Chapter 470 Rat Repellent Poison
Yuan Bao was already a little flustered, but now that he was being attacked by Xiao Qiyi, he suddenly felt aggrieved.
"me……"
The little girl's eyes were red, and her expression was even pitiful. Seeing her like this, Xiao Qi felt regretful.
Did he go too far?
After all, Yuanbao is younger than me, and she is a little girl. He shouldn't be so cruel to her...
But if she had been a step later, she might have been injured...
Xiao Qi was very conflicted. While telling him that he should apologize to Yuan Bao, he felt that he couldn't wipe out the face.
Just as she was twisting her head, she saw the tip of the little girl's nose wrinkle, and hot tears falling down.
"You, don't cry."
Yuan Bao's tears made Xiao Qi completely panicked. He wanted to step forward to wipe them away for her, but was stunned when he saw her move two steps back when he stepped forward.
Yuanbao would not be like this in the past.
The little boy was dumbfounded and felt that there was a missing piece in his heart, but no matter what he did, he could not fill it up again.
Yuan Bao raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face, and ran away without even looking at him.
The little girl's back became farther and farther away, until it was blocked by the wall, and Xiao Qi seemed to be completely discouraged.
He regretted that he should not have been so indifferent to Yuan Bao, nor should he always feel that they looked down on him.
Before he could stay depressed for a long time, he only heard a few squeaking sounds, and swarms of rats appeared from the field ridge again. The stench in the past was even worse, which only made people feel sick.
Xiao Qi no longer hesitated, picked up the arrow on the ground and ran towards the village quickly.
Even if he knew some skills, one person couldn't deal with so many rats.
He had to inform the villagers first.
There was rustling noise from the field ridge beside the village. As soon as the curious young doctor poked his head, he saw a rat emerging from the field ridge.
The mouse was all black, with oily tips on its fur. Its mouth was long and pointed, its beard and hair were messy, and its eyes were even more sinister.
Just at that glance, the doctor's face instantly turned pale.
"The rats are coming! Everyone, go back to the house!"
The young people in the village who saw the rats pulled him over and shouted hello.
A few people were packed into the room behind them while they were still in a daze. For a while, only a group of strong young people were left outside the room.
"Doctor, please stay in the house for a while. We have to go get rid of the rats. If you see any rats entering the door, be careful not to get hurt by them."
"Hey, okay, okay."
After ensuring their safety, the group specially left two people to look after them, and then each took a hoe and sickle and started to eliminate rats in the village.
They had just discussed the acupuncture method for recuperation, and Wang Jingzhi was just happy when he heard a commotion outside the yard, and then the Li family's aunt hurriedly dragged them into the house.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"Hush, keep your voice down, those rats are here again."
Aunt Li only motioned for them to be quiet, briefly explained the situation, and then continued to wipe the patients' bodies.
Wang Jingzhi was stunned, thinking of the mottled blood stains he saw when he entered the village, he felt a little hesitant.
Is the rat plague outside the city already so serious?
When he was young, he traveled with his grandfather for a year.
At that time, my grandfather was a well-known traveling doctor in various places. Halfway through his travels, there happened to be a severe drought, so they lived in a village for half a month.
What he saw most in that half month were hungry, red-eyed rats and victims who ate rats alive.
Because of their grandfather's status as a doctor, they have avoided many disasters.
Later, the plague broke out in that village, but when he followed his grandfather back, he only saw the burned-out village and countless scorched bones.
Later, when he returned to the village, his grandfather no longer went out to practice medicine and only kept himself close to him.
Seeing that Aunt Li was busy working, Wang Jingzhi couldn't stand still, so he stepped forward to take care of the patient with her.
Having more contact with patients can help them decide how to cope with the disease.
Rats are scurrying around in the village, only giving way slightly when smelling herbs. This is also the reason why there is no increase in the number of patients in the village when rats swarm so frequently.
There were rats in and out, so Shen Wenchen naturally had no reason to sit still, so he got up and walked out of the house.
He had also been on duty in other villages, but when he looked at the rats that were fatter than those before, he still frowned in disgust.
These rats are really disgusting.
In just one month, it has grown so much.
Wherever the rats go, there is a foul stench, accompanied by their own smell and mixed with a fishy smell.
"General."
Aze was at the front as usual, leading a group of people around to kill rats. He was a little surprised when he saw Shen Wenchen coming out.
"Which way are you leading people to?"
"Village, village entrance."
"Okay, let's go."
After all, Shen Wenchen was a person who had been killed on the battlefield. Those rats would subconsciously avoid him and run towards other people in the crowd just by looking at him.
A group of people each carried their own tools and wore special sachets. For a while, they only killed the rats and ran away screaming.
Xiaoqi held a hatchet in his hand and vented his unhappiness on the rats in front of him.
When Shen Wenchen turned his head, he saw that his eyes were red with blood, his clothes were stained with smelly blood, but his men's movements did not stop at all.
Realizing that something was wrong, he just frowned and picked the person up.
Xiao Qi, who was already red-eyed, felt his collar tighten, and he was being carried off the ground with a knife.
She subconsciously wanted to swing the knife over, but Shen Wenchen just knocked the person unconscious with one palm, then put the person on his shoulders and continued working.
In the courtyard, Wang Jingzhi glanced and saw a mouse sneaking into the house. The sight made his scalp numb, so he simply obeyed his orders and just picked up a brick from the ground and threw it over.
The mouse was stuck by the window, watching a brick coming towards him. He wanted to avoid it for a moment, but he could only twist his body hard, and finally his brains were knocked out by the brick.
The fishy smell suddenly spread out, causing people to retching.
"Why did they let them in?" Aunt Li's expression changed drastically. She quickly took out a handful of medicinal powder from her pocket and sprinkled it around the window. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The medicinal powder fell on the rat's body, and the fishy smell was instantly covered, leaving only a faint herbal fragrance.
"Auntie, was the second master preparing the powder?"
"That's right. The second master is very capable. He specially prepared this rat-repelling powder. It can not only repel rats, but also deodorize. If it weren't for this, the village would be in chaos."
Seeing that he was interested in the medicinal powder, Aunt Li simply grabbed some more from her pocket and handed it to Wang Jingzhi.
"Luckily you acted quickly, otherwise it would have been troublesome if the rat came in."
"This is what I should do."
Wang Jingzhi was a little embarrassed, after all, he was scared just now.
He had never seen such a big rat before.
