Lu Dagang and his family returned to their shack.

The whole family knew that there was meat in the food distributed by the military today.

"Tsk, you're showing off by eating such a small amount of meat." Lu Dagang's wife Cui sat down on the bedding and carefully checked her son's injuries.

Looking at Lu Dagang's buttocks being beaten up, Cui felt distressed: "Oh, my poor son."

"Second wife, please cook more meat today." Cui was the eldest wife in the family, and the two old people liked this eldest daughter-in-law the most when they were alive.

The first wife of the Lu family gave birth to three children, which made Cui stand tall wherever she went. It seemed that in this society, those who could give birth to boys were capable.

She gave birth to three children at once, which shows how capable she is.

Miao was rummaging in the backpack and finally took out a piece of meat. She saw four or five mice underneath. Each mouse was holding a piece of red venison in its hand and looking at Miao.

One man and five rats looked at each other. Miao screamed first, then started looking for something to catch the rat: "Big brother, second brother, there are rats in the house."

When they heard the mouse, everyone stood up, picked up their tools and started catching them. After working for a long time, the whole family only caught one mouse.

Cui picked up the meat from the top layer of the basket and took a look.

There was a hole in the bottom of the backpack bitten by a mouse, so there was no meat underneath, only the bare deer skeleton.

The mouse is smart, knowing how to eat from the bottom, leaving the surface unnoticeable.

"This damn rat, I'll catch it and kill your whole family." Cui cursed a few more times viciously, and the whole family began to look for the rat again.

..........

Taking advantage of the good weather today, Xu Wenyan mixed the sand and gravel that Chen Sanlin and his team brought back yesterday.

We can start building the house today. We will need the help of ropes to assist in building the house horizontally.

Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoliu took the hemp rope and started to pull the thread. After making sure it was straight, they nailed the sharpened wooden sticks inside. Chen Xingjie came to help today, and Wang Dongmei came along to look after the children.

Anyway, I feel bored staying at home, so I want to go out and walk more.

There are six people in total, and they can start building from three walls at the same time.

There must be gaps between the bricks on the bottom layer, which need to be filled with mud and sand. This pair of tweezers was made by Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin last night using wood. Although it is not as useful as iron ones, it is okay.

Use tweezers to apply a ball of sand to the bottom of the brick, and then build the gaps below alternately. This staggered approach will make it more stable.

This is not a difficult task, as long as you don't make it too crooked.

Since the beginning of spring, the sun has been getting hotter and hotter. After working for more than an hour, Xu Wenyan could see the sweat on Chen Sanlin's head like running water.

Xu Wenyan himself does not like to sweat, and every time he sees the men in his family sweating, he thinks it is too exaggerated. He gets up and goes back to the house to make some mint water and brings it out.

"Let's all take a break." After taking a sip of mint water, the cool feeling lingered in the mouth for a long time. As soon as I inhaled, my whole mouth, including my nose, felt cool.

"Xu Wenyan."

A voice came from the side. It was Ermazi coming: "Something happened in the field. The villagers saw a lot of mice. The edge of the sweet potato field was full of small sweet potatoes dug out by mice."

The annoying thing is that these mice don’t just stay to eat one sweet potato at a time. They take two bites of each sweet potato and then throw it aside and continue digging.

The most important thing is that it’s not just one field, traces of rats can be seen in almost all the land.

When there was a problem, the villagers all went to the military tent to find Er Mazi. He said there was no problem leading the troops to fight, but when it came to catching mice, he had no idea at all.

"Well, it's really a troublesome thing." Rats are always a disaster. If they are not controlled early and allowed to multiply, they may cause plague.

Don’t underestimate these little guys. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by rats.

Rats are virus carriers and carry a variety of infectious diseases, such as plague, leptospirosis, rabies, etc.

At the same time, mice are also infested with parasites such as roundworms, toxoplasma, hookworms, etc., which can also parasitize in the human body.

Xu Wenyan gave the others a few instructions and followed Ermaizi into the fields.

From a distance you can see several men running back and forth in the field, most likely catching mice.

Looking at the tender sweet potatoes on the ground, Xu Wenyan also felt distressed.

Looking to the side, you can see a few people carrying baskets and picking up the tender sweet potatoes that have been eaten by mice.

Xu Wenyan walked over and said, "It's better not to eat these sweet potatoes. You might get sick if you eat them."

"Sick? What kind of illness? These are food, they are wasted." The villagers don't care about that. Although sweet potatoes are not as big as potatoes, they are still food after all, and no one wants to waste them.

Xu Wenyan shook his head helplessly and had to tell Ermazi: "Please spread the word that things that rats have eaten are really not edible."

Then, walking along the edge of the field, you can see dense rat tracks on the edge. Just thinking about it makes Xu Wenyan's scalp tingle.

Look at how densely populated the area is.

"We caught him!" Following a few shouts from afar, many villagers gathered over.

Xu Wenyan also walked over to take a look, and saw a man holding an unexpectedly large mouse in his hand, which the man could not even hold with one hand.

"Oh, your family is in for a treat today." The villagers looked at the big fat rat with envy.

"You can't eat it." Xu Wenyan squeezed in: "It's better not to eat this rat. This kind of thing is the dirtiest."

The villagers all looked at Xu Wenyan at the same time: "Captain Xu, you can't eat these seeds. Look how fat they are."

For the safety of himself and his family, Xu Wenyan could only remind them again: "This mouse has worms in its body. Several people in our village died after eating mice. This thing really can't be eaten."

As for dying from eating it, it is not made up. It is indeed very likely that you will be infected with a virus after eating it, and die of dehydration due to vomiting. If you are unlucky, you will be infected with parasites, and you will feel uncomfortable for a long time.

If you are lucky, you can excrete the roundworm when you defecate. If you are unlucky, the roundworm will go into your brain and you won't even feel it.

Xu Wenyan still remembers a news report about a woman who ate raw and marinated seafood. Afterwards, she felt something was wrong with her body but she didn't know what was wrong.

It was not until a full body check-up that we saw on the film that most of the woman's head had been eaten by worms, and through X-rays we could see many worms twisting back and forth in her brain.

This is also the reason why foreigners have short lifespans. They like to eat raw food, raw beef, raw pork, sashimi and the like, which are their favorite foods.

It is said that there are also raw pork burgers. Xu Wenyan feels sick just thinking about it.

Hearing Xu Wenyan say this, the villagers panicked.

After all, it has killed people!
