Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 152 Arson, Killing Intent (4)
Zhang Xiaocao also put it on, secretly thankful that all the cotton in the field had been harvested, otherwise, after this rain, the loss of [-] acres of cotton would be great!
Everyone's good mood was not affected by the heavy rain at all, and they were all discussing enthusiastically!After picking the cotton for a few days, everyone knows how much cotton they picked in total. The 8 mu of cotton is piled up in those empty houses. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain. It's done, but there are more than 1 catties of cotton, even if it is converted into silver, it is more than [-] taels of silver!

What is the concept of more than 1 taels of silver?
All of them have never even seen 50 taels of silver, so they can't imagine how big a pile of more than 1 taels is, but undoubtedly, it is impossible for them to earn in their entire lives!Therefore, with new hopes, they are more and more eager to plant cotton as soon as possible. They don't dare to expect tens of thousands of taels of silver, but they still think it is possible for tens of taels or hundreds of taels!

"If Mr. Le can agree to sign the contract with me, next year I will definitely plant all the land at home with cotton. By that time, I can earn dozens of taels a year by devoting myself to farming cotton, which is much more cost-effective than growing grain!"

"That's right! I don't think it's more difficult to grow cotton than rice. If Mr. Le agrees to grow it in my family, I plan to grow it too!"

"Anyone who doesn't plant is a fool. However, we can really plant, but we have to be careful not to leak the secret of cotton, or we won't be able to earn it!"

"It's up to you to say, we are not fools! It's just that it's too early to say this now, we have to wait for Mr. Le to come and sign a contract with him before we count!"

Zhang Xiaocao looked at their hopeful faces with a smile, listened to their conversation seriously, and felt very satisfied in her heart. This kind of life is what she yearned for, without the intrigue of the mansion, and the intrigue in the mall. Nuan, listen to gossip, these days are really comfortable!
Zhangjia Village was far away, and Zhang Xiaocao sat up straight, looking at the thatched cottage standing alone in the wind and rain at the head of the village, and her heart suddenly became warm. When the cotton was harvested and the busy farming was over, she immediately found someone to build a house. The blueprint has already been drawn in my heart!

"Hey, Xiaocao, look, your house is smoking, is it on fire?"

Aunt Liu exclaimed, interrupting Zhang Xiaocao's daydreams. She looked quickly, and sure enough, she found black smoke billowing from the house, permeating the vast rain.

"Could it be, is the sixth aunt cooking?"

Liu Shi, who was in the same car, squinted and said uncertainly.

"I don't think so. There is so much smoke coming from cooking. It must be on fire. No, we have to get out of the car and hurry over to have a look. Don't cause any serious problems!"

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Dazhu quickly stood up and looked at it, and said anxiously.

And Zhang Xiaocao was already at the stall where he was talking, so she jumped out of the car before he could call for a stop, passed through the rain curtain, and ran quickly with his feet, and ran towards the house.

Seeing this, everyone jumped out of the bullock cart one after another, and ran all the way towards the hut.

When everyone approached, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them!

In the yard, Grandma Zhang was lying motionless on the ground. Her body was already soaked in rainwater. Zhuang Zhuang squatted beside her, crying bitterly one after another, calling "Grandma, aunt" non-stop!
The whole thatched hut has been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. The fire is pervasive and scorching hot. When you get close to it, you feel your skin is hot, as if it is about to catch fire. The thick black smoke dissipates into the air through the cracks in the roof. A pungent smell is spreading everywhere!
"grandmother!"

Zhang Xiaocao's eyes were about to burst, her legs gave way, and she almost fell to her knees. She staggered and ran over to her grandma, stretching her right hand tremblingly towards grandma's neck until she felt a faint beating from her hand. , she let go of her high-pitched heart, and wanted to help grandma up, but her body was so weak that she almost fell to the ground, and was just held by Aunt Liu who was running over.

Then came Zhang Dazhu, squatted tall, and shouted at the others: "Hurry up and help Liugu up, let's send it to Dr. Li!"

Everyone quickly stepped forward and helped Grandma Zhang onto Zhang Dazhu's back. Zhang Dazhu stood up, carrying Grandma Zhang on his back steadily, and stepped out of the yard in three steps at a time. Several people rushed to help!
Some people hurriedly looked for something that could hold water, and ran towards the Ning River!Although everyone knows that the fire is too big and the thatched house is, even if the fire is extinguished, nothing can be saved!
Zhang Xiaocao stood silently on the spot, neither followed nor organized people to put out the fire, but her face was so gloomy, her hands were tightly clenched, her shallow nails were embedded in her flesh, oozing bright red blood without knowing.

The courtyard was very quiet, the crackling sound of the fire, like firecrackers, rang in everyone's ears, everyone did not speak, looking at the house destroyed by the fire, everyone was heavy and did not know how to comfort them This thin girl!
Zhang Xiaocao looked at the house, furniture, and recently picked cotton that had been engulfed by the fire. There was no anger or heartache in her eyes, only a devastating chill, as if everything no longer existed in her eyes.

Seeing such a cold and ruthless Zhang Xiaocao, everyone shuddered. Facing her like this, everyone felt panic from the bottom of their hearts.

The silence didn't last long before it was broken by a hoarse voice: "Zhuang Zhuang, tell aunt, who knocked your great aunt unconscious? And who set fire to the house?"

Zhang Xiaocao squatted down, looking at Liu's embrace with eyes full of blood, obviously frightened Zhuang Zhuang, suppressing strange emotions, asked in a low voice.

Zhuang Zhuang was sobbing non-stop, his originally ignorant eyes were full of panic, he looked at his little aunt timidly, and suddenly threw himself into her arms, crying loudly, and said inarticulately while crying: "I don't know you." ... a lot of bad guys... six bad guys rushed in with big sticks... snatching white flowers, auntie... auntie wouldn't let them, they beat and beat auntie, auntie couldn't get up... Zhuang Zhuang shouted She, she doesn't move...it's raining...the bad guys set fire...burn white flowers, burn down the house..."

Zhuang Zhuang repeated his intermittent words several times before everyone understood. They all looked angrily at the house cotton that had quickly been reduced to ashes, wishing to catch the six thieves immediately and beat them to the ground. Dare to blatantly come to their Zhangjia Village to kill and set fire, that's too arrogant!

Zhang Xiaocao stood up slowly, her thin body seemed to contain huge energy, she walked in front of the folks, her blood-red eyes were full of endless coldness, she glanced at everyone, bent at ninety degrees, followed heavily They bowed, stood up and said resolutely: "Uncles, my family is in a catastrophe, and the murderer has not been caught. I am here to ask the big guys for help, and see if I can find the murderer! They released it when it rained." Huo, now half an hour has passed, whether I can find it or not, I thank everyone here!"
