The rats are scattered throughout the temple, and every day people prepare special food for them, including those filled with fresh milk. When it's time to feed, they will pour out from all directions of the temple to eat the prepared food.

This abundant food ensures that the rats in the temple are not plagued by hunger.

Rats here basically don't need to go around dodging cats, because the people here will provide them with meticulous protection to prevent cats from coming in and harming them.

Among them, the degree to which white rats have crawled is the most.
