Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 191 The Night Fright
"Squeak~squeak~"

"Little raccoon, don't make noise, I know she's leaving! It's getting late, we have to go back and cook for mother! Let's go!"

The little fox looks at Mengyuan again, it also likes this little girl, but Jingtai won't let him get close to her!

After Mengyuan touched the snails, which were about two large plates in size, she lifted up the basket. The fish can't stay out of the water for too long, and she must go home as soon as possible!

She came home with a full load, but in the current Mengjia, when Mengxiong came out to find his daughter and wanted to apologize, he searched the whole house and did not see her daughter, and what disappeared with her daughter was the little basket she often carried on her back!

"Yunniang, look at your mother-in-law at home. I'll go find Mengya. She may have gone into the mountains. It's getting dark. If she doesn't come back, I'm afraid something will happen again!"

"You go, I think there will be nothing wrong with my mother! Sigh, this is not the way to go, or you should go to Qingshui Village to pick up your younger brother and sister-in-law tomorrow, Meng Ya also said something is wrong Can I do it for them?"

"Well, I'll go find Mengya first!"

"Who are you looking for? I'm back! I caught a few fish, let's cook them tonight! Dad, after finishing the crucian carp, I'll make fish soup for my mother and grandma later!"

"Mengya, you went to the mountain again? Didn't I tell you not to go to that place again? Why are you so disobedient? If something happens to you, what will you ask your parents to do?"

"Er... mother is not as serious as you think, I am back safely now? Okay, let's not talk, let's prepare dinner first! Also, dad, I'm sorry today, I will definitely not next time Spend money so extravagantly!"

"No, then I'm also at fault. I shouldn't have talked to you so loudly, and dad also said sorry to you!"

"That's right, we are a family, what can't we talk about? Well, Brother Xiong, go and clean up the fish! It just so happens that the mother flashed to the waist, cook some fish soup for her to nourish her body !"

"Well, that's what I thought, but Dad, don't kill the biggest fish when you deal with it later, I'm going to take it to Yuefulou tomorrow!"

"Oh, okay, it just so happens that I'm going to Yue Fulou to deliver stewed pork tomorrow. Let's go together tomorrow, father and daughter!"

"Well, okay, then let's buy two people and come back by the way. In the experimental field, we can't just rely on officers and soldiers to help patrol. I can't trust them. We still need our own people to guard it!"

"Buying people, is this too much? We are just ordinary people, this business of buying and selling people..."

"Father, I admit that this is a human trafficking, but it is also a guarantee for our own property safety. There are only a few people in our family, and my grandma is down to her waist because of exhaustion. If we buy people and have more labor, then what's the matter?" It won't happen!"

"Brother Xiong, let's just listen to Mengya. Let's spend money on things that can be spent with peace of mind. We can earn money when we lose it. It doesn't take much money to buy people now. Instead of keeping it like this, it may not be a good thing in the future." Who is it for, why don't we buy someone back, at least we can meet people?"

Two to one, I have no room to speak now!Besides agreeing, he still agrees, right?

"Well, then listen to my daughter, let's go to the tooth shop after the stewed meat is delivered tomorrow."

Meng Yuan thought that she would lobby for a long time, but she never thought that she would settle her parents so happily!

Except for the one that will be taken to Yuefulou tomorrow, the fish caught back will be slaughtered by her father, and they will have a whole fish feast tonight.How can I say that fish fry were released in their experimental field today, and it also alarmed the county magistrate, the biggest official in Buyang Town, so we must have a good celebration!

Meng's family is rejoicing, but those whose paddy fields are close to Mengxiong's are not happy!

"My son's father, don't think too much about it. Even the county magistrate has been invited here. Even the county magistrate has said that the big house of the Meng family's fish farming in the field is supported by the government."

"I know, but I just can't swallow this breath! Our family has already owed a lot of debts to treat my mother's illness. Originally, the ten taels of silver were about to be obtained, but at this time the magistrate came. The silver is gone, I..."

"My son's father, don't do anything stupid, there are officers and soldiers patrolling the experimental field of Mengjia Dafang, if the officers and soldiers catch you, what will you do with me, the child, and the mother-in-law? "

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid!"

Even if he does something stupid, as long as he can't find evidence, he can't be helped, right?Since he can't get money, then don't even think about raising Mengjia's fish!

The experimental field, very good, I want to see if your experimental field can really grow fish and increase food production!
There is a kind of person who doesn't want others to get what he can't get.And the most common feeling in the countryside is that my family is not doing well, so don't your family!The daily comparisons of city people are the clothes and accessories they wear.The idea of ​​rural people is very simple, better than anyone else!

Now Mengjia Dafang seems to have squeezed into the ranks of wealthy families from a shabby household.And those villagers who looked down on Mengxiong before were naturally unbalanced in their hearts!
Mengjia is busy celebrating today's successful release of fish fry, but now they are thinking about how to destroy Mengjia's experimental field!

The sun gradually set, and the ordinary and simple mountain village began to quiet down!In the dark night, a dark shadow escaped the people in the village and the earth dog and touched the field.

Based on the impression, Hei Ying'er came to the edge of Mengjia's experimental field, and threw a paper bag in his hand towards the ditch in the field!Because he was afraid of being seen, he didn't sprinkle the powder in every ditch, but just sprinkled some in a ditch in a hurry and left!
After dinner, Mengyuan's right eyelid kept twitching.It is said that the left eye is good and the right eye is bad. I only put fish fry in the field today. Is it possible...?

Meng Yuan was frightened by her own thoughts, she denied it over and over again, but she was still worried.

"Father, get up, get up, you go to the field with me, I feel a little panicked, I want to go to the field to see how the fry are doing!"

Mentioning the fish fry, Mengxiong's sleepy head also cleared up a lot.After lighting the oil lamp, I took my daughter and walked to the edge of the field!

At this time, the village is extremely quiet, with occasional barking of dogs.

The father and daughter rushed to the field quickly, and walked around the ridge of the five-acre paddy field. Mengyuan found a new footprint in the field!
At the beginning, considering that the fish could be caught by standing on the ridge of the field after the fish grew big, I made a special plan when opening the ditch. The fish in the fish must go to the field, let alone the children!
Moreover, according to the length and width of this footprint, it cannot be left by a child!However, there is only one footprint, that is, the person stepped on the field ridge with one foot and in the water with the other foot!
"Father, come here. There is a new footprint here. It seems that you have just stepped on it not long ago. There is no water in this footprint."

"Mengya, it's not good, there are fish fry turning their stomachs!"

Before Mengxiong came over, what he said made Mengyuan look at it in a blink of an eye. In this ditch next to this footprint, fish turned their bellies one after another~!

"Father, hurry up, seal the openings of this ditch that flow to both ends!"

Only the fish fry in this ditch next to the footprints turn white, which means that someone put something that shouldn't be put in this ditch!As long as the opening of this ditch leading to other places is sealed, the fish fry in the five-acre experimental field can still be kept!

Mengxiong did not doubt that he followed what his daughter said, and quickly pawed at the mud on the side of the ditch with both hands to seal the opening!

"Looking at the situation, Mengya, there is no hope for the fish fry in this ditch. I hope nothing will happen in other ditches!"

"Well, don't worry, we'll find out soon! If it's later, or if we come to see it after we get up tomorrow, our experimental field will be a joke in the village!"

"Who is so cruel? Our family has never offended anyone. Is it necessary for him to treat our family like this? Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it really comes tomorrow like you said, so many fry , Not to mention the transportation fee, just the cost of the fish fry is a lot of money!"

"Father, it's not that we offended people, so they will retaliate against us. On the other hand, we didn't offend anyone, it's just that some people don't want our family to live a good life! For the safety of the fry, I have to trouble Dad tonight You are guarding here, and father will probably not be able to go to town tomorrow!"

"Oh, why are you going to the town? How could father have the heart to go to the town when something like this happened! But you, you said before dinner that you wanted to buy someone, and you will go to the town to look for it at dawn tomorrow. Old Li, let him guard you, you are young, dad is afraid that you will be cheated!"

After what happened just now, Mengxiong also realized the labor shortage at home~!If he doesn't buy someone back, he will have to run across the fields at home by himself, which may be fine in the short term, but if he has to wait until after the autumn harvest, it will be really embarrassing!
"Well, I'll go back and get you a coat first. Although there are more mosquitoes in summer, the dew should not be underestimated."

"It's...it's so dark, why don't you bring it here, it's fine for dad to make a living here all night, don't worry about you little kid walking around at night!"

Meng Yuan looked at the oil lamp in her hand.The flickering flames, coupled with the fact that the mountain village was much quieter than ordinary villages.Just now she was brave enough to say that she would give Mengxiong the coat when she came back, but now she is thinking about whether she can walk home without trembling or not is still a problem!
