Chapter 507
The remaining people hurriedly filled their stomachs and returned to the yard.
Afraid that the little baby would cause trouble again, this time Mother Lin simply took the four boys into her house.
The four boys slept in the main room, and she and the old man slept in the side room, so they could always be watched.
Sun Cui was pregnant, so Chen Qiulan lived in the same room with her. Worried about her safety, she didn't even let He Xiu leave.
Three women lived in the same house.
Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two of them were still chatting about past events as if they were in the village.
"Sister Nanzhi, you are so powerful."
"Why do you say that?"
Shen Miaomiao touched Nanzhi's swollen belly, her tone full of admiration.
"You can walk through such a difficult road."
"you can also."
Nanzhi held Shen Miaomiao's hand and said firmly.
The north of the city was originally a place where many wealthy families lived, but since they left Yancheng, no one has taken care of the empty houses.
At this point, many people started to think wrongly.
One after another, people moved into these vacant mansions.
Everything was normal at first, until Xiaomi discovered the He family's influx of rats a few days ago, and Nanzhi ordered them to move out of the area in the north of the city.
Some people listened, and naturally some people were dissatisfied.
Have been spending time with them.
There were not enough manpower in the city, and after a few days, they simply didn’t bother to care about them anymore.
He only told them to be careful of mice, but he didn't want to be provoked and insulted by the group of people.
Soldiers are not fools. After so many days of continuous rotation and the bad attitude of that group of people, they have already become angry.
Twice in a row, even the patrolmen stopped going there.
Just let them fend for themselves.
But those wealthy businessmen in the north of the city were not stupid. When they left Yancheng, they took all the valuables from home with them and disposed of everything else that was useless, leaving only empty houses and some useless things. Furniture accessories.
It was spacious, but there wasn't even a softer mattress, and not to mention the carbon, there weren't even many firewood. In the end, in order to be able to cook and eat, they even took down the table and chairs. Once the ignition was burned, there would be nothing left to keep the fire going over time, and it would be difficult for them to return to the original place.
I could only live in an old and small house when I returned home, but this place is spacious and magnificent!
If it were before, how could they live in such a big house?
As for firewood and charcoal for heating, we don’t have them here. They can steal them!
If you can't steal it, then grab it!
There are patrols in other places all day long, and the only people they can target are those who have the same idea of moving to the north of the city.
I tried it once or twice but it didn't work. I don't know who came up with the idea. They were just across the street and lived a stable life on the opposite side. They were both common people in Yancheng, but they didn't even have a piece of carbon for heating. .
The jealousy in their hearts grew stronger and stronger, and finally they decided to launch a riot tonight.
For nothing else, as long as they can get back the food and charcoal, they can live a good life.
As luck would have it, those who had the same idea as them were the mice who had been quietly petting them without appearing in large numbers.
As soon as they came out with hatchets and torches to charge, they heard countless squeaks coming from behind.
The sound of small and huge footsteps made people's hair stand on end. Some people had the intention to look back, only to see a black tide of rats running towards their direction.
Someone reacted slowly, and the next second he was bitten by a mouse on his ankle. After suffering the pain, he bent down unconsciously and never stood up again.
The rats swarmed up, and the black figure completely submerged him. In less than half a quarter of an hour, only the bloody bones of the man who had just been alive were left.
"run!"
Some people were so frightened that they took steps to get rid of them.
But the heavy clothes slowed down their movements, and the rats seemed to have not eaten enough and stared at them again.
The continuous screams were particularly harsh in the dark night. The people hiding in their homes closed their doors and windows tightly, and carefully sprinkled the five-poison powder sent by Nanzhi into the room again, just hoping to escape.
If there were men at home, they would let their wives, daughters, and children hide under the quilt, while he would hold various weapons, just waiting for those rats to break in and give them a fatal blow.
There was endless wailing in the north of the city, and the patrolmen heard it and hurried over.
That group of people was considered smart and sent a few people two streets away in advance to attract the guards' attention.
Cleverness can lead to mistakes, and it is precisely because of this that those few people were proud to leave a life behind.
The familiar stench became stronger and stronger, and Shen Wenchen's eyes were full of sternness.
Those mice, started.
A group of people rode horses and headed straight for the source of the wailing.
When they arrived, they saw countless rats gnawing and tearing at the bodies of those people.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the scene looked like hell.
Lin Ercheng's stomach was so weak that he almost vomited it out.
"Be careful."
Shen Wenchen whispered, then took out the sword he carried with him and flew into the group of rats with a tap of his toes.
There was no one left alive wherever he went, and the smell of blood combined with the faint stench of rats only made people feel sick.
"Cover your mouth and nose so you can't smell this smell."
Aze stayed in the village with Shen Wenchen for a long time, and he wanted to know more about these rats.
Seeing that he tore off his sleeves and used them to cover his mouth and nose, the two Lin brothers and Shen Yuntian also applied what they had learned and quickly took protective measures.
Smelling the bloody smell of the same kind, the mice became obviously more restless, and even looked around to find the source of the smell.
Under Shen Yuntian's shocked eyes, the rats quickly ran to the corpses of their kind, and then greedily devoured them.
Just wait for them to swallow a mouthful, and their bodies will grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two brothers from the Lin family had seen some of them during their days in the patrol team, but they didn't have much reaction. But Shen Yuntian had just returned from Ejiang. Where had he seen such a scene?
"Use fire, they are afraid of fire, just burn them clean!"
"good!"
Several people and the guards entered the "battlefield".
The moonlight was just right, and the bright white moonlight shone on the earth, illuminating the battlefield.
Chi Sheng still had the medicinal powder given to him by the second master in his arms. Seeing that the number of rats was increasing, he simply took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it. Then he opened the bamboo tube at his waist and poured the strong-smelling Qian Jin Liquor toward the rats. A splash in the direction of the group.
As soon as the fire was put down, the rats stained with alcohol burst into flames.
The scalding temperature made them confused, and the powder they sprinkled became even more intense when exposed to the heat. In just a short moment, many mice foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground dead.
