Chapter 40: Poison in the Soil

Zhao Yuan let out a long sigh and lowered his head, the expression on his face made him look as if he had suddenly aged several years. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at his expression, even if he didn't speak, Yu Zhaodi knew the answer. She stopped talking, and sat silently.

"How can there be so many ants here?" Zhao Yuan asked, pointing to the corpses of a pile of ants on the ground not far away.

"I don't know how to do it just now, but when I was standing in the flower garden, the ants were crawling on my feet. That's quite a few, more in the flower beds outside, and the whole ant nest seems to be dispatched. If you don't know, if you see these ants pouring out of their nests, they think that they are going to be flooded. ”

Zhao Yuan didn't believe it, opened the door and took a look, and sure enough, he saw those ants moving towards the outside of the flower garden one by one. This scene reminded him of something, but it flashed and he couldn't catch it.

At the dinner table, Yu Qing was eating, and kept peeking at Yu Zhaodi, Shen Lingping and Yu Niandi didn't know why, and their eyes shuttled back and forth between their father and daughter.

Yu Zhaodi was worried about the affairs of the Xia family, and wanted to know if Xia Jincheng and Xia Qinglan had found a solution after they went back, but they couldn't go to the Xia Mansion to ask about the situation, so they could only be secretly anxious.

She just lowered her head and picked up the food, and she didn't even eat a bite of the food, let alone see Yu Qing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

In the end, Yu Qing couldn't help it, and opened his mouth first, "Zhaodi, I heard that something happened to the flower garden?" ”

Yu Niandi: "Ah, something happened to the flower garden?" ”

Shen Lingping: "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Zhaodi didn't look up, "You know too?" ”

After asking, she felt that her sentence was a bit redundant, because Yu Qing was working in the flower garden of Situ's family, and she would definitely know what was going on as soon as possible. And such a big thing, now it is estimated that the entire Bian Cheng has spread, she really doesn't know how the Xia family will deal with this incident and how to calm this sudden turmoil.

If this matter reaches the ears of those merchants who have already placed orders with the Xia family, then ...... She couldn't imagine that kind of consequence, losing money was a small matter, and the credibility was ruined, and the Xia family would be able to rise again.

As soon as she thought of this, she felt as if she was in an ice cellar, cold to the bone.

Yu Qing put some food into her bowl, "Eat some food, I know you are in a bad mood because of the Xia family's affairs, but those things should be left to the owner to worry about, and we can't help much." It just so happens that our owner and the young owner have not come to the flower garden in the past few days, and I have already instructed my workers not to talk about the Xia family's flower garden for the time being, and I believe that there should be no news in the city in the last day or two. I hope you will be able to think of a solution in the next few days. ”

The Xia family's flower garden is outside the city, and usually few people go there. When she left, Zhao Yuan had already told the people in the flowergarden not to talk about the matter, but the Situ family's flowerbed was next to it, even if they could hide it from the people in Bian City, they couldn't hide it from the workers in the Situ family's flowerbed. And as long as they say it, it will be the news that the whole Bian City is a sensation.

Yu Zhaodi finally raised her head and looked at Yu Qing, but she didn't expect that this man, who was usually wooden and a little scared, would think of this matter at the first time. If the workers on both sides don't talk about it, then it shouldn't be a problem to keep it a secret for a few days. Although she didn't know if his co-workers would abide by the agreement with him, she was already very touched by his heart for her sake.

She knew that if it weren't for her working in the Xia family's flower garden, he wouldn't need to care about the Xia family's life or death at all.

"Thank you......"

"Silly boy, what's there to thank you for. You're my daughter, who else can I help if I don't help you. "It's a natural thing for a father to care about his daughter, but Yu Zhaodi's eyes are moist.

He said it easily, but she knew the relationship between the Situ family and the Xia family, and he did it, if the people of the Situ family knew about it one day, he would be blamed for one or two.

"Thank you, Daddy......" This time she didn't twist the title of "Daddy" again, just because he dared to do such a thing for her, he could be called a good father.

Yu Zhaodi almost didn't sleep all night, and before dawn the next day, she came to the flower house in a hurry to ask Zhao Yuan about the Xia family, but Zhao Yuan didn't know more than her. She walked to the flower garden in distraught, and the flowers withered more than yesterday, and she just touched them with her hand, and one of them fell to the ground.

Looking at the flowers, which were about the same color as the earth, she sighed endlessly.

Suddenly, some small black spots next to the flower caught her attention, and she crouched down to look, only to see that there were many such black spots on the soil, which did not look obvious because they were also black with the soil.

Yu Zhaodi stretched out her hand, pinched a handful to look at, and shouted in the direction of the flower house in surprise, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao!" Come and see! ”

"What's wrong?" When he came to the flowerbed, she showed him what she was holding.

Zhao Yuan hadn't slept all night, and he was a little unable to walk, and the sky hadn't yet dawned, and his already dizzy eyes were even more blurry, "What is this?" ”

"Ants, dead ants."

"Dead ants? It's not surprising that there are ants in the flower beds, weren't there many yesterday? Zhao Yuan was puzzled, not knowing what her intention was in showing him the dead ants.

Yu Zhaodi pointed to the inside of the flower garden, "There are a lot of dead ants on these soils. ”

"A lot?" Zhao Yuan's eyes swept over the soil, and he could only see a black patch, unable to distinguish which ones were ants and which were soil.

Seeing this, Yu Zhaodi had to observe it herself, and she found that these dead ants on the soil had a common characteristic.

"You see, all the dead ants are headed outward." Yu Zhaodi said to Xia Jincheng, who was temporarily called over.

"What does that mean?" Xia Jincheng also didn't sleep all night,

"It shows that there's something in the soil that makes them want to leave, and that kind of thing is killing them."

"You mean......" Xia Jincheng's eyes widened, "The soil is poisonous!" ”

Yu Zhaodi: "That's why there were so many ants crawling out yesterday." ”

"And that's the only reason why the flowers withered overnight." Zhao Yuan also said, he glanced at Yu Zhaodi with some gratitude, if it wasn't for her carefulness, he wouldn't know what happened at all.

Xia Jincheng stared at this flowerbed and fell into deep thought, "But it was all right before, and no one appeared in the flowerbed on the night of the incident, who has such great ability to sprinkle poison on an entire flowerbed without being discovered......"
