After I Picked Up the Immortal Bottle

When I came to the mountain where the chickens and ducks were raised, I could see the villagers of Lijiaji digging bamboo rats everywhere, cursing came from time to time, and everyone's face was full of anger.

There are chicks and ducklings looking for food all over the mountains and plains. From time to time, a few big ones shuttle in groups to snatch the delicious food of these little guys.

The chicks and ducklings, forgetting the horrific killing of last night, are all pecking.

"Brother Xiao Zhe." A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over with a small shovel, sniffed his nose and said aggrievedly: "Brother Xiao Zhe, my Xiaobai was bitten to death..."

Li Zhe saw that in his basket, there was a dead duck with its head missing. This should be the masterpiece of a weasel.

There was a circle of white fluff on the duck's neck, and Li Zhe couldn't help being angry when he saw it. He patted the little boy's head and said, "Don't be angry, Tie Dan, brother will avenge you."

"Yeah!" Tie Dan said with red eyes, "Today I want to eat three bamboo rats, my mother said so!"

This unique way of retaliation is rather sharp, Li Zhe smiled slightly, watching Tie Dan go to dig bamboo rats with a small shovel and a basket, it looks like digging your ancestral grave.

"God damn beast!" Uncle Gensheng was roaring, in front of him were dozens of chicken and duck cubs that had been killed, some were eaten to pieces, and some were completely killed by beasts.

Hundreds of them died overnight, which is conservative.

"Xiao Zhe, take a look, isn't this a disaster? God damn it, I'll admit to eating the big ones, but they are so small, and they deliberately killed so many and keep them!"

It's not good to be angry at the uncle, these are all their wealth, and they have been harmed at such a young age, how can he not be angry? The villagers are naturally very protective of their assets.

"Dig, dig it out and braise it in soy sauce!" The brat following Uncle Gensheng was carrying a hoe with a serious look on his face.

"Are these bamboo rats crazy? Why don't they eat sweet potatoes, grass roots, bamboo roots, steal some grain or seeds, and eat chickens and ducks?"

When Li Jianjun saw Li Zhe coming, he asked curiously. He didn't know anything now, but when he saw Li Zhe, he would ask. Li Zhe knew a lot.

"This group of things should have been moved in winter. Our village is relatively warm. There are wind fences around these chickens and ducks, and we feed too much food. They can eat whatever they want. Big chickens and ducks don't care about them. Dare to move, chickens and ducks don’t lay eggs in winter, and there are no eggs to eat. Now, it is estimated that a batch of chickens and ducks have been brought in to change their taste.”

Li Zhe explained briefly. In fact, he knew that this was not the case at all, but the Lingquan. The Lingquan attracted these beasts. The chicks and ducks who ate the food from the Lingquan made them very interested. .

Just like a great tonic, they had a killing feast last night.

"A bunch of beasts!" Li Zhe was also very angry. If Hai Dongqing could catch some at night, it was too big.

"The big guy ran away!" A villager suddenly yelled, a gray shadow flashed, and went into a hole, and the villager with a shovel shot away.

"You idiot!" A woman next to him kicked the man angrily.

Li Zhe walked over, looked at the entrance of the hole, and cursed: "Such a big rat hole, these beasts are very moist here, bring a shovel!"

It was obviously a mountain mouse just now, but its size was comparable to a small rabbit. Although its speed was fast, it was not as fast as Li Zhe's eyes.

"This is a mountain mouse hole. I thought there were only two holes, but who knew that this beast made three holes."

The villager who ran away from the mountain mouse smiled and handed the shovel to Li Zhe and said, "Little Zhe, try it. The mountain mouse's holes are only one size deep, and they usually dig holes in a straight line. The other two holes have just been blocked. If one destroys the other, you just need to dig down this one, and you won’t be able to escape.”

The villagers have a lot of experience with these animals in the mountains.

In the past, the older generation lacked food, so they ate tree bark and dug tree roots. Naturally, the bamboo rats and mountain rats in the mountains are delicious. These things have saved many people. No matter they are young or old, they all catch mountain rats and bamboo rats. master.

Li Zhe nodded and said, "Uncle, watch for me, let me see if it's easy to dig."

"Wow, woof, woof!" As soon as Li Zhe made a move, the big yellow dog came running up wagging its tail, and stretched its head into the hole without hesitation.

"Go away, don't make trouble." Li Zhe kicked this dog who likes to join in the fun, and the big yellow dog was not angry, and stared at the side wagging its tail.

Dahei and Baishi also followed. Dahei used to be afraid of people in the village, but he got used to it later. Even if he touches the Tibetan mastiff on weekdays, he doesn't have to worry about the Tibetan mastiff turning his eyes.

But the white lion is bigger than the Tibetan mastiff. Uncle Gensheng couldn't help but move away from it, looked at the white lion and said, "Xiao Zhe has seen this lion more than ten times, and every time I see it, I feel panicked."

Naturally panicked, it seemed that one bite could kill him, and no one felt safe.

"Stay away, don't be scary." Li Zhe reached out and patted the white lion that was approaching. The white lion was very docile. Hearing this, he wagged his tail and took a few steps back, then lay down to show that he was obedient.

After digging for more than a dozen times, I heard the slight squawking of rats, and found tiny bloody hairs of chicken cubs in the rat's path. Li Zhe couldn't help but get angry when he saw it.

"Two, not one, came out!" Hearing the movement, Li Zhe raised the shovel, and a gray shadow rushed out first. Just as Li Zhe was about to slap him to death, the big yellow dog rushed up and held down the big mountain mouse with one paw.

And the other, screaming frantically, kept shrinking back, but the back was also blocked.

"Such a big mountain mouse, kill it!" Li Jianjun swung the shovel in his hand and slapped it down. The big mountain mouse, which was like a wild rabbit, was directly knocked over, struggled and convulsed, and was slapped down by Li Jianjun with the shovel, and it was directly slapped to death.

"So much food, fuck it!" Li Jianjun dragged it out with a shovel, and when he saw the food inside, he cursed angrily. Among the messy broken grass, there were all kinds of grains, grass roots, peanut shells, and some The remains of a duckling.

Dahei leaned over, flipped over the dead mountain mouse with his paws, and retracted it feeling bored.

"There are three catties, why is it so big?" Uncle Gensheng was a little puzzled when he mentioned the mountain rats. The mountain rats and bamboo rats here are much bigger than the ones they have seen before.

Li Zhe understood the reason, put down the shovel and said, "Jianjun, come with me, you go and drive your car."

"Ah? Oh oh oh!" Li Jianjun threw down the shovel, wiped his hands and followed, Li Zhe can do whatever Li Zhe asks him to do, there is no need to think about it.

Li Jianjun's car was off-road and the mountain road was convenient, so he rushed over quickly and took Li Zhe straight to Baiyang Village.

Li Jiaji's name is now well-known in the surrounding villages, and Li Zhe's reputation is even greater. Many people envy Li Jiaji as a capable person who leads the village to become rich.

The threshold for young men in the village has been broken, and every household has a minimum of one million yuan a year. Compared with others, what can tens of thousands of yuan a year be compared to?

It's not enough for people to pay a welfare.

When they came to Baiyang Village, Li Jianjun took Li Zhe straight to the village branch brigade of Baiyang Village.

Baiyang Village is very poor. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, but Baiyang Village can't even repair roads. How can you get rich? Stone walls and mud-brick houses from long ago can be seen everywhere in the village.

Seeing a car coming, everyone looked curiously.

The brigade is a private house, it should have been built for several years, and it is still quite new, but after Li Zhe entered, there were only a few people inside.

The old man sitting there cleaning his glasses saw Li Zhe, his eyes lit up and said, "Isn't this the little Zhe from Li Jiaji? Why did you come here? Sit down."

The old village head in his sixties, who can only be seen in these backward villages, greeted him warmly.

The middle-aged woman who was collecting utility bills looked up and said curiously, "That's true."

Li Zhe and the old village head were polite, sat down with a smile and said, "Are you busy?"

"What are you busy with?" The old village chief shook his head: "We charge electricity and water bills. Hey, it's not easy to charge ten or eight yuan. In Baiyang Village, there are fewer and fewer people, and they all go out to start businesses and work."

Those who stay in the village are all farmers, and the young people have almost left. Many mountain villages are like this. If Li Zhe was not in Lijiaji, it would not be better than here.

"Hey, it's Li Zhe. What's the matter with you coming to our Baiyang Village? I'm Qin Lingling's mother, and you were classmates when you were young."

The middle-aged woman who was paying the electricity bill asked enthusiastically when she heard that it was Li Zhe.

Qin Lingling? Li Zhe thought of a little black girl, and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's me, I'm here to find some people to help, something happened in the village, I need to find someone."

Originally, this could have allowed the old village chief to run, but the old village chief was old and couldn't explain clearly, so Li Zhe simply walked one by one by himself.

"Looking for someone? Build a house? Can my family do it? I will plant the land after a while, and I will be idle during this time. If you want to find someone, you must call my family." Li Jiaji is too rich. Building the house and doing the work in the fields were all done by people from the nearby villages. Many people in Baiyang Village had done it, and naturally they paid a lot of money.

When they heard that there was work to do, they naturally pricked up their ears.

"What's the matter?" Old Yangtou is the old village chief, he was the one who sent people before, so he naturally listened with energy.

Li Jianjun didn't know what Li Zhe wanted to do, and looked at Li Zhe curiously.

"In the village, no matter men, women or children, everyone can go. The chickens and ducks in our village were harmed by bamboo rats and mountain rats yesterday. There are many, many bamboo rats and mountain rats. If you have time, you can catch them. Now every household should There is no work, no accidents, and it is not a problem for one person to catch a few a day."

Seeing that everyone was excited and waiting for his next words, Li Zhe naturally didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and said: "Eighty yuan a catty, no matter whether it is a mountain mouse or a bamboo mouse, it is eighty-one catties for a live one, and five for a dead one." Ten yuan a catty, just now I caught two in 15 minutes, and two of them weighed about six catties. At this price, it would be close to 500 yuan. If you are lucky, you can easily spend more than 1,000 yuan a day."

This is his estimate. In fact, some people get lucky one day, and it is not a problem to get a dozen or twenty catties. However, this kind of thing is not easy to catch alone.
