If there are thousands of rats in a village, then the people in the village will definitely have a hard time, and there will even be a shortage of food, which is simply a rat infestation!
In 1978, there was a rat infestation in a remote village in our hometown in Shanxi, if it was not for the experienced old man in the village who came out to rescue the scene in time, then the consequences were unimaginable.
In mid-October 1978, it suddenly rained heavily, and it rained for three days and three nights, and the villages at the foot of the mountain were flooded with heavy rain.
Many residents at the foot of the mountain came to our village because their houses were flooded by the rain, and overnight there were hundreds of more people in the village, some of whom lived in front of other people's homes, and those who had relatives in our village lived in their homes.
Another part is to directly prop up two pieces of wood, and then spread a large piece of tarpaulin to live directly in our village. Although humans know that when it rains heavily, they have to go to higher places, but the animals on the ground also understand this truth.
There are many frogs, insects, snakes, hares, rats, and so on. With the departure of other animals, the rats have made a home in our village, and there are thousands of rats in the huge herd, and when you wake up in the morning, you can see the rats of Wuyang and Wuyang when you stand at the door.
They chirped as they walked. You must know that in 1978, some families did not even have enough to eat, and the torrential rain washed away the grain in the fields. At this time, almost every household's food was attacked by rats.
It is simply impossible to prevent it, even if the food is completely covered with iron sheets, the rats will enter the granary with a big hole, and in just a week, there are already poor families who have come out to borrow food to eat, and the rat population is increasing and becoming more and more.
If you let poultry, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, etc. eat rat poison at home, then the situation will be even more tricky. At this time, if there are cats in the house, even if you can't kill all the mice, it can still play a certain deterrent role.
At this time, our village chief stood up, integrated the whole village to hold a meeting and played the slogan "everyone is responsible for the whole village rodent eradication action", and the village chief selected 10 old people according to the actual situation, some of these people are special hunters, and some have people who know more about cats.
After the start of the rodent eradication operation, the old Wang of the village was selected as the captain, the old Wang is very shrewd, usually loves to go to the mountains to catch hares, and he is very familiar with the habits of small animals. After 3 days of early observation, Lao Wang found that the rat colony likes to move towards the east of the village.
When Lao Wang followed the rats to the east of the village, he found that they all ran to the abandoned earthen kiln in the village, this old kiln is the public property of their village, as long as someone wants to build a house, they will come here to burn the kiln, if this place is gnawed by rats, then it will be repaid!
After Lao Wang reported the situation to his leader, the village chief took him door to door to borrow cats, without the help of the natural enemies of mice, then this work is difficult to continue, although every household is counting on the cat to live, but for the sake of the village chief has logged into the door of the face also has to give up the small family for everyone.
In just one day, the village chief and the cat catching team borrowed more than 50 domestic cats, all of which were good adults and had some experience in catching mice. Lao Wang borrowed three more carts to pull the cats to the yard of his home.
When Wang found that the cats had only spent the night in his house, and that the mice in the house had not even seen a shadow, it was then that he realized how terrible the natural enemies of animals were. Preparations: Everything is ready, and the rat hunt will begin at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
The rat trap team placed the cats on three different carts and then surrounded the kiln from three different directions. More than 10 people remained silent during this time, because they knew that the slightest wind and grass could wake up the rats.
Each man with a cart had a watch, so at 12 o'clock in the morning, they pushed the cart forward, and the front of the cart fell heavily, and suddenly more than 50 hungry domestic cats went up together, and the scene was no less than a march to war.
In just a few minutes, you can hear countless rats chirping, the rats are running around, and even the rats can be seen on the roof, and after an hour, the domestic cats begin to run like outside.
Ran to the grass and the cracks in the stones outside to catch mice, and in less than two hours, the whole village instantly quieted down, and Lao Wang began to call it a day when he saw this, so as not to affect the second wave of rat catching operations. This time is just a simple start.
Lao Wang is ready to use fatigue tactics to capture the rat swarm, and the main goal is to catch the enemy by surprise. After Lao Wang brought the cats to the yard of the house, the courtyard door was opened at more than 6 o'clock the next morning, and it was just the time for the cats to eat breakfast.
In an instant, more than 50 domestic cats rushed towards the door, and a village was full of domestic cats, because domestic cats can jump over the wall, even the rats and cats in the villagers' homes can be easily captured, and this time the mouse-catching activity lasted for 1 hour.
The cats were exhausted and slept in Wang's house for a full day, and when it was evening, Wang was ready for another final assault. All 10 members of their rat catching team gathered and came to the house of Zhang Laosan, a large grain grower in the village.
Zhang Laosan's home can be said to be the food lifeblood of the whole village, as long as there are people in the village who are short of food, they will almost go to his house to borrow it. Because there is a lot of food, rats are also flooding the grain factory in Zhang Laosan's house, and even the wooden door of the grain depot has been bitten out by rats with several big holes.
At 6 p.m., when people eat dinner, it is also the time when the rats are most active. At this time, Lao Wang sent all the domestic cats to the yard of Zhang Laosan's house, and then a team of more than 10 rat catchers was ready to go, because this time they also had to catch rats in actual combat.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Wang shouted that all the domestic cats ran out, and the water around the granary was blocked, and in an instant the rats in the entire granary ran out densely, and at this time the 10-person rat catching team picked up the iron rake and drove it back to the granary.
Seeing that the mice were about to escape, at this time there was a sudden sound of the footsteps of the people of Wuyang and Wuyang, so a large group of domestic cats came running, whether it was a male cat or a female cat or a kitten and an old cat, all the cats in the whole village ran over, and it turned out that the villagers rushed to the rescue!
The war lasted for 5 hours, and after the rats in the granary were caught, the cats from the other villages and the cats from the village all ran into the village.
It wasn't until about 11 p.m. that the whole village quieted down, and the cats went back to their homes early the next morning, and the early morning people no longer had mice chirping in the morning to steal food.
