Chapter 0038: The Plague of Rats
(Thanks to Meng Yuan, Tianya Reef, Dures Xiao Mo, and the three villagers for their tips...... In the list, tears begged for collections, recommended votes, and rewards...... οΌ
The two danced ballroom dances, and after more than ten dances, Xu Xiaoyu was already at ease.
At this time, anyone who looks left and right, up and down, front and back, from any point of view, can't see that he is a beginner!
Holding Kyle Yuan's warm and moist soft twing, hugging her slender and soft waist, clinging to her sexy and fiery body, dancing lightly, Xu Xiaoyu began to like the wonderful feeling of this dance.
I was immersed in the romantic beauty of the two shijie, and when they were dancing happily, there was a sound of horses' hooves over there.
"Xu, Kyle Yuan, good afternoon, I really envy your youth."
It was old John who came on the black quartsenge, and at the edge of the vegetable patch, he turned over and dismounted, and greeted the two with a smile.
"Oh John, good afternoon."
The two laughed in response, stopped dancing, let go of their hands, and walked to the vegetable patch.
Xu Xiaoyu has used space water to water the vegetable field every night these days, so all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable field grow rapidly, and the whole vegetable field is like a pasture, a green and thriving scene, which is very endearing.
"Xu, yesterday I went to their vegetable patch with Ellari Perlington, and the vegetable seedlings they planted have only grown a little bit bigger now. But your vegetable patch, or the seeds we patched together that day, weishenme has grown so big? Kyle Yuan took Xu Xiaoyu's arm and asked suspiciously.
Xu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Obviously, this shows that the soil of Jinshan Ranch is more fertile than the soil of Weiwei Farm." β
Kyle believed it, but Old John didn't: "But the vegetables that Weishenme and I planted with An Lina grow so much slower?" And we will change places almost every year or two? β
"Well, that's a matter of personal charm." Xu Xiaoyu smiled nonsense.
Kyle giggled.
Old John glanced at Xu Xiaoyu blankly, and when he was about to say something, suddenly, he pointed to the vegetable field and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xu, look at it!" β
Xu Xiaoyu hurriedly followed his fingers and looked over, and was also taken aback, only to see that there was a cabbage, which was gnawed off a small half, obviously eaten by some animal.
Kyle also saw it, and she wondered, "Isn't the barbed wire fence connected with electricity, and it's so high, how did the stealer get in?" β
"I don't know about that." Xu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's go, let's go to the field and have a look, maybe we can find the answer." β
When the three of them came to the vegetable field, old John pulled out the cabbage, looked at the gnawing teeth marks on it, and suddenly he showed a look of understanding, and said, "It's a mouse, a bad thing done by a hateful mouse!" Xu: Let's look and see, there should be something else to discover. β
βhaodeγβ
The three of them began to look around carefully, and after a few moments, Kyle shouted, "There's a cabbage bitten here." β
Xu Xiaoyu and Old John hurriedly went over, picked the cabbage, and saw that the tooth marks on it were exactly the same as those on the cabbage, and there was no doubt that it was the masterpiece of a mouse.
Next, the three of them found dozens of bitten vegetables one after another, and apparently there were quite a few rats that had entered the vegetable field.
The rat has no wings, and it can't climb electrified barbed wire, so the only way for it to get in is to use its natural specialty - to play the tunnel!
All three of them understood this, but it was much more difficult to find the hidden rat hole than to find the bitten vegetables. This didn't look around, and it took a long time to find a mouse hole.
Old John simply went to bring Willy, the cow dog, Willy's sense of smell was very sensitive, and he lived up to expectations, and soon found all the mouse holes in the vegetable field, a dozen.
"I can't figure it out, the grass outside the vegetable field is so rich and delicious, why do the mice have to give up the near and far, the easy and the difficult, and drill into the vegetable field?" Old John couldn't figure it out.
In fact, the vegetables he and Ann Lina grow are also fenced with barbed wire with electricity, but over the years, there have been very few cases of rats burrowing into the vegetable fields to steal. However, now, Xu Xiaoyu's vegetable field has only been planted for more than ten days, and it has attracted so many rats - if Old John thinks about it, it will be strange!
"It seems that there is a time when people are too attractive, and it is not necessarily a good thing!!"
Xu Xiaoyu spread his hands, looking helpless. As for the rat Weishenme's preference to burrow into his vegetable patch, old John and Kyle didn't understand this question, but he didn't even use his toes, so he knew what was going on!
It is said that every day, day or night, there will be a lot of herbivores outside the wire wall, drooling and looking into the vegetable field, thinking that the scenery in the vegetable field is beautiful, attracting them and can't help it?!
Kyle glanced at the stinky Xu Xiaoyu and said, "These rats are so hateful and annoying, we have to get rid of them all!" β
Old John shook his head and said, "There are too many rats in the ranch and outside the pasture, and it is obviously unrealistic to eliminate them all." I think the best way to do this is to keep them out of the vegetable patch. β
Xu Xiaoyu said: "It seems that we should buy a few cats, cats are the natural enemies of mice, with cats guarding the vegetable field, mice will not dare to come!" β
Kyle agrees with this approach.
Old John suggested: "Buy a Maine, this long-haired fellow, with thick hair and a strong physique, is considered a big man among all the cats." Of course, the most important thing is that it is very smart, very skilled in catching rats, and at the same time very hard-working. β
"Okay, listen to your John." Xu Xiaoyu nodded.
"Then leave this matter to me, I'll go buy a few." Old John said: "It just so happens that we are in the house, and the rats have been more arrogant lately, so it's time to raise two." β
Old John said so, and rode Senge away.
More than two hours later, he returned in a pickup truck, and he picked up a large cardboard box from the back seat, which contained four fluffy, cute kittens.
Kyle was overjoyed, and picked up one of the cutest ones, and teased her.
Xu Xiaoyu's forehead was full of black lines, and after being speechless for a while, he pointed to the kittens in the cardboard box that were not much bigger than adult mice, and said, "John, what do you mean, let them catch mice?" Or scare mice? I see, who catches whom, who scares whom, not necessarily? β
Old John scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Originally, I was going to buy an adult cat, but although the Maine cat is gentle, it is very stubborn, and it is not easy to raise a big cat." So, after thinking about it, I had no choice but to buy kittens. β
"I agree with what John said, cats can only develop feelings when they are raised from a young age." Kyle Yuan stroked the kitten in her arms, saw the depression on Xu Xiaoyu's face, and said with a smile: "Xu, your vegetable field is so big, it's okay if some of it is eaten by mice." β
Xu Xiaoyu shrugged helplessly: "It seems that the matter of catching mice can only rely on me." β
