The forced marriage failed, but the poor boy turned around to exorcise demons and save people

Chapter 68 Farmland is drugged

That day, the sky was clear, Qiao Mu had finished her calligraphy practice in the morning, and she was in a daze holding the book given by Matchmaker Tang.

When Song Zhiqing looked up, he saw Qiao Mu sitting by the window, looking through the book as if he was reading something and thinking about something. Half of his face was reflected in the sun, looking particularly well-behaved and delicate.

Song Zhiqing also discovered that Qiao Mu seemed to be becoming more and more beautiful unknowingly.Her skin is fair and delicate, her eyelashes are long and slightly curled, and her eyes are dark and sparkling like gems. At this moment, she has her head half lowered, her eyes motionless, and she is sitting quietly, with the book in her hand spread out on her knees, quietly. , like a fairy who fell into the mortal world, which people can't bear to disturb.

Qiao Mu seemed to be aware of this direct gaze. She seemed to have come to her senses, but she didn't seem to. She slowly raised her head, and her eyes met. She looked into those brown eyes, and there was something slowly wrapping them. She made her heartbeat lose its frequency bit by bit.

Song Zhiqing seemed unwilling to even blink. He had already put down the book in his hand and looked at her gently and tenderly, ambiguous and lingering.

They were not far apart, and the room was not big. Song Zhiqing reached her in just two steps. He bent slightly, with his tall figure looming over him. A strong sense of oppression came over him, but she did not feel anything. Feeling uncomfortable, Qiao Mu suddenly realized that she and Song Zhiqing were so close, but she couldn't even feel the pressure from him.

Her presence and tolerance for him exceeded her previous bottom line for anything.

Unconsciously and silently, Song Zhiqing invaded her surroundings.

She snapped out of it, and this was dangerous.

She never felt like this.

Seeing the change in Qiao Mu's face, Song Zhiqing squinted his eyes. The next moment, he turned around and took her hand. He held the book in his other hand and put it aside: "Let's go. I've been reading for too long. It's not good for my eyes." Okay, let’s go for a walk.”

Feeling the warmth in her palms, Qiao Mu moved her fingers slightly, but did not break away. She followed Song Zhiqing's movements and stood up, followed step by step by him out the door.

"Brother, sister-in-law, are you going out?" Song Keqing was feeding chickens when she heard a voice and asked.

Qiao Mu suddenly struggled, but Song Zhiqing held on tightly, without looking at Qiao Mu, and just responded.

After a few more explanations, Song Zhiqing took Qiao Mu out.

"Let's go take a look at the fields. We haven't been here for several days." The family now has two acres of land, one of which belongs to Song Zhiqing's family and the other to Qiao Mu.

When Qiao Mu took the land back, Qiao Wanjun's family had already planted seedlings, but the day after they returned, all the seedlings were pulled out by Qiao Wanjun's family.

It was too late to plant more rice seedlings, so Song Zhiqing planted some vegetables and waited two months to plant rice and wheat together.

"Yes." Qiao Mu followed Song Zhiqing in silence.The road gradually reaches the edge of the field, which is southwest of the village. The river is here. When planting rice in summer, it depends entirely on the water from the river for irrigation.

From a distance, you can see that the entire farmland is like a whole lawn, green and lush.The rice was growing very well. As they walked on the ridge of the field, there was a breeze blowing, and the green seedlings were like a wave of green waves, rippling layer by layer, which was particularly beautiful and comfortable.

But when he arrived at his own field, Qiao Mu's face suddenly darkened. Most of his seedlings turned yellow and withered.

Song Zhiqing's brows also furrowed tightly. He quickly walked a few steps to check: "It was fine the past two days." He came here and pulled out all the grass two days ago. It has only been a few days, why is it so yellow?

"Zhiqing, are your rice plants sick?" A head popped out of the ground nearby. It was Liu Jianhua. He was pulling weeds. His rice seedlings were growing very well, but a few of the ones near his home had also become dull. Withered and yellow.

"Uncle Liu, how many days have you been pulling weeds?" Song Zhiqing asked Liu Jianhua as he knelt down and took a closer look. "I came over yesterday to pull weeds and saw things like this here. I wanted to find a time to come over and say something." He also frowned and pointed at Song Zhiqing's rice, his eyes falling on the yellowing ones in his own house. : "Go to Uncle Lian and see if you can prepare some medicine and sprinkle it on to cure it. Otherwise, your family may not be able to take care of it this year."

For rural people, crops are their lifeblood. Failure to harvest the crops means they will have nothing to eat for a year, which is equivalent to starving to death.

Starvation is common among them.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Liu." Song Zhiqing stood up and whispered to Qiao Mu, "I was drugged. I smell the medicine."

"Let's go take a look inside that land." Qiao Mu looked coldly and pulled Song Zhiqing away.

Song Zhiqing probably guessed what Qiao Mu meant.The only people in the village who had a bad relationship with them were those few people.

The two came over to take a look, and sure enough, the vegetables grown in their own land had grown to the size of a palm and were ready to be eaten recently, but now they were turning yellow.Most of the land is like this!

"It's your uncle's house!" Qiao Mu gently closed her eyes and quickly pulled away. Her face was calm and her voice was a bit colder.

Song Zhiqing's expression flashed with coldness: "Song Chengze was kicked out of the academy, and he holds a grudge!" He asked why he was so peaceful recently. When he went to town a few days ago, he asked someone to inquire about this matter. Who knew they He has already taken action against himself!

"I'll go find them!" Qiao Mu turned around and left with a decisive killing aura that made Song Zhiqing even look sideways.

But Song Zhiqing reacted the next moment. He grabbed Qiao Mu and said, "No, let's find the evidence first, then the village chief and the clan elder!"

Qiao Mu pursed her lips, feeling a little reluctant. She still dealt with the problem the way she had in the past. If it was the previous life, she would have dealt with it directly.

But in this life, we cannot do it at will.

"I know how they drugged me!" Qiao Mu suddenly said.

Qiao Mu looked at Song Zhiqing. Song Zhiqing almost didn't react for a moment. When Qiao Mu looked over with questioning eyes, he reacted and smiled: "The lady is still awesome!"

"Let's go find Chang Wan first!" Qiao Mu felt bad when she thought of that scene!
"Chang Wan?" Song Zhiqing quickly understood: "It turns out that there were many people involved in the drug administration this time!"

The two went to the village chief's house together, and Qiao Mu described what he saw on the way.

It turned out that Song Chengze had recently lost his proud identity as a child student and had a quarrel with his family. He was unhappy and resentful.

Now Song Zhize's family unanimously believes that it is Song Zhiqing's fault.Moreover, Mrs. Song held the money too tightly. They didn't know what Song Zhiqing said to Mrs. Song that day. In short, they couldn't even go to the county magistrate if they wanted the money.

Later, with no other choice, Mrs. Li secretly stole five taels of silver from Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song scolded her to the end. Now half the people in the village who made the noise knew that Ms. Li, the daughter-in-law of the Song family, had stolen money from her mother-in-law.

So much so that nowadays when the Song family goes out, they are criticized.So the Song family unanimously believed that Qiao Mu was the scapegoat and had to find an excuse to drive their family out of the village or starve to death, so this incident of drugging the crops came about. .
