Chapter 921
Xiao'er shook her head: "This is brine salt." ”
Brine salt is cheaper than coarse salt, but it cannot be used as edible salt, and brine salt is slightly toxic.
The two things look the same, one can poison people if you eat too much, and the other can kill people with thirst if you eat too much.
Leopard Daddy clenched his fists, he didn't expect that she would find a clue about it.
But so what! Even if she knew why the tree was wilting, there was no evidence that he was responsible!
When he poured brine water on the unicorn fruit, it was in the middle of the night, for several days, and he didn't meet half a figure!
After the villagers heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and the village chief looked at everyone and asked, "Who accidentally landed these brine salts here?"
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and denied it:
"It's not my house!"
"It's not me either!"
……
"Not me. ”
Xiao'er looked at everyone's expressions: "I suspect that the unicorn fruit tree was watered with brine water and died." ”
If the plant is regularly irrigated with concentrated brine, the soil concentration is greater than the cell sap concentration, so that the plant cannot absorb water from the soil, and the plant will wilt.
The wilted unicorn fruit felt like it had died of drought, but the villagers said that they saw signs of wilting and carried water to water it.
But apparently, the amount of water poured is still not enough to dilute the concentration of salt in the soil.
The leopard father's face changed, he glanced at Xiao'er, this stinky woman is a smart woman, she even guessed this!
Last night his father was in charge of pouring salt water on this orchard, and it must have been too dark, and when he poured the brine salt into the bucket, he accidentally spilled a little bit on the grass.
When the villagers heard this, their faces were shocked, who was so lacking in morality! It was simply a loss of conscience! Is this an attempt to kill their entire village!
When the village chief heard this, he was so angry that he scolded: "Which wolf's heart and dog's lungs did it! See if I don't kill him!"
"Yes, I broke his leg too, this heart is too bad!
"Could it be that the villagers from other villages did it?"
"Probably not! People from other villages don't know that we are planting unicorn fruits, so they think we are planting overlord flowers!"
"And who did it?"
"Have any of you seen suspicious people walking around at night lately?"
"When it gets dark, I fall asleep, I don't know. ”
"After a long day's work, I was exhausted, and I usually lay down after dark and slept until dawn! ”
The villagers were speculating about who did it, and whether anyone saw who did it.
Guessing and guessing, the target person falls on the people from other villages.
After all, the people in their village have always been very united in everything they do, and they often help each other.
"Did any of you tell anyone from the other villages?" the village chief asked, after a moment's thought.
Because an old man from a neighboring village returned to his hometown, he set up a school in the village to teach the villagers to read and write, so many villagers were able to find good jobs such as tents in the town and city.
As a result, most of the families in the village are doing better than their villages, and the villagers often talk to them, and their daughters who have married in the past are not treated well.
And the women who married from the neighboring villages couldn't raise their heads when they returned to their parents' homes, or they didn't have a good face to look at.
Now the girls from the neighboring villages do not want to marry the boys of their village. It is said that it is hard to come here, and it is not a person inside and outside when I go back to my parents' house!
This led to the incompatibility of the people of the two villages, and the villagers of Huzi and their village tried their best to make a fortune and extinguish the arrogance of the neighboring villages.
The villagers shook their heads again after hearing the village chief's words.
"No, this unicorn fruit is so important, we rely on this for our development, how can I say it!"
"Yes, I reminded myself that I couldn't tell myself about it even last night!"
"Jiaxing, you always like to drink horse urine, have you accidentally told the matter of the unicorn fruit when you are drunk!" the village chief glared at a villager viciously.
"Village chief, for the sake of these unicorn fruits, I haven't been drinking for two months, don't wronged me!"
"It's not you, who's that!" the village chief glared angrily.
"How do I know who it is! Not me!"
Xiao'er saw that they didn't guess who they were, so she said, "As long as you have done it, it will definitely leave traces, let's take a look around!"
Everyone had no opinion when they heard this: "Yes, I will definitely find some clues! Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find him." ”
Xiao'er took the lead and walked around again.
Leopard Daddy couldn't help but be a little nervous, he had been doing this for many days, although he was careful every time, but it was inevitable that there would be negligence, this stinky woman's eyes were too sharp!
No, what can you find except salt, and besides, the brine salt he bought back has been used up last night, and the bucket, everyone has a bucket!
Xiao'er led the villagers around the orchard and found no other evidence.
Everyone was a little discouraged.
Seeing this, Xiao'er said: "Don't worry, I have a kind of wolf dog at home, its nose is very smart, as long as he smells this brine salt, it will find out who has touched this salt, which family's bucket has filled this salt." ”
"Young lady, where is the dog, hurry up and release it, I want to see whose wolf heart was eaten by the dog!"
The leopard father was shocked when he heard this, he had also heard of this kind of dog, and the yamen also had this kind of dog to help with the case.
Daddy Leopard can't wait to rush home and throw those barrels away so that they can be destroyed!
"Don't worry, I have to borrow the dog, I'll come back early tomorrow morning!"
Leopard Daddy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, one night was enough for him to destroy the corpse.
Luckily, they all thought it was someone from the neighboring village!
"Can these fruit trees still be saved?" said the village chief, looking at the wilted fruit seedlings, and said bitterly.
"I don't know how much salt water the man poured into the ground. We have to reduce the salt concentration in the ground first, otherwise the seedlings will not be viable again. Xiao'er explained.
When the villagers heard this, they scolded angrily.
Xiao'er knew that they were angry, and as people who were digging in the soil, they cherished the crops the most.
It usually hurts for a long time to trample on a green vegetable that has not yet grown, not to mention that so many fruit seedlings are withering now.
And such a delay is a little farther away from the day when the villagers can harvest the unicorn fruit.
Although the climate here is relatively warm, unicorn fruit can be planted all year round, but there is also the most suitable time to plant, autumn has arrived, winter is approaching, and winter is definitely not the best time to plant unicorn fruit.
The unicorn fruit grows relatively slowly in winter, and it is strange that the villagers do not scold their fathers.
Since she could only catch someone tomorrow, Xiao'er said goodbye to the villagers.
Everyone enthusiastically chased her carriage and sent her out of the village.
