In the classical martial arts novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", there is such a play called Five Rats in Tokyo, which can be regarded as the most exciting passage of this martial arts novel.

It is about the period of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are famous three heroes and five righteousness on the rivers and lakes, of which the five meanings are also known as the five rats: Lu Fang, Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Jiang Ping, and Bai Yutang, the three heroes, and Xiong Fei, the Nanxia Zhan Zhaozhan Xiong Fei, because of the Yaowu Building, was given the name "Royal Cat" by the Four Emperors Renzong and was named the four guards with knives in front of the Emperor, and was on an errand under the master of Kaifeng Mansion Bao.

Although the rat and cat are both chivalrous, they have a grudge because of the relationship between the nicknames, which caused the dissatisfaction of the five rats. Bai Yutang, one of the five rats, left the Trap Island in a rage and went to Beijing to find Zhanzhao to challenge. On the way, he met Yan Chasan, a kind, upright and powerless scholar who rushed to take the exam, and on the way, he triggered the story of the American hero who tried Yan Chasan three times and ate fish three times, and became brothers with different surnames.

Later, Yan Chasan was framed and imprisoned, Bai Yutang helped each other, and Kaifeng Mansion sent a note to leave a knife to avenge Yan Chasan, and the case was revealed. Later, Bai Yutang entered Kaifeng at night to fight the royal cat and wanted to force Zhanzhao to eliminate the number of the royal cat, but because the blade was injured by Zhanzhao's Zhanlu sword, Bai Yutang entered the palace at night to inscribe a poem to kill, stirring up the Taishi Mansion to kill the second concubine by mistake, playing the text to save Bao Zheng, and the three rats re-entered the Kaifeng Mansion to fight the royal cat, Bai Yutang stole the three treasures of Kaifeng Mansion in a series of ways, and asked Nanxia to compete on the empty island.

Bai Yutang is familiar with the gossip formation, Zhanzhao was trapped in the Tongtian Cave as soon as he arrived at the Trap Island, and was rescued only after the help of the other three rats and the Ding twin heroes Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui. Jiang Ping flooded Baiyutang, and everyone persuaded Baiyutang together, and finally turned the conflict into jade silk, and the five righteousness returned to Kaifeng, and the rats and cats jointly assisted Lord Bao to benefit the people. Bai Yutang was named the four-rank guard with a knife, and the other four rats were named the six-grade captain with a knife, this is the five rats in Tokyo, and the storytellers under the overpass in the old days often said that it was in vain.

As for why you start with a paragraph about five rats in Tokyo? That's because what Liu Mao said is also related to the five rats, but it's not a person's nickname or anything like that, it's really five rats, and this has to be said back to the 1942 Henan famine.

When you hear this, some people will definitely complain, "Why do you say this again, do you have anything else to say?" "There are a lot of people to talk about, but the story of this book takes place in these years, and the tomb is because of the famine in Henan, and some stories have to start from the famine year.

There is a lot of talk about the famine in 42 years, we won't go into details, there was no food in the fields and wild vegetables on the mountains that year, so you can only flee and go out, it is estimated that there is still a way to live, if anyone waits at home, then when the grave team is established in 52, they will have to burn the tenth anniversary.

Said that the rich man of Wulichuan Town is surnamed Sun, this person is five short, with a thin body, a big neck, and two head, and his head is extraordinarily big, saying that this rich man Sun is not running away, and he has a good life in the house, and people with a little brain know that he must have hidden a lot of food at home.

Although the landlords in many places were robbed of the hungry red-eyed victims at that time, this also scared the rich man Sun a lot, but fortunately he hired a large gang of fierce and evil guards at home in advance, and each of them was a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, and he was led with a long stick in his hand, and if anyone dared to break into the house, he would have to go in vertically and go out horizontally.

There is still a lot of grain in the big granary of the rich man Sun, and there are several sturdy guards around the granary all day long, and outsiders don't want to get close. But if you want food, you can also spend money to buy it, and if you don't have money to exchange for objects, you can exchange any ancestral bracelets and hairpins in the family, these things can be exchanged for a small bag of rice at most four or five catties in the rich man Sun, which is obviously making a fortune in the country, so he will not end well in the future.

said that this granary was the lifeblood of the rich man Sun, and he was afraid that he would be robbed by the victims, so he sent more people to watch it, but even so many pairs of eyes stared at day and night, and the result was still lost food.

There is a two-meter-high grain pile in the granary, and a long stick with a red rope is inserted in the middle as a ruler, which is easy to see if there is less grain. One day, the rich man Sun led a few workers to carry grain from the granary to the house, and found that the red rope on the long stick inserted in the middle of the grain pile was much higher than the grain, which was obviously a lack of grain. He was very angry and scolded those nurses for not even having a granary, and it was better to raise a few dogs. The two groups of people must have looked at the granary day and night, it is absolutely impossible for someone to go in and steal the grain, but the pile of grain is indeed a lot shorter at a glance, it must be a lack of food, this can't be explained.

For this reason, the nurses did not dare to be careless, and walked around the granary when they had nothing to do, for fear that someone would take advantage of their idle time to go in and steal the grain, but after a few days, the food was scarce.

The rich man Sun thought that these guards colluded to steal the grain, replaced the wave of people who used to watch the granary, and carefully checked the area around the granary to make sure that there were no holes that people could get into, so he felt more relieved.

It makes people laugh, and guess what, hey, there's less food. The rich man Sun felt that something was wrong, where did this grain go? How can it be lost under the noses of so many people? Later, I simply wanted to move all the grain back to the house and pile it up, even if it was moldy because of lack of ventilation, it was much better than throwing away the grain every day.

On the same night, he began to organize people to move grain, because he was afraid that people nearby would look at the food and want to grab it, so he could only wait until he was basically asleep in the dead of night before he began to move the nest. It was too dark that night, and there were no lighting tools, so I could only fill bags in the dark, and let the working people carry them back to the house when they filled them.

There is a lot of grain left in this granary, a group of people worked for several hours until dawn to move all the grain, Sun Caizhu was stingy and greedy for money, looking at the granary wall There are still a lot of fine grains, distressed, these are not all wasted, so he took the dustpan to shovel it up and put it in a bag.

The rich man went along the wall of the granary to shovel the remaining grain grains on the ground, but as soon as he reached a wall, he stepped on the empty foot, and one leg fell directly into the hole, because there were some weeds and other things blocking the entrance of the cave, and he really couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully.

The rich man Sun suffered a little bruise is not a big deal, but suddenly stepped on the air and was startled, a little shocked, and was still a little confused when he was pulled out of the hole by his legs, and when everyone was around the mouth of the cave to discuss, the rich man Sun pulled out a few people in front of him and saw the hole in the bottom of the granary to understand where the grain was.

The hole is not big, you don't want to go in, but you said that the mouse can't dig such a big hole, what can it dig? The people in the vicinity are hungry and crazy, and the animals running in the forest are almost extinct, where are the animals? Several people thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out what was going on with this hole, and then a nursing home under the rich man Sun said it.

"It doesn't matter what it is, since we stole our Lord Sun's grain, we can't let it go, let's put clips around the entrance of the cave, and wait for the things that dig holes to steal grain and come back at night, which will definitely be caught to death, and it can be regarded as relieving the hatred of Master Sun, right?" In fact, he heard people say that this hole may have been dug by some animal, and he was hungry at the time, and it would be good to be able to eat some coarse grain rice in this famine year, don't think about the meat, the rich man doesn't have it, this is the blessing sent to the door, where can he let go.

Sun Caizhu knew what was going on, if people stole it and beat it without killing it, he didn't know what kind of animal gave the food to eat and there was no place to sprinkle it, plus his legs were also a little painful and limped away, so that the guards would fill the hole and kill it after catching the animals, and he didn't care much, but what he never expected was that this hole would be able to kill a few people in the future.

It is said that the courtyard put a sleeve in the granary at night, using a big frame such as catching wolves and foxes in the forest, and closing the door with a chain lock and waiting for time to come and have a look.

The next afternoon, the guard came to the granary, and the grain was removed, and the door was unlocked, so he pushed the door in. After entering the granary, it was found that the clamps that had been placed in a circle around the hole were missing, and several iron chains were also dragged into the hole.

When he saw this, he knew that he must have caught something, and then the thing dragged the clip back to the cave, and when he saw this, he quickly grabbed the chain and tried to bring it out of the hole.

The things in the cave are not light, the sturdy nursing home did not lift it for the first time, and the face was red before the things in the cave were raised, and when this was taken out, it was startled, it was none other than the rat, and there were five of them. But this mouse is also too big, more than a meter long from head to tail, and the hair on the whole body is white, this one can weigh more than 20 pounds, which is not much smaller than a domestic dog.

In these years, people have nothing to eat, and all the hungry people are full of skin and bones, I didn't expect this beast to grow so big, but I have never heard of a mouse can grow so big, this is really a strange news.

But it's better to be bigger, and the nursing home took advantage of the fact that the giant rat meat was still fresh, and the nursing home carried it back to the residence, and called a few better buddies to roast and eat together. A few people who were called by him forgot to wear the shoes when they heard that they were eating barbecue, and they came directly, for fear that they would be gone if they were late. When the place saw a strange thing that had been skinned on the fire, and there were a few on the ground next to it, they were all skinned and couldn't tell what it was, so a few people asked what it was?

If you want to say that eating rats is only a few areas that dare to do it, not to say that this is not clean and does not commit taboo things, just say that this rat has plague on it, no matter how hungry you are, you don't dare to eat mice. In addition, these five mice have grown so big for some reason, and the guards of this hospital are afraid that those brothers will commit taboos, so they will lie to them and say that they are foxes caught in the mountains, and they are still fresh and ruthless when they are caught. As he spoke, he roasted the meat in a circle, and the fragrance dispersed, and the saliva of the surrounding brothers was almost flowing into a river, and before it was roasted, he hurriedly reached out to tear a piece of meat and eat it.

When the nursing home saw this outstretched out, he hurriedly said, "Hey, what are you doing, you're hungry and crazy?" It's not cooked yet, you want to eat it, and you'll wait for a while, won't it be bad? ”

The buddy said, "Oh, I haven't eaten anything serious for a few days, and he stretched out my hand uncontrollably, and I can't control it." ”

The nurse saw that they were really hungry, so they added more firewood and quickly cooked the giant rats, and divided them into several portions for the brothers to eat. The brother who was hungry just now and almost put his hand into the fire ate his mouth full of oil, touched his stomach and said, "After living for so many years, I have sinned against my mother, and what do you really say about eating this fox meat today?" How do you say this and that, oh yes, yes, yes, call the living immortals, even if you die tomorrow, it's worth it. ”

Why do Chinese have many taboos? When driving, you can't say things like overturning or crashing, and you can't say anything out of place when you take a boat, such as rising water, capsizing, or sinking. This seems to make sense, if you say something inappropriate when it is inappropriate, it is easy to attract something that should not be recruited and cause trouble.
