Li Du ran to the ground and picked up a shovel For this task, he would need to use a round point shovel; the square point shovel would not do
Carrying the shovel, he went over to where Ah Meow had first discovered the rat hole
Godzilla and Big Quinn had just finished plowing the land, and the entrance to the rat hole had been blocked by the soil Li Du tried to scavenge by hand and after sweeping away a layer of soil, he found a hole the size of a child's fist
Hans put on his coat and went over; he asked with enthusias soained his chirpy demeanor
Li Du rubbed his hands and said, ”Wait and see I'll get you so to eat”
When he heard that there was so furiously, stopped in his tracks After pressing the wooden fraround, he asked, ”So Quinn and he stopped work They went over to where Li Du was to watch the fun
Seeing the four of thee of the field, asked, ”What are y'all doing? What's up?”
Li Du replied, ”Looking for a rat hole I want to dig into it—there's crops in it”
Mr Li shook his head ”Not necessarily This is too close to the county There are garbage dumps nearby The rats would search for food there instead of storing crops”
”Even if there were crops in there, ould you want to go digging it out for?” one of Li Du's uncles laughed ”Why do you need to dig it? Whose house is still short of food now?”
”Exactly Xiao Du, you've got foreigner friends with you Fancy you showing them a rat hole? Would they think of China as a rural and backward place?”
Li Du said, ”I' into a rats' nest since pre-university There's bound to be food in this rats' nest”
An onlooker nodded ”Well, the far to store crops, there could be items like peanuts, rice, peas, sweet potatoes, and potatoes”
Li Du guessed that there would be food in the rat hole as the rat that Ah Meow had caught was plulossy This rains and the place for storage was relatively clean
One would know after solossy fur had e dump; the plumpness showed that food was in abundance and the amount of exercise was low
The conclusion was that this rat had hidden a lot of crops in the hole It had stayed in the hole every day to hide from the winter chill, and so it was plu into the rat hole The rat hole inding doards, and even after digging as far as three feet, Li Du had yet to reach the cave Instead, he discovered two separate tunnels
Bewildered, Hans said, ”What's going on here?”
Li Du said, ”In our culture, we've got a saying: 'the wily hare has three holes leading to his burrow' It's the same in the case of the rat Leave it tothis task for fun and so he didn'tto explore the two tunnels to find out which was the rat's barn
As he dug doards following one of the holes, the shovel dug up so this, Li Du perked up Well, so the nest now
As expected, as he dug on, he got to the cave at the end of the tunnel At this point, he used his hand to reerly and widened the access to the cave As he removed the top of the cave, the contents of the cave were unveiled before their eyes
The cave was quite large, covering alularly shaped, there were also several s away from it
