11. Dog cubs
When I returned to the uncle's house, an hour had passed, and the sky was already bright, and the specific time was about seven or eight o'clock in the morning on earth.
"Uncle, hasn't Xiaocui gotten up yet?" Xu Tianqi broke the dullness after taking a sip of water.
The old man is still haunted by what happened last night, and when he sees himself, he pretends that he didn't see it, and he thinks he's a transparent person if he doesn't know.
"You think it's like you're full and have nothing to do, so you go out early in the morning to hang out, Xiao Cui'er has already gotten up and gone to Aunt Wang's house to learn the craft."
The uncle snorted dissatisfiedly, and added another sentence at the end
"There is still vegetable porridge in the pot, if you want to eat it, you can serve it yourself"
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Xu Tianqi walked to the side of the black pot, and saw that there was still half a pot of vegetable porridge Xu Tianqi smiled in his heart, this uncle is really a knife mouth tofu heart, otherwise there would not be so much food left for himself.
Quickly solved the food, Xu Tianqi got up and said, "I picked up some wild fruits and came back, go back to Uncle you give it to Xiaocui, I'll go out and see if I can find some more mouse holes."
After speaking, Xu Tianqi took out two handfuls of berries from his clothes, these berries were found when he went out just now, with the sense of smell of the rat demon, as long as it was within five kilometers of him, he could smell it, and it was naturally trivial to find these berries.
After being silent for a while, the uncle took the berries, his face finally became better-looking, and said, "You have a heart" After speaking, he carefully put away the berries.
This world is not like the earth in the previous life, there are all kinds of snacks, it is already very good to be able to eat a full meal, so children have no other snacks to eat, these berries found by Xu Tianqi are the best snacks in the eyes of those children, and they can usually eat one or two to be happy for a day or two, not to mention that Xu Tianqi finds so many at once, the uncle will naturally not show his face again.
Xu Tianqi smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that the uncle's weakness was Xiao Cui'er, and sure enough, he quietly showed it to resolve the uncle's resentment, and he didn't lose himself for running for a long time.
Out of the door, Xu Tianqi wandered outside the village, sniffing around with his nose around him, and after a while, he locked four or five caves.
"There are so many rat holes, this is to become a plague of rats, there will be no rats," Xu Tianqi thought to himself.
In the previous life, there was a male and a female mouse on the earth, three hundred and five a year, which means that one male and one female two mice can produce more than 300 offspring a year, and the little mice can give birth in about a month, and these little mice can produce tens of thousands of them that year, you can imagine how terrible the fecundity of the mice is.
And yesterday's experience told Xu Tianqi that these rats from another world are not afraid of people at all, and may even eat people, which makes him have a very bad premonition, if he can't prevent these rats from breeding, then the rat plague he said is really likely to happen.
After remembering the location of a few mouse holes in his heart, Xu Tianqi hurriedly rushed back to his uncle's residence.
"Uncle, I've found a place, let's go over together, if it goes well, we can get a lot of food today" Xu Tianqi shouted to the uncle.
"Really, then let's go quickly" The uncle's face was full of excitement, and he took Xu Tianqi's hand and ran outside, not at all able to see that he was still angry just now, which shows how important food is in the hearts of the elderly.
Xu Tianqi was speechlessly dragged by the uncle and ran behind him, and secretly commented on the uncle in his heart - an alternative old man who is obsessed with money.
"Wait, uncle, we still have to make some preparations, otherwise the rats will come out and bite like yesterday!" Xu Tianqi hurriedly said.
"What then?" asked the uncle, anxiously.
"If there is a cat in the village, let's borrow a few, and if there are cats and mice, we shouldn't dare to come out," Xu Tianqi said.
"There are really no cats in the village, but there are a few hunting dogs, you see if it's okay," the uncle said after thinking for a few seconds.
Xu Tianqi was stunned for a while, you are really my uncle! This is the legendary dog meddling with rats, the hunting dogs are all up, is this really appropriate?
"Or... Try it...?" Xu Tianqi hesitated for a long time, and then replied uncertainly, it was very painful.
"Okay, you wait for me to come soon," the uncle said and ran towards the village, and after a while he heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and then saw three flowery dogs galloping after the uncle.
"This is the hound, uncle, you said?" Xu Tianqi saw that the puppy behind the uncle that had not reached his knees almost collapsed, where is this hound, it is a little puppy that has not grown up at all, okay, the rat demons I met last time were all bigger than them!
"It's okay, puppies are also dogs, and several of their hunting dogs have been taken to the market town, and there are only three puppies left in the house, so they can barely make do with it," the uncle said with relief.
Rolling his eyes, Xu Tianqi almost knelt down and sang conquest, and secretly took out the big spatula hidden behind him, which can be regarded as a weapon.
The three puppies kept swaying around Xu Tianqi, and from time to time they came over to tear his trouser legs, which almost made him can't help but shoot down with a spatula to end their sad life.
"Go away, go away" Xu Tianqi waved his hand to drive a few little guys away, walked to the bottom of a big tree not far from the village, and pointed to the tree hole underground
"Right here, this tree hole is where the rats hide"
This is a big tree that is some years old, but it seems to be dead, there is not a single leaf on the tree, Xu Tianqi estimates that it is because the rats have bitten off the roots of the tree, so such a big tree will die for no reason.
"Okay, little brother, you stand by and watch me" The uncle spat and rubbed his hands, picked up the hoe and made a hole in the tree, and after a while, he dug a big hole more than half a meter deep.
After more than ten minutes, the rat hole had been dug to a depth of more than one meter, but no trace of grain had been found, which made the uncle a little puzzled
"Little brother, is this really a rat hole? Why did you dig so deep and haven't seen any food, it can't be a snake hole?" said the uncle, his expression was a little scared.
Xu Tianqi was also a little puzzled, the breath coming from the cave was indeed the smell of rats, there was no other smell, according to the smell, there should be a lot of rats here, there should be a big granary inside, it couldn't be a snake cave.
"Keep digging," Xu Tianqi affirmed.
Seeing that Xu Tianqi was so sure, the uncle also put away the messy thoughts, don't look at Xu Tianqi's age, but the contact in the past few days has given the uncle an unfathomable feeling, one person can solve the frightening demon beast, and he can also find the food in the mouse hole, all kinds of circumstances to make the uncle unconsciously convinced Xu Tianqi.
Chirping~
Just as the uncle swung two more hoes, a rat with a big fist suddenly came out of the pit, glanced around, and ran into the distance.
The three puppies who were originally playing on the side rushed up as if they had seen bones, and one of them, a slightly larger yellow-haired flower dog, was a little faster, pounced on the mouse's body, and the mouse screamed and was swallowed by the yellow-haired puppy in a few bites.
The other two puppies took a step slower, and could only bark twice dissatisfied, and then licked the blood of the stump that fell on the ground, Xu Tianqi was speechless for a while, the dog can take the special code of the mouse!
