After talking about the situation in the temple, everyone started to eat. Wei Wuji opened a can of tuna and was about to eat it when he was attracted by something outside. He stood up and went to the door.
Seeing that his actions were strange, Yao Yun also followed him out. She discovered that Wuji was actually playing with an old cat lying under the eaves outside the door.
He looked no different from an ordinary Indian cat, but he was a lot bigger and had an extremely fierce and dignified expression. However, under Wei Wuji's scratching, the old cat was squinting its eyes from time to time, as if enjoying the show.
"This big cat is pretty good to raise. I think he's even fatter than the villagers around here." As Yao Ling spoke, she suddenly recalled that there was a temple full of rats nearby and that there was often a group of rats lurking about. Could it be that this old cat often had mice that ate the fat and sturdy food that gave birth to it?
He pointed to the old cat and said, "The gas station owner said this cat was picked up when he first moved here. At that time, it was attacked by the nearby villagers and was on the verge of death. Ever since he raised this cat, no mouse has ever dared to come to his house to cause trouble. He felt that to have a cat like this in a place where mice are so rampant would already be considered as living quarters. "
All of a sudden, Wuji removed his hand from the cat's neck. Then, he placed his five fingers on the ground and started to sway lightly. He looked like a sneaky mouse.
When it saw Wei Wuji imitating the hand of a mouse, it immediately changed from lying on the ground into hiding. Its entire body contracted like a spring, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
When he saw this, Wuji was overjoyed. He raised his hand and formed a fist, sweeping it across the old cat's head, ears, and beard. His expression was as if he had discovered some treasure as he continuously exclaimed in wonder.
"What is he doing?" Chen Jiayi asked curiously.
"This is a test of this cat's rat-hunting abilities," Yao Ling told her. "This old cat doesn't seem to be ordinary. It can be considered a cat king."
After he was done eating, he continued to play with the cat. Yao Ling stood to the side and said: "Fourth Bro, I heard that your family has a very good way of taming cats. Since you like this cat so much, do you think you can help us out?"
At the side, Chen Yao interjected, "You guys don't know how powerful the rats are here, but there are countless of them hidden in the caves nearby. Every time they come out, there would be tens of thousands of them. It is said that once upon a time, a villager had committed a grave offense against the Rat God and was punished for it. Under broad daylight, a large group of rats charged into their house, gnawing away at their family of seven until only bones remained. "
Wei Wuji did not think much of her words, and said: "There are many things in this world that are very subtle, like one thing getting rid of another, and some animals have a fear that is hard for humans to understand. Even though they can pay the price with their own strength, they are too scared to even run away, and that's how cats and mice are. Of course, there are many differences here, but this Elvis cat can definitely create a huge mess in a crowd of thousands of rats, and I think it can be of use at a critical moment. " His last sentence was directed at Yao Ling.
From that night onwards, Wei Wuji was inseparable from the Indian cat. He even brought it to sleep with him, and he carefully prepared its food every day. He added some light yellow powder into the cat food, and after the old cat finished eating the cat food, he hugged the cat and kept grooming and massaging its body. He even chanted something to the old cat, and it looked like the coach was relaxing its body for the boxer and teaching it the tactics for the next step.
Yao Yun merely watched all of this silently in her heart without asking. Even though he and Wei Wuji were like brothers and sisters, the idea of a portal to the besieged camp had always been deeply rooted in their hearts. Other than the fact that the two of them had studied the [Thousand-Hands Duroni Scripture] together, they did not communicate much with each other regarding their family's skills. All these years, other than passing some of his skills to Yao Ling, Wuji had kept the secret techniques of the Wei family a secret. After all, the Wei family had a secret technique that could not be penetrated by outsiders.
On the fourth day of their stay at the gas station, the day finally came when the local worshipers of the Rat God had arrived, and the villagers from the nearby villages and villages had all moved out together, following the yellow road to the temple of the Rat, which was not far from the gas station, to pay their tribute in the open space.
This was the best opportunity to observe the temple. The owner of the gas station drove his van, which was sprayed with all kinds of patterns, to the scene to offer his services. The two people, Yao Wei and Chen Sha, hid inside the van with their binoculars watching the movement inside and outside the temple.
This temple was built halfway up the mountain, and the entrance was the cave entrance. However, a magnificent platform was built outside the temple by craftsmen, and on it stood a one-man tall statue of the God of Fortune. However, ordinary believers were not allowed to get close to the temple, so they could only gather at the foot of the mountain and place the silver on the ground. There were two old monk slaves holding onto account books to maintain order.
"It's quite orderly and harmonious." Yao Yun said to Chen Chou Sheng as he watched the scene unfold in front of him.
Wei Wuji asked: "Why did they donate so much money to just these two old men?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "How long will it take to memorize it? Besides, it won't show the power of the Rat God. You guys just watch and watch. This is so f * cking evil."
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a mouse slave take out something that looked like a whistle and blow on it. A white fog rose in front of the mouse temple on the mountainside, and all the believers kneeled down, kowtowing to the godly temple on the mountainside. Chen Jianxian suddenly said, "Look, the porters are here!"
At some point, a layer of black substance had appeared on the hillside. It was moving rapidly down the hill. Through the telescope, he could clearly see that it was a mouse that was covered with mountains! Like a tidal wave, a large rat swarm drilled out of nowhere. They crowded around each other and poured down the hill, arriving at the empty space at the foot of the mountain very quickly. The kneeling villagers were also furious. They opened their arms and cheered, as if they didn't care about this terrifying rat swarm at all.
The rats came to the place where the silver was stored and immediately began to move the silver. Some of the taller ones picked up a piece of silver and rolled it horizontally on the ground. The rest of the rats swarmed over and dragged it away like a sleigh. The empty ground was simply like a huge construction site. The rats were like well-trained workers who were working together to complete the task of moving the land. In just a few minutes, all the silver accumulated on the ground was moved away and then, as if by magic, disappeared one by one as they were moving up the hill.
Even though Yao Xuan and Wuji had guessed that the rat swarm would appear and move away to offer worship, they were still dumbstruck by the imposing aura and the well-trained order of the large rat swarm. How was this a group of rats, it was clearly an army, they didn't expect that this Indian Singh's control over the rat swarm was so amazing, the two of them couldn't think of a good way to deal with the rat swarm.
Back in Bangalore, Yao Yun and the rest were still optimistic about this operation. After all, Little Singh was poisoned to death by Wang Xiaosi almost without any resistance. Even if his brother was a little stronger than him, he should still be around that level. However, he didn't expect that this matter would be so troublesome. "According to the gas station owner, the temple was built on a mountain, but in fact, it was a natural cave. There were more than a hundred of these caves in the mountain, and the inner rings were like a maze. If one barged in, even if one was not bitten to death by a group of rats, it was still possible to lose his way and die.
Seeing their expressions, Chen Changsheng knew that the two of them didn't have any ideas on how to deal with the situation, so he consoled them, "You've seen the situation outside. We're not in a hurry. Let's go back first and discuss further."
Just as they were about to drive away, they saw a woman among the followers holding a baby in her arms. She was leading a five-year-old boy who was kneeling in front of the mouse slave and begging.
"Elder Chen, what's going on?" "You won't be able to pay the silver for it?" Yao Ling curiously asked.
"Yeah, this woman probably didn't hand over the offering. She is asking the mouse slave to beg the mouse god not to punish her."
Yao Yun then asked him, "What will happen if I were to be punished? The rat swarm is going to harm people? "
"That may not be the case," Chen Changsheng told him. "Normally, if you can't hand it over, you'll have to use other things to support yourself, such as food and beautiful young women. But if you don't have any offerings, then your whole family might be killed."
Back at the gas station, Yao Yun and Wei Wuji were in low spirits as they sat in a corner discussing countermeasures.
Chen Changsheng personally served the two of them some meat and wine, and the three of them chatted as they drank.
The old man tried to ask if there was any good way to get rid of the rats, and Wei Wuji sighed: "Sigh, dealing with a group of rats is just pouring water, poisoning them, or throwing out natural enemies. However, these rats live in the mountains, and the environment here is too complicated. If we were to send out our natural enemies, we would not be able to gather such a large number of spiders and snakes.
Yao Ling took a sip of her wine and said, "It's a pity that Old Hu is no longer around. Otherwise, with his insect control skills, he might have been able to gather so many Mountain Ants. It's a pity.
This temple had been there for more than two hundred years, and it was unknown how much wealth had been amassed and how many villagers had been killed. From ten years ago, he had wanted to eliminate them quickly, but he really did not have the means to do so. After much difficulty, they were finally able to meet the heir of the Barracks in India. Originally, they thought that their wish had a hope of ending, but it turned out that Yao Wei and his brother were helpless against this.
He was originally a hero who could put down whatever he wanted, and he always did things steadily. Now, however, he had thoughts of retreating.
Just as he was about to share his thoughts with Yao Ling, he suddenly heard shouts from the crowd outside. The owner of the gas station ran in and quickly said something to Chen Chou Sheng.
Chen Changsheng frowned as he heard this. He then said to Yao Yun and Wuji, "The woman we saw earlier in the day who didn't hand over the offerings lived in the village behind the gas station. Mice rushed into her house and captured her little son who was not even one year old."
During the day, everyone had witnessed a rat swarm carrying silver taels, so it was not impossible for them to snatch a baby from the house. Thinking of the mouse swarm that he had seen during the day, he feared that they had captured this child and had him gnaw on his bones until there was nothing left! Yao Ling suddenly stood up and sternly said, "Fuck, this bastard is too vicious, let's go!" "Let's take a look!"
Big guys rushed out of the gas station one by one. Before Wei Wuji left, he picked up that old cat. Who knew what would happen in a while? Maybe bringing this Elvis cat would be of some use.
Just as they walked out, they saw a large group of villagers carrying wooden sticks and torches walking towards the temple. Yao Yun thought they were going to save someone, but the owner of the gas station told everyone that these people were escorting that poor woman to the temple to beg for forgiveness.
"Brother, don't act impulsively. The people here have been followers of the Rat God for hundreds of years, and those who have offended the Rat God in their hearts should be put to death, let alone such a powerless widow. Not only can we not get help from these people, we should also be on guard against them trying to kill us. Please do not be rash. "
He tried his best to control his emotions, "Elder Chen, we two brothers are incompetent, we can't help you drive a mouse out of the temple, but today we brothers definitely can't watch a mouse eat all three of them. I can't care about anything else, no matter what, we have to try our best to save them.
