Regarding the matter of building the seawall, after Gao Chang mentioned it in the village, everyone had no objection, but the seawall is not a matter of their own village after all, and people from other villages have to contact them. The silkworm weaving network has penetrated into every village, and it is not very difficult to take the lead in repairing the seawall.

Old Ninth Uncle suggested that, taking advantage of this opportunity to build the seawall, they should simply clear up the bamboo forest outside their village, and the chopped bamboo would be just used for the embankment.A long time ago, someone in his village was bitten by a mouse when cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest. He knew that there were many rats in the bamboo forest besides snakes. After that, every time he entered the bamboo forest, he had to beat the ground or bamboo with a wooden stick for a long time. Start the work by scaring away the mice first.

Although this can ensure temporary safety, it is not a long-term solution. If you scare them away when the ground is broken, you will definitely have to come back after a while.The bamboo in the bamboo forest grows too densely, and there are fluffy bamboo shells everywhere. Now even the cats don’t like to drill into it. If it continues to grow like this, it will become a disaster sooner or later.

In fact, there are still many similar hidden dangers near their village. For example, on the hillside opposite the village entrance, there are several large ant nests.In the past, the hillside was used as a cemetery because the slope was relatively steep and unsuitable for farming. Many people in the village had graves built there, but now it has become a paradise for ants.

Ants don't have many natural enemies, except for some beetles, which are pangolins and the like. Gao Chang has never seen a pangolin since the blue sun appeared.Now Gao Chang's family, only Yingzi sometimes goes there to get some snacks, Meowzai and Simba don't go there, firstly, they can't provoke the ant colony, secondly, there are not many prey there, Some are leftovers eaten by ants, and there are no good things at all.

It's not that the nearby villagers have never thought of setting fire to the mountain, but now that the mountain is lush with vegetation, if the fire starts, they are afraid that they will burn themselves to death in the end.A while ago, people in several nearby villages were discussing whether to dig a big ditch to isolate the hillside and then set fire to the mountain. This is indeed the most stupid way. If you can't think of other ways, That's what they had to do.

Now, their first priority is to repair the seawall, and the crab army is coming soon.There are also quite a few capable people in the nearby villages. After several discussions, everyone decided to send people to observe the ebb and flow of the tide and mark various positions on the mountain.

Where is the seawall built and how high is it built? The middle is also very knowledgeable. If the seawall is lowered, the seawater will rise and the entire seawall will be submerged. They have to start all over again. There is no seawater, and the seawall is out of touch with the sea. It has nothing to do with it. What should they do if they want to dry the salt?

The only good thing is that their bay does not directly face the sea. After the high tide of sea water enters the land, it goes all the way west to the mountain pass where they are tall, and turns southeast before reaching this bay.That is to say, the tide is very calm and will not come very violently, and the requirements for the firmness of the embankment are relatively low.

When the work officially started, Gao Chang and his village, in addition to sending out the share allocated to each village, also sent another team to clean up the bamboo forest behind their village.The big troops cut bamboo in front, and the small troops followed behind to dig bamboo roots, which was much easier than clearing the bamboo forest alone in their village.

For this bamboo forest, no one dared to take it lightly. Before the start of work, they had asked Old Weitou to take a few of his apprentices to set up many traps around the bamboo forest.At that time, once the snakes and rats in the bamboo forest are alarmed, they will inevitably run away and fall into traps easily. For the rats and snakes, the villagers have no sympathy for them now. They can catch as many as they can, and kill as many as they can. How many.

Because they were worried about being attacked by rats and poisonous snakes, the villagers made a lot of preparations. Gao Chang and his family were all mobilized. Follow the line.

"Gao Chang, watch carefully." Zheng Rixin wiped his hands on his trousers, grabbed the hoe and made a gesture to start digging, his face looked not very good.

"Don't worry, let's dig." Gao Chang knew that many people still remember the tragedy of their village being attacked by rats, so there is nothing wrong with being afraid of rats. Most people in his village are afraid of rats. As soon as the hoe goes down, a disaster will be dug out.

"!" Zheng Rixin swung his hoe down and hit a bamboo root with a bang.Then, there was a creaking sound from the ground.

"It seems that there are a lot of rats down there, so keep digging." Gao Chang raised his chin to signal Zheng Rixin to continue. Rhubarb also stood beside Gao Chang and waited. The other villagers didn't dare to take any action when they saw Zheng Rixin's hoe go down.

"Look at me digging your lair!" Zheng Rixin spat twice in his hands, and also got angry.

"Squeak, creak..." There was a commotion in the ground, and soon, a mouse came up from the ground not far away, but instead of running away, it climbed onto the nearby bamboo and creaked, and then came and went. More and more mice emerged from the ground and ran around in the bamboo forest. Obviously, they were not afraid of the war provoked by humans.

"This is a confrontation with us." Bai Bao picked up the gun and knocked down a mouse from the bamboo with two "bang bang" sounds.

"Squeak——" a huge mouse in the group of mice let out a long hiss, and the mice in the bamboo forest screamed even more happily.

"People treat us like fat sheep." It seems that the mice after being baptized by the blue sun are quite proud, especially in these days when they have few natural enemies.Before Gao Chang finished speaking, the rats in the bamboo forest rushed towards the villagers. The rats were running and jumping up and down, making one's scalp numb.

"Let's all get closer, don't be isolated by the rats." Bai Bao and his brothers fucked the dick, this time it wasn't a gun, but something like a tennis racket, but it wasn't a string It is not a rope, but a wire, and there are many sharp wire ends on the wire mesh.This thing was specially made by Uncle Cui for this rodent extermination operation. They had a hand, and this beat was thrown on the rat, and half of its life would have to be removed if it didn't die.

Miaozai and Yingzai didn't need to give orders. Seeing so many mice, one or two rushed up, and even Simba went to join in the fun.Taking advantage of the interruption of the mice's attack, everyone backed up again. Many traps were laid by Old Weitou around the bamboo forest. By the time the mice rushed in front of them, their strength had been greatly weakened.

"Quick! The rats have entered the net!" Someone shouted, and everyone immediately moved to the other side. A group of people surrounded the net of rats so densely that it was impossible for the rats outside to come in to help. Zheng Guohong pulled out his waistband. With a few strokes of the hatchet, the bamboo was chopped off, and the net and the mouse fell on the ground: "Kill them to death! Don't let them bite through the net!"

Immediately, the villagers waved the signs and crackled and beat them, causing the rats in the net to squeak and scurry. After a while, the ground was stained red.Gao Chang, Bai Bao and the others stood on the periphery of the crowd, slapping back the rats that kept pounced on them one by one.

In the traps in the bamboo grove, rats are constantly caught in the nets, and the other traps are ignored. Those who are hung in the nets must be killed as soon as possible, and the rats will bite the nets when it is too late.

"Fuck!" Bai Bao raised his foot to chop a mouse to death, his expression was not very good, as if he had been bitten.

"Aww!" Among the rats, Simba's eyes were already red-eyed, his gray fur was stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was the rat's or his own.

Meowzai is invincible, perhaps because mice have a fear of cats in their nature. When facing Meowzai, these mice have almost no resistance and often lose without a fight.

Yingzi was flying in the sky for a while, and flitting across the ground for a while. Every time he flitted, he always grabbed a mouse and threw it into the ditch beside him with a "plop".

"Look! The eagle threw the mouse into the ditch!" On the other side of the ditch, the people who came out to light the fire as the sky was getting dark quickly discovered this phenomenon.They are the main force in this rodent eradication operation, and some people were arranged in the village as backup, including those in charge of lighting. When it gets dark, the fire will be lit up, and then they will continue to pour into the fire. For licking firewood, not only should there be fires beside the bamboo forest, but also on the opposite side of the ditch, some fires should be lit. The more fires there are, the brighter the outside will be.

"Where is there?" When the people in the village heard about it, they came out one after another, came to the narrow road between the pig trench and the ditch, and looked into the ditch. A few swarthy mice were found paddling in the water.

"Quick! Bring a long pole and stab it to death!" Several half-grown men in the village were excited. Today's rat eradication operation, the elders in the village agreed and resolutely refused to let them participate. Including many fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, who are not yet old enough to leave the village to work. How can they have anything to do tonight? If they are full, most of them will be sent to repair the seawall. There are too many people there, so nothing can happen. thing.

"Just rely on you guys, don't let the mice climb up the pole, go back to the village and stay for me, don't raise silkworms well, why don't you join in the fun here, be careful to fall into the ditch and feed the wild boar, your father you Where are you going to cry when the time comes?" Old Ninth Uncle happened to be there too, and with a few words, he snuffed out the signs of the group of teenagers who were about to move.

"Where can it be, Grandpa Ninth, there's plenty of space here." Even if they can't participate in such a passionate moment like tonight, they should at least take a look, the other side is fighting fiercely.

"Go, call your Uncle Guofeng out, he is better at playing long poles, and your Uncle Ashan, he is also good, let him come over when you come back later, everyone else get out, don't stick here to take up space." It is not easy for every household to raise a doll. If it really falls into the ditch, the wild boar's feet are no joke.

Gao Chang's battle with the rats has come to an end. After all, it's just a bamboo forest. It's not comparable to the scale of the rat migration. However, these rats are also very vicious. It's hard to imagine that their small There is such a strong explosive power in the body, three jumps and two jumps, can jump to the face, Zheng Rixin was bitten by a mouse's ear, and he dragged the mouse's tail and pulled it off. The mouse was beaten After his death, a gap was left in his right ear.

"What's going on? All the injured ones went into the yard, and let Old Ninth Uncle help them disinfect first." After the mice's attacks receded, Zheng Guohong began to check the situation of the villagers. Although these villagers did not play forward, they were relatively weak in combat effectiveness. , the number of injured is still relatively high.

"It's okay, you can't die if you get bitten twice by a mouse." Zheng Rixin and others replied nonchalantly. Although this guy's ear was injured, although it wasn't a serious injury, the blood flowed down his cheek, which looked quite scary.

"It's better to disinfect first. We haven't been bitten by rats. When the time comes and a wound is infected, it's not a big loss." Bai Bao turned to his brothers: "Is there anyone injured? Come back with me to disinfect the wound. Infection is such a bad way to die, we can't afford to lose this person."

A few injured people were sent to the village to be disinfected and bandaged, and a few more people came out of the village to go to the traps around the bamboo forest with Gao Chang to clean up the rats. As a result, there were many rats in almost every trap. It seems that the rats who chose to escape tonight There are quite a few, but fortunately they escaped, otherwise these people would be really difficult to deal with.

Between the ditch and the ditch, Zheng Guofeng was holding a bamboo pole to prick the rats in the water. This man had good eyesight and good hands. Several rats have been worn on the stick.The collected dead mice were all placed in a nearby basket, which was already half full. It seemed that Yingzi had been busy that night, and of course it was not ruled out that some of the mice fell by themselves.

After catching the rats in one place, he limped forward dragging the basket. In front of him, there was an old Jiu Shu helping him hold a torch for light.Almost all the strong laborers in the village were mobilized tonight. Zheng Guofeng was bitten by a poisonous snake on the leg when his daughter went out to learn how to catch snakes a few days ago. Fortunately, it was a small snake and he was dealt with in time. He was fine and his leg was saved. , but there is no way to reduce the swelling for a while, so he is still staying in the village tonight.

The human-mouse war is over for the time being, but the villagers still have a lot of work to do. The battlefield needs to be cleaned up. All the dead mice are collected and dumped into the pig trench to feed the wild boars. Filled it up, hope it will hold up for a while.

"Meow!" Miaozai came out from nowhere, put a big mouse in his mouth in front of Gao Chang, raised his neck and let out a cry.

"Good job, I'll catch a big fish for you tomorrow." Gao Chang meant the truth this time, Miaozi really did a lot of hard work tonight, so he should be rewarded.

"Chirp..." Yingzi hovered in the sky, and then landed in a more graceful posture, but Suobo went to class, and no one stretched out his arms to pick him up, so he had to stand on the ground, with his neck raised, Gulu Gulu asked Gao Chang for credit.

"So you're pretty smart, right?" Gao Chang squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted Yingzai's head, causing him to shrink his neck: "Why didn't you catch the rabbit last time? Did you play dumb with me?" Woolen cloth?"
