Chapter 89 Wexford

woo~~~
woo~~~
Accompanied by the screech of brakes, the steam train from the direction of New Rose City stopped in front of Wexford Station.

This coastal city, which is only 113 kilometers away from Dublin, surpasses New Ross City in terms of population and town size, and even the more remote urban fringe areas are covered with stone bricks on the streets.

Different from the rapidly industrializing city of New Ross, Wexford still retains its original posture during the industrial revolution, most of which are some ancient buildings left over from the Middle Ages. atmosphere.

Junia, who left New Ross City for the first time, looked left and right, curiously observing this strange city, and was very excited.

Ma Wei, who was not familiar with the terrain here, bought a map at the exit of the station, looking for the street where the inviter lived.

Time is limited. If they want to complete all commissions in one day, they must plan the route in advance. They cannot run from east to west and then back to east. This is a waste of time.

"Well, Mike Street is in the center of the city, and it's far from the station. We can settle the commission near the station first, and then go to Mrs. Burnley and Mr. Sean in the center of the city."

After agreeing on the plan, Ma Wei and the others acted immediately, and led the cat and cat people team to the home of Mr. Ante who lived in the apartment behind the station.

Unfortunately, the sender of the letter, Mr. Ant, was not at home. His wife was a little surprised when she saw Ma Wei and the others.

"We just tried it out, but we didn't expect you to come here, and you came so fast!"

In the living room, Mrs. Ant warmly invited Ma Wei and the others to sit down and brought black tea and hard biscuits: "Actually, Sheldon and I have no hope. There is no free lunch in the world. Even if there is, it often needs to be paid for." More to pay, but the rats in the house are getting more and more annoying, we can't stand them anymore!"

Can mice get more and more annoying?

Mavi didn't quite understand Mrs. Ant's meaning. In his opinion, things like mice were always annoying, no matter day or night.

"Who doesn't have a few mice?" Mrs. Ant sat on the sofa holding the wooden tray, and sighed: "I know this is a normal thing, but since a few days, they seem to suddenly become irritable There are many, always jumping up and down, knocking over the iron box on the cabinet, and gnawing things non-stop in the middle of the night, making the chickens and dogs restless."

Hearing this, Ma Wei frowned and looked more serious: "Did those rats bite people?"

"Don't bite." Mrs. Ant said: "Although they are very irritable and different from before, they are still very afraid of people. They run away when they see me."

How is it different from the rats in New Rose?
The rats in New Rose bite everyone and carry a sinful curse. It stands to reason that if the rats in Wexford were also infected with the curse, they should become extremely aggressive.
The truth is quite the opposite.

Just as Ma Wei was thinking, there were rustling sounds on the roof, and the squeaking of mice. They seemed to be running between the gaps in the roof, or they might be fighting.
Of course, you can't get the correct answer just by asking, but if you catch a few mice and have a look, won't everything come to light?
"Mrs. Ant, during our work, some toxic chemicals will be used, so please move outside the house and sit in a nearby coffee shop for a while. We will clean up the remaining drugs after the work is completed to ensure the safety of you and your husband." healthy."

After a pause, Ma Wei added: "If you are worried about us, you can also choose to wait downstairs or outside the door."

"I'll go downstairs so as not to disturb you."

Before leaving home, Mrs. Ant went upstairs, took out a few gold pounds from the gap under the mattress, carefully put them in her pocket, and then walked down the stairs.

To this
Ma Wei and Levin looked at each other, shrugged, and said nothing.

When a stranger comes to the house suddenly and asks the owner to leave during work, everyone will feel suspicious and suspect the purpose of the other party, which is normal.

Who else but a fool would pour out their hearts and souls to a stranger?
Trust is built little by little.

After Mrs. Ant left, Ma Wei closed the doors and windows and slapped her hands: "Everyone, let's get started."

With the help of Levine, the body of the middle-aged man with the scary scars gradually shrank, turning into a cat with scars on his face, and several other cat people also returned to their original appearance.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!"

Xiao Hei raised his paw, and with an order, Ahua, Scarface, Daban, Xiaomei, and several cats on Friday rushed out, relying on their rich experience and innate talent to attack the mice in the apartment. There was a hunting operation.

"Wow!"

"Squeak!"

While rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the mice were forced out of the cracks and fled in a hurry. Although they were very fast, they were no match for Ahua and the others. After all, Ahua and the cats had wandered on the street. The mouse tricks are much more powerful than domestic cats.

The only thing that can't help but frown
It's Friday.

Pampered and pampered, it has been spoiled by Levin since childhood, let alone catching mice, it is difficult to climb trees.

In less than 10 minutes, it allowed three or four mice to escape from its claws. Seeing his clumsy performance, Levin couldn't help but finally took out an iron rod with a hook from his bag and joined the melee among.

With the help of the owner, Friday finally caught a mouse. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around triumphantly, intending to show Xiaomei his 'talent' in hunting.

It wasn't until it saw the pile of little mice under Xiaomei's feet that it lowered its head dejectedly, no longer feeling complacent.

Some mice hiding in the hole in the wall, Ahua, they can't catch them, and it's obviously impossible to wait for the rabbit. Fortunately, Levin has an iron rod with a hook, and when he stabs it into the hole and stirs it like whipped cream, the mice are forced to rush. They came out, and one after another fell under the paws of the cats.

After nearly half an hour of chaos, the house was finally quiet. The mice were piled together in the center of the living room. There were more than [-] of them, and there was no more annoying squeaking.

"Master, Scarface was accidentally bitten."

Xiao Hei, who was in charge of supervising the battle and cleaning up the mess, ran back and said.

"Bite?"

Knowing how powerful the curse was, Ma Wei hurriedly hugged Scarface, saw a small bleeding wound on its arm, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Meow meow."

"Scarface said it was a little dizzy, it's nothing serious." Xiao Hei translated.

Just in case, Mavi asked Junia to fetch a glass of water, and after exerting the power of grace in the water, he gave Scarface a few sips.

Soon, Scarface returned to normal, but he still limped a little when he walked.

"Boss, come and see!"

Crouching in front of the pile of dead rats, Levin, holding a dagger, shouted, "These rats are weird!"

"What's weird?"

"When they cut their skins, a puff of black air came out, very little, only a little bit."
