Chapter 371: With Tangyuan sitting in command, let alone big rats, even the ancestors of rats wouldn't dare to come

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

"Oh my, sister-in-law, I saw a big rat just slip away from your door!"

"Sigh, I, I haven't slept all night, for fear that the big rat would bite my little grandson."

"What should we do? The mosquito and insect problem hasn't passed, and now the big rats have come!"

"Isn't that so? I don't know if the propaganda department has any way to deal with these rats.

Like rat poison, I really don't dare to buy it, for fear that my grandson won't know and will grab it and eat it, what should I do then!"

"Isn't that so? My man said the same thing, children don't understand.

You tell him not to eat it, but he insists on eating it, then it's really over!"

"Oh my, who still has soap?

Lend me a piece, my toe was bitten by a rat, it hurts me to death!"

From morning until noon, the family compound was filled with successive exclamations, the helpless sighs of adults, sighs, exasperation, and the wailing and crying of children, making it noisy and chaotic.

In the morning, Amei even stepped on a big black rat!

However, she wasn't afraid of rats. As a girl born in the countryside, during the famine, she would even catch field mice and roast them to eat.

But obviously, the big rats here were surprisingly large; even if she caught one, she wouldn't dare to eat it.

Later, after a simple wash, she went to her aunt's house to pick up her cousin Si Si, and then carried her little cousin to Shen Yi's house to babysit, thus missing the human-rat war in the family compound.

With Tangyuan sitting in command at Shen Man's house, let alone big rats, even the ancestors of rats wouldn't dare to come.

Lu Lao Ye Zi and Pei Lao Ye Zi were very relieved to leave the little ones to Amei.

So they went out for a trip in the morning, planning to go to the cadre rest home to see their old companions.

As a result, passing by the dormitory building of the family compound, they were startled by the successive screams.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

"Oh my, it's Doctor Shen's grandfather, you old man, be careful, watch out.

Last night, big rats kept running into our family compound, biting many people. Children and the elderly had their toes, fingers, and even buttocks bitten!"

"Ah, are the big rats that evil? What's the situation now? Have they been caught?"

"Not yet, there are many rats, not just one or two. Our family compound has at least a hundred households, probably fifty or sixty rats.

Now, only ten or twenty have been caught and killed, it's still early."

"Oh my, there are so many?"

Lu Lao Ye Zi and Pei Lao Ye Zi looked at each other, both very shocked.

Especially Lu Lao Ye Zi, who saw that big rat slip away from his own door last night and didn't enter his house.

It was probably because Tangyuan was there, so the rats didn't dare to enter, but other families without cats were unlucky.

The two decided to go find their old companions first to see how they were doing and if they were injured.

Inside the cadre rest home—

Last night, this place was also attacked by big rats. Two unfortunate old men who were bitten were now receiving antibiotics and treating their wounds.

"Fortunately, it didn't damage the muscles and bones. After the antibiotics, we will observe. If there are no symptoms like convulsions or foaming at the mouth within 24 hours, then there shouldn't be any big problems, just need to recuperate well..."

Professional nursing staff treated the wounds for the two elderly men in a very timely manner and arranged for corresponding personnel to be fully armed to disinfect every room.

For a time, the corridor was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Lu Lao Ye Zi and Pei Lao Ye Zi both covered their noses and mouths, walking inside with disgust.

The two didn't chat tacitly; looking at this posture, something definitely happened last night.

Sure enough, as they walked inside, they saw several old companions sitting on the bench outside the room, both eyes with dark circles, looking like they hadn't slept well.

"What's going on? Did something happen here last night?"

"Sigh, last night a big rat appeared and bit Old Lin and Old Xu. The two of them just finished their antibiotics and are observing."

"Really lived long enough to see everything. I've lived here for almost two years, and this is the first time I've seen such big rats..."

"Strange, it was mosquito and fly viruses not long ago, why have big rats appeared recently? I always feel like something big is going to happen."

"Old Qian, stop being so superstitious, what big thing could happen?"

"Old Qian, maybe it's just that the rats here have no worries and eat too much, and then they got fat and mutated.

In short, as long as people are rescued in time, there's no big deal, don't scare yourself."

Everyone had different opinions, comforting the emotions of the frightened old companions.

Lu Lao Ye Zi went to the ward to see his old companions looking pale. Usually bickering didn't mean he would kick them when they were down at critical moments.

Thinking about it, he said:

"No, Old Lin and Old Xu, come to our house to recuperate first. We have Tangyuan, no rats dare to come."

Having two more mouths to feed was nothing; the grandchildren hadn't used fewer milk powder coupons.

"Eh, then can you take us in too? We can sleep on the floor in your courtyard."

"Right, I'll bring the tent over. Once this tent of mine is opened, it can probably sleep five people. If we squeeze a bit, we can probably fit, right?"

"Why are you guys joining in the fun? They are injured, you guys aren't."

"Sigh, we're scared.

That big rat had red eyes and very sharp teeth. Let me tell you, sigh, if you don't let us sleep on the floor at your house, maybe that big rat will return tonight, and we'll be gnawed until not even bones are left!

By then, we won't be able to happily play and fish together anymore."

"That's right, that's right, Old Lu, and Old Pei, you two just show some kindness and take us old bones in. We really can't continue living here."

As the saying goes, when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads.

Asking them to move off the Sea Island and return to the Capital to live, they weren't willing, but they wanted to stay, and they didn't want to be bitten by big rats, so they could only bow their heads temporarily and ask Old Lu and the others for help.

"Forget it, forget it, I really owe you guys. Fine, fine, hurry up and pack your things, help Old Lin and Old Xu pack too, just bring one set of clothes to change, no need to bring other things, just come home with us."

Lu Lao Ye Zi pretended to be disgusted, but actually, he thought this was the safest way.

Before a solution for the rats appeared, he would take his old companions back to his grandson and granddaughter's house first.

Pei Lao Ye Zi had no opinion; his fellow apprentices were looking at him eagerly.

It's just that for the tents, he would see if he could get one or two more. Five or six people squeezing into one tent was really not a good look, even turning over was difficult... ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
