Chapter 19: The Blind Mouse
On the way back to the village, people talked about the journey with great interest, and most of them imagined the bright future of the Seven Star Bubble. Of course, there were also a few women who blushed and whispered about something.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard a bleating sound, but I saw a few wooden pegs stuck in a clearing, and a few goats tied to them.
"Who's sheep, take care of it, if you run to the meadow to gnaw grass, you will directly kill and eat meat!" Uncle the village chief put down his cruel words, whether it is a goat or a sheep, when they eat grass, they will destroy the grass roots, and the grass on the meadow has just sprouted, and it is indeed not resistant to disasters. According to what everyone has discussed, grazing must be banned for the first year.
It seems to be from the eighth master's family - someone said the origin of these sheep. If you put it in previous years, every household had a few sheep, but in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer sheep, so it is easier to recognize.
The half-grown children who were reprimanded by the eighth master in the morning were unwilling, and the second fat man muttered: "Don't let us scourge the meadows, these goats are even more harmful-"
When his wife heard this, she hurriedly dragged the child home. But such a half-sized child is the most difficult to get, and he refuses to walk with his neck. Seeing that the eighth master's face was not very good-looking, Li Da understood that he stepped forward to relieve the siege: "This is a dairy goat, and the eighth master drinks a bowl of goat's milk every morning, so his body bones are so hard." ”
"Drink a fart, Biaozi, slaughter these sheep in the afternoon and give them meat to everyone. We haven't had such a big happy event for many years in our black blind tun, celebrate and celebrate! The eighth master was not ambiguous at all, glanced at the goats a little distressed, and then went home on crutches.
The slightly rickety back of his old man instantly became extremely tall.
To kill or not to kill - Biao Ye also caught up later, but a little bit of a spell.
"Slaughter it, and the cooperative will compensate the eighth master when the time comes." Li Xiaopang also felt that he should celebrate, so he came out in the name of the cooperative, after all, it was not easy for the old man to raise a few sheep.
There is mutton to eat--everyone is even happier, especially the three fat men, who came to Li Baitian and raised his thumb vigorously.
When everyone went out to work in the afternoon, the three sheep had already cleaned up and were picking up haggis there. I found a few nearby, and used a cauldron to boil all the mutton and haggis, and everyone was more energetic and motivated when they worked.
The village chief was not very relieved, and walked around the black blind man twice, and sure enough, the water surface was expanding little by little, believing that as long as a few months passed, he would be able to restore the scale of the year, so he was even more happy.
When I came back from work in the evening, every family went to receive meat with a big rice bowl, Li Xiaopang was no exception, and the stupid uncle carried a big laundry basin and crowded at the front of the line.
"Fool, you want to even serve the pot!" Someone next to him was joking.
Li Xiaopang hurriedly replaced the stupid uncle with a rice bowl: The laundry basin is dirty, how can you eat it?
Even the soup and meat got most of the pot back, the milky white soup floated with sheep intestines and tripe, and the fat man picked some green tender coriander from the simple shed in the garden and sprinkled it on it, drank a sip, and it was fresh until it reached the stomach intestines.
"Eat mutton every day!" It's rare for the stupid uncle to speak, he is holding a big bone, and he gnaws it so much.
Monkey San also nodded next to him, this thing was gnawing on lamb chops, and after gnawing half of it, he threw it behind him, and was caught by Qingzi with his mouth, and then gnawed on the stubble.
Such a day is not far away-Li Xiaopang happily tore a lamb chop for Yaya, and thought about it in his heart......
Throughout April, the people of the Black Blind Tun radiated unprecedented enthusiasm, the meadow is expanding day by day, the area of the black blind man's bubble is also expanding day by day, the small river in front of the village has been gurgling, I believe that in the near future, it will be connected with the distant river. It's called Sanchakou, which is the confluence of the Nenjiang River, the Songhua River and the Black Blind River, but now it should be called the two-way crossing.
Li Xiaopang urgently dispatched a few truckloads of grass seeds, and everyone's enthusiasm was so high, of course they had to strike while the iron was hot. However, this batch of grass seeds is not free, and for this reason, the cooperative's limited deposit is a lot less. And the area of the Seven Star Bubble is too large to be planted at all. A little farther away from the Black Blind Tun, you can only plant some along the river of the original bubble first. Because everyone believes that since the black blind bubble can come back to life, there are several other bigger bubbles as well.
In fact, Li Xiaopang has also been working hard secretly, but this water grinding work is not an overnight effort, everything has to be done slowly.
Everything is going for the better, but in recent days, there have been fewer and fewer smiles on everyone's faces. Because next to the grass that had just grown an inch long, there were small mounds of earth, densely packed, only one a few steps away.
The grass near the mound began to wither and die one by one, and everyone saw blood dripping from their hearts and fire in their eyes.
"These damn blind rats deserve to be skinned and cramped!" Everyone hated it so much that it tickled at the root of their teeth. The so-called blind rat, whose scientific name is the grassland mole, is called a blind rat because of its small eyes and poor vision.
This thing rarely goes to the ground, and basically burrows in the ground, specifically destroying grass roots, which is a major pest in the grassland. Li Xiaopang also once asked Yaya to lead Rhubarb and Erhuang to come over to suppress the bandits, but the blind rat hid in the ground, and the Rhubarb male and mother couldn't do it.
In the past few days, the people in the village have studied how to deal with blind rats, and Li Daming advocated some rat poison, but was vetoed by Li Xiaopang. Although this can be relieved and soothed, other animals will also want to take root in the meadow in the future. Just like the red-haired fox, if he eats the mouse that was drugged to death, he will definitely die.
Some people also raised objections: as far as Li Da understands the medicine he dispenses, he must have eaten the rat to make him fat. When I heard this joke, everyone would definitely laugh, but now I don't have the heart to laugh.
There are also advocates of digging rat holes, but the two front paws of blind rats are very good at digging holes, and they are literally digging mazes in the ground, unless all the pastures are dug up, then the losses will be greater.
"You can't cure it, Biaozi, you can't think about tricks, back then you were known as the best hunter in this one hundred and eighty miles!" The village chief's uncle was also at a loss and asked Li Dabiao for advice. But Li Dabiao also scratched his head: it was no problem to ask him to deal with wild boars and foxes, even if he wrestled with bears, but he also had no tricks to deal with the grassland moles that were active underground.
After holding back for a long time, Li Dabiao proposed a method: use snakes to cure rats. Because snakes can burrow into rat holes and smash the yellow dragon. In the past, when digging the rat hole, I found a snake in it, and I didn't know the truth and thought that the snake and rat were a nest, but in fact, people went in to hunt for food.
It's a good way, but the meadows were so badly damaged a few years ago that not to mention snakes, even loaches are eradicated. All of a sudden, where to find so many snakes.
Seeing that the grassland was being destroyed day by day, everyone couldn't eat and sleep, and even Li Xiaopang's lips had a layer of fire bubbles, and he couldn't wait to shrink into a small point, and then go into the rat hole to end those scourges.
Thinking about it, Li Xiaopang slapped his thigh vigorously: We can't get into the mouse hole, but the water can flow in, fill the girl!
So he went to Uncle Biao to discuss it, but was doused with cold water: the blind rat had to fill the underground passage in all directions, and it needed a lot of water to fill it; Moreover, the sandy land has a strong water seepage capacity, and if you want to pour them out, you probably have to find a water truck from the fire brigade.
How do you know if you don't try, Li Xiaopang has his own plans. And everyone also supports it, and it is estimated that they are also in a hurry to go to the doctor. So those big men all went into battle with buckets, and even the little dolls came with washbasins or something.
Because the black blind man soaked in water, so it was quite convenient to get water, and he found a big hole, and poured buckets of cold water into it.
More than a dozen people poured water into it, but there was still no movement in the cave. Li Da clearly crawled on the edge of the cave entrance to study: "The evil gate, even if it is a big living person inside, it is estimated that he can drown——"
"There's water over there!" The three fat men shouted not far away, and everyone went over to take a look, and sure enough, this side was poured and that side was flowing out, could it be that this hole was empty, and there were no blind mice?
Something is wrong - Li Xiaopang quietly put his finger into the puddle at the entrance of the cave, followed the water flow, explored all the way, and finally found the clue, when the water flow passed through the place, there was a little change.
Rush - mobilize the water to rush violently, and it is like opening a hole, and the water is pouring into it at a rapid pace.
"Attention, it's coming out!" I see, Li Xiaopang was excited in his heart, it must be a blind rat blocking the hole below, this thing has a super digging ability, and knows the way to cover the soil with water.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, there was movement at the other exit, and the two blind rats who couldn't stand it finally showed their heads, with round heads and round brains, chubby, and dense brown fur on their bodies. However, when they get to the ground, they don't belong to their territory, and the blind rats move clumsily, and their eyes are not good, so there is basically no way to escape.
There was a shouting and beating, and the shovels and pickaxes were all down, mixed with a few screams: "Smash my feet—"
After a moment of scramble, both blind rats were beaten to pulp. This shows how big the anger is in everyone's hearts.
"I'm blind, this thing is still useful, I'll catch it alive next time!" Li Daming picked up the mouse with a regretful face, and only after everyone's questioning did he know that the blind mouse was also full of treasures: the fur and otter skin were combined, which was a good thing for making fur; Rat meat is delicious and is a delicacy on some people's tables. Even bones can be used in medicine, the name of traditional Chinese medicine is "ground sheep", and most of the tiger bone wine sold in the world is soaked in ground sheep.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it: What the hell, there are still people eating blind rats? Also, it's not tiger wine, it's rat wine!
Then catch it alive -- everyone continued to fight, and with Li Xiaopang's command, at the end of the day, they actually caught fifty or sixty fat grassland moles, and they caught them as a pair, and the harvest was not small.
It was not until after dark that the troops were collected and returned to the camp, and they agreed to continue the anti-rat operation tomorrow morning. As for the blind rats that were captured alive, they were dealt with by Li Dabiao. Peeling the skin and disemboweling, I have been busy for half the night. However, no one dared to try the rat meat, so it could only be dried and then sold. Even if you can't sell it, it doesn't matter, you can still sell it as a medicinal herb.
The next day, the people were more enthusiastic about catching rats, and they went to the meadow early in the morning, wondering if the blind rats hiding in the ground were trembling.
And at this time, I saw Li Daming carrying a few cages, happily releasing the blind rats inside, twisting his clumsy waist, and burrowing back into the hole.
This move immediately aroused public outrage, looking at the posture of everyone's eyebrows, if Li Da understood that if he didn't give an explanation, he would definitely be stuffed into the mouse hole by the angry crowd.
