The so-called heroes don't eat the immediate losses, I saw that things were not good, threw a torch and shouted Baoguo and Tianning to run away, the two people did not react, and were stunned there, at this time the two red-eyed rats, standing on the ground with their hind legs, living like a person, squeaked a few times, after a few sounds, those panicked rats, all of a sudden, looked at us with green eyes.

After I shouted Baoguo and Tianning, I saw that those rats were looking at us, these rats, don't look small, but it's not easy to deal with, it's not an opponent to fight alone with us, but if there is a leading leader, it's completely different, the rat is fast, there is the same ferocity and cunning as the wolf, the rat eats people too terrifying, as long as a while, you can gnaw people into the white bones of the forest, the experience of the black wind ditch, let me have a clear understanding of the cruelty of the mouse.

At this time, Baoguo and Tianning were reversed, and saw the rats gathered together again, and the two of them threw the torches into the rat pile, and then the three of us ran away, and behind them was the screams of the rats, and you didn't need to look to know that it was the sound of those rats on fire and running for their lives. We were relieved to run outside the door, and I turned around and quickly locked the door.

After I locked the gate, Baoguo said to me: "Senior brother, we didn't get rid of the big rat inside, how can we explain this matter to Brother Xu?" ”

Tian Ning said: "Second Senior Brother, are you stupid? Our little lives were almost taken away by rats, if it weren't for our senior brother's quick reaction, maybe we would all have become rats. ”

I said: "Senior brother knows the current affairs for Junjie, we are not fools, this mouse is not an ordinary mouse, we have encountered it in the Black Wind Valley, in the blink of an eye, the mouse gnawed people into white bones, the three of us in front of that group of rats, directly for nothing." ”

Bao Guo said: "I also know the truth in this, but ......"

I said, "You don't have to worry about protecting the country, I already have a way." ”

Tian Ning said: "Senior brother, I know your way, that is, to set a fire and burn this Xu family compound, and the fire will be burned clean, and it will become scorched earth, and those rats will become coke." ”

I said, "Tianning, you're wrong, we're not ringing horses, how can we burn down the house?" This Xu family compound is so big, isn't it a pity that it burned down? Go, go back, I have my own ideas. ”

The three of us went back, and as soon as we knocked on the door where Xu Jingshan lived, Xu Jingshan hurriedly opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he said happily: "The monsters in the courtyard have been eliminated?" ”

We shook our heads, and Xu Jingshan said, "What kind of monsters are those monsters?" ”

We told him what we had seen, and then Xu Jingshan listened, frowned, and spun in circles in the yard, saying while turning in circles: "It turned out to be a mouse, how could there be such a terrible mouse?" ”

At this time, Xu Jingshan's own family Xu old man came over, this old man said that he was more than eighty years old, but he was in good health, and he was as strong as Shun Ye, after listening to it, Xu Old Man pondered for a while and said: "I know what several little Taoists said, in fact, I have seen big rats back then, these rats generally appear on the battlefield, they are originally ordinary rats, but these rats feed on human flesh, and after these rats eat human flesh, their bodies will increase."

As the human flesh slowly decays, these rats ignore the smell, and have been greedily eating human flesh, at this time the human flesh has corpse poison, corpse poison slowly invades the mind of the mouse, the eyes of the mouse begin to turn red, the character becomes ferocious and violent, it is said that the mouse with the corpse poison should die, but these rats with corpse poison, not only do not die, but also live longer than those ordinary rats, the wisdom of the mouse is gradually growing with age, and slowly these rats become sperm and become the king of rats.

These rat essence sometimes eat human flesh, their favorite food is the eyes of the dead, especially the eyes of the dead, after the death of the person will have a special smell, these rat essence will follow the smell, in the dead of night, they will climb to the bed of the dead, steal the eyes of the dead, eat the eyes of the dead, it is said that it can increase the Tao of the mouse, so the folk to the dead people's mourning hall guards, not only to prevent cats and dogs from approaching, the dead to cheat the corpse, the other is to prevent the rat from eating people's eyes.

It is said that eating children's eyes, nose and ears will also enhance the Tao of rats, so there are often rumors of eating children. ”

What Old Man Xu said was actually very common in our time, there were people in our village who were bitten off by rats, and there were old people who died at night, and the next day they found that their eyes were eaten by something. I remember that a kid about my age didn't have a nose, and his nose was bitten off by a mouse. At that time, adults needed to work to support their families, but unlike now, there are special people to watch the children, so the children sleep in nests.

To put it bluntly, this nest is just a basket with tattered clothes or something. There is a reason why children in that era were stupid, because at that time there was not such a rich material and cultural life as now, and children could only stay in the nest every day, looking at the roof, and they didn't know how to climb out of the nest when they were more than two years old, which is unthinkable now.

The same is true of the child who lacks a nose, his parents put him in the nest, and went to work in the field, and when he came back, he heard his lifeless howl, and his father came to the house with a hoe, and when he saw it in the house, he was stunned, and saw that in the son's nest, there was a white fur thing, the thing had red eyes, a slender body, and a long tail dragged on the outside of the nest, and was eating his child with a sharp mouth, which was a very rare big mouse, and the child was full of blood at this time, and there was a howl.

The child's father didn't dare to hit the mouse with a hoe, because the mouse was all in the nest, and the hoe would hurt his son, and he was also in a hurry, stepped over a few steps, grabbed the tail of the mouse at once, and pulled the mouse out of the cradle and fell to the ground.

Just fell to the ground, the mouse, actually like a human sigh, then the child mother who came in was frightened, she turned around in fright and ran out, to the street to shout, and the child's father saw that the child's nose was gone, and quickly covered the child's nose with cotton.

At this time, the people in the village came, everyone ran to the house, the child's father handed the child to his mother, touched the hoe, and was about to smash the mouse, so that everyone did not expect that only to hear the big mouse, looking at the child's father with red eyes, shouting: "You dare to smash me, can you find death?" ”

This sound stunned the child's father, not only the child's father was stunned, but everyone who came to see the excitement was stunned, and then the big mouse said: "My family lives in the Black Dragon Cave in Xishan, and I am the king of rats here, only because I went to Beishan Huang Lao to eat a few cups of greed, and it fell into your hands, you must not be unreasonable to me, if you want to think about it, build a temple for me, and I will keep you safe." ”

In this way, a few old superstitions on the village knelt down directly to the rat essence and begged the mouse essence to forgive everyone for their recklessness. The child's father's heart began to waver, but as soon as he heard the child's painful cry, he suddenly became angry, raised his hoe and was about to smash it, and several old superstititions begged the child's father not to beat. But the character that does not belong to the Shandong Han, the child's father raised the hoe and went towards the mouse, scolding while beating until the rat was beaten to a pulp.

At this moment, a few old superstitions were frightened, and they hurriedly collected the corpses of the rats, burned incense and prayed. As a result, nothing happened to the family that killed the rat essence, and a few old superstitious rats became a disaster. The one with a little nose, although it was only treated with incense ash and noodles, but in the end it healed very well, and slowly grew up, with big eyes and a tall man, but the only deficiency was that there was no nose.

Old man Xu talked about it again, and Xu Jingshan was worried at that time, and finally he begged us to find a way to get rid of these rats, I said: "Don't look small about these rats, but they are difficult to deal with, to deal with rat essence, only cats can." ”

Old man Xu shook his head when he heard this and said: "Xiaodao chief, don't mention these cats, since last year, all cats in our village have become extinct, even if they get kittens in the outer village, they have disappeared for no reason, some people say that our village has offended the cat god, so the cats are basically extinct." ”
