Chapter 20 It’s chaos, everyone is there

Under the protection of her two grandsons, Mrs. Mutai was safe.

A pair of hateful eyes looked at her in the darkness.

It was Aunt Cui. She was standing in a circle of firewood, while the second child only took care of the Hong family and the children.The third child just came over to help her build a firewood circle. He also had two children, so he naturally took care of them flawlessly.

How could she not hate Mrs. Mutai?

So while no one noticed her in the thick night, she sneaked behind the fire ring where Mrs. Mutai was standing and pulled away a piece of burning firewood.

The fire ring suddenly opened a hole.

Seeing a few fat mountain rats rushing over, Aunt Cui quickly retreated into her fire ring, watching the show happily.

Mrs. Mutai noticed that someone had been staring at her, and she saw the back of Aunt Cuitai passing by. Before she had time to think about it, she saw two or three mountain rats jumping over from the gap.

"Xiao'er, Chao'er, yes, there is Shu..."

Although Mrs. Mutai has lived a long life, she still lives in the mansion in the backyard. Seeing this huge mountain rat, she can't say a complete sentence.

"Yun Chao, seal the gap!" Mu Yunxiao shouted without moving so swiftly.

Mu Yunchao, like Mu Yunxiao's hand, quickly placed the torch he held in the gap, thus preventing more mountain rats from getting in through the gap.

Mu Yunxiao picked up two pebbles with his fingertips and fired them at the mountain rat that was about to bite Mrs. Mu Tai's ankle when it got into the circle.

Only a few screams were heard, and the mountain rat fell to the ground and stopped moving. If you look closely, you will see that the stone has penetrated a few inches into the mountain rat's belly. The mountain rat has already died.

Due to the appearance of the mountain rats, the team was also in chaos.

Some people didn't have enough firewood to burn, so they squeezed into other people's fire rings. Suddenly, there were shouts and screams, which was very chaotic.

Aunt Cui Tai had no one to take care of her, so she occupied a huge fire ring by herself, and was soon noticed by others, so a bunch of people crowded into the fire ring with her.

There are even people who do evil because of their courage.

He pressed a sharp stone against Aunt Cui's waist and took out the gold and silver treasures from her crotch from behind.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Li Jiang and the others were soft-handed in killing mountain rats.

So he said loudly: "Arrange all the firewood you collected into a big circle, so that we can hold on longer. Don't just worry about your own safety. If the mountain rat eats everyone, will it let you go? Can you be here? It’s impossible to live without food or water for the rest of your life.”

This is true.

After thinking for a moment, everyone quickly started to circle the big round fire circle.

With Guan Cha and Ruan He off, they would not be bitten to death by mountain rats, so everyone let go of their boldness, and soon a big circle was formed around them.

Sure enough, a steady stream of mountain rats were standing outside the fire ring. A few brave ones tried to come up and touched the flames with their beards. After their beards were burned, they screamed and retreated.

But the mountain rat seemed unwilling to give in and still stayed here.

Without the continuous influx of mountain rats, Guan Cha and Ruan He quickly eliminated all the mountain rats in the circle, and they were all tired and panting.

But the people in the team kept asking questions.

"Lord Officer, will this mountain rat step through the ring of fire? I'm so scared. We are just exiled, not sentenced to death."

"That's right, you must protect us when you get the salary from the imperial court."

"I was bitten, is there any medicine?"

Li Jiang squinted his eyes full of evil spirits, stared at the people present and cursed: "Shut up, everyone, keep an eye on this fire ring. If there is a gap and a mountain rat comes in, you will be the ones who are killed or injured." . You guys died in the mouths of beasts, I can naturally report this to my superiors." None of them said anything.

Everyone sits around the fire ring, and each family selects one person by default to watch the fire ring to prevent the firewood from burning out.

Mrs. Mutai over there also brought all the remaining firewood to Li Jiang, "Sir, my grandson's wife found these. With these, I should be able to survive the night."

These words were naturally asking for credit from Li Jiang.

Li Jiang also understood.

He believed even more that Ruan He was the lucky one.

Originally, I saw that she did not find food in the mountains and forests, but instead collected so much dry firewood. I did not expect that this dry firewood would play such a useful role.

"You all should be free to process the mountain rat meat one by one, roast it dry and put it all together here with me. Don't say that I won't give you the meat to eat in the future."

As he spoke, Li Jiang whispered to Mrs. Mutai, "Today you, my granddaughter-in-law, have made a contribution. You are allowed to keep two of these roasted mountain rats, and no one can see them."

"Old woman, I understand, I understand." Mrs. Mutai nodded hurriedly.

She didn't know if the scary mountain rat meat could be eaten, but it was still a piece of food. The more food they had, the more hope they had of surviving on the road.

Everyone started to use the branches to hold the mountain rats and roast them on the torch.

The fur of the mountain rat smells burnt after being rolled over by a tongue of fire. When the fire roasts the skin and flesh, there is a unique aroma of meat.

Everyone's originally frightened mood gradually calmed down, and they began to chat leisurely.

"It smells good."

"This thing is edible. It can even eat people."

"Of course you can eat it. I used to spend so much money eating wild game, but now I hate it. If I'm so hungry, I might have to eat people in the future!"

In order to prevent them from hiding it secretly, the officials brought baskets and kept an eye on them. Whichever ones were almost roasted were put into the baskets.

You can eat it tomorrow after removing the internal organs and boiling it.

Mrs. Mutai hid the meat of two mountain rats under the official's deliberate release.

The officials also deliberately counted and found that there were more than 100 mountain rats in the roasted mountain rats. If the fire circle hadn't blocked more mountain rats, they would have died in the belly of the rats tonight.

After struggling for most of the night, the sky turned white, and the mountain rats gathered around the fire circle and refused to give up gradually receded.

I don’t know whether it was because their companions were being roasted or because they were afraid of light. In short, they receded like a tide. It was as if this black tide of books had never existed.

After waiting for another half an hour, the sky was getting brighter.

The mountain rat actually stopped coming.

At this time, a heart-rending wailing sounded, "My money, my money, any shameless thing is trying to rob me of my money, sir, let me make the decision."

Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao were sitting together, and she fell asleep leaning against the big tree. Killing the mountain rats was really draining her physical energy. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by this roar.

She found that she was leaning on Mu Yunxiao's shoulder without realizing it, and his earlobes were still glowing with a hint of red. Ruan He silently moved back to his seat.

She raised her eyelids and took a look. It was Aunt Cui who was crying so hard.

A thought came to mind: Didn’t she hide all her money in her crotch?Can someone touch it?
