Chapter 476 Suspicious Mountain Col
Aunt Li's injuries were serious, and a lot of the flesh on her neck was gnawed away by rats, but fortunately, her blood vessels and meridians were not injured, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
The second boss concentrated on treating her wounds and asked Yuan Bao to take Xiao Qi, who had just stopped crying, to several other rooms.
Since there is something wrong with Aunt Li's house, it is inevitable that something will happen to the rooms next door.
Aunt Li is a normal person who has been injured like this, but the other rooms are full of patients recovering from serious illnesses. If something goes wrong, there may not be any good results.
Yuan Bao has always been carrying herbal powders with various effects, so the second master is not worried.
The first one and the second one opened the door and saw only silence inside. I don't know whether it was because it was still early or because they were too weak. At this moment, everyone closed their eyes tightly and fell asleep deeply.
"Brother Xiaoqi, this way."
Yuan Bao was short, and as soon as he stepped into the room, he saw that the medicinal powder in the corner was missing a lot.
Xiao Qi responded, stepped over and noticed the clue.
These powders don't look like they were accidentally stepped on. On the contrary, they look more like someone did it on purpose.
Aunt Li has always been careful, and every night she will carefully check whether there is enough rat repellent powder in the house.
And everyone in the village knows how powerful those rats are, and they don't know how to drive these life-saving things.
If you really want to talk about it, there are only three doctors who are in the compound.
Xiao Qi was doubtful, but his subordinates took the rat repellent powder handed over by Yuan Bao and sprinkled it around the room.
After checking the three houses, only Aunt Li's house and the first house had traces of being wiped away. There were no changes in the other two houses.
"Yuanbao, go and notify your father and ask him to bring someone out. We will go to exterminate the rats later."
The second master bandaged Aunt Li, then went out and looked at the two little babies and said.
"Xiao Qi, come with me to the place where you just found the mouse paw prints."
"good."
"good."
Yuan Bao and Xiao Qi nodded in unison, and the little girl waved her hand and ran out of the yard.
Neither Xiao Qi nor the second boss said anything, so Xiao Qi led the way to the place where he had just found the paw prints.
Looking at it from a distance, I saw that the two wooden barrels had been frozen in the mud, and were covered with a thin layer of ice. The snow on the roadside had melted slightly, and I couldn't see any paw prints. It's printed.
Xiao Qi never thought this would happen, and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Second Master, I really saw it..."
"I know."
The second boss looked at the road beside him and his heart sank.
Although the snow has melted slightly, the muddy water on the road is still wet. Someone must have carried water and passed by. The water spilled out and soaked the ground, leaving footprints.
Those fresh footprints were densely packed with mouse paw prints.
Moreover, these paw prints are very large, much larger than those of the previous mice.
Something is going to happen in the village.
Mingqin got up early to study soilless cultivation. Although she didn't understand what she was writing and drawing on the paper, Chi Sheng insisted on sitting next to her.
At least I can see her.
"Abba! Abba!"
The two yards were not far apart, but because of his thick clothes, Yuan Bao was out of breath even after just a short distance.
"Yuanbao, what's wrong?"
Chi Sheng saw his daughter running hastily, hugged her into his arms, and patted her on the back.
"Daddy, daddy, it's a rat, it's a rat!"
Yuanbao gasped several times when he said a word, which made Chi Sheng a little anxious.
"So early?"
At first, the rats only appeared at night, and would leave every morning when they heard the rooster crow. Although they later came out during the day, they never appeared at dawn.
"Brother Xiaoqi found out that Aunt Li was injured. My second uncle said, let me tell you and call the uncles to kill the rats together."
Yuan Bao nodded and explained the matter roughly again before taking the water bowl handed over by his mother-in-law.
"Go quickly, Yuanbao and I will be fine at home."
Mingqin took her daughter over and said seriously.
Chi Sheng pursed his lips and looked at Mingqin for a while before nodding.
"Then I'll go and inform them first. Just stay at home with you and Yuan Bao. Be sure to close the doors and windows and be careful."
He was not worried about the two of them being alone at home.
But now that Shen Wenchen and the others have gone to the mountains, there are suddenly a dozen less mature men in the village. If he doesn't help, I'm afraid it will be even more chaotic.
"Yuanbao, stay at home with my mother-in-law and be good."
Mingqin rubbed the little girl's head and said gently.
"Aniang is not afraid, Yuanbao protects Aniang."
The little girl raised her head, patted her little chest and said proudly.
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work Yuanbao."
Mingqin carefully closed the doors and windows, then lit the oil lamp and continued busy.
Chi Sheng notified the name of the village, and soon a crowd of people gathered.
"Master, what's going on? Why did you call us so early in the morning?"
Someone was woken up while still in bed. At this moment, his clothes were not neatly dressed, so he only narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Open your eyes quickly."
The second boss brought Xiao Qi over and said in a deep voice.
"Although the number of rats is less now, they are much larger and are not afraid of people anymore. Xiaoqi happened to see something happen to Aunt Li today. We have to find out where those rats are hiding."
While speaking, the second master raised his hand, Xiao Qi nodded, and threw out the body of a mouse.
The mouse was all black, and the hair on its back was like a hedgehog with spikes. It looked very scary. The tail hanging behind it could be half a foot long. Its head had been smashed, and it was now limp. Yitan was lying on the ground, still exuding a faint stench.
Just like the fields on the roadside.
"Here, why is this rat so big?"
Some people exclaimed and their eyes widened.
This mouse is probably bigger than a cat!
"This is a rat that we just discovered. We don't know how many rats are hiding in the village yet. We need to get rid of them quickly to ensure the safety of the villagers."
"I'll go back and get the hoe."
"I'll get the hatchet!"
"I'll get the stick!"
Everyone was talking, and they didn't dare to slow down even a step.
This mouse is almost becoming a sperm!
If we don't get rid of it quickly, no one will be able to live a stable life in the future!
Chi Sheng looked at the mouse on the ground and felt as if he was being suppressed by a stone, feeling very depressed.
"Brother, we have to work harder."
"Um."
In the mountain col, Shen Wenchen and his party were looking at the things in front of them with solemn faces.
In the past few days, they said that they had searched the surrounding mountains and forests, but they did not expect to find a problem in this mountain col.
