Chapter 0039: Operation Rat Extermination
"Xu, what do you have a good idea?" Old John became interested and reminded: "If it is drugged, it is not good, it is very bad for the environment, and it may also make cattle and sheep accidentally eat rat poison." Or, another carnivore accidentally eats a drugged mouse. ”
"Don't worry, John, I won't use such a stupid act as drugged." Xu Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously, the preferred method to kill rats in China is rat poison, I have to say, this approach is really stupid.
Not to mention that poultry and animals may be eaten by mistake, and even ignorant children will eat by mistake, such a tragedy has happened and not one or two.
To say that as a person who grew up in the countryside, Xu Xiaoyu's methods of catching rats are still relatively rich, and he chose two kinds according to local conditions. So he made a special trip to the city of Reno and bought back a large number of cages, short iron rods and thin wires.
"I thought you had a good idea, it turned out to be in the cage."
Old John looked at the pile of things he had bought, and said disapprehantly: "I have been under the cage before, but the mouse is more cunning than the fox, and after catching a few of them, it is difficult to catch them." And all the mice that are caught are small mice, and the big rats will not come in at all! ”
Old John was telling the truth, using a cage to catch mice, and that was indeed the case.
Xu Xiaoyu didn't say anything to him, since he bought so many cages and came back, he naturally had his way.
Kyle Yuan next to her was playing with a short iron rod and asked curiously, "What is Xu for?" ”
"Lower noose." Xu Xiaoyu said, took an iron rod, took a thin iron wire, tightly wound the thin iron wire around the iron bar, and then made a looper.
This is exactly the same as the rope sleeve he set the rabbit that day, the principle is exactly the same, but the rabbit uses a wooden stick and rope, and the mouse is replaced with an iron rod and wire, after all, the mouse's teeth are very sharp, and the rope wooden stick 'click' was bitten off by it, useless.
"Oh?" Old John learned Xu Xiaoyu's method, and also made a simple device, put his hand into the wire sleeve, and found that the slightest movement, the wire will cover the wrist, if he doesn't struggle, it's okay, the more he struggles, the tighter the wire will be wrapped, and it feels like handcuffs.
Discovering the mystery, Old John couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xu, this thing is much more interesting than a cage, but rats don't stupidly burrow into this." ”
Kyle guessed, "Xu, you're going to put this thing in the mouth of the rat hole, right?" ”
"I can't do it without the hole, I don't expect the rats to burrow into this on their own." Xu Xiaoyu said approvingly, and squeezed Old John by the way.
Old John didn't blush this time, and insisted on his own opinion: "Xu, you underestimate the cunning of the mouse, even if you put this thing at the entrance of the hole, it will bypass it, or it will destroy it first." In my opinion, if you can catch a mouse in ten sets, it's pretty good. ”
"Xu, John's judgment, right?" Kyle said.
"True or not, just wait for the results." Xu Xiaoyu smiled vaguely.
"Then we'll see." Old John exclaimed unconvinced.
Next, the trio began to make this noose.
Xu Xiaoyu got back a short iron rod and thin wire, much more than a cage, where is he only going to eliminate the rats in the vegetable field, he clearly wants to eliminate the rhythm of all the rats in the entire ranch!
Not to mention that Xu Xiaoyu really wants to kill all the rats in the ranch at the moment, of course this is unrealistic, but he also wants to eliminate as many of them as possible!
Because Xu Xiaoyu knows very well that although the taste of the vegetables watered by the space water is different from the vegetables produced by the space, it is much better than ordinary vegetables. Inevitably, the vegetable patch will attract most of the herbivores in the pasture, including the most voracious rats!
Now the rats have dug up a dozen tunnels leading to the vegetable patch? Aren't there dozens of vegetables being gnawed now?
This is just the beginning!
Xu Xiaoyu is sure that if he doesn't take any measures and let everything go unchecked, there will not necessarily be much more 'tunnel exits' in the vegetable field, but the entire vegetable field will definitely become a paradise for rats, a paradise for them!
At that time, it will be flooded with rats!
Therefore, for Xu Xiaoyu, eliminating the rats in the pasture is equivalent to eliminating the rats in the vegetable field!
The three of them made hundreds of rope sleeves in their feet, and first blocked the entrance of the mouse hole in the vegetable field, because this wire sleeve could only lasso one mouse, and it could not do anything against the rat that followed.
Of course, plugging the hole is only an expedient measure, and in the face of the temptation of delicious fresh vegetables in the vegetable field, the crazy rats will definitely dig out another outlet!
"Willie, Nick!"
Old John summoned the two cattle dogs, who were lazily basking in the sun by the herd not far away, and left them with the matter of finding the rat hole.
With the assistance of Willy and Nick, Xu Xiaoyu arranged hundreds of wire rope sleeves at the mouth of the rat holes.
As the saying goes, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and after this busy work, everyone found that there were really enough mice in the ranch, which made Xu Xiaoyu and Kaieryuan speechless. And Old John gritted his teeth and scolded the hateful thief and the hateful saboteur!
After the arrangement, it was already the sunset, and the sky was dark.
Old John patted the grass clippings on his hands and asked with a smile: "By the way, Xu, how do you get that pile of cages?" ”
"Leave this matter to me, let's go back to the villa and get dinner first." Xu Xiaoyu said with a smile.
returned to the villa and started cooking, the old rule Xu Xiaoyu was in charge of being the chef, and An Lina was learning to work next to him.
And Kyle Yuan, who has officially established a relationship with Xu Xiaoyu, also watched with interest from the side, helping An Lina wash the vegetables or something.
"Kyle, you're a guest, how can you let you do it, you go outside and watch TV." Anlena said to her with a smile.
Kyle Yuan, who has a straightforward personality, shook her head and said, "An Lina, in fact, I mainly want to see how Chinese food is made, because I have never seen it before." ”
"I think you want to see Xu's heroic appearance when cooking." Anlena teased her.
"Hmm." Kyle admits without blushing, saying, "That's one of the reasons I'm in the kitchen." ”
The two women were talking and doing things, while Xu Xiaoyu tied up his bib and began to show his skills.
Holding a spatula in his hand, he seemed to be holding a peerless weapon, and the momentum of dominating the world, who else should I be, and the majestic mountains and rivers came out immediately!
It was the first time Kyle had seen him in charge, and looking at his bullish appearance, he couldn't help but stare at him with big watery eyes, and at the bottom of his startled heart, a voice shouted: Mom, can you still be so domineering when you cook a dish?! Xu, you are really so charming, you really deserve to be my dear!! No wonder the dishes you cook are so delicious!! Love you so much!!
Then, Xu Xiaoyu's series of smooth, artistic and ornamental actions surprised Kyle Yuan at the same time, a heart like a frightened deer, 'plopped plop' panicked, and found that her Chinese boyfriend was better than she imagined, and she felt very happy!
After enjoying dinner beautifully, Kyle accompanied old John Annlena to watch TV and chat, while Xu Xiaoyu took a small bag of beef cut into small pieces and came to the cabin.
Dodge into the space, take out a small bucket of space water, and soak the beef in it.
After soaking for a while, a piece is placed in each cage, the mechanism is set up, and the cages are distributed in the pasture.
Xu Xiaoyu believes that with beef and space water, even the most cunning mouse on Shijie will obediently enter the cage and throw himself into the net!
