Late one night in the twelfth lunar month of this year, Xu Jing came alone to the Zhulou Hotel in the market town at the foot of Wudang Mountain. In addition to selling wine, this shop also attracted some good-looking young women to sell themselves. Of course Xu Jing doesn't care about the affairs of the interpersonal relationship, but these kinds of things are most likely to paralyze the will or attention of the person involved, which also unknowingly provides excellent conditions for her to sneak attack on the person's food. Xu Jing jumped into the restaurant while it was dark, and smelled the scent of bacon in the air from a distance. She climbed along the bamboo building and reached the door of a room. The door was tightly closed, so she looked around the four corners. , there was no hole or gap that could accommodate its body. The rich scent of bacon was clearly coming from the room, and it couldn't get in. It even hit it with its paws a few times, but it didn't help. Based on its experience, as long as the stone house is not hewn by a mason with a chisel, there will usually be loopholes that can be squeezed in at random places.
At this moment, it left the door and climbed up along the wall of the bamboo building. It found a half-square depression on the left. It slipped lightly and saw a window covered with floral paper in front of it. It squatted on the window eaves and propped up its ears to listen carefully. There came out a woman's coquettish laughter, mixed with some dirty words, roughly saying that your behavior is better than that guy Kuai Yi, and now it dotes on other women. , I am very happy to have you.
Feng Tou, it is true that we are happy together, but you must not mess around with other men in the future.
Can you afford me? How much can you give me each time? To do this unless you marry me...
While a man and a woman in the room were haggling over the price, Xu Jing took advantage of this and quietly bit a small hole in the paper window. She did it very skillfully, which meant that the window paper only bit and tore off a piece, but did not tear it apart. If it falls down, Xu Jing, the female rat, will get in and out of the torn paper, and the piece of paper will be restored again. People who are not careful, especially those who are excited by something, or have open-minded thoughts People who have deserted simply don't notice it and won't pay attention.
At the moment, Xu Jing was not interested in the whispers of a man and a woman in the room. She had already entered the room through the gap in the paper she had bitten open. The smell of bacon became stronger and stronger. She felt that this beautiful bacon was hanging on the right side of the room. It rushed over excitedly, making a slight noise, but was drowned out by the louder noise made by a man and a woman on the bed.
Entering the wing room, it turned out that there was a row of bacon hanging on the beam. If you don't climb up, you can't attack by surprise. Rats are born to be habitual thieves. Xu Jing's stealing skills are certainly not low, and she is very experienced. Before the sneak attack, it looked around to make sure there was no danger. Then it sneaked to the corner and climbed up to the beam. It spread its limbs like a melon and tightly held one of the pieces of bacon in its arms, using its thin and sharp teeth. Eat greedily.
After just a few mouthfuls, Xu Jing heard a noise and stopped moving. However, based on hearing and smell, she knew that the four rats coming were A, B, C, and D. When they arrived, she climbed to the beam. He said to them: You are not against my sneak attacks on humans, so why are you here again? Shu Zai A said: Mom, I was worried that it would be unsafe for you to go out alone, so I summoned three brothers to follow you secretly to protect you, and you would also have someone to take care of your sneak attacks. Now it is safer for you to come in and raid the goods here, so we will follow you in.
Xu Jing touched Shu Zijia's body with her paws and said with a smile: Mom still has the courage. If you give up the sneak attack on humans as your father said, that would be a really stupid idea.
Then he ordered the four mice to each enjoy a knife of bacon and try not to make any noise because there was someone next door.
The next night, more rats followed Xu Jing. Fortunately for them, they had eaten a few holes in the bacon the night before, and no one noticed. Xu Jing was more cautious, but the mice were more courageous. A group of five or six of them gnawed on a heavy piece of bacon. Due to the added weight, the brown leaf that was about to break in the middle of the night It broke with a "thud", and the bacon clumsily hit the floor more than two meters deep. The sound woke up Feng Tou, who was sleeping next door, and she shouted: What is it? The room was silent. She was a little timid. She rolled up the quilt and sat up and listened quietly. There was only the sound of rats chirping, but she still suspected that the unusual and shocking sound just now was not caused by rats. She was thinking about whether it was caused by rats. Someone wanted to kill her if she had offended someone, but it was impossible, she had not offended anyone. She had given up on Zeng Qiongxin, who was competing with Kuai Yi for his favor. Not to mention Zeng Qiongxin's gratitude to her, and she would never harm her. The noise just now was clearly caused by someone, so she guessed that there might be a thief in the room. What was he trying to steal? She didn't have anything valuable, and the rings and jade bracelets that that dead guy Tao Qinghu gave her had been robbed by that guy Kuai Yi. Thinking about it this way, she was not afraid of anything and allowed the thieves to do whatever they wanted, as long as they did not offend her. Feng Tuo, who was relaxed in his thoughts, shook off the quilt and lay down, and fell asleep hazily.
The moment the bacon "smashed" on the ground with the knife, several mice also fell down. Fortunately, they were light in size and would not be injured if they fell on the ground. At this moment, they panicked and immediately slipped back to the road. They only heard the movement of a person on the bed next door. Then they returned to silence and returned, gnawing greedily around the knife of bacon on the ground.
At this time, Xu Jing climbed down from the beam, and she gave these mice a lesson in rat language, saying that it would be really abominable if you expose yourself without eating a few mouthfuls of meat. If so, Just don't come with me, why not get out of here quickly.
Knowing that they were at fault, several rats climbed up to Xu Jing one after another to promise that they would be extremely cautious when conducting sneak attacks in the future. Xu Jing asked them to take care of themselves, so she sneaked into Feng Tou's bedroom next door. Seeing that there was no movement, she returned to the beam next door and ate a knife of bacon. Around the fourth watch, Xu Jing and her rats were full, and they planned to bring some bacon back to the cave for the other rats to enjoy. However, each cut of bacon was very heavy, and they couldn't drag it with them at all, so they had to Each mouse carried a small piece of bacon bitten off by a weight into the cave. At this time, their mother Xu Jing cut it off and it was very safe. Feng Tou, who was sleeping deeply, did not wake up at all.
In the morning, when Feng Tuo woke up from her dream, she remembered the noise next door last night. She walked over to take a look without washing up. There was a knife of bacon lying on the ground. Why were there white holes in the bacon? It was obvious that it was a rat bite, so she went downstairs and called the restaurant owner Zou Shuzi up to take a look. Zou Shuzi was attentive and looked at the bacon that had been damaged by rats. He then looked up at several bacon knives hanging side by side on the beam. Sure enough, , there were also one or two cuts of bacon, and the blackened skin also showed white holes recently gnawed by rats.
Zou Shuzi was very annoyed. These bacons were specially smoked by him for the Chinese New Year and were temporarily placed here. If they were placed in the hotel downstairs, they would inevitably be filled with unpredictable customers. what to do? Should we take away the bacon or keep it here? Zou Shuzi had a strange temper. He said he must take revenge on the mouse. How to take revenge? He and Feng Tou whispered something, almost in the air, and others couldn't hear it at all. He said he was not afraid of people hearing, but afraid of mice hearing. He suspected that mice might be hiding in the holes under the wall. If the sound was louder, they would all If they can hear you, they will take precautions to foil your plan of retaliation.
