As the sun sets, the orange light shines on the fields, and the villagers who have worked all day put away their tools and rush home.

Xiao Sheng, who was pushed by Jiang Ning, came out of the entrance of the village, looked at the halfway plough of his house, and kept sighing.

"Originally, I was thinking that I could plow two pieces of this land today, and then I would hurry up and plant seeds, but now it seems that this land will not be able to be used for a while."

I don't know if it will delay the planting time.

After all, ancient times are not as good as modern times, and it really depends on God to eat.

Xiao Sheng didn't like to hear her sigh, but he also understood the irritability in her heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's really not good, let's go to the town to buy a cow another day, and I will have to get up early to take an ox cart in and out of the city in the future." ”

Buy a cow yourself?

Jiang Ning paused slightly, thought about it slightly, and thought that a cowshed could be built outside the Xiao family's backyard, which would not be in the way or abrupt.

It's just that if you buy a cow, you have to go to the government to register, and you can't kill the cow to eat, even if you wait for the milk, not to mention the heavy smell, the amount of milk is still pitiful......

So, except for plowing and going to town, cattle are of no use at all.

Besides, she didn't think she was going to stay in town forever.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Jiang Ning finally shook his head: "It's better to be exempt, I don't want to buy a cow and come back to serve as an ancestor." ”

Her refusal surprised Xiao Sheng, but he didn't say anything more.

It's all up to her!

When the two of them saw the door of the house, they saw Liu waiting outside with a anxious face.

Seeing the two of them coming back, they were even more busy to meet them.

"Sheng'er, Ning'er, I've heard everything in the field, are you two okay?"

After asking, Liu pulled Jiang Ning up and down, and was relieved to confirm that she was okay.

Jiang Ning was warmed by her actions, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile and replied: "Mother, we are fine, but the old scalper of Old Man Gu's family was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and Uncle Zhu was also injured." ”

"Oh, is that okay with the others?"

"It's okay, it's just hurt."

Liu patted his chest in fear, and kept chanting: "Amitabha, Buddha blesses, it's okay if people are fine, it's okay if they're okay." ”

After reading a few sentences, Liu couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on, how can there be snakes in the fields?" ”

It stands to reason that snakes are not all on the clouds and mountains, how can they appear in the fields?

In fact, this is also something that Jiang Ning is puzzled about.

However, nothing can be said too absolutely......

Could it really be an accident?

Jiang Ning could only comfort herself like this now, and sighed helplessly, and just as she was about to speak, Xiao Sheng on the side cut off her words.

"Mother, let's talk about everything first."

What does the whole family talk like outside the door?

Liu realized that it was not very good, so he quickly answered and entered the hall together.

As soon as they entered, Xiao Zhiqing obediently brought them warm handkerchiefs, and the two wiped their hands together before they sat down.

The table was full of four dishes and one soup, and there were a lot of portions.

Xiao Zhiqing also asked about it while serving them rice.

Jiang Ning took the cooked meal, thanked him and said: "All the snakes that can be seen in the field have been caught, but they have all been put back on the mountain, the old ox was poisoned, and it was directly sent to Lizheng's house to register and burn, Uncle Zhuzi's side is fine, I want to come and heal in a few days, as for the old man Gu's side, I lost five taels of silver, and this matter is over." ”

That's pretty much how things turned out.

However, Jiang Ning is also glad that this cow belongs to Old Man Gu's family, otherwise if it is someone else's, I am afraid that five taels of silver will not be enough to compensate.

Of course, it's not that five taels of silver can't buy an old cow, but because people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, some people are too greedy.

Because of this, Li Zhuzi's relief to her really moved her.

Liu Shi listened to the whole process, sighed, and hurriedly said: "There are still thirty eggs at home, I will cook them all early tomorrow, and we will cut more meat in the town and buy a chicken or something, and when the time comes, you will send them to your Uncle Zhuzi, which can be regarded as making up for it." ”

"Mother, you don't have to be so exaggerated!" Jiang Ning answered with a smile.

Liu looked at her disapportively and said: "No, no matter what, your Uncle Zhu was injured because of helping our family, these are all as they should be, basic, fortunately, people are fine, otherwise ......"

I saw Liu sigh heavily, and the following words were not spoken.

Jiang Ning understood the meaning of her words, and his mood was low for a while, and he buried himself in eating without saying a word.

Xiao Sheng looked at this scene, shook his head helplessly, gently rubbed the back of Jiang Ning's head, and calmed him for a while before he said slowly: "Just listen to my mother, let's go and see Uncle Zhu more when we have time these days." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Jiang Ning still felt guilty in the end.

After dinner.

The family washed up and went back to the house.

Jiang Ning was lying on the bed in his underwear, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, but Xiao Sheng, who was reading by candlelight, was also uneasy.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning paused slightly when he heard the question, so he simply turned over again, lay upright, opened two huge eyes, and said helplessly: "I can't sleep." ”

Xiao Sheng also looked helpless when he saw her like this, put the book on his lap, tilted his head and asked, "Still thinking about things in the field?" ”

Jiang Ning replied sullenly......

"No one expected this today, it should have been an accident, so don't think about it."

Accidental?

Jiang Ning didn't think that so many snakes would inexplicably come out of a good field, but fortunately, it happened that it was in her field, and there were none in other people's homes.

Isn't her land more fragrant to attract these snakes?

Jiang Ning would not believe this.

The most important thing is that after thinking about it, she feels more and more that this matter is strange......

If she were the one who ploughed the land today, wouldn't she be bitten by a snake?

If only it wasn't poisonous, but there was a poisonous snake in it.

As far as she knew, the poisonous snake liked the mountain climate the most, and it would never come to the fields, unless someone deliberately caught it and let it go.

Wait, someone on purpose?

Jiang Ning's head flashed, and then he sat up suddenly, and even the futon was lifted.

Xiao Sheng looked at Jiang Ning, who was inexplicably excited, in a daze, and asked out loud for a long time, "Ning'er, what's wrong?" ”

Suddenly, Jiang Ning turned his head, looked at him with big eyes, and asked seriously: "Xiao Sheng, do you remember that when I finished lunch at noon, I was about to go to the field, and we saw someone sneaking into the fruit forest?" ”

When he mentioned this, Xiao Sheng was a little impressed, bowed his head slightly, and just wanted to say something when he saw Jiang Ning with a hint of anger, and suddenly realized.

"Ning'er, what do you mean ......?"

"I'm going to the orchard."
