Killing rats is a protracted battle, and Qi Ke has no way to do it once and for all, the food in the farmland is abundant, and the appearance of voles is inevitable.

There are also people who don't think rat infestation is a cause for concern, because it's all meat.

Qi Ke overheard someone say this, it was quite speechless, she had already issued a warning but there were still people who didn't pay attention, so what else could she say? Just smile and walk away, the adults at the military post are still waiting for her.

In the military post, everyone had just had breakfast at this time, and the village chiefs were also there, Qi Ke thought that the two of them were also here to see them off, but the content of their chat was not far from the vole.

"Our deputy village chief is here, and I heard that you just sent out the news that you have found voles." As soon as Qi Ke entered the door, before he had time to salute, General Mu took the lead in speaking.

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my maid has come to report the discovery of voles in the medicine field, a pair of young rats that have just formed a nest, and the female has been raided before she can conceive. But since a pair has been found, there will be one in other places, and it must not be careless, now is the most active time of the year for rats, pregnant and giving birth and spending the winter, stimulating them to stock up on food frantically. Qi Ke honestly saluted first, and then replied.

"Rats can be born more than rabbits, since voles have been found in Siliu Village, then other villages are not immune, so we must quickly notify them to pay attention to rat extermination."

"Voles have just arrived, and there must not be many of them, so we can sprinkle rat poison." The old ninth master said, his eyes were looking at Qi Ke.

"It's not safe, kids will pick up food from the ground." Qi Ke shook his head, "The best way is to rely on cats and dogs and rat traps, warehouses and other places where children don't often go can sprinkle some medicine, voles are here, and house mice are definitely here." ”

"Rats are really pervasive, and we used to have rats in the desperately poor and shabby place, and there was little food, and we had to be dragged away a lot by rats." Lu Chen remembered the past and shook his head helplessly, and the others also smiled bitterly with empathy.

"I have to remind you, don't eat mice, since the ancestors didn't domesticate rats into domestic animals, it means that this thing can't be eaten, don't go hungry for that bite of meat."

"Your reminder is very correct, but ......" The men present all shook their heads, and the unfinished meaning of the words was understood by everyone, people who have experienced hunger want to eat everything they see.

"Have you not had an outbreak of plague before? Once this disease appears, a large number of people will die, and if it is caused by eating rats, I have no medicine. ”

"Plague?!"

Qi Ke's words made everyone's faces change, and looking at their ugly faces, similar epidemics must have happened before.

"Now that I think about it, it's hard to say whether those diseases were plague or not, but it is true that a large number of people died, and many towns and villages where people originally lived became dead places. And not only ourselves, but also those barbarians, as long as one side gets sick, it will happen in a row inside and outside the border, and then they accuse each other of giving the disease to their own people, and then there will be war. "General Mu is old and has a high official position, and he knows a lot of things, and now he casually says three or five sentences, which must be true history.

"Yes, I am so sick that I have no strength, and I have to take up arms to fight, and if I don't die in bed, I will die on the battlefield." Lu Chen echoed.

"If Uncle Chen has similar experience, then it seems that there was a terrible epidemic not long ago?"

"This disease is not common, Deputy Village Chief Lu's experience should be a long time ago, at least I haven't had this kind of epidemic over there for many years." Bai Qing said.

"No, no, no, Qing Shao came to the general at such a young age, it was precisely because of the epidemic and war that happened before, and all the officers and soldiers were understaffed, and it happened that Qing Shao was about the same age, and you were sent here at the request of the general." General Mu said, Bai Qing was silent, his eyes were far away, and he probably sank into his memories.
