After Bao Quan left, a gray-haired rat suddenly jumped out from the small ashes. It squatted on its hind legs and clapped its forelimbs as if cheering. Two black rice-like eyes were embedded in the sides of its head, paying attention to its surroundings. The two erect ears are like two small leaves. Its hearing is good and its ability to distinguish is extremely strong. Whether it is the sounds of humans, animals, livestock, or other animals, once it senses a threat to rats, it will Not only can it escape quickly, but it can also send out a signal to warn others of its kind to hide. Perhaps no one noticed where it crawled out. As soon as there was an enemy alert or it discovered a danger signal, it would escape without a trace in just a few seconds. It knew that next to the pile of ashes, there was a layer of unburned leaves. As long as it used its forelimbs to lift the leaves, there was a deep black hole inside, winding for dozens of kilometers, criss-crossing it, and crisscrossing it every few dozen kilometers. There are one or two hidden entrances and exits every meter, like a wonderful and orderly network. Some are connected to remote caves, and some are connected to dry tree holes. Wherever they are warm and safe, they have built rat houses and stations for storing food. The rats use these to give birth to children and reproduce their offspring.
At this moment, a burnt smell was still lingering in the air. The gray-haired mouse could smell that there was no delicious meal worth remembering here or even in the embroidery building in front. It didn't come for any kind of food at all, it just had something. It feels like a soldier cleaning up the battlefield after the war. It seems to be immersed in the joy of the victor. A strange message lets it and its rats know: that time it left the rice candy wrapped in the dowry. After eating it, he destroyed a useful piece of paper, and then bit a big hole in another person's piece of paper, causing the master and servant to turn against each other. As a result, the master was drowned, and the servants were arrested and executed one after another. capital punishment. The director behind this tragedy is actually not the so-called human being, but the evil spirit behind it - the gray-haired rat.
Why is the gray-haired rat so difficult to get along with? Specifically, it was the two security guards who had a master-servant relationship with Wan Jin who couldn't get along with each other. The gray-haired mouse didn't know the resentment among them. For them, it had feelings and desires for revenge in its heart. Now the emotion is released and the desire is realized. There is still the aftertaste of eating human blood in its mouth. It was the place where the guilty Dewey and Yuan Fanghun were executed a few days ago. After the bodies were taken away, the people dispersed at dusk, and the rats feasted on a pool of dirty blood. Great meal. The gray-haired rat bore the brunt of the attack and feasted to its heart's content.
Afterwards, her husband Hu Hai jumped for joy and cheered for her, saying Xu Jing, my beloved wife, you are so capable. Human beings are cruel to us and kill countless compatriots, but you are able to take advantage of human beings' fatal weakness - selfishness to kill each other. , you finally gave the rats a sigh of relief.
Xu Jing said sadly: I will continue to clear the obstacles and sneak into the room of a vicious woman until she is killed. Hu Hai smiled and said: Could it be that that woman also signed a contract with some boss? Who can you use to kill someone with a knife?
Xu Jing was silent for a while, climbed up a green vine and defecated quietly, then ran to Hu Hai and said that the secret must not be leaked.
At this time, Xu Jing walked around Baoquan's house, but felt that she had no chance to stay for a long time. So he got into the hole again. There was a rat path in the hole that led to a restaurant in a town below Wudang Mountain three kilometers away. It kept driving there, which took at least two hours. Halfway through, a group of rats came from Small and large holes crawled out to intercept it. When it asked what happened, they were all silent, and some had tears streaming down their faces. Hu Hai came out of nowhere and said to it: Look!
Xu Jing looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the body of a little mouse lying across the cave.
Isn't this my youngest son? What's going on? Xu Jing burst into tears.
Hu Hai said that humans made a kind of poisonous rat Q (a highly poisonous drug) and smeared it on food. Yao's son ate a few grains of uncooked rice in a corner of a dormitory area, and then he felt cramps in his abdomen and crawled back to the cave. Just die. Hu Hai raised his voice and said to the rats: From now on, everyone should not easily go to human settlements to find food. The death of my youngest son from poisoning is a lesson.
Xu Jing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said seriously: If everyone hadn't reminded me, I might have followed in the footsteps of my son if I left.
At this moment, all the mice gathered around Yao Zi's body and mourned solemnly. Xu Jing used her toes to dig a hole and lift up the soil. Everyone followed suit, and soon a small tunnel appeared. Hu Hai dragged Yao Zi's body over, just in time. Bury it. The rats also came over and filled the tunnel tightly with earth materials. After that, everyone was tired and hungry, so Xu Jing led them to a particularly deep cave to share the various stored foods. All meat, fish, and vegetables are available here, and everyone has a full meal.
After that, for ten days and a half, the rats living in this cave did not dare to come out no matter day or night, but the food reserves were dwindling day by day. Xu Jing was very anxious, so she discussed with Hu Hai how to lead everyone to sneak attack on humans safely and covertly. Food to ensure that the rat tribe has a well-stocked warehouse and a happy life. Hu Hai analyzed and said that we will never be a match for humans, and it is best not to attack humans secretly. You should collect natural wild food to be self-sufficient, which is safer and more reliable.
Xu Jing tactfully scolded it for being cowardly, saying that humans have many impeccable weaknesses. For example, humans have a strong sense of hygiene and store food in sealed large tanks and urns. They know that we rats are not easy to sneak attack, so they don’t. Will they put poisons like Poison Rat Q? But there are also times when human beings are negligent. For example, if the owner is thinking about other things or is distracted by other things, and when his thoughts change, he may forget to close the cylinder cover or the lid tightly, etc., we can take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and benefit a lot. rich.
Although Xu Jing stated this truth, Hu Hai still denied it. He said: Once humans discover that they have been attacked by rats, they will take extreme precautions and create many illusions to confuse and seduce us, until our rat race is wiped out bit by bit. In this case, we might as well give up sneak attacks on humans.
Xu Jing said: Don't destroy your own prestige and enhance the ambition of others. Although human beings are smart, they are very clumsy in their movements. We can only take some risks and attack one place to another due to the disadvantages of human clumsiness, which will be safe and effective.
Hu Hai did not argue with it anymore, and only said to the mice: If you think Mother Xu's point of view is right, just follow it! I don’t disagree or agree with its views, so I just keep a low profile.
The mice looked at each other, not sure which of their mother and father had the correct view, but most of them had lingering fears. At least for the time being, no one would openly support their mother's view, because Yaodi's death was a lesson learned from the past.
In the dull cave, they were in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly Rat A climbed to Xu Jing's side and whispered: Mom, don't insist on your opinion. We can't defeat humans, so don't attack humans. What dad said makes sense. .
You know shit! Xu Jing said unhappily: Mom has to take some risks. Besides, the greater the risk, the higher the success rate.
Mouse A no longer openly rebelled. He saw that Xu Jing was very stubborn and was worried that something might happen to him if he went his own way. So on the one hand, he asked his mother to pay attention to behavioral safety when attacking humans. On the other hand, he summoned Mouse B, C, and D to discuss the matter. How to take good care of your mother.
