I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 146 What a strange request
"Sister Xu, Dahei is hated by the villagers. Can you help him?"

Yaya's face was wrinkled like a bun, and she looked worried.

"The villagers all said that Dahei was stealing chickens. When they saw Dahei passing by their homes, they chased him away. Now Dahei can't even stroll around the village happily."

Xu Ying and Yaya were sitting at the door of Aunt Bao's house. At this moment, the villagers came to visit Aunt Bao with bags in their hands. When they heard what Yaya said, their faces turned red.

Aunt Li took the lead and said, "Ya Ya, Stationmaster Xu has helped Da Hei resolve the misunderstanding. Uncle and Auntie are here today to apologize."

Facing the children, the adults felt even more guilty. They put down the things they had in their hands in front of Yaya's house. There were chickens, fruits, cured beef, cured mutton...

Yaya was surprised when she saw the gifts in the villagers' hands. Why did the villagers who had not interacted with them for a while suddenly become so nice to her family?

Yaya blinked her round, deer-like eyes and cast her gaze on Xu Ying. "Sister Xu, was it you who helped?"

Xu Ying finished telling the story of the two goats being kidnapped with a smile, and Yaya immediately understood. Sister Xu helped prove their family's innocence by communicating with the little animals.

Yaya couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister, you are so nice, you are even better than what they say on TV!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Children's words are always the most sincere, and Xu Ying felt embarrassed by the praise.

Yaya waved her hands and called out to the villagers: "Everyone come in and sit down, my grandma is busy cooking."

The villagers felt embarrassed to come in because people were having dinner and it was not appropriate for them to sit in someone else's house.

"No, no, we're here just to hear what Station Master Xu has to say about termite control."

termite?

When Yaya heard that Stationmaster Xu wanted to help get rid of termites, her eyes lit up like little light bulbs. Yangyang, who was doing homework nearby, also looked over curiously.

These little bugs gave them a real headache! They had to sleep in tents, and the house was full of sawdust.

"I came to your house this time to take some photos of the termite infestation. Do you know which areas of your house are most likely to harbor termites?"

Yaya nodded vigorously: "I know, I know!"

She turned to Yangyang and said, "Brother, come and help."

Yangyang immediately put down his pen and came over.

Xu Ying picked up the airline box at his feet. The hedgehog was curled up into a small ball of thorns and yawning in the airline box, just like a large sea urchin.

"Wake up, little hedgehog! It's your turn to see the house!"

Xu Ying patiently coaxed her: "There are so many termites here~"

The hedgehog's sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide. "Where is it? Where is it?"
As it spoke, its nose moved and it sniffed around: "I can smell it! It's the aroma of formic acid!"
"Expert!"

Xu Ying pointed at Yaya and Yangyang to Big Ear Hedgehog and said, "These two kids are the owners of the house you're showing me."

In fact, Yaya and Yangyang were curious about the airline box that Xu Ying was carrying as soon as she entered the door. When they saw a hedgehog with big ears in the airline box, they opened their mouths in surprise.

"It's so cute! Its ears are like two soft marshmallows~"

"Their thorns are not as scary as I imagined." The timid and socially anxious hedgehog was worried that the owner of the house would be afraid of it. After all, it is covered with thorns and is quite scary.

Seeing the two little humans praising it for being cute, the hedgehog felt embarrassed and retreated to the corner of the airline box.

Xu Ying smiled and explained to the two children, "You guys are praising it so much that it feels bad."

"This hedgehog with big ears is called a big-eared hedgehog. They are rather timid and afraid of light. They hide during the day and come out at night, so they are just getting up now."

"Termites are one of its food. Take it to find the termites."

With the help of two excited children, Xu Ying quickly took photos, videos and a text description of the termite situation in the house and sent them to the termite control expert recommended by Feng Yun.

While looking at the house, the hedgehog had slowly adapted to the environment and now lay on Xu Ying's shoulder: "How are you, little hedgehog? Is this food reserve enough for you guys?"

[That’s enough, but I don’t know if they will allow us to live here.]
The big-eared hedgehog rubbed Xu Ying's shoulder with its little paws nervously.

"don’t worry."

Xu Ying tapped its nose and said, "I'll help you communicate. Although it's impossible for all the villagers to accept it, there will always be someone who will."

The villagers were all standing by Yaya's door. Seeing Xu Ying had already looked around Bao Sufen's house, they hurriedly asked, "Stationmaster Xu, how do we get rid of these termites?"

Xu Ying smiled and shared what he knew with the villagers: "Xizhou Province has a subsidy policy for dilapidated houses. You can apply for dilapidated house renovation. Even if the houses are not dilapidated, it doesn't cost tens of thousands to repair them."

When everyone heard this, they were curious and expectant: "Really?"

Xu Ying nodded vigorously. "Really? And this treatment method doesn't require the use of chemicals. It won't cause any adverse effects on the human body, and children won't be easily ingested or touched by mistake."

"But you have to accept these professional termite extermination technicians living in your home. You don't need to provide them with food, just shelter. And they have to provide accommodation for the winter."

This request sounds strange.

The fee is not expensive, but the requirement is not to provide food and accommodation, just accommodation.

The villagers looked at each other.

Someone said, "It's just that our house is shabby. Would the technicians be willing to live here for a long time? Would they find our accommodation conditions poor?"

"No, they just want a little nest in the house to avoid the cold."

Xu Ying pointed at the big-eared hedgehog on his shoulder and said, "This is the professional ant exterminator I told you about."

The villagers were dumbfounded when they saw the hedgehog on Xu Ying's shoulder.

Xu Ying: "I've made a deal with the hedgehogs. You guys build them a warm nest for the winter, and they'll help you eat termites. If you're interested, sign up here."

"As for how much this termite control method costs, I'll tell you the price after I calculate the costs of dispatching the small animals, relocating them, and so on. Anyway, it won't be too expensive. Spreading the cost across a village, each household will probably spend no more than 5,000 yuan, and that's on the higher end of the scale."

The villagers, who were originally surprised, were very tempted after hearing the price.

Now that the weather is getting colder, termites will not be as active after winter, and many ant colonies will go into hibernation.

But the villagers dared not slack off.

After winter comes spring, the season when all things come back to life. When the termite army recovers and becomes active and begins to mate and reproduce, the horror is so terrifying that it is hard to imagine!
