Chapter 31: The thief in the melon field
Yi Mingxue was woken up by Yi Tianlei.
Sure enough, the winter wind was howling outside, and the battle was not small.
Yi Tianlei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "The third sister said that there is no rain or frost tonight, but ...... She didn't say there would be a strong wind. ”
Yi Mingxue got dressed and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'll go to the field now." ”
"I'll go too!" Yi Tianlei got up with his hands and feet, and hurriedly began to dress.
Yi Mingxue wanted to dissuade her, but seeing that the little boy was so nervous, she swallowed back the words that had come to her mouth.
The sister and brother went out of the courtyard in the dark, and hurried towards the west mountain by the faint moonlight.
Along the way, the demon wind gusted.
The dead wood in the valley was blown and whined, like the wail of a female ghost.
Yi Tianlei was a little scared, took the initiative to hold Yi Mingxue's hand, and strengthened his courage by speaking,
"I hope the melon seedlings are okay, or we will lose the wolf skin."
Yi Mingxue chuckled, "Why do you care so much about these two wolf skins?" ”
"Of course! It was the first hunting trophie. Yi Tianlei said without thinking.
"Now that my father and mother are gone, the eldest sister, you have become better, the second sister can also make money, the third sister is so smart, only me...... is obviously the eldest man, but he can't help the family. ”
The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and in the end he even had some grievances and unwillingness.
Yi Mingxue has always felt that the fourth child is a simple-minded Tie Hanhan, but she didn't expect that at a young age, she actually had troubles.
She squeezed his little hand and said with relief, "Don't worry, your main task now is to grow up!" When you grow into a man who stands up to the sky, you can protect your sister and younger brothers! ”
"Really?" In the night sky, the little boy's eyes were sprinkled with moonlight.
Yi Mingxue bared a row of teeth at him and said with confidence, "Of course." ”
The siblings soon arrived in Xishan.
Before she could get closer, she saw a suspicious black shadow scurrying in her melon field from a distance.
Yi Tianlei just wanted to shout, but Yi Mingxue quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't make a sound!" She pulled the fourth child and quietly hid behind a dead tree.
Begin to observe in the shadows.
The man bent down and wreaked havoc in the ground, probably too cold to stand it, and left in a hurry.
Yi Mingxue and Yi Tianlei had been hiding in the shadows, watching him disappear in the direction of Longmen Village.
Yi Tianlei's two small fists were clenched tightly, and he said angrily, "Who is that, who is actually sabotaging in private!" ”
Yi Mingxue looked at the direction in which the person disappeared, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, go and see." ”
When the two came to the melon field, they saw that the melon seedlings that had been planted in a regular manner during the day were now all torn apart.
There are even a few plants that have been stopped and choked off.
It seems that it is going to ruin the outcome of tomorrow's gamble.
Yi Mingxue felt a little sorry for her melon seedlings, but thanks to them, they came in time, and it was too late to rescue them immediately.
"You go check on the other side, we have to plant them back as fast as we can."
"Good!" Yi Tianlei was very obedient and immediately went to check the situation on the other side.
Yi Mingxue pursed her lips and replanted the relatively complete melon seedlings back into the ground.
Seeing the momentum of the wilting spirit in the seedlings, she simply gritted her teeth and sprinkled a drop of spiritual power into the melon field.
In just a few days, she has already invested three drops of spiritual power in this batch of melon seedlings.
What an unprecedented luxury!
The two sisters and brothers worked together to remedy the damaged melon field.
Some of them have been strangled to death and are simply buried in the soil as fertilizer.
Before leaving, Yi Mingxue also deliberately raised the fence wall for windproofing.
Yi Tianlei was not very relieved, "That person won't slip back again, right?" Shall we stay in the ground tonight? ”
Yi Mingxue shook her head, "He didn't know that we would come, he thought that the treacherous plan had succeeded, and coming again would only leave a flaw." ”
"This person is really hateful, eldest sister, you say, could it be Liu Dong? After all, if he loses, he will give us rabbit skins and fox skins. ”
"Possibly." Yi Mingxue said, but she felt in her heart that it shouldn't be him.
First of all, Liu Dong dared to make this bet, that is, he was sure that Yi Mingxue's melon seedlings would not survive.
This is not a deliberate contradiction, it is the experience of generations of farming.
In fact, if it weren't for the ability used twice, even Yi Mingxue herself wouldn't dare to guarantee that these melon seedlings would survive.
Coupled with such a strong wind in the second half of the night, it is estimated that Liu Dong has been secretly happy for a long time, waiting for her house to pick up the wolf skin tomorrow morning.
And when the man left, he was going in the direction of Longmen Village.
There is something strange about this matter, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as ruining tomorrow's gambling game.
Yi Mingxue thought all the way and returned to the village with the fourth child on her back.
Yi Tianlei was also tired, and when she put it into the bed, she was still muttering in a half-dream, half-awake, "Tomorrow I will get up early and go to the field to guard to prevent that person from doing damage again." ”
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, as soon as the belly of the fish was exposed, a few small ones couldn't wait to get up.
Yi Changle heard that the two of them went to the mountain in the second half of the night yesterday, and they also met a thief who was sabotage.
Annoyed, he grabbed Yi Tianlei's shoulder and shook it, "Why don't you call me!" If I go, I'll be able to catch the thief. ”
Yi Tianlei was shaken by his third sister.
Yi Mingxue rescued the poor fourth child and beckoned a few people to breakfast.
"Okay, what if you go, even if you catch it in the middle of the night, no one can testify. If he dies and doesn't admit it, we still can't do anything about him. ”
"Then let him go?" Yi Changle was not convinced.
Yi Mingxue glared at her amusedly, "Hurry up and eat, do you want to go to the field to see the final result of the gambling game?" ”
"Yes!"
"Of course!"
A litter of diced radishes was so excited that they all buried them in a bowl and began to pick up breakfast quickly.
Among them, Yi Changle and Yi Tianlei are the most anxious.
After eating, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks into the stove house, and ran out of the door first.
"Eldest sister, second sister, let's go to the field to have a look first, and you guys will come over quickly after you pack up."
Yi Mingxue handed over the task of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks to the second child, and she went into the back room and recited the fifth child who had never liked to go out.
"It's rare to have such a lively day today, so you can go with us to see it."
Yi Yutang squirmed his lips twice, wanting to say that he was not going.
But his eldest sister's attitude was tough and did not give him the slightest chance to refuse.
After the three sisters and brothers cleaned up the house, they locked the courtyard door and walked to the melon field.
Along the way, she met many villagers who knew about the gambling game and made fun of her.
"Big girl, it was such a strong wind last night, it seems that you are losing today!"
Someone else even laughed in front of her, "Haha, it's good that I bought it and you lost!" Otherwise, this half catty of bud rice money will be wasted. ”
Yi Mingxue was not angry, but greeted them with a smile,
"It seems that your half catty of bud rice money is indeed going to be wasted."
