Chapter 40: Mice News
When Xiao Qiang went home, he just told Xiao Yu that the town had been ready to send people over, and that he would probably sprinkle insecticides tonight! But now, someone has leaked the fact that insects grow on the apple tree. Many apple buyers do not want to buy apples from Shimo Village, saying that they are afraid of eating people out of trouble.
"These people are so hateful. They used to beg us to sell apples, but now they don't buy them when they see something happens! Isn't their little thoughts just to lower the price of apples? They have done things as inferior products as good things."
Xiao Qiang took a sip of tea and muttered with anger.
In the entire village, it is estimated that only the Xiao Yu family and Xiao Ping family did not suffer much loss! Although some people listened to Xiao Yu's advice, they slowed down after seeing that the others did not move, so the current losses are only a little less than others.
"Dad, since someone is in charge of this matter, don't worry, so as not to be unable to get what you can do."
Xiao Yu sat on the door pier, and looked at Xiao Qiang's indignation and couldn't help but comfort him.
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Qiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. He knew what Xiao Yu meant. When Xiao Yu said this, many people questioned him. Now that something happened, it was indeed impossible to blame him! But as a villager in Mo Village, if he pretended not to see it, it would be unreasonable.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang chatted for a while, then went back to the house to draw a few talismans, and then found Xiao Ping. The two rushed to the orchard on the mountain together. It was already dusk, but the mountain was still lively. Many villagers held flashlights and wanted to work overtime all night to pick all the apples.
"Xiao Yu, it's almost dark. Do you think of catching butterflies? There are no butterflies in our orchard?" Xiao Ping was very excited when he heard about catching butterflies, but after walking around the apple orchard with Xiao Yu, he found nothing, and then he couldn't help but mutter.
"What do you know? Butterflies will come out when it's dark. I say there is one," Xiao Yu said while looking around.
Xiao Yu wanted to try his luck to see if he could find the butterflies. After all, if the insects were really butterflies, the other party would definitely be around! But the orchard was too dense. Although the fruit tree was eaten by the insects, the butterfly hid under the leaves. I guess his eyes could not find the other party!
After walking in the orchard for more than two hours, Xiao Yu's legs were a little numb, but there was still no receipt. The sky became darker and darker. Looking around, it was darker. Even if there were butterflies, they could not be seen.
"Let's go home, come back tomorrow." Xiao Yu squatted down, rubbed his numb legs, and then continued, "Xiao Ping, why didn't you see Uncle Erpao today? Have you seen it?"
Xiao Ping picked an apple from the tree, wiped it randomly on his clothes, and quickly shook his head and said, "He was very mysterious that day, how could I see it! But in the afternoon, someone asked him to pull an apple and said that he left with a bag and didn't know what to do."
"With a bag, do you have to go out to work?" Xiao Yu said.
"Who knows, if he had worked, he would have gone out long ago. How could it be now?" Xiao Ping muttered while eating the apple.
As soon as she got home in the evening, Xiao Yu's mother walked out of the kitchen and pulled Xiao Yu to gesture, "A policeman called to me in the evening and said that she knew you and asked you for help if she had something to do, but she was blocked by your father and said that you were going to school and had no time."
"Mom knows that you have learned some work with your grandfather, but now that the ghost is caught, so don't run around, hurry up and review and prepare to go to school. You will be in the sixth grade soon. You have to get into a good junior high school so that you can go to college."
Xiao Yu's mother gestured, and Xiao Yu understood the meaning, and immediately pulled his mother to sit on the stool and said.
"Mom, I know, but there is something else now. If I don't deal with it, it will probably have an impact on the village! But don't worry, I won't delay my studies, don't worry, dad and you."
"Okay, you are a sensible child. Your mother is not educated and doesn't know what. If you need anything, tell your mother that she will definitely find a way for you."
After saying that, Xiao Yu's mother got up and went to the kitchen, brought out a bowl of eggs, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Yu to eat them quickly. Although eggs are not very good for urban people, they still value them more! This egg can not only hatch chicks, but also sell them for money. Although it is not much, it can always be laid out for the family.
After a while, the town's technical department came, and they mixed some potions overnight and started spraying them on a large scale in the orchard, hoping to keep the fruit trees from being damaged by insects as soon as possible! And the town technician said that these insects are mealworms and usually appear when they bloom. They don't understand why so many appear now.
At night, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly a mouse came out of the corner of the wall. However, as soon as the mouse came out, it was lifted up by the little ghost floating in the house. He suddenly floated in the air. The mouse was so scared that it kept squeaking, looking extremely frightened, and woke up the sleeping Xiao Yu in an instant.
Xiao Yu turned over and got up. When he saw the mouse floating in the air, he knew that it was caught by the little ghost. He immediately said, "Xiaoqiang, let him go."
The sound fell, and the mouse hit the ground with a bang, then hurried to the corner of the wall, but did not escape, but stood up on both front legs, bowed to Xiao Yu, and then kept squeaking.
Looking at the strange rat, Xiao Yu thought the rat was going to eat, so he pinched a little steamed bun from the table at the bedside and threw it over. However, the mouse sniffed it on the steamed bun, and then continued to squeak.
"What do you mean? You still think it's not delicious?" Xiao Yu was amused by the mouse's appearance, and immediately got up from the bed and walked towards the mouse. At this moment, the mouse suddenly ran towards Xiao Yu's door, ran a few steps and turned around and squeaked at Xiao Yu twice.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu understood that it must be the mountain god who asked the mouse to report the news. The mouse meant to let him go with him!
"Xiaoqiang, go" Xiao Yu hurriedly put on his clothes, gently opened the door, and ran out with the mouse.
The mouse was very fast. While running, he looked back at Xiao Yu and the others. One man and one beast, and he instantly entered the orchard. However, there are fewer people in the orchard now. Even if there are people, they are all villagers guarding the orchard here. So Xiao Yu walked around these villagers easily and followed the rat. After walking for two hours, he finally stopped in a corner of the orchard.
