Chapter 69: Dry Lotus
Grandma took everyone to the north, and on the way I found that there were small green lights all around, and my uncle said that it was not fireflies, but rats. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I didn't understand what it meant, but my uncle briefly told me what was going on with this rat infestation.
It turned out that many years ago, when my uncle was young, our village had an uncle trouble once a year, and at that time the food was not enough to eat, and people couldn't eat enough, and the rat had to compete with people for food, so the rat at that time was one of the four pests.
At that time, there were very few cats in the village, and every family couldn't eat enough, so how could they have the ability to raise cats, so the rats became more and more rampant, and they couldn't catch them all, so everyone tried all kinds of ways to deal with mice. But everyone thinks about it, how can so many rats survive without food? Some people began to observe the rats, and then the villagers in charge of drainage and irrigation found that the rats came to the river at dawn and waited, and soon they saw that the fish were thrown ashore, and the rats immediately pounced on the fish and ate them.
It turned out that the reason why the rats were able to survive the famine years, and more and more of them were accomplices, the villager continued to observe, and found that when the fish of the day were thrown out of the water to the shore, a bigger rat emerged from the river, and then looked closely, where was the mouse, it turned out to be a mouse, it was a thing in the river, and the mice on the bank finished eating, and they were really worthy of the mouse, so they each spit out a grain of grain from their mouths, a mouse and a grain of rice, how many mice are there, Soon a small pile of food was placed in front of the raccoon, the rat was not polite, after receiving it and dived into the water, later through observation, it turned out that the rat was using this rice to feed his own little boy, it seems that they really help each other, this is bitter to the villagers, there are rats on the ground to steal food, there are rats in the water to steal fish, this is not alive.
Not to mention that the more difficult it is, the more it can show people's wisdom, and some people have found that there is a plant in our village, called "dry lotus"! This dry lotus is very interesting, it is said to be a lotus, but it grows on the ground, so the people in the village call it a dry lotus, which is quite appropriate.
Although this flower is not precious, everyone found that those flies, mosquitoes, ants, rats and so on all walked around it, as if they were afraid of it, so some people suggested using the energy of this flower to cure rodent infestation.
So people planted and collected this flower in large quantities, broke them, blocked the entrance and exit of the mouse hole, the mouse did not dare to come out, but as the days go by, they will make holes from other places, so people also plant some of this dry lotus next to it when planting food, and sprinkle this flower around when storing grain, so that wherever there is food, there is the shadow of dry lotus, and as the days go by, these mice will not stay in the village. And this rat infestation was thus destroyed by the wisdom of the villagers and the miraculous effect of the dry lotus.
I pointed to the side and said, "The current situation is where can we find that dry lotus, is the little green light around here really the eyes of a mouse?" ā
"Needless to say, didn't you see that little green light was moving! But don't be afraid, uncle has it. As he spoke, he took something out of his military bag.
When I saw this, I almost got amused.
