The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 153 The Golden Rat
Instead of calling for the adults at home, Xiao Ayu grabbed Wang Wulang who was standing next to her.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, let's go catch it—"

The name of the Spirit Rat was hard to pronounce; Xiao Ayu tried calling it for a long time but couldn't get it right.

Liu called out from afar, "Ayu, you've gotten your clothes dirty, go change."

When we go out, I always pack a change of clothes for Xiao Ayu, just in case she gets dirty by accident.

Little Ayu waved her hand and replied loudly, "I know, Mother, I'll go change in a bit!"

Wang Wulang, still clutching weeds in his hand, said, "What are you catching? I haven't finished pulling all the weeds in the yard. If Grandma sees this, she'll definitely scold me again."

Little Ayu said, "Grandma doesn't swear!"

"That means they won't scold you." Wang Wulang was speechless for a moment.

In the end, he couldn't resist Xiao Ayu's insistence and was dragged along by her to find something.

The two finally squatted down next to a rat hole. Looking at the fist-sized rat hole, Wang Wulang wanted to roll his eyes.

“Ayu, although I know that in your heart, Fifth Brother is a very capable person, but once a mouse has crawled into its hole, there’s really no way I can catch it.” Wang Wulang pleaded earnestly.

Sister Ayu suddenly had a whim and actually wanted to catch mice.

Such a dirty thing.

Little Ayu shook her head: "No."

"Not what?"

"Fifth Brother isn't that great in my eyes," Little Ayu said sincerely, patting her little chest. "Mr. Chi is the most powerful!"

Mr. Chi can fly; he can jump onto such a high rooftop in no time.

Wang Wulang: "..." You don't actually need to explain.

Wang Sanlang passed by and saw the two people squatting by the mouse hole, so he asked them what they were doing.

Wang Wulang said it.

"What's wrong with you as the older brother? If your sister wants something, just find it for her!" Wang Sanlang rolled up his sleeves, put down what he was doing, and turned around to find a long, dry branch.

He said to Xiao Ayu, "Your fifth brother is no good, so you should come and see your third brother instead. Your third brother will catch this rat for you in a little while!"

Little Ayu smiled so hard her eyes crinkled: "Okay, okay, thank you, Third Brother! Third Brother is the best!"

Wang Sanlang was so flattered by his sister's sweet praise that he immediately thought, "I absolutely cannot lose face today; I must find that mouse."

So he took the dry branch and started poking around, but after a long time he found nothing.

Wang Wulang, standing to the side, clutched his stomach and laughed loudly: "Wang Sanlang, you're no good either. What are you talking about? You're making me laugh to death."

Because the laughter was so exaggerated, it attracted several more brothers, and eventually a group of people gathered around the mouse hole.

They tried pouring water into it and then lit dry branches with a flint to smoke it out.

The mischievous Wang Liulang was still lying by the hole, yelling loudly, trying to scare the rat out.

Of course, no one was able to get the rat out.

On the contrary, Wang Chuanman saw the children making a fuss for a long time, and only after looking closely did he realize that they were looking for mice.

Wang Chuanman laughed and said, "If you want to find rats, there are actually two ways. The first is to put a piece of meat near the rat hole, preferably the kind of cooked meat that has been flavored."

They rejected this idea entirely; they didn't have any meat at home, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare use it to tease the mice.

"Fourth Uncle, what's another way?" Wang Wulang asked impatiently.

"Another simple way is to put in some effort, find a hoe, and slowly dig along this hole. The rat will be hiding inside."

Wang Chuanman added with a smile, "In the past, when we were really struggling to make ends meet, we would go to the mountains to dig mouse holes. Mouse holes are not as deep as snake holes, nor do they have multiple exits like rabbit holes, so you can just dig along the entrance of the hole."

There were no hoes in the house; it's unclear whether the original owner had taken them or the residents had never used them.

Finally, they borrowed two hoes from their neighbor. Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang were in charge of digging, while the other boys stood guard, ready to catch the rat as soon as it appeared. Little Ayu also watched eagerly, just waiting for the rat to come out.

Although this method was clumsy, it was very effective. After digging for about 15 minutes, they heard a squeaking sound.

"It really is here!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone became excited and dug even harder, not even caring that their hands were getting sore.

Finally, after digging to the very end, they saw a golden shadow moving inside the hole.

Seeing that it had nowhere to hide, the creature inside quickly darted out.

"Grab it, grab it."

"Don't let it get away again!"

"Quickly, quickly, block them on the left!"

The Wang family children were running around, and the Spirit-Testing Rat was terrified by the commotion. In the end, it simply ran off towards Xiao Ayu.

It plunged headfirst into Xiao Ayu's arms and even burrowed into her clothes.

Little Ayu grabbed the tail of the Spirit-Testing Rat.

"Be careful, rats can bite!" Everyone's hearts were in their throats when they saw Xiao Ayu catch the rat.

Sister Ayu is too fierce! That's a rat! The pain from its bite is secondary; the wound will fester.

【Baby, put it in your spatial storage first, then take it out immediately】

Almost instantly, Xiao Ayu put the Spirit-Testing Rat into her spatial storage, and then immediately took it out again.

After entering the space, the Spirit-Testing Rat was automatically recognized as its master and now lies obediently in Xiao Ayu's arms, even showing a bit of flattery.

With Tuanzi's help, Xiao Ayu moved quickly. The Wang family members only felt that the spirit-testing rat seemed to flash by.

But upon closer inspection, they were still safely with Sister Ayu. It must have been that the sun was too bright and their eyes were blurred, causing them to mistake one for another.

"We caught it! You brothers are so amazing!" Little Ayu praised her brothers without any reservations, holding the Spirit-Testing Rat in her arms.

Everyone crowded around to take a look and discovered that this mouse looked very different.

Its fur was all golden, even its claws were translucent gold.

Only its eyes were black and shiny, its tail was short, and its fur was soft rather than stiff.

"Wow, this mouse is golden!"

Wang Wulang suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Could we take his fur and melt it down into gold?"

Little Ayu didn't know what the mouse did either, so she asked Tuanzi in her mind.

This is a Spirit-Detecting Rat. It can find treasures, but it has very poor self-care abilities and is very easy to die.

With this Treasure-Testing Mouse, your treasure hunts will be much more convenient.

Little Ayu opened her mouth wide: "Can we go treasure hunting? What kind of treasure can we find?"

It depends on what it can find. Look, it just found your fruit.

The Wang family children didn't know what the fruit's effects were, but the Spirit Rat knew, which is why they came to steal it.

When the adults saw the children making a fuss, they all laughed and shook their heads, thinking that they had just caught an ordinary mouse.

When Xiao Ayu brought the Spirit-Testing Rat over to show them, the Wang family was astonished.

Why does this mouse look so different?

Grandma Wang asked calmly, "Ayu, where did you find her?"
