Xiao Bai, who was still in shock, looked at the big rat that was burned into a handful of ashes, looked at the so-called "uncle" with a smug look on his face, and then looked at the people around who were attracted by the rat's screams and came to watch. It seemed that the noise was a bit too loud?
After his heartbeat returned to normal, Xiao Bai said, "Well, setting fire on the street doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?"
He had just shown off his skills and killed the mad rats. He was thinking that this young man must be impressed by his handsome demeanor, and would immediately rush over to him and beg him to teach him, take him with him, and give him a talisman, just like the young men who saw him show off his skills before:...
How is this different from the agreed reaction?
My uncle shook the other talisman in his hand. Was it because his appearance was not handsome enough?
So he cleared his throat and coughed a few times, then unnoticeably threw the talisman in his hand in front of Xiao Bai, pretending to be casual and posing like a master.
Xiao Bai looked at the hand stretched out before her eyes, and the yellow talisman paper in her hand. She snatched the yellow talisman paper from her uncle's hand and immediately bent down and bowed:
"Thank you, Uncle. Although I don't know what this is for, since you insisted on giving it to me as a gift, I feel embarrassed but I have no choice but to accept it."
Uncle: ········
He snatched the yellow talisman paper from Xiao Bai's hand, puffed his beard and glared, saying: "How can young people always think of accepting gifts from elders without working for them? Young people should respect the elderly and love the young, and work hard on their own!"
What a joke! He doesn't even have a few of these talismans himself! How could he just give them away? Besides, this young man seems to have a problem with his eyesight! He was so handsome that he even solved the pollution-mad rats. Isn't she shocked and in awe? Are young people nowadays so bold?
My great uncle was puzzled and confused. He waved his hand and didn't want to pay any more attention to this tactless young man.
Xiao Bai:...
Can I take back the gift?! That's it? I'm afraid they're a fake relative!
When Mr. and Mrs. Xiao came to pick up their daughter after hearing the news, they saw Xiao Bai with a stern face and a look of doubt on his life.
"Mom, that's really my great uncle. You didn't recognize the wrong person, did you?"
Mother Xiao: ·······
Maybe, it seemed, she was right? Could it be that she had misremembered it?
The next day, during class, everyone knew Xiao Bai had encountered a mad rat the previous day. They also learned that an old man in the security team had a talisman that could set fires with a flick of his finger. As a result, when Grandpa Uncle went to the square to write calligraphy, a crowd gathered around him, demanding to see the magical talisman. The crowd was furious: "What are you looking for? How can he survive if he sees it? They're all just relatives from the same village! I won't let them see it!"
Xiao Yao also came up curiously and asked Xiao Bai: "So you weren't afraid yesterday? If I had encountered a big rat like that and it pounced on me, I would have screamed in fear!"
Xiao Bai recalled yesterday's scene and said helplessly, "At that time, I was only thinking about how to avoid the big rat and how to guard against the big rat's attack. I didn't have time to be afraid. Thinking about it now, I am still quite scared. By the way, how is the person who was bitten by the rat?"
"He's in the village clinic. I heard he's being kept in a separate room. The village chief is trying to figure out how to treat him. I don't know if he'll catch that crazy disease."
Yesterday, when Xiao's mother and father learned that Xiao Bai was attacked by a mad rat, they immediately rushed over to take Xiao Bai home. They then examined Xiao Bai carefully, fearing that she had been scratched by the rat. After learning that she was not injured, they comforted her.
Xiao Bai was helpless. Honestly, this rat wasn't even as big as her rooster. Perhaps it was because she'd fought roosters so many times as a child that she had ample experience dealing with animal attacks, which was why she was able to quickly dodge when the rat pounced on her. After all, when she was at home, the pecking rooster would always hide in a corner waiting for her to come home from school, then suddenly fly out from somewhere and peck her. Facing an attacking animal, she had developed a keen sixth sense, able to enter combat mode in an instant, focusing all her attention on dealing with the animal's attack. Although she felt fear and terror, the facts told her that fear and terror could not help her solve the current crisis. She could only deal with it calmly and calmly.
Now, all aspects of her body have been greatly improved, including reaction ability, speed, strength, and even her five senses have become more acute. Sometimes, she even feels that she has cultivated "internal force" and there is a flow of air in her body, which allows her to increase her speed and strength when she concentrates her "internal force" and attention.
This was one of the reasons why she was able to dodge the crazy rat so swiftly yesterday. Otherwise, based on her previous physical fitness, even if she could feel the rat's attack in advance, her body's reaction ability and speed would not be able to keep up.
After Xiao Bai returned home yesterday, he didn't have time to inquire about the follow-up events. However, Xiao Yao, after learning that Xiao Bai was attacked by a mad animal, immediately called her and went to the village to join in the fun.
"You know what? He just returned home a few days ago, and he brought back that big rat. I heard it was a hamster, and he has raised it for a year. In fact, the hamster was a little abnormal a few days ago, but he thought the hamster was just in heat, and he even used a small cotton swab to rub the hamster's butt. Do you think he is brave? Hahaha..." Xiao Yao said while laughing and pounding the table.
Xiao Bai was speechless: "Is it really okay for you to gloat over someone else's misfortune like this? Everyone is watching you!"
"Who told him not to report the hamster even though he knew it was abnormal? He almost got you hurt! A few days ago, the aunties went door to door asking for the animal to be registered!"
"Who knows? I guess the village chief will have to conduct a strict inspection of the animals in the village next time."
Over the next few days, the village chief not only rigorously registered and checked all the animals in the village, but also stepped up patrols. All of Xiao Bai and his classmates were also required to patrol with the security team. Based on their previous groups, the village chief assigned each group at least one patrol per week, allowing them to gain experience alongside the security team. Xiao Bai, Xiao Yao, and Zhang Kai were assigned to the same group. Furthermore, the martial arts teacher enhanced the curriculum and distributed a basic weapon—a staff—to the students.
"So this is the fire stick at the beginning?" Xiao Bai doubted his life as he looked at the stick in his hand.
"It could also be a dog-beating stick!" Xiao Yao swung the stick a few times at the large wolfhounds squatting nearby, glaring at them and baring their teeth, supervising their homework. She threatened, "Wait until I learn how to use the dog-beating stick technique, and I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Woof woof woof!" the big wolfhounds fought back fiercely.
Xiao Bai rolled his eyes: "Childish!"
