The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

Soon, another half a month passed. During this half month, Yu Haitang often came to Ma Hua's house. On the surface, she was visiting her brother-in-law, but in fact she was looking for an opportunity to get close to He Yuzhu.

Although He Yuzhu rejected her and told her that he would never get married in this life, she just wouldn't accept it because she firmly believed that her beauty could conquer any man.

Speaking of Shitou Village on the other side, it is a time of famine and most of the villagers have run out of food. At this time every year, the women in the village will take their children out to beg for food. They will not go home until new food comes in. So now, apart from the men, there are only thirteen educated youth in the village.

Speaking of educated youth, we have to mention Banggeng. When they first went to the countryside, the county issued each educated youth four months' rations according to the standard, which was enough for them to survive until the new grain came. However, the educated youth did not calculate these things. They all ate to their heart's content, especially Banggeng, who finished all his rations in less than two months.

After eating his own rations, Banggeng realized something was wrong. He also knew that the next ration distribution would be two months later. He could still hold back the day before it started! Because he knew that the educated youths didn't like him, he couldn't help it and went to borrow food from them. But the twelve educated youths above were not willing to lend him food. They didn't have enough. Now they also found that they couldn't eat like before. They all ate sparingly and learned from the villagers to find wild vegetables and mix them with cornmeal to barely survive. How could they lend food to Banggeng?

After being rejected, Banggeng couldn't bear it any longer, so he went to the village chief's house to borrow food. As a result, he was scolded and driven out by the village chief. He was almost beaten. The village chief scolded him for eating and spraying, which was a waste. It would be better to distribute the food to the villagers. If it was distributed to any family in the village, it would be enough to last for four months. He wasted it in two months by himself.

There was no other way, Banggeng could only follow others and go up to the slope to dig wild vegetables to eat. However, the wild vegetables on the mountain had already been picked up, and it would take a whole day to find enough to fill his stomach. Finally, there was no other way, so Banggeng imitated the herbivores and ate whatever was available, as long as it was green.

After taking it for a few days, Bang Geng started to feel dizzy and his face was pale and swollen. But it was not without benefits, at least he hadn't sprayed for several days.

In June, he wrote a letter to Qin Huairu, but the letter fell into the sea and there was no response.

Later, Banggeng felt that he would starve to death if he continued like this, and he didn't want to die. He still had to get married, and wait for Jia Zhang to retire and take over his job. And the Jia family's house all belonged to him. If he could just hold on for a few more years, he would be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Stimulated by a strong desire to survive, he set his sights on the small animals.

After analyzing it, Bang Geng decided to target animals such as mice and voles, because other animals were very rare and he couldn't catch them.

After figuring it out, Banggeng took a shovel and went up the hill to find rat holes and started digging. It's true, although Banggeng was always scolded by the village chief for his work, he was quite talented at doing this kind of work. Within a few days, Banggeng summed up a set of experience in catching rats through practice, such as fumigating with fire, pouring water, setting lassoes, and digging traps. Sometimes, he could even dig out some food from the rat holes.

Just like that, half a month later, Banggeng came back to life and his face regained color, because now he was the only one in the village who could eat meat, although it was rat meat.

At noon that day, Banggeng came down from the hill behind the educated youth site, carrying a bunch of mice. In addition to the mice, he was also carrying two kilograms of wheat, which he got after robbing the granary of a nest of mice.

After returning to his own shabby kiln, Banggeng put down the food and started to catch the mice. He boiled water, removed the hair, and cut open their stomachs. He was quite skilled at it.

After a while, Banggeng washed and peeled a few mice and wrapped them in the leaves he picked up, wrapping them layer by layer perfectly. Then he covered them with mud and stuffed them in the kitchen, because he wanted to make chipmunks today.

At the same time, in the room of the educated youth less than 50 meters away from Banggeng, Zhao Fei drank a sip of cold water and said, "Brothers, we don't have much food left. We can only hold out for another week at most. After a week, we will have nothing to eat."

"Who said it wasn't? I'm so hungry that I can't even walk. Fortunately, I don't have to work now." Wang Zhen agreed.

"Hey! There's still another month and a half before the food can be distributed! And it's hard to say how much we can get in this poor place that depends on the weather for food. Let's discuss what we should do?" Liu Wei said.

"I can't bear it anymore. My family sent me some money. I will go to the town tomorrow to see if there is anything I can buy to eat." Lan Dajiang said.

"Do you have national food coupons?" Chen Baoguo said speechlessly.

"If I don't have it, I can buy it at a high price on the black market. I don't believe that I can't get it even if I have money." Lan Dajiang said.

"How long can you last with that little money? I think we still have to think of a long-term solution. We need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure," said Chen Baoguo.

As they were chatting, a scent drifted into their room.

Feng Dayong sniffed and said, "Damn, it smells so good. The Rat King has started eating again on time. It smells so good that I want to eat it."

"Ugh, ugh, ugh..." Lan Dajiang started vomiting desperately again.

Seeing this scene, the people around were no longer surprised. Whenever someone said it was time for the Rat King to eat, he would vomit. This has been going on for half a month.

"Dajiang, it's been half a month and you're still not used to it?" Zhao Fei said with a smile.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you. Don't mention the Rat King in front of me anymore. You guys chat. I'm going to the lesbians next door to talk to them for a while."

After saying that, Lan Dajiang slipped away immediately. He knew that these people would discuss the Rat King again, and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to vomit when he thought about eating rats.

"What a shame! It's just eating a rat. The Man-Rat King has gained weight recently." Feng Dayong said contemptuously.

"Dayong, if you really dare to eat it, then go and catch it!" Chen Baoguo said with a smile.

"You think I haven't thought about it? But I can't catch it. I've tried everything," Feng Dayong said. "I saw the Rat King a few days ago. He was holding some food in his hand. I asked him where he got it from. He said he dug it from a rat hole. So I thought if I could also dig some food, I ended up digging a few holes before I found a rat, and it ran away."

"You kid, I thought you ran away a few days ago." Chen Baoguo laughed, "So you want to be the Rat King too! But is it true that the Rat King can dig up food?"

"Of course, I saw it all, it was all wheat and corn seeds," said Feng Dayong.

"Serve the country, do you mean we should also go dig for food?" Liu Wei asked.

"I do have this idea. We don't eat mice, but we can eat food! Every bit we dig up counts, it's better than doing nothing!" said Chen Baoguo.

"That's right," Liu Wei said, "How about we go find the Rat King and learn from him?"
