Fleeing from famine and farming: there is space for the full-level boss

Chapter 51

The officer and soldier shook his head: "My lord, I didn't dig anything, but the soil in the yard was loosened, and there were some green vines."

"What green vines? Explain clearly." Li Huai frowned.

The officer hurriedly turned around, and after a while came in with a vine in his hands: "Please look, my lord, this is it."

Li Huai was stunned when he looked at the green vines.

Now it's a severe drought, not to mention the Chu country, as far as their area is concerned, there has been no rain for two consecutive years.

It is rare for crops in the field to grow a single seedling, let alone such lush vine crops.

Li Huai stepped forward quickly, picked up a vine and pinched it, and immediately a full amount of juice came out.

"Is this all dug out of the soil?"

The officers and soldiers shook their heads: "These vines are all scattered in the ground, the soil has been delivered, and the villain found this in the soil."

As he spoke, he opened his right hand, revealing a thumb-sized potato in his palm.

"Lord, please see."

Li Huai reached out to take it, twiddled the potato and studied it over and over again, but he couldn't see what kind of crop it was, so he passed the potato to Chu Zichen.

"Young Master Chen, you are well-informed, let's see what this is?"

Qinghe reached out to take it, and handed it to Chu Zichen.

Chu Zichen took a look at it, pondered for a moment, and said: "It looks round and small, like a pearl, but it looks a bit like a fruit mentioned in a book I once read. It's called white fruit. pregnancy."

He said, handing the little potato to the attendant.

"Qinghe, cut it open and see if there is any red core inside, if there is, it must be born in vain."

"Yes."

Seeing Ruan Xiangxiang over there, she remained calm.

Chu Munan turned his head away, rolling his eyes in his drooping eyes.

Qinghe first washed the potatoes with tea, then took out the dagger and cut the potatoes in two.

However, the flesh inside is light yellow in color, and there is no red core as Chu Zichen said.

Chu Zichen frowned suddenly, dragging his chin with his fingers, looking pensive.

Li Huai rolled his eyes, looked at Ruan Xiangxiang, and asked, "You guys loosened the ground in the yard. Tell me, what is this thing?"

Ruan Xiangxiang rolled her eyes directly, and said angrily: "My lord, this issue has nothing to do with the case, and I have the right to remain silent."

Chu Zichen was originally lost in thought, when he suddenly heard Ruan Xiangxiang's words, he suddenly felt a smile.

"You!" Li Huai was so angry that he wanted to do something, but in the end, looking at Chu Zichen, he only gritted his teeth and choked out a sentence: "Why has nothing to do with the case? In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the case. It's a big deal."

Ruan Xiangxiang cupped her fists: "Why is it so important? Please enlighten me, my lord."

"This thing grows in the backyard of Shopkeeper Cao's house. It looks like it should be edible. Now it's drought and famine, and there are refugees fleeing famine everywhere in the county. When you come to this store, you see the shopkeeper Cao's house. The crops grew so well that they immediately became malicious and killed them so that they could take these crops as their own.

This can also explain why you don't flee immediately after killing someone, but continue to stay here. This is because the crops are not yet ripe, and you have to wait until the crops are ripe to harvest, and then leave with the harvested food. "

The more Li Huai talked, the more he felt that this was the truth.

He couldn't help complaining about shopkeeper Cao, why should he enjoy such a good crop for himself, instead of sharing it for their big family to enjoy.

If he likes to eat alone, he deserves to be targeted by robbers.

It's just... the group of robbers in front of me, orphans and widows, really don't look like them.
