Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 394 A human life

“I really don’t know what to say about this matter…”

Bai Sancheng sighed, with a tangled face, "Isn't it because we finished harvesting wheat at home and didn't pick up the ears of wheat in the field..."

“What happened? It was also picked up by others?”

"It's not good." Bai Sancheng sighed again, "I don't know who picked it up. We have to find this person early, otherwise, we may suffer a big disaster."

"What do you mean? I'm just picking up some ears of wheat in your house, so why did I get into a big disaster? Even if this kind of thing goes to the yamen, the county magistrate probably won't care about it."

After all, it is a matter of losing wheat ears in the field. They were picked up on the ground, not removed from your wheat stalks. If you were to pursue the matter, I'm afraid they would have to quibble and say that no one picked them up, so they were just yours. No more.

And when there are things like wheat ears falling in the fields, it is difficult to measure how many there are. If the opponent bites them to death and says there are only a few, there is no evidence.

 “How can it be so cheap?”

Bai Sancheng shook his head and waved his hands, his face becoming more and more ugly, "It's my fault for this. Didn't you put manure on the wheat in the field earlier? When you were carrying manure into the field, you accidentally dropped the henbane planted in the yard. I didn’t worry about it when I went in, and I didn’t notice it until after the watering was finished.”

“It’s like there are henbane in the ground, and there are henbane in the wheat seeds. Those ears of wheat that fall on the ground must also be stained with this thing..."

“Uncle Sancheng, what is the fairy today?” The man asked hurriedly, “Why do you think it is such a big deal?”

"The henbane is a kind of medicinal material, which is useful for stomachache, asthma, and madness. However, the henbane is talking about medicine, but it is also poisonous. It is very toxic. If you eat it, within half an hour, this person will be dead. My mouth will become dry, my throat will burn, and then I will start to convulse and fall into coma..."

"No, Uncle Sancheng, wait a minute." The man was suddenly startled, "Don't you think that the wheat your family planted, the wheat you harvested, and the wheat ears in the field are all poisonous?"

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, my family is recycling wheat and has not even gone to the threshing field. It is ready to be sorted by myself. It is used as medicinal materials. You have to be sure of the amount. Looking at this posture, I estimate that three or four wheat grains will be enough. Enough. If there are more than five grains of wheat, the person will be easily poisoned. If he eats this for five cents or one tael, he will definitely die..."

Hearing what Bai Sancheng said with such determination and sorrow, the man's eyes suddenly widened with shock, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

By the time he came to his senses, Bai Sancheng had already gone to Bai Kangyuan's house with a sigh, saying that he needed to talk to Zheng Zheng to see how this matter would be resolved.

 After all, it would be difficult to pick up the ears of wheat in his field and then eat the dead people.

The man didn’t even think about it and hurriedly told others about this earth-shattering incident.

So, in less than half a day, everyone in Baijia Village knew that the land of Bai Sancheng's home was contaminated with poisonous herbs and could not be eaten. The person who picked up the wheat ears in his home's land would be in bad luck. .

“I don’t know whose family picked it up, so I have to tell him quickly, but I won’t be able to eat it.”

“I’m afraid it’s too late now. That man has stolen so many ears of wheat from the field that he probably doesn’t even remember who he picked them from.”

"It's too late or not. I'll tell you if I know it. If I grind it into flour and eat it, wouldn't a human life be lost?"
