On the other hand, the villagers were in such a miserable state, and the educated youth were even more frightened.
The courtyard of the educated youth is open, unlike the houses of the villagers, which basically have their own doors and courtyards and can be closed by the gate.
When the rat army rushed into the educated youth compound, both male and female educated youth screamed and ran out frantically.
"Oh my God! There really is a rat plague. The prediction of the forest fire came true."
"Oh my God! There are so many rats here! Our house... wuwu! Could it be that the food we stored... was all eaten by them?"
"Ah! It hurts! I was bitten by a rat just now and a piece of flesh fell off. Will I die? I heard that rat bites are very poisonous!"
"What should we do? What should we do now?"
"What else can I do? I'll just run to another house in the village to take shelter! Are you going to run back and feed the rats?"
"Ah! Other houses? Look, many houses in the village are on fire, and there are so many rats..."
…
The group of educated youths looked at each other in bewilderment. Many of them had run out without even having time to put on their shoes in the freezing cold wind. They were now shivering with cold.
However, now the educated youth compound has been occupied by a group of rats.
They didn't dare to run back. Being able to escape safely was already a blessing.
Male educated youth like Zhong Yuejin and Tian Jinbu have been called by deputy team leader Lin Shuisheng in recent days to build some rat-proof ditches or other measures in the educated youth compound.
These male educated youth thought it was troublesome and didn't take it seriously at all.
Now the rat plague has really come...
These young intellectuals who grew up in the city were completely frightened and left with psychological trauma.
"Who... who said mice aren't scary? They can be crushed with one foot! Go try it now..."
"It's so cold! When will those rats leave? How long do we have to wait outside... A-choo..."
…
After waiting in the cold wind for more than an hour, the group of about three or four hundred mice finally ran out of the educated youth compound one after another, feeling satisfied.
The educated youth hurried back to take a look, only to see the place in ruins.
All their stored food, books, beddings, etc. were destroyed by these rats.
The large bunk beds for the male and female educated youth were also covered with rat droppings and footprints.
The educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never encountered such a situation before.
For the rest of the time, everyone huddled together, remaining alert at all times, because they were also afraid that the rats would come back again...
…
The next day, early in the morning!
When Lin Huowang opened his eyes, it was already noon.
He was no longer sleeping at the door of the granary. Lin Shuisheng dragged him to the warm bed inside the granary and covered him with a quilt.
After all, the granary often needed people to guard it at night, so people could live inside.
“Hmm…”
After stretching, Lin Huowang walked out of the granary.
The fire in the rat-proof ditch had been extinguished, but the charred rat carcasses inside looked even more disgusting.
The air in the entire Linjiagou Production Brigade was filled with a smell that was both like barbecue and had a rotten flavor.
Lin Huowang felt a little nauseous, especially when he thought of the swarm of rats that swarmed like a tide yesterday. He shook his head quickly to get rid of these bad images from his mind.
"Uncle Shuisheng! How is it? Have you calculated the losses caused by the rat plague?"
Lin Huowang went straight to the production team office opposite and saw Lin Shuisheng and several village cadres discussing something inside!
He walked in quickly and asked.
After all, this is also the issue that Lin Huowang is most concerned about.
If he could not reduce the losses compared to the previous history if he had to do it all over again, then how much of a failure he would be!
"Ah! Awang, you're awake! Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Lin Shuisheng immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The other production team cadres also looked at Lin Huowang with a smile.
The way they looked at Lin Huowang at this moment was completely different from the disdain or contempt they had shown before.
Instead, it was filled with an incredible sense of reverence.
But even so, Lin Shuisheng was very dissatisfied with the attitude of several cadres towards Lin Huowang.
He immediately snorted and said to them: "If it weren't for Awang's advance warnings and precautions, the rat plague yesterday would have been a disaster.
I don’t know how many people died in our Linjiagou Production Brigade!
It's you guys who previously said that Awang was not good at this or that.
Now it seems that Awang is a great benefactor to our Linjiagou Production Brigade."
After hearing this, another deputy team leader, the women's director, the militia leader, several production team leaders, and others all quickly smiled and complimented Lin Huowang.
"Awang, thank goodness for you! The rats yesterday were so scary. Without the rat-proof trench you asked us to dig, I'm afraid we wouldn't have any food left.
And he didn’t even know he was carried away by a mouse in the middle of the night!”
"That's right! Awang, my wife doesn't believe you yet!
If I hadn't forced him, he would definitely not be willing to dig the rat-proof ditch these two days.
Fortunately! The family next door believed in the evil of Lin Jianguo and Zhang Debiao. Now, the elderly in the family have been bitten to death by rats, and a child has also died. They started to go crazy early in the morning..."
