Chapter 447 Rat Control

Chapter 447 Rat Control

"elder brother!"

Yueyue was a little helpless and only looked up at Xiao Qi standing at the door.

"I, I didn't mean to..." Xiao Qi looked at Yueyue at a loss, and it took her a long time to say this.

He really didn't mean it. Brother Aze just said they were disbanded, and the first thing he thought of was to come here to find Yuan Bao.

The apology I originally planned to say turned around when I saw her, and it ended like this as soon as I said it...

"Brother, you should go to Yuanbao to apologize."

Yueyue pursed her lips and said this softly.

She couldn't blame her brother. After all, his life would be much easier without her as a burden.

Nor would he become the "son-in-law" who was ridiculed by others in the village just to save himself.

"I know." Xiao Qi nodded, looking at his sister's face that finally turned red, he stepped forward and sat down.

"Yueyue, does it still hurt?"

"Much better, I will get better slowly." Yueyue smiled, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

"The rats are coming! The rats are coming!"

Just as Xiao Qi was about to say something more, she heard shouts coming from outside the house.

Accompanied by the hurried footsteps of the crowd.

"Yueyue, please hide in the house, brother is going to get busy."

Xiao Qi touched Yueyue's head and her tone softened.

"Okay, brother, be careful."

Yueyue nodded and put away the sewing basket.

After watching my brother go out, he carefully checked the doors and windows again.

There are palm-sized black mice everywhere outside the house, with a pair of mung bean-sized eyes glowing red, which can make one's scalp numb.

The rats are not afraid when they see people, and many of them even burrow into people.

All the old people and children in the village hid in their houses, leaving only some strong laborers to hunt outside.

Aze was holding a bow, and at his feet were pieces of rat corpses. The dark red blood was extremely smelly and looked very disgusting.

"Xiao Qi, take the people to the east end of the village and leave them to me here. You must be careful and don't let these beasts bite you."

Aze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Qi coming over.

These mice are the most alert, and adults like them will never notice them no matter what.

Sometimes we really have to let these kids come.

"good."

Xiao Qi nodded and led the people to the east end of the village. Along the way, he saw swarms of rats emerging from the fields. They were even more daring to take a bite of meat when they encountered people.

Xiao Qi was holding a long stick with iron heads cast on both ends. He just raised his hand and swung one to kill.

At first, no one paid much attention to the rat infestation. After all, in winter, there are always hungry rats coming out to look for food. When there are too many rats, it is inevitable that someone will be bitten.

Those who were bitten either suffered from ulcers, pus, and high fever, or were unconscious and convulsing at night.

Only then did they realize that these rats were no ordinary ground rats.

The rats swarmed in, and the rats behind them became even more crazy after smelling the smell of blood. They rushed one after another just to take a bite of the corpse of their companion.

Naturally, some people were disgusted by this scene, so they simply set fire to the corpses. In an instant, there was a strange smell of meat all around.

Some people who haven't eaten meat for a long time smelled it, and their throats rolled up unconsciously, and a lot of saliva came out of their mouths.

"You can't smell this smell." Some older people shouted quickly, causing everyone to cover their noses.

This doesn't taste right.

Thinking of the people who had been bitten by them, everyone became extremely energetic.

After hurriedly dealing with the rats on the road, a group of people arrived at the east end of the village.

The east end of the village is half by the water, with wasteland on both sides. Few people choose to build houses here, and there are only a few scattered huts.

Ever since the rat infestation broke out, the people here have moved to the middle of the village, so the place has naturally become deserted.

But now that there are no people around, those rooms have become a favorite hiding place for rats.

There are no fields at the east end of Simple Village, and the rats are not densely populated. They only come out of those houses from time to time.

Xiao Qi is young, but his movements are the most agile. He can always strangle the rats hiding in the dark and trying to attack them. After a few movements, the long stick is already stained with blood and covered with red and white things.

After hunting for two full hours, the rats suddenly stopped moving as if they had received some message. Regardless of them, they all poured into the forest in the same direction.

Seeing the rats retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There are many people bitten by rats in the village, and now they have all moved into the compound at the end of the village. If anyone is bitten again, it will be difficult to deal with them.

Yuan Bao saw that her little sword was stained with blood, and she felt a little reluctant to let it go, but when someone was watching, she could only throw the little wooden sword away pretending not to care.

In the past, she used a slingshot to shoot mice, but she didn't have time to go back and get it today.

I can only use a small wooden sword.

This sword was given to me by my father.

The little girl looked calm, but her eyes still glanced at the small wooden sword on the ground from time to time.

"Yuanbao is so powerful."

The two aunts who were responsible for taking care of the wounded in the compound looked at the dead rats lying in the yard and couldn't help but praise Yuan Bao.

"No, no." The little girl was a little shy and just waved her hands like an adult, making everyone laugh.

"Auntie, brother and the others haven't woken up yet?"

Yuan Bao wiped his hands and followed into the house.

There were about a dozen unconscious patients lying in the room. Their faces were blue and their hands were twitching unconsciously.

"not yet."

Aunt Li sighed. Her son was also bitten on the ear. Now the entire left ear was almost rotten. He also had a high fever and was not getting any better.

"Auntie, don't worry, my dad and the others will be back soon with the medicine."

At first, when there was a rat infestation, everyone didn't pay too much attention. At most, they were worried that the food in the house would be stolen by rats. But when the people bitten by them got sick, Chi Sheng listened to the second master's words and took people there. He went to the mountains to look for medicine.

"I know, I know." Aunt Li's face broke into a smile that was uglier than crying. When she heard someone moaning, she ignored the Yuan Bao and hurried over with hot water.

Looking at the unconscious person on the bed, Yuan Bao felt a little uncomfortable.

When the second master came over looking for a house, he saw his little niece standing there in a daze.

"Yuanbao, what's wrong with you?"

"Second uncle, will they all be okay?"

Yuan Bao didn't answer his words, he just stared at those people.

The second master was stunned and turned to look in the direction of the little girl's finger.

Lying on the bed were the original villagers of Tianjia Village and the people from Qingfeng Village, but all of them had pale faces and closed eyes.

"It will be fine."

He nodded affirmatively and pressed his big hand on Yuan Bao's head.

"Yuanbao, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, as long as everyone can get better."

The little girl shook her head, her eyes extremely determined.

There were piles of rat carcasses piled up in the fields, and the stench along with the stench in the fields only made people sick.

"Mix them with herbs and burn them. Not a single bit will be left."
