There were only two women at home, and the Zhong family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were particularly alert and careful, "Who is it?"
Hearing Zhong's mother's voice, Jiang Ning said, "It's me, from the 18th floor."
Mrs. Zhong opened the door, looking surprised and nervous, "Aning, has something happened?"
Before she could say anything, the dog rushed in, followed by a hissing and biting sound.
Afraid of misunderstanding, Jiang Ning quickly explained: "A few red-eyed rats have entered the 18th floor. They are very ferocious, not afraid of people and bite things everywhere."
Grandma Zhong came out of the room and asked, "Is there really a mouse?"
Looking at the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it seemed that they had known about the rat infestation for a long time, so they were not particularly shocked, but there was anxiety and worry in their eyes.
The dog and the rat fought on the balcony, and there was a loud crackling sound.
The balcony was filled with flower pots and planting troughs, in which were planted sweet potato seedlings, which were bitten off by red-eyed mice.
The dog rushed in and did some amazing work, killing three mice in total. Two of them escaped visibly, and there were fresh mouse droppings scattered on the ground.
Not only were there rats on the balcony, but they also got into the living room, biting holes in the sofa to reveal the food bags hidden inside.
The bag was bitten and the food inside spilled out.
The Zhong family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't expect the mouse to be so ferocious, and they were terrified for a moment.
If the food is taken away, the Zhong family will have no chance of survival.
Grandma Zhong was still frightened, "Xiao Jiang, thank you so much for tonight."
"It's okay." Seeing the dog staking out its territory again, Jiang Ning explained awkwardly, "Mice don't seem to be afraid of people, but they are still afraid of dogs."
"It's good that you're afraid of dogs." Grandma Zhong had seen a lot in her life, so how could she not understand the dog's dedication? She praised it highly in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning did everything he could and left with the dog.
After closing the door, Zhong's mother was terrified. "Mom, the big cockroaches are scary enough, and now there are red-eyed rats that are not afraid of people. How can we live like this?"
Grandma Zhong sighed, "How else can we live? Every day is a profit."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were no longer sleepy, so they found all the hidden food and locked it in an iron cabinet.
I cleaned the balcony with a flashlight, replanted the sweet potato seedlings that were bitten by mice, and brought them into the room for protection.
"Mom, what should I do with the dead mouse?"
All three are of considerable size, and appear to weigh about one kilogram each.
Mother Zhong had mixed emotions, she was scared but also a little excited, because this was meat.
But when I thought about what they ate to grow up, my stomach suddenly churned.
Grandma Zhong thought about it and said helplessly: "Slaughter them first, dry the meat and keep it aside. Make sure there is no problem before eating it."
If given a choice, who would want to eat rat meat? There's no way out.
It is true that we have stockpiled some food at home, but who knows what the future situation will be, so we still have to plan ahead.
Mother Zhong listened to her mother-in-law and endured the discomfort to work.
…
With the dog around, Jiang Ning slept soundly until dawn.
After breakfast, I sat on the sofa and read a book with the air conditioner on.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden noise from next door, followed by Lu Yu's anxious voice asking for help on the intercom, "Aning, fire support, hurry up and get Coke over here, another red-eyed rat is coming in."
The gate was not locked, so the dog opened both doors with ease, started the four-wheel drive and ran to the next door.
The damn red-eyed rat got into the room, crawling around in all kinds of ways, fighting wits with humans, dogs, rats and humans chasing each other, vases shattered, lamps smashed...
The three men and the dog fought for two hours and finally killed several damn rats. They threw their bodies on the rooftop to vent their anger.
Tired of reading, Jiang Ning stood up, walked around and stretched.
Through the glass door, she actually saw three mice gathered at the stainless steel mesh that had been bitten last night, gnawing on the glass openly, while the rat poison next to it had long been eaten up.
This damn thing was so rampant that it dared to come out in broad daylight and even provoked her crazily in front of her.
Do you really think that her deterrent power is not as great as that of a dog?
Open the door, they are not afraid at all, and continue to gnaw the gauze and glass with their sharp teeth, their red eyes shining with strange light.
Jiang Ning was angry and the consequences were serious.
She took out boiling water from the space and poured it on them.
The mouse squeaked and fell from the high-rise balcony into the water...
The 18th floor is relatively okay, but downstairs it’s quite noisy, with all kinds of noises ringing out.
How should I put it? It’s a mixed bag.
What worries me is that rats are ferocious and rampant and are not afraid of people, but what makes me happy is that I can eat meat as long as I kill them.
As for what the mice ate to grow up, they were almost starving to death, who would care about that?
Therefore, the survivors not only killed rats at home, but also opened the doors and searched for rats in empty houses or corridors.
Some are so good that they can even make simple mousetraps.
Of course, there were also people who were woken up by rats in the middle of the night and had to borrow rubber boats from everywhere to go to the hospital.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Coke kept running back and forth between the two floors, peeing everywhere to mark his territory.
I have to admit that the smell of urine does have a deterrent effect, but it evaporates too quickly in the hot weather.
Seeing that his balcony was damaged, Gouzi decisively repaired it.
Then, it fell to the ground exhausted and stuck out its tongue: Shit shoveler, give me a bottle of Pocari Sweat. It has contributed too much to this family. If I don’t give it some water, it really won’t be able to pee.
Jiang Ning took out an extra-large washbasin and filled it up.
Huo Yishen was not idle either. He opened the triple doors on the 17th floor and let Doudou out.
I stayed with my sister throughout the whole process and let her play freely.
At dinner that night, Doudou was extremely happy, "Sister, I killed several mice today."
Jiang Ning was surprised, "How did you kill him?"
"Shoot with a crossbow."
With Coke there, there were not many rats on the 17th and 18th floors, and Doudou had no chance to practice at all, so her brother took her downstairs.
