Chapter 103 I’m afraid something is going to happen
"Catch mice."
Someone suddenly roared, instantly breaking the silence on the street.
That's meat!
In an instant, those who had not opened the door before rushed out, shouting and yelling, some holding pot lids, some holding wooden ladles, a huge group of people just to catch those mice.
This scene is so scary. The mouse's legs must have gone limp, and it would have fainted on the ground with its short legs shaking before it was caught. Come on, give it a quick death!
So a villager quickly picked up the frightened mouse and put it in his arms.
The others were so jealous their eyes turned red: "Why did you get there first?"
The other three also went into other people's pockets one after another. At this time, the street was full of people, old and young, young and middle-aged men with sweat on their faces. Who didn't want to catch a mouse?
Looking at the chaos downstairs, Ding Xiaodie was completely stunned!
Although she saw it with her own eyes, she still couldn't recover for a long time.
A few mice actually made the whole village excited! o(╥﹏╥)o
Just when Ding Xiaodie thought the matter was over, she suddenly saw a group of mice biting each other's tails and just happened to run out of her house.
There are probably about seven or eight of them.
When these rats saw so many people on the street, they did not stop moving forward. Instead, they quickened their pace and rushed madly towards the other side of the road.
"mouse!"
This time, Ding Xiaodie quickly pointed to the street to remind everyone.
Since everyone wants to eat meat anyway, we can just catch a few more and help every family we can.
The villagers, who were originally a little disappointed, heard the cry and started looking everywhere. After finding the mouse, everyone became excited again. They ran over and covered it with the pot lid, hit it with wooden ladles, and stepped on it!
Ding Xiaodie: “…”
By the way, why are there so many mice hiding in their house?
She originally thought that her home was very safe!
wrong.
Ding Xiaodie's expression of joy as she watched everyone catching mice suddenly froze.
No, no, this is not right.
In years like these, many people starved to death, and rats also needed water and food. Although their survival ability is unique in the animal kingdom, rats would never be so stupid as to rush towards crowded places when they know they will be caught.
And within the same day, so many rats suddenly ran out.
There is only one reason, something is forcing them to escape.
Thinking of these factors, Ding Xiaodie's first thought was the geographical environment and animal abnormalities, which were mostly related to earthquakes.
Is there going to be an earthquake?
"Rat, over there, over here... over here, it's running over here!"
“Wow, there are some here too.”
"Two more came out..."
The cheers downstairs were getting louder and louder, and more and more mice were coming out, not only the ones that ran out of their own house, but also those that ran out of other people's houses.
The villagers cheered and caught the animals, arguing: "Those two ran away from my house. Essentially, they belong to our family."
"Who said that? You just caught someone who ran away from my house."
"Haha, I can eat meat tonight!"
The scene downstairs was simply horrific.
Wang Dafeng in the other room couldn't hold it in any longer and went downstairs to join the mouse catching team. No matter whether there was any meat left at home, she knew that such a good thing could not be given to others for free.
"Xiaodie."
"Baoer!"
At the same time, Ding Gui and his wife came into the room with grim expressions and looked at their daughter standing in front of the window.
Ding Xiaodie looked back at them with a serious expression: "I thought of that too."
The three of them had traveled through time from the modern era, so they definitely knew this common sense. However, it might not be easy to convince everyone that there might be an earthquake.
At this time, Ding Xiaodie thought that the three of them had to take action.
"Dad, go tell Uncle Lai Fu about the possible earthquake. It's okay. They think you know everything anyway. Just go and tell him. I'm going to go to the town government while everyone is in chaos."
There was no water in the well anymore, and she wanted the cuckoo machine to work, so now might be the best time.
And regardless of whether there is an earthquake or not, everyone needs water.
Zhang Xiu said, "I'll go with you and help you cover for them."
Ding Xiaodie shook her head: "Mom, please prepare some mattresses at home. I don't think we can live in the house anymore. These houses are quite old. If..."
"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Xiu stepped forward and hugged her daughter's frail body. She was afraid of hearing those horrible words, so she suppressed her fear in the hug. After letting go, she instructed, "You two must come back quickly. I don't want our family of three to be separated from each other at a time like this."
"Don't worry!"
Ding Gui didn't dare to delay any longer. The more he talked, the more uncomfortable he felt. He gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
In this way, the family of three went their separate ways.
Ding Xiaodie hid the cuckoo machine in her arms, went downstairs, walked through the messy villagers, and went straight to the town government office.
Today, the two brothers Dabao and Erbao are guarding the well in the town government office.
Because there is no water in the well, the other villagers who are guarding the water feel that this is a useless chore. Who doesn’t want to sleep in at home in such hot weather? Why bother guarding the well!
In desperation, Village Chief Lai Fu had to send out his two sons.
When Ding Xiaodie arrived at the town government office, she happened to see Dabao and Erbao standing at the gate of the town government office looking towards the street.
"Xiaodie, what happened over there?" Dabao and Erbao saw her and hurried forward to ask.
"Brother Dabao and Brother Erbao, something happened!"
"Ah, what happened?"
The two guys suddenly became nervous. They could only hear people shouting from the other end of the street, but they had no idea what was happening.
Ding Xiaodie pretended to be anxious and said, "A lot of rats suddenly ran out on the street, and the villagers are busy catching them!"
"mouse?"
The two brothers' eyes lit up after hearing this. Of course they should catch it. It's meat anyway.
"Brother, you guard it. I'll go catch two more to nourish the old man." Erbao immediately rushed to the other end of the street. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Guarding the well is so boring!
Dabao, who was more honest than Erbao, was a little slower and could only agree dully: "Hmm."
"Brother Dabao, you should go too. I'll help you guard the gate." Ding Xiaodie hurriedly pushed him, "Hurry up, or else everyone will have caught them."
"What about you, Xiaodie?"
Dabao came to his senses at this time. Since everyone was catching mice, why did the little girl run over here?
Ding Xiaodie said, "To be honest with you, Dabao, I'm most afraid of mice. Even though they're meat, I'm afraid of them, so I ran over here!"
So that’s how it is!
Dabao said jokingly: "Silly girl, that's meat. Okay, then you help me watch it, I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, just take your time."
After Dabao left, Ding Xiaodie immediately turned around and ran to the small backyard of the town government office, and took out the cuckoo machine from her arms.
