Chapter 189 Danger
Zhang Aihua and his friends didn't catch a single rat until evening.
It is impossible for everyone to not sleep and keep their eyes open to guard their belongings.
More people think that Zhang Aihua’s worry is a bit too much.
No matter how powerful the rat's teeth are, they are only as big as a small fist. They caught less than fifty in total.
Even if they steal fish to eat, they will probably die after two or three bites.
Everyone was tired and went back to their own little nests and fell into a deep sleep.
The man on night duty yawned as he looked at the fire in front of him.
Zhang Aihua and Song Yufang whispered, "Rats have a strong reproductive capacity. We're just worried they'll find a place to have several litters."
"No matter how powerful the rat is, we can still control it. Besides, your son also said that at worst we can just borrow a dog from Jiang Si."
Zhang Aihua didn't really like to bother Jiang Si and the others. If he could solve the problem, he would definitely want to do it himself. He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let's go to bed first and see if we can catch some mice tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Soon, everyone fell into a dream.
"ah--"
A terrifying scream echoed in the cave. Everyone was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly stood up and grabbed the weapons around them.
Song Yufang also picked up the dagger reflexively.
Zhang Aihua patted her twice affectionately, put on his clothes, and quickly went outside.
Brother Qiu covered his ears, unable to stop the blood from flowing.
Everyone asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"Bitten by a rat!"
"Where's the rat?"
"I don't know where it went, damn it, if I catch it, I'll chop it into pieces!"
Everyone was thankful and said, "Luckily it wasn't your eye that was bitten. It's just a flesh wound that can be healed with a bandage. This rat is too rampant!"
Brother Qiu suddenly felt fortunate that the bite did not hit his eyes.
If he bites his eye, he will become blind in one eye.
Song Yufang whispered, "Skin injuries are easy to treat, but I'm worried about the plague."
When I was in City S before, there was a rat plague and many people were bitten and developed redness, swelling and allergies.
Zhang Aihua's heart sank. If a rat plague broke out, no one would be able to escape because everyone had come into contact with or indirectly come into contact with the rats.
He felt that there was no time to waste, so he said to everyone, "Let's look carefully and see if we can catch the rat. If not, I'll ask Mr. Qin to borrow a dog at dawn."
"good!"
Everyone lit torches and continued looking for the rat.
Qin Shen heard everything they did.
Qin Shen told Jiang Si, and Jiang Si said, "This kind of rat shouldn't really cause the plague, right?"
Qin Shen shook his head. "Not necessarily. It might be a bacterial infection. There are many cases of lesions, and there might not be any symptoms."
Jiang Linhai had been bitten by rats all over his body before, but fortunately, he was not infected with the rat infestation. He just had some allergies, which he recovered after taking medicine.
Jiang Si said, "I hope so." He added, "These rats are very destructive. It's better to catch them to prevent them from spreading to our area and destroying our supplies."
Especially the underground seed bank, if they get in, it will be a paradise for rats.
Qin Shen hugged her and kissed her, "Don't worry, we are not vegetarians."
The monkeys may even feel that what is delivered to them is not enough.
If they had discovered Shushu at that time, they might not have come to their house to do their bidding.
However, they are now accustomed to being in captivity and probably don't want to live a life of catching mice in the wind and snow.
After a whole night of hard work, Zhang Aihua and his team caught several more rats.
However, the numbers still don’t match.
Everyone in the cave was worried that the rats would attack and bite people at night.
Zhang Aihua found Jiang Si via pager, "Ms. Jiang, we have a request, could you please help us?"
Jiang Sidao: "You guys tell me."
Zhang Aihua thought for a moment before saying, "Can we borrow your dog to help us find the escaped rat? This kind of rat has very sharp teeth and can bite people. Everyone is terrified."
Jiang Si replied readily, "Yes, Dahei and Xiaohei will be there soon."
Zhang Aihua quickly thanked: "Thank you, thank you!"
Jiang Si was worried about Dahei and Xiaohei going alone.
She and Qin Shen also went together.
As soon as they arrived at Zhang Aihua and his friends' cave, Zhang Aihua and his friends came to greet them and took out their best things to entertain Jiang Si and his friends.
Jiang Si shook his head and said, "Let's look at Dahei and Xiaohei."
Dahei and Xiaohei sniffed the cage containing the furry mice and immediately started to move. After a while, Dahei stopped in front of a small hole in a cave.
It barked twice. Zhang Aihua squatted down and shone the flashlight inside. A frightened rat jumped out quickly.
The next second, Xiao Hei caught it in his mouth.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it didn't run away.
Immediately afterwards, Dahei and Xiaohei went around the cave again and caught more than a dozen mice one after another.
Jiang Si touched their heads and gave them snacks as rewards.
Dahei and Xiaohei found another furry mouse in the firewood pile outside the cave.
Dahei and Xiaohei became quiet, probably because there were no more mice around the cave.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took out the previously baked vulture jerky for Dahei and Xiaohei to eat.
Dahei and Xiaohei will not eat food given by others.
It stands with its head proudly, looking very majestic.
Zhang Yiwen was so envious. Jiang Si and the others had moose, dogs and monkeys. He wished he had a puppy too.
He whispered to Jiang Si: "Are they a pair?"
Jiang Si knew what he was thinking. If Dahei and Xiaohei were to be a couple, he would ask Jiang Si and the little one.
Jiang Si shook his head, "They are mother and son."
Zhang Yiwen was a little disappointed. It seemed that he would not be able to have a puppy in his lifetime.
Just as Jiang Si and Qin Shen were about to go back, someone suddenly shouted outside, "There's a vulture! There's another vulture!"
Jiang Si was shocked. Could it be that they were flying in spring, summer, autumn and winter?
She and Qin Shen walked out of the cave. Qin Shen narrowed his eyes, his gaze heavy, "It's not Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. It smells like a stranger. Let's go!"
Before Jiang Si could react, Qin Shen picked her up and rushed back quickly.
Big Black and Little Black followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Zhang Aihua and others hurriedly called out to everyone to quickly enter the cave and block the entrance.
There was a whistling wind in his ears, which showed how anxious Qin Shen was to get back.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
It was gunfire, coming from the icebreaker.
Jiang Si was also anxious.
Shen Baoying and the others are in danger.
Qin Shen's pace became even faster, almost carrying her into the air.
When she looked up, she could clearly see that countless vultures were flying towards them with a targeted purpose.
Jiang Si took out his pistol and kept shooting.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Several vultures fell, and the person sitting on the largest vulture also noticed them.
