No one expected Xia Rumei to shout hysterically. The three of us were stunned on the spot, and Lu Jia and Lu Yuxiu were so frightened that they jumped up.

It seems that Xia Rumei is not stupid.

When we were all in our posture and standing there looking at her, she said something that puzzled me: "I won't go home with you." ”

It's a bit like she eloped with Bai Qi.

"What kind of medicine did this guy give you?" I was a little angry, wasn't this kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, "Or are you addicted to eating rat meat?"

"I'll die when I go back. ”

"Is it starvation?" I was a little embarrassed by her, and I couldn't be angry with such a person, "I can give you horse meat to eat, it may not be as tender as rat meat, but at least it is not disgusting." ”

Xia Rumei shook her head, "Anyway, I won't go back." ”

Yes, it seems that there is no answer from her mouth, so I can only ask Bai Qi.

"Go back, go back, hide in the prefect's yamen. Bai Qi ignored my inquiring eyes, and said to Xia Rumei, "There are more people there, and it's safer." ”

It must be Dusk Wen, is he going to kill his wife? Since today during the day, he deliberately went to the prefect's yamen to find Xia Rumei, and helped Gu Liu to make a move to divert the tiger from the mountain, and there was also an analysis that he might have used Taoist techniques to detain the souls of the soldiers of the Southern Army, and my impression of this hypocrite was even worse.

"If you don't go back, you won't go back. All I can say is, "It's safer to stay with Bai Qi." When it gets night, we will go back to the prefect's yamen, so that Tie Xuan can't see it. ”

After the decision was made, everyone began to wait for dark, and I was thinking about why Xia Rumei died and refused to go home. At this time, I also felt that one or two meals of rat meat would not make a hungry person so depressed. In modern love theory, this can only happen if you are hurt by someone who loves you deeply.

"Brother Bai, how did you let the rat go against yin and yang and run into this house to eat that corpse?"

The fight is fast, the reconciliation is also fast, and Wuchen has already begun to call Bai Qi "White Brother" at this time. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a tech nerd. If you don't understand it, you have to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Bai Qi was originally skinning a mouse, but when he heard Wuchen ask him, he stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at him. Although I couldn't see his expression, I knew he was too lazy to pay attention to the dust. However, he did not achieve ruthlessness and righteousness, after all, people called him "Brother Bai".

Although he didn't speak, Bai Qi still took a small porcelain bottle out of his arms and threw it to Wuchen.

The dust-free porcelain vase, the cork was opened, and a foul smell soon spread through the room.

"Something, cover me quickly!" The disgusting smell is really not tolerable for ordinary people.

"This is the musk of the muskrat. Wuchen plugged the plug and said to Bai Qi.

"You idiot. I covered my nose and scolded him, "Musk musk, isn't it fragrant, how can it be stinky." ”

"Brother Mu, you don't know anything about this," Wuchen began to popularize science again, "The musk of this muskrat is so strong that just a little bit can fill the whole room with fragrance." But such a bottle of musk is so strong that it smells bad. ”

"Does this thing attract mice?" I also know that the smell and smell are actually a molecule called "indole", and a small amount of it smells like a fragrance, and if it is strong, it smells foul.

"This musk can drive rats crazy. ”

That's what happened. I'm not interested in how Bai Qi catches mice. It's not yet to the point where you have to catch rats to get by.

"What are you talking about, this is a mansion?"

"Actually, it's also Brother Bai's means to prevent others from getting close here. Wuchen likes the sense of accomplishment of solving other people's doubts, "Brother Bai himself is extremely evil, as long as he releases his soul, he can turn this mansion into a yin mansion." You could see at a glance that it was him, because his soul was not attached to the corpse. ”

As he spoke, Bai Qi had already dealt with four mice. In one corner of the house there was a simple stove, which was actually a brazier, and a shelf was propped up on top of it with a stick, and a small pot rested on the shelf.

"You better roast it and eat it, the stew will disgust people to death. "I saw that Bai Qi got some water and poured it into the pot, as if it was going to stew rat meat.

Bai Qi ignored me, and still threw the four mice that had been processed into the pot at once. Add charcoal to the fire below, and when the water in the pot boils, take the pot off the shelf. It's cool to be unconscious, and it's also very calm to take a red-hot iron pot, but the smell of a charred corpse is unpleasant. I quickly got up and opened the doors and windows to let the smell out.

"Don't, Brother Mu, if the smell wafts out, it will attract people. Wuchen said that he was about to close the doors and windows again.

"It doesn't matter, I won't be here for long anyway. "It's rare for Bai Qi to say a second word for me.

He skewered the rats that had rolled in the water on bamboo skewers and roasted them on top of the coals. The bamboo stick was the short arrow he had used to shoot the rat just now. I picked up a useless stick, played with it in my hand, and threw it out, and the bamboo stick hit the wall horizontally and fell off.

"This has to be practiced, and strength is very important. Wuchen said.

"Shut up, no one treats you like a dumb person!"

Although I scolded Wuchen on my lips, I was like a mirror in my heart, if I want to survive in this era of war, it is not enough to rely on the separation of soul and body. Just picking up a piece of paper made me a waste. By the way, I still have that piece of paper, and I'll go back and let Wuchen study it for me. I can't let anyone grab my handle casually.

When the rat meat is grilled, the whole room begins to fill with aroma. For the first time, the room was filled with scent. I think I was very hungry, and I always felt that the taste of this rat meat was better than that of any animal in the world.

Wuchen took a mouse and ate it first, he may have eaten it before, this kid is also a bitter life. Xia Rumei also took a mouse and put it to her mouth to gently cool it. There are two left, and we still have three people, so we don't need to eat for nothing.

"Give them both. "It's not that I don't have any high-spirited festivals, I really don't want to eat.

As a result, Lu Jia and Lu Yuxiu both shook their heads like rattles, and even I didn't want to eat, how could they eat.

"Eat, don't think they're rats. ”

"Why don't you want to, isn't that what a skinned mouse looks like? Lu Jia pointed to the mouse that was handed over.

"Eat it if you want to, horse meat is not as meaty as this. ”

In fact, when I was a soldier, I also ate rat meat, and it was not as delicious as the roasted meat in vain. Under my coercion and temptation, Lu Yuxiu still took a mouse and bit it with his eyes closed. It should not be as unpalatable as she imagined, and it didn't take long for her to start gobbling it up regardless of her image.

"Let's eat?" I deliberately let Lu Jia see Lu Yuxiu's eating appearance, so that she could eliminate her psychological barriers.

I didn't expect Lu Jia to eat it, and I had no choice but to stare at the roasted rat by myself.

"If there are 18 million rats in this Jinan city, if they are all caught, they can be eaten in the whole city for many days. Looking at the mouse, I hurriedly began to talk to myself. Although a mouse eats its stomach, it will not solve any problem at all. But in such extraordinary times, it is also possible for a person to ration one mouse a day. Soldiers, two at most.

"There are countless rats in Jinan City, and if all the food stolen by the rats is found, it is estimated that it will be enough for the people of Jinan City to eat for half a year. Bai Qi said as he cleaned up the rats and went into the water.

"Grain ......," I suddenly thought, "Miss Lu, could your granary in Jinan City be removed by rats?"

"How could such a big granary be moved?" Lu Jia still thinks of ordinary people, thinking that the mouse is too small, how much grain can be moved, even if it fills all its holes, it is only a drop in the bucket.

"If it's not one mouse, it's not dozens, hundreds, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?" I explained to her as I imagined that so many rats were clustered around and dug into the Lu family's granary, and maybe the entire granary would be moved by rats overnight.

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

"How can there be so many rats gathered in one place?"

Also, although rats live in groups, it is a bit unrealistic to gather hundreds of thousands of them.

"If you like Brother Bai and put a bait to lure them, then it's possible. Wuchen swallowed the last piece of meat, smoothed his esophagus, and said, "And there is only that place left in the entire Jinan City where there is food, and if the rats don't go there to steal it, where else can they go." ”

"Are you saying that someone deliberately let the rats steal the grain in the Lu family's granary?"

"I didn't say anything. ”

"Almost, it's time to go. ”

Seeing that the three of them had eaten enough, they stood up and prepared to go back to the prefect's yamen.
