After Zhou Yang came out of Li Changqing's office, he was about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a batch of mouse-catching tools.
Once the county orders a rat eradication campaign, these tools can be hard to come by.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Yang heard a "gurgle" sound.
He suddenly remembered that he had not taken any water from last night to now.
Just as he was about to let Liu Yunlong drive to a state-owned hotel for a meal, he heard another "Gulu" sound.
Zhou Yang was very sure that the sound this time was not made by him.
Turning around, he found Liu Yunlong looking at him with an embarrassed expression.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Zhou Yang said immediately: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and walk to the state-owned hotel!"
"okay!"
Then the car started and went straight to the state-owned hotel!
Soon, the car arrived at its destination!
After the two entered the door, they immediately ordered 10 large meat buns and two large bowls of millet porridge, and then started making them.
Because they were so hungry, the two of them not only ate all ten big meat buns in one go, but also ordered three more.
Good guy, I ate 13 big meat buns, two bowls of porridge, and a plate of pickles in one meal, which made the people eating next to me widen their eyes.
It’s not like I’ve never seen a big guy who can eat it, but I’ve never seen someone eat such a big meat bun, mainly because it’s too expensive.
This meal for two people cost three yuan plus a pound of food stamps, which was difficult for ordinary people to afford.
However, Zhou Yang and Liu Yunlong didn't think anything of it. After eating and drinking, they didn't stop at the state-owned hotel and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative after going out.
When he came to the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yang arrogantly rounded up all the mouse traps and thin wires in the store!
Then, under the stunned eyes of the store staff, he loaded the things into the car, and then hurried back to the village with satisfaction!
When the jeep returned to the village, it was already half past nine!
As soon as he entered the village, Zhou Yang saw commune members taking brooms and shovels along the village to clean cow and sheep dung on the road.
After sweeping them into piles, they would be piled in baskets on the side of the road, waiting for the carriage to pull them.
From time to time, Zhou Yang could see commune members driving mules and horse-drawn carriages past the jeep. The vehicles were pulling pig dung and cow dung, which seemed to be sent to the fields to be used as fertilizer.
Zhou Yang did not disturb everyone, but drove the car directly to the brigade headquarters, preparing to unload the mouse-catching tools.
It was only after I came in that I discovered that except for the little girl Tan Shiqing, no one else was in the huge brigade headquarters.
After asking, I found out that the rest of the people had followed the village cadres to set up rat traps at the fermentation tank.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang asked Liu Yunlong to drive the car to the fermentation tank!
Sure enough, before the car arrived, I could see a large number of commune members and educated youths busy at work in the distance.
After seeing the jeep, Zhang Genwang, Li Jianguo and others rushed over immediately.
After getting off the car, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "How's it going?"
Zhang Genwang immediately said with lingering fear: "You don't know if you look at it. I'm really shocked when you look at it. There are so many rat holes around here, so densely packed!"
"What is the village going to do?"
"We discussed it and decided to clean up the rats in the fermentation tank first, and then gradually clean up the rats in the village!"
"What should we do specifically?"
Zhang Genwang said immediately: "We decided to catch mice by digging holes, smoking, and filling water during the day, and at night we set traps, such as mousetraps and various mechanisms!"
Zhou Yang raised his head and looked around, and sure enough he saw many people digging mouse holes in the ground with shovels, while others carried water from the village and poured it into the rats.
From time to time, exclamations of surprise could be heard from the crowd, apparently a mouse had come out of its hole.
In this rat hunting army, in addition to experts, there are also a large number of children.
They were in groups, either holding shovels or buckets, walking through the crowd and having a great time.
In fact, Zhou Yang saw his daughter in the crowd, following behind Li Hu and Yan Wenhui.
Zhou Yang immediately opened the car door and asked Zhang Genwang and his uncle to remove the mouse traps and wires from the car, while he ran directly towards the group of dolls.
Seeing the group of child soldiers about to run away, Zhou Yang immediately shouted: "Li Hu, Bao'er, wait!"
Hearing Zhou Yang's shout, the child king Li Hu stopped immediately.
When he came to the group of children, Zhou Yang first subconsciously looked at Bao'er's hands. He was really afraid that this girl was holding a few dead mice in her hands. The dead sparrows some time ago really left Zhou Yang with a lot of psychology. shadow.
Fortunately, the little girl did not challenge the old father's mental endurance this time, and her hands were clean.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Huzi, Wenhui, you guys listen up, you can catch mice, but you must not catch them with your hands. Once you are bitten, you have to go to the hospital to see a doctor for injections, but it hurts!" Zhou Yang warned.
At present, these mice may carry hemorrhagic fever germs, but they are not as "harmless to humans and animals" as sparrows.
"Uncle, now that we know it, let's kill it directly without catching it!" Li Hu said.
"Well, don't take the dead mouse to the village, just dig a hole and bury it on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao'er tilted his little head and asked, "Dad, can't you take it back to grandma's house and feed it to the tabby cat?"
"No, the tabby cat will catch mice if it wants to eat meat. If you feed it like this, it will make it lazy!"
"oh!"
Then Zhou Yang looked at Yan Wenhui and asked, "Wen Hui, has your father left?"
"Well, I left just now!" the little guy said in a low mood.
"You help Uncle Zhou take Bao'er home at noon, and then come home on time for dinner at noon and evening, you know!"
"Um!"
"When Uncle Zhou's new house is built, you can move in with us!" Zhou Yang said again.
"OK!"
"Let's play!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang returned to the jeep, and then followed the village members to join in the rat-catching battle in full swing.
It has to be said that the village members are indeed experts at catching rats.
Especially some old members, they can tell at a glance whether there are rats in the rat holes.
When Zhou Yang came over, Feng Liujin was teaching several young educated youths how to catch mice.
Knowing that Feng Liujin was a rare hunter in the village, he hunted hares, foxes and even wild wolves, and his hunting skills were quite high, so Zhou Yang also stood in the middle of the crowd and listened patiently to his explanation.
At this time, Feng Liujin led everyone to a mouse hole. He glanced at the entrance of the hole for a few times, and then said: "Look at this "hole" (kU, dialect, meaning hole). There are obvious footprints around it. , there’s obviously a rat in there!”
"And the footprints at the entrance of the cave are very messy. There should be more than one. Everyone, look around to see if there are other exits!"
Several educated youths immediately spread out to search, and sure enough, they found another cave entrance three or four meters away from the right rear of the cave.
After finding the hole, Feng Liujin immediately said: "Liu Zhiqing, put the cage on the opening at the back! Wang Zhiqing, you can dig now!"
Under the command of Feng Liujin, several educated youths took action quickly!
As the excavation progressed, the educated youths soon dug one or two meters further.
At this moment, Wang Zhiqing, who was pedaling the shovel, stepped on the air and shoveled out half of the corn kernels.
Looking inside the cave, it was actually full of grains, including wheat grains, oatmeal grains, and corn grains. Good guy, I'm afraid it weighed about two kilograms.
At this time, Feng Liujin said again: "The wild mouse is smaller than the domestic mouse, but it moves more nimbly and is more clever and cunning, so its cave is not simple. It not only has a "warehouse" and "bedroom", but also There must be several imports and exports.”
"Once there is any abnormal movement in one direction, it will shrink deep in the cave and not come out, or flee from other exits..."
Just as he was talking, Liu Zhiqing, who was staring at the hole behind him, suddenly let out an exclamation.
Everyone looked back and saw three or four large rats, seven or eight centimeters long, escaping from the hole and then plunged into the cage prepared by everyone in advance.
Three big mice were caught at once, and everyone couldn't help but cheer...
