui's tone, and then he was a little puzzled: "It's strange to say, why doesn't this well water seem to freeze?" ”
Su San then remembered Luo Yin's words just now, stood up and said, "Okay, you must have been laughing at me just now, and you don't even know if the well water will freeze." How do you know that well water doesn't freeze? You haven't fetched water again? ”
"The main thing is that the water under the ground is very little affected by changes in the temperature on the ground. The temperature of the well water in summer varies from that of the well water in winter to between 3 and 4 degrees Celsius. After Luo Yin finished explaining, he smiled and looked at Su San, "Why do I know, naturally I saw it in the book, these journalism departments don't teach." ”
"Nasty, can you tell me where the rats went? Could it be that like Tuxingsun, he will also know this art of retreat? ”
Wangdui could see that the two of them were flirting a little, so he obediently poured water into the big iron pot and then lit a fire.
Fortunately, there is still some firewood piled on the side of this stove room, and today there was a heavy snowfall, and the firewood outside was wet.
Wangdui went to the side to carry firewood, Su San pointed to the pile of firewood and asked, "It won't be drilled into there." ”
Wangdui's hand happened to touch something soft, and he was so frightened that he threw aside the firewood in his hand.
He wasn't afraid of rats, but because the shadow of the rats in the kang cave was too big, and the thought that the rats in this place might have eaten the dead corpses made him feel furious.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yin rushed over in one step.
"It's not a mouse, it's a glove."
Wangdui realized that he had encountered a woolen glove, which was quite new.
How can there be gloves in this firewood?
Su San felt strange, she saw that the proprietress was a delicate person, and it was impossible for anything else to be mixed with firewood.
She walked over and was about to take the glove to take a good look, when she suddenly stepped back, covered her nose and said, "Stinky to death, Wangdui, throw it away." ”
Wangdui was stunned with his gloves: "Stinky? I didn't smell it. ”
He immediately thought that Su San was very sensitive to smells, and hurriedly threw the gloves on the ground.
Luo Yin stared at the glove, pointed to the pile of firewood in the corner of the wall and said, "Wangdui, move it." ”
Wangdui looked at Su San and found that the latter's eyes were also on him, so he took a deep breath, bent down, and tried to open his arms and lift all the firewood.
Su San exclaimed: "So much firewood, Wangdui, be careful." ”
"It's okay, I can ......" The last line was not spoken, because the moment Wangdui put down the firewood, he felt a pain in his waist and twisted.
Of course, he couldn't lose face in front of Miss Su, he stood up and looked at Su San hehehehe
Luo Yin pointed at the corner of the wall with a flashlight and said, "Look, there are cracks there." ”
Su San squatted down and turned on the flashlight to carefully inspect the crack.
This crack doesn't look very big, could a rat that big come out of here?
"Rats are the most hateful thing, they can drill through a crack, and their bodies are very alive, they can bend several times." Wangdui said aside.
"Oh, the rat's waist should be fine."
Luo Yin seemed to pat Wangdui inadvertently.
Wangdui sighed, and Su San asked, "What's wrong with you, Wangdui?" ”
"Ah, nothing, I forgot to boil water."
As he spoke, Wangdui slowly bent down, picked up a little firewood and left.
"If the rat came out of here, and the glove came out of here, where do you think the crack leads?" Su San pointed to the crack and said.
"I guess there's a cellar in this house."
Yes, people in the north like to dig cellars in the yard or kitchen to store vegetables.
These days, I have eaten stewed vegetables, but there are no cabbage and potatoes on the ground in the kitchen, so it can only be that there is a cellar in this kitchen.
