Chapter 435: Scavengers

The sky finally cleared, and the water receded, leaving a mess and faces that wanted to cry without tears.

This rainstorm has exposed too many problems.

Everyone cried miserably, screamed and scolded, and everyone knew who should be held responsible.

When there is a lot of noise on the ground, thousands of roots, like scavengers, are cleaning up the dark side of the city.

A litter of fat and strong rats, under the hands of the scavenger, could not go for a round, all of them were destroyed, and the bones were gone.

Countless Xiaoqiang also did not escape the encirclement and suppression of the scavengers.

Mosquitoes, rats, ants, rotting corpses, everything, the root cause of the disease, was completely eradicated by the scavengers, leaving not even a trace of it.

Yuquan Villa, Lu Zhan looked at Lu Shu worriedly.

The leaves of the land tree were all rolled up, dried up, turned yellow, and fell to the ground.

It's summer, and it's really unusual that the land tree has begun to shed its leaves.

Lu Zhan stretched out his hand, touched it lightly, and a leaf fell.

He frowned, he had never seen such a situation before, and he could not remember anything like it.

He looked at the hackers crouching on the branches.

The hacker squinted his eyes, as if he was sleeping.

Lu Zhan asked, "Should we do something?"

The hackers ignored Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan condensed his spiritual strength and tried to communicate with Lu Shu.

Silent!

Boundless darkness, silence, silence.

Lu Shu seemed to be 'dead'.

This made Lu Zhan very worried.

Lu Shu is a big foodie, and he is very lively and active.

But this time, it hadn't eaten spirit stones for four or five days in a row, and its leaves had begun to turn yellow and fall.

Even if this is a catastrophe, is Lu Shu going to put it to death and then live, first die and then live?

Lu Zhan looked at the hacker and asked, "It can't die, right?"

"Meow ......"

Can't die.

Lu Zhan nodded, since he couldn't die, then he was relieved.

"Let's go, let's go back to Xiahe Village. ”

After all these days, he should go back and see.

With three cute pets, Lu Zhan drove back to Xiahe Village.

Along the way, the most common thing is the yellow silt piled up on the side of the road. The second is the house that has obviously been blistered.

When you open the window, you can smell the strong smell of earth.

When I crossed the bridge, I saw that the river was swelling, and all kinds of garbage were floating on the surface of the river, most of which were dead branches and leaves, and eye-catching plastic bags.

I didn't see any body. Not to mention human corpses, there are no animal corpses.

Cross the bridge and enter the city.

The situation in the urban area is a little better, the silt has been cleared, and the ground has been washed with high-pressure water cannons.

If it weren't for the piles of sandbags at the entrance of some communities, it would be impossible to tell that the city had just been flooded.

After a slow journey, I finally returned to Xiahe Village.

Piles of sandbags are also piled up at the entrance to the village. By the time of the next storm, these sandbags will still work.

He parked the car in the back alley, opened the courtyard gate and walked in.

Lu's mother came down from the second floor, "I'm back, why don't I know how to make a call." ”

Lu's mother came back yesterday.

Because of the heavy rain before, the road was not safe, so Lu's mother and her family stayed in the hotel for a few more days.

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "It's okay at home." ”

"It's fine. We're not flooded here. When the house was first built, the foundation was deliberately raised. ”

It's good to be okay at home.

"Are you okay living in the mountains?"

Lu Zhan smiled: "It's okay." You see I'm fine. ”

After speaking, Lu Zhan picked up the broom and began to clean.

It had been raining for a few days and the house was a little damp. Standing in the room, it was obvious that I could smell the dampness.

After sweeping the floor, he dragged the upstairs and downstairs of the house again, and then turned on the fire to boil the water.

Lu's mother bought meat and vegetables from the vegetable market and came back, "The prices of green vegetables and pork have all increased." I heard about the pig farm in the mountains, and the pigs were drowned. Many people went to the river to fish for corpses, but they didn't find a single corpse. Are you weird?"

"Did the people downstream take it away? ”

"No way. The downstream was even more affected, the houses collapsed, how could there be any bother to fish for a dead pork. Besides, so many pigs floated down the river, and you can't catch none of them. ”

Lu Zhan asked, "What did the meat seller say?"

Lu's mother said: "Now there is everything to say." Some people say that the owner of the pig farm sat on the ground and raised the price, but in fact only a few pigs were run, which was not as serious as the owner of the pig farm said. However, there are also people who have gone to the pig farm and seen that the pig pen is more than half empty, and at least two-thirds of the pigs are missing. ”

Lu Zhan asked casually, "How much has the pork risen?"

"A pound has risen by two dollars. ”

Lu Zhan nodded, for most people, two yuan per catty is a bit high.

Lu's mother said again: "Many restaurants are ready to increase prices. Pork has risen, vegetables have risen, and restaurants can't make money without raising prices. Lu Zhan, do you think we should raise the price? The pig's head meat, pig's tail, pig's trotters, and braised fat sausages, I think the price should be increased. ”

Lu Zhan shook his head, "The price we sell is already higher than that of others, and the price of a pound of meat rises by two yuan, so it doesn't have any effect, so we don't need to increase the price." ”

"Really not going to increase the price?"

Lu Zhan nodded, "It's still sold at the original price." ”

Mother Lu thought about it and nodded, "Just listen to you." ”

After cleaning up the house, Lu Zhan went to the milk tea shop next door for a while.

"How's business?"

Xu Yang shook his head, "It's not good." It rained the other day, and I couldn't sell it for fifty dollars a day. On the worst day, it was only sold for twenty dollars. "It's not enough for his rent, not to mention his salary and food.

Lu Zhan asked, "Now that the weather is clear, business is better." ”

"It's okay today. In the morning, several waves of people came, and ten cases of beer were carried. ”

Lu Zhan laughed, "It seems that your shop still has a future for selling water and wine." ”

Xu Yang smiled, "I called the wine wholesaler and delivered it in the afternoon. What about you, when will your lo-mei business open?"

Lu Zhan said: "Tomorrow." It's too late today. ”

Xu Yang put down his phone and said, "Tomorrow I will buy half a braised duck, two pig's trotters, and twenty yuan of vegetarian dishes." Remember to keep it for me. ”

"I'll tell Pei Huazhang in a moment and ask him to keep it for you. I'm not here tomorrow. ”

Xu Yang said, "It's too boring to live in the mountains, otherwise I will live in the mountains." ”

Lu Zhan laughed.

Xu Yang said suddenly: "It's been a little strange lately. ”

"What's weird?"

"Have you ever seen a rat make a nest at home and then suddenly disappear?"

Lu Zhan shook his head, not understanding what Xu Yang was going to say.

Xu Yang continued: "Over the trash can, when I came home from work, I saw several mouse corpses. As a result, by the time I came down ten minutes to throw out the garbage, the mouse corpse was gone. Even the trash cans seem to be empty. ”

"Did someone collect the garbage? ”

Xu Yang shook his head, "At that point in time, it is impossible for someone to collect garbage." ”

"The rat nest you just mentioned?"

Xu Yang smiled and said, "The house I rented has a rat nest. The mother rat has a dozen little rats, and I don't bother to care, so I just let them go. As a result, I didn't see a single one for the first two days. On weekdays, I come out for a walk twice. I rummaged through the house and saw only one empty rat nest. ”

The corners of Lu Zhan's mouth twitched.

Xu Yang is really weird, isn't it dirty to live with a litter of rats?

Xu Yang smiled and said seriously: "I like to be lively." ”

Lu Zhan was speechless.

"You said these rats, were they eaten by cats?"

Lu Zhan said: "My hackers have been on the mountain for the past two days. And my hackers only kill rats, not rats. ”

"I guess it was eaten by something else. ”
