Chapter 174
"Qiu Lin, what's wrong with you, you seem to be haunted by ghosts?" Mei Xiang and He Xiang stood beside the road, seeing Qiu Lin running down the slope with a bamboo basket, the look on his face was obviously for him. What a shock.Seeing Qiulin stumbling, Mei Xiang was really worried that one of them was not paying attention, so she slid down the muddy mud all the way.

He Xiang tugged on Mei Xiang's sleeve, a little unhappy.It seemed that Qiulin was really frightened by something, this girl was not serious, she seemed to be making sarcastic remarks. "Qiu Lin, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Qiu Lin had descended the slope at this moment, He Xiang fell in without knowing it, and wanted to go over to help her.

Seeing someone now, Qiulin felt much calmer, and most of the fear she felt just now disappeared.Looking at other aunts and mothers-in-law working on the road, Qiulin felt that it was not a place to talk, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

At this moment, Qiulin looked at his trouser legs covered with mud, and shook his head involuntarily. Originally, he said that he should be careful not to get muddy.As a result, the man became anxious and frightened, he couldn't care about anything, he pulled up his legs and ran away.

"Si'er, you're back, why is there mud everywhere?" Xu Nanshan was sitting in a wheelchair, scratching strips, and was full of joy when he saw Qiulin enter the house. It can be seen that she looked embarrassed. What happened to Qiulin Road, Xu Nanshan couldn't help but worry.

Qiulin walked to the door of the main room, took off the straw sandals on the shoes, and then replied: "Father, it's nothing." After replying, he took Mei Xiang, He Xiang and the others, and went into the main room.

Qiuyue also came back now, looking better than before. It seems that the eldest sister's apology to Huaihua went smoothly this time.Qiuyue frowned when she saw that Qiulin's trouser legs were covered with mud, "Why is there so much mud, don't you walk carefully."

Qiulin stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Isn't she nervous and scared?Dad has already told me, so please don't grab my trouser legs to talk about things anymore.Qiulin found a wooden basin, filled it with water, and said, "I'm not scared. After two days of rain, the mud in the ground is too soft, and the sandals are covered with mud. I went to the fish pond to wash. In the end, guess what I saw?"

Everyone's appetite was whetted by her, "What did you see?" Isn't this fish pond the most fish, what's so strange about it?
Qiulin was startled and said: "It's a snake, there are many snakes in the fish pond!" Thinking about the scene he imagined just now, it is really frightening.Qiulin patted his little heart to calm himself down.

The girls were a little stunned, "How is this possible? Where did you get the snakes in the fish pond? Qiulin, are you jealous of the fish in other people's fish ponds and see them as snakes? "If there are one or two snakes in the fish pond, they still believe it, but there are a lot of snakes, which is strange.The fish pond is not specially used to feed snakes, so why are there so many snakes?

Qiu Lin shot Mei Xiang a look, she was so frightened, can she tell a lie? "What I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." The few of them would turn pale with fright at the scene.

Seeing Qiulin's plausible words, they no longer doubted, "But, how come there are so many snakes in the fish pond for no reason? Is this really strange?" Could it be that even these snakes are called by Qiulin's family? I'm not fair, knowing that his aunt took over his family's fish pond, so she went to the fish pond to eat those fish fry?
"I don't know if you've noticed, but this year's fishponds don't even have the shadow of lotus leaves. I'm afraid even the lotus seeds in the water have been swallowed into the snake's belly. That's right, it's for no reason. How come there are so many snakes? If you think about it carefully, someone must have put snakes into the fish pond.” Last time Qiu Ya fell into the water and said he was bitten by a snake, Qiu Lin just suspected that someone threw snakes into the fish pond, but now, There are more and more snakes in the fish pond, which is enough to prove that someone deliberately put the snakes in the fish pond, otherwise, it would be hard to explain the pain.And the person who released the snake must have a great grudge with the uncle's family, otherwise he would not have done such a wicked thing.

"Ah! Who is so wicked to do such a thing! Although your uncle's family is indeed extremely abominable, it is also abhorrent to do such a thing that ruins other people's hard work!"

In the countryside, the matter of crops is bigger than the sky. After all, it is related to the livelihood of the family and the food for the family.For destroying other people's crops, no matter the reason is legitimate or not, it is shameless.After all, this is a matter of livelihood. Wouldn't destroying other people's crops mean taking their jobs and letting their family starve to death?So when everyone mentions this kind of thing, it is inevitable that there will be emotions filled with righteous indignation.

Qiu Lin also knew that this matter was a huge deal for the farm family. If not, Qiu Ya wouldn't have been hit by a full ten boards for tearing up a few honeysuckle seedlings in their family last autumn. .

Qiuyue also became cautious, "Last time Qiu Ya was beaten enough, how dare you do such a thing?"

"Then Qiuyue, what should we do now? Shall we go tell your uncle's family and let them pay attention?" Mei Xiang hesitated for a while, after all, the uncle of Qiuyue's family is not a good bird.

Qiuyue pursed her lips, she had no such intention. "Forget it, let's go to her door and tell her about it. Maybe she will think that our family caught a snake and put it in her fish pond. What good things can we say to her? Wait for her I found out, go bite the dog with the person who released the snake." She didn't bother to deal with these bad things, anyway, the snake was not released by their family, but she felt very at ease. "By the way, let's stay away from that fish pond in the future, lest my aunt think we did it. Last time she said she would throw us into the fish pond to feed the fish. We have to stay away from this bad luck." Stay away." Qiuyue said with a look of disgust.

Qiu Lin also nodded when she heard the words, and agreed with Qiu Yue's words.Although they didn't report what they knew, what obligation do they have to report this matter to Mrs. Yan?She hasn't forgotten how the Yan family treated their family before! "No, we can't let our parents know about this, or they will be soft-hearted and tell the uncle's family. It will be bad if the uncle puts this crime on us!"

As the saying goes, retaliation for retaliation, when the Yan family treated their family like that, and even planned to take away the fish pond, Ah Huang even lost his life because of this, every time thinking about this, Qiulin felt like a cat scratching his head.Now she just didn't report the knowledge, and she didn't take the initiative to destroy his family's crops. To treat her like this is already very cheap for her!
"That's right, let's not say anything!" Qiuyue thought it was the same, so she ordered.

"What are you whispering here? Why don't you let your parents know? Could it be that you have done something bad?" Mrs. Han was busy in the stove, scooping the cooked pig food into the pig food bucket. Inside, take the pig to eat.Just after scooping up the pig food, I heard a few girls chattering in the main room, and heard them deliberately lower their voices, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Oh! It's nothing, mother." Qiu Lin quickly replied, "We're talking about the rain just now. Are there mushrooms in the forest? We're thinking about picking mushrooms!"

Oh, so it turned out that this is the case, Mrs. Han knew that these little fellows were working on such things all day long, so she picked up the pig food and went to the pigsty without saying anything.

He Xiang followed Han's busy figure, eyes full of envy. "Qiuyue, I heard that your family caught two piglets this year. Adding last year's wild boars, there are three pigs. By the end of the year, it will be all money!" Now, the life of Qiuyue's family is getting more and more prosperous. .

"Your family is not the same. You have raised several pigs, right?"

He Xiang was a little worried, "Hey, the acorns saved last year have eaten up the pigs, but now the pigs eat rice bran, broken corn, etc. Sometimes there is a lot of trouble, weeds on the ridge of the field, etc. I have to make a living." Her family also raised three pigs, and they were amazing at eating.The acorns hoarded by Piansheng's family were also eaten up.This pig food is really worrying.

After hearing this, Qiu Lin gradually understood.Although this acorn can eat pigs, the fruit will not mature until September and October.From March to September and October, there are still several months.It is indeed a bit worrying.Qiulin couldn't think of any other way, so he comforted him: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so it won't starve a few pigs to death, right?"

He Xiang also thinks so, let's take it one step at a time, if it doesn't work, sell one first. "By the way, we came here today to ask you to pick mushrooms in the forest. After the rain, there must be a lot of mushrooms in the forest. Just thinking about the delicious mushrooms makes my mouth water. Let's go, Let's go to the woods!" He Xiang finally remembered what she and her sister came here to find Qiuyue and the others.

Qiulin looked at the mulberry leaves soaked in the water, thinking that these mulberry leaves can only be fed to Caner after the water is drained, and it may take a while for these mulberry leaves to dry, so he didn't shirk, " Okay, I'll go pick up the basket." Speaking of which, she still misses those extremely delicious mushrooms, and the umami taste of the fresh mushrooms after the rain is not comparable to that of the shiitake mushrooms available in the market.Qiulin felt that her saliva was about to flow down.

Qiuyue said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll go and call Heyi Huaihua and the others. Let's all go together. It will be more lively if there are more people." As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, she ran out of the house without stopping.

He Xiang and Mei Xiang looked at Qiuyue's strength, and she was a little confused. Didn't she have a conflict with Sophora japonica, why is she acting like a normal person now?

Qiulin watched the elder sister's figure disappear into her small courtyard quickly, turned her head to look at He Xiangmei Xiang who was still in a daze, and smiled, "Isn't that how sisters are, after a few days of cold war, they will always reconcile." Qiulin said succinctly.Sophora japonica would do such a thing before, probably because of a momentary thought.Now people have paid the price for this matter, and almost lost their lives.If they still reject her because of this matter, it would be too unreasonable.
