Even though they were all together, they were all extremely busy, and Liu Xiaoyu even brought them dinner to the workshop.
"My lady, it's getting late. Let's eat before you get busy." She smiled and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
“Okay.” Luo Xi stopped what she was doing, walked to the table and sat down. At that moment, she noticed a small wound on Liu Xiaoyu’s middle finger out of the corner of her eye.
"How did you get hurt?" She thought Liu Xiaoyu had cooked again: "Didn't I tell you to let the servants do it? You didn't need to do it yourself."
Liu Xiaoyu chuckled and scratched her forehead: "No, my lady, I didn't cook."
She raised her hand and touched the wound, looking annoyed. "It was a rat bite."
"When I was tidying up in the room earlier, a rat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bit my finger. But it wasn't serious, so don't worry, Master."
mouse?
This can't be taken lightly. Luo Xi handed over a few pills: "Just in case, take these."
"It's nothing, Master, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a couple of days." Liu Xiaoyu didn't take the food box, picked it up and went out.
Rosie had no choice but to put the medicine back. Maybe she was overthinking it; there were no rats around.
After quickly finishing her meal, she led a few people to soak seeds, but after only a short while, she heard a few "squeaks" in her ears.
The sound was very faint, but Rosie could still tell it was the sound of a mouse.
She put down what she was doing and tiptoed toward the source of the sound.
The Azure Dragon glanced at it curiously, but didn't pay it any mind. Then, a moment later: "Ah—"
"Damn it, how come there are so many rats?" He leaped and jumped straight onto the roof beam.
On the ground, beneath the grain sacks that Luo Xi had removed, were pairs of black, reddish rat eyes staring intently at the group, poised to attack at any moment.
Luo Xi instinctively raised her hand, and several streams of supernatural energy flew out, instantly killing more than a dozen rats.
Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the roof beam.
Jiuxian looked at him with eyes full of disdain.
The White Tiger pointed at him and laughed loudly: "Azure Dragon, you're no good."
Qinglong coughed lightly and touched his nose. It's normal to be startled when a dense swarm of rats suddenly appears.
"Boss, could there be more over there?" he asked in a trembling voice, pointing to the piles of grain sacks over there.
“Possibly. You all step back.” Without turning her head, Loxi gave the order, then used her supernatural ability to move the grain sacks from a distance.
Suddenly, more furry creatures appeared, one on top of the other, their bodies ramrod straight, their slightly red eyes staring in this direction.
Everyone: "..."
Before the group could react, the rats began squeaking and scurrying about. Some even jumped up and lunged at them with their mouths open, looking extremely fierce.
Qinglong: "..." You jinx.
He raised his hand and slapped himself twice, then picked up a piece of wood and slapped the rat that hopped quickly in front of him.
Loxi unleashed her powers in both hands, leaving behind a pile of rat corpses with each strike.
"Be careful not to get bitten, and don't let their blood get into your eyes," she warned.
Baihu also picked up a piece of wood and slapped it left and right, acting all high and mighty: "It's nothing, a rat's mouth is so small, what's wrong with taking a few bites?"
Nine Strings' moves were fierce, but he was only focused on killing rats.
"Yes, boss, we've all been bitten by wolves, but this little thing will be fine." Qinglong didn't seem too concerned.
Loxi: "..."
"Hmph, a bite from an ordinary rat is fine, but what if it carries a disease? Do you want to get the plague?"
plague?
My God, that's a deadly thing!
Qinglong's expression changed, and he became much more cautious in his movements.
Jiuxian paused, no longer killing the rat with his bare hands. Instead, imitating the White Tiger and Azure Dragon, he grabbed a wooden board and swatted the rat away from a distance.
"Big, Big Boss, you're not kidding, are you?" White Tiger raised his right hand with a mournful face, revealing two rows of small teeth marks on his well-defined middle finger.
Luo Xi was truly exasperated with him: "Aren't you one of the Four Protectors of the Red Chamber? You're just a bunch of rats..."
White Tiger himself was also puzzled: "Boss, is there really a plague?"
"I'm just guessing, it's not necessarily true." Loshi quickly swatted a mouse away and said uncertainly, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Baihu was a little flustered, but then he remembered that he had been bitten by venomous snakes during training and had been fine, so he calmed down.
All four were skilled in martial arts, and in just a quarter of an hour, the rats were wiped out.
Luo, envisioning the various seeds soaking in a pile of dead rats, covered in blood and fur, cursed angrily, "Damn it!"
These past few days have been a complete waste of time and energy; I've even squandered so much of her spiritual spring water.
Jiuxian was even more direct, staring intently at Luo Xi with eyes full of resentment.
Loxi: "..."
"If you're so angry, then eat them if you dare." She was referring to the soaked seeds: "Anyway, you've done this before, so this time the flavor is even richer, with rice and meat."
"I have a brain." Jiuxian turned his head away and ignored her.
Luo Xi was just joking: "Qinglong, have some people clean this up. Remember, don't let the blood get into your eyes or wounds."
"After you've cleaned it up, find a place, dig a hole, burn it to ashes, and bury it all, just in case."
"Yes, boss."
Luo Xi thought for a moment and decided to go to the granary to check if it had also been infested with rats.
Cockroaches and rats are so annoying.
Just as Jiuxian and he stepped out of the workshop, they bumped into Wei Cheng, whose hair was disheveled, clothes were in disarray, and he looked extremely disheveled.
As soon as he saw Luo Xi, he shouted, "Boss, hurry and save Sanlang! Sanlang is dying!"
Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat: "The Wei family is also suffering from a rat infestation?"
Wei Cheng then noticed that Luo Xi's clothes were also somewhat disheveled. Although they were much better than his, it was still clear that he had just been through a fight. The Ninth Floor Master next to him was the same.
"Is it the same here?" he asked incredulously.
Luo Xi hummed in agreement: "Just finished eliminating them."
"Tell me about the Wei family, what happened?" she asked as she walked quickly toward them.
Wei Cheng's eyes immediately reddened: "The master wasn't feeling well today, so he ate and went to bed early."
"But who knew, not long after, a scream came from inside the house, and when we went in, he..."
Wei Cheng choked up instantly: "He was covered in rats."
Loxi: "..."
"Wait a minute." She turned and went back into her room, grabbed a first-aid kit, and came out again: "Jiuxian, go and call Nan Wushang."
"Understood." Jiuxian flashed away.
When Luo Xi arrived, the rats in the Wei mansion had already been killed off, and the servants were cleaning up the mess. They didn't have Luo Xi's skills, so many of them had bite marks on their bodies.
Luo Xi's mood plummeted to rock bottom: "Where is Wei Qing? Take me there quickly."
I hope nothing serious happens.
