Chapter 16: Fatal Attraction
The township test that will be taken in April will be released in the next few days.
Hua Shi sat at the table, holding a book of poems in his hand, and asked with some uncertainty, "Dad, you mean, you want to go out and take a look at the list in the past two days?" Let me hide it from my grandma and not let her know? ”
Father Hua nodded nod, looking uneasy, and the hand on his knee scratched the white-washed sleeve crumpled.
Hua Shi saw his uneasiness and entanglement, and deliberately asked, "Why?" Didn't you say that there was a good chance that you would win this time? ”
Obviously, Hua's father is the only son of the Li family, but the Li family doesn't seem to favor him, in addition to being willing to pay for him to study, he treats him very harshly in terms of food and clothing.
It's like...... Li just used him as a tool to gain fame......
At present, in her opinion, the entire Hua family is very weird.
Father Hua was very afraid of the Li family, and he listened to the Li family very much, and the Li family asked him to go east, and he definitely did not dare to disobey.
is obviously the father of five children, but he doesn't look like a father at all, the four children are not well fed and clothed, hungry and skinny, bitter, he should not have seen it, he only has sage books in his heart.
It's weird.
Father Hua listened to Hua Shi's words, pursed his lips, and stopped talking, "What if you don't get hit...... You her ......."
Hua Shi saw his entanglement and worry, and knew what he was afraid of.
Li attaches great importance to whether Hua's father can pass the test, and Hua's father has also read books for more than 30 years, and he has taken the exam more than a dozen times back and forth in the triennial exam, and he failed once......
If he doesn't hit this time, you can imagine what Li's expression is, a scolding is indispensable, and the double torture of physical and mental makes him even more miserable.
Hua Shi lowered his eyes and pondered, and said tentatively, "Dad, why do you have to be obsessed with getting fame, we haven't seen anyone in our village get fame, I didn't win once or twice, I gave up, you ......"
Before Hua Shi's words were finished, Father Hua seemed to have been stepped on by someone, stood up, his face flushed, pointed at Hua Shi, and reprimanded, "Shut up!" It's not your turn to point fingers at my business! Get out! ”
Hua Shi was stunned, and before he even touched his head, he was driven away by Father Hua angrily.
She just tentatively persuaded Father Hua that if she couldn't pass the exam, it would be better to give up, why hang herself on a tree with a crooked neck......
Obviously, the Li family's imprisonment of him is deep in the bone marrow, and he is already obsessed with winning fame.
Failing to pass the fame exam is his sore spot......
Hua Shi couldn't understand what this big family was doing, and his stomach rumbled again, and he walked around the corner to the front yard.
The front yard is empty, Li is not at home when he goes out, Hua Li is going up the mountain to hunt pigweed, Hua Xiao should take Hua Ying to collect firewood.
In the quiet courtyard, there was a sudden sound of small fragments.
When I looked at the sound, it was from the small kitchen not far from the corner......
"Bang,"
Pushing open the door, the dim and cluttered little kitchen was empty, and the sound that came from the moment seemed to be her auditory hallucination.
"Squeak, squeak......"
This time, I heard it clearly, it was the cry of a mouse.
When I thought of that night, the bloody rat meat, goosebumps came out again when I spent it, and I was suspicious.
This small kitchen is turned inside and out, there is nothing to eat, how can there be rats foraging for food?
Hanashi hesitated and walked towards the corner where the noise was made.
"Squeak, squeak!"
A large, black-haired rat ran out of the pile of debris and went straight to the soles of Hua Shi's feet.
Flower was taken aback.
The rat was frighteningly large, larger than a normal rat, with a bulging belly and moving fast.
"Squeak Squeak......"
After running around Hanatoki's feet, the rat did not burrow into a dark corner, but stopped at Hanatoki's feet and squeaked at her trouser legs......
Flower time:?
She stamped her foot tentatively, and the rat, which was almost lying at her feet, was not scared away, but continued to circle around her feet, as if something was attracting it.
This is......?
The time spent hesitating, and I couldn't figure it out when it was half-loud.
What's going on with this rat?
"Squeak, squeak."
The rat was still circling around her feet, and even stopped when she saw the flower, and a pair of small paws tugged at the hem of the flower's trousers, trying to climb up her trouser leg.
Hua Shi's hair stood on end in fright, he shook his legs, and took several steps back, but the mouse persevered to follow.
Looking at the extremely excited and lively mouse, Hua Shi thought for a moment and lifted the palm that grew a spring......
Is it because of the ...... of this spring in her hand?
Hua Shihu was puzzled and looked down at his palm.
"Squeak squeak!!"
The rats that were gathered at the feet of the flower suddenly became very excited and squeaked when they raised their hands to stare at the spring when they saw the flower.
Hua Shi took two more steps back, and the mouse followed closely again, grabbing her trouser legs, and even wanted to jump up directly.
This spring water not only heals animals, but also has a different kind of attraction for animals?
When the flower was in his mind, a burst of bold ideas welled up in his mind.
She lowered her body slightly, and the spring water trickled from her fingertips......
“… Squeak squeak! ”
The mouse ran over excitedly, licking the spring water dripping on the ground, and the short tail behind it swayed up and down, left and right, excited.
When the rat was full and no longer licked the spring water on the ground, he took his hand back when he was full.
The well-fed rat had no intention of leaving, and its two front paws were still clinging to the trouser legs of the flower, refusing to let go.
Kicked it when it took time.
"Squeak, squeak." The chubby, swarthy mouse barked twice, still with no intention of leaving.
"So clingy...?" Hua Shi lowered his voice, and his tone was a little confused.
Is this spring really that attractive?
When she spent her time, she flattened her palms and put them on the ground, and the chubby mouse consciously crawled into her palm and squatted obediently in a ball.
Hua Shi picked it up and looked at it carefully, and the whole body, round and large, almost occupied a whole palm of her hand.
"Squeak."
The rat let the flower time look, did not move, and was not afraid, and even showed closeness and dependence on the flower time.
"Ahh Are you playing with mice?! ”
Hua Shi was comparing the difference between the mouse in the palm of his hand and the ordinary mouse, and suddenly there was a startled voice from the little girl at the door.
Hua Xiao stared, looking at the mouse she was holding in her hand with a face full of disbelief, opening her mouth and looking at Hua Shi with a cold face.
"You're secretly raising rats!" Hua Xiao said, I don't know what I thought, and the angry expression on her face was even worse,
"I knew it was you! The rats in the water tank a few days ago were all deliberately drowned by you who were secretly put in it! It hurts the second brother to fetch water again! And that hole in the chicken pen, you dug it too! Let the rats bite the old hen with milk, and blame the second brother, and you can treat everything as if nothing happened, and you can still eat meat......"
Hua Xiao opened her mouth and said a lot, the expression on her face changed from anger to anger, and her eyes became more and more terrifying when she stared at Hua.
Flower time:?
Question marks appear on the top of the head when it is flowered.
What tank drowns a mouse? What did she deliberately dig holes for rats to bite old hens to death? It's all her business!
No wonder that day, her bed was crawling with cockroaches and dead rat meat...... It's all the revenge of Huayu!
Thanks to her when she was fighting with the Li family, she also helped him persuade the Li family, but she was beaten by others! The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people!
Hua Xiao thought that that day, the second brother was beaten all over his body, and he had to go to the field early to water the next day...... The second brother's illness was just right, and the milk beat him, all because of this vicious woman!
When Hua Xiao stared at Hua, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, "It's all your fault...... I'll make you pay! ”
The little girl was young, stared at a pair of vicious eyes, swore a poisonous oath in her heart, and after scolding, she turned her head and ran.
When the flowers are left in place, they are also angry.
The old hen was bitten to death by a mouse, how could it be on her head, and she only had contact with this mouse today......
No, if the spring water had a strange attraction to animals, then she didn't know it the other day......
When she first knew that she had a palm spring, she did all kinds of experiments in order to know the function of the spring, but she did not find any special effect, so she thought that this spring water was just ordinary spring water. Just because of the convenience, I have been washing vegetables and cooking with spring water......
And, if she remembers correctly, she did put a jar full of spring water. She thought that when she got to the well, she would have to use a wooden bucket to bring up the water little by little, and it was troublesome and laborious to pour it back and forth, so she simply filled the tank with spring water.
If the spring water really has a fatal attraction to animals, the water in that tank will indeed attract rats to drink and drown in the tank...... It makes sense.
Moreover, she also suspected that it was because of the spring water that these rats suddenly grew so fat.
The rats that the flower encountered in the chicken coop were indeed much larger than ordinary house mice, as if they had mutated......
