Chapter 40: Mouse Signals

Xiao Qiang went home, just to tell Xiao Yu that the town was ready to send someone over, and it was estimated that tonight, he would be able to sprinkle the insecticide! But now, I don't know who leaked the bugs growing on the apple trees, and many apple dealers don't want to buy apples from Shimo Village, saying that they are afraid of eating people out of trouble.

"These people are so hateful, they used to beg us to sell apples, but now they don't buy them when they see something! As far as their little caution is concerned, isn't it just to keep down the price of apples, and they haven't done shoddy things."

Xiao Qiang took a sip of tea and muttered resentfully.

In the entire village, it is estimated that Xiao Yu's family and Xiao Ping's family have not suffered a lot of losses! At that time, although some people listened to Xiao Yu's advice, they slowed down their movements when they saw that others did not move, so the current loss is only a little less than others.

"Dad, since someone is in charge of this matter, don't worry about it, lest you have to do it and not be able to please it."

Xiao Yu sat on the door pier, looked at Xiao Qiang with a look of righteous indignation, and couldn't help but comfort.

Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Qiang's mouth opened, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, he knew what Xiao Yu meant, after Xiao Yu said this, many people questioned him, and now that something happened, he really can't blame himself! But as a villager of Shimo Village, if he pretended not to see it, it would be unreasonable.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang chatted for a while, and then went back to the house to draw a few talismans, then found Xiao Ping, and the two rushed to the orchard on the mountain together, it was already dusk, but the mountain was still lively, many villagers took flashlights, and there was a night of overtime, and all the apples were picked.

"Xiao Yu, it's almost dark, you said to catch butterflies? In our orchard, how can there be any butterflies" Xiao Ping was also very excited when he first heard about catching butterflies, but after walking around the apple orchard with Xiao Yu, he didn't find anything, so he couldn't help muttering.

"What do you know, butterflies will only come out when it's dark, I said there is," Xiao Yu said while looking left and right.

Xiao Yu wanted to try his luck and see if he could find butterflies, after all, if those insects were really butterflies, the other party would definitely be around! But the orchard is too dense, although the fruit trees have been eaten by insects, but the butterfly is hiding under the leaves casually, and it is estimated that his eyes can see through it, and he can't find the other party!

After turning around in the orchard for more than two hours, Xiao Yu's legs were a little numb, and there was still no receipt, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, even if there were butterflies now, I couldn't see it.

"Let's go, go home, come back tomorrow" Xiao Yu squatted down, rubbed his numb legs, and then continued, "Xiao Ping, why didn't you see Uncle Ercang today, did you see it?" ”

Xiao Ping picked an apple from the tree, wiped it on his clothes, and quickly shook his head and said, "He was very mysterious that day, how could I see it!" But in the afternoon someone asked him to pull apples, saying that he had left with a bag and did not know what to do."

"With a bag, do you want to go out to work?" Xiao Yu said.

"Who knows, if he had been working, he would have gone out a long time ago, how could it be now," Xiao Ping muttered as he ate an apple.

As soon as she got home in the evening, Xiao Yu's mother walked out of the kitchen and pulled Xiao Yu to compare, "A police officer called at night, saying that he knew you and asked you for help if he had something, but was blocked by your father, saying that you went to school and had no time."

"Mom knows that you and your grandfather have learned some things, but now that the ghost has been caught, don't run around, hurry up and review, get ready to go to school, you will be in the sixth grade soon, and you have to take a good junior high school exam, so that you can go to college."

Xiao Yu's mother gestured for a while, and Xiao Yu understood what she meant, and immediately pulled his mother to sit on the stool.

"Mom, I know, but there are still some things to do, if I don't deal with it, it will probably affect the village! But don't worry, I won't delay my studies, don't worry about you and Dad."

"Okay, you are a sensible child, your mother is uneducated, you don't know anything, if you need anything, just tell your mother, and your mother will definitely find a way for you."

After speaking, Xiao Yu's mother got up and went to the kitchen again, brought out a bowl of eggs, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Yu to eat quickly. This egg can not only hatch chicks, but also take it out and sell it for money, although it is not much, but it can always be used to lay some noodles at home.

After a while, the town's technical department came, mixed some potions overnight, and began to spray a large area in the orchard, wanting to keep the fruit trees from being damaged by insects as soon as possible! And I heard from the technicians in the town that this bug is a mealworm, which usually only appears when it blooms, and they don't understand why there are so many of them now.

At night, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly a mouse came out of the corner, but as soon as the mouse came out, he was picked up by the little ghost floating in the house, and he suddenly floated in the air, and the mouse was so frightened that it squeaked non-stop, and it seemed extremely frightened, and it woke up the sleeping Xiao Yu at once.

Xiao Yu turned over and got up, and when he saw the mouse floating in the air, he knew that he was caught by the little ghost, and immediately said, "Xiaoqiang, let him go."

The sound fell, and the mouse slammed to the ground, and then hurriedly ran to the corner, but did not escape, but stood up on two front legs, bowed to Xiao Yu, and then squeaked non-stop.

Looking at this strange mouse, Xiao Yu thought that the mouse wanted to eat, so he pinched a little steamed bun from the table at the head of the bed and threw it over, but the mouse sniffed on the steamed bun, and then still squeaked.

"What do you mean? Still don't think it's delicious? Xiao Yu was amused by the appearance of the mouse, and immediately got up from the bed and walked towards the mouse, and at this moment, the mouse suddenly ran towards Xiao Yu's door, ran a few steps and turned around and squeaked at Xiao Yu twice.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu understood that this must have been the mountain god who asked the mouse to report the news, and the mouse meant to let himself go with him!

"Xiaoqiang, let's go" Xiao Yu hurriedly put on his clothes, gently opened the door, and ran out with the mouse.

The speed of the rat was very fast, and he looked back at Xiao Yu and them while running, one man and one beast, and they entered the orchard in an instant, but now there are fewer people in the orchard, even if there are people, they are all villagers who guard the orchard here, so Xiao Yu walked around these villagers with ease, followed the mouse, walked for two hours, and finally stopped in a corner of the orchard.

In the corner of the orchard, the mountain god mouse was standing up straight, looking ahead, seeing Xiao Yu coming, he rushed out in two steps, and then quickly climbed to Xiao Yu's shoulder and said, "Dao Chief, just on the tree in front, look."
