Chapter 479: Rat Control (2)
Being blocked, the rats stood upright and shouted at them.
There were squeaking sounds for a while, and just looking at a group of fat rats standing upright in a group made people's scalp numb.
Shen Wenchen didn't say much more. He picked up the long knife and made an arc.
The rat that had no time to escape was split into two, and the smelly blood immediately spilled to the floor.
Others were not far behind, trying to find a way to get rid of those disgusting rats.
Finding they couldn't escape, some rats began to attack them.
Even though everyone moved quickly, the number of mice gathered more and more, and for a while they became a little struggling.
When he was almost out of strength and almost fell down, the rat rushed towards him like crazy, just wanting to take a bite of meat.
The sharp rat teeth tore through the thick fabric and was about to bite the person. Shen Wenchen quickly picked up an arrow from the ground and threw it in its direction, directly piercing the rat's head.
"Thank you, thank you."
The young man's face was pale, and he felt that his heart had jumped to his throat. He watched the mouse fall limply, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Get up quickly, there's a lot more!"
Seeing him looking stunned, Shen Wenchen shouted sharply.
After being slapped like this by him, the young man seemed to have come to his senses and hurriedly got up from the ground.
Although the rats are easier to kill as they get older, the risk factor becomes higher as they get larger.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, there were already corpses lying on the ground around them, and everyone's body was covered with dark red and smelly blood stains.
However, those mice seemed to be possessed and no longer thought about escaping. They only attacked them crazily with red eyes, determined to bite them to death.
The group of people gradually found it difficult. After all, the young laborers in the village did not have much experience in this field, and the soldiers who came out of the military camp used to fight face to face with the enemy on the battlefield. Now they were besieged by rats, and they were somewhat powerless.
Just when Shen Wenchen slashed to death the three rats that rushed towards him, he finally heard the sound coming from the village.
"They're there! Everyone, go help!"
With the addition of the large army, Shen Wenchen and his party finally had time to breathe.
"Kill them!"
"good!"
"good!"
"Shoot them all to death!"
With the shouts, everyone's morale was high, and all fear in their hearts was gone. They all finished their tasks and wanted to chop all the rats into pieces.
What bothers the farmers is these dead rats!
During good harvest years, they would steal food desperately. Sometimes the family finally managed to improve the food, but it was stolen by these thieves in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes after a good harvest year, if you dig out a mouse hole, you can find dozens of kilograms of grain!
If there is a famine, these rats will not only steal food, but they will get hungry and even come out at night to nibble on children's ears!
This year is going well, but the rat plague happened again. It was just a matter of stealing some food, but now it's still hurting people and spreading diseases!
Unless I kill them all, I can't relieve the anger in my heart!
The resentment in my heart grew bigger and bigger, and everyone became more and more ruthless in their attacks.
Even Wang Jingzhi on the side took a hoe from their hands.
Looking at the disgusting-looking mice on the ground, Wang Jingzhi felt angry.
If it weren't for these things, he wouldn't have come to the free clinic outside the city. He would still be at home with his wife right now.
With resentment in his heart, Wang Jingzhi just raised his hoe and pointed it at the mouse that was trying to test him.
The smelly blood and brains splashed all over him. Seeing that his coat was stained, Wang Jingzhi became even more angry.
His clothes were all made by his wife herself, but now they were stained by them!
His anger grew stronger and stronger, and when Aze was about to come back after killing a circle and continue to look at Wang Jingzhi, he saw that the man who used to shrink his neck when looking at a mouse was now chasing the mouse with a hoe.
As the number of rat corpses increased, the fishy smell became stronger and stronger.
By the time Shen Wenchen noticed something was wrong, a thin layer of fog had already appeared in the air.
"Retreat to the village entrance! Prepare to light a fire!"
Seeing that some people were starting to slow down a bit, Shen Wenchen quickly stopped everyone's movements.
As he finished speaking, the soldiers in the army had already protected the villagers behind them and hurriedly retreated towards the entrance of the village.
All the soldiers moved in unison. With one hand, they untied the gourd containing wine and scattered it on the ground while retreating. With the other hand, they strangled the rats that were still trying to pounce on them.
The second master also noticed that something was wrong with the mist in the air, so he quickly took out a packet of medicinal powder from his pocket, and then sprinkled it in the air while holding back his heartache.
The villagers who were still a little confused just now felt that their minds suddenly became clear the moment they inhaled the medicinal powder, and then they all retreated when they realized what was happening.
After they had retreated about ten meters and everyone had exited the strange area, Shen Wenchen raised his hand, and the soldiers dropped the fire folders in their hands on the ground.
The moment Huozhezi hit the ground, flames burst out, and the burning flames blocked the rats that were trying to pounce.
Those corpses immediately burned when touched by a spark, and for a while a strange meaty aroma filled the air.
Having learned from the past, everyone learned wisely and covered their mouths and noses for fear of inhaling any more.
As if knowing that it was impossible to break through the layer of fire, the rats suddenly stood up straight, barked a few times in the direction of the crowd, and then turned around and disappeared into the fields.
Looking through the fire towards the mountain col, Shen Wenchen narrowed his eyes.
They suffered heavy casualties today, so it was a good time to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
"withdraw!"
Following his order, everyone poured into the village and no longer lingered.
"Everyone go back and rest for two hours. Let's go to the mountains to kill rats in the afternoon!"
"good!"
"good!"
There is no doubt that we have won a victory today, and everyone’s faces are full of pride.
Although this is not a battlefield to kill the enemy, how many people in the world have seen such a scene today?
In the past, people from the military camp would patrol the village with them and then get rid of the rats.
This is different today. If I had waited more than thirty years, this would be a glorious deed that I could tell my grandchildren!
"Second Master, I have to thank you for your hard work. We found a rat camp in the mountain col, and we would like to ask you to prepare some medicine."
Shen Wenchen said apologetically.
After all, it has always been troublesome for the second master to prepare them with rodent repellent, and later various medicines for injuries. Today, they have been working hard for so long, and they have to continue to trouble others.
No matter how thick-skinned he is, he still feels a little embarrassed.
"good."
Unexpectedly, the second master agreed very simply.
Just now he had spilled all his treasures, and now he was heartbroken. In this case, it would be better to just agree if he refused.
