Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Are we just leaving without leaving any food for the mice?" Suna Na saw that he was about to leave with the snakeskin bag on his back, and couldn't help but ask.

    "Leave food for rats, why?" Liu Junhao felt that he had heard another funny thing. It seemed that his niece Sui Gu's words were indeed correct.

    "I remember reading in a book that rats dug up all their food. If they don't have food to eat in winter, they will hang themselves in the trees."

    A rat hung himself, unless there was something wrong with the rat's brain. Liu Junhao naturally sneered at her statement, but he did not immediately refute, "You want to find the rat that hanged itself, right? Follow me, and I will take you to a place to hang yourself."  There are quite a few of them, and they¡¯ve all been done¡­¡±

    "Is there really a hanging rat?" Zhang Qian also became interested. Although she was skeptical about the idea of ??a hanging rat, she also wanted to see what was going on.

    "It's all superstition, how can there be such a rare thing?" Professor Zhao didn't believe anything. When he was young, he often eliminated the "four pests".

    Liu Junhao led them to a not very tall elm tree, pointed at the branches and said, "Look, isn't there a mouse hanging there?"

    "Whatwhat's going on?" Even Professor Zhao was surprised.

    There were several shriveled mice hanging on the branches of the elm branches, and a mouse with quite fresh fur could even be seen on the branches below, apparently it had just been "hanged" not long ago.

    "You want to know the reason? I'll tell you now" Liu Junhao suddenly pulled away and kicked the elm tree a few times, and the already dry elm branches fell to the ground.

    "Pulling!"

    At this time, a big brown bird suddenly flew out of the tree hole and kept shouting "Gummy, Gummy". However, it did not lean down to attack everyone. It just hovered on the top of the tree for a while and then landed.  Disappeared deep in the woods.

    "Do you know what kind of bird this is, owl! The mice on this branch are all the food saved by the owls after they are full. When there is no prey, they will eat the dried mice. This is the truth behind the 'hanging' of mice  , to put it bluntly, it is worthless. The person you are talking about who wrote the book has either never been to the countryside, or it is a folk legend heard from hearsay. If mice can really hang themselves, they will become extinct long ago." Sometimes once it is revealed  The truth is, that thing is simply unbelievable.

    In fact, not only owls, but also many animals in the mountains have the habit of storing food. Take the grasshopper for example. After they can¡¯t finish eating the prey they catch in winter, they will bury it first and come back to look for it later when they are short of food.  .

    The raccoon's sense of smell is very sensitive and can bury food very deep underground. Other animals cannot dig to this depth even if they smell it.

    Generally, villagers do not eat the food dug out of mouse holes, but use it to feed their livestock.  The chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. in Liu Junhao's yard have been consuming a lot of food every day recently, and now it is just right to use this food to feed them.

    Seeing that it was still early, they excitedly found a mouse hole again, but this time the harvest was very small, and they only dug less than 30 kilograms of grain.

    The little girl's sympathy quickly disappeared. Under the leadership of Suna Na, she picked a lot of mountain reds. Her teeth were sore from eating them, but she kept talking and filled her pockets with food.  Go back and eat.

    When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of naughty children standing around and shouting. From a distance, Liu Junhao saw the furry children yelling the most fiercely and beating them on the ground with a small bamboo pole.  I didn't find it when I walked up to it.

    "What are you doing?" Zhang Qian asked, raising her voice.

    "Teacher Zhang¡­¡­!"

    These naughty kids immediately became obedient, with their heads hanging down and not daring to move. It seemed that Zhang Qian had a lot of prestige in front of this group of students.

    "What did I think I was doing? It turned out to be a mouse fight." Liu Junhao stretched his head over and looked at the bucket, and he understood what was going on.  I saw two mice squeaking at the bottom of the bucket. One of them was obviously dying.  Adults dig mouse holes mainly for food, but these naughty children have only one purpose, which is to catch mice and fight them back.

    "Rat fighting?" Zhang Qian opened her eyes wide. What kind of strange trick was this? She had heard of cockfighting, dog fighting, and cricket fighting, but this was the first time she heard of rat fighting.

    "Children, let me give you Teacher Zhang a mouse fight. Who has any more mice?" Liu Junhao greeted them loudly when he saw that they were all interested.

    "Okay!" Seeing that Zhang Qian didn't mean to blame, these naughty kids became bold again.

    "Use mine, use mine, I just dug it in the morning." The little kid lifted up his clothes and took out a useless flashlight containing a mouse from his autumn clothes.When Zhang Qian came out suddenly, he hid it in his clothes in panic.

    The defeated rat was already half dead, and was beaten to death by the kid with a stick after it was brought out.

    The mouse in the bucket was about the same size as the one in the bucket. They were both quite fat. After getting into the bucket, he became obviously restless. The little kid tapped the wall of the bucket with a wooden stick a few times, and it immediately rushed forward.

    Those naughty children also forgot that the teacher was around and kept shouting. Suna Na even waved her fists and cheered, completely forgetting that she was still sympathetic to the mouse just now.

    ¡°She is definitely a very violent woman,¡± Liu Junhao slandered in his heart.

    The two rats were fighting back and forth in the bucket. The battle was so intense that it dazzled the people on the sidelines.  Soon a mouse became exhausted and was bitten to death in the bucket.

    "Is this the legendary rat fight?" Suna Na's meaningless words made Liu Junhao sweat again.

    Zhang Qian also blushed and coughed twice, and immediately changed the subject: "How could they let rats fight? I remember the book said rats are social animals"

    "I know, I know," before Liu Junhao could speak, the hairy boy shouted loudly: "Stuff soybeans into the mouse's butt."

    These naughty kids are also good at fighting rats. They soak soybeans in water and stuff them into the rat's butt. Because the soybeans will continue to expand inside the rat's body after being soaked in water, the rat will go crazy and attack the same kind.

    Naturally, their first stop when they returned to the village was Liu Junhao's yard. When Nannan arrived in the yard, she went crazy like a bandit. As soon as the adults were not paying attention, they heard her crying in the chicken coop and screaming.  "chicken shit".  It turned out that the little girl got in when she saw the white eggs inside, but she didn't expect to catch a piece of chicken droppings.

    Sunana hurriedly pulled her to the edge of the pool to wash her off, but in the blink of an eye, she got mud on her legs again. She asked again if she got it by catching eels by the ditch.

    Liu Junhao used to think that little Haoyu was already solid enough, but he didn¡¯t expect that this little girl was even better. When she got here, she didn¡¯t recognize her as a stranger and treated her completely like her own family.

    Suna Na was so annoyed that she had a headache, so she said a few words to her. As a result, the little girl started to cry "wow wah". Her cries were so loud that no one could persuade her.

    "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll get some dates for my daughter to eat." Zhang Qian suddenly had an idea and went to Liu Junhao's side room and took out some hard red dates.

    The dates are still crispy and hard after being harvested in the autumn, probably because the water has evaporated, and they taste sweeter than before.  When they first arrived, Liu Junhao wanted to take out the dates and share them with them, but Suna Na stopped her and said that Nan Nan had eaten a lot of mountain red just now, so she should not let her eat anything cold again.

    Now that it was a critical moment, she couldn't care less about stopping it.

    The child's attention was diverted again. He took a few red dates in his chubby little hands and started to chew them, shouting that they were delicious while chewing.

    Seeing that she finally stopped crying, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but after eating, Nannan opened her little hands to ask for jujubes.

    Suna Na couldn¡¯t stay any longer, so she hurriedly dragged her out of Liu Junhao¡¯s yard while saying no more.

    However, when she returned to Zhang Qian's residence, she pressed her best friend again and asked her why she went to Liu Junhao's place as casually as she did to her own home.

    "How can I have it?" Zhang Qian quibbled hurriedly, "I just saw my daughter crying too much, so I went straight into the house to get the dates in a hurry."

    She was denying it, but she was a little bit confused in her heart. Why do so many people think something should happen between herself and Liu Junhao?  But thinking about my unconscious behavior when I took the dates just now, it seems that it was a bit too casual.
