Chapter 373: Being Recruited
"He Ying, see, these mousetraps are very dangerous.
You can't run over to play, or you'll get caught like Grandpa Yan and the others, and it'll hurt, don't you understand?"

He Ying also saw several neighbor uncles grimacing.
He was very familiar with this expression. Every time Lou Xiao'e beat him, he had the same expression.
So after hearing He Yuzhu's instructions, He Ying nodded obediently.

"Yeah, Dad, I know. I definitely won't go over there."

Not long after, the neighbors happily moved all the mousetraps to the public toilet outside. He Yuzhu went outside to take a look and saw that the place was set up like a maze.

At night, He Yuzhu was sleeping at home when suddenly a scream of "Ah" was heard in the quiet night sky.
Then he screamed "ah" and "ah" a few more times.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was also awakened by the noise outside, and looked at He Yuzhu who got up and pulled the light cord with some curiosity.
"Zhu Zi, what's going on outside? Who is screaming so miserably that his voice is breaking?"

He Yuzhu was half asleep and didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he couldn't answer Lou Xiaoe.
"I'll go out with a flashlight and take a look."

"Well, then go out and take a look, and tell me what's going on later."

He Yuzhu walked out of the house with a flashlight, and then found that most of the neighbors were also woken up by the noise. Yan Bugui, who lived opposite, even opened the door to check the situation.
"Zhu Zi, do you know what's going on outside? Who is screaming so miserably?"

"Uncle Yan, I'm confused too. How about you go out and take a nap?"

He Yuzhu had just said that he didn't know when Chen Zhijie said with a smile,

"I think someone must have been caught in those mousetraps while using the toilet, otherwise he wouldn't be screaming so miserably and so often!"

I heard Chen Zhijie say it was because of a mousetrap.

Everyone immediately remembered the things that were placed near the public toilet in the evening, and then they shuddered.
Yan Bugui immediately shrank back.

"Come on, if it's really a mousetrap, then let's go back to bed.
So many neighbors have set up mousetraps near the public toilets, and I don't know whose house he stepped on. Going out to watch the commotion at this time will definitely lead to bad consequences.

I think you should ask for details tomorrow when you go to the toilet or empty the spittoon!"

When the neighbors heard Yan Bugui say this, they also felt that he was right.

So many people have placed mousetraps near the public toilet. Everyone is responsible. Whoever goes out first will be unlucky.

Seeing that everyone went back to their rooms and turned off the lights to go to sleep, He Yuzhu was not a stubborn person, so he naturally turned around and went home.
After telling Lou Xiaoe about Yan Bugui and Chen Zhijie's speculations,
The couple went back to sleep.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early to go to the toilet. When he arrived near the public toilet, he saw that it was already crowded with people.
The mousetraps that were neatly placed on the ground were now in a mess.
Wu Dafu from the courtyard next door was rubbing his flesh with a grimace, cursing loudly in the crowd.

All the neighbors who got up early to go to the toilet were spooned.

After hearing the dirty words coming out of Wu Dafu's mouth, everyone gradually understood what happened last night.

Basically, I went out to the toilet in the middle of the night and got caught in a mousetrap.

Then he rolled around on the ground, his body covered with mousetraps.

Hearing how miserable Wu Dafu was last night, the neighbors felt a little sympathetic towards him, but sympathy was sympathy, and they couldn't let him delay their own business.

So after Wu Dafu had been yelling for a while, someone came out to chase him away, "Old Wu, stop it. It's just a mousetrap. What's the big deal? Just keep complaining.
We got caught quite a few times when we were installing mousetraps yesterday.

Get out of the way quickly, we have to go to the toilet, go home, wash up, eat and go to work, why are you standing here in the way?"

"Of course, just curse a few words.
We can't wait for you to scold us enough before we get busy with our own business. I'm not your father, so why should we listen to you spewing shit here?"

……

After breakfast, those who need to go to work go to work, and those who need to go to school go to school.
As He Yuzhu rode his bicycle with He Daqing on the way to Fengze Garden, countless old, weak, women and children were still beating gongs and drums and chasing sparrows all over the city.
From time to time, workers on both sides of the road would use machines to pour the insecticide [666] into the sewers.

The common people in Beiping used every possible means to eliminate the four pests.

Even the greetings between acquaintances along the way,

It also changed from "Have you eaten?" to "How many sparrows did you kill, how many mice did you take out?"

Correspondingly,

The pressure on the medical and health system in Beijing was also extremely great. Various strange diseases and food poisoning caused by eating rat meat and sparrow meat were emerging one after another.
Several families in the courtyard were also affected, and the worst hit among them were father and son Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi.

After get off work in the afternoon, just coming out of Fengze Garden, He Daqing sat on the back seat of his bicycle and said,
"Zhu Zi, buy some fruit on the way.

When we get to Nanluoguxiang, let’s go to Gulou Hospital to visit Lao Liu, Lao Yan, and Zhang Saozi.”

Hearing He Daqing's words, and remembering the chaotic scene last night, He Yuzhu could not help but nodded.
"Okay, I'll weigh a few pounds of apples later and go see Second Uncle and the others.

I think the second uncle and Liu Guangqi deserved it.

I heard from Guangtian and Guangfu that most of the rat meat they bought on the black market last night went into the mouths of Second Uncle and Liu Guangqi.
If they were as fair as Uncle Yan's family, the situation between Second Uncle and Liu Guangqi might not be that serious.
Even if it's not like Uncle Yan's family, it's fine to be like Aunt Zhang's family.

Although the whole family was lying in the hospital, they were not seriously ill after all, unlike the second uncle and his son, who were vomiting and having diarrhea all the time. "

Although I couldn't see my son's expression, I thought that my son always looked down on the neighbors in the courtyard.
He Daqing could easily imagine He Yuzhu's gloating expression.

I couldn't help but pat him on the back.

"Okay, Zhuzi, if you keep saying that, Lao Liu and the others are also patients now, don't gloat over their misfortune. It won't be good if others see it."

"Don't worry, Dad. I still have some sense of propriety."

Hearing this, He Daqing nodded, then continued with a smile,
"Fortunately, my family never eats rats, otherwise we might have been bitten like Lao Liu and his family this time."

"Hehe, that's right. We don't need that at home. There's no need to eat rats. It's too disgusting."
