Chapter 139 Prairie Rodent Infestation
The sound insulation of the door wall is very poor.

The noise started again, a strange mixture of panting and the rustling of the quilt.

"This is outrageous...there's someone next door." the woman panted.

"Didn't you say that I'm incompetent?" Wei Shujie laughed quietly and breathlessly. He strangely longed for a woman's moan.

"I have to sell seeds tomorrow."

Wei Shujie didn't care and climbed onto the horse. The woman jumped a few times but couldn't get away, so she lay down obediently and let him bully her.

Barking and biting.

The sound of wheezing breathing reached my ears.

Quite irritable.

Xu Xiaoxue hugged the yellow fluffy mattress tightly in her arms. It was soft and moisture-proof.

This desolate hotel was her only comfort.

In the middle of the night, sounds from next door could be heard from time to time, the rustling of quilts, the man's panting, and the woman's moaning.

Like a dull saw blade, it scratched her nerves.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

As soon as the sun rose, she couldn't wait to get up, wash, get dressed, and go out.

Just then a man and a woman came out from next door.

The men are strong and the women are charming.

The woman went downstairs first, and the man checked out at the front desk side by side with her.

Wei Shujie was breathing heavily as if he had not woken up yet, and he secretly glanced at the woman next to him out of the corner of his eye.

She was slim and well-proportioned, with a beautiful face, fashionable clothes and an elegant temperament, which was incompatible with a country boy like him.

"what!"

Suddenly, I heard a creepy scream, it was a woman's voice.

"Come on, big rat."

Wei Shujie hurried downstairs.

Xu Xiaoxue also checked out of the room and went downstairs carefully. He was also scared of rats.

When I got downstairs, I saw the woman with both feet on the wheels of the pallet truck, not daring to touch the ground.

The rear of the truck was covered by a tarp, but corn kernels were scattered on the ground beneath the truck.

The man asked, "Where is the mouse?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rat jumped out again, trying to escape.

The innkeeper ran out at this moment, and with quick eyes and hands, he stepped on half of the mouse's body.

He reached out and grabbed the mouse's scalp. As he lifted it up, the mouse's tail swung violently and its screams spread throughout the yard.

"Oh, it's heavy."

Seeing that the guests were alarmed, the boss explained with a smile.

"This year there was a plague of rats, and the grasslands and land were all destroyed."

Xu Xiaoxue shuddered and shivered. Should she kill the mouse or let it go?

"Just kill him quickly." Wei Shujie helped the frightened woman down and checked the rear of the truck.

Xu Xiaoxue vaguely saw the packaging of Tianyu No. 1, and there seemed to be the shadow of Zhengdan 958.

Something feels weird.

The boss chuckled.

He picked up half a handful of corn kernels from the ground, shackled the mouse's body, crushed the kernels, and stuffed them into the mouse's anus.

The rat screamed and struggled frantically.

The boss stuffed the seeds in and said:
"For other mice, one pill would be enough. But this mouse's anus is loose, so I need to stuff more than one pill in there, and I have to hold it in place, otherwise, it will poop out everything."

"It's so creepy, let's just give it a quick death." said Wei Shujie.

Xu Xiaoxue also got goosebumps.

The boss took out needle and thread, grabbed the mouse's anus, and gave it a few stitches.

"What do you know? I asked it to help me kill rats. The seeds will swell, and if they swell for a long time, they will block the anus. The pain will make it go crazy, and it will bite other rats crazily."

The more she listened, the creepier it became, but strangely, after Xu Xiaoxue heard it, she kept wanting to take a look and was reluctant to miss this rare scene.

Zhang Guifang pulled the man and said, "Let's go."

"I'm not going to have breakfast anymore. I'm going to have mutton instead. I cooked it all night and it tastes really good."

"I have no appetite." said the woman. Wei Shujie was a little greedy. He had been busy all night last night and needed to replenish himself. But there was nothing he could do since the woman wanted to leave.

Xu Xiaoxue also felt a little chilly, but thinking about the arduous journey, she definitely couldn't go without food, so she had to drink some broth.

When she finished drinking and was about to leave, she noticed the corn kernels scattered on the ground.

I bent over to pick it up, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.

Zhengdan 958?

Tianyu No. 1?
The color, the shape, everything was wrong. I searched on the ground and actually found moldy grains.

Is this a seed?
Having worked as a seed industry reporter for several years, she has witnessed several cases of fake seeds and has basic seed identification skills.

Corn hybrids usually have a fixed color, shape and size. And the color should be consistent.

The grains in front of me are yellow, red, and some are mixed with other colors, and the color is also darker.

Xu Xiaoxue quickly concluded that this was not a hybrid, nor a new species, but an old species from the previous year.

I remembered what the woman said last night.
“You still have to sell seeds tomorrow?”

Xu Xiaoxue realized that she had encountered someone selling fake seeds.

It’s your bad luck to meet me!

She was still wondering why he made such a fuss last night and tossed around for half the night, but ended up going out early in the morning. It turned out that he was blinded by profit.

But who should I turn to?
She is not familiar with the local area, and it is even more impossible to find a job. Her family is asking around for her whereabouts, so this is like a gift to her doorstep.

While kneading the corn kernels and thinking about the Zhengdan 958 packaging that flashed by, I came up with an idea.

"Hello, I'm Xu Xiaoxue."

Zhang Yang looks delighted at a factory under construction in Meng Province.

"Xiaoxue, where are you? Your uncle and aunt are looking for you all over the world."

Xu Xiaoxue thought, it’s a good thing I ran fast.

"I'm in Bayannur, Urad."

"There's a rat infestation on the grassland these days, so you have to be careful. I'll come find you. I happen to be nearby."

He curled his lips and said, "Not in the grassland. I'm in WLTQQ. I found two dealers selling fake seeds this morning, one of them is Zhengdan 958."

WLTQQ, also belonging to the Hetao region, is the largest corn producing area in Meng Province.

"Hurry up, come here."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Yang felt excited and full of confidence.

Xiaoxue still has me in her heart.

Look, when I encountered a problem, the first person I thought of was me.

Zhang Yang put aside his current work and mobilized the professional anti-counterfeiting team of Denong Company.
Yes, Denong has always had a special anti-counterfeiting team of 10 people in total.

Fake seed vendors are arrogant. In the first quarter of this year, the anti-counterfeiting team seized more than 30 counterfeit packaging bags, confiscated more than 2 fake packaging bags, and nearly 30 kilograms of fake seeds.

In the past, Zhang Yang would not ask about this part of the business.

But this time, he wants to charge for love and go to the front line himself.

Xu Xiaoxue opened the car door and was about to get in when there was a sudden loud squeaking sound.

At a glance, several mice were fleeing frantically. A big rat behind them was extremely ferocious and chased them relentlessly. It caught up with one and bit it in its mouth.

The little mouse twisted its limbs and screamed, "Oh, mouse! I'm going to die."

The innkeeper was very excited, "Bite, bite a few more, so I don't have to do it myself."

Xu Xiaoxue shuddered and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she got into the car, closed the door, and chased the couple away.

after one day.

"That couple is roaming around in this town and nearby villages. The license plate number is *****. Good luck to you."

"Where are you?"

"Beep...beep..."

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. He was leaving just like that?

The anti-counterfeiting team behind them also looked at each other.

Sure enough, the dog that licks the boot never dies a good death.

Zhang Yang vented his anger on the man and woman who sold fake seeds, and they were both fined and sentenced.

The woman was a habitual offender, committing crimes over a period of more than 10 years and roaming across more than a dozen provinces.

The one who was pitiful was the man, a country bumpkin. The woman was attracted by his stubbornness and dragged him into the water.

Men should also learn to protect themselves when they go out.

……

Urat grassland.

In early summer, May is the time when the pastures turn green and the cattle and sheep grow fat.

But along the way, Xu Xiaoxue saw no green grass in the grassland, only densely packed rat holes, like a row of beehives.

Many rats that were crushed to death by vehicles were scattered around. The living rats were about two or three inches long and were running around on the exposed grass, gnawing at each other and killing each other.

The mood is not good anymore.

I am here to travel, why do I have so many troubles? The roving seed vendors, the lost grassland, and the ubiquitous rat holes are shocking.

On weekdays, Xu Xiaoxue is also afraid of mice.

but now,
She controlled the speed of the car and crushed one or two fat mice running recklessly on the grassland to relieve her hatred.

She drove the car like she was performing an acrobatic trick, twisting and turning, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and even hit her head on the car window.

Rats are very cunning.

Finally, I'm tired.

I sat helplessly by the lake watching the swans. The blue sky was empty, without a single cloud.
