"Hurry up, go inside and hide. "I took Lu Jia's hand and sent her back to the house, closing the door)

"What's wrong?"

I smiled at her outside the door: "I've caught something to eat, I'm afraid you'll be scared when you see it." ”

When I closed the door and looked back, I saw that there were rats under my feet. The rats were scurrying around the prefect's yamen as if they were enchanted. Slowly, more people poured in, and the rats were all crowded around one by one. In the back, the rats simply stepped on each other and built two or three layers.

I stood at the door of Lu Jia's room, blocking the rats and preventing them from gnawing on the door. But where can I take care of it, the feeling of the mouse climbing up the trouser tube is too scary. Holding back the nausea and fear, he grabbed the rats on his body and put them in the bag, but he was just able to dispose of the rats on his body.

I've been stuffed with four sacks, and there are still a lot of rats crawling up my legs. When you look around, you feel like you're being drowned in a sea of rats. The most fatal problem is not that there are too many rats to catch, but that the rats caught can bite through the bag and run out. When I saw the bag lying on the ground with a hole in it, and there were several holes in it, and the rats crawled out of the holes, I couldn't hold on anymore. This is a bit of a trouble, and it's all to blame for the dustless goods. I don't want to think about how to catch so many rats.

"Dustless !!," I shouted hoarsely into the sky, afraid that the mice would crawl in if my mouth was lowered, "where are you going?

In fact, not only me, but also those soldiers of the Southern Army in the prefect's yamen were also at a loss there. We all underestimate the number of rats, at least tens of thousands. A rush of brains is coming, even cockroaches are enough to kill people.

Just when I regretted taking Wuchen to tell Tie Xuan about this strategy to catch rats, the courtyard wall of the prefect's yamen lit up one by one.

The dust-free formation was finally activated, and those paper talismans all had white phosphorus on them, and they would spontaneously combust if they were given a little temperature. Dao talismans are actually burned to increase their power, and these Dao talismans are not half of the papyrus, but made of oilcloth, which can burn for a few minutes.

Could it be that these few minutes are enough? After the Dao Fu burned, the rats were not as active as before, as if they were blind, and they didn't dare to run around, but just spun around in place.

The hundreds of soldiers secretly dispatched by Luo Shicheng were busy catching mice at this time. I wanted to catch it, but the sacks I picked up were all broken, and there was nowhere to put them when I caught them.

By the light of the fire, I saw a lot of rats picking at the courtyard walls with their paws. The walls of the prefect's yamen are all made of stone, and the gaps between them are filled with white ash. Moreover, after the stones are polished, the joints are relatively tight, and the rats cannot get into it at all. And no matter how strong their claws are, they can't pick the stone apart.

"Dustless, quick, drive all the rats into the lotus pond. ”

There is a large lotus pond in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, which should be more than 2,000 square meters. The place where we live is a side backyard, next to the main backyard, and the whole yard is only 1,000 square meters. In the winter of Jinan City, the waters without springs are frozen, so the water in the lotus pond is released before it freezes. Originally, it was time to re-release the water at this time to let the lotus flowers grow. But when the war is chaotic, who still has the heart to serve those flowers.

This lotus pond is good, the lotus is kept in the water tank, the bottom of the pond and the side walls are made of stones, although there is no flat courtyard wall, but the gap is not for mice to pass through.

Wuchen listened to my words and woke up like a dream. Holding an iron sword and inserting a burning talisman, he drew a finger-deep groove in the ground. As he walked forward, the rats behind him followed him like a tide, and followed the trench to the main backyard.

The dust-free trench paddled all the way to the lotus pond, and the rats followed one after another to the lotus pond. Although the pool is not a foot deep, it is not much different. The rat jumped in, and it couldn't jump out.

After drawing four lines in four directions, most of the rats began to fall into the lotus pond along the trench. It didn't take long for the lotus pond to be densely packed with rats, and I didn't know that there were tens of thousands. In addition, those soldiers caught in the sacks, I am afraid there are more than 100,000.

How many rats are there in Jinan City? In the entire city of Jinan, from the common people to the soldiers, generals and officials, there are more than 100,000. Rats are extremely fecund, they will have a physiological reaction in ten or twenty days, and they can try to get pregnant and have children in three months, we have been fighting with them for thousands of years, and we can't eliminate them, so strong fecundity is absolutely the key.

Seeing that there are not many rats still bouncing outside, this thing cannot be killed, and everything must be left for leeway. It just so happened that the dust-free formation had also reached the time when the oil ran out and the lamps dried up, and those rats who were originally stunned began to refresh themselves. It may be that he knew that he could not find food, so he thought about escaping. The rats who were tricked into the lotus pond also lost control of the formation and began to jump out like crazy. But the rat's legs are so thin, and the bouncing power is really limited, and the wall of such a high pool can jump less than half the height before it falls.

However, there are soft mouse bodies below, and it doesn't hurt to fall, and everyone jumps out happily.

"Hahaha!" Wuchen stood on the edge of the pool with his waist crossed, looking triumphantly at the stupid jumping mice in the pool. I also got closer and looked inside, and then immediately stepped away.

Not only is it because there are too many stimuli in that scene, but also tens of thousands of rats together, and the smell emitted from their bodies is really unbearable for ordinary people.

Suddenly, a high-pitched, long cry interrupted the dustless laughter. Looking at the rats in the lotus pond again, they slowly quieted down when they heard the calls.

"What's going on?" I asked Wuchen from afar, he was the closest and probably knew what was going on.

As a result, Wuchen shook his head, still looking at the lotus pond in a daze.

When all the rats are quiet, a soft rustling sound can be heard throughout the lotus pond. Tens of thousands of rats said that if they didn't make trouble, they wouldn't make trouble, and when they stopped, they were even more infiltrating than when they were running around. Then there was another scream, like a mouse, but not like a rat on closer inspection.

I didn't care about the bad smell anymore, so I leaned over to the lotus pond and looked inside. The shadows of the torches in the distance were so dim that it was impossible to see what the rats were doing.

"Quick, torch!"

When I shouted, the soldiers with torches in the backyard gathered around, and it became clear what was going on in the pool.

"Damn, I'm actually riding a human ladder. Wuchen gasped, not only him, but everyone sank in their hearts.

To be exact, it should be a "rat ladder". Can you imagine so many rats pressing one by one, with their stomachs stuck to the wall of the pool, letting the rats behind them climb up?

How terrifying is a group of animals with intelligence?

"Quick, drive them down with fire!" Luo Shicheng, such a steady person, also changed his tone at this time.

The stunned soldiers began to use the torches in their hands to drive away the rats that were about to crawl out. This kind of scene is a bit like the Northern Army is attacking the city. It's just that they use a ladder, and the rats can only use their bodies to build a "rat ladder".

But the torches only temporarily dispersed the rats, not to stop them from going crazy. At this time, I was looking for the one who gave the order among the tens of thousands of mice. It's a little stronger than looking for a needle in a haystack, but it's definitely not much stronger. I didn't come up with a reason for it for a long time, because after the call just now, the rats were obediently working, and there was no need to bark anymore. Rats, they don't all look the same, how can you tell which one is the "rat king".

"Dustless, quick, use your talisman again!" I shouted anxiously, "let them mess up." ”

In fact, Wuchen has already started rummaging through the Dao Talisman in his backpack.

"Fortunately, I have prepared a little!" Wuchen started to run around the lotus pond while taking chances. The talismans in his hands were also pasted on the wall of the pool one by one.

"Can you hurry up!"

Seeing that he hadn't even posted a circle, many mice had already run out of the lotus pond.

As Wuchen chanted the words, the Dao talisman attached to the lotus pond also began to burn. The rats inside are messed up again. The "rat ladders" that had been erected also fell down one after another.

As expected, the terrible scream that had disappeared just now rang out again.

"That one, Luo Shicheng is fast, shoot it. "I can't do it myself, so I'm just directing blindly. Luo Shicheng also reacted quickly, he saw the mouse screaming with his head raised from afar, stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow from the soldier behind him, and pulled the bow and didn't aim at the full moon, and the arrow went out.

Looking at the pool again, the rat that was still barking just now was instantly nailed to the ground. The screaming also stopped abruptly. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I saw a vague ghost emerge from the body of the mouse that had been shot to death. In a flash, it burrowed into another mouse. Squeeze out the soul of that mouse.

The soul that had been squeezed out turned around the dead rat twice, and then slowly dispersed.

The soldiers were praising Luo Shicheng's good archery skills one moment, and the next moment they were interrupted by the sound of renewed screams.

"Shapeshifting?"
