Song Xiangu then said: "Rats like to act at night, you ask people to smoke during the day, they don't dare to act rashly." When all the rat holes in the town are smoked out, you have cat droppings, camphor bark, and bay leaves mixed together to seal the holes, so that the rats will never come near the holes again......"

"And then?" The old man asked again.

Song Xiangu only said two words, which made the old man shudder - "Buy snakes." ”

What to do with buying snakes, you don't have to think about it to know.

Snakes eat mice, Song Xiangu wants to block all the mice in the town in the hole and can't get out, and then put all the snakes in and have a good meal.

Song Xiangu's trick is really ruthless, and it can even be said to be a lack of morality.

But what can you do if you know that you lack morality? After all, it is a special period, and the people of the town are staring at that bit of food with wide eyes, how can they bear the anger of the food being spoiled by rats.

Sure enough, that afternoon, as soon as the old party released the plan to buy snakes and catch rats, the big guys were boiling, and they couldn't wait for all the snake dealers and game shops in the city to gather in the town, and sell all kinds of long worms to the town at a double price.

Of course, the people of our town can't miss such a big business opportunity, after all, if you don't make money, you will lose, who doesn't blush?

So there were brave people who went up and down the mountain in gangs to catch snakes and sell them to the town, so as to make a lot of money.

There were more and more snakes bought in the town, and they couldn't be put in other places, and they couldn't send them all to the mayor's house, so Sun Bald gave an idea, saying that the abandoned factory in the town had not been empty for several years, and it was simply stored there.

The town elder Fang immediately said yes, and only then did the residence where my sister and I settled down turn into a temporary requisition point with a mess.

My sister and I didn't sleep all night that day, the yard was full of long worms, and a basket of cat feces still stinks, who can sleep?

Of course, the people in the town are not idle, snake sellers, cat feces smashers, chopping firewood, busy work.

By noon the next day, the things in the factory were almost ready, and the town elder Fang, Song Xiangu, Sun Bald and others also arrived with a large group of helpers.

Song Xiangu asked people to set up an altar in the compound, put tributes and incense, looked at the sky and said, "The auspicious time is almost here, Mayor Fang, there is still something to trouble you......"

The old man hurriedly approached and said respectfully: "Old fairy, you said, you must do your best!" ”

Obviously, after the brainwashing of Song Xiangu and Sun Bald all night, the mayor of the old town has already been obedient to Song Xiangu.

I heard Song Xiangu say: "Mayor Fang, you are different from us ordinary people, you are the head of a town, and you are a nobleman!" Those rats have become a climate, and you need to borrow the righteousness of your nobles to write a letter of inquiry, so as to break the evil law of those rats......"

After listening to this, the old man responded: "This thing is easy to do, and I am the best at writing!" ”

After speaking, Lao Fang took the pen and paper handed by Song Xiangu, and wrote clearly in free and easy small letters: Respected leaders, colleagues......

Song Xiangu laughed angrily, and hurriedly stopped: "No, it's not for you to write a report...... You write about what crimes these rats have committed, how unconscionable they are, and why they must be punished......"

"Can you swear?" The old man asked.

Song Xiangu nodded helplessly: "You look at it, as long as the words are fierce enough and the content is true enough, it is nothing to add oil and vinegar." ”

"Then I'm too good at writing, don't worry!"

Lao Fang picked up his pen and finished writing a five- or six-thousand-word 'Essay on Asking Guilt' after a while.

Song Xiangu took it and took a look, the words were really fierce enough, full of swear words, so dirty that Song Xiangu was embarrassed to read it.

Anyway, the text is there, and the time is almost up, Song Xiangu gave an order, and a group of people immediately moved and lifted the things they needed and began to transport the things they needed.

In the afternoon, it seemed that the whole town was extremely busy, some wandering around the ground looking for rat holes, some carrying firewood, and some lighting fires.

After the rat holes were smoked, some people began to take the pounded cat feces, camphor bark and bay leaves to plug the rat holes.

By the time everyone was done, it was almost evening.

The old lady Song got up from the altar at this time, and after chattering and comparing in front of the altar for a while, she burned the inscription written by the town elder Fang with fire, and said: "Let go of the snake!" ”

Hundreds of snakes of all kinds were suddenly put into different rat holes all over the town at the same time.

That night, the screams of chirping, one after another, came from all over the town and were so miserable that people's scalps tingled to hear them, and they continued until the next morning, when they stopped.

It was also that night, at dawn, that I had a nightmare.

In the dream, the girl in the Lei Feng hat three years ago broke in and gave me a slap before scolding: "You are still not human? They are gracious to you, how can you harm them? ”

"They? Who are they? "I was stunned.

"Look back!"

The girl in the Lei Feng hat raised her hand and pointed behind my back, and I turned around in the direction and sighed in my heart.

Behind me, a large group of children with severed limbs and legs covered in blood were staring at me and crying blood, and I could hear my hair standing upside down.

I woke up suddenly, and when I sat up, I was drenched in cold sweat.

Before I could slow down, my sister's voice suddenly came from the side: "You also have nightmares?" ”

I looked at my sister, and in the dark, I saw that my sister's eyes were red and swollen, and it seemed that she had just cried.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" I asked hurriedly.

"I dreamed that someone was scolding me." My sister choked up.

"Scolding you? Who scolded you? ”

"A bunch of kids in paper clothes."

When my sister said this, I chuckled in my heart.

My sister said: "They scolded me for being bad, saying that in the past three years, they have seen our sisters and sisters pitiful, and they have saved us so much food to eat, but we will take revenge." ”

"What? Who helped us with food? ”

As soon as I asked, my sister replied in a panic: "The rats are the rats in our town, and every time we don't have enough food in the past three years, I go to dig rat holes to find food for mice." It turns out that the rats knew that they had deliberately filled the hole with food and waited for us to dig it......"

"Sister, don't think nonsense, it's just a dream......"

I hurriedly comforted my sister, who went and raised her right hand and opened her palm to show me.

"So, that's a dream too?"

I looked into her hand, and what she held in the palm of her hand was a yellow ear of wheat stained with blood......

"This is a child who gave it to me in a dream, and he begged me for help, begging me to go to the alley behind the granary to save them......"

"This ......"

I hesitated, now the whole town is killing the rats like big enemies, even if my sister's dream is really meaningful, what can we do if we two little people ask for food?

However, at this time, my sister resolutely got dressed, got up and walked out.

"I must figure this out!"
