Chapter 126: The Fields Are Destroyed
Liu Yuanwai temporarily added it, and Yi Mingxue immediately went to the field to pick another hundred catties and came back.
Li Cong and others worked together with the Liu family's family to quickly load 600 catties of watermelons and transport them away.
Yi Mingxue's melons were directly sold forty percent.
Moreover, nearly fifty taels of silver were recorded on the spot.
This can make the rest of the village miserable.
Especially those followers of Village Chief Li, not only did they lose money from melon seedlings, but they also worked for so long in vain.
Knowing this, I should have followed Yi Daya to plant rice.
Many villagers complained, and Village Chief Li's prestige in the village plummeted again.
There is a stark contrast between the two factions in Dahe Village.
However, early the next morning.
Yi Mingxue noticed that something was wrong.
In her melon field, there was a thief!
Although the melon thief is very cautious, he only follows the pre-harvest of yesterday's melon picking.
But Yi Mingxue picks melons with a knife.
The Guati incision left by the two extraction methods is completely different.
If you don't pay attention, you really steal it for him quietly.
Yi Mingxue didn't say anything, she only went home and brought a few traps and buried them around the melon field.
Early in the morning of the third day, Yi Mingxue went to the melon field again.
Now, the melon thief has become more and more unscrupulous.
not only stole a lot of her melons, but also destroyed a lot of melon vines.
Now, even Yi Tianlei and Yi Changle, the two ghosts, can see it.
"Eldest sister, is this someone doing evil?"
Yi Changle stared at a small face and said in a calm tone.
Yi Mingxue nodded.
Then go and check the trap that he had laid in ambush.
It turned out that there was a pool of blood on the trap leading to the back mountain.
The blood stains hadn't dried yet, and I thought it was from last night.
"What to do? Why don't I come to the melon field at night to lay the ground. ”
Yi Tianlei's mind is relatively simple, and the way he can think of is to stay in the melon field day and night.
Yi Mingxue shook her head.
She got up and looked in the direction of the mountain behind her, her face thoughtful.
That night, she added another trap around the melon field.
But on the fourth day, the melon thief not only continued to steal melons, but also deliberately cut down dozens of large watermelons as if they were sabotage.
Not only that, Li Cong also hurriedly came to her.
"Big girl! Oh no!! I don't know which turtle grandson has pulled out all the rice in your field. ”
"What?!"
As a result, Diced Radish was shocked.
Everyone hurried to the Yi family's field.
I saw that the rice seedlings that had grown to their thighs were all pulled out artificially.
And it was very malicious, and it was thrown under the field on the side.
The ditch that was supposed to be used to drain the water was also dug up.
"This ...... What kind of person is it that actually does such a lack of morality! Li Cong said indignantly.
Soon, the Ge brothers, Zhu Boniang and others also rushed over when they heard the news.
Everyone helped Yi Mingxue to remedy it.
I couldn't help but scold this bad person.
But Yi Mingxue has offended too many people during this time.
For a while, everyone couldn't tell who did it.
During the conversation, Zhu Boniang said a little hesitantly.
"Big girl, in fact, Uncle shouldn't have told you this. But in recent days, some rumors about you have been spreading. ”
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhu.
"What rumors?"
In fact, the gossip about her has never stopped.
But if Uncle Zhu can come to remind her, it must be really a little ugly.
"Let's just say that your money is coming from the wrong way, and you love to be fierce and ruthless, you must be doing some bad things out there stealing chickens and dogs."
Yi Mingxue raised her eyebrows, "That's all?" ”
Zhu Boniang was silent for a moment, "More than that." And the things you wanted to sell lightly to the Qinglou and beat your uncle's family in the past were all taken out and said. Even ......"
"Or even what?"
"Even ...... Say that you don't keep women's morals, and you mingle with young men from several villages all day long, even the middle-aged farmer who is old. It must be a prodigal by nature, and it is a ...... The people of water-based poplars! ”
After Zhu Boniang finished speaking, she also began to get angry.
"I heard it, so I'm naturally trying to help you defend it. But many people don't know you at all, they just blindly spread rumors, and now your reputation is worse than before. ”
After listening to Zhu Boniang's words, everyone was so angry that their teeth itched.
Yi Tianlei even squeaked his little fists.
"Who the hell are spreading rumors?! I'm going to have to go to them today to find out! ”
Li Cong was also upset on the side, "These people are just talking nonsense, I think it's just a greedy girl who has made money." ”
"Actually......" At this time, Ge Er on the side suddenly spoke.
"When I went to town yesterday, I heard a lot of rumors. There are also some people who don't know the truth and are bewitched, saying that when they see the big girl in the future, they will punish the adulterers and eliminate the evil and do the right thing for the heavens. ”
"I think these people are crazy!" Now, even Uncle Zhu, who has always been taciturn, can't listen to it anymore.
However, Yi Changle on the side found the clue.
"That's not right! My eldest sister's reputation used to be so stinky, and it wasn't as bad as it is now. It's clear that someone is behind it. ”
"Could it be Village Chief Li?" Yi Tianlei quickly answered.
"It's also possible that someone from Longmen Village." Zhu Boniang added.
"What to do? Eldest sister. Yi Changle looked at Yi Mingxue worriedly.
But I saw that there was not much discoloration on the face of the person.
Instead, he planted the rice seedlings that were still in good condition back into the field.
"Don't do it, the third and fourth, you go to the melon field. I took all the destroyed watermelons back to the village, and I invited the big guys to eat them in the afternoon. ”
Only then did everyone know that not only her rice field, but also her melon field had been destroyed.
"It's just too deceitful!" Li Cong said hatefully, "Big girl, are you going to just forget it?" ”
Yi Mingxue didn't answer him directly.
Instead, he took a deep look at the direction of the back mountain.
Then she looked at the Ge brothers on the side and said, "Brother Ge is going to go to the town later?" ”
Ge Da didn't know why, but he nodded anyway.
"Brother Brother Lao Ge do me a favor......"
After dealing with the mess in the field, the group returned to the village.
The first thing he did after returning home was to share the watermelons that had been destroyed with Li Cong, Zhu Boniang, the Ge brothers and others.
Yi Mingxue even sent half of each to Carpenter Wang and Liu Er's mother.
Back in the courtyard of the Yi family, Li Cong had been waiting for her at the door.
Seeing that she was always unhurried, she didn't say anything to the bad people.
couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Are you afraid that you are weak and not their opponent?" ”
Without waiting for Yi Mingxue to speak, he patted his chest again.
"Now many people in the village want to follow you to grow melons and rice, as long as you make a little use, I believe the situation will definitely improve."
Yi Mingxue knew that he was doing it for his own good.
But if the tumor is not uprooted, this kind of villain tricks behind the scenes cannot be completely eradicated.
She glanced at the eavesdropping on the wall, seemingly inadvertently.
Slowly, he said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer." ”
