Kuai Yi stood up again and asked the bartender to bring more wine to honor Hu Wei and Feng Tou, but Feng Tou was not here and was playing the piano in the hall. At this time, the bartender brought Manjiang red wine and successfully passed the message to Feng Tou. Feng Tou came to the hotel. Kuai Yi pushed away the wolfberry wine bottle, picked up the Manjiang red wine brought by the bartender and unscrewed the lid. He said to Feng Tou with a smile, I know everything about the good relationship between you and Hu Wei. Today I would like to propose a toast to you to express my appreciation and congratulations. Without any explanation, he had already filled the sieve with wine for Feng Tou and Hu Wei, and then drank to their heart's content.
Feng Tou said: Hu Wei and I should be a match made in heaven, and Leader Kuai should be our Yue Lao. Kuai Yi laughed loudly, "Come on, I, as Yue Lao Matchmaker, will offer you another round of wine."
No, it's up to me to respond. Feng Tou stood up and sifted the wine for Kuai Yi. Afterwards, Hu Wei accompanied him and the three of them drank together.
Kuai Yi asked for more wine, but Feng Tou said that she would not drink anymore. If she wanted to drink, leader Kuai must agree to her request. Kuai Yi asked what the request was, and she said that she wanted leader Kuai to be merciful and allow her and Hu Wei to take a week's family leave. Kuai Yi said: This is easy to handle. He immediately offered her more wine. Hu Wei was secretly happy to see Kuai Yi talking so happily. However, when Feng Tou picked up the wine glass and was drinking it, he suddenly shuddered. He had only finished half of the glass of wine when the glass slipped from his fingers and dropped with a bang. Broken to the ground.
What happened? Kuai Yi, who had already toasted, looked at her and said.
Feng Tuo looked at his feet and said, he seemed to have tripped over something just now.
The bartender standing at the door mysteriously told everyone that a big mouse had slithered under her feet and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Bring another cup and add some wine to Feng Tou. He didn't drink well just now. Kuai Yi looked at Hu Wei and said, I hope the matter between you and Feng Tou will not end in a broken state like the cup just now.
Hu Wei said that he should have another drink to save the situation.
Feng Tuo shook her head and didn't want to drink, saying that she was too drunk and now her head was a little dizzy. In fact, she always thinks about mice, and feels that this mouse has done her a lot of harm. A year ago, she planned to elope with Tao Qinghu, a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, who had enough money to elope, but his invisibility suit was bitten by a mouse, and then his traces were revealed. Caught and even beaten to death. Not long ago, the bacon next door to her bedroom was chewed into holes by rats. Alas, they were all rats, and it would be unlucky to encounter rats. She was secretly suspicious and palpitating. Even though she was already drunk after a few drinks and her face turned pink, her melancholy eyes stopped people from continuing to persuade her to drink.
At that moment, Hu Wei pulled her out of her seat and said goodbye to Kuai Yi, saying that this time, thanks to the Lord's great grace, he would take Feng Tou back to his hometown in the countryside to relax for a few days. Kuai Yi also stood up and handed him over, telling him to take good care of Feng Tou. Kuai Yi usually doesn't say this, and I don't know what kind of mood made him particularly care about this farewell.
Xu Jing has already noticed Feng Tou's whereabouts. That time she took the risk and tripped Feng Tou's foot in order to follow her. Now Hu Wei took Feng Tou to his hometown of Hujiawan. This bay is all made of tiled houses. Hu Wei The home is an old house with five bays, that is, the main room is in the middle, and there are two main rooms on each side. On the north side of the main house, a sloping room was built as a kitchen. Under the long table in the kitchen is a pot-bellied jar. Covered with a wooden lid. Xu Jing followed quietly. It didn't come up from the road, but came down from the ground. The underground is densely covered with caves of the mouse family. In human terms, there is a tunnel leading to the ridge in the backyard of Hu Wei's house. There used to be an ancient tree on the ridge. Because the roots of the root rotted, it naturally became a cave. Rats connect such caves together to form their underground homes. Xu Jing sprang out of the cave in the ridge, and no one knew it. When it was in danger, it hid in again. Even if someone knew it was a rat hole, they didn't block it. Even if it was blocked, there would be other holes coming out. For some reason, Xu Jing always wanted to provoke Feng Tou, but it could never harm her. It hid in the dark and saw Hu Wei protecting her like a protector, and Hu Wei's family cared for and welcomed her like a treasure, which made her During this period of leisure, he lived a happy, happy, sweet and pampered life, so he became jealous and secretly caused trouble.
Finally one day, Feng Tou realized that mice were messing up their lives. She ate a piece of mouse droppings in the rice, picked it out from the porcelain bowl with chopsticks and threw it away. She also brought out a ball of white rice grains, but who knew? Are you sure you haven't eaten a few grains of mouse droppings by mistake while eating under a dim soybean oil lamp at night? Thinking about it this way, she panicked and became extremely resentful of the mouse.
At this moment, she simply pushed the bowl and said, why is there mouse droppings in the rice bowl? Is it because the rice jar is not sealed tightly and the mice get in and eat enough, then poop and urinate?
Hu Wei's mother is short-sighted and suffers from cataracts in her old age. Every time she cooks, she fills the rice from the jar. As for whether the rice is mixed with rat droppings, it is difficult for her to tell clearly. At this moment, when she heard what Feng Tou said, she smiled apologetically and said that it would be more hygienic to let you young people serve rice in the future.
Feng Tou stood up and asked where the rice jar was. His mother pointed to the jar under the long desk and found that the mouth of the jar was not covered at all. The wooden lid fell irregularly beside the jar. Feng Tou said angrily: No wonder, even the lid There is no cover, so why don’t the mice get in and have dinner?
To be honest, when I was filling the rice, I had a wooden lid on it, why did it open again now? My mother screamed as if she was avenging her injustice.
Hu Wei bowed his waist and picked up the wooden cover. He did not rush to cover it, but pulled the jar out to see that there were two more pieces of mouse droppings inside.
It’s really a rat infestation! Hu Wei sighed, picked out the rat droppings from the jar, and covered the wooden lid. It felt too light, so he picked up a brick from the corner and pressed it on the lid. He asked if the dead rat could still lift the lid. Feng Tuo was silent, but her appearance told people that she was deeply worried. Seeing that Hu Wei had washed his hands, she called him over and whispered for a while. Hu Wei just nodded, said nothing, and smiled sullenly. However, he took a few pennies with him to a nearby store and bought a mousetrap with some The meat is placed quietly on the side of the kitchen.
Besides, Xu Jing brought a group of mice to the kitchen of Hu Wei's house that night, intending to open the small wooden lid as usual and eat the rice in the jar, but she couldn't lift it, and with three or four mice, she After trying all our strength, it still couldn't be lifted. It turned out that there was a brick pressed on the wooden cover.
When he was in trouble, Rat A came and told Xu Jing that he smelled the smell of meat. Wouldn't it be better to eat meat secretly? Xu Jing said it could also smell it, but it might not be able to reach it. Rat A then led Xu Jing to a door opposite the long desk. There was a weight of pork hanging from an iron box. It was said that he could steal food without Xu Jing's permission, but he was very cautious. Last time, one of his brothers died from poison. The highly poisonous drug of Rat Q was a lesson. It didn't want to and didn't dare to take the risk, so it asked Xu Jing for instructions. When Xu Jing saw the fragrant pork, she also warned the rats to learn from the last lesson and not to act rashly. Most of the rats had retired. Only Rat A was still with Xu Jing to observe. He said: Mom, I’m sure that pork belly is not necessarily poisonous, nor is it necessarily non-poisonous. It’s hard to be sure now. Xu Jing said there is a way to be sure. Rat A asked what he could do. It said that there were cockroaches in the house. We did not touch the pork meat. If the cockroaches crawled out, they would move. If the cockroaches had no problems after eating for an hour, it proved that the pork meat was not poisonous, and we could take the opportunity to snatch the pork meat. . But there is a question. I have never understood why the Hu Wei family put the pork belly in an iron box in a corner of the wall. What was the purpose? If it is poisonous, it wants to hunt us, but if it is not poisonous, it cannot hunt us.
After hearing this, Mouse A stretched out his two front paws to praise his mother. He said that he could only wait until the cockroach came out and tasted the meat, and then he would know. But after waiting for a long time, the cockroach never came out. Waiting, waiting, I heard a woman moaning in pain. It was Feng Tou, and Xu Jing, who had been following her all the way, was very familiar with her.
