12. Big pit

"Hey, there are really rats!" the uncle said immediately when he saw the rats come out, and the worry in his heart disappeared.

"It's good to have mice, it seems that you're right, little brother, there must be a small granary down here, the old man has a hunch that we will definitely get rich this time, hahaha"

The uncle waved the hoe in his hand as he spoke, and he did it more energetically, and after a while, the big pit that was originally more than one meter deep became more than two meters deep, and the uncle was trapped in it and could hardly see anyone.

Xu Tianqi felt a little wrong after seeing it, this pit is also too big, the rat hole dug last time was so deep that it has bottomed out, but this time the rat hole has not seen a grain of grain, it is a bit abnormal, no, it is very abnormal.

After a series of accidents yesterday, Xu Tianqi made the worst speculation about everything in the other world, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Uncle, wait, come up," Xu Tianqi said hurriedly.

"What's wrong with the little brother, I haven't dug up the grain yet," the uncle said suspiciously, but after seeing Xu Tianqi's solemn expression on his face, he still obeyed Xu Tianqi's words and crawled out of the pit.

"Uncle, I think this rat hole is a little wrong, it's too deep, I'm afraid it's dangerous," Xu Tianqi explained his concerns to the uncle.

"What danger can there be, it's just a group of rats, and it's hard to make it a monster."

The uncle smiled, he didn't believe Xu Tianqi's words, they were in the village, and they were not in the wild, there might be monsters in the wild, if there were monsters in the village, they would have been discovered a long time ago, and it was impossible to hide.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful, uncle, you go to the village and call a few more people over, and we'll see what the situation is here," Xu Tianqi ordered.

Uncle was a little unhappy after hearing this, if he called the people in the village to come over to help, he would have to share a little food for them, and more importantly, Xu Tianqi could find a mouse hole to dig food, and he would definitely not be able to keep it, and all the villagers would come to dig a mouse hole in the future, what should he do, and finally find a way to get food to feed their grandfather and grandson, he didn't want to lose it like this.

Seeing the uncle's hesitant appearance, Xu Tianqi thought about it, and knew the reason, and couldn't help laughing

"Uncle, don't worry, it's not so easy to find a mouse hole, the villagers in the village definitely have no way to find the mouse hole, even if they find the hole, they have no way to distinguish it, maybe the time comes to dig a snake hole and a worm hole or something, and they won't dig it again after a few times."

Joke, is the rat hole so easy to find, if this is the case, wouldn't the rats be all extinct, even if Xu Tianqi didn't have the ability to get the rat sense of smell by chance, he wouldn't be able to distinguish the rat hole, let alone find food in the rat hole.

Most people have heard the term "three holes of cunning rabbits", which means that cunning rabbits will have at least three or more caves as hiding places, and ordinary rats are more alert than rabbits, they will create several exits in the mouse holes, some of which are very narrow and long, if you dig holes behind the mice, you may not be able to find each other for the rest of your life, so Xu Tianqi is not worried that those villagers will dig mouse holes to get food like him.

"Moreover, uncle, don't you think that the work efficiency of the two of us is too slow, at most four or five caves are dug in a day, but if we can hire a few villagers, then we can dig more than a dozen caves a day, even if we give the villagers some compensation, we will earn it, right?" Xu Tianqi said with a smile.

The uncle tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out a few fingers and kept fiddling there, and finally said after a long time

"Little brother, you're right, you must have been a young master from a rich family before, you are just knowledgeable, I'm going to call someone"

After speaking, he ran towards the village happily, and looked at Xu Tianqi's head full of black lines.

This uncle is really a fan of money, Xu Tianqi thought to himself.

But he didn't know that this was a common trait that all the low-level people in this world had, this was not his last world where science and technology were prosperous, there were countless foods to enjoy, and there were endless luxury clothes to wear, and every year in this world there would be a percent of people dying of hunger, and sometimes it was not uncommon for them to eat because of their children, so everyone cherished food very much, and there were not a few people like Uncle Liu.

Seeing the uncle go away, Xu Tianqi stared at the rat hole under the pit and thought deeply, and asked the uncle to call people not on a whim, but because he really asked about the unusual taste in this rat hole.

Xu Tianqi didn't carefully distinguish between the mouse holes when he was looking for them, he kept in mind as long as there was a mouse smell and a food smell, and he really didn't find anything wrong when the uncle dug this mouse hole.

That is, the smell of rats in this rat hole is too much, he remembers that the rat hole last time was only seven or eight mice, and there are dozens or hundreds of rat smells mixed together in this cave in front of him, and the smell is very eye-catching.

Rats and people also have a family concept, only a family of rats can gather in one place, sometimes the little rats will leave the big rats to go out to find their own way when they reach a certain age, not a family of rats is absolutely not able to live in a cave.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the rats have divided into class hierarchies, that is, the commonly known rat king has appeared, and the rat king can call on all the rats to obey his orders, so that the rat king can gather all the rats together, so that the different smells in the cave can be explained.

"Probably not, this is not the rat king from the barren mountains and Daze, and the previous rat demon doesn't seem to have become the rat king, this kind of ordinary rat should be even more impossible" Xu Tianqi didn't believe his speculation in his heart.

Wang~Wang~

At this moment, the barking of several puppies suddenly attracted Xu Tianqi's attention.

I saw one of the black spotted puppies suddenly sniffed their noses, and then ran to a bush dozens of meters away, and after a while, a big mouse came out of the grass, and the mouse kept struggling and squeaking in the mouth of the cub, but it was bitten to death by the black spot after a while.

When the other two puppies saw this, they hurriedly rushed over and wanted to snatch the dog's mouth, and immediately made a ball and bitten their mouths full of hair.

Xu Tianqi guessed that there should be another rat hole in the grass, and it seemed that the rats inside knew that someone was digging their burrows outside, so they sent two rats out to find out about the enemy, and if it was safe, the other rats could safely evacuate from there.

Xu Tianqi blocked the rat hole in the big pit with a hoe, walked to the side of the puppies who were in a mess, fished out the two arms together, grabbed the two puppies in his hands, and the two puppies were pinched by Xu Tianqi's neck, and they were immediately honest, and their little eyes looked pitifully at Xu Tianqi and didn't dare to move.

"You stay here and don't move, if a mouse comes out of the hole, you bite it, do you understand" Xu Tianqi said to the remaining puppy, regardless of whether it understood or not.

The cub was frightened by Xu Tianqi's movements, and didn't dare to move when he saw his little friend being captured, his little tail shrunk between his legs, standing in place and looking at Xu Tianqi with a confused expression.

Seeing the other party's obedient expression, Xu Tianqi nodded, and then put the two puppies in his hand next to the other two caves and told them to guard the caves and not let the enemy go.

In the end, Xu Tianqi found a small cave by himself, picked up the big spatula in his hand and held it in a position of playing baseball, as soon as the mouse appeared, he was ready to give the opponent a home run.
