Chapter 537

~5 min read 930 words

She fumbled for matches and lit the kerosene lamp.

"Damn mice, they bit off my bed leg, and they're still gnawing on another bed leg."

The Deaf Old Lady picked up a broom to swat at the mice.

The mice were much more agile than her.

Before the Deaf Old Lady could swat them, the mice ran away to gnaw on the wardrobe.

She chased them to the wardrobe, and the mice went back to gnaw on the bed leg.

After several rounds.

The Deaf Old Lady was panting from the exertion.

"No, these mice are too infuriating."

"I have to find someone to help me catch the mice, and I must find someone now; if I wait until dawn, my furniture and clothes will definitely all be gnawed up."

The Deaf Old Lady went out.

"Come here, come here, someone come quickly!"

The Deaf Old Lady shouted.

The voice was sharp, and in the quiet night, everyone in the Sihe Academy could hear it.

Time went back to fifteen minutes ago.

Mouse No. 4 led the team to Yi Zhonghai's house.

After a search, under Yi Zhonghai's bed, there was a loose floor tile; the space under the floor tile had been dug out, and a wooden box was placed there.

The box was bitten to pieces by the mice.

Inside was a large yellow fish, which was a large gold bar, and over seventy yuan, which was also delivered to Wan Ping'an's hands.

"Only over seventy yuan?"

"Did I go too hard? Back then, Yi Zhonghai might have been sentenced, unless he got my letter of understanding; I asked him for three thousand yuan!"

"His family fortune was emptied by me, no wonder there's only over seventy yuan, not even as much as the Deaf Old Lady saved."

Wan Ping'an was very satisfied.

He ordered Mouse No. 4 to start causing destruction.

Creak, creak!

The mice gnawed on the bed leg!

The sound wasn't loud, but in the quiet night, it was very clear.

"Master, wake up, why do I hear a strange sound?"

The First Aunt was awakened.

"What strange sound?"

Yi Zhonghai was sleeping groggily, pushed a few times by the First Aunt, and was between half-asleep and half-awake.

"I don't know, it sounds like something is being gnawed."

The First Aunt listened carefully.

The strange sound was gone!

Yi Zhonghai listened carefully, but didn't hear anything either.

"Maybe it's the wind, or maybe you have tinnitus; don't think so much, sleep, sleep!"

Yi Zhonghai lay down groggily again.

Soon, snoring started!

"Did I really hear wrong?"

The First Aunt also fell asleep groggily.

Continue destruction!

Through the mental connection feedback of Mouse No. 4, Wan Ping'an commanded it.

The bed in Yi Zhonghai's house had one leg bitten off, the bed tilted, Yi Zhonghai rolled off first, and the First Aunt also rolled off, crashing onto him...

"What happened?"

Yi Zhonghai was crashed into and woke up completely.

In the dimness, he first lay on the ground; underneath him, it was hard and cold!

Yi Zhonghai lit the kerosene lamp.

What happened next was the same as at the Deaf Old Lady's house: swatting at mice, the mice running around, unable to hit them; Yi Zhonghai's house was in chaos.

Mouse No. 3 went to Liu Haizhong's house.

The harvest wasn't small either.

It brought Wan Ping'an a gold bracelet, seven hundred yuan, and a small piece of jade.

"Liu Haizhong's house actually had a gold bracelet?"

"Why have we never heard them mention it?"

"Unlike Jia Zhangshi, who has a gold ring and wishes everyone in the courtyard knew; every major holiday, she takes it out and wears it."

What Wan Ping'an was looking forward to most was the harvest from the Jia family.

Mouse No. 1 went to the Jia family.

Soon.

Mouse No. 1 returned.

It didn't find the gold ring; it must have been hidden by Jia Zhangshi, hidden in a place even mice couldn't find; it found a bag containing money.

"So much money?"

Wan Ping'an was taken aback.

Soon, the count was finished; Jia Zhangshi had actually saved one thousand two hundred thirty-seven yuan and five mao.

This was definitely a huge sum of money!

"If Jia Zhangshi finds out the money is lost, will she be angered to death?"

"Even if she isn't angered to death, she'll be angered to the point of vomiting blood, right?"

Wan Ping'an accepted it with a smile.

"Yi Zhonghai's house is the poorest, Jia Zhangshi's house is the richest, but from now on, none of the four houses will have a single cent."

Wan Ping'an ordered the four mouse kings.

Major destruction!

Boom!

The Jia family's bed was bitten until it collapsed.

Jia Zhangshi rolled onto the ground.

She didn't wake up!

The snoring continued!

Outer room.

Jia Dongxu was woken up by the fall.

"Why did I fall to the ground?"

"So many mice?"

"Oh no!"

"The mice my mom caught ran out."

Jia Dongxu reacted.

He found the jar that held the mice; it was empty!

"Sigh, I shouldn't have let my mom keep mice at home; now it's good, reaping what she sowed, my bed leg was bitten off by mice!"

Jia Dongxu hadn't realized the severity of the mouse plague yet.

"Wait, my bed was bitten and broken, what about my mom's bed?"

Jia Dongxu reacted.

Knock on the door.

Knock on the door forcefully.

After knocking for a long time, he finally heard Jia Zhangshi's voice.

"In the middle of the night, what are you knocking for?"
