Chapter 22 Calling Name

Huo Siyi turned around and hadn't walked far when suddenly a figure ran up in front of him and kept calling his name.

"Brother Huo, it's not good, something serious is going to happen."

The visitor was his childhood playmate, named Li Xiao, who took great care of Huo Siyi after he came back.

Since childhood, Huo Siyi has always been the eldest brother in the hearts of the children, so when something happens, the first person who thinks of him is Huo Siyi.

So when I saw the other party coming here panting, I thought something big must have happened.

Huo Siyi supported him and said, "What happened?"

"Brother Huo, for some reason, something happened to the crops in the field overnight." As he said this, Li Xiao was about to cry.

These days, everyone's harvest is very little, and every family is living in poverty, relying on the crops in the fields to feed the whole family.

Li Xiao is now married and has children. There are seniors and young children in the family. If something happens in the fields, the whole family will starve to death. How can he not be anxious?

"When did you discover it?" Huo Siyi asked calmly.

"Just when we were about to work in the fields, everyone discovered that the crops had been ruined for some reason," Li Xiao said.

Huo Siyi frowned and said, "Where is it? Take me there and have a look."

Li Xiao agreed and hurried ahead.

He was very anxious, but he still took care of Huo Siyi's legs and didn't walk too fast.

The incident happened suddenly, and Huo Siyi didn't pretend to think about it. He just wanted to go and see what was going on as soon as possible.

When they arrived, people were already standing on the edge of the field, and everyone got out of the way when they saw him coming.

When I saw the fields that used to be full of spring, there were actually very few of them now, and the ones that were left were all staggering.

The villagers around them all speculated whether it was man-made or wild animals.

After all, this has happened before. Wild beasts running down the mountain at night would trample the farm, and the unlucky ones would be ruined until there was no harvest that year.

Huo Siyi didn't think so, "This place is obviously man-made."

Before he could explain why, Liu Lianmei, who was in the crowd, said: "What does this mean? It's man-made without any evidence. I think it was made by wild animals."

The villagers who originally suspected that it was a wild beast all agreed. Liu Lianmei looked at Huo Siyi proudly. Her brother was sent to jail by him and that fat woman Lin Wei, and she would not let them have an easy time.

"Brother Huo, I know you want to do something for everyone, but it has nothing to do with you. After all, you have leg problems and can't work in the fields." Liu Lianmei said, deliberately leading everyone to doubt Huo Siyi. Even if it was artificial, his The most suspect.

Huo Siyi glanced at Liu Lianmei and said: "The ground seems to be chaotic and disorderly, but if you look closely, you can see that the person who destroyed it is doing it regularly, and he only knows the habits of going to the ground." Leave no trace.”

In one sentence, he not only cleared his suspicions, but also revealed that there were no footprints in the ground, which is why everyone suspected that it was the work of wild animals.

"There are no human footprints in the ground. No matter how powerful the opponent is, they can't leave no footprints at all, right?" Liu Lianmei said questioningly.

"But there are also traces of wild beasts, and wild beasts don't learn to hide their whereabouts like humans." Huo Siyi retorted unceremoniously.

Those who destroy things are clever but misguided. It is precisely because the traces are so clean that people can be sure that they are man-made and not beasts.

"Maybe!" Liu Lienmei said firmly.Her strong words and nitpicking style made the villagers who had previously agreed with her begin to believe Huo Siyi's words.

Huo Siyi was born in the military. From the time he came back to now, he has always had a reliable and steady image, and his words are more convincing.

He ignored Liu Lianmei and continued: "If it was really caused by wild animals, it shouldn't be all destroyed, so someone must have deliberately destroyed the crops."

At this time, a villager raised a question: "If this is the case, what will we do in the future? If we can't catch anyone, we will be ruined if we plant again."

Seeing that no one was on her side, Liu Lianmei suddenly became angry, "Humph, who can't say that they have the ability to solve problems?"

Huo Siyi lowered his head and pondered, and Li Xiao was also worried: "Brother Huo, what do you think we should do?"

If someone destroys it, someone will protect it.

He expressed his thoughts: "We can form a convoy to protect the village."

After all, today we are attacking the crops, and there is no telling when we will attack the villagers. The person behind the scenes has not yet been found out. For safety reasons, we need to have the power to protect ourselves.

"Good! That's a good idea!"

After learning about the situation, the village chief immediately shouted: "This is a great idea. Huo Siyi will organize everyone to form this escort team."

Liu Lianmei wanted to say something else, but she couldn't let Huo Siyi steal the spotlight.

At this time Erhu spoke: "I'll join!"

A manly man, the village is threatened, whether by wild beasts or man, so he must do something.

Liu Lianmei held back what she just said. These two tigers can belong to the village chief's family, and they can't offend anyone if they offend the village chief.

Where there is the first, there will be the second. Chen Xiao also stood up and was willing to become one of the forces protecting the village.

The village chief was very excited when he saw this: "Good kids, you are all good kids."

The men in their prime from each family later expressed their willingness to form a guard team. The village chief left the matter to Huo Siyi. After all, the man was a soldier and was calm and steady. Everyone felt relieved if he left it to him.

"We are not in a hurry to form a team. If you are willing, we will gather here tomorrow and make plans." With that said, some villagers stayed to repair the farm while others went home to prepare.

Liu Lianmei, who failed to retaliate against Huo Siyi, was so angry that she turned around and left. When she saw the aunt who was walking with her, she instantly hatched a plan in her mind.

Isn't it just Huo Siyi? She wants to ruin the other person's reputation and end up like that fat woman Lin Kuang.

A fat woman is a perfect match for a disabled person.

Thinking of Liu Lianmei, she quickly caught up with the aunt in the village who loved to gossip and said, "Aunt Xu, wait for me."

"Liu family, what's going on, you're so anxious?" asked the aunt.

Liu Lianmei said: "This is not what happened today. Huo Siyi asked each family to send a man to protect Zhuangzi, but my younger brother is still being framed and imprisoned by Lin Kuang. Even if we want to help, we have no chance."

Aunt Fang, who had learned the so-called truth from Liu Lianmei before, now squeezed over and told the story vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"If you ask me, this was done by a wild beast. Huo Siyi made everyone look like fools." Liu Lianmei said, "Now that he has become the leader of the escort, he is showing off his power and becoming a hero."

Liu Lianmei was disdainful that she was not only a person with weak legs, but also wanted to be in the limelight to see how she could avenge her previous revenge!
But the village chief also made the decision, so she had no choice but to smear Huo Siyi first, and she would not make it easy for him afterwards!
