Chapter Twenty-Three: Secretly Obstructing

The more Zhou Lan thought about it, the more angry she became, and after cursing Ye Xiaoying all night, she knocked on Ye Xiaoying's door early the next morning.

And almost at the moment when the door was knocked, Xiao Hei, who was playing alone in the yard, pounced and shouted, fortunately, there was a door in the way, but it also scared Zhou Lan a lot!

She knew that the Tiezhu family had raised a dog in the past few days, but this dog almost didn't bark much except in the morning on weekdays, and she didn't care much, she didn't expect this dog to be so vicious!

Ye Xiaoying was having breakfast with Tie Zhu at the moment, and when she heard the barking of the dog in the yard, she hurriedly went out to check, and saw that it was Zhou Lan outside the door, so she sneered, "Yo, what is Sister Zhou doing here with me today?" ”

Their faces had already been torn apart, so Ye Xiaoying didn't have a trace of politeness. Last time Lan came this week, she asked Tie Zhu to repair the roof of her house, I don't know what tricks she was playing, but this time she came again, she wouldn't give her a good face.

"You...... You get this dog out of the way first! ”

Zhou Lan was frightened by Xiao Hei, she looked at Xiao Hei's big black bean eyes and established teeth, she felt that her heels were weak, she couldn't walk anymore, the tip of her tongue was numb, and she couldn't speak well.

But Ye Xiaoying didn't want to give her a chance, seeing her discolored, she only felt funny in her heart, but her face was like ice, "I can't control my little black, if you don't dare to come in, then go back." ”

She didn't welcome her, so it was just right!

"You!"

Zhou Lan's previous courage to find her theory gradually disappeared under Xiao Hei's gaze, and she glanced at Ye Xiaoying fiercely, and saw that the villagers not far away were also looking over here, not wanting to be embarrassed, so she stomped her feet and turned to leave, but a ruthless method suddenly appeared in her heart.

In the early morning of this day, Ye Xiaoying deliberately got up early in the morning, preparing to continue to send some bamboo insects to the villagers.

There seems to be a large bamboo forest behind her house in this village, and although other families have it, they are not as lush as her house, so she will send it to some families who do not have bamboo forests every once in a while, so that they can feast their mouths.

After finishing grooming, Ye Xiaoying packed up some bamboo insects, said hello to Li Tiezhu, who was weaving bamboo baskets, and then went out.

In the past few days, she has gone out alone to deliver bamboo insects.

The warm breeze blew on her face, and she walked to the head of the village, and saw Uncle Wang walking towards her with a burden on his shoulders, so she stepped forward to say hello.

"Uncle Wang, get up so early to fetch water?"

"Hmmm......"

As soon as the villagers saw Ye Xiaoying, they immediately lowered their heads, as if they couldn't dodge, weighed the burden on their shoulders, and promised perfunctorily, deliberately bypassing her, and then speeding up their steps to walk home.

Ye Xiaoying pursed her lips lightly, and couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, didn't he quarrel with Aunt Wang last night?

But who can guarantee a smile every day, Ye Xiaoying didn't think much about it, and continued to walk forward with the bamboo worm.

But she didn't go far before she saw that there were people gathered in front of her, bustling, and she didn't know what they were arguing about.

Ye Xiaoying slowed down, pricked up her ears and listened for a moment, as if she heard the word "bamboo insect", so she walked over curiously.

She walked to the back of the crowd, only to hear a burst of boos from the villagers, and was about to stand on tiptoe to take a look, when she heard Zhou Lan's voice coming from inside.

"Do you see it, this chick is the best proof of it!"

Ye Xiaoying raised her head and followed the voice to see Zhou Lan standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a dead chicken with a crooked head in her hand to show it to the villagers.

She frowned suspiciously, a little puzzled by Zhou Lan's actions.

The villagers at the front booed and whispered from time to time.

Zhou Lan: What is this doing?

Ye Xiaoying continued to watch, only to hear her say in a troubled manner: "Last night, I collected some bamboo insects from the bamboo forest behind the house and wanted to try them, but I didn't expect to be accidentally eaten by my chicken, so the chicken died on the spot!" So this bamboo insect must be poisonous, so it's best not to eat it in the future! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a villager immediately shouted: "No, we have eaten this bamboo worm for so many days, and your chicken will not die of disease, right?" It's pure coincidence. ”

This person made Zhou Lan very unhappy, but she suppressed the disdain between her eyebrows, and replied coldly: "Of course you can't be compared to a chicken with such a big body, this bamboo insect should be weak in toxicity, so you are fine, but you can eat a lot, can you guarantee that nothing will happen?" ”

Zhou Lan swore that it once again caused a lot of discussion among the onlookers, and on the surface, it seems that the evidence is indeed conclusive, and everyone will believe it.

Ye Xiaoying stood behind and listened for a while, and her heart couldn't help but be messy. This week, Lan is really vicious, and she thought of such a trick!

But her bamboo insect was given away for free, and there was no pollution or pollution, no matter what she said, after a long time, the truth would be revealed, so she didn't pay much attention to it, just looked inside twice and left.

And by the time she sent the bamboo worms back, the villagers who had been watching had already dispersed, and Zhou Lan had naturally left.

Oh, so impatient! Ye Xiaoying sneered and walked home.

And in the house across the wall from her, Zhou Lan was evoking a hideous smile.

In order not to arouse suspicion, she bought some arsenic from the pharmacy yesterday on the pretext of poisoning rats in the town and brought it back......

That night, black clouds obscured the crescent moon hanging high.

Zhou Lan waited until late at night and saw that the surrounding neighbors had turned off the lights, so she sneaked out of the house.

Walking to the communal well, she looked left and right, made sure that no one around was seeing, and quickly took out the paper bag in her arms.

Her painstaking efforts to dissuade her in the morning did not pay off, and the villagers were not so stupid and almost did not believe it, which is why she made this decision.

"This is your ...... for yourselves"

Zhou Lan lowered her voice and muttered to herself, gritted her teeth and laughed, opened the paper bag and poured some of the arsenic inside into the well.

Early the next morning.

After Ye Xiaoying got up, she touched the empty bed next to her, it is estimated that Li Tiezhu went up the mountain early today to cut bamboo, he always gets up early and never sleeps lazy, unlike her.

With a chuckle of two chuckles, Ye Xiaoying got up to wash and dress, walked out of the door, and began to learn to weave bamboo baskets.

She has been learning to make this up for the past few days, hoping to subsidize her family more.

In the morning, the sun was a little hot overhead, Ye Xiaoying stroked the thin sweat on her forehead, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

But before she could finish making one, she suddenly heard someone bang on the door of her house, as if something big had happened.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei naturally rushed forward, and the future person was startled, but the person who came only paused, and then knocked on the door violently.
