Chapter 103 Potato seeds being planed

Liu Qingcao was working on an ox cart, left Lu's house unsteadily, and went to the market in Qianfeng Town again.

"Brother Pan, is your body still able to bear it recently?"

Liu Qingcao looked at the man in front and said.

Pan Yong didn't look back, he watched the direction of the bullock cart, and his voice was loud.

"Girl, my body has recovered and I feel better than before my injury."

Liu Qingcao nodded thoughtfully, did not speak anymore, and was thinking alone.

The bullock cart drove to the market, and Liu Qingcao bought forty eggs, ten catties of flour, and ten catties of cotton.

I still have the rest at home, so I didn't buy any more.

On the way back, Pan Yong asked curiously.

"Girl, did you buy cotton so early?"

"It's better to buy it early. Autumn will pass by in a flash. I'm afraid it will be too late."

It's not that Liu Qingcao saves that little money and doesn't buy ready-made ones, but that she has her own ideas, and she doesn't like the simple and rough bedding in the town.

"That's what the girl said."

Outside Liu Qingcao's yard, Jiang Dafu came and went, came and went, repeated three times, Chen Cuizhi was in the yard, watching him go back and forth, his brain hurts.

She had never seen such a stubborn person as Jiang Dafu, who asked him to sit and wait in the yard, but refused, and asked him to say something, but he didn't say anything, just ran back and forth like that...

two hours ago...

In Jiang's house, Wang Chunhua finished washing the clothes at home and started tidying up the house.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door from outside. The sound was urgent. Wang Chunhua was urged by the sound, and hurriedly dropped what she was doing and ran outside.

"Here we come, we come." Wang Chunhua's crisp voice sounded, and the knocking on the door stopped.

"Xiangxiang? This is you?"

Looking at Shang Xiangxiang's red and swollen eyes, Wang Chunhua spoke in surprise.

"Sister Wang, someone is digging our land. It was just planted last night. I went to see it this morning, and it was digged everywhere."

The corner of Shang Xiangxiang's mouth twitched, and she began to cry. These days, they got up early and worked late, and they worked hard and tired to plant the potatoes, but they were gouged away by thieves in the middle of the night. How could she not feel sad.

Surprised by what she said, Wang Chunhua hurriedly closed the door, and took Shang Xiangxiang to her own field to check.

The fields of their two families are close to each other. If Tianlin's family is planed, their own land may also suffer.

"Xiangxiang, don't cry, let's see if there is not much suffering. If not, we can even it out again, and we can still get some out." Seeing her crying sadly, Wang Chunhua comforted her.

"Sister Wang, you said you just collected the food, why did someone start stealing things!?"

Shang Xiangxiang was puzzled, for so many years in their village, they had never heard of anyone being burglarized, so how could they be missed by recruiters just after the autumn harvest this year.

"I'm not sure about this. When Dafu comes back, I'll tell Dafu. If it's someone from another village, we'll be more on guard."

Wang Chunhua shook her head and answered with some uncertainty.

If this matter is done by other villages, it will be easy to say, but if it is done by people in your own village, it will be troublesome.

"Sister Wang, I don't think it's made by people from my own village." Shang Xiangxiang calmed down and began to analyze with Wang Chunhua.

"Xiangxiang, did you find something?"

"Sister Wang, the footprints in the ground are all about one card long, like children, and they didn't dig them all away, they just dug a nest at intervals..."

"According to what you say, it's almost inseparable."

Wang Chunhua nodded. She thought Shang Xiangxiang was right. The people who sliced ​​potatoes should be children. Only they would have no food.

"Then what..." Shang Xiangxiang frowned, not knowing what to do, if it was a child, then the potatoes would be planed as soon as they were cut, and she had nothing to reason about, let alone any compensation.

"Let's go and see if there are any other places. If there is a lot of digging, these children have to find them." Wang Chunhua quickened his pace and walked towards the potato field.

These potato seeds are their tax money for next year. If they dig too much, they will lose a lot.

If that was the case, she would have to ask Dafu to find them sooner and bring back all those potato seeds.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Chunhua and Monk Xiangxiang rushed to the place where the potatoes were being planed and planted, out of breath.

Originally, the undulating land was somewhat flat, but now there was a pit in the east and a bag of soil in the west. It was not very comfortable to look at.

"Jiang Li's family has also been planed out, as has Uncle Zhao's."

Wang Chunhua looked at the piece of land next to the head of the village, which more or less had been planed again.

"That's right, Sister Wang, they planed side by side, probably two or three hundred catties of potato seeds."

Shang Xiangxiang frowned, looking at the mess around her, both distressed and angry.

"Let's go back." Wang Chunhua's voice choked up slightly, and she felt uncomfortable.

The two returned home worried, waiting for Jiang Dafu to return from the next village.

"Girl, isn't that village chief Jiang in front? Why do I look anxious?"

Pan Yong looked at the anxious people walking around outside the courtyard, and asked.

Liu Qingcao raised her head and looked forward, seeing that the person was indeed Jiang Dafu, she was a little puzzled.

This period of time is the day when the potato seeds are finished. Everyone must be very busy, and there is no time to visit. How could he appear here? Could it be that there is something urgent.

Jiang Dafu heard the sound of the wheels of the ox cart, and ran up in a hurry before the two came back.

"Qingcao, you are back."

"What's the matter, Brother Jiang, is something wrong?"

Liu Qingcao asked Pan Yong to stop the bullock cart and get off from above.

"Green grass, the potatoes we planted were dug up by someone last night. I searched around, but I couldn't find anyone..." Jiang Dafu was angry and anxious.

If the potato seeds were not found sooner, they might end up in their stomachs by then. Almost [-] catties of potato seeds, how many potatoes should they get next year? I don't know who the hell is going to attack the seeds in the ground.

After hearing this, Liu Qingcao's expression changed. During this period of time, Shihe Village's behavior was too abnormal, which would inevitably attract the attention of others. However, stealing the seeds in the field was too much.

"Brother Jiang, why don't we go to the field first and think about remedial measures." Liu Qingcao turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

She has to go and see how much has been planed. If there are not many, she can arrange to plant something else. If there is a lot of planing, she has to take some out of the space to make up for it.

Moreover, those people must have tasted the sweetness of being stolen for the first time, and it won't be long before they will steal again, and she has to find a way to stop it.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the potato seeds, but that the potatoes were planted in the ground, and they would germinate in a short time. People who sneaked around didn't know that those germinated potatoes would kill people if they ate them.

She didn't want to take several lives on her back for no reason because of this.

Stealing is shameful, but not death.

Liu Qingcao and Jiang Dafu came to the land at the head of the village and stood in the field. Liu Qingcao walked around quickly and planed some potatoes in the field.

Jiang Dafu stood aside and watched Liu Qingcao's actions quietly, wondering why she did this.

When Liu Qingcao stopped, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Qingcao, what are you doing, I don't understand."

"Brother Jiang, you can't eat these potatoes if they germinate. If you eat them, you'll be poisoned. If you don't do it, you might die. I just dug up and looked. This piece was planted late and hasn't germinated yet."

"Then let's put up a sign here. When thieves see the sign, they won't come to steal potato seeds again."

Jiang Dafu propped his chin and spoke thoughtfully.

Liu Qingcao shook her head and said firmly.

"This method won't work. Let's not say that these thieves can't read or write. Even if they can read, they won't stop there. Ours must first catch them."
