fruity fragrance

Chapter 200
Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai rushed to the orchard in a hurry, but it was a pity that they were a step late. The fruit trees in the orchard were almost burned, and there was probably only a section of trunk close to the ground left.And the flock of chickens and ducks raised in the orchard for laying eggs and celebrating the New Year have all disappeared.

Looking at the mess in front of her, Lin Guoxiang felt that her eyes were blackened, and she almost lost her breath. Fortunately, the scholar next to her had quick eyesight and hands to support her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

Looking at Lin Guoxiang's ugly face through the firelight, Xiucai was a little worried: "Guoxiang, are you okay?"

"Do you think there's anything wrong?" Lin Guoxiang was in a particularly bad mood at the moment, so she couldn't help being furious when she heard such an "understatement" inquiry from Xiucai, and even the words she said were full of gunpowder, "The orchard is burning." The only thing left is ashes, and you still ask me if I’m okay?” His grandma’s, can’t you see it or something?

But as soon as Lin Guoxiang finished speaking, she immediately realized that her emotions were wrong, and the tone of her words was wrong. Didn't the orchard be set on fire by a scholar?Isn't this an obvious way to vent your anger on him?Although she knew in her heart that what she did was wrong, Lin Guoxiang's stubbornness came up at this moment, and she just stuck her neck and refused to apologize.

Xiucai also knows Lin Guoxiang's temper, not to mention that he can understand that she is in a bad mood now, anyone who has worked so hard and put so much effort into taking care of the orchard is probably not in a better mood if it is set on fire.In fact, seeing the orchard burnt to ashes and turning into such a mess, he also felt uncomfortable. More of it was the guilt towards Lin Guoxiang and the deep disappointment with his eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law Song Dongdong. No, It is no longer possible to simply use disappointment to describe his current mood, it should be said that he is completely chilled by Wang Liu and Song Dongdong.

Now that Xiucai had given up all hope for his elder sister Wang Liu and Song Dongdong, if he could do such a thing like burning his orchard all night, it seemed that they should also plan to completely cut off contact with him.That's fine, I don't know why Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.Originally, he still felt a little guilty and couldn't let go of breaking ties with Wang Liu's family, but now that they have done such a thing with shame, don't blame him for not being sympathetic if anything happens in the future.

In fact, Xiucai was a bit arbitrary, why did he just blame Song Dongdong for not even finding the person who set the fire?But I have to say that Xiucai really knows his eldest brother-in-law too well, so he can guess right after a little guessing.

While taking care of Lin Guoxiang, Xiucai thanked the villagers who came to help, greeted everyone, and cleaned up the scene by the way. The scene was not too chaotic.

"Where are the big dogs in our family?" Lin Guoxiang finally asked suddenly after being silent for a long time, and she looked around for the figures of the dozens of big dogs, "Didn't I ask them to come to the orchard to see them?" Why, such a large group of people can still let people sneak in and set fire to the orchard, what use do I need them for?"

The anger mixed in the tone was not just a little bit, and the chill that came out even the scholar next to him couldn't help shivering when he heard it.He was absolutely sure that if the dozen or so big dogs at home really caused such a big loss this time because of their negligence, Lin Guoxiang would probably be able to peel them all and eat them in hot pot stewed with dog meat.

And the group of big dogs who ran two miles away after the arsonist also suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies, and a chill rose slowly from their hearts, which made these dogs shiver while still not forgetting their doubts He turned his head and glanced around, but didn't find any dangerous objects that were not good for them approaching.

Just when Lin Guoxiang was furiously looking around for the traces of the dozens of big dogs, suddenly a jumping black shadow rushed towards this side quickly, but before running to the distance from Lin Guoxiang's feet, Suddenly stopped where they didn't want to, Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai looked down and found that it was their big dog.

"Boss, where did you die just now? How did you two look at the orchard?" Lin Guoxiang became angry when she saw the big piebald dog, but before she lifted her foot to kick it, the dog The big dog barked twice at Lin Guoxiang, turned around and ran in the original direction without hesitation.

These are several big dogs raised by Lin Guoxiang. They were specially trained by her since she was a child. Although the effect is not as good as that trained by a professional dog trainer, they are quite spiritual and can understand general instructions.Lin Guoxiang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that the boss had discovered something and wanted to take her to see it, or...they had already caught the arsonist? !

The sudden idea behind made Lin Guoxiang's heart jump wildly, and then she gritted her teeth angrily, Yaya, no matter who you are, don't let my sister catch you, or you will have to be stripped. Hanging on the crooked neck tree for everyone to watch!

As for after the visit... Humph, there are plenty of ways to punish him.

Lin Guoxiang held up the corner of her skirt and quickly ran after the big dog leading the way, while gnashing her teeth thinking in her heart that even the scholar chasing behind could hear her grinding teeth.

Xiucai felt a little bitter in his heart, and at the same time silently prayed that this matter should not be related to the elder sister's family, otherwise it would be really difficult.

However, the scholar's luck was too much, and his prayers did not come true.

When Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai were taken to the destination by the "boss", by the moonlight, they happened to see Wang Yuansan who was surrounded by several big dogs and his voice was hoarse from snot and tears. Covered with a thick layer of black ash, two "gullies" appeared on his face because of crying, and the clothes on his body were torn to pieces by those big dogs. How embarrassing.

At this moment, Lin Guoxiang actually calmed down after seeing the murderer who set the fire apart from being a little stunned at first, at least on the surface, but only she knew how angry she was at the moment. That monstrous anger wished to turn into substance and burn Wang Yuansan to the ground.No matter how wrong Wang Yuansan is, he is still just a child spoiled by adults, and burning the orchard is definitely not something that a child can think of, even if he can think of such viciousness. The idea is not fulfilled under the conditions. You must know that Linjiacun and Wangjiacun have to travel for a day by donkey cart.

So thinking of this, Lin Guoxiang took a step back slightly, and glanced at the scholar next to her. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, she didn't plan to interfere in this matter, and the scholar will take care of everything.In fact, to put it bluntly, she was too angry, so she left it to the scholar, because she was afraid that she would do something wrong on the spur of the moment. After all, Wang Yuansan is the child of the elder brother Wang Liang of the scholar. What to do with him, but a scholar is different, he is Wang Yuansan's uncle, and it is normal for an uncle to discipline his nephew.

Seeing Lin Guoxiang like this, Xiucai's mouth suddenly felt bitter, and at the same time, he was half dead with anger, and the veins on his forehead sprouted out one by one like mushrooms after a spring rain. This child Wang Yuansan is really too much.At the same time, he had the same thought as Lin Guoxiang, that is, how could Wang Yuansan, a child, come up with such a sinister method?

But this time there was no need for a scholar to ask, Wang Yuansan told the whole story like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Song Xiaohao asked me to do this, and he threatened me that if I don't listen to him, I will kill you." Make me look good." Of course, he wouldn't say anything about taking two taels of silver from a mouse beforehand, and he wouldn't say anything about his going to the gambling house in the town, or it would only be worse. .
