Chapter 42 Rat is afraid of people
Wang Zhu didn't know how long he waited. When the yard was quiet, he couldn't hear his eldest mother and sister Cong talking for a long time. He quietly sat up from the straw mat and lifted the quilt, and there was a rat with its mouth tied inside.
.The rat's tail is wrapped with a thin hemp rope. The other end of the rope is coiled several times. After unfolding, it is about ten feet long and emits a smell of sesame oil.
He shivered even more violently and crept to the door. The latch was not inserted at all. He almost held his breath and slowly opened the door a crack. Fortunately, no sound was made, and then took out the door he stole from Wang Ge.
To make a fire break, light the end of the hemp rope.
When the flames began to spread, so did his fear, but he still pulled the rope off the rat's mouth.
let go!
The mouse "squeaked" and escaped with the live wire.
Wang Zhu stared closely at the fire line, and the wind blew up the hemp rope, flying so high. Wang Ge's words kept echoing in his ears: The yard is full of bamboo cages, and it will be troublesome if sparks escape...
The whole courtyard is filled with bamboo cages, and sparks are flying out...
Mars comes out...
suddenly!
Unexpectedly, when the bamboo circle ignited, it made such a loud noise. The wind helped the fire, and the whole courtyard was quickly covered in flames.
"Help!"
"Help!"
The screams made Wang Zhu even more frightened. He wanted to cry. What should he do? He just wanted to burn the bamboo cage. Why should we work together and only get five cents for the third room? My father is the most honest person in the family.
, I usually don’t dare to say much, so why do I bully my father?
But will this fire burn anyone? My eldest mother is also in the courtyard!
How to do how to do?
"Help, brother, get up quickly, help me." Wang Peng dodged Yao's slap, ran out of the back room, and threw himself directly on Wang Zhu's stomach. The sound of the hit made Wang Zhu wake up from his dream.
.
The door of the house opened just in time, and Wang Sanlang carried a urine bucket and carried Wang Peng's wet mattress out. After he opened the door, what Wang Zhu saw was a whole courtyard of bamboo cages, swaying freely in the breeze.
It's already getting light.
Everything is as stable as yesterday.
Yao caught Wang Peng and beat him severely: "I made you wet the bed, even if you are so old, you still wet the bed!"
Wang Ai rolled on the bed and cried.
Wang Zhu was still not fully awake. He swallowed hard, lifted the quilt completely, and felt relaxed all over.
Rat, no more.
He was full of resentment last night, and indeed he caught a mouse by accident. He knew that there was a pot of sesame oil in the corner of the kitchen, so he poured a little of it and rubbed it on the hemp rope, then hid the mouse under the quilt. But Wang Ge was the only one in the family who knew how to make fire dumplings.
, she always carried it with her. She and her eldest mother stayed up in the courtyard, and he pretended to go to the hut twice without a chance to steal it.
Fortunately there is no chance!
Fortunately, the rat ran away while he was asleep! Even if someone caught him later, or even if the oil-soaked hemp rope accidentally caught fire, it would have nothing to do with him.
After Yao had beaten Wang Peng, he kicked his eldest son angrily: "What are you dreaming about? Hurry up and fold the mats and put them aside!"
At this time, the atmosphere in the main room was depressing.
There was a dead rat on the ground, its mouth and tail were tied up with fine hemp rope, and the tail rope was more than ten feet long.
The mouse was caught by Wang Ge. Her personality means that she is extremely serious in everything she does. After her eldest mother fell asleep, she became even more alert. When the mouse squeezed out of the door of the east wing and ran out, it only made a small noise, but Wang Ge
Ge immediately stared at it. When the rat dragged the long rope and ran away, she stepped on it, pinched the rat again, and woke up the eldest mother.
When Concubine Jia smelled the smell of sesame oil on the rope, she couldn't help but feel frightened and her hair stood on end!
Who would tie a rat's mouth tightly for no reason? Isn't it just to prevent it from barking?
If you tie such a long rope soaked in sesame oil to the rat's tail, what else can you do except light a fire?
Wang Ge followed his eldest mother to the main house and woke up his eldest father. He was so angry that he immediately threw the mouse to death. From that moment on, the old man did not say a word, and his spine was visibly broken.
It wasn't until light came through the window lattice and cries erupted from the east wing that Wang Weng finally spoke: "This matter...can't be forgotten any more. If we don't care about it anymore, this family will be finished."
Wang Ge spent the first half of the night talking to his eldest mother and the second half of the night guarding the courtyard. He didn't sleep at all all night and his lips turned white, but her energy was not at all low: "Father, eldest mother, the rat did come out of the east wing.
If Sanfang doesn't admit it, I'm willing to confront them."
Jia Lai said bitterly: "Confrontation? Yao is worthy of it! To be honest, my eldest mother was afraid that you would fall asleep because you were young. I was just pretending to sleep! When you caught the mouse, I saw it clearly! Ugh...
...What can I, the Wang family, do against her? How dare she have such vicious thoughts, she is not afraid of thunder and lightning!"
Wang Weng stood up, untied the hemp rope from the rat's tail, coiled it in his hand, and said fearfully: "Yes, if there is a fire in such a windy day, not only our house will be burned, but also the houses in the direction of the wind will be destroyed. What a curse! Fortunately,
Goddess Shen Nong Yan Emperor bless you, otherwise how many lives would have been lost cough cough cough..."
Wang Ge and Jia Gui stroked his back one by one.
Wang Weng waved his hand: "Let's go. She is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."
The moment the door to the main room was opened, Wang Weng's collapsed back had already straightened back.
Before the breakfast was ready, Wang He and Wang Shu were about to spread the mats in the courtyard. Wang Weng raised his voice and said: "Don't be busy now, come here. Erlang, go and call your third brother and the whole third room."
Hu Bao, help your father over."
Wang Zhu was helping his mother cook porridge when he heard his second uncle shouting. He came out first to see what was going on. When he saw the dead rat with a sharp mouth tied tightly in front of his eldest father's feet, he was frightened and ran back to the kitchen.
, threw himself in front of my mother and knelt down: "Mom, save me!"
Not long after, everyone except Yao's mother and son stood in front of the main house. Although they had some guesses about the dead rat on the ground with its mouth tied, they didn't think too deeply about it.
Wang Erlang urged in a low voice: "Third brother, please hurry up and call my wife and A Zhu over."
"Oh." Wang Sanlang shouted obediently.
Yao and Wang Zhu came over one after another, dilly-dallying, but Wang Sanlang didn't notice anything was wrong with his wife and children.
When Wang Dalang stood on the right side of Wang Weng, Wang Weng showed his family style and kicked the dead mouse directly in front of Yao's feet, which scared her so much that she screamed.
Little Jia smiled sarcastically: "Tsk, tsk, when did I become afraid of rats?"
Wang Weng raised his voice: "Erlang's bride said it well! Yao, when did you become afraid of rats? Rats should be afraid of you!" As he finished speaking, he threw out the hemp rope.
Wang Zhu's body went limp, and Yao Shi knelt down heavily first! She pulled Wang Zhu, making him tilt and tilt, and shouted quickly: "Son, what did I just say? My mother was confused for a moment, please replace me."
Say something to me! Only you can help me. Do you have a bad tongue? Say something for me!"
Wang Zhu opened his mouth wide, tears streaming down his face.
Jia Guo picked up the dead rat and slapped it on Yao's face. Unable to understand her hatred, she took off her shoes and slapped Yao's face hard. "I know you have a guilty conscience! How dare you burn down this house? Why are you so vicious? You still let me
My grandson pleads for mercy to a poisonous woman like you? How dare you still provoke me to this point! How dare you provoke me!"
"Don't, don't hit me!" Wang Zhu cried and begged, stretching out his hands.
The king and the eldest son were all standing still.
The second room was shocked! At this moment, Wang Shu, the simplest person, probably associated the dead rat with the hemp rope.
There was a section of this hemp rope that was dark in color. When Wang Erlang picked it up and smelled it, sesame oil?! He was furious! There were bamboo cages all over the yard. Was this really a nuisance? He didn’t dare to think about it anymore!
Wang Sanlang held Wang Ai with his left hand and pulled Wang Peng with his right hand. He was anxious, panicked and confused. The two children struggled back and forth and cried: "Stop beating, eldest mother, stop beating aunt!"
Yao's cheeks were bleeding after being scraped with the soles of Jia Gu's straw shoes, and then he felt relieved a little.
Wang Zhu almost lost his breath. He grabbed his mother's arm and blamed himself. He was timid and distressed. He was so tortured that he wanted to tell the truth! "Mom..."
