Chapter 22 The villagers ask to go and exterminate the rats
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the cherry orchard was more lively than usual.
Ye Tiezhu took a hoe to dig a pit.
Seven or eight villagers gathered around the pile of rat carcasses under the tree.
They were just passing by the orchard and saying hello, but they were frightened by this horrific scene.
Nearly a hundred rats were piled together.
There was no such scene in the village before.
"Iron Pillar, what kind of rat poison do you use, so powerful."
"Tell me where I bought it, I'll get some too, the rats are too rampant at home, and the cats can't handle it."
"Yes, yes, there are rats in the vegetable patch, and there are rat nests everywhere."
The villagers asked eagerly.
Rats have plagued houses and vegetable patches for a long time, and there is no cure.
There are not many cats in the village.
The effect of the poisonous rat king bought is useless, after poisoning a few of them, the other rats are not fooled.
Why did the iron pillar family orchard, how did the rats die a large piece?
"I didn't use any medicine, these were all bitten to death by Wangcai and Xiaobai."
Ye Tiezhu replied, dug the pit and threw the corpses into the pit one by one.
"Wangcai is so powerful? Gee. ”
"Which dog is Xiaobai? I haven't seen it. ”
The villagers were surprised, knowing that Wangcai was a virtuous herd, and he was so good at catching mice?
"Xiaobai...... It's it. My son met in the orchard the other day. ”
Ye Tiezhu pointed to the cute ferret on the tree that had never been discovered by everyone.
Xiaobai is holding a cherry and nibbling on it.
"This is a mink?"
"The mink will also help you catch mice?"
The villagers were increasingly shocked.
"Hahaha, right. Otherwise, how could it have eaten cherries so casually. ”
Ye Tiezhu spent most of his time in the orchard today.
Witness a mink and a dog cooperating with each other, finding out the rat nests in various orchards and killing them one by one.
Wangcai came out of the grass, took a mouse carcass in his mouth, and placed it on the pile of corpses.
Then squat down and sit aside.
It didn't find any live rats yet.
"Tiezhu, can you let Wangcai go to my house for two days?"
"Yes, yes, lend me two days."
“……”
Suddenly, three or four villagers who had a headache with rats raised their hands one after another.
Wangcai is much more powerful than the old cats in the village.
"It's not a big problem, but I want to talk to Xiao Fan, so let's do it, I'll let Xiao Fan take Wangcai to you when I have time. ”
"That's fine."
……
Evening.
Ye Xiaofan came back with some daily necessities.
Wangcai ran out to greet him, wagged his tail happily, and pounced.
Xiaobai squatted on the wall.
"Okay, okay, I know you're working hard today."
The spiritual consciousness has analyzed the meaning of the howl of prosperity.
Ye Xiaofan returned to the house with milk, beef and other things.
In the kitchen, Jiang He poked his head out, "Back?" Wangcai performed very well today, and all the mice in the orchard were caught by him and Xiaobai. ”
"Oh, got it."
Ye Xiaofan fumbled in the beef bag and threw out a large braised beef bone with meat on it for Wangcai.
Wangcai jumped up and grabbed it, grabbed it to the corner of the wall, and gnawed it contentedly.
Looks very fond of eating.
"Xiaobai, do you want it?" There are actually two beef bones in the bag.
It's just that Xiaobai sniffed it closely, licked it, and was not interested.
"Well, then leave it all to Wangcai."
Ye Xiaofan handed over the rest of the things to his mother.
Ye Tiezhu came back with a hoe and talked about the requests of several villagers.
Let Wangcai help catch mice.
"The cats in the village are too old to catch mice."
"A few young pet cats, let alone catching mice, are scared when they see mice."
Ye Tiezhu chuckled and said the reason.
"Oh, no problem."
Ye Xiaofan sat on the side, watching Wangcai gnaw on the bones with relish.
This little guy doesn't look like he's only a month old, his teeth are sharp, and his bones are very neat.
"Wang?"
Do you want to eat it too?
Wangcai hesitantly put down the bones, that makes you eat well.
“……”
"Iron pillar, is Iron Pillar at home?"
Outside the hospital, an old voice was heard.
The white-haired old man in some ragged clothes walked in.
"Uncle Chen?"
Ye Tiezhu was a little surprised.
Uncle Chen usually makes a living by raising chickens, selling chicken seedlings and eggs.
Occasionally, I would send some eggs to Ye Tiezhu's family.
"Grandpa Chen." Ye Xiaofan said hello.
Uncle Chen glanced around, and suddenly smiled.
"It's good that you're all here."
"Oh, is there something going on?"
"I heard Xiao Li say that your family will catch mice."
He said this.
Father and son immediately understood.
"Do you know how to catch mice, and you want to catch rats too?" Ye Tiezhu smiled.
"That's great. You have to help me, this week, more than 20 of my chickens have been bitten to death by mice, and the egg hatching equipment has been bitten and damaged. ”
Uncle Chen hurriedly said what he meant, his face full of sadness.
In his early years, he was an employee of a chicken farm, and when he was fired, he made his own chicken pen and counted on it to make a living.
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears.
"It can't be a weasel, right, a mouse will bite a chick?" Ye Xiaofan felt incredible.
"It's a mouse, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's not afraid of people at all. Don't underestimate the cruelty of this kind of thing, a few years ago, there was a baby in the next village who was bitten by rats, and his family has now spent more than 100,000 yuan on plastic surgery, but it has not been cured......"
Uncle Chen immediately emphasized the cruelty of mice.
Ye Tiezhu nodded, "This thing is too harmful, what is there to eat." ”
"Well, I've tried everything. There was really no way, the old fat cat from Zhou's butcher's house borrowed it, and he didn't work because he just ate it. I haven't killed a rat for more than a week. ”
Uncle Chen scolded again, his eyes were full of tears.
It's a little useful, and the chicks won't die so much.
"Good. Xiaofan, you can take Wangcai over to have a look now. ”
Ye Tiezhu hurriedly made his eyes.
Uncle Chen lives alone, lonely, and occasionally gives them eggs.
Ye Xiaofan nodded, "Wangcai, gnaw the bones later, and work first." ”
Wangcai puts the bones in the cardboard box kennel.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry......
"It's okay, it's still early anyway, the rice is not cooked, try to get it done in half an hour." Ye Xiaofan said with a smile.
"Half an hour?" Uncle Chen was incredulous, "Impossible, right?" ”
"Hey, hey. Xiaobai, you also come over to help. ”
Ye Xiaofan waved at the ferret on the beam again.
"Ah, you still have mink?"
Uncle Chen faintly felt that things were in order, and went out with him.
Soon after, Ye Xiaofan came to an old house with a greenhouse on the western edge of the village.
The air was faintly filled with the smell of chicken manure.
"Xiaofan, please come in. I'll make you a cup of tea. ”
Uncle Chen opened the door and invited him into the house.
"That's not necessary, settle it early, let's come back for tea another day."
Ye Xiaofan looked around at the humble house.
The house is surrounded by walls, red bricks and wood composite structure, and the air is also filled with a foul smell.
Ye Xiaofan's spiritual sense spread.
Within twenty meters, even the slightest vitality could not escape his perception.
Wangcai is sniffing around.
Xiaobai followed Ye Xiaofan honestly, walked around the house, and entered the small and dull chicken shed.
Rows of chicken coops, hundreds of old hens, old roosters and a group of chicks in another circle, two incubators are placed in the corners.
On the table next to him, there was a fat orange cat.
It lazily opened its eyes for a moment, then closed them again.
is not afraid of prosperity, nor is he too lazy to take care of Ye Xiaofan.
