Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center
Chapter 54 Selling oneself
Chapter 54 Selling oneself
In fact, Uncle Wu was wrong. The "stinky farts" released by weasels are not real "farts", but a yellowish liquid secreted by the scent glands on both sides of the anus.
This liquid is a weapon exclusive to mustelids. When they are in danger, their scent glands will spray out this liquid in response. The liquid will emit a strong, foul smell that will drive away predators and save their lives.
However, the liquid secreted by the scent glands of each mustelid species has a different degree of odor. The degree of odor of the weasel is not even on the list. The "fart" of its big brother, the skunk, is several times stinkier than that of the weasel. Once a few drops splash on clothes, even if you wash with soap and detergent, the smell cannot be washed off, and it will take at least half a month for the smell to go away.
Of course, the liquid secreted by the weasel's scent gland smells bad, but that doesn't mean its meat smells bad. As long as the scent gland on its tail is cut off, the meat can still be eaten.
Seeing the weasel's reaction, Shen Xing curled up a smile. This cunning habitual chicken thief needs to be played with a little to let it know that animals are dangerous. Otherwise, it will dare to steal chickens and dogs next time.
Moreover, this was also a "torture trick". After all, the weasel had stolen a lot of poultry from Uncle Wu's house in the past year. Although Uncle Wu let the chicken thief go, he still felt upset and angry in his heart. He was not happy.
Think about it, you spend money to buy a bunch of chicks, raise them carefully, and are afraid that the chicks will get sick with fowl plague. So in the middle of the night, you use a flashlight to pry open the chickens' beaks one by one and stuff medicine inside. You feed them and add water every day, hoping that the chicks will grow up and lay eggs, and then grow meat when they grow up so that you can sell them for money.
As a result, a thief came to the house, bit all the newly grown chicks that had not yet laid eggs to death and stole them. Wouldn’t you be angry?
A chicken is not worth much money, but the process of raising chickens, the time and effort put into raising them safely, is very valuable, more valuable than gold!
Shen Xing used a "torture tactic" on Wu Bo. On the surface, it was to teach the chicken thief a lesson, but secretly it was to let Wu Bo vent his anger and make him feel better.
He originally thought about spending some money to compensate Uncle Wu for his losses, but when he thought about it, the "chicken disaster" was caused by the weasel, and cleaning up its mess would be tantamount to condoning it to commit crimes again, so he had to give up the idea.
Shen Xing's idea coincides with the current trend of parents over-indulging their children. If a naughty child gets into trouble, instead of spanking or slapping him to punish him severely, this evil trend will be encouraged. The child will 100% grow up astray, and when he grows up, he may bully classmates, rape female classmates, or even steal and kill people. There are countless examples of this on the Internet.
Parents’ excessive indulgence is the beginning of all children’s crimes!
"Since you don't like eating rotten meat, forget it. Just spare the life of this chicken thief." Shen Xing said calmly.
The weasel breathed a sigh of relief, put away its ferocious look, and stopped struggling desperately.
But then, it heard Shen Xing say,
"Uncle, how many of your chickens did it kill? I'll help it pay off your debt first."
The weasel squeaked a few times.
Uncle Wu frowned, looking puzzled. This Wong Tai Sin is a wild beast and doesn't understand human language. How can you ask him to pay back his debt, nephew?
Uncle Wu asked in confusion:
"Xiao Xing, this... this yellow fox killed seven or eight of my chickens. It's just a beast, what can it give back?"
Shen Xing glanced at the yellow skin under the lynx's claws, narrowed his eyes, and said in suspense:
"Uncle, don't worry about it. I have a way to make it return."
Shen Xing made a promise to his fifth uncle.
When Uncle Wu saw Shen Xing was so confident, he subconsciously thought of how he had tamed the wild Siberian tiger and the giant lynx that came down from the mountains. He knew that his eldest nephew had his own unique skills in taming animals.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Uncle Wu said with a smile. Even though those chickens were not worth much money, they were raised by him with great effort. It would be good if he could get back some of the losses. It would at least help to relieve some of the turbid air in his chest and make him feel more comfortable.
"That's fine, uncle. You can calculate the total price of those chickens later and I will transfer the money to you via WeChat." Shen Xing said.
Uncle Wu was stunned when he heard this. Nephew, this is what you call a "method"? Isn't this just you paying out of your own pocket to clean up this beast's ass?
"No, I can't accept this money. How can I let you bear the consequences of this beast's misfortune?" Uncle Wu quickly waved his hands and shook his head in disagreement.
"Uncle, look, what are the abilities of our Huang Daxian?" Shen Xing said with a smile.
"What?" Uncle Wu scratched his head, looking confused.
Then, suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly realized.
"Oh, catching mice?"
"That's right!" Shen Xing nodded.
"Uncle, you are almost sixty years old, but your brain is still so useful." Shen Xing couldn't help but praise him and said with a smile.
"You little rascal, are you praising your fifth uncle or scolding him?" Fifth uncle rolled his eyes at Shen Xing and scolded him unhappily.
Although the weasel is cunning and often likes to do some sneaky things, it is a "beneficial animal". Its staple food is mainly mice. Mice often steal the villagers' food and bite the furniture. There are too many such mice in the wooden house village where Shen Xing lives. If he takes in this weasel and lets it work for him to catch mice and eliminate rat infestations, wouldn't that be a huge profit?
How much is one chicken? How much are seven or eight chickens worth?
Later, he took the weasel in, made it sign a contract to sell itself, and made the weasel known as the "Rat Killer" in the village. He asked the weasel to eliminate rats in the villagers' homes and charged a fee. Isn't that the money that would come?
Moreover, influenced by the feudal superstition of the "Five Immortals of the Northeast", mice are the "gray fairies" among the five fairies. When villagers encounter gray fairies, they cannot kill them, nor can they drive them away, so they can only endure them. As a result, there are more and more gray fairies in the house, and the mouse son, mouse father, mouse grandfather, and mouse great-grandfather, all of four generations of the family live together and the family is reunited.
The weasel is the "Yellow Fairy". Let the "Yellow Fairy" deal with the "Gray Fairy" and let the "Xiangrui" deal with the "Xiangrui". It does not violate any taboo and will not destroy the feng shui and fortune of the village.
"It's true! This is great, nephew. You are worthy of being a college student from a key university. You have a smart brain!" Uncle Wu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise Shen Xing.
Not to mention the villagers, even he himself was harassed by the rats in the corners of the house when he slept in the middle of the night.
Those rats are braver than humans. They even dare to jump on the table and steal food when people are eating during the day. Can you believe it?
"Okay, okay, this idea is good." Uncle Wu nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle, it's settled then." Shen Xing laughed.
He only said half of the idea of letting the weasel catch mice to pay off the debt.
He can communicate with the weasel without any obstacles, and let it work for him. It is not just for catching mice. Can't he also find Ganoderma lucidum and pick chicken mushrooms? Some Ganoderma lucidum grows on trees that are dozens of meters high. People can't climb up, but Wong Tai Sin can.
Shen Xing and Uncle Wu looked at the weasel together with fiery eyes.
The weasel felt frightened when being stared at by these two humans. It couldn't help but shiver, and its little paws on its chest trembled.
