Chapter 199 Burning the Orchard ([-])

The 24th day of the lunar calendar is commonly known as Xiaonian.

Early this morning, Lin Guoxiang always had a feeling of tightness in her chest, and then her mood became bad. She tilted her head and thought for a long time alone, but she couldn't find out the reason. It's because the scholar didn't sleep well like a wolf guard.Speaking of this, not only Lin Guoxiang resented, but also Xiucai resented. You said that he has been staying in her room for more than three months under the pretext of taking care of her. Why does this damn girl reject him so much?
If Xiu Cai knew what Lin Guoxiang was thinking at the moment, he would probably have to complain all day.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so sullen all morning?" At noon, Xiucai couldn't stand it anymore, and finally asked Lin Guoxiang.Today is the new year, everyone is happy, but she is the only one who is not happy.Although Lin Guoxiang tried her best to pretend to be happy, how could the scholar who was with her day and night fail to see that she was in a bad mood at the moment?At first he thought it was because he missed his future grandpa that he was depressed, so he didn't bother her.But after a morning's observation, Xiucai found that this girl didn't seem to be because of this, no matter how I looked at it, it seemed that she was only targeting him alone.

What's the matter?Treat differently?So the scholar quit. Isn't this a bully? Why should he be sullen when he is a couple who are pleasant to others?
That's why Xiucai asked Lin Guoxiang out of breath at noon.

For the scholar's question, Lin Guoxiang's response was to give him a big roll of the eyes, which made the scholar very depressed.But she also knows that she can't go too far. Although she is in a bad mood and wants to quarrel with Xiucai to vent her emotions, but with Xiucai's meek temper, she probably won't be able to quarrel. If she really wants to quarrel This matter must be a big deal, which means that this guy is really angry.

It is not terrible for a person with a hot temper to get angry, but what is terrible is for an honest and meek person like a scholar to get angry, and he probably won't get any benefits at that time.Thinking about it this way, after appreciating the scholar with a big roll of her eyes, Lin Guoxiang paused for a moment and then answered his question in a somewhat disconcerted voice: "I don't know, I feel tight in my chest after I woke up today, and I always feel like It's like something bad is going to happen."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, what can happen?" Xiucai frowned imperceptibly after hearing Lin Guoxiang's words, but she hid it well before Lin Guoxiang found out, "Don't mess around too. Think about it, or else you will think of something wrong when it is fine."

Although Xiucai said so, he was actually just comforting Lin Guoxiang. For some reason, after hearing Lin Guoxiang's words, he also felt a little bad.Maybe Lin Guoxiang herself hasn't realized that she often says good things that are not very effective, but she is absolutely good at saying bad things, which is definitely comparable to the legendary Crow's Mouth.

Could it be that something happened to the old lady?The first thing Xiucai thought of was Cui's family. As for the Lin family, the whole family is happy now, and it doesn't look like something is about to happen. Besides, there is basically no work in the orchard, just the hundred or so chicken groves. Xiang's older brothers had no work in the field and rushed to feed them. They didn't even have to worry about cleaning the chicken coop. To be honest, he really didn't see what was going to happen.

That's why Xiucai first thought that Mrs. Cui is also sympathetic. Mrs. Cui is now better than before. She can talk and move and can help with work on weekdays. It is too easy for Mrs. Zhang to really abuse her when she is not around.However, Xiucai quickly dismissed this idea. The eldest brother should be at home these few days, and his sister-in-law should not pick this time to "commit crimes".

Dismissing these two possibilities, as for other talents, they don't want to spend more time thinking about it. For him, it's just a waste of brain cells.

……

As soon as Wang Yuansan had breakfast in the morning, he found an excuse to go out. After the new year, Mrs. Zhang stayed at her natal family and never came back. He didn't pay much attention, but as for the disappearance of the dozens of chickens raised at home, he always thought that Mrs. Zhang sneaked back behind his back to catch her natal family, or else she would not give any favors to her because of her brother-in-law. She has lived in her mother's house for so long and still hasn't urged her to come back?
It's not that Wang Liang is narrow-minded and wants to blindly think bad things about people, but he has been married to Zhang for more than ten years, and he still knows her natal brother-in-law very well, not to mention that although he is a bit dull, he is not real I'm so stupid, I still understand some things.Thinking of those chickens, Wang Liang felt angry, and felt that Mrs. Zhang was going too far, sending everything to her mother's house if there was anything in the family, but she would rather watch the three children eat pickles and porridge.

He doesn't object to Mrs. Zhang subsidizing her natal family, but you have to be more or less generous. It's too much for you to ignore the children.Several times, Wang Liang even wanted to impulsively rush to Zhang's natal house, pointing at her nose and questioning: You are so desperate to subsidize your eldest brother and sister-in-law with everything in the house, can you count on them to provide for you when you get old? What's the matter?

But this is just what he thinks in his heart. To be honest, he really doesn't dare to do this. Just thinking about Zhang's sloppy look makes his brain hurt.

Wang Liang was upset because of Zhang's affairs, but after Wang Yuansan ran out of his house, he sneaked to the foot of the hill outside the village with someone on his back. The akimbo was pacing back and forth irritably, obviously waiting for Wang Yuansan to wait a little impatiently.

Seeing Wang Yuansan running over, he immediately spit out the straw in his mouth and strode over: "Why did you come here? Do you know that I have been waiting here for a long time?" In fact, the rat came not long ago, but Waiting for someone and being waited for are completely different things. Anyone who has waited for someone knows that even if it is only a minute or two, it feels like a long time.Anyway, the taste is absolutely uncomfortable, not to mention that the person waiting for someone today has been replaced by the most impatient person like Mouse.

Regarding the mouse's complaints, Wang Yuansan also blocked back unceremoniously: "Do you think I'm like you and no one cares if I don't go back all night?" Huh, who are you, you are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you speak!
One sentence made the rat feel ashamed and angry. If he hadn't thought that he was here with a mission assigned by Song Dongdong, he would have greeted him long ago. How could Wang Yuansan stand in front of him so arrogantly?
"I don't have time to chat with you, let's go." The mouse finally said after a while of luck alone, "I have already found out, the Lin family has sent those long-term workers who look after the orchard to go home for the New Year in the past few days. No one was there at night." Just right to act.Although he didn't say the latter sentence, Wang Yuansan understood and guessed it.

Then the mouse seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing wretchedly: "I heard that there are a lot of chickens and ducks in the orchard of the Lin family, at least no less than a hundred. If we catch all those chickens...hehe... ..." Waiting to exchange those chickens and ducks for money, do you still have no money to go to the casino to play?

Wang Yuansan naturally understood these words, and a smile could not help showing on his pale little face, and the trace of uneasiness and fear that was still in his heart disappeared without a trace because of this instant.

Immediately afterwards, the mouse turned around and went into the nearby grove. After a while, it came out with a not-so-thin donkey, and then rode the donkey together with Wang Yuansan towards Linjiacun.

At night, Lin Guoxiang reluctantly entered the room. Just as she took off her shoes and soaked her feet, she heard a quick knock on the door. Lin Guoxiang frowned and muttered: "Who is this, it's so late..."

Xiucai didn't wait for Lin Guoxiang to open his mouth, so he hurriedly walked out in three steps and opened the door in two steps. Lin Guoxiang couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw Xiucai's burning look, saying that it took so long for Xiucai to look like today Such a hasty performance is really rare, usually he is slow like a snail that can't crawl.

What happened today, it's so abnormal.Lin Guoxiang thought to herself, and couldn't help but quickly picked up the foot cloth on the small stool beside her and dried her feet, put on cotton slippers and followed.

It was Qing He who knocked on the door, she probably ran all the way, I saw her clapping her chest with one hand and holding the door frame with the other, panting heavily, taking advantage of the dim yellow light from the lantern held by Xiucai You can even see the sweat on the tip of her nose.

Seeing Qinghe like this, both Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang were shocked, and Lin Guoxiang even asked her what happened.

After taking a few breaths, Qinghe said to Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai: "Hurry up, hurry up, go to the orchard to have a look, it's on fire, the orchard is on fire and half the sky is red!"

When Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai heard Qinghe's words, their faces changed drastically. Lin Guoxiang even ran towards the orchard without changing his shoes. Eighty percent are man-made.Otherwise, how could a good orchard catch fire?
Xiucai's mind was spinning quickly, except for some jealous people in the village who set fire, then the only one who really offended their family... The answer was so obvious that Xiucai didn't even dare to think about it anymore, and his body couldn't help but slightly A little trembling, I don't know whether to be angry or too disappointed.

But regardless of whether it was what he guessed or not, Xiucai quickly caught up with Lin Guoxiang with a lantern and helped her guide the way.Her right leg is just right, don't break her leg because of the darkness, it will be really troublesome then.

Qinghe notified Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai, and hurried to Lin Sijin and the others to inform them before even saying hello.
