Knock Down That Tower

Chapter 97: Marmot

Midnight.

Planted outside the fence of the spruce root.

Willy sat on a low bench, looking up casually at the night sky and the twinkling stars.

Aden, on the other hand, put his hands into both sleeves, wrapped in a thick padded jacket, and paced back and forth. He doesn't have Willy's abnormal physique, and even if it's cold, he's still only wearing a single shirt.

Now Willy and Aden are attentively waiting for the thief who ate the star-spotted snow root to come again.

"Mr. Tunchang, do we want to light a fuel lamp? In this case, we can see the thing that stole the Xingbanxuegen."

Aton suggested.

Willy waved his hand, expressing his disapproval: "That thing is very timid. If it was brightly lit, it would not dare to come over."

Aden heard the words, oh, and then continued to walk back and forth. Only by continuing to move can his body not freeze.

Looking at Aden, who was trembling, Willy thought to himself, it's time to build a resting hut next to the land for the night-watching villagers. In this way, the two of them take turns on duty, and it won't be so hard.

The weather was warm before, and it was okay to keep vigil outside. In this weather, if you continue to stay outside all night, people will freeze to death.

The cold wind is blowing, and the moonlight is dense.

Suddenly, Willy caught a rustling sound.

The sound is very slight, even the current Willy can only hear a very slight sound.

The little guy who stole the star-spotted snow root is here again.

Willie got up suddenly, startling Aden.

"Lord Tunchang..."

Aden was about to ask if the thief was coming, but saw Willy make a silent movement, so he quickly understood.

Aden was not in a hurry, he followed behind Willy and stopped outside the fence. Willy had already entrusted him to catch the thief, Willy can come alone, he is responsible for fighting from the side.

Willy's movements were very slight, his footsteps stepped on the dirt, hardly making a sound. Willy's control over himself has now reached an extremely subtle level, reducing the frequency of footstep vibrations is very simple for him.

As Willy continued to go deeper into the ground, the rustling voice became clearer and clearer.

"Where!"

Soon, Willy locked the position of the sound.

Right under the star-spotted snow root close to the northeast corner of the wall! That's where the sound comes from!

Willy remained patient until he was three meters away from the source of the sound, when he suddenly moved.

He pounced directly on the ground and plunged his palms directly into the soil. The soil was soft and had no resistance at all.

Immediately afterwards, Willy felt that he had caught a furry, palm-sized living creature. The furry little thing was struggling violently and squeaking. However, Willy's palm is like a cage that can't be freed from it, and it can't move at all.

"Light the lights!"

Willy ordered to Aden.

Aden was ready for a long time, and quickly lit the oil lamp with his hands and feet, and leaned in front of Willy.

"It really is it!"

After seeing the little furry thing in his hand, Willy showed a smile.

It was a small animal similar to the shape of a mouse. It had a khaki body, small eyes, almost only a slit, short limbs, but sharp claws. Its tail was very short, almost one-fifth the size of a normal mouse.

The earth drug rat, a kind of creature between ordinary beasts and demon beasts, has no fighting power at all, but it is very strange.

Compared with the demon beasts, the number of earth drug rats is not very rare, but few people can find its traces. It only likes to haunt in the depths of inaccessible forests or villages or villages where medicinal herbs are grown. It only likes to act at night, and has extremely clever stealth capabilities, so ordinary people can't find it at all.

If it wasn't for Wei Li in Fandoutun, even if the entire population of Fandoutun gathered in front of Xingbanxuegen, they would not have noticed that it was secretly gnawing on the ground, and even if they found it, they would never have caught it Rapid movement underground.

The earth drug rat is fed with herbs and other plants rich in extremely high nutrients. After absorbing a small part of the essence, it will decompose and catalyze most of the nutrients and excrete it from the body, which is why its feces are scented with medicine.

Although the feces after decomposition and catalysis can not be eaten directly, they have extremely high value as fertilizers.

The crops that are fertilized with the dung of the earth drug rat will grow stronger, bear more fruits or improve the quality, and are more resistant to the erosion of harsh environments and pests.

It is precisely because of this that Willy was so moved after he discovered the trail of the drug mouse. With this earth drug rat, the feces it excreted may not seem to be much, but there is no problem in supporting the growth of half of the crops of the Fandou Village.

"Lord Tunchang, what is this?"

Aden looked at Willy's hand in surprise, which looked like a mouse.

"It's called the earth drug rat, a very interesting animal~www.readwn.com~It..."

Willy was about to explain to Aden when suddenly he heard another sound.

"Could it be..."

Willy's eyes lit up, his hands were quick, and his other hand reached into the soil, and he pulled out another drug rat from the soil.

"There are actually two?"

Willy had a drug mouse in one hand, looking very surprised.

The drug rat's movements are very light, and he just discovered the movement of a soil drug rat. If you guessed correctly, the drug rat should have escaped by burrowing into the ground, but now it seems that it should have returned.

why is that?

He put another drug rat in front of his eyes for a closer look, but found that the belly of the drug rat was slightly bulging, and his struggling movements were a little clumsy.

"No wonder the drug rat has returned again..."

Willie almost wanted to laugh out loud.

These two drug rats are a pair. In pairs, they do not look for food separately, they act together every time. I had caught the male drug rat before, which made the female drug rat very uneasy, so he returned and was all caught by Willy.

Looking at this female drug rat, she should be pregnant. If there is no accident, in a month, Willy can harvest a new litter of new drug rats.

In this way, even if Fandoutun continues to expand, the terrestrial drug rats that are constantly multiplying in their hands are enough to support the fertilizer required by Fandoutun.

So far, as long as there is no large-scale natural disaster, Willy no longer has to worry about the planting of crops in Fandoutun.

Thinking of this, Willy felt very happy.

"Aden, you go and build a small wooden house, pad it with cotton, and build a new nest for these two earthworms."

Willie ordered.
