I'm afraid that if there is only one layer of lime, if there is an accident and a mouse breaks through, we will be instantly exposed to the attack range of the mouse.
Although there are a few donkeys tied next to the wooden house, their ability to ward off evil is stronger than quicklime.
But donkeys are living creatures and livestock, and they will definitely move and run around when they are frightened.
If we break away from the reins and run away, we will be in danger.
So just to be cautious, I have to add another layer.
I asked them to spread a circle with quicklime outside the wooden house. This time I had a double guarantee, and I felt more at ease.
Perhaps because he saw that those rats had no way to attack us, Zhao Hu became more and more courageous.
He also walked to the edge of the outermost lime layer with a gun in his hand, swearing at the rats' constant provocations, and occasionally shaking the gun in his hand, as if he was about to shoot to scare them.
Some of the mice had seen the power of this gun and ran away immediately as Zhao Hu pointed it at him. Some of them looked fearless and bared their teeth at Zhao Hu, looking like they were ready to attack at any moment.
After scolding Zhao Hu for a while and feeling satisfied, he took the treasure he picked from the tree hole and handed it to me, a pastel eight-treasure cup, asking me to show him what era it was from and how much it could sell for.
This Eight Treasure Cup is from the Qing Dynasty at first glance.
But now I don't have the heart to show him properly. I said let's get through the rat level first and see if we can leave alive. And now that I have to return these rats after looking at them for a while, I'm afraid I'll feel even more uncomfortable.
Zhao Hu also laughed at me: "What the hell, why are you so courageous from time to time? Look at me, I'm not afraid of these beasts at all now."
I took a look at the densely packed rats outside the fence and thought it was probably fake.
Especially in the distance, there seem to be countless rats running this way, and more and more rats are gathering together.
This makes me ask in my heart:
Can we survive tonight and wait for tomorrow's sun?
I told Zhao Hu: "Be careful with the ten thousand year ship. After all, we still don't know what species they are, how they became like this, and what are the ways of attacking people. For example, Erzhu, how did he We haven't figured it out yet, maybe these rats have other more evil tricks, so we have to be careful."
Zhao Hu nodded and said what I said made sense.
I checked the time and saw that it was already getting late, so I told everyone to pack up and go to bed. We had to take a break to conserve our energy. Otherwise, even if the mice left tomorrow, we would not have the energy to continue on our journey or return to the previous base camp.
At this time, Sister Yuan smiled bitterly and said to me: "How can I sleep here? There are all these scary things around, and they keep squeaking. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Before I could say anything, Zhao Hu joked: "Then if Jianjun sleeps in a tent with you, will you be able to sleep?"
Sister Yuan immediately laughed so hard that her branches trembled: "Then you must be able to sleep."
As she said that, she asked me if I wanted to sleep in a tent with her. If I was willing, she would definitely sleep very soundly tonight.
After all, there were more than a dozen people sitting here. She and Zhao Hu were making fun of me like this. Naturally, I was a little angry. I said angrily: "Whether you can sleep or not has nothing to do with me. It's at this juncture for you." If you are still thinking of joking, can you spend all your energy on the mice?"
Sister Yuan coughed, and then pretended to be angry and slapped Zhao Hu: "Did you hear that? It's okay, don't joke around."
Afterwards, everyone started to pack up and prepare to rest, but I felt that it would be too risky for everyone to rest. Someone would have to take turns to stand guard.
"Let's do this. Except for Xiaoye and Sister Yuan, the others will form a team of three and take turns to stand guard. If these rats behave abnormally, wake up the others immediately."
Soon, we were divided into groups.
Zhao Hu and I have pigtails.
Brother Lei is tall and has a Chinese character face.
Sharpbill is paired with his other two brothers.
In the first round, I originally planned to let our three-person team stand guard first while the others went to rest, but Xiaoye said that Zhao Hu and I had been busy for most of the day today and we must be very tired now. Especially since I am still the commander-in-chief, I must first ensure my safety. state.
She asked the sharp-tongued team to stand guard for the first round.
I think it's the same for everyone, as long as they are serious and notify them in time if something happens.
After giving instructions to Jian Zui, Zhao Hu, Xiao Zhuzi and I went directly to make a bed on the floor nearby. Maybe it was also affected by the rats around us. I couldn't fall asleep after lying down. At the same time, I felt that my body suddenly became colder.
I asked Zhao Hu if the temperature had dropped suddenly and why it was so cold.
Zhao Hu asked why the temperature suddenly dropped in this summer.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood that my symptoms of being possessed by evil spirits must have worsened again.
Unfortunately, when I packed my things before departure this time, I only brought a set of summer clothes to change, and no thick clothes to keep me warm.
Sister Yuan seemed to have heard our conversation. She came out of the wooden house and asked me if I was cold.
I thought that if I answered yes, she would probably tease me again and ask me to sleep in the cabin or her tent, so I simply didn't reply to her and just lay down with my back to her.
"I'm going to get you a blanket and you cover it. I prepared a blanket when I came out."
After saying this, Sister Yuan went to get me a blanket.
I was stunned for a moment, and felt a little ashamed. It turned out that I had misunderstood him.
Sister Yuan gave me the blanket, and Zhao Hu pretended to be cold and said, "Sister Yuan, I'm cold too, why don't you get me a blanket too."
Sister Yuan rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the house: "Do you want me to get some shit for you? Go to sleep."
Zhao Hu sighed and said that he was really partial.
I lay down and covered myself with a blanket, and I immediately smelled a scent, which was from Sister Yuan. I thought this blanket should be the one she usually used to cover her body.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I was suddenly woken up by the sound of sharp-tongued shouts.
"Get up and look! These beasts can actually dance."
I sat up and took a look. Jianzui and his two brothers were sitting cross-legged by the courtyard gate. Outside the lime layer, there were several extremely large rats standing up and imitating humans to walk. Some even hugged each other. Spinning in circles, it looked like he was dancing.
They looked particularly funny, and their pointed mouth kept giggling with his brother.
"Come and see. If you don't, you won't be able to see it later." Jianzui saw someone sitting up on our side and waved.
Zhao Hu scolded directly: "Are you fucking sick? What is the most important thing to us now? The most important thing is for us to have a good rest. What's so good about these beasts jumping around? This is You want to wake us up too? What did Jianjun tell you? Call us in case of emergency."
Zhao Hu's words made Jian Zui obviously dissatisfied. Jian Zui said angrily: "At that time, I said I called you because there was an abnormal situation. I think it was an abnormal situation that they were dancing and imitating humans. Is it wrong for me to call you?"
Brother Lei on the side was woken up by us. At this time, he patted the ground impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise, I'm sleeping soundly."
I originally wanted to tell Jianzui again and let him use his brain to think about the circumstances under which he could call us, but before I could say anything, I suddenly realized a problem.
