Chapter 51: Famous in Hutougou

"Dongzhu, Dongzhu, why don't you stay at home and rest? Why do you come here to take care of your confinement? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

A surprised voice woke Wang Ping'an from his deep sleep. He looked up subconsciously and saw that he had been lying in his mother's backpack without knowing when. On his way home, he happened to meet a couple on the road.

"Sister Zhou, I'm just sitting at home bored and feeling rusty!"

Liu Dongzhu chuckled and said proudly, "I wanted to do some work in the fields to loosen up my muscles, but unfortunately my parents wouldn't let me, so I can only watch from the side!"

"You, you just can't sit still!"

Sister Zhou cursed with a smile, and then seemed to have thought of something, with envy on her face, she said: "But your parents are so good, they didn't hesitate to sever the father-son relationship with your husband for you, and they also don't let you work. Unlike me, the two old people at home only know how to force me to work every day, and they don't even let me rest during confinement..."

"Okay, why are you talking about the past?"

Sister Zhou’s man said angrily.

"You useless man, I was bullied by your parents and you didn't help me. Now I'm talking to you and you control me. Why did I marry a useless man like you!"

Sister Zhou snorted in dissatisfaction. Seeing that her man's face was full of embarrassment, she didn't want to dwell on this topic and changed the topic:
"Dongzhu, do you know that there is a powerful character in Hutougou, and there are a lot of dead rats in the granary every day?"

"What's this?"

Liu Dongzhu didn't take it too seriously and said, "Who doesn't have a cat or two these days? Isn't it normal to have dead rats in the granary?"

"It's not just one or two dead rats, but a whole nest of dead rats. There must be at least a dozen or twenty of them. I'm afraid all of them have been wiped out!"

Sister Zhou snorted, her face full of excitement. After all, it was a peaceful and prosperous time with good weather and good harvests, so there was no shortage of food at home. Every household had a cat to guard the granary, but the mice that stole the food were very smart.

A cat can only kill one or two mice at most, and it is almost impossible to kill them all.

"impossible?"

Liu Dongzhu was shocked. Her family had raised cats before and knew some situations. Even with cats guarding the granary, at most the mice in the granary would be improved. It would be difficult to completely eradicate them. She was shocked and said:
"Are mice so easy to kill?"

Not to mention relying on cats, even if you use medicine, you can't completely eradicate the rats in the granary.

'I didn't expect to be noticed so soon!'

Compared to his mother's doubts, Wang Ping'an quickly believed Sister Zhou - no, to him, it was Aunt Zhou who believed that he was the one who found the dead body of the rat in the granary...

To be precise, it was done by his pet, the black cat Catcher.

just.

I didn’t expect that people in Hutougou would notice it so quickly!
But it's not too surprising. The food in the granary is the most important thing for every household, more important than life. It is common to check the granary every two or three days.

It is not difficult to find the dead bodies of rats in the granary.

Who made him only care about gaining merit, driving the black cat to hunt mice? As for how to deal with the mice's corpses, he doesn't care. It is up to the black cat to deal with it himself. In most cases, they become its food.

It is inevitable that there are some parts that the black cat does not eat, so it is normal for the remaining remains to be discovered.

"Dongzhu, let alone you, even I didn't believe it when I heard about this at the beginning. After all, if mice and other beasts were so easy to deal with, our family wouldn't have to think about how to deal with them every year. But when I found the dead bodies of mice in our granary, it was hard not to believe it!" Sister Zhou sighed with a happy look on her face. Although her family also has cats, the grain in the granary is always stolen by mice every year.

Even if the amount stolen in a day is not much, it will be a considerable amount when accumulated over time.

You’re welcome…

It’s enough for one person to eat for three to five months!
She hated these rats so much that her teeth itched. Now in the granary, she saw a pile of dead rats, and saw the whole family lying together neatly.

How could she not be happy?
"This is real?"

Although Liu Dongzhu still found it hard to believe, she saw that Sister Zhou didn't seem to be joking, and even Sister Zhou's man nodded, indicating that he could prove this matter, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"I wonder if the rats in our granary have also been eradicated!"

before.

When she still had a cat at home, there were still rats in the granary, but at least they were not too rampant. However, since her cat died of old age, the rats in the granary became unscrupulous. It was not until she bought some rat poison that the unscrupulous rats in the granary were no longer so rampant.

But you can still see signs that the food in her granary was stolen by rats!
"Dongzhu, don't worry about this. Your granary may be the first place where the rats in our village's granary will be eradicated!"

Sister Zhou chuckled, as if she had thought of something, her face full of envy, and said, "Do you know who was the one who eradicated the rats in our village's granary?"

"How would I know that? I was going to ask you, Sister Zhou!"

Liu Dongzhu spoke subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he said thoughtfully:

"Sister Zhou, you don't mean to say that it wasn't our civet cat that eradicated the rats in our village's granary, right?"

"Don't tell me, it's your family's granary!"

Sister Zhou sighed and said admiringly, "You don't know, ever since someone discovered a pile of dead rats in their granary, they noticed that your civet cat often appeared in other people's granaries. Thinking of the big things your civet cat did, the rats in the granary must have been caused by your civet cat!"

"Your civet cat is indeed worthy of being called the Godly Cat Warrior, it's really amazing!"

"Ding! Feeling Sister Zhou's sincere gratitude, your pet black cat 'Captain' has a +1 physical strength!"

A mechanical and cold voice sounded in his mind. Wang Ping'an's little face was full of surprise. But he changed his mind and understood the importance of food to the people in this era. It was normal for the people to express their sincere gratitude to the civet cats for hunting mice and protecting food.

Liu Dongzhu was surprised and asked, "The Magic Cat Warrior?"

"That was originally what Xiaocao called your civet cat. Later, it spread among the children. Now everyone knows what your civet cat did in the granary!"

Sister Zhou said with emotion: "Nowadays everyone calls your civet cat the Godly Cat Warrior!"

"Magic Cat Warrior!"

Liu Dongzhu chuckled, her face full of pride, not only towards her civet cat, but also towards her Ping An. She said happily: "With the magic cat hero here, our Ping An will be safer in the future!"

"Ding! You feel the deep love of your mother Liu Dongzhu. Your talent: maternal love takes effect. Congratulations on receiving the reward: Physical Fitness +1!"
