Chapter 372: When the meow doesn't show its power, they think the meow is a sick meow

"Have these rats become spirits? Why did they all emerge at once in just one night? Biting so many people?"

"Isn't that so? Our outpatient department was full of wounded people this morning, including military dependents from the family compound on the island, and ordinary people on the island were also attacked by rat spirits last night..."

"Sigh, don't even mention it, rats appeared in the dormitory last night too, but the gatekeeper uncle set up a mousetrap and caught that rat..."

"What should we do this time? Rats also carry germs. If you are bitten, you must deal with it in time, otherwise, if you are infected with the plague, diseases can also be fatal."

"I don't dare to sleep at night now. If I get bitten, what should I do?"

All departments in the hospital were busy all day, and from time to time, one could hear resting medical staff discussing the rats from last night.

Shen Man was originally a bit indifferent, but as there were more and more patients and more and more people discussing it, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Her own courtyard was fine; with Tangyuan there, ordinary rat spirits didn't dare to come to her house, but other old men and her senior brothers lived in the cadre rest home, so it was inevitable that they would be disturbed by blind rat spirits.

And Section Commander Duan, she didn't know if the place he lived in had been invaded by rats.

The top priority was to get rid of the rats as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be a loss if it triggered diseases like the plague.

Because rats had bitten hundreds of people and the situation was still spreading, the military specifically gave the soldiers a half-day off to participate in the rat-hunting operation and help ordinary people clear out the rats.

And so, the carpet-style search and hunting operation against rats officially began.

As long as a rat hole was found, professional hunting awaited the rats!

After Shen Man got off work and returned home, she was surprised to find that the old men had already arrived at her house, seemingly measuring which corner of the courtyard to set up tents and sleep on the floor.

"Grandfather, Grandfather Lin, and Grandfather Xu, what's wrong with them?"

"Manman is back. Sigh, what else could be wrong with them? Last night, those two were bitten by rats!

They are old, the two of them were dizzy and had a low fever, but they have already had antibiotics, and the wounds have been bandaged.

It's just that the rats haven't been cleared out at the cadre rest home, so I discussed it with your master, and we brought them all to our house. They don't take up space, they have tents..."

Although Lu Lao Ye Zi was disgusted in his mouth, he was still very concerned about his old companions in his heart.

A sharp tongue but a soft heart, and an old urchin, that was him.

"Grandfather, don't worry, Grandfather Lin and the others can stay at home as long as they want, Ah Ye and I will take good care of them."

Shen Man was grateful to all the grandfathers; the milk powder that her little ones had drunk over the years was all thanks to the efforts of these grandfathers.

And they also helped take care of the children, saving her a lot of trouble.

In terms of reason and emotion, she would take in these kind and amiable old men.

"Grandfather, I heard on the way back that the troops gave the soldiers a half-day off to eliminate the rat infestation, so Ah Ye and brother might not be able to come back in time tonight, so I'll go cook dinner for everyone now."

"Sigh, no need to make so many complicated dishes, it's too hot, just cook noodles, we can all eat noodles."

Lu Lao Ye Zi still felt sorry for his granddaughter and didn't want her to be so tired, so he let her make the simplest noodles. A pot of noodles, and the dozen or so of them could share it and fill their stomachs.

"Okay, then I'll go make noodles now."

Shen Man calculated the number of people and counted. Besides her sister-in-law, who hadn't returned yet and was still on duty, there were eleven or twelve adults in total.

A pot of noodles wouldn't be enough for so many people, so she had to make something else that could fill their stomachs.

Ah, she had eggs, there was a basket of eggs in the kitchen, and eggs wouldn't last long in this weather, so she would just boil some tea eggs.

Tea eggs needed to be boiled for a long time to be flavorful, so she could only boil them first. She estimated it would be ready to eat around eight in the evening, which would be just right, and it could also be a midnight snack.

She would pick six cucumbers from the courtyard, smash them, and mix them with vinegar, millet spicy, garlic, a little salt, a little sugar, and light soy sauce. Once the noodles were ready, it would be another side dish.

She hadn't cooked for a long time, and her appetite had been spoiled by Ah Ye.

As for stir-frying, because she hadn't prepared ingredients in advance, time was not very abundant.

She would just blanch vegetables, oh no, add some small green vegetables to the noodles, and add some sun-dried small shrimp to each bowl to enhance the freshness.

The little ones' dinner would be a bowl of steamed egg custard each. After the custard was cooked, she would add half a spoonful of light soy sauce on top.

Doing it all by herself, Shen Man was still a bit flustered.

Fortunately, Grandfather and Master came in from time to time to help, so she didn't make any mistakes in her busyness.

Taking advantage of the time after finishing the kitchen work, she quickly kneaded the dough to make some pastry embryos.

She hadn't baked for a few days. Tangyuan was the great hero of the family and had to eat well and drink well, with things to replenish energy and physical strength at any time.

With limited ingredients, she tried her best to make some edible pastries, whether for Tangyuan to eat or for the grandfathers to eat, they would melt in the mouth and not be hard on the teeth.

When everyone collects firewood, the flames rise high; helping and assisting depends on everyone.

Shen Man was not fighting alone. The old men in the courtyard, except for the two who couldn't move, were all trying their best to contribute their meager efforts.

The little ones were also playing with toys happily. Why were they so happy? Because there were so many grandfathers here today to play with them.

A grandfather told them a story, a story about a big tiger eating bad guys.

What was a big tiger? They didn't know.

But they were all amused by that grandfather's "Aowu, Aowu" demeanor.

Tangyuan turned over lazily on the roof, revealing its soft belly.

This group of old men under the eaves was purely painting a snake and adding feet.

It was the great Meow King, and its true body was a big tiger.

Why teach the little ones about tigers?

It would be better to teach them about the great Meow King!

But the master was still the best in the world!

It saw the master making cake embryos, maybe she was going to bake a batch of cakes for it to eat.

It liked to eat both egg cakes and cakes, both were delicious!

However, it had recently fallen in love with cakes because cakes were milky and had a milky fragrance...

Speaking of which, the humans protected by the Meow King, that group of dead rats growing in the gutter, actually dared to bully the people it protected!

Hmph, just you wait, after this Meow King is full and satisfied, it will go and single-handedly fight that group of dead rats!

When the meow doesn't show its power, they think the meow is a sick meow?

"Aowu!"

Dead rat, wash your neck clean and wait for this Meow King to send you to the West Heaven!

Hehehe... ===== CHAPTER 373 =====
