In all his past and present lives combined, this was the first time that Tian Xiaoman saw naked expectation in the eyes of a mouse.

Tian Xiaoman even felt that she could clearly see the mouse opposite swallowing its saliva.

She shook the sweet potato in her hand. "So what are you waiting for? Your delicious meal is here. Let's eat!"

Although the fat mouse looks round, it is actually quite fast. To use a modern phrase to describe it - it is a nimble fat man.

As soon as Tian Xiaoman finished speaking, the fat mouse came in front of Tian Xiaoman, opened its mouth and started to bite the sweet potato.

Tian Xiaoman patted the dirt on his hands, then found a stone against the courtyard wall and sat down.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the man and the mouse was extremely harmonious.

After eating a sweet potato, the fat mouse stopped contentedly, came to Tian Xiaoman again, sat there with his arms and legs spread out, with his round belly facing upwards, looking naive and quite funny.

"I didn't realize you're such a big eater!"

"Of course, human, don't you think about it? I've been hungry for two days. Now that I have food, can I not eat a little more? In previous years, your village had a good harvest, and we could eat something good at this time of year. But this year, the harvest in the fields is not as good as expected, and every household is very careful about food. Where can we get a full meal? Alas, you humans really don't understand the sorrow of rats."

Tian Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, "So you can't get any food at all? Aren't you the Rat King? What will happen to your little brothers if you can't even feed them?"

Speaking of this, Fat Mouse's mood became a little low. "It's not that I can't get it, but I have so many brothers under me. I can't just eat my fill while they starve! We are all brothers, we share happiness and hardships together!"

Tian Xiaoman: I never realized that you are such a loyal mouse.

"Alright, alright, you fat rat, you're still pretending to be nice. What? One sweet potato is enough for you? You don't want to eat the other one? If you don't want to eat it, I have to take it back. Don't waste food."

"That won't do!"

When the fat mouse heard that Tian Xiaoman was going to take the remaining sweet potato back, he became unhappy and jumped up immediately.

However, because it ate too much and had a fat belly, when it jumped up, its belly hit the ground first. It rolled twice before finally stopping.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, you human, you have no moral integrity. I told you it was given to me, why are you taking it back? Although I can't eat it now, I can save it for tomorrow. At worst, I can call my little mouse brothers over and let them share the benefits with me."

With a "puchi" sound, Tian Xiaoman laughed.

"You're always thinking about your little rat brothers!"

"That's right! To be honest, if I say go east, my little rat brothers will never go west. If I say go south, my little rat brothers will never go north."

"Okay, stop being so joking. Have you found out what I asked you to find out? I'm telling you, my sweet potatoes are not eaten for free. If you eat my sweet potatoes and don't come up with any useful information, I won't allow it. Then we won't have a next time. Also, don't think about that sweet potato on the ground."

"Please don't do that! You human, you are too impatient."

The fat mouse was afraid that Tian Xiaoman would take the sweet potato back, so he immediately ran to the sweet potato and protected it behind him like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Don't worry, I've already got the news for you."

"Really?"

Tian Xiaoman's eyes showed a hint of suspicion, "In such a short time, you have been able to find out what happened in the county? I'm afraid you made up some news to fool me? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you fat rat, you are very bad!"

"Who's broken?"

The fat mouse stared at Tian Xiaoman with its round eyes and bared its teeth.

"I am the Rat King of Tianjia Village. You can question my ability, but you cannot question my character."

Tian Xiaoman smiled and said, "Oh, I'll believe you for now. Tell me quickly, what's the news?"

"The third uncle of the niece of the aunt of my little brother's second uncle is a traitor in the county town. He knows everything in the county town, big or small.

You are lucky as a human being. It is going back to its hometown to retire these days and is passing by Tianjia Village. It is visiting us. When I asked about it, it told me.

There are many pharmacies in Pinglin County, but most of them have regular sources of medicinal materials. They won't accept them from retail merchants. However, there are several pharmacies in the east of the city. They usually accept all kinds of medicinal materials sent by people in the mountains, both prepared and unprepared. Of course, the prices of medicinal materials in the pharmacies are different. Among them, the price of Su Ji Pharmacy is the most fair. If you want to sell medicinal materials, you can go to Su Ji Pharmacy."

Su Kee Pharmacy?

Tian Xiaoman felt that the name sounded familiar, and then she remembered that her third grandfather had mentioned a few days ago that Su’s Pharmacy sold a scar-removing ointment that could just remove the scar on her forehead.

Thinking of the scar on his forehead, Tian Xiaoman gently touched the scabbed wound with his hand. Alas, it has only been a few days and he already feels the scab is a little itchy. He is afraid that new flesh is growing.

It just so happens that I’m going to sell ginseng this time, so I must talk to my dad and ask him to buy that scar-removing ointment.

Although, she is not one who cares that much about her appearance, so maybe it is better not to have a scar.

"Okay, I know what you said. Thank you this time! By the way, do you have a proper name? I can't just call you Fat Rat from now on, can I?"

"Name? We mice don't have names."

"How about I call you Fat Gray from now on?"

The fat mouse glanced at his round belly and complained in his heart.

This human, is he really ill? How can he look fat? He is the most majestic and powerful mouse in Tianjia Village. Tsk tsk tsk, humans really have no vision. For mice, being fat is a sign of ability! "

"All right then, Fat Gray is Fat Gray!"

Fat Hui quickly rolled and pulled the remaining sweet potato and moved it to the weeds in the corner of the backyard.

Tian Xiaoman could see clearly that hidden under the weeds, there was a hole the size of an adult's fist.

Tian Xiaoman: Uh - maybe I should talk to my dad and have him check my house carefully. Why are there rat holes everywhere?

Just when Tian Xiaoman thought that Pang Hui was going to crawl into the rat hole, Pang Hui actually ran to Tian Xiaoman at the fastest speed.

Fat Gray was about to speak, "Human—I—"

Tian Xiaoman immediately corrected, "My name is Tian Xiaoman - you can call me Xiaoman."

"Human, okay, Xiaoman, if you need any information in the future, be sure to look for me. The information I have is honest and can be exchanged for food. But next time, can we negotiate and not give me sweet potatoes? I have been craving for white rice for a long time. At worst, sorghum or millet will do!"

Tian Xiaoman rolled his eyes. Bai Mi? Are you dreaming?

I guess even if you dig three feet deep in my house, you still can’t find two kilograms of rice.

However, next time if I really need some information, it’s not impossible to trade with Fat Gray.

"Then how can I find you?"
