While asking who it was, he walked over and opened the door.
I heard an anxious voice coming from outside the door, "Brother Du, my little prince~"
Du Fei heard it and found out that it was Xiao Wang from his office.
This is strange. Although they have a good relationship at work, Xiao Wang comes to the house in the middle of the night and is still in such a hurry. What's the matter?
Du Fei hurriedly opened the door and saw Xiao Wang with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Du Fei, he said, "Brother Du, that's great. Is your cat here?"
Du Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Wang's first question was to ask Xiao Wu. He was surprised and said, "Don't be anxious and speak slowly~ What's wrong?"
Xiao Wang swallowed his saliva.
Du Fei asked him to go inside and drink some water.
But Xiao Wang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, Brother Du! Hurry up, take Xiao Wu and follow me to the grain depot. My uncle is making a noise over there!"
Du Fei was a little confused. He didn't quite understand the meaning of "rat making".
Although I heard that the rats in the grain depot are different from ordinary rats. They can grow very big and are not afraid of people.
But a mouse is a mouse, what other tricks can he pull off?
But looking at Xiao Wang's angry appearance, it doesn't look like he was joking.
At this time, the expression of the third uncle who came in with Xiao Wang changed.
Xiao Wang came just now. It was midnight. He was the uncle of the front yard. He definitely wanted to ask who he was looking for.
If you are looking for someone else, just ask.
But as soon as he said he was looking for Du Fei, the third uncle immediately sent him over attentively. Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, he quickly interrupted and said, "What's going on? What's going on? Is it serious?"
Xiao Wang ignored him and only urged Du Fei.
Seeing him like this, Du Fei didn't insist on asking, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get dressed."
I went back to the house to get dressed, called Xiao Wu who had already come back, and hurriedly rode his bicycle and left with Xiao Wang.
The third uncle followed behind, feeling anxious.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wang really didn't have the heart to answer him correctly.
Watching the two of them leave, the third uncle frowned and his little bitch eyes rolled around.
At this time, Silly Zhu, who had just been staring at Banggan in the middle courtyard, ran to the front yard at some point and called out "Uncle San" with a smile.
The third uncle said "Ouch" and looked back, "Hey, Silly Zhu, you scared me."
Silly Zhu said hehely, "Third uncle, what happened just now? Who is that person?"
The third uncle had something on his mind, and he was still thinking about the few words he heard just now, and casually said, "It was said that there was a rat infestation in the grain depot..."
Halfway through the words, the third uncle came back to his senses and laughed dryly, "Uh~ That person is a comrade from Du Fei's unit."
When he was done, he didn't pay any attention to Shazhu anymore, turned around and went back to the house.
Silly Zhu blinked his eyes, rubbed his nose with his hand, hurried back to the central courtyard, sent the sticks home, and ran to the uncle's house.
"Zhuzhu, what's the matter?" The first man and his wife were preparing to take Xiaojun and Xiaoling to bed.
Silly Zhu lowered his voice and said, "Master, open the door~"
After waiting for a while, the door opened.
Silly Zhu ducked in.
Yi Zhonghai put on his clothes and asked, "What's wrong?" A mother also came out with Xiaoling in her arms.
Silly Zhu said, "Master, aunt, someone just came to see Xiao Du. I heard from Third Master that there was a rat infestation in the grain depot. It seems to be serious. Should we use it..." At this point, Silly Zhu couldn't help but spit at the mouth. "
Do you need to prepare?"
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed.
The aunt also changed her face.
It's not that they are frightened, but that they have all gone through difficult times in the past few years. Very sensitive to matters involving food.
Especially when it comes to rats in the grain depot, they are definitely not just dozens or hundreds of rats, they must be tens of thousands.
In addition, I knew little about the plague, so I was worried that rats would cause trouble, contaminate the food, and starve me.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but lick his lips and said solemnly, "Zhuzi, don't make any noise about this yet!"
Silly Zhu nodded hurriedly, he also knew that when it comes to food, there is no small matter.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, if it is spread out from his mouth and causes people to panic and rush to buy food, he will definitely not get any good results.
Yi Zhonghai added, "Let's get up early tomorrow morning and go to the grain station first."
Silly Zhu nodded, knowing that Yi Zhonghai secretly stocked up some food at home just in case, and whispered, "The old lady's place..."
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Don't tell the old lady now. I'll buy an extra one to prepare. The old lady won't be hungry."
Silly Zhu laughed dryly, "Um, I want to buy food. I have no shortage of money, but these food stamps..."
Yi Zhonghai was stunned, "No~ you work in the cafeteria and don't usually buy food. Where are your food stamps?"
Silly Zhu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "They are all sold in the pigeon market."
"You~" the first uncle pointed his hand and cursed, "You prodigal son, I will lend you twenty pounds first..."
Silly Zhu was not very satisfied, "It's only twenty pounds~"
Yi Zhonghai glared, "How much more do you want? You don't even have a single food stamp left in your hand?"
At the same time, Du Fei and Xiao Wang rode quickly to the grain depot.
They didn't come to the grain depot behind Chu Cheng's grain depot.
It is a larger grain storage warehouse located in the north of the new city.
From a distance, Du Fei could see the huge grain store towering high inside through the wall.
At the same time, Xiaowu, who was sitting on the back frame of his bicycle, also smelled an unusual smell.
Suddenly he opened his big mouth and let out a roar similar to that of a tiger or leopard.
Xiao Wang, who was riding a bicycle beside him, heard Xiao Wu making this noise, and felt a chill coming from his heart. He couldn't hold his hand on the handlebars, and the bicycle swayed for a while.
Fortunately, he was not short, so he could barely stand with his legs spread apart.
At the gate of the grain storage warehouse, there were many people standing. In addition to the grain warehouse workers, there were also many soldiers.
Du Fei's sharp eyes quickly found Gu Bingzhong who was surrounded by people.
At this time, Gu Bingzhong was wearing a gray tunic suit, gritting his teeth, frowning, and feeling like an ant on a hot pot.
But as a leader, at critical moments, he cannot get into chaos and must remain calm in front of others.
Look past the crowd and look inside the gate of the grain depot, within the light range of several searchlights.
The ground was filled with black rats running around everywhere.
Du Fei's scalp felt numb as he looked at it, thinking where could there be so many rats? He looked at Xiao Wu with some worry.
Although it is natural to say that mice are afraid of cats.
But when it reaches this order of magnitude, it has long since changed from quantitative to qualitative.
Now for these rats, let alone one cat, there are a hundred or a thousand, they are not afraid, they will gnaw them into cat bones when they swarm up.
On the contrary, nearby, Du Fei saw several cats that were originally kept in the grain depot. They were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to move.
However, Xiaowu showed no fear at all when he saw this scene.
Instead, he jumped from the rear frame onto Du Fei's shoulders, raised his head and looked at the scene of rats raging in the grain depot.
At this time, Du Fei and Xiao Wang arrived behind Gu Bingzhong.
Xiao Wang called "uncle".
Gu Bingzhong turned around and saw the two of them, especially Xiaowu lying on Du Fei's shoulder, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Shake hands with Du Fei tightly: "Great, Comrade Du Fei, you are finally here."
Du Fei said, "Lao Gu, what's going on? Where do so many rats come from?"
Gu Bingzhong sighed, "In all the years I have worked in the granary, this is the first time I have encountered such a large-scale rat tide. I had heard from an old comrade that a rat tide broke out in the granary in Tongzhou during the Guangxu period, and more than 300,000 kilograms of it were transported from the granary.
The food that had just arrived from the canal was all eaten up overnight.”
At this point, Gu Bingzhong sighed, "Originally, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems..."
As he said that, he looked inside the grain depot again.
With the current situation, so many rats are like a swarm.
If we really can't solve it until tomorrow morning, we don't know how much food we will lose. I'm afraid it won't be much less than 300,000 jins.
At this time, a soldier with a resolute face came over, glanced at Du Fei and Xiao Wu on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Director Gu, I think it's really not possible, so I'd better use a flamethrower~"
When Gu Bingzhong heard this, his head suddenly sounded like a rattle, "No, absolutely not! Captain Zhang, there is still a lot of flour in the warehouse. Once it encounters an open flame, it will explode..."
Speaking of this, Gu Bingzhong seemed to remember some horrific experience, and couldn't help but vomit, "A flamethrower is absolutely useless! Captain Zhang, you don't know! The flour will really explode, which is more terrifying than a bomb, and the land within a radius of two miles will be razed to the ground."
Company Commander Zhang was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This is the first time I heard that flour can explode!
However, Gu Bingzhong looked serious, obviously not joking with him.
But seeing those nasty rats destroying food and being helpless, he felt like needles pricking his heart.
After Gu Bingzhong finished speaking, he looked at Du Fei... Xiaowu on his shoulder and said expectantly, "Xiao Du, our grain depot is counting on you this time!"
Du Fei didn't say much, he directly communicated with Xiao Wu and asked if it would work.
If Xiao Wu said no, he would not force Xiao Wu to take the risk.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu was actually very excited. He immediately let out a "meow" and jumped directly from Du Fei's shoulder to the roof of the military jeep next to him. He raised his head and roared like a wolf.
The "Woo" sound of Xiaowu is deeper than the howl of a wolf and can be heard far away.
Everyone present was stunned, including Captain Zhang and his soldiers.
Because it was night, many people didn't notice the big cat lying on Du Fei's shoulder.
Now I pay special attention and realize that Xiao Wu is different.
After this sound, the most immediate effect was on the cats in the original grain depot.
There were probably dozens of them, shivering in fear from the rat tide. After hearing Xiaowu's roar, they all stood up and gathered together, as if they had found a backbone.
As the old saying goes, if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging in a nest.
Although Xiaowu's territory only covers half of the old city, and these cats were not Xiaowu's subordinates originally, it doesn't matter now.
Dozens of cats came over and changed their faces on the spot, baring their teeth and meowing as they faced into the grain depot.
At first, no one thought that a big cat would solve the problem. After all, there were too many rats in the grain depot.
But this scene gives people a glimmer of hope.
Even Gu Bingzhong was surprised .
At the same time, Xiaowu jumped down from the roof of the jeep, and with the dozens of grain depot cats that he had summoned, he trotted towards the grain depot gate in a swaggering and unhurried manner, like a group of gangsters.
Originally, these granary cats had been catching mice and eating them in the granary all year round. All of them were fat and strong, and their fighting ability was not weak.
I was just scared to death by the rat tide before.
Now that Xiaowu is leading them, it's like they've been given a shot of blood, and their combat effectiveness has soared back again.
However, everyone was staring at the gate of the grain depot.
Seeing Xiaowu leading a group of cats, they are about to come into contact with the rat tide, and the battle is about to break out.
Xiaowu walked in directly.
And those big rats running around on the ground, as if they had encountered a nemesis, scattered to the side to make way for them.
This scene was both unexpected and reasonable.
When a mouse meets a cat, isn't that what it should be like?
As expected, a bloody cat-and-mouse war did not break out.
Just like that, Xiao Wu led dozens of granary cats inside.
After a while, a red-haired mouse that was larger than an ordinary mouse came out.
This big mouse is obviously very old, and its beard has turned white.
But it is obviously far worse than Hui Daxian's 'Tao Xing', and poses no threat to Xiao Wu.
At this time, he was dying, with Xiao Wu biting the back of his neck and kicking his legs from time to time.
As for the rat tide in the grain depot, after this big red-haired rat was caught, the other rats all stopped and dispersed around them under the cover of night.
In the minds of everyone present, a sentence popped up in the minds of everyone present: add salted water and order tofu, and everything will be reduced.
Especially Gu Bingzhong, when he invited Du Fei to dinner last time and talked about the Gray Immortal.
Du Fei once said with disdain that it only takes three steps to deal with the Gray Immortal.
At that time, Gu Bingzhong didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Now I can see that Du Fei really wasn't bragging, he actually divided it into three steps. The first step is to kill the little bird; the second step is to bite him to death; the third step is to bring him back.
Ready-made examples are right in front of you!
It wasn't until Xiao Wu came back and threw the dying red-haired mouse in front of Du Fei like a treasure that Gu Bingzhong realized what he was doing and shook hands with Du Fei again, saying thank you very much.
Company Commander Zhang on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care whether he got credit or not. Saving a storehouse of food was better than anything else.
Du Fei was very humble and polite, and when he saw that nothing happened, he offered to leave.
Originally, he had planned not long ago to get another mouse to destroy the water tower.
Just when I felt sleepy, someone gave me a pillow.
Although this big red-haired mouse is not as good as the Great Gray Immortal, it is still a 'leader' level big mouse.
He was revived with white light, it must be stronger than Xiao Hui.
Moreover, Xiaowu had just brought it back, and the big mouse still had one breath left.
Unfortunately, there were many people present, and he couldn't directly put it into the portable space.
In addition, Xiao Wu was too harsh with his words. Before he could even say a few words, the red-haired rat kicked his legs and completely fucked him.
However, Gu Bingzhong was still nagging, insisting on inviting Du Fei to dinner to express his gratitude.
Originally, Du Fei was still refusing, trying to find an excuse to take the red-haired mouse away quickly.
There is no need now, I simply agree to give him a good meal and let this old Gu talk too much and ruin things.
Du Fei paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey, but ~ Lao Gu, you can't be stingy, you must get some good wine!"
