末世 二三 事
Chapter 42
The duck opened its wings and jumped above the crowd, constantly flapping and disturbing the sight of a group of people, the long neck angrily smashed at the crowd, the seemingly fragile but extremely hard mouth would leave pain on people when it fell Taking advantage of the short-term panic of those people, Yaya used the group of people as a pedal, jumped to the back of the crowd in a few strokes, and attacked the two people who were about to climb over the wall to get out.
And Guagua had already jumped in from outside the fence. When it rolled its tongue, it wrapped around a person's calf, and then dragged the person down from the fence.
Jing Lin's movements were not too slow. Before those people could react, he grabbed the knee of the person in front and pressed hard against the opponent's abdomen. He heard the opponent's cry of pain, and was thrown into the wall .
Others attacked Jing Lin at the same time, almost all of them had knives in their hands.
Because of getting up suddenly from the bed, Jing Lin only wore light pajamas and stepped on the ground with bare feet.The living room was too narrow, and it was difficult to move when there were too many people fighting. His arms, legs and back were cut several times.
He felt cold all over his body, but his heart was burning with fire.Stick to the place where he is standing and do not move. Lele is outside. He must not let anyone pass. Anyone who steps over this line will beat them to the ground first, even at the risk of being injured by a knife. Let's talk next.
When Yan Fei was woken up by the sound, he didn't know what happened to the family. It wasn't until he left the house and heard the sound that it didn't come from the center of the village that he guessed that something happened to Jing Lin's house.His heart skipped a beat at the time, and he ran out of the house in his pajamas all the way, and lost one of his slippers. The road was not smooth, but he didn't feel any pain when he stepped on it.
"Uncle! Come and save my uncle!"
When he ran to Jing Lin's house, he heard Lele's terrified crying from inside the fence.
"Lele!" Yan Fei yelled towards the inside, and then stretched out his hand to push the door of Jing Lin's house.
"Not uncle!" The knocking sound stopped, and Lele cried even louder when she saw the savior coming.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to kick the door!" The door is wooden and locked from the inside.Yan Fei slammed several times in a row, and finally opened the door. At this time, Mimi arrived second with Tang Tang on her back.
"Uncle Fei!" Lele pounced on Yan Fei, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, shivering from the cold like ice.
"Don't be afraid!" Yan Fei patted his head hastily, before he had time to comfort him, he pushed Lele to Tang Tang, and kicked towards the living room door by himself.
When Tang Tang was grabbed from the bed by Mimi, she only had time to wrap a quilt. Seeing Lele wearing pajamas, she hurriedly got off Mimi's body, and wrapped Lele in her arms with the quilt.
Inside the gate, the living room was in chaos. There were several people lying on the ground, some were silent, and some were moaning unconsciously.Jing Lin stood in the living room like a blood man, holding a man in a daze and shaking his fist, but he still didn't let go of the man who had passed out.
Yaya jumped around beside him, seeming to stop him too.
"Ah Lin!" Yan Fei felt a pain in his heart, and rushed over to grab Jing Lin's waving hand again.
"Ah!" Jing Lin yelled, turned around and wanted to punch Yan Fei with the other hand, but was also held by Yan Fei.
Yan Fei held him firmly in his arms, stroked his head, and kept comforting him: "It's okay, Ah Lin, it's okay, everyone has been knocked down by you."
Jing Lin panted heavily in his arms, seemed to feel a familiar breath, finally gave up struggling and calmed down, and it took a while to confirm: "Afei?"
"A Lin, it's me." Yan Fei held Jing Lin's face in his hands, and under the dim candlelight, the two looked at each other, allowing Jing Lin to see his face clearly.
"Where's Lele?"
"Lele is fine, he is safe."
"Ah Lin!" Zhao Zhiwen rushed in from the outside, and when he saw Jing Lin covered in blood being hugged by Yan Fei, he was startled, "Where did you get hurt?"
Only then did Yan Fei feel the stickiness of his hands, which were covered with blood from Jing Lin's body.He also became frightened now, and quickly let go of Jing Lin.
The awakened people in the village came one after another, and everyone carried oil lamps to illuminate the area brightly.No one expected that someone in the village would be robbed. Some people helped to see Jing Lin's injuries, while others went to tie up the gangsters.
Looking at the seven kidnappers who were beaten beyond recognition and lay unconscious on the ground, everyone was shocked by Jing Lin's fighting power.Later, two gangsters were found in the backyard. One gangster was unconscious, with few good pieces of flesh on his face, and his hands and legs were abnormally bent, while the other was dead, with a broken neck and a strangle mark on it. , Knowing that this is the result of the battle between Yaya and Quack, I was even more shocked.
There was no fatal wound on Jing Lin's body, but there were many large and small wounds, some of which were so deep that the bones could be seen.When Zhao Anguo was treating his wound, Lele was crying and belching beside him wrapped in a quilt.
Jing Lin's face was pale, and while enduring the pain, he kept touching his head, comforting him one after another.His little nephew, who is less than six years old, why does he always go through these things.
After all the people were tied up, Ma Chunzheng walked in with a sullen face. Ma Renshan asked, "Do you have any impression of these people?"
"They're all tied up. I know one of them. It's Shi Lei from Team [-]."
"That Shi Lei who even beat his own parents?"
"It's him."
Few people here in Chashanling don't know about Shi Lei. Before junior high school, his parents worked outside, and his grandma couldn't control him. He followed some social people and didn't learn well. Afterwards, it got worse. When he ran out of money, he would ask his parents for it. If he could not steal it, he would steal it from someone else’s house. He also injured his neighbor and ran away because he was found out. His parents refused to let him go. After recognizing this son, Shi Lei didn't come back for many years after that.
Ma Chunzheng recognized Shi Lei, it was because the two were students in the same class, and had been in the same class in elementary school.
The world was in chaos, and Shi Lei also came back from the outside. After all, he was born by himself. Although his parents were extremely disappointed with him, they did not say that they would not let him live at home.After the autumn harvest, the weather suddenly turned cold. People in their village also went to look for mulch, but there were not many of them, and each family looked for it. Although they went out together, it was whoever was quick. For this reason, there were many conflicts, and the neighborhood relationship was very rigid and bad.
When everyone was busy making a living, Shi Lei was still doing nothing, but every time he went out, he always brought back a lot of things, and Shi Lei's parents kept silent about it.Everyone in the village is well aware of this, and after covering the plastic film and the fact that the wheat does not grow, the whole village panicked.Someone sneaked up to Shi Lei and expressed that he would work with him.
The targets of Shi Lei's attacks are all those with small families.Originally, he followed others to do it, but later he took a few people from the village to be his younger brothers and started working alone. After the winter, they have succeeded in several cases, and the stolen things are enough for them and their families to eat for a whole year. I have been to the rebellion of the master's house, so everyone has seen blood.
Before Jing Lin returned to the village, people from other teams had seen it more or less, and many people outside knew about Jing Lin living with a nephew.Shi Lei found out about Jing Lin's situation from nowhere, and asked about the approximate location of his home, and got entangled with several people who sneaked over in the middle of the night.
After Shi Lei came back, he attacked other people many times, and he never returned empty-handed every time. He was quite confident in his own skills.It's just that this time he was unlucky, met Jing Lin who had already practiced his skills, and there was a big white goose at home with not low combat effectiveness and a helper who came back halfway.
In the courtyard of Jinglin's house, the heads of every household in the village gathered together. Ma Renshan took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked at the crowd with frowning, and asked, "How do you deal with these people?"
"You have to ask Jing Lin about this." Someone said, after all, Jing Lin was the victim.
Yan Fei looked at that person, "Now this matter is not about Jing Lin alone. Life is hard, this kind of thing happens twice, this time only nine came, and it was only Jing Lin who broke into his house .Then when more people come next time, will they only focus on one family? If Jing Lin didn’t stand up and resist today, can you guess his ending?”
Now that there is no police in charge, the ferocity of some people has also been aroused. In order to survive, what can't be done?This was the case at the beginning of the troubled times, what if the situation became more severe later on.I don't know how long this situation will last, maybe it will be better next year, maybe it won't be better in ten years, so Yan Fei said in an exaggerated way, it is not uncommon for bandits to slaughter villages in ancient times.
Yan Fei also said: "We have already asked a question just now. Maybe you all know that the crops stopped growing. This situation did not only happen in our village, but it happened in almost all places. But! The crops continued to grow later, It only happened in our village."
This means that there is no need for Yan Fei to say anything, and people with quick brains will quickly figure it out, and everyone has a bad face.
If this continues, then the next summer harvest in their village will be the time when other villages will have no harvest.You have food to eat, but others have nothing to eat. If the news is known to others, your village will definitely be a big piece of fat in the eyes of others. At that time, everyone coveted their village's food, and even their village's land.
It is a relatively optimistic idea to unite to drive them out and take the land for themselves.But everyone knows, if that time really comes, will others be so kind and let go of the original owner who was robbed by them?
No, everyone said to themselves in their hearts.
Putting an end to the other party's chance to comeback is to completely obliterate it.
A chill came from the bottom of everyone's heart, one was frightened by their own speculation, and the other was frightened by Yan Fei's intentions.They already knew that these gangsters would not be able to get out alive tonight, and they would be the ones who killed the gangsters.
Even though I already guessed it in my heart, someone still asked: "Then... what should I do?"
Yan Fei didn't speak, his aura was too cold and frightening, he turned and walked into the room, and everyone followed unconsciously.
Shi Lei is that short and thin man, he was splashed with cold water on his face and woke up again from his coma.He had just been woken up for questioning.
He groaned in pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was surrounded by many people. He knew that he had fallen this time, and Shi Lei was not a stubborn person, so he immediately cried and begged for mercy. It's a good deal, this is the experience he gained from his years of traveling abroad, the so-called good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and he just looks for opportunities to get back later.And the reason why he stole the food from the nearby farmers was because most of the rural people were honest, so even if he found out, he would be beaten up at most, and he would be fine in bed for a few days.
But this time he was wrong.
Jing Lin's whole body was covered with bandages, wrapped in a coat and supported by Zhao Zhiwen, he walked out, looked down at Shi Lei, saw that there was still luck in his eyes, and smiled coldly.
The night was as thick as ink, and the moon was hidden at some point.
The eight gangsters who were still alive were gagged, and those who could not walk were lifted up.Shi Lei, the only one who could walk, had his hands tied behind his back, whining in panic, and was being pushed and pushed forward.
The villagers who came out with oil lamps walked in silence, the atmosphere was very strange.Although some people are walking forward, their eyes are straightened, and they don't know what they are thinking.Some people were trembling all over and wanted to run away from here.
Finally, the villagers came to the fish pond of Zhao Zhiwen's house and put him on the bank. Shi Lei was pressed down and knelt on the spot. He must have guessed something, and tears kept streaming down his face.
Jing Lin stood up, Zhao Zhiwen and Yan Fei stood on both sides of him.Ever since the dagger was swiped past his neck, Jing Lin's psychology has changed a lot.
Yan Fei suddenly grabbed his right hand, which was also covered with bandages, and asked him softly, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Jing Lin said, he didn't break away from Yan Fei's hand, he knew that at this moment, Yan Fei was comforting himself and at the same time convincing himself.
Zhao Zhiwen was trembling, but Jing Lin grabbed his hand, and Jing Lin said to him, "Zhiwen, think about Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhou."
"I know." Zhao Zhiwen said, he gave a distorted smile in the night, he knew what they were going to do next, "I'm just a little nervous, I'm fine."
There were fish in the pond, mullet with sharp teeth.After one successful catch, Jinglin and the others failed to catch one after many attempts. They are very smart and already know how to avoid fishing nets.
There was a "plop", the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.Jing Lin and the three of them withdrew their feet at the same time, looking indifferently at Shi Lei who was struggling in the water.
Two mullets suddenly appeared, one left and one right bit Shi Lei's neck, and quickly dragged him into the bottom of the water.
They are about to have a feast.
The remaining seven people were placed on the shore one by one.Smelling the smell of blood, there were a few more mullets, circling back and forth in the water, even splashing water and trying to jump ashore to bite.
Yan Fei asked, "Who will come next?"
"I'll do it." Ma Chunzheng stood up. Behind him, Ma Renshan wanted to reach out his hand to hold him, but halfway through, he retracted it tremblingly, and turned his head, not daring to look again.
"We're coming, too." Ma Chunkang and his brothers took a step forward. The two of them were much calmer than ordinary people. They had experienced a lot of hardships on the way home. Although they were afraid of human life, they were also much indifferent.
Another person was pushed into the fish pond, and was dragged into the bottom of the water in an instant by the mullet that rushed over.
Most of the people who followed were those who came back from outside.
Li Feiyu and Gao Changhui cried, they couldn't do it, but no one forced them.
As a doctor, Zhao Shaoqian has seen too many lives and deaths. As long as he doesn't care about himself and his relatives, his heart is always colder than others.
In the end, including the dead nine gangsters, all were pushed into the fish pond.
That night, Yan Fei moved to Jinglin's house with his quilt and pillows in his arms. He also lived on the first floor, opposite to Jinglin's bedroom.
"We can rest assured that Yan Fei is with you." Zhou Yu said that she had proposed to let Jing Lin bring Lele to live with them, but Jing Lin refused, saying that even if they moved there, Zhao Zhiwen If you get married and have to move back, don't bother with that.
"That's right." Zhou Feifei echoed, "If Ah Fei was here tonight, how could you be injured like that?" The child didn't even hum.
Jing Lin didn't object either. Compared to Lele's safety, having one more person in the family was nothing, and everyone could feel more at ease with them.Especially when he is covered in injuries like this now, having one more person really makes him feel at ease.
After that night, Lele also had a high fever because she was frozen for a long time, and Jing Lin also had a very high fever for a while because of excessive blood loss.
As for the people in the village who participated that night, many of them had nightmares for several days after going back, and some even suffered a serious illness, but after that, their aura and eyes changed somewhat.
The fish pond in the village has become a forbidden area, and no one wants to go near it anymore.Many people also began to fear Yan Fei and Jing Lin. After all, it was Yan Fei who proposed to feed those people to fish, and Jing Lin seconded it.
The two of them didn't feel much about this, and they didn't have anything to do with the people in the village, neither of them lived in the opinions of others, and their lives were still the same as before, but when the time came for them to practice the mental method increased.Combat battles are not just two-to-two fights, they will fight with four people, or practice two-on-two, three-on-one, and it is no longer a point-and-shoot. Sometimes after a battle, several people will have more or less A little scrape.
This morning, when Yan Fei was washing up, he saw three toothbrush cups of himself, Jing Lin and Lele put together on the washstand, two big and one small, like a family, very warm.When he opened the door and came out, Jing Lin had already finished training and was chopping lettuce to feed the chickens.
Jing Lin turned his head to look at him, saw that he was very happy with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Yan Fei: "It's dawn."
The little host, Lele, walked beside Yan Fei, chattering to Yan Fei about what dream he had last night. He seemed to talk a lot, but Yan Fei didn't hesitate, and listened carefully to what Lele had to say, and responded to the two questions from time to time. sentence.
Duck and Ya also stepped on their two big feet and followed.Geese have webbed feet, and ducks and ducks not only have webbed feet, but also have very sharp claws, otherwise they would not be able to tear off a piece of each other's skin with a single grasp.After the moulting period is over, it has been growing very fast recently, almost every few days, and it not only eats a lot, but also picky eaters. It doesn't like to eat vegetables and leaves. Its dinner plate has been changed from a small bowl to a large bowl. The amount of one meal is Jing Lin's two meals. The rice at home is grown very fast, and Jing Lin is also worried about this. It is also troublesome to have such an edible goose at home.
Don't worry about quacking, it's completely self-sufficient.
Zhao Zhiwen came to give Jing Lin the new rice that he and Zhao Chenghuai had just ground today, a bag just harvested this year, grind it out and taste it.
Seeing Lele and Yan Fei talking and laughing, Zhao Zhiwen said sourly, "Why is Lele so attached to you now?"
Yan Fei smiled and squeezed Lele's small face, "I'm probably more handsome."
Zhao Zhiwen touched his face, well, he is indeed not as handsome as Yan Fei.
In fact, everyone understands this transformation of Lele. Yan Fei was the first to appear in front of Lele that night. There is no time to do it.
Yan Fei also regretted why he didn't run faster that night, so that Jing Lin might be less injured.
Several people were discussing what to have for lunch when they suddenly heard the sound of an urgent assembly.
After that night, Ma Renshan hung a gong under his sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When something happened in the village, he would ring it and let the villagers pay attention.
Jing Lin and the others stopped talking immediately and closed the door to go out, knowing that Ma Renshan had something to notify.
As soon as they arrived at Ma Renshan's house, they saw a stranger with blood on his face sitting slumped under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree crying, and everyone came forward to ask what happened.
"Our village was destroyed by rats, and many people died!" The person who said it was a woman in her fifties. Her face was covered with blood. He saw her fear in his eyes.There was also a piece of flesh missing from her neck, which made her look a little scary, and the padded jacket on her body was also torn a few times, exposing the inner lining.Liu Suqin rubbed medicine on her side to stop the bleeding, and kept crying.
It turned out that this person was Liu Suqin's biological mother, Li Guihua, a villager from Chashanling No. [-] team.In the early morning of their village, a group of huge rats suddenly sprang out. There were so many of them that they would bite anyone they saw. When Li Guihua escaped, many people in the village had already been killed on the spot.
Knowing from her mouth that none of Liu Yinghua's natal family survived, Liu Yinghua passed out on the spot.
Li Guihua and her daughter Liu Suqin who married here are the only ones left in Li Guihua's family. She has no relatives elsewhere. She fled from the second team all the way with injuries all over her body, and did not enter the village until noon.
"It's such a big mouse, bigger than a cat. It can't be shaken off when it jumps on people. Once pulled, it becomes a piece of meat." Li Guihua cried and said, "There are so many people in the village, many people were thrown to the ground, and a group of mice rushed to the ground." I got up, but I didn't get up anymore, the Liu family's daughter is only five years old, and her stomach has been bitten through."
The sight was a nightmare played out in hell.
"Mom, stop talking, just be quiet for a while." Liu Suqin saw that her mother had lost her mind, so she quickly told her to shut up so that she would not continue to think about those pictures.
"It's scary, it's scary!" Li Guihua hugged her arms and curled herself into a ball.
"What should I do?" Ma Renshan asked everyone.
"If it doesn't work, it might come to our village one day." Zhao Shaoqian said.
"But the number is too much. Judging from Aunt Li's dictation, at least a hundred." Tang Hao said, if you want to eradicate rats, you must rely on the people in their village.
Jing Lin could set up a magic array to defend against ordinary mice, but those were obviously not ordinary mice.And even if it can be prevented, can it be left alone?Wait until they slaughter all the nearby villages, and then?Sooner or later they set their sights on their village.Wuyu said that he could deter other monsters and protect their village, but Wuyu also said that he would transform into a dragon in the future, and he would leave sooner or later.
At this time, Jing Lin thought of what the old man had said back then, and he said, "Do you still remember that Third Master Cao? That bastard leader who took over a small piece of law and order in the county town."
"Remember." Yan Fei and several others said at the same time, "Third Master Cao seems to have also exterminated rats in the county town. Not to mention that many people died, and many rats escaped."
"It's very likely that the mice in the second team are the same group that Cao Sanye once dealt with, and they came here."
So the big guys discussed it, because Mr. Cao already had experience in dealing with mutant mice, they could talk to Mr. Cao.Of course, they also considered that Mr. Cao would definitely not help in vain. As for the issue of remuneration, they can talk to the village chiefs of several nearby villages. It is related to everyone's life and death. For the sake of long-term survival, we will not be reluctant to give up a little food.
The first thing to do was to inform the nearby villages. Because they were afraid of encountering rats on the road, all men in the village who could go had to go. A total of more than 40 young and middle-aged men gathered together. I brought something easy to satisfy my hunger.Cats are the natural enemies of mice, Tang Hao took Mimi with him by the way, and when he was leaving, the three kittens, who were already half the size of their mothers, followed them stickily, and their meows and meows rubbed against everyone legs coquettish.
There were three more helpers who could catch mice, and everyone was more than happy to let the three little ones follow.
The world after winter is much more depressed than in the past, but there are only a few withered vegetation, and most of them are still unchanged in summer.The village team that passed by along the way, Jinglin, they all told someone about the rat infestation, and asked those people to tell their village chief to inform the villagers to prepare for the delivery of food, and to give an answer within an hour .Of course, it doesn’t matter if there are villages that you don’t want to. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask them to help them. Whether you help them depends on the situation.
So for this reason, Jing Lin and the others have been busy all day, and the villagers who have been notified are basically willing to pay for food, and some villages even gave out people.
The next day, they went to the city to look for Mr. Cao. Because they didn't know the exact location of Mr. Cao, Jing Lin and the others went to the area where they passed by Xinwan Town at that time, and planned to ask someone.
By such a coincidence, they met the old man from that time again.
Compared with the last time I saw him, the uncle was even thinner, his cheeks were sunken and almost lost his flesh, and he was not as energetic as last time. He was wearing a dirty cotton coat and was picking green grass tips by the side of the road.
"Master? Do you still remember me?" Yan Fei walked up and felt a little sour when he looked at the uncle.
The old man has a good memory, and Yan Fei also drove the carriage this time, so the old man was very impressed with him. He put the grass tip in his hand into his pocket and said, "I remember you, you have entered the city again ? What are you doing here this time?"
Yan Fei said: "We want to find Mr. Cao, but we don't know where he lives. Do you know? Can you take us there?"
"Okay, I just happen to have nothing to do, old man." The uncle readily agreed, and his attitude towards people and things was as enthusiastic as ever, and he didn't seem to be affected by this troubled world.
"I'll help you get into the carriage, be careful where you step." Seeing the old man, Jing Lin thought of his grandfather, and went up to help him get into the carriage.
"It's so warm in the car." The uncle got into the car and rubbed his hands that were red from the cold.
Jing Lin asked him, "What are you doing with these grass tips?"
"Eat." The uncle said with a smile, "It's hard to live. Everyone is hungry. The taste of these grasses is a bit unpalatable, but they won't kill you, and they can fill your stomach."
"How is the situation in the city now?" Yan Fei asked.
"It's difficult." The uncle said, "The things planted don't grow long, and many people left, saying that it's too cold here, and went to City K, saying that the weather there has always been mild, and the probability of survival may be lower. bigger."
"Haven't you thought about leaving?" Jing Lin asked.
"You can't go, the little old man's grandson is still out as a soldier and hasn't come back yet, so we have to wait for him here." The uncle said, and then said to Yan Fei who was driving the car: "Turn left, go up Hechuan Road and walk to the end, there is a car driver there." The school, Mr. Cao and his subordinates live there."
The big iron gate of the driving school was closed, and there were two newly built watchtowers next to it, with a person standing on each of them. When they saw Yan Fei's convoy, he signaled them not to go any further, and stopped in place.
"Who are you?" asked the man on the left.
"We are from the village below the county seat, and we want to ask Mr. Cao to do something." Yan Fei said.
"Put the car in the open space over there, and you can only enter after you come and search." The management is quite strict.
After everyone was searched and no one was found hiding weapons, Yan Fei and the others were put in.
Because there were a lot of people coming, Cao Sanye got the news immediately and asked people to take them directly to his reception room.
"I heard that you are looking for me?" Mr. Cao is a middle-aged man of medium height, and his demeanor looks quite decent. He doesn't know why he went to prison.When he spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally he stopped his eyes on Yan Fei.
Yan Fei didn't talk too much, and went straight to the topic: "I heard that Mr. Cao once dealt with a rat problem?"
Third Master Cao’s pupils shrank, "Have you encountered a rat problem?" The trip to exterminate rats was the biggest loss among all the missions he set out. Many brothers were involved in that mission, and many rats ran away. Now Thinking about it, Mr. Cao was still very upset, he kept his hatred in mind, and when he had a chance, he must kill those rats.
Yan Fei said: "We met next door, out of more than 100 people, only a few escaped."
Mr. Cao sat down on the chair and said: "Since you can find this place, you should know that you can't ask me to do things without getting paid."
"It's natural." Yan Fei said, "Several villages near us jointly contribute, one person contributes ten catties, and the remuneration of several hundred people should be able to hire Cao Sanye, right?"
This was much more than the reward he would get for a mission in the county. Third Master Cao agreed immediately without thinking too much about it.One is that the remuneration offered by the other party is indeed not small, and the other is that he has been stepping up the training of his brothers all the time, just to wait for revenge. He searched the entire county before and found no trace of rats. down.
The food has been prepared, in order not to give the rats any chance to hurt people, Cao Sanye immediately asked people to gather the brothers, bring the guys who have been preparing for a long time, and prepare for the battle.
Act with a bit of military style.
There are more than 50 people who follow Mr. Cao, all of whom are more or less skilled.These days, the means of travel are almost the same, either bicycles or tricycles, and what is a little worse is a push scooter with two legs.
Before leaving the county seat, Jing Lin and the others deliberately sent the old man to the community where he lived, and gave him a few bags of biscuits hidden in his coat.
The old man refused to take it, knowing that the world is difficult now, he is not willing to take advantage of the younger generation, and he is willing to help them guide the way without asking for any reward.However, after arguing, the two of Jing Lin couldn't hold back in the end. Looking at the two juniors who put down their things and left, the uncle held the biscuit and his eyes were red. grandson.
Leaving aside the uncle, when Jinglin and the others came, there were people from other villages, so the number increased to 50. When they returned, they added more than 100 people from Cao Sanye, and they suddenly exceeded [-]. The group was mighty. Walking on the road from the county town to the countryside is very spectacular.
The group went directly to Li Guihua's village, led by Ma Mingliang, who was the only one in the village who knew where the village was.
When he was about to approach the village, Mr. Cao ordered his men to pick up a bucket of red liquid from the car and start pouring it along the way.
"It's chicken blood." Mr. Cao took the initiative to explain, "These rats don't eat bloody things now. When I met them last time, the nearby residents didn't lose any food at all, but many people kept them on the top floor. All the poultry have been seeded, and some residents live in a lower place and they will break in through the windows, so many residents are eaten alive by rats."
Not bloody, except for plants and trees, the rest are bloody things, and human beings have become a meal on their diet.
When they arrived in the village, everyone was shocked by the scene they saw.
The whole village was very quiet, no human voice could be heard, there were no living people left, blood was everywhere on the ground, many pieces of clothes were scattered, and there were many human bones and hair.There are also some bloody drag marks, extending into the grass and being submerged.
Except for a few who escaped successfully, the rest of the villagers were all buried in the mouth of rats.
These beasts!
Cao Sanye said: "The taste of these mice has changed, but their habits have not changed. They are hoarding food all the time, and they will drag back and hide in their hiding places if they can't finish eating at that time."
So those drag marks are the corpses of humans who were killed by rats but didn't finish eating them and stored them as food.
After hearing Mr. Cao's words, everyone was afraid for a while. Fortunately, they acted immediately after hearing the news, and the mouse didn't seem to act in the past two days. Thinking that one step later, I might be fed to mice or stored up as food, I felt a chill in my body.
He also hated these inhuman beasts even more.
"The noses of these mice have become very sensitive. If the chicken blood is spilled and there is wind, they will soon be able to smell it. However, in broad daylight, they generally do not move, so tonight, we will live here, and they will definitely Will come out." Cao Sanye said, because he was paid to do things, so Yan Fei and the others were also his employers, he reminded: "Those who are afraid can leave here, of course those who are not afraid want to stay, I will I don’t object, but life and death are at your own risk.”
People from other villages left immediately.
Jinglin and the others planned to participate in the battle against rats from the very beginning, so all four of them stayed, and at the same time, everyone who fought the crocodile together last time also stayed. people inside.And the people in their village who originally wanted to leave were embarrassed to leave, some thought about it, but stayed willingly, and some wanted to leave but did not dare to leave because there were few people, so they stayed unwillingly. With the addition of Mimi and the three cats, all the people who came out of their village this time stayed.
For this, Cao Sanye expressed his appreciation: "The people in your village are all good. In this world, people who hide behind their backs will not live long. You still have to be strong."
There were still more than three hours before it got dark, and Mr. Cao asked the brothers to eat more to fill their stomachs, and to store their strength would be more conducive to fighting.The rations that Jing Lin and Yan Fei brought out today were all given to the old man. Fortunately, Zhao Zhiwen brought more because he had to participate in the extermination of rats, so it was enough for them to eat.
The group of Mr. Cao, who were full of food and drink, began to dig out the armor and weapons they had specially made for rat control.Gloves and knee pads wrapped in iron sheets, iron sheets were also sewn behind the heart, and an iron mask was worn on the face, exposing the eyes, nose and mouth, and even the neck was tightly covered, which shows that Mr. Cao is exterminating rodents. The determination is great, and the preparation is sufficient.
Cao Sanye said: "The teeth and claws of mice are very sharp, these iron sheets are still
And Guagua had already jumped in from outside the fence. When it rolled its tongue, it wrapped around a person's calf, and then dragged the person down from the fence.
Jing Lin's movements were not too slow. Before those people could react, he grabbed the knee of the person in front and pressed hard against the opponent's abdomen. He heard the opponent's cry of pain, and was thrown into the wall .
Others attacked Jing Lin at the same time, almost all of them had knives in their hands.
Because of getting up suddenly from the bed, Jing Lin only wore light pajamas and stepped on the ground with bare feet.The living room was too narrow, and it was difficult to move when there were too many people fighting. His arms, legs and back were cut several times.
He felt cold all over his body, but his heart was burning with fire.Stick to the place where he is standing and do not move. Lele is outside. He must not let anyone pass. Anyone who steps over this line will beat them to the ground first, even at the risk of being injured by a knife. Let's talk next.
When Yan Fei was woken up by the sound, he didn't know what happened to the family. It wasn't until he left the house and heard the sound that it didn't come from the center of the village that he guessed that something happened to Jing Lin's house.His heart skipped a beat at the time, and he ran out of the house in his pajamas all the way, and lost one of his slippers. The road was not smooth, but he didn't feel any pain when he stepped on it.
"Uncle! Come and save my uncle!"
When he ran to Jing Lin's house, he heard Lele's terrified crying from inside the fence.
"Lele!" Yan Fei yelled towards the inside, and then stretched out his hand to push the door of Jing Lin's house.
"Not uncle!" The knocking sound stopped, and Lele cried even louder when she saw the savior coming.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to kick the door!" The door is wooden and locked from the inside.Yan Fei slammed several times in a row, and finally opened the door. At this time, Mimi arrived second with Tang Tang on her back.
"Uncle Fei!" Lele pounced on Yan Fei, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, shivering from the cold like ice.
"Don't be afraid!" Yan Fei patted his head hastily, before he had time to comfort him, he pushed Lele to Tang Tang, and kicked towards the living room door by himself.
When Tang Tang was grabbed from the bed by Mimi, she only had time to wrap a quilt. Seeing Lele wearing pajamas, she hurriedly got off Mimi's body, and wrapped Lele in her arms with the quilt.
Inside the gate, the living room was in chaos. There were several people lying on the ground, some were silent, and some were moaning unconsciously.Jing Lin stood in the living room like a blood man, holding a man in a daze and shaking his fist, but he still didn't let go of the man who had passed out.
Yaya jumped around beside him, seeming to stop him too.
"Ah Lin!" Yan Fei felt a pain in his heart, and rushed over to grab Jing Lin's waving hand again.
"Ah!" Jing Lin yelled, turned around and wanted to punch Yan Fei with the other hand, but was also held by Yan Fei.
Yan Fei held him firmly in his arms, stroked his head, and kept comforting him: "It's okay, Ah Lin, it's okay, everyone has been knocked down by you."
Jing Lin panted heavily in his arms, seemed to feel a familiar breath, finally gave up struggling and calmed down, and it took a while to confirm: "Afei?"
"A Lin, it's me." Yan Fei held Jing Lin's face in his hands, and under the dim candlelight, the two looked at each other, allowing Jing Lin to see his face clearly.
"Where's Lele?"
"Lele is fine, he is safe."
"Ah Lin!" Zhao Zhiwen rushed in from the outside, and when he saw Jing Lin covered in blood being hugged by Yan Fei, he was startled, "Where did you get hurt?"
Only then did Yan Fei feel the stickiness of his hands, which were covered with blood from Jing Lin's body.He also became frightened now, and quickly let go of Jing Lin.
The awakened people in the village came one after another, and everyone carried oil lamps to illuminate the area brightly.No one expected that someone in the village would be robbed. Some people helped to see Jing Lin's injuries, while others went to tie up the gangsters.
Looking at the seven kidnappers who were beaten beyond recognition and lay unconscious on the ground, everyone was shocked by Jing Lin's fighting power.Later, two gangsters were found in the backyard. One gangster was unconscious, with few good pieces of flesh on his face, and his hands and legs were abnormally bent, while the other was dead, with a broken neck and a strangle mark on it. , Knowing that this is the result of the battle between Yaya and Quack, I was even more shocked.
There was no fatal wound on Jing Lin's body, but there were many large and small wounds, some of which were so deep that the bones could be seen.When Zhao Anguo was treating his wound, Lele was crying and belching beside him wrapped in a quilt.
Jing Lin's face was pale, and while enduring the pain, he kept touching his head, comforting him one after another.His little nephew, who is less than six years old, why does he always go through these things.
After all the people were tied up, Ma Chunzheng walked in with a sullen face. Ma Renshan asked, "Do you have any impression of these people?"
"They're all tied up. I know one of them. It's Shi Lei from Team [-]."
"That Shi Lei who even beat his own parents?"
"It's him."
Few people here in Chashanling don't know about Shi Lei. Before junior high school, his parents worked outside, and his grandma couldn't control him. He followed some social people and didn't learn well. Afterwards, it got worse. When he ran out of money, he would ask his parents for it. If he could not steal it, he would steal it from someone else’s house. He also injured his neighbor and ran away because he was found out. His parents refused to let him go. After recognizing this son, Shi Lei didn't come back for many years after that.
Ma Chunzheng recognized Shi Lei, it was because the two were students in the same class, and had been in the same class in elementary school.
The world was in chaos, and Shi Lei also came back from the outside. After all, he was born by himself. Although his parents were extremely disappointed with him, they did not say that they would not let him live at home.After the autumn harvest, the weather suddenly turned cold. People in their village also went to look for mulch, but there were not many of them, and each family looked for it. Although they went out together, it was whoever was quick. For this reason, there were many conflicts, and the neighborhood relationship was very rigid and bad.
When everyone was busy making a living, Shi Lei was still doing nothing, but every time he went out, he always brought back a lot of things, and Shi Lei's parents kept silent about it.Everyone in the village is well aware of this, and after covering the plastic film and the fact that the wheat does not grow, the whole village panicked.Someone sneaked up to Shi Lei and expressed that he would work with him.
The targets of Shi Lei's attacks are all those with small families.Originally, he followed others to do it, but later he took a few people from the village to be his younger brothers and started working alone. After the winter, they have succeeded in several cases, and the stolen things are enough for them and their families to eat for a whole year. I have been to the rebellion of the master's house, so everyone has seen blood.
Before Jing Lin returned to the village, people from other teams had seen it more or less, and many people outside knew about Jing Lin living with a nephew.Shi Lei found out about Jing Lin's situation from nowhere, and asked about the approximate location of his home, and got entangled with several people who sneaked over in the middle of the night.
After Shi Lei came back, he attacked other people many times, and he never returned empty-handed every time. He was quite confident in his own skills.It's just that this time he was unlucky, met Jing Lin who had already practiced his skills, and there was a big white goose at home with not low combat effectiveness and a helper who came back halfway.
In the courtyard of Jinglin's house, the heads of every household in the village gathered together. Ma Renshan took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked at the crowd with frowning, and asked, "How do you deal with these people?"
"You have to ask Jing Lin about this." Someone said, after all, Jing Lin was the victim.
Yan Fei looked at that person, "Now this matter is not about Jing Lin alone. Life is hard, this kind of thing happens twice, this time only nine came, and it was only Jing Lin who broke into his house .Then when more people come next time, will they only focus on one family? If Jing Lin didn’t stand up and resist today, can you guess his ending?”
Now that there is no police in charge, the ferocity of some people has also been aroused. In order to survive, what can't be done?This was the case at the beginning of the troubled times, what if the situation became more severe later on.I don't know how long this situation will last, maybe it will be better next year, maybe it won't be better in ten years, so Yan Fei said in an exaggerated way, it is not uncommon for bandits to slaughter villages in ancient times.
Yan Fei also said: "We have already asked a question just now. Maybe you all know that the crops stopped growing. This situation did not only happen in our village, but it happened in almost all places. But! The crops continued to grow later, It only happened in our village."
This means that there is no need for Yan Fei to say anything, and people with quick brains will quickly figure it out, and everyone has a bad face.
If this continues, then the next summer harvest in their village will be the time when other villages will have no harvest.You have food to eat, but others have nothing to eat. If the news is known to others, your village will definitely be a big piece of fat in the eyes of others. At that time, everyone coveted their village's food, and even their village's land.
It is a relatively optimistic idea to unite to drive them out and take the land for themselves.But everyone knows, if that time really comes, will others be so kind and let go of the original owner who was robbed by them?
No, everyone said to themselves in their hearts.
Putting an end to the other party's chance to comeback is to completely obliterate it.
A chill came from the bottom of everyone's heart, one was frightened by their own speculation, and the other was frightened by Yan Fei's intentions.They already knew that these gangsters would not be able to get out alive tonight, and they would be the ones who killed the gangsters.
Even though I already guessed it in my heart, someone still asked: "Then... what should I do?"
Yan Fei didn't speak, his aura was too cold and frightening, he turned and walked into the room, and everyone followed unconsciously.
Shi Lei is that short and thin man, he was splashed with cold water on his face and woke up again from his coma.He had just been woken up for questioning.
He groaned in pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was surrounded by many people. He knew that he had fallen this time, and Shi Lei was not a stubborn person, so he immediately cried and begged for mercy. It's a good deal, this is the experience he gained from his years of traveling abroad, the so-called good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and he just looks for opportunities to get back later.And the reason why he stole the food from the nearby farmers was because most of the rural people were honest, so even if he found out, he would be beaten up at most, and he would be fine in bed for a few days.
But this time he was wrong.
Jing Lin's whole body was covered with bandages, wrapped in a coat and supported by Zhao Zhiwen, he walked out, looked down at Shi Lei, saw that there was still luck in his eyes, and smiled coldly.
The night was as thick as ink, and the moon was hidden at some point.
The eight gangsters who were still alive were gagged, and those who could not walk were lifted up.Shi Lei, the only one who could walk, had his hands tied behind his back, whining in panic, and was being pushed and pushed forward.
The villagers who came out with oil lamps walked in silence, the atmosphere was very strange.Although some people are walking forward, their eyes are straightened, and they don't know what they are thinking.Some people were trembling all over and wanted to run away from here.
Finally, the villagers came to the fish pond of Zhao Zhiwen's house and put him on the bank. Shi Lei was pressed down and knelt on the spot. He must have guessed something, and tears kept streaming down his face.
Jing Lin stood up, Zhao Zhiwen and Yan Fei stood on both sides of him.Ever since the dagger was swiped past his neck, Jing Lin's psychology has changed a lot.
Yan Fei suddenly grabbed his right hand, which was also covered with bandages, and asked him softly, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Jing Lin said, he didn't break away from Yan Fei's hand, he knew that at this moment, Yan Fei was comforting himself and at the same time convincing himself.
Zhao Zhiwen was trembling, but Jing Lin grabbed his hand, and Jing Lin said to him, "Zhiwen, think about Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhou."
"I know." Zhao Zhiwen said, he gave a distorted smile in the night, he knew what they were going to do next, "I'm just a little nervous, I'm fine."
There were fish in the pond, mullet with sharp teeth.After one successful catch, Jinglin and the others failed to catch one after many attempts. They are very smart and already know how to avoid fishing nets.
There was a "plop", the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.Jing Lin and the three of them withdrew their feet at the same time, looking indifferently at Shi Lei who was struggling in the water.
Two mullets suddenly appeared, one left and one right bit Shi Lei's neck, and quickly dragged him into the bottom of the water.
They are about to have a feast.
The remaining seven people were placed on the shore one by one.Smelling the smell of blood, there were a few more mullets, circling back and forth in the water, even splashing water and trying to jump ashore to bite.
Yan Fei asked, "Who will come next?"
"I'll do it." Ma Chunzheng stood up. Behind him, Ma Renshan wanted to reach out his hand to hold him, but halfway through, he retracted it tremblingly, and turned his head, not daring to look again.
"We're coming, too." Ma Chunkang and his brothers took a step forward. The two of them were much calmer than ordinary people. They had experienced a lot of hardships on the way home. Although they were afraid of human life, they were also much indifferent.
Another person was pushed into the fish pond, and was dragged into the bottom of the water in an instant by the mullet that rushed over.
Most of the people who followed were those who came back from outside.
Li Feiyu and Gao Changhui cried, they couldn't do it, but no one forced them.
As a doctor, Zhao Shaoqian has seen too many lives and deaths. As long as he doesn't care about himself and his relatives, his heart is always colder than others.
In the end, including the dead nine gangsters, all were pushed into the fish pond.
That night, Yan Fei moved to Jinglin's house with his quilt and pillows in his arms. He also lived on the first floor, opposite to Jinglin's bedroom.
"We can rest assured that Yan Fei is with you." Zhou Yu said that she had proposed to let Jing Lin bring Lele to live with them, but Jing Lin refused, saying that even if they moved there, Zhao Zhiwen If you get married and have to move back, don't bother with that.
"That's right." Zhou Feifei echoed, "If Ah Fei was here tonight, how could you be injured like that?" The child didn't even hum.
Jing Lin didn't object either. Compared to Lele's safety, having one more person in the family was nothing, and everyone could feel more at ease with them.Especially when he is covered in injuries like this now, having one more person really makes him feel at ease.
After that night, Lele also had a high fever because she was frozen for a long time, and Jing Lin also had a very high fever for a while because of excessive blood loss.
As for the people in the village who participated that night, many of them had nightmares for several days after going back, and some even suffered a serious illness, but after that, their aura and eyes changed somewhat.
The fish pond in the village has become a forbidden area, and no one wants to go near it anymore.Many people also began to fear Yan Fei and Jing Lin. After all, it was Yan Fei who proposed to feed those people to fish, and Jing Lin seconded it.
The two of them didn't feel much about this, and they didn't have anything to do with the people in the village, neither of them lived in the opinions of others, and their lives were still the same as before, but when the time came for them to practice the mental method increased.Combat battles are not just two-to-two fights, they will fight with four people, or practice two-on-two, three-on-one, and it is no longer a point-and-shoot. Sometimes after a battle, several people will have more or less A little scrape.
This morning, when Yan Fei was washing up, he saw three toothbrush cups of himself, Jing Lin and Lele put together on the washstand, two big and one small, like a family, very warm.When he opened the door and came out, Jing Lin had already finished training and was chopping lettuce to feed the chickens.
Jing Lin turned his head to look at him, saw that he was very happy with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Yan Fei: "It's dawn."
The little host, Lele, walked beside Yan Fei, chattering to Yan Fei about what dream he had last night. He seemed to talk a lot, but Yan Fei didn't hesitate, and listened carefully to what Lele had to say, and responded to the two questions from time to time. sentence.
Duck and Ya also stepped on their two big feet and followed.Geese have webbed feet, and ducks and ducks not only have webbed feet, but also have very sharp claws, otherwise they would not be able to tear off a piece of each other's skin with a single grasp.After the moulting period is over, it has been growing very fast recently, almost every few days, and it not only eats a lot, but also picky eaters. It doesn't like to eat vegetables and leaves. Its dinner plate has been changed from a small bowl to a large bowl. The amount of one meal is Jing Lin's two meals. The rice at home is grown very fast, and Jing Lin is also worried about this. It is also troublesome to have such an edible goose at home.
Don't worry about quacking, it's completely self-sufficient.
Zhao Zhiwen came to give Jing Lin the new rice that he and Zhao Chenghuai had just ground today, a bag just harvested this year, grind it out and taste it.
Seeing Lele and Yan Fei talking and laughing, Zhao Zhiwen said sourly, "Why is Lele so attached to you now?"
Yan Fei smiled and squeezed Lele's small face, "I'm probably more handsome."
Zhao Zhiwen touched his face, well, he is indeed not as handsome as Yan Fei.
In fact, everyone understands this transformation of Lele. Yan Fei was the first to appear in front of Lele that night. There is no time to do it.
Yan Fei also regretted why he didn't run faster that night, so that Jing Lin might be less injured.
Several people were discussing what to have for lunch when they suddenly heard the sound of an urgent assembly.
After that night, Ma Renshan hung a gong under his sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When something happened in the village, he would ring it and let the villagers pay attention.
Jing Lin and the others stopped talking immediately and closed the door to go out, knowing that Ma Renshan had something to notify.
As soon as they arrived at Ma Renshan's house, they saw a stranger with blood on his face sitting slumped under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree crying, and everyone came forward to ask what happened.
"Our village was destroyed by rats, and many people died!" The person who said it was a woman in her fifties. Her face was covered with blood. He saw her fear in his eyes.There was also a piece of flesh missing from her neck, which made her look a little scary, and the padded jacket on her body was also torn a few times, exposing the inner lining.Liu Suqin rubbed medicine on her side to stop the bleeding, and kept crying.
It turned out that this person was Liu Suqin's biological mother, Li Guihua, a villager from Chashanling No. [-] team.In the early morning of their village, a group of huge rats suddenly sprang out. There were so many of them that they would bite anyone they saw. When Li Guihua escaped, many people in the village had already been killed on the spot.
Knowing from her mouth that none of Liu Yinghua's natal family survived, Liu Yinghua passed out on the spot.
Li Guihua and her daughter Liu Suqin who married here are the only ones left in Li Guihua's family. She has no relatives elsewhere. She fled from the second team all the way with injuries all over her body, and did not enter the village until noon.
"It's such a big mouse, bigger than a cat. It can't be shaken off when it jumps on people. Once pulled, it becomes a piece of meat." Li Guihua cried and said, "There are so many people in the village, many people were thrown to the ground, and a group of mice rushed to the ground." I got up, but I didn't get up anymore, the Liu family's daughter is only five years old, and her stomach has been bitten through."
The sight was a nightmare played out in hell.
"Mom, stop talking, just be quiet for a while." Liu Suqin saw that her mother had lost her mind, so she quickly told her to shut up so that she would not continue to think about those pictures.
"It's scary, it's scary!" Li Guihua hugged her arms and curled herself into a ball.
"What should I do?" Ma Renshan asked everyone.
"If it doesn't work, it might come to our village one day." Zhao Shaoqian said.
"But the number is too much. Judging from Aunt Li's dictation, at least a hundred." Tang Hao said, if you want to eradicate rats, you must rely on the people in their village.
Jing Lin could set up a magic array to defend against ordinary mice, but those were obviously not ordinary mice.And even if it can be prevented, can it be left alone?Wait until they slaughter all the nearby villages, and then?Sooner or later they set their sights on their village.Wuyu said that he could deter other monsters and protect their village, but Wuyu also said that he would transform into a dragon in the future, and he would leave sooner or later.
At this time, Jing Lin thought of what the old man had said back then, and he said, "Do you still remember that Third Master Cao? That bastard leader who took over a small piece of law and order in the county town."
"Remember." Yan Fei and several others said at the same time, "Third Master Cao seems to have also exterminated rats in the county town. Not to mention that many people died, and many rats escaped."
"It's very likely that the mice in the second team are the same group that Cao Sanye once dealt with, and they came here."
So the big guys discussed it, because Mr. Cao already had experience in dealing with mutant mice, they could talk to Mr. Cao.Of course, they also considered that Mr. Cao would definitely not help in vain. As for the issue of remuneration, they can talk to the village chiefs of several nearby villages. It is related to everyone's life and death. For the sake of long-term survival, we will not be reluctant to give up a little food.
The first thing to do was to inform the nearby villages. Because they were afraid of encountering rats on the road, all men in the village who could go had to go. A total of more than 40 young and middle-aged men gathered together. I brought something easy to satisfy my hunger.Cats are the natural enemies of mice, Tang Hao took Mimi with him by the way, and when he was leaving, the three kittens, who were already half the size of their mothers, followed them stickily, and their meows and meows rubbed against everyone legs coquettish.
There were three more helpers who could catch mice, and everyone was more than happy to let the three little ones follow.
The world after winter is much more depressed than in the past, but there are only a few withered vegetation, and most of them are still unchanged in summer.The village team that passed by along the way, Jinglin, they all told someone about the rat infestation, and asked those people to tell their village chief to inform the villagers to prepare for the delivery of food, and to give an answer within an hour .Of course, it doesn’t matter if there are villages that you don’t want to. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask them to help them. Whether you help them depends on the situation.
So for this reason, Jing Lin and the others have been busy all day, and the villagers who have been notified are basically willing to pay for food, and some villages even gave out people.
The next day, they went to the city to look for Mr. Cao. Because they didn't know the exact location of Mr. Cao, Jing Lin and the others went to the area where they passed by Xinwan Town at that time, and planned to ask someone.
By such a coincidence, they met the old man from that time again.
Compared with the last time I saw him, the uncle was even thinner, his cheeks were sunken and almost lost his flesh, and he was not as energetic as last time. He was wearing a dirty cotton coat and was picking green grass tips by the side of the road.
"Master? Do you still remember me?" Yan Fei walked up and felt a little sour when he looked at the uncle.
The old man has a good memory, and Yan Fei also drove the carriage this time, so the old man was very impressed with him. He put the grass tip in his hand into his pocket and said, "I remember you, you have entered the city again ? What are you doing here this time?"
Yan Fei said: "We want to find Mr. Cao, but we don't know where he lives. Do you know? Can you take us there?"
"Okay, I just happen to have nothing to do, old man." The uncle readily agreed, and his attitude towards people and things was as enthusiastic as ever, and he didn't seem to be affected by this troubled world.
"I'll help you get into the carriage, be careful where you step." Seeing the old man, Jing Lin thought of his grandfather, and went up to help him get into the carriage.
"It's so warm in the car." The uncle got into the car and rubbed his hands that were red from the cold.
Jing Lin asked him, "What are you doing with these grass tips?"
"Eat." The uncle said with a smile, "It's hard to live. Everyone is hungry. The taste of these grasses is a bit unpalatable, but they won't kill you, and they can fill your stomach."
"How is the situation in the city now?" Yan Fei asked.
"It's difficult." The uncle said, "The things planted don't grow long, and many people left, saying that it's too cold here, and went to City K, saying that the weather there has always been mild, and the probability of survival may be lower. bigger."
"Haven't you thought about leaving?" Jing Lin asked.
"You can't go, the little old man's grandson is still out as a soldier and hasn't come back yet, so we have to wait for him here." The uncle said, and then said to Yan Fei who was driving the car: "Turn left, go up Hechuan Road and walk to the end, there is a car driver there." The school, Mr. Cao and his subordinates live there."
The big iron gate of the driving school was closed, and there were two newly built watchtowers next to it, with a person standing on each of them. When they saw Yan Fei's convoy, he signaled them not to go any further, and stopped in place.
"Who are you?" asked the man on the left.
"We are from the village below the county seat, and we want to ask Mr. Cao to do something." Yan Fei said.
"Put the car in the open space over there, and you can only enter after you come and search." The management is quite strict.
After everyone was searched and no one was found hiding weapons, Yan Fei and the others were put in.
Because there were a lot of people coming, Cao Sanye got the news immediately and asked people to take them directly to his reception room.
"I heard that you are looking for me?" Mr. Cao is a middle-aged man of medium height, and his demeanor looks quite decent. He doesn't know why he went to prison.When he spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally he stopped his eyes on Yan Fei.
Yan Fei didn't talk too much, and went straight to the topic: "I heard that Mr. Cao once dealt with a rat problem?"
Third Master Cao’s pupils shrank, "Have you encountered a rat problem?" The trip to exterminate rats was the biggest loss among all the missions he set out. Many brothers were involved in that mission, and many rats ran away. Now Thinking about it, Mr. Cao was still very upset, he kept his hatred in mind, and when he had a chance, he must kill those rats.
Yan Fei said: "We met next door, out of more than 100 people, only a few escaped."
Mr. Cao sat down on the chair and said: "Since you can find this place, you should know that you can't ask me to do things without getting paid."
"It's natural." Yan Fei said, "Several villages near us jointly contribute, one person contributes ten catties, and the remuneration of several hundred people should be able to hire Cao Sanye, right?"
This was much more than the reward he would get for a mission in the county. Third Master Cao agreed immediately without thinking too much about it.One is that the remuneration offered by the other party is indeed not small, and the other is that he has been stepping up the training of his brothers all the time, just to wait for revenge. He searched the entire county before and found no trace of rats. down.
The food has been prepared, in order not to give the rats any chance to hurt people, Cao Sanye immediately asked people to gather the brothers, bring the guys who have been preparing for a long time, and prepare for the battle.
Act with a bit of military style.
There are more than 50 people who follow Mr. Cao, all of whom are more or less skilled.These days, the means of travel are almost the same, either bicycles or tricycles, and what is a little worse is a push scooter with two legs.
Before leaving the county seat, Jing Lin and the others deliberately sent the old man to the community where he lived, and gave him a few bags of biscuits hidden in his coat.
The old man refused to take it, knowing that the world is difficult now, he is not willing to take advantage of the younger generation, and he is willing to help them guide the way without asking for any reward.However, after arguing, the two of Jing Lin couldn't hold back in the end. Looking at the two juniors who put down their things and left, the uncle held the biscuit and his eyes were red. grandson.
Leaving aside the uncle, when Jinglin and the others came, there were people from other villages, so the number increased to 50. When they returned, they added more than 100 people from Cao Sanye, and they suddenly exceeded [-]. The group was mighty. Walking on the road from the county town to the countryside is very spectacular.
The group went directly to Li Guihua's village, led by Ma Mingliang, who was the only one in the village who knew where the village was.
When he was about to approach the village, Mr. Cao ordered his men to pick up a bucket of red liquid from the car and start pouring it along the way.
"It's chicken blood." Mr. Cao took the initiative to explain, "These rats don't eat bloody things now. When I met them last time, the nearby residents didn't lose any food at all, but many people kept them on the top floor. All the poultry have been seeded, and some residents live in a lower place and they will break in through the windows, so many residents are eaten alive by rats."
Not bloody, except for plants and trees, the rest are bloody things, and human beings have become a meal on their diet.
When they arrived in the village, everyone was shocked by the scene they saw.
The whole village was very quiet, no human voice could be heard, there were no living people left, blood was everywhere on the ground, many pieces of clothes were scattered, and there were many human bones and hair.There are also some bloody drag marks, extending into the grass and being submerged.
Except for a few who escaped successfully, the rest of the villagers were all buried in the mouth of rats.
These beasts!
Cao Sanye said: "The taste of these mice has changed, but their habits have not changed. They are hoarding food all the time, and they will drag back and hide in their hiding places if they can't finish eating at that time."
So those drag marks are the corpses of humans who were killed by rats but didn't finish eating them and stored them as food.
After hearing Mr. Cao's words, everyone was afraid for a while. Fortunately, they acted immediately after hearing the news, and the mouse didn't seem to act in the past two days. Thinking that one step later, I might be fed to mice or stored up as food, I felt a chill in my body.
He also hated these inhuman beasts even more.
"The noses of these mice have become very sensitive. If the chicken blood is spilled and there is wind, they will soon be able to smell it. However, in broad daylight, they generally do not move, so tonight, we will live here, and they will definitely Will come out." Cao Sanye said, because he was paid to do things, so Yan Fei and the others were also his employers, he reminded: "Those who are afraid can leave here, of course those who are not afraid want to stay, I will I don’t object, but life and death are at your own risk.”
People from other villages left immediately.
Jinglin and the others planned to participate in the battle against rats from the very beginning, so all four of them stayed, and at the same time, everyone who fought the crocodile together last time also stayed. people inside.And the people in their village who originally wanted to leave were embarrassed to leave, some thought about it, but stayed willingly, and some wanted to leave but did not dare to leave because there were few people, so they stayed unwillingly. With the addition of Mimi and the three cats, all the people who came out of their village this time stayed.
For this, Cao Sanye expressed his appreciation: "The people in your village are all good. In this world, people who hide behind their backs will not live long. You still have to be strong."
There were still more than three hours before it got dark, and Mr. Cao asked the brothers to eat more to fill their stomachs, and to store their strength would be more conducive to fighting.The rations that Jing Lin and Yan Fei brought out today were all given to the old man. Fortunately, Zhao Zhiwen brought more because he had to participate in the extermination of rats, so it was enough for them to eat.
The group of Mr. Cao, who were full of food and drink, began to dig out the armor and weapons they had specially made for rat control.Gloves and knee pads wrapped in iron sheets, iron sheets were also sewn behind the heart, and an iron mask was worn on the face, exposing the eyes, nose and mouth, and even the neck was tightly covered, which shows that Mr. Cao is exterminating rodents. The determination is great, and the preparation is sufficient.
Cao Sanye said: "The teeth and claws of mice are very sharp, these iron sheets are still
