Chapter 87 Rat Infestation
The same panda, the honest guy is actually a Tibetan mastiff. "≤ Looking at the body of the black and white two evil spirits as big as a lion, he couldn't help swallowing and retreated to Cai Hongming, for fear that the black and white two evil spirits would jump over. There are many talks about Tibetan mastiff biting people on TV, and he doesn't want to be the next victim.
Fortunately, the black and white evil spirits did not take the next move, but just looked at it with dissatisfaction and then lay on the soft beach again.
Cai Hongming looked at his timid appearance and wanted to laugh, "What are you doing for it? Is it full and I have nothing to do, right?"
"Where, Brother Hong, I want it to help catch mice."
"Catch the mouse?" Cai Hongming almost jumped up when he heard this, and picked up the honest black and white double evil spirits, held its head and stared at it, "You asked our black and white double evil spirits to catch the mouse, the wise and powerful snow-capped mountain divine mastiff? Are you crazy?"
Seeing Cai Hongming looking like he wanted to eat people, Liu Chong quickly explained: "Hong...Brother Hong... I... I'm not using the best of everything. Besides, the Black and White Evils have also caught mice before, and they are familiar with this matter... it is familiar."
"It caught a mouse?" Cai Hongming glanced at the black and white evil spirits suspiciously.
"Really. The rat it caught was big and weighed several pounds. If the boss hadn't disliked it and refused to let us eat it, we would have stewed the thing long ago and had to throw it away in the end. It would be a pity." Liu Chong gestured at the rat that the black and white evil spirits caught last time. When talking about throwing the rat away, he still felt very sorry.
Cai Hongming looked at his gesture, which was about half a meter long, and it seemed that the mouse was really big.
"I didn't expect you to really catch mice. Is this considered a dog meddling with rats?" Cai Hongming asked, rubbing the handsome big head of the Black and White Evil. He didn't know what he was saying, thinking he was praising it, and kept waving his tail and sticking out his tongue to lick him, but was pushed away by Cai Hongming's disgust. This hurt its fragile heart.
"Even if there is a mouse, you don't need to find it. Just buy a mouse cage."
"It's useless to buy it. Those guys are so crazy that they run out to eat during the day. We may not be able to catch up with us."
“Are there many?”
"a lot of."
"Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Those guys rarely come out during the day, only some of them are active."
"So crazy, go. Take me to see."
So Liu Chong took Cai Hongming out.
"How are you going out? Aren't you inside?"
"There is no inside, outside, mainly in the sweet potato field and corn field. There are rat holes everywhere, and there are so many dense."
When Cai Hongming heard this, it was really amazing, so he quickly moved out. When the black and white evil spirits looked at it, they followed them happily.
This year, due to the increase in yaks and ostrichs, and the fact that some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep were raised, Cai Hongming has fed some sweet potatoes and corn to livestock, with a total of about 700 acres. Nowadays, sweet potato vines are everywhere in the sweet potato field, and it is very dense; the tall corn poles in the corn field stand upright, and the corn grows out one by one, which looks very gratifying.
When he arrived at the sweet potato field, Cai Hongming saw Ji Dong and a bunch of people digging in the sweet potato field. Suddenly, something seemed to run out from below, causing a stir.
The black and white evil spirits following behind saw it and ran over quickly. After a moment, they bit a mouse and ran back. Then they placed it in front of Cai Hongming, shaking their tail happily, wanting him to praise it. Cai Hongming rubbed its honest head to show encouragement, and then pushed it aside and grabbed the mouse.
After looking at it, Cai Hongming frowned and asked Liu Chong: "Is there a lot of this thing in the field?"
"It's so many. We've been digging all over the field, and there are rat holes everywhere, and there are even on the road. If we didn't find it in time, we've all stepped into the hole. One of our yaks broke his feet when they stepped into the hole. It's not going to be well yet."
"Why no one told me about this?"
"This is not a big deal, and I'm not busy lately."
Alas! I have really ignored the farm affairs because of filming this time. If I hadn't discovered this in time, I'm afraid the harvest of sweet potatoes and corn this year will be much lower.
How could these guys know that this is not a mouse at home, but a gerbil, whose full name is the meridian gerbil.
Meridian gerbils mainly live in desert or semi-desert areas, and sometimes they are seen in non-territorial sand and agricultural areas. The main food is herbs, drought-growing shrubs, stems, leaves and fruits of small shrubs. Some thorny shrubs, such as narrow-leafed pheasants, saram thorns, etc. are also eaten. Sometimes they have no food and eat insects. They steal various grain crops in the agricultural areas, even raisins, watermelons, melons, sunflower seeds, and tree seedlings. In terms of calculation, they eat almost everything.
These are nothing, mainly because this thing is particularly procreated.
The gerbils can have two births a year, some have three births, at least four births in one child, and some have as many as dozens. Therefore, in deserts and grasslands, farmers and herders are always afraid of not insects, but gerbils. For farmers on the edge of the desert, they have to fight the gerbils to the death once a year.
When Cai Hongming was still studying, he went to a farm where he didn't want to kill rats with medicine and caught meridian gerbils with his friends.
It’s not free, but it’s about charging money, depending on how much it costs to catch one. Now someone specializes in this business, and a pound of meridian gerbil meat can be sold for five yuan.
In the past, Cai Hongming bought gerbil meat to grill when selling barbecue. It tastes good, and the soup is better if it is used to make soup.
He was surprised. There were very few gerbils here before, so why are there so many now? He looked up at the green sweet potatoes and corn fields. It was probably caused by sweet potatoes and corn. This place belongs to the edge of the desert, close to the forests, and gerbils have no food. It would be strange if they don’t run over to see the sweet sweet potatoes and corn. It is estimated that some people still plan to settle down here so that their rat son, rat grandson, rat great-grandson will stutter when they are born, so that they will not be able to rush around and wander around.
This is not a solution!
Cai Hongming thought distressedly, he could not use medicine. After all, there are livestock here, and it is not advisable to use medicine to poison rats and cause many harm. It is useless to use a mouse cage. At most, it can only be used once. If you use it again, you will not dare to go in when you smell it. The thief saw the mouse cage. It is not enough to dig a mouse hole or smoke the mouse hole. When will these hundreds of acres of land be obtained?
After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea. How could he forget the white jade scorpion?
It is now the Scorpion King of this desert. Isn’t it just asking it to take its subordinates to sweep these gerbils at night? Thinking of it, he hurriedly walked towards the hillside where the white jade scorpion was. The black and white evil spirits followed immediately.
