"Are not you just saw it?"
"Why are you asking me what I'm doing?"
Jia Dongxu was a little confused.
What does it matter to Jia Zhangshi whether Wan Ping'an brings back the owl or not?
"You brat, just answer my questions. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"I'm asking you, did he not bring the owl back?"
Madam Jia's face darkened.
"Yes, I didn't bring the owl back."
Jia Dongxu was even more puzzled.
Could it be that Jia Zhangshi was traumatized by the owl attack?
"Mom, are you up to something again?"
Sudden.
Jia Dongxu thought of a possibility and stared at Jia Zhangshi.
"What can I do?"
"I'm just afraid of owls!"
Madam Jia's expression changed slightly. When did her son become so clever?
The sun set quickly.
The courtyard house is quiet!
It was pitch black!
In 1950, even in Beijing, electricity coverage was not yet complete.
In the courtyard, not a single household had an electric light.
They all used kerosene lamps.
The candles were bright and didn't have any strange smell, but they were quite expensive. Apart from Wan Ping'an, no one in the courtyard had candles.
As soon as it gets dark, most people go straight to sleep.
Lighting lamps wastes oil, which costs money!
It's quiet at night.
Jia Zhangshi took action once again.
She was carrying a bag containing the mice she had caught over the past few days.
She successfully pried open the door to the Wan family's house.
Push it open a small crack.
She didn't go in; she left the bag over the crack in the door. The rats rushed out of the bag and, through the crack, all of them ran into Wan's house.
“Wan Ping’an, I haven’t fed these rats since I caught them. They’re so hungry their eyes are red, and they’ll gnaw on anything they can find.”
"Your furniture, your cured meat, your clothes, your money—I'll devour them all!"
Jia Zhangshi was in a good mood.
He finally succeeded in getting revenge on Wan Ping'an.
She worked so hard catching mice these past few days, her back and legs ached, and she was even bitten by mice twice, but it was all worth it!
in the door.
Wan Ping'an sneered.
He was startled awake just as Jia Zhangshi reached the door.
Not knowing who was outside the door, they hid in the shadows, waiting for the person to break in so they could deliver a fatal blow.
Unexpectedly, instead of people, mice got in.
Simultaneously.
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's mutterings.
Wan Ping'an acted swiftly, picking up the bucket behind the door, grabbing a mouse and throwing it in, then grabbing another and throwing it in as well.
He is a master of Bajiquan.
With lightning speed, the rats that Jia Zhangshi put in were caught safely by Wan Ping before they even had a chance to gnaw on anything. There were forty-eight rats in total.
at this time.
Jia Zhangshi had already gone home.
"Jia Zhangshi, you're really wicked."
"You gave me a big gift, so I'll give you a surprise in return."
Wan Ping'an took out four spirit beast talismans, found four of the strongest rats, and used them on each of them, directly taming the four rats.
Followed by.
After a battle, the four mice became the four little mouse kings and divided the mice sent by Jia Zhangshi into four groups.
"Let's get started."
"Rat Number One, you take your squad to Jia Zhang's house, search for anything of value first, and then chew up Jia's bed."
"Rat Number Two, you lead the team to the deaf old lady's house. Search first, then sabotage."
"Rat Number Three, you lead the team to Liu Haizhong's house."
"Rat Number Four, the Yi Zhonghai family is now in your hands."
Wan Ping'an began assigning tasks.
Four rat kings and forty-eight rats, divided into four teams, successfully reached the houses of their four targets under the cover of darkness.
The deaf old lady's house was the closest, so Rat Number Two started working first.
Mice are small, yet they can search every corner.
soon.
Another one has been discovered.
The deaf old lady had an old-fashioned wardrobe with a hidden compartment at the bottom containing some exquisite jewelry and a large wad of cash.
Of course, I'll take them all!
The money and jewelry were quickly delivered to Wan Ping'an.
"More than three hundred yuan?"
"The deaf old lady is really a hidden talent; she managed to save so much money."
"These pieces of jewelry are worth at least several hundred yuan."
"With such a huge loss, won't the deaf old lady be so angry that she'll die?"
Wan Ping'an didn't stand on ceremony at all and directly added it to his personal space.
He has a grudge against the deaf old lady; he's not going to repay her!
The search is complete.
The next step is to cause sabotage.
The twelve mice went all out. After filling their bellies, they used their strength to gnaw on the furniture, starting with the deaf old lady's bed legs.
The deaf old lady was sleeping restlessly, as she kept hearing strange noises.
boom!
In sleep.
The deaf old lady felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
She is awake!
"Why am I on the ground?"
The deaf old woman sensed something was wrong. The room was dimly lit, and she could only vaguely see that she was lying on the floor, hugging a blanket.
"Is it because I'm a restless sleeper?"
The deaf old lady guessed.
She groped her way back to bed, but as soon as she touched the bed, she realized something was wrong—the bed was tilted.
Squeak!
She heard the squeaking of mice.
"Could it be that mice chewed up my bed?"
The deaf old lady became anxious.
