There are rats everywhere now, and we don't know if these rats carry any disease.

Mosquito glanced at Su Qian as if pleading for help; he simply couldn't continue his fabrication.

Su Qian took a bite of durian before saying, "I think they're quite cute, so I'm keeping them."

Cocoa is cute?

The mosquito shuddered. Only a pervert like Asahi would find that disgusting rat cute.

Shang Tian said helplessly, "You can't keep them. Just don't keep all the rats in Jizhou."

They'll eat them out of house and home.

Su Qian thought for a moment and asked, "Can I keep cockroaches as pets?"

The cockroaches must be quite fast at turning over the floor.

Shang Tian frowned. They were already struggling to deal with rats. If cockroaches came out, would they even have a chance to survive?

He sighed and asked, "How many rats and cockroaches are there in Jizhou?"

Su Qian shook her head, "The Counter is dead."

There are simply too many to count, okay?

They're everywhere, so densely packed, how can you count them?

"What?" Shang Tian looked at Su Qian with a puzzled expression. Who is the Counting Master?

Su Qian waved her hand, and with a melancholy look, she put it more bluntly, "I can't count them all."

Shang Tian sighed and didn't continue the topic. He simply stepped forward, took Su Qian's hand, and walked along the main road in the village. "How about we set our wedding date for the fifteenth of next month?"

"Okay." Su Qian had no objections at all; she was going to get married sooner or later anyway.

Shang Tian turned his head and smiled as he looked at Su Qian's willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. "Qian, you are so beautiful."

Really?

"real."

Su Qian tiptoed and gently kissed Shang Tian's lips. "You look good too."

The mosquito, standing behind the two, had its mouth full of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a couple's public display of affection) and felt very thirsty, so it went to find a glass of water to drink.

"Mosquitoes." Wu Weisheng stood in front of the mosquitoes, rubbing his hands together, and said, "I don't think the harvest for CDs will be very good this year..."

What's this miser up to now?

The mosquito asked impatiently, "Just say what you have to say."

"I was thinking, since there's a rat infestation everywhere, we should catch a bunch of rats, keep their fur to make clothes for winter, and bury their meat in the ground to fertilize the land."

The mosquito didn't agree immediately; he simply said, "Let me think about it."

This method is feasible, but he still needs to see what Shang Tian thinks.

Killing these rats is no easy task, let alone catching them.

"The land can't be without fertilizer..."

Wu Weisheng wanted to say a few more words to finalize the matter, but Wenzi waved her hand and said, "I know what you're saying, but you have to give me some time to think about it, right?"

Wu Weisheng responded twice, exchanged a few polite words with the mosquito, and then left.

Without wasting any time, Mosquito went straight to the Shang family and told Shang Tian what had happened. "Young Master, what do you think?"

Shang Tian didn't immediately agree. Su Qian, standing to the side, looked at him with confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Everything else is fine, but how do we get the rats back?"

This is no small amount; it will require a considerable number of people.

The mosquitoes were also in a dilemma: "We don't have much cotton or quilts prepared this year, and this batch of rats is a good opportunity."

Why don't we use some of the patrolmen to transport it?

"No."

Seeing their troubled expressions, Su Qian asked in confusion, "Why are you transporting rats? Don't they have legs?"

Why not just let them come over on their own?

Shang Tian's eyes lit up. "A Qian is the smartest one."
