Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wexford

Woo~~~

Woo~~~

With the sound of rattling, the steam train from the direction of New Ross City stopped in front of Wexford Station.

Located just 113 kilometres from Dublin, this seaside city surpasses New Ross City in terms of population and town size, and even the more remote fringes of the city are paved with stone bricks.

Unlike the rapidly industrialized New Ross City, Wexford still retained its original posture during the Industrial Revolution, mostly some ancient buildings left over from the Middle Ages, and the pace of life was slow, and the whole city was permeated with a quiet and serene atmosphere.

Yunia, who left New Ross City for the first time, looked left and right, curiously observing this strange city, and was excited.

Mavi, who was not familiar with the terrain here, bought a map at the exit of the station and looked for the street where the invitees lived.

Time is limited, and if they want to complete all the commissions in one day, they must plan the route in advance, and they cannot run from east to west and back to east from west to east.... It's a waste of time.

"Hmm... Mike Street is in the center of the city, far from the station, we can solve the commission near the station first, and then go to Mrs. Burnley and Mr. Sean in the center of the city. ”

After agreeing on the plan, Ma Wei and the others immediately took action, and with the cat people team, they first came to Mr. Ante's house, who lived in the apartment at the back of the station.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ante, who sent the letter, was not at home, and his wife was a little surprised to see Mavi.

"We just tried it, but I didn't expect you guys to really come, and they came so quickly!"

In the living room, Mrs. Ante warmly invited Ma Wei and a few people to sit down, bringing black tea and hard biscuits: "Actually, I and Sheldon have no hope, there is no free lunch in the world, and even if there is, it often needs to pay more price, but the rats at home are getting more and more annoying, and we can't stand them anymore!" ”

Mouse... Can it get more and more annoying?

Mavi couldn't quite understand what Mrs. Ante meant, and in his opinion, rats and other things had always been annoying, day and night.

"Who doesn't have a few mice?" Mrs. Ante sat down on the sofa with the wooden tray in her arms, and sighed: "I know this is a normal thing, but since a few days, they seem to have suddenly become much more irritable, always jumping up and down, knocking over the tin box on the cabinet, and gnawing in the middle of the night... It makes the chickens and dogs restless. ”

Hearing this, Ma Wei frowned, and his expression became much more serious: "Are those rats biting?" ”

"Don't bite." Mrs. Ante said, "Though they are very hot-tempered, and not like they used to be, they are still very afraid, and run away when they see me." ”

Rats in Wexford City...

How is it different from the rats in New Ross City?

The rats of New Ross bite people when they see them, and they carry a curse of sin, so it stands to reason that if the rats in Wexford City are also cursed, then they should become extremely aggressive...

The opposite is true.

As Mavi pondered, the sound of the roof sounded on the roof, and the squeaks of rats, which seemed to be running between the cracks in the roof, or maybe they were fighting...

Of course, you can't get the right answer just by asking, but as long as you catch a few mice, won't everything be revealed?

"Mrs. Ante, during our work, we use some toxic chemicals, so please move outside the house and sit in a nearby café for a while, and we will clean up the residual medicine after the work is done to ensure the health of you and your husband."

After a pause, Ma Wei added, "If you don't feel comfortable with us, you can also choose to wait downstairs or outside the door. ”

"I'll go downstairs so as not to disturb you."

Before leaving the house, Mrs. Ante went upstairs, took a few gold pounds from the gap under the mattress, carefully put them in her pocket, and then went down the stairs.

In this regard...

Mavi and Levine looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and said nothing.

It is normal for strangers to suddenly come to the house and ask the owner to leave during work, and everyone will be suspicious and suspicious of the other person's purpose.

Who but a fool would dig out his heart and lungs for a stranger?

Trust is built little by little.

After Mrs. Ante left, Mavi closed the doors and windows and patted his face: "Everyone, let's get started." ”

With Levin's help, the middle-aged man with a terrifying scar on his face gradually shrunk and turned into a cat with a scar on his face, and several other cat people also returned to their original appearance.

"Meow! Meow meow! ”

Xiao Hei raised his paws, and with an order, Ah Hua, Scarface, Big Spot, Xiao Mei, and Friday's cats rushed out, relying on their rich experience and innate talent, to launch a hunt against the rats in the apartment.

"Meow!"

"Squeak!"

In the cabinet, one by one the mice were forced out of the gap, fled in a hurry, although the speed was very fast, but it was not the opponent of Ah Hua at all, after all, Ah Hua several cats were wandering on the street, whether it was reaction speed or rat catching methods, they were much more powerful than domestic cats.

The only thing that makes people frown....

It's Friday.

Pampered, it has been pampered by Levine since childhood, let alone catching mice, and it is difficult to go up the tree.

In less than 10 minutes, it let three or four rats escape from its claws, and looking at his clumsy performance, Levin's face was a little unbearable, and finally he simply took out an iron rod with a hook from the bag and joined the melee.

With the help of its owner, Friday finally caught a mouse, and he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around triumphantly, intending to show Mei his 'talent' in hunting.

It wasn't until it saw the pile of little mice under Xiaomei's feet that it lowered its head in frustration and couldn't get up proud.

Some of the mice hidden in the hole in the wall, Ah Hua they can't catch them, obviously can't wait for the rabbits, but fortunately Levin has a hooked iron rod, poked into the hole like whipping cream, and the mice are forced to rush out, one by one under the claws of the cats.

After nearly half an hour of confusion, the room was finally quiet, and the rats were piled up in the center of the living room, there were more than twenty of them, and there were no more annoying squeaks.

"Master, Scarface was accidentally bitten."

Xiao Hei, who was in charge of supervising the battle and cleaning up the mess, ran back and said.

"Bitten?"

Ma Wei, who knew that the curse was powerful, quickly picked up Scarface, and after seeing a small bleeding wound on its arm, he asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Meow..."

"Scarface says it's a little dizzy, it's fine." Xiao Hei translated.

Just in case, Mavi asked Yunia to take a glass of water, and after exerting the power of the gift in the water, she gave Scarface a few sips.

Soon, Scarface returned to normal, and he still walked with a slight limp.

"Boss, come and see!"

Squatting in front of the pile of dead rats, Levin, armed with a dagger, exclaimed, "These rats are weird! ”

"What's weird?"

"When I cut their skin, there was a black gas coming out, very little, only a little."
