Chapter 96: The Thief
Accompanied by Arden, Willy arrives at the land where Started Snow Root is planted.
"Master Tun. ”
A tun man about Arden's age saluted Willy. He and Arden had kept vigil together last night, and he was very worried that something like this had happened. The loss of sixty Kinram would not make up for a tenth even if he and Arden were sold.
Willy nodded at him slightly, gestured.
This made the young tun min's heart calm a little, at least on the face of the tun elder, there was no trace of anger.
"Grow Tun, the two star-spotted snow roots that were bitten are here. ”
Arden led Willy through the fence and pointed to the corner.
Willy and Arden walked over together, then crouched down.
"This is it. ”
Arden pointed to the ground, where the two star-spotted snow roots with bitten roots were still in the ground and had not been taken out, because Arden was afraid that he would destroy the scene and increase the difficulty of exploring the root cause in the future.
Willy's head lowered slightly.
I saw two star-spotted snow roots skewed on the ground, the upper part of the stems and leaves were intact, but they had withered yellow, and the lower part, the roots that had grown in the soil before, had been eaten clean and exposed to the ground.
Willy's brows furrowed slightly, this thief who stole the star-spotted snow root seemed to be very knowledgeable, a star-spotted snow root, its main nutrients are all concentrated in the roots, and the upper part of the stems and leaves are very limited.
Willy picked up one of the Starspotted Snow Roots and examined its rhizome carefully.
He found that at the root of the Starspot Snow Root, there were rodent-like bite marks.
"It seems to be a trace left by a mouse......"
Arden also saw the shape of the bite mark.
Willy shook his head gently, this can't be a rat's bite, if it was really a rat's doing, they can't just bite off the rhizome, leaving only the upper part of the stem and leaves, they will eat the stems and leaves first, and then dig out the roots and eat them.
In addition, there were no traces of soil stirring in the vicinity of the two star-spotted snow roots. Besides, if a rat did dig into the soil, it would definitely be heard by the two Ardens.
"Huh?"
Willy subconsciously pressed the soil, and suddenly found that the land where the two starspot snow roots were planted had become soft and fluffy.
He pulled it twice, and easily flipped the dirt away.
Something is wrong, the soil is like it has been dug underground.
Willy grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand and moved it down, only to see a small black particle appear on top.
"It's ......"
Willy's eyes suddenly showed a strange color.
He put the small black particle in the palm of his hand, sniffed it gently, and then crushed it, and a faint smell of medicine came from inside.
Willy suddenly laughed, he didn't expect that such a little guy would come to Fandoutun.
"Master Tun, what is this?"
Seeing the smile on Willy's face, Arden felt extremely bizarre.
With such a big loss, and I don't know what is in the black hand, why is Tun Elder not worried at all, but still a little happy?
"A kind of animal droppings. ”
Willy placed the small black particle in Arden's palm.
"Is this?"
As a child who had always grown up in the countryside, Arden didn't mind the dirty stuff at all.
He took the little dung, and the faint fragrance entered the tip of his nose.
"How is this possible?"
Arden looked at Willy with a surprised expression, this small black particle looks very smooth and fragrant, what kind of animal feces, not only does it not smell, but also has a medicinal fragrance?
"What kind of animal is this?"
Arden asked Willy, puzzled.
Willy shook his head lightly and did not answer directly: "Don't worry, I'll keep vigil with you tonight to find out this thief." ”
"...... Tonight"
Arden was calmed by Willy's calm and seemingly grasped indifference, worthy of the Tun Elder who not only did not care about the loss of sixty Kingham, but also had such a wealth of knowledge. It is a great honor to be able to do things under the hands of Tun Lord.
"By the way, if you dig deep into the soil under the roots of these two star-spotted snow trees, you should be able to dig out a lot of this small particle feces, don't throw it away, this is a high-grade natural fertilizer, collect it, dry it and grind it into powder, add it to the plant ash, there will be unexpected fertilization effects. ”
Willy methodically commanded, "Also, don't throw away the stems and leaves of these two Starspot Snow Roots, save them, and sell them to the Divar family for ten gold lums, and they will accept it." ”
Although the main nutrients are in the rhizome, the upper part of the stem and leaf is also of some value and cannot be wasted.
"Yes, Master Tun. ”
Arden beckoned another young man and worked together on the land.
At this time, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the people of Fandoutun have begun to come to work on the land.
Although the main plants have been planted, the hard-working people still insist on getting up early to fertilize and water the beans, and planting some simple and easy-to-grow small vegetables.
When the people saw Willy, they all took the initiative to say hello, but everyone was very curious that the Tun Elder took the initiative to come to the land. This is rare, because the Tun elders rarely handle the specific affairs of Fandoutun in person.
"Arden!"
Willy was just about to return home for breakfast when he suddenly heard the sound of old Joel shouting from a distance.
I saw Old Joel holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, and hurried towards this side angrily.
Just now, Old York heard his neighbor tell him that there might be a problem with the started snow root planted, and even the elder went to check it out for himself.
Old York was furious when he heard this, but it was Arden who was in charge of the vigil last night, and that stinky boy actually lived up to the expectations of the Tun Lord.
If he doesn't work hard and neglect his duties, he must educate Arden well, otherwise the Tun Elder will think that he has no way to teach his juniors.
Arden shuddered when he heard Joel Sr.'s voice, but continued to pull the soil hard.
"Tun Elder ......"
Old Yole suddenly saw Willy, and then he struggled to restrain his temper: "I'm sorry, Master Tun, because of Arden's negligence, there is a problem with Starspot Xuegen, I must teach him a good lesson, and then ......"
Seeing Old Joel like this, Willy laughed, patted Old Joel on the shoulder, and motioned him to discourage: "Arden did a good job, he didn't make any mistakes, on the contrary, he also brought me good news." ”
"Huh?"
Old Joel was a little dazed for a moment, but seeing Willy say this, he also put the stick behind him.
Arden timidly glanced at Old York, but was seen by Old York, and scolded loudly: "Concentrate on your work, don't be distracted!"
