Looking at the eyes of his eldest son Lin Aiguo that were still open, Lin Jianguo could no longer hold back his tears. He suddenly burst into tears and completely broke down.
…
At this time, other villagers in the Linjiagou Production Brigade were also facing the threat of rat infestation.
Although the number of rats breaking into their homes would not be as many as in Linhuowang and Linjianguo.
After all, mice rely on their noses to smell food, and ordinary farmers don't have much food stored in their homes, so naturally there are fewer mice.
But when hundreds or thousands of rats suddenly burst in, it was really scary.
Not to mention, many people were suddenly woken up by rats while they were sleeping.
Most of these people believed what Lin Jianguo said, that even if rats caused a disaster, it was no big deal.
First, they did not dig a rat-proof ditch at the door, and second, they did not bring any diesel home.
As a result, after being bitten awake, they could only watch helplessly as the rats chewed up everything in their house, edible or inedible.
Even the wooden tables and chairs in some villagers' homes were gnawed away to the point of being broken here and there.
But fortunately, there were not too many rats surrounding the villagers' homes.
As long as they didn't hide at home stupidly and wait for death, most people successfully escaped from home.
As for the villagers who believed in the prosperity of forest fire and the growth of forest water, they dug rat-proof ditches outside their yards and used fire to drive away the rats in a reasonable way. Basically, their homes were not harmed and their food supplies were successfully preserved.
Especially when they saw other people’s houses on fire, people dying, and people running for their lives.
I was even more frightened, and at this moment I was extremely grateful and thankful for Lin Huowang's reminder.
at the same time……
Deputy Captain Lin Shuisheng left his own family and ran to the team's granary.
Because the granary contains the most food, the rats will probably smell the scent and gather here.
After giving instructions to his wife and children at home, Lin Shuisheng immediately went to the granary alone.
Sure enough, when he arrived, there were already at least several thousand rats surrounding outside.
Lin Shuisheng quickly lit a few torches and walked towards the gate of the granary while driving away the rats.
“Fortunately, we listened to Awang and reinforced the granary.
And the rat-proof ditch outside is really... it has at least kept out hundreds of rats."
Looking at the densely packed rat corpses under the rat-proof ditch, Lin Shuisheng felt a surge of fear.
If there wasn't this rat-proof ditch, I'm afraid the entire production team's grain depot would have been occupied by the army of rats by now?
Jumping over the rat-proof ditch, Lin Shuisheng saw that more than a dozen rats had climbed up, stepping on the corpses of their companions.
Immediately, a shovel was used to smash the rats that climbed up into meat patties.
“There are so many rats outside, I don’t know if any of them have sneaked in.
As Awang said, let’s burn the rat-proof ditch outside first, and I will deal with the ones inside slowly.”
Thinking of this, Lin Shuisheng immediately threw down a torch, instantly igniting the diesel blocks buried underneath.
Boom! Wow! Wow...
Squeak...
The flames suddenly ignited, and the rats immediately scattered in panic.
Also because the production team was very large, the originally huge swarm of rats was scattered to each household, and the size of the swarm of rats that finally remained in the granary was actually not very large.
Lin Shuisheng was also sweating. Seeing the rats retreating, he slapped to death the last few rats that crawled over the rat-proof ditch.
Then……
He opened the door of the granary very cautiously.
A squeak!
After opening the door of the granary, Lin Shuisheng immediately said to himself, "Oh no!"
Although it was too dark to see the specific situation inside, he could already hear some rustling sounds of rats crawling and gnawing.
"Oh no! Some mice actually got in..."
Lin Shuisheng knew he was late, so he shone the torch inside.
Then I saw a dozen mice that had come in from some crack in the wall and were gnawing on potatoes, sweet potatoes and other food scattered nearby.
"Smash you beasts to death..."
Lin Shuisheng rushed forward and while the mice were busy eating, he quickly flattened them one by one.
Only a few of them were so scared that they ran towards the gate, but they fell into the burning rat-proof ditch and died.
"Phew! It's okay! It's okay! It's just that these potatoes and sweet potatoes are ruined."
After looking around, Lin Shuisheng found that the granaries were all compacted very tightly and there were also measures to prevent rats.
Just these dozen or so mice could not cause any big waves and were unable to push away the heavy objects pressing on the granary.
Unless there really were thousands of rats running in, the granary would definitely be in trouble.
But even so…
At this moment, Lin Shuisheng looked at the rat still sizzling outside, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart.
"This time, if it weren't for Awang's reminder and the preparations we made, the consequences... the consequences would be really disastrous!"
“It’s all Lin Jianguo’s fault for going against Awang.
He was so determined not to believe that there would be a rat plague. I'm afraid there are many people who believed him, and now... their families have been destroyed!"
"When I came here just now, several houses were on fire. Even Accountant Zhang and Lin Jianguo were not spared."
"Hey! Fortunately, the grain in the granary has been saved. At least we have this grain. Our production team can still hold on for a while longer."
