Chapter 158 The Great Rat Extermination Operation
By mid-morning, the decorations at the fruit shop were finished, and the Dorothys were having a blast. Lying sprawled in the truck bed, Dorothy fiddled with the small air conditioner, directing the cool air directly at her; Dorothy and Donas were too exhausted to argue with it anymore, so they climbed downwind, panting heavily, trying to regain their strength as quickly as possible.
The three little ones went from pink hair and white fur to colorful.
"Colorful" is the most fitting description!
Huang Musong took them home to bathe...
The paint was purchased by Su Qingyao, who seemed to have anticipated that the Doro would engage in a water fight with it. A cleaning solution was provided specifically for removing the paint, with an effect comparable to erasing pencil marks.
After restoring its pure white coat color.
Doro curled up in a ball, lazily basking in the sun on the balcony, its furry body rising and falling with its breath, contentedly snoring and taking a nap.
It didn't even have the appetite for lunch.
There were more important things to do in the afternoon!
Donas has lived in the wild for a long time and is somewhat wild; its abundant energy means it doesn't need a midday rest.
Lying down and listening to music for half an hour rejuvenated her. Donas ate a little something and patiently waited for the announcement to "depart."
Dorothy is a civil servant.
Its physical condition is far inferior to that of Doraemon and Donas.
While taking a bath, I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I fell asleep before my fur was completely dry.
I slept straight through until 3:30...
When Dorothy woke up, the electric tricycle had just arrived outside the orchard, seamlessly connecting to the second arrangement.
"Cheer up, little ones!"
"Let's get rid of the rats together with Gatomon before dark."
Huang Musong knocked on the car door, making a "bang bang bang" sound to wake up the three doro.
Actually, for doro, doing two things on the same day can be very tiring.
The added fatigue isn't enough to affect my health.
At most, I'll let them go back to eat dinner and then rest.
Then sleep soundly until dawn.
This is exactly the situation Huang Musong needs most, for the reason that...
He plans to stay in the same room with Su Qingyao tonight!
If the three little ones aren't tired and wander around the room in the middle of the night, wouldn't that be a downer?
In order to exhaust the boundless energy of Doraemon, Dorothy, and Donas.
Huang Musong pulled a tightly sealed black trophy from his backpack as if by magic.
Tear off the packaging paper.
He held the trophy and shook it in front of the little ones one by one.
"Oh~"
"It's a trophy?"
"Great!"
In an instant, a chorus of exclamations erupted, and three pairs of eyes turned to Huang Musong.
The trophy was a custom-made Doro model made by a vendor found online.
Pure metal material plated with a layer of gold leaf,
The price of over a thousand yuan is not considered expensive.
Originally, Huang Musong had acquired three trophies and planned to reward each of the doro dogs with them all at once.
The reason for the reward is that they brought back priceless tree fruit seeds from their travels!
I thought about it this morning.
The method of directly awarding the trophy seemed a bit abrupt.
By taking advantage of the rat-catching competition to award the first trophy, and at the same time depleting the doro's energy, a double benefit can be achieved.
Mistakenly believing there was only one trophy, the three little guys looked at each other in bewilderment, and suddenly their motivation was ignited.
"The trophy is definitely mine! You guys should just admit defeat."
Donas pulled out her toy sword, slashed wildly a few times in the air, and said confidently.
No matter what rules people propose for the competition.
They were confident that they could surpass Doraemon and Dorothy.
Doro certainly wouldn't give up its chance to compete for nothing; in fact, it was even more determined than Donas.
"The trophy is mine!"
As Donas sticks out her belly, Doro challenges her with a gesture, bumping her stomach.
"You? No chance."
Donas raised her index finger and shook it from side to side, teasingly.
Doraemon: "The trophy absolutely belongs to me! Look, the trophy sculpture looks exactly like me, I'm exactly the same as the trophy."
Donas: "We're both Doro, we look similar, how can you be sure it's you?"
Dorothy: "Could you two please be quiet for a moment and let me say a few words...?"
"It's not convenient now! Anyway, the trophy isn't yours, and the sculpture isn't wearing glasses." Dorothy and Donas spoke in unison, tacitly uniting against the outside world and interrupting Dorothy's next words.
The little ones are full of energy!
Huang Musong was very satisfied.
He cleared his throat and began to explain the rules.
"First of all, there's more than one trophy; I hid the other two beforehand."
"Secondly, this trophy in front of you is only a prize for today's rat-catching contest. Whether it's a mole or a bamboo rat, as long as you catch it and put it in a sack, you'll get 1 point. The contest ends at nightfall, and whoever has the most points gets the trophy."
"Finally, the other two trophies are the same design as this one, so there's no question of which one the gilded sculpture resembles more..."
These words,
In reality, only the second rule is correct.
The other two were purely to motivate the doro or to prevent them from being unhappy.
In any competition, there are winners and losers, and defeat can lead to sadness.
Just to clarify, there's more than one of these trophies, so if you don't get it this time, there's still a chance next time.
As for emphasizing that all three trophies are the same style,
Huang Musong was targeting Dorothy's cleverness.
If it mistakenly believes that the trophies are different and that each of the doro will have one, it will definitely slack off during the rodent control process!
Huang Musong accurately predicted Dorothy's little scheme!
After listening to the person's statement
Dorothy frowned, finding it too difficult; there was simply no loophole to exploit.
Must we rely on our skills to catch mice?
I'm not sure I can beat Donas!
Straightening her glasses, Dorothy glanced at the clumsy Doro and assumed it would inevitably be at the bottom of the class.
Donas has the ability to communicate with animals.
Catching mice is effortless for it; it simply grabs and pinches them with its hand.
"So what should we do?"
Dorothy really wanted to win the mouse-catching contest because she knew that the later contests wouldn't necessarily be easier than catching mice, and the sooner she got the trophy, the better.
Huang Musong was worried that this clever little guy would disrupt the competition.
He immediately announced, "Begin!"
Donas moved swiftly, grabbing a sack and dashing into the orchard, where she drew her sword and began hacking at the mound.
A nest of moles was startled.
A dozen or so dark figures darted out of the cave to escape...
"Slap slap slap"
Donas swung her sword three times in quick succession, striking the heads of three bamboo rats.
The force was just right.
It quickly stuffed the unconscious bamboo rat into a sack.
In just over ten seconds, I earned 3 points.
Donas tilted her head, raised one eyebrow high, and gave Doro a deliberately cheeky and provocative laugh.
Doraemon couldn't stand its boasting, so he grabbed a sack and followed, searching for mouse holes and digging around.
The rodent density in the several acres of orchard is quite high!
Several more bamboo rats were startled.
Doro successfully caught two of them.
Earn 2 points!
"Hey, aren't I amazing? Hehe!" Doro returned to Huang Musong, carrying a bamboo rat in each hand, eager for praise.
Huang Musong nodded and smiled.
He stroked Doro's head.
He praised her while reminding her, "You need to work harder, otherwise it will be difficult to beat Donas. Although there will be competitions where you can win trophies in the future, the more trophies the better, right?"
Praise from people fills Doraemon with power!
His expression changed from smiling to serious.
Doraemon resolutely ran back to the orchard.
The mouse-catching contest between Donas and Dorothy has already begun, but Dorothy is in no hurry and continues to use her brain to think.
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting!
It always felt there was a loophole to exploit in this game.
Oh?
seemingly……
"You didn't say there was a rule against stealing points from each other, did you?" Dorothy crossed her arms, mimicking the pose of the trophy sculpture, and looked up to ask.
Upon hearing this, Huang Musong remained silent, revealing a playful expression that seemed to say, "What do you think?"
Dorothy understood what the man meant.
"Ugh!"
"Looks like I'll have to stick to catching mice for now."
Reluctantly stepping into the orchard, Dorothy pondered as she caught mice, racking her brains to figure out the bug in the competition.
To prevent Dorothy from causing trouble, Huang Musong waved to the sunshade not far away, signaling Gatomon to come over.
The sunshade was a makeshift shelter he built for Gatomon and Palmon.
Its function is to keep out the rain.
In addition, it also provides sun protection.
Seeing the person's signal, Gatomon got up and walked over.
Two days ago, when Dilu arrived at the orchard, it couldn't wait to use all kinds of field mice as punching bags.
Huang Musong told him not to rush.
They also made it clear that the plan was to have the three doro compete in a mouse-catching contest.
Faced with a true expert mouse catcher, Huang Musong assigned Dilu Beast to act as a referee, presiding over a fair and just competition.
"rest assured!"
"I'll keep a close eye on Dorothy."
"Let Donas win easily, without any underhanded tactics."
Upon approaching the person, Gatomon lowered its voice and made a promise.
Huang Musong nodded happily, without saying anything more.
Tailmon's personality is trustworthy!
He delegated the power of hosting the competition to Gatomon, and then handed over a large bag of dried fish, so that Gatomon wouldn't work for nothing.
Unexpectedly, there was dried fish to eat. Gatomon's eyes lit up, thinking, "No wonder the Doromon like him! This guy really knows how to create surprises..."
[Click, click]
Chewing on dried fish like it was potato chips, Gatomon stepped into the orchard to inspect it.
Huang Musong seized the opportunity to find the palm beast.
Recently, palm-bearing mammals have been released into the orchard.
It shouldn't be too lonely, right?
After all, being a plant, the palm beast wouldn't crave companionship too much.
Seeing people approaching, the Palm Beast felt a little flustered, but mostly it was filled with anticipation!
It's been a while since I've seen anyone.
It was thinking: What kind of topics should I talk about with Huang Musong?
