Our whole room was staring blankly at this rat that had retreated out of nowhere. Halfway through, Grandma Liu turned around and looked at us:
"Why are these mice gone?"
We looked at Grandma Liu with blank faces and shook our heads.
But it was a good thing to leave, and the tense hearts of all of us relaxed. I asked Grandma Liu if there were guests at their house? I pointed behind me and wanted to ask the man who she was.
Grandma Liu looked in the direction I pointed, shook her head in confusion, and asked what I asked her to look at.
I looked back and saw nothing behind me, no sign of any man.
"It's strange, the person was still here just now." I said and turned to look at Grandma Liu. But the moment I turned to look at ****** Liu, I suddenly found that the duck plate that Grandma Liu was selling ducks on was missing.
Okay, I quickly looked out the door, where are the golden branches and jade leaves?!
He suddenly panicked and quickly grabbed Liu ***’s shoulder:
"Grandma, where is the duck plate in your hand? When you went out just now, did you see two children about three or four years old?!"
"I just threw away my duck plate when I was chased by mice. When you mentioned the duck plate, I remembered one thing. I finally knew why those mice were chasing us. It was the duck I was holding in my hand just now.
There was a duck inside the plate that kept quacking. When the surrounding mice heard the duck's quacking, they all came out and chased us behind us! When we entered the door, I couldn't run away holding this duck plate.
, I threw it away casually, and most of those mice really didn’t follow me. Fairy, you don’t know, when I ran with the duck in my arms just now, the mice behind me were like a wave on TV, overwhelming and scary.
And you asked why our place is called Shupoling. I just asked the village chief on the way, and the village chief said that in the Tang Dynasty, a scholar in our village, in order to gain fame and wealth, actually wanted a rat that had just become a cultivator.
The spirit turns into him and takes the exam. The only condition the little mouse has is to get him a wife..."
I didn't want to hear about whether the mouse wanted a wife or not. Jinzhiyuye hadn't come back yet. I wanted to go out to look for them. I thought about running out quickly, but when I took less than three steps out of the threshold, "Bang!"
With a sound, I plunged into a black stiff thing, and my forehead hurt. When I raised my face, I saw a dark-faced middle-aged man. His face was stiff, as if he didn't know that I hit him, and he didn't wait for me.
Before I had time to walk away, he stepped forward with force and knocked me to the ground again. He raised his feet up to the corner like a robot. If I didn't hide in time, he almost stepped on me.
"You all come out, I have something to say. The Rat King has issued a new order!" A high-pitched voice came from the mouth of this black-faced man. The few people who wanted to come out and help me up just now, now
When I saw the man saying such weird words, I immediately turned around and went back to the house, tied me and this black-faced man outside the house, and shouted in the house that if you have anything to say, just say it!
The man stopped talking and just stamped his feet on the ground suggestively. Every three seconds or so, bursts of provocative screams of rats came from the room!
"Why are there so many rats!"
"Where did these rats come from!"
"It's coming soon!"
————
The people in the house screamed, "Creak!" and with a sound, the door opened. Several people hiding in the house rushed to squeeze out the door, and when they all got out, they closed the door tightly, for fear of what was inside.
Will escape!
"Send someone to call all the villagers in your village!" The black-faced man ordered again. Grandma Liu and the others looked at each other, and finally decided that Grandma Liu would go, and I didn't turn around when I saw the black-faced man.
I slowly got up from the ground. I wanted to run away, but I felt that this black-faced man must not be an ordinary person. I was afraid that something might happen to the villagers in front of me, so I picked up a big stone because I was not sure what the man was.
What do you want to do? Just stand behind the black-faced man.
In about ten minutes, the villagers came over under the leadership of Liu ***. In fact, there were only a dozen people, including a few children under ten years old.
"I've called everyone in our village, but there's no one left." Grandma Liu timidly said to the black-faced man.
The man glanced at the people around him, and he didn't mind the lack of people. He still said in that high-pitched voice:
"We, the Rat King, have decided which girl we want to marry, and have given the official hat as a token of love to this girl. At 10:00 tonight, we will send a wedding team to pick up the bride. We, the Rat King, said that you should dress up the bride.
, marry the bride happily, otherwise, everyone in your village will die!"
At this time, everyone in the village was stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. The youngest ones were all in their forties. There were other girls. But it was also at this time that all their eyes turned to me.
Looking over, I panicked instantly. I lowered my head and caught a glimpse of the hat in my hand!
——It’s a hat! Some man who is afraid of cats gave me a hat! I shook my hand in shock, and the hat rolled from my hand to the ground. How could it be me? I came here to catch mice, why did it get caught instead?
These mice were forced to become brides? And they were married to a mouse!
My mind suddenly collapsed, God knows how all this happened!
The black-faced man picked up my official hat from the ground, put it stiffly in my hand, and said to me:
"We, the Rat King, have taken a liking to you, so you should feel honored and don't think about running away. No matter which inch of land there is, there are subjects of our Rat King. This official title cannot be thrown away. Tonight, you must personally serve for our Rat King."
Put it on with your own hands!”
After the man finished speaking, the flesh on his body began to loosen bulgingly, and in an instant, there was a "Whoosh!" sound and turned into countless rats scattering around. I held the official hat of the Rat King in my hand.
Standing there in a daze, it's so difficult to be a good person in this world now, because helping others actually costs your own life.
"Fairy aunt..." The villagers came up and couldn't say the next words. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at me. I was a little impatient. If I had known the consequences of this, I wouldn't have come here.
"Don't worry, I will go, but the premise is that you have to help me find two children, one boy and one girl, about three or four years old, named Jinzhi Yuye. Once found, I can say anything."
The village chief was a short, fat middle-aged man. When he heard what I said, he immediately dispersed the crowd and told them to find them quickly. He came up to me and said that I was the Guanyin and the savior of their village. Later, he said
I was so moved that I started crying.
Seeing him crying, I was embarrassed to ignore him all the time, so I explained the reason clearly to him, saying that I would have a way to control the rat by night.
When the village chief heard this, he felt relieved and hurriedly set out to find someone to find Jinzhiyuye.
I thought that Jin Zhi Yu Ye was just looking for the little duck. If the duck was not dead and couldn't run fast, we could still find it in such a short period of time. However, I waited from morning to afternoon and turned the village upside down again.
I checked three or four times, but there was still no sign of these two little ancestors. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I hurriedly went to freshen up and put on a good show, waiting for Tang Ange to come later, looking for golden branches and jade leaves, and cleaning up the Rat King.
, two things were done together!
After Grandma Liu saw me putting on the bride's clothes, she was a little worried and asked me if I had been killed. I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I felt vaguely worried because it was getting dark now.
, it’s windy and cold outside, and Tang Ange hasn’t come here yet. If he is delayed by other things tonight, or doesn’t come, I will really have to live with a mouse for the rest of my life.
Just after seven o'clock, a burst of firecrackers and the sound of blowing music came from outside the house from far to near. Grandma Liu shouted outside that the wedding team was coming!
Looking out through the door, I saw a series of red lanterns forming a long queue walking towards us in the dark night outside. I became more and more worried and anxious. Where did Tang Ange go?
Didn't he tell me to wait for him, and he would come to help me? It's already seven o'clock, and even if I walked here from Houliang Mountain in Yanzhi Town, I should have already walked there.
The wedding team stopped at the gate of Grandma Liu's house. I went out to take a look, and a large pair of people appeared in front of me. The leader was a young man riding a tall white horse. Yes, this man was Bai Tian
The man I was helping to get rid of the cat had a strong wind blowing over him, causing his bright red dress to fly.
The man jumped off his horse, walked over to me, and asked me if I wanted to go with him. I looked at the thousands of rats crowded behind him, then looked at the villagers behind me, and nodded slightly helplessly.
Lower your head.
My body was hugged by the air, and I was carried by the man into the sedan chair behind the horse. The sedan chair was a bit big and could accommodate two people, so the man didn't go out. He leaned over to arrange for the people outside to go home, and then returned
He sat next to me in the sedan and looked at my face carefully. I felt very uncomfortable when he looked at me. I wanted to tell him not to look, but I didn't have the courage to say this.
The man looked at me for a long time, then suddenly laughed like a child and complimented me on how pretty I was. Then he stretched out a pair of hands with relatively long knuckles and carefully lowered the hijab on my head, little by little.
covering my face.
Although I don’t reject the appearance of this rat king, no matter how good he is, he is still a rat! I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to wake up every morning and see a huge rat lying next to the bed.
I was so anxious about the scene that I almost went crazy. I comforted myself over and over again, Tang Ange will definitely come, Tang Ange will definitely come...!
