The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 657: Going into the mountains to round up
The villagers on the mountain looked equally nervous. This roundup was carried out in different areas. The 82 men dispersed one after another with hoes and machetes, and slowly searched along the west mountain. According to the estimation of Mr. Chengjia, there were probably still people around. With the existence of young tigers, as long as you find them, it is not difficult to subdue the big insects.

The group was very excited when they heard the news. They couldn't deal with the big insects, but it was a piece of cake to deal with a few tiger cubs.

"Dad, if we capture the cub, wouldn't that big insect go even crazier?" The elder of the Cheng family felt that this was not feasible. If his child was captured, he would definitely spare no effort to seek revenge.

What's more, they are big insects. They are so eager to protect their children that they may bite the whole village to death.

"Of course it won't work if we kill the cub directly, but if we set a trap and use the cub to lure the adult insect in, the chance of winning will be much greater."

The old man who got married is calm when faced with trouble. Although there are many of them, they still have to be smart if they want to catch a big insect. Otherwise, even if 80 more people come, they won't be enough to feed the big insect.

"Dad, you are very thoughtful." The elder of the Cheng family admired Mr. Cheng very much and nodded repeatedly to him. The others were also inspired by their morale, and even the steps they took were particularly confident.

But everyone searched all over the western hills and couldn't find any sign of the big insect, and the cubs were nowhere to be found.

This route was chosen by Mr. Cheng. Now that he had found nothing, he was naturally a little discouraged. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, everyone had to go back to the village before making plans.

"Old lady, I'm back!" Mr. Cheng stood at the door of the courtyard and shouted. This powerful voice made Granny Bai Meixi's heart quickly calm down. The sister-in-law moved faster and ran to the door of the courtyard in three or two steps. He moved the iron fence and welcomed his father-in-law and his husband in.

"You are finally back. We are almost worried to death." The sister-in-law's eyes filled with tears with excitement. Cheng Haiqiang also walked out of the room. He tried his best to pretend to be normal and hugged his Brother, he said a lot of high-sounding things.

"Brother, it's all thanks to you this time. When Xiaoqin gives birth to the child, I will definitely help you with more work." Cheng Haiqiang's words were half sincere and half false. He was worried that his father would see that he was not guarding his family carefully. , will get furious. He has no status in this family. If this is added, their family will no longer want to live here.

"Just remember what I said today, work hard in the future, and don't let your family worry about you all the time."

Mr. Cheng had not been out for a long time, and he was already so tired that his back ached. He just returned to the house and fell asleep. Everyone else also dispersed, closed the door, and tried to catch up on some sleep in the last few hours before dawn.

But the Yao Family Courtyard had reached a point where it was destined to be restless. Before dawn, the village chief beat the gongs and drums and called all the strong men from each household to their feet.

"That big insect is here again and killed a cow in the west." The village chief's cry was very sad. The cow was the only working cow in the village and the most valuable property in the village. Before they went up the mountain, He locked the cattle in the cowshed, but unexpectedly he was discovered by the tiger.

"How can such a good thing as a farm cow be left outside? It should be brought inside the house. If you put it here, wouldn't it be like feeding that big insect!" Mr. Cheng was very angry. The village chief kept asking others to fight 100 %[-] of vigilance, he did not expect that he would actually commit such a serious negligence, causing the village to suffer huge losses.There are no plowing cattle at the beginning of spring. Do we have to use manpower to plow the fields bit by bit?
"I thought it would be fine if I blocked it with straw, but I didn't expect that the big insect's eyes were so sharp and could actually find the cow from so many disguises."

The village chief was full of grievances. The cow had a violent personality and it was impossible to lock him in the house. He had already tried once, but ended up breaking a door and even breaking half of the cow's horn. This kind of Under the circumstances, he could only put it outside to prevent it from harming him. Unexpectedly, it became the meal of the big insect.

"Don't worry, it's important to catch the big bug now." Mr. Cheng took a torch and carefully observed the traces on the ground. This time, the drag marks were very obvious, which made Mr. Cheng reassess the location of the big bug's residence.

"Go east and search all the hills to the east. I don't believe you can't find it." Mr. Cheng ignored the tools and followed the others to search the mountains. As he walked, he used a torch to illuminate the footprints on the ground. , this trail of dragging is very long, leading all the way to the mountains, which is the most suitable place for the big insects to hide.

A group of people went up the mountain all night, all with the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. However, they did not find any sign of the big insect until dawn.

Mr. Cheng was panting with anger. He looked at the footprints on the ground and suddenly couldn't be sure of his judgment. Everyone's trampling back and forth had destroyed all the clues.

"Forget it if you can't find it. Let's go back and have a rest, have a good sleep and have a meal. Otherwise, we will be tortured to death before we get rid of that big insect." The village chief felt so tired that he almost sat down On the ground, other young people were also exhausted. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation after living in this village for so many years.

Mr. Cheng was helped in by the eldest son of the Cheng family. Even at such an old age, he climbed the mountain for a day and a night, and his physical condition had already hit rock bottom.He could no longer move his waist and had to be supported by another person before he could walk back into the house.

"Old man, if you don't tell the village chief, don't go. The whole family is worried about you and no one can sleep." Bai Meixi's mother-in-law knows her husband best. The reason why he works so hard to catch the big bug is because He wanted to avenge the children who were killed by big insects in the village.

But he is no longer in his prime now, and he is powerless if he wants to take revenge.

Now that the big insect has not been found, he has made it like this. If he finds it in the future, he will have to treat it as a snack.

"Nonsense, how can I back down at this time? Next time, I will definitely catch it next time." Mr. Cheng refused to admit defeat and actually did a carp thrust on the bed, hoping to prove that he was fine.

There was a click in the quiet room. Mr. Cheng's waist was sprained, and he screamed in pain.The family couldn't have a restful night. The next morning, everyone had dark circles on their faces and leaned against each other sickly.

But the gongs in the village rang again, and the third search into the mountains began.
