Chapter 914 Shushu was caught
The moonlight is like water in the countryside.
Xue Yuantong looked up and saw the lights on the river dam in the distance flickering like stars, with vendors and tourists coexisting.
And here she was, in a quiet and secluded place.
Xue Yuantong carried the lantern and continued to play the night watchman. Her voice was crisp: "The world of the living is peaceful and all is well."
Xue Chuchu silently reminded: "Aren't we catching bamboo rats?"
Xue Yuantong glanced at her sideways and criticized in his heart, saying that young people nowadays are so impatient, she hasn't finished speaking yet!
Then, Xue Yuantong recited: "Only evil rats bring disaster to the world. Today, you will enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"
"Go, Jiang Ning!" She waved her little hand.
Jiang Ning: “I don’t care.”
There was no other choice, so Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu worked together to search for wild bamboo rats.
Finding bamboo rats is a technical job. In such a large area of land, it is extremely difficult to find bamboo rats hiding in their holes.
Xue Yuantong dressed up as an old hunter and talked eloquently: "Bamboo rats like to eat Miscanthus roots, thatch roots, and bamboo. Look over there, is that a small bamboo forest?"
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The moonlight is exceptionally bright. A bamboo forest can be vaguely seen in the distance among the dim fields.
"Let's go to our destination!" Xue Yuantong led the team and strolled to the bamboo forest.
There was a dry ditch nearby, covered with bamboo and weeds. Xue Yuantong flew in, but luckily she didn't fall, otherwise Xue Chuchu would have had difficulty finding her.
Xue Yuantong swam in the grass for a while and shook his head repeatedly: "Dry grass, all dry grass, no bamboo rats!"
Xue Chuchu: "Do you need fresh grass?"
"Not only fresh grass, but also fresh soil!" said Xue Yuantong.
When Xue Chuchu heard this, she felt that it made some sense, so she turned on her flashlight and searched the bamboo forest.
Although Xue Chuchu is now cold and aloof, with tender skin and a look of being out of touch with the world, she is still a little village girl at heart.
She did farm work in her childhood and often ran around in the fields, catching grasshoppers and butterflies, so she was quite good at this.
After searching for a while, Xue Chuchu used her flashlight to illuminate a bamboo and called out, "Tongtong, come quickly."
Xue Yuantong ran to the side, poked out his little face, and said in surprise: "Bite marks, there really is a bamboo rat!"
Xue Chuchu was also encouraged, and the two little girls continued to look for traces of bamboo rat holes.
Seeing that the two of them were in high spirits, Jiang Ning did not interfere too much. He simply just let them do what they wanted.
He had been in Heba for more than a year, destroying illegal chemical factories, managing water systems, prohibiting farmers from indiscriminate use of pesticides, and frequently burning garbage, etc. The natural environment within a radius of ten miles was in a benign dynamic balance, and the presence of bamboo rats was completely within his expectations.
If the two of them could really catch the bamboo rat, the sense of accomplishment would definitely be greater than Jiang Ning's.
"If you don't know anything, you can ask me." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong curled his lips secretly: "Show off."
Jiang Ning: "I'll only give you twenty minutes, then I'll take over the bamboo forest."
Xue Yuantong continued to look for the cute bamboo rat.
Jiang Ning had nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone and opened the chess app.
He wanted to randomly match players, but after a little thought, he returned to WeChat and sent a private message: "What are you doing? Let's play chess."
……
Huqi Mountain, villa area.
On the second floor, in the spacious kitchen, Ding Shuyan was wearing an apron around her waist, which was rare. She held the soup spoon in her hand, her flexible waist slightly bent, and gently tasted the soup.
Lin Han sat at the dining table, half believing and half doubting: "Can I eat it?"
She had wanted to go out for dinner tonight, but Lin Han was shocked when her niece claimed that she had made soup.
Ding Shuyan nodded slightly: "I can drink it."
"Did you blanch the ribs? Do they taste fishy?" Lin Han worried.
Ding Shuyan was not offended at all. She had clear rules: "Soak the ribs for an hour, wash them with flour, and then blanch them in water. There won't be any fishy smell."
She looked at the oil floating on the soup, scooped a small bowl and brought it to Lin Han.
Lin Han looked down and saw that yam, carrots and red dates were added to the pork ribs and corn soup, which looked really good.
She took a sip as if testing poison, and was immediately surprised: "You have good cooking skills."
Ding Shuyan, who usually kept her composure, raised her lips slightly, then quickly withdrew them. She was calm and rational:
"Cooking is not difficult at all. Once you understand the process, it is much simpler than math problems. I really don't understand why some people think cooking is difficult."
Lin Han felt that her niece was like a yin and yang to herself, but considering that the soup was delicious, she temporarily forgave her.
Ding Shuyan untied her apron, and her temperament changed accordingly, and she regained the sense of control over everything that seemed to be born with her.
She then looked at the table and found that the phone screen was lit up.
Ding Shuyan checked calmly and found that it was a message from Jiang Ning.
She immediately replied: "I'm ready to eat, you can play."
Jiang Ning was very generous. He sent a message: "Then you should eat first. Food is the most important thing for people."
Ding Shuyan's mouth curled up into an evil arc unconsciously: "No, I'll put you first."
Until Lin Han's gaze came over, Ding Shuyan quickly put away her smile.
Lin Han stared.
Ding Shuyan looked at him calmly, and only after she forced Lin Han to retreat did she float back to the bedroom.
Chess is a game of logic, and Ding Shuyan is an expert at it. She originally planned to give Jiang Ning the advantage, and then when the fight got intense, she would deliberately let Jiang Ning win.
But, as the rain continued, Ding Shuyan found that they were evenly matched, and there was even a tendency for her to be defeated.
She was not a pedantic person, so she opened her iPad and used two fingers to click like a butterfly to quickly restore the endgame. She chose to let the master-level computer help her play, and she played the game according to the master's steps.
Gradually, Jiang Ning began to lose.
Ding Shuyan smiled faintly. She would not deny the technological development of mankind from ancient times to the present because of her extraordinary power. She only chose things that were beneficial to her.
From this moment on, Ding Shuyan transformed into a technology warrior.
Just as she was preparing to secretly give Jiang Ning some moves, she suddenly discovered that Jiang Ning's chess pieces changed strangely, and there was a strong murderous aura.
Ding Shuyan's expression gradually froze, and the master-level computer actually began to fail.
In the end, she tried her best but still lost the game.
Ding Shuyan stared at the screen for a long time without saying a word, and an indescribable emotion emerged on her outstanding face.
It was a master-level computer. She had played countless games against it and never won a single one, and she had never seen anyone around her win either.
now…
Did she overestimate technology and underestimate the extraordinary?
At the same time, Jiang Ning took the phone back from Tongtong, touched her soft hair, and praised her generously: "You are worthy of it."
Xue Yuantong snorted: "Don't you even look at who I am?"
Then he said, "I'm hungry. Please help me find a bamboo rat."
Jiang Ning: “Okay.”
……
Before Jiang Ning could make a move, Xue Chuchu stood in the dry ditch, looking at a patch of loose soil on the slope.
"I think I found the bamboo rat hole," she said.
Xue Yuantong jumped over quickly and dug a few times with a small wooden stick, revealing a dark mud hole.
"It's from a bamboo rat. The bamboo rat will block the entrance with mud!" Xue Yuantong concluded.
Xue Chuchu shone the flashlight on the bamboo rat hole, then she found a branch and poked it inside.
"The measurable part alone is at least one meter deep. How do we catch it?" Xue Chuchu was in a dilemma.
This is not a crayfish hole, you can't just dig it out with your hands. But it's impossible to dig it out with a bamboo rat hole. Not to mention whether you can touch it or not, you might get bitten.
"Water!"
"Smoke!"
Chuchu and Tongtong blurted out.
Jiang Ning's spiritual consciousness extended, like an X-ray with countless times higher definition, penetrating the heavy soil and revealing everything in the bamboo rat cave.
A gray bamboo rat was hiding in a dark corner.
According to Jiang Ning's estimation, there is not much hope in flooding and releasing smoke, and it is also time-consuming, unless the bamboo rat cave is completely dug open. Many people who catch bamboo rats rely on digging, which often takes several hours.
Jiang Ning was too lazy to bother, so he took out a small firework.
Xue Yuantong saw it and shouted, "Ground rat!"
The Ground Rat is a small spinning firework. When lit, it runs around the ground like a spinning top. Tongtong played with it when he was a child and almost burned his own firewood pile.
Jiang Ning didn't even take out his lighter. He just flicked his fingers and a flame rose, instantly igniting the ground rat. He then threw the cigarette into the bamboo rat hole.
Xue Chuchu witnessed it with her own eyes and was puzzled as to how Jiang Ning had created the fire.
After Jiang Ning lost the ground rat, it was of course difficult to scare away the bamboo rat with just the ground rat. His trump card was yet to come.
Jiang Ning mobilized his magic power and transformed himself into an invisible little spiritual hand. He drilled into the bamboo rat hole and grabbed the frightened bamboo rat.
Xue Yuantong squatted on the ground and saw the "rat" running around recklessly at the entrance of the hole. She shouted excitedly: "The rat is out for the festival!"
The bamboo rat, with its throat strangled, was forcibly pulled out of its nest. In order to simulate the real escape effect, the spiritual hand separated into several tentacles to control the bamboo rat's four legs to crawl.
Then, what appeared in front of the three people was the scene of bamboo rats fleeing frantically.
"Catch it quickly!" Xue Chuchu couldn't control her nervousness, fearing that the bamboo rat would run away and all her efforts would be wasted.
At this time, Jiang Ning, who was guarding the slope, withdrew his spiritual power.
He reached out and pinched the bamboo rat's tail, then pulled it up. An upside-down bamboo rat appeared in front of the three people.
"Wow!" Xue Yuantong was so excited that the amplitude of his excited movements was even greater than that of the captured bamboo rat.
The bamboo rat opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and continuously making hissing sounds, looking somewhat ferocious like a wild animal.
"Be careful, it will bite you." Xue Chuchu reminded.
Jiang Ning straightened his arms, picked up the bamboo rat, and laughed, "It's okay. It's too fat and can't turn over to bite me."
Xue Yuantong said nearby: "I saw people grabbing bamboo rats by the scruff of the neck on TV."
The mouse looked furry, and she wanted to catch it.
Xue Chuchu: "No, that way I can flip over and bite you."
The three of them looked at the fierce bamboo rat for a while. Jiang Ning said, "It's about three kilograms."
Xue Yuantong: "Not small anymore."
Xue Chuchu: "What should I stir-fry with it?"
Jiang Ning: "Bamboo shoots, I have some at home."
The taste of wild bamboo rats is quite good. When combined with the fresh bamboo shoots he got from Huqi Mountain, stir-fry them in an earthen pot with onions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine, and then sprinkled with spices, the taste can be improved by several levels.
Xue Yuantong was almost drooling just thinking about it, and ordered to return home.
……
The way home is beautiful, and the moon seems to be brighter.
They passed by the farm house when they came, and they passed by the farm house again when they returned. The difference was that Jiang Ning had a chubby bamboo rat in his hand.
"Fuck, did you really catch him?" Lin Zida was dumbfounded.
His words attracted the attention of his companions in front of the campfire. They all looked over and discovered the bamboo rat in Jiang Ning's hand.
"Just caught?" Zhuang Jianhui asked.
Jiang Ning shook the bamboo rat, and fresh soil fell off: "Yes."
Wang Yong, who was joining the crowd, said enviously: "You are in for a treat, there are very few wild ones now."
The other strangers, some looked at the bamboo rat, some looked at Xue Chuchu, and some looked at Jiang Ning.
Wei Zishan leaned closer. She liked to raise snakes, so she was not afraid of the hissing bamboo rat. She was even curious: "Is it male or female?"
As she spoke, she flicked the bamboo rat with her finger, and ended up being kicked by the rat.
Wei Zishan immediately pretended to be weak and said, "Ah, I was caught by a bamboo rat. I'm done. I got the virus~"
Xue Yuantong was secretly dissatisfied.
Xue Chuchu didn't show any reaction, but kept an eye on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning: "Then you have to go to the hospital quickly. If you go too late, you will recover."
Lin Zida laughed out loud.
Wei Zishan couldn't act anymore.
Jiang Ning didn't stay for long, turned around and left, going home to deal with the bamboo rats. Tongtong and Chuchu had not had dinner yet.
When Teacher Qian saw the rat in their hands, he was shocked at first: "Did you really catch it?"
Xue Yuantong: "It's fake, fake, an illusion!"
Teacher Qian looked at me with disdain, and asked, "Do you think I'm blind?"
However, he had already eaten his fill, and tonight was the Lantern Festival. He was now in poetic mode, so he immediately suggested, "Hey, with the beautiful scenery of the Lantern Festival, how can we not guess lantern riddles?"
Before he could finish his words, Xue Yuantong followed Jiang Ning into the house.
Teacher Qian: “…”
Lonely, lonely, so lonely!
Suddenly, a car came from the east. It turned out to be Xingxing, who had not returned home yet. He was pulling a four-wheeled cart and coming to the west to pick up guests for the farm stay.
The lonely Mr. Qian was unable to express his talent, so he took out two pieces of beef jerky and shouted, "Xingzi, eat something."
Xingxing came by car.
Teacher Qian said, "Let me test you. 'The phoenix feathers are beautiful, but what will they become when they fall to the ground?' Guess the two-word riddle. If you can guess it..."
Xingxing, who was severely oppressed by life, had already lost hope. He didn't even listen to the answer and just said:
"Guess the chicken feather!"
Teacher Qian was shocked. He held Xingxing's shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "Genius, you are a genius!"
Xingxing looked at the crazy Teacher Qian and was terrified. Heba was so scary! He wanted to go home so much!
……
Next to the farmhouse bonfire.
"It's bamboo rat, it's okay, it tastes like rabbit meat, but not as tough as rabbit meat." The man said in a light tone, not taking it seriously.
Wang Yong was secretly excited when he learned that his son would be admitted to Class 8 in the future. His grandfather often said, "The three great things in life are: having fought together, studying together, and... "
Class Eight is clearly divided into factions, and there is still a year and a half left in high school. By then, this kid will definitely make friends with him, and he will probably be a greater help to Wang Yong than Zhuang Jianhui.
Wang Yong agreed immediately: "Yes, I asked Boss Yang to stew a local chicken today, it will definitely have a different flavor!"
The man said again: "What a pity, Shuyan is not here."
When mentioning her name, Zhuang Jianhui said with a melancholy tone: "Maybe she doesn't like Heba."
