The tabby cat hadn't eaten since last night and was very hungry. The slender wire was tied around its neck, but it wouldn't open. So it bit the table leg tied with the wire with its teeth, but the table leg was too thick. After a few bites, leaving only a few shallow tooth marks, it became tired and sleepy, and no longer had the confidence to bite.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the crack of the wall over there. The tabby cat knew that it was the gray-haired mouse coming out, so it meowed. The gray-haired mouse crawled to the middle of the room and saw half a bowl of oil on the end of a chair. It was strange. He immediately climbed up and looked around. He was not looking at the tabby cat, but at the rice jar. When he found that the opening was open, he jumped down and crawled straight to the rice jar. The tabby cat thought that the gray-haired rat was going to sate its appetite with oil on its tail. Unexpectedly, the gray-haired rat ignored it. It was so angry that it blew its beard and glared, and made a dissatisfied cry "poof" from its mouth.
At this moment, the gray-haired rat had jumped into the open rice jar. The cat was thinking about why it was covered with a lid last night, but why it was left open during the day? Did the owner forget, or did he do it on purpose? It speculated, analyzed, and concluded that this was a trap set for the gray-haired rat. Since the owner didn't cook rice at all in the morning, there was no need to open the lid, so there was no need to forget to cover the mouth of the jar. At this time, the tabby cat under the table looked up and found someone peeping out of the window. It gloated that the owner would catch the gray rat who was so ungrateful that he crossed the river and burned the bridge.
Sure enough, the door opened quietly and Liu Mei came in. Then Wang Meng also came in quietly without making any sound in the room. Normally, the tabby cat would have barked to signal the gray mouse when it saw them, but now it was watching the couple's movements in silence. Liu Mei walked towards the rice altar, slowly opened a net bag that she had prepared, and then clicked it on the mouth of the altar. The gray-haired rat eating rice inside jumped up, but did not jump out. After being stopped, Liu Mei pressed the edge of the net bag, looked back at Wang Meng and shouted: Come here quickly, catch it.
Wang Meng quickly walked over and grabbed the gray-haired rat that was jumping in the rice jar and hit the net bag. It made a squeaking sound and turned its head to bite Wang Meng's hand. Wang Meng pinched its neck and couldn't move. Wang Meng slowly pulled out the net bag again, and used his other hand to pinch the gray-haired rat tightly. He turned it over and looked at its tail to identify whether it was male or female. If it was a male, it could be killed; if it was a female, it could be killed. Moreover, the belly is bulging, which proves that the fetus is pregnant and cannot be killed. If there is no fetal air, shoot without mercy.
Then he saw clearly that it was a male rat. Then he said to Liu Mei: Let you handle it. Liu Mei took the gray-haired rat from her husband's hand and strangled it tightly. She still held the half bowl of oil in her other hand. She walked out of the room and went to the field. She asked Wang Meng to nail a wooden stake to the ground, and then put the gray-haired rat's Press the tail on the wooden stake and nail it with a small nail. The gray-haired rat couldn't escape after several collisions, and was still charging. Liu Mei poured half a bowl of oil on the gray-haired rat. The gray-haired rat felt confused and smacked its mouth a few times. It stopped struggling and began to enjoy the delicious vegetable oil soup with great fear. Its eyes were blinking and were sticky with vegetable oil.
At this time, Liu Mei lit a match and ignited the gray-haired rat's body, which was covered in vegetable oil. Sparks flew up, and the gray-haired rat felt pain and jumped back and forth desperately around the wooden stake. Since the vegetable oil was burned on a slow fire, the gray-haired rat jumped up like this and whipped up a gust of wind that extinguished the fire. Liu Mei simply went into the room and carried the little pot of oil to the place, poured it on the gray-haired rat, and lit it again. The flames burned brightly. The gray-haired mouse was so painful that it circled around the wooden pile, and the wind also whipped up. Not only could it not extinguish the fire, but the fire also helped the wind, causing the circle it was turning to gradually slow down from fast to fast. It struggled until it was about to die. the point.
The tail nailed to the wooden stake was not dripping with oil, but the oil from the gray-haired rat's body had penetrated it and caught fire. It was just a slow fire. When the oil burned out, it went out, and the part burned by the fire became charred black. The gray fur on the gray fur rat's body has been burned away. It no longer beats violently, and its body trembles slowly, proving that it is not dead yet.
Liu Mei suddenly remembered something. She asked Wang Meng to take out the tabby cat tied to the table in the house and take a look at the miserable condition of the gray-haired mouse before it died.
At this moment, the air was filled with the fragrance of vegetable oil, and many people from the village came to watch the fun. Most of them asked Liu Mei very strangely, how to use vegetable oil to burn mice? Liu Mei then told how the gray-haired rat and the tabby cat conspired to steal oil and lift the lid of the altar to eat rice.
The tabby cat brought by Wang Meng seemed to understand its owner's words. It took one look at the gray-haired mouse and stopped looking at it. Instead, it tried its best to get out of the crowd, but it was pulled by the slender wire and could not escape. When Wang Meng saw it moving dishonestly, he roared: Why are you moving like a plague animal? It was you who conspired with the gray-haired rat to dirty a pot of vegetable oil. After hearing this, Huamao had a premonition that the disaster of being drenched in oil and burning his body was about to befall him. It continued to move and made a sharp and miserable howl.
At this moment, Liu Mei poured the last bit of vegetable oil on the gray-haired rat and burned it. Its limbs moved slightly, then stretched out like that and never moved again. When the onlookers saw that it was dead, they gradually dispersed.
Liu Mei told Wang Meng that the tabby cat must be dealt with now. After hearing this, the tabby cat started barking in fear, but for some reason Wang Meng had a compassionate thought in his heart, and said slowly: Forget it, it has already had the effect of killing one person as a warning to others, so just Spare this damn beast!
The tabby cat looked at Liu Mei and stopped barking. Liu Mei also thought this was reasonable and asked Wang Meng to untie the wire from the tabby cat. When it was untied, the tabby cat licked Wang Meng's fingers gratefully.
Liu Mei simply poured some of the dirty vegetable oil in the pot into a bowl, placed it in front of the tabby cat, and let it lick it. However, the tabby cat glanced at Liu Mei and checked whether she really let it lick it. Liu Mei turned around and picked up the tail of the gray-haired rat that had been burnt to black, and threw it towards the grass beside the field.
The tabby cat still didn't dare to lick the vegetable oil in the bowl, so Wang Meng picked up the bowl and walked into the house. The tabby cat followed Wang Meng into the house, meowing. Wang Meng put the bowl in front of the tabby cat again, and it Stick out your soft tongue and lick it with relish.
In the grass outside the field, there was the charred corpse of the gray-haired rat, and its soul was still floating on it, unable to leave. It hated its mistress Liu Mei deeply. When she saw her walking into the house, it wanted to follow her, but the door god stood ferociously at the door, blocking her from entering. It looked into the room and saw the tabby cat licking oil, which also made it resentful: If you, the cat, hadn't conspired with me to harm this family, I might not have been caught and suffered this misfortune! It's good now, I lost my life and you are safe.
