Chapter 35 The Mouse
Walking into the yard, Wang Jusheng's wife Zhang Qiaoling was looking around nervously with a flashlight.
Seeing this, Wang Jusheng hurried over: "What's wrong with Qiaoling, where was the movement just now?"
"I don't know much, it sounds like it's coming from the room in the west."
When Zhang Qiaoling saw Wang Jusheng coming back, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then she saw that her man was following Chen Ling, so she squeezed out her smile and said hello.
"The wealth is here."
Chen Ling nodded and called Ju Qiaoling's sister-in-law.
"Give me the flashlight, let me and Fugui see what's going on. Don't get in at home."
Wang Jusheng took the flashlight and pushed open the door of the west room with Chen Ling.
As a result, before he could enter, he heard a "thump" inside. Wang Jusheng's flashlight immediately shook over and saw a huge mouse whizzing past the feet of the two of them, with an astonishing speed.
Zhang Qiaoling was far away and could only see a black shadow rushing out of the house. She was so scared that she screamed and hid aside.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a mouse!"
Wang Jusheng said in a deep voice.
Then he said in confusion: "It's strange. Both my family and Ida have cats. There have never been mice at home."
Cats in rural areas are basically experts in catching mice, because in this era, there is little leftover at home, so if you don’t catch mice, you will go hungry.
Of course, I also catch some birds, grasshoppers, crickets, and four-legged snakes.
There is no way, all hunting skills are hungry.
"Haha, it's probably time for a baby mouse to be born in spring, so it's normal to take the risk to come out and find food."
"Brother Jusheng, let's go into the house and take a look. After hearing what happened just now, it's impossible for only one mouse in the house to be alone."
Chen Ling reminded.
In fact, not only because of the sound just now, his eyesight and ears are much stronger than ordinary people, and he can detect the rustling sound of mice moving in the dark in the house.
"I think so."
Wang Jusheng nodded, used the flashlight to find the position of the light rope, and pulled the light away.
The moment the lights were on, there were about a dozen gray rats lying on a large jar in the corner of the room, holding peanuts and climbing up the beams along the wires in the room.
There is a hole through wires at the other end of the beam of the room. Half a mouse's head poked out from the hole and was looking around.
These mice were much more courageous than the one just now. They didn't rush to run when the light was on, and they were calmly transporting peanuts to the beam.
When Wang Jusheng saw it, he was immediately furious.
"I'm so proud of spoiling my peanuts!"
He picked up a broom behind the door and swung it over, but these mice were so slippery that they fled away all at once, and even Wang Jusheng could not beat him.
"Brother Jusheng, sister-in-law, don't put peanuts here next time, just put them in the room where you sleep."
At this time, Zhang Qiaoling also came in, and Chen Ling reminded the two of them.
He knew in his mind that the mouse must have been brought by peanuts.
After all, the peanuts he gave to Wang Jusheng were also watered by the water of Dongtian Creek, and their attraction to animals is absolutely slim.
"It's all my fault that I didn't care much before."
"Just put the peanuts into the jar and press the weight on. I thought that there were cats at home and couldn't get into mice."
"Even if there are rats, I still have two big weights. I didn't expect these rats to be so damn thief. They have all lifted such heavy weights."
Wang Jusheng shook his head and picked up the two big weights that were rolling down from the ground.
Obviously, the sound that Chen Ling and the others heard when they came in was the sound of a mouse pulling the weight to the ground.
"It's a pity that Fugui gave me the peanuts."
Wang Jusheng said with a heartache.
During the past few days, Chen Ling asked him to bring back a lot of peanuts, and he was thinking about how to eat them for a while.
As a result, I don't think about it now.
"It's okay, just a little peanut, I still have it after I finish eating."
Chen Ling walked over and looked into the tank.
Sure enough, I was very hurt by the mice. Not only did I steal it and move it into the nest, but I also urinated and peed. The peanuts were smelly, so I obviously couldn't eat them.
"Oh, I don't mean that..."
"I mean this peanut is a rare good thing. People have been harmed by mice before they can eat it, which makes me feel distressed and angry."
Wang Jusheng gritted his teeth and said.
"If it doesn't work, you can go into this room with two mouse clips."
Wang Qiaoling also feels very sorry for these peanuts, after all, the effect of breastfeeding is really good.
"Get down! I'll go down after dinner!"
"Put two more clips, I'll kill these dog days of scoundrels!"
Wang Jusheng said something resentful.
Then he turned around and said to his wife, "Fugui is here, let's not worry about these trivial matters for now."
"Hurry up and prepare the meals, let Fugui show you something, and let you see if I fool you."
Zhang Qiaoling looked at Chen Ling after hearing this and said with a smile: "Fugui, don't listen to your brother Jusheng's nonsense. I'm just having fun with him."
"You finally came to your house, how could you make a meal? It's too unreasonable!"
In fact, Zhang Qiaoling was just an angry thing before.
It was because Wang Jusheng had free meals at Chen Ling's house every day and didn't go home to have dinner, so he couldn't help but complain.
Just say that the food at Fugui’s house is really that delicious? It makes you want to have three meals a day at someone’s house?
As a result, Wang Jusheng said that it was really delicious. If you don’t believe it, I will call you Fugui to make a meal another day. You will be convinced once you eat it.
Zhang Qiaoling was unforgivable and said, "You're going to scream."
As a result, I really called today.
It made her feel a little embarrassed, making her look so greedy.
"No, there is nothing wrong with it. I have called Fugui here, and I must show my skills."
"I have to convince you today."
Wang Jusheng said firmly.
Zhang Qiaoling said this and felt a little hot on her face, thinking to herself why this stupid guy is still fighting in front of outsiders.
"Fugui, you're a joke. My family Jusheng is this temper."
Chen Ling waved his hand with a smile: "What's the matter? I just appreciate Brother Jusheng's temper, otherwise I won't be able to get along!"
Wang Jusheng burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Look, look, this is what the man said. You woman knows what you are doing!"
"Quickly turn on the lights in the yard. Fugui likes to cook in the yard."
In fact, it was purely because he wanted to show off because he knew that Chen Ling was very fragrant when cooking and the fragrance could drift far away.
So I wanted Chen Ling to do it in his own yard so that his neighbors would also smell it, and they would be jealous.
The yard of Wang Jusheng's house is long, long in the north and south directions, short in the east and west. Many trees have been planted, and there are also water tanks. The large ones are more than one meter high and the small ones are only about one foot, and they are placed side by side.
Wang Jusheng's stove is made of a small water tank. It is filled with red mud and ventilated holes. It can be burned with charcoal and firewood inside, making it very convenient to cook.
Zhang Qiaoling prepared the ingredients in advance, but Chen Ling cooked the food without much effort.
Because there are many trees in the yard and the lights are not so bright after turning on, Chen Ling secretly added a little cave and no one saw it.
Put four dishes and one soup on the table, and the fragrance suddenly floated out.
At this time, Zhang Qiaoling suddenly understood the reason why her man went to Chen Ling's house for free every few days.
It smells so good! It tastes so good!
When Wang Jusheng saw that his wife had swallowed quietly, he immediately smiled and said, "How is it, my wife? I didn't fool you!"
Zhang Qiaoling glanced at him and said, "I'll go and carry the baby out..."
