Wang Yingying left, leaving only two subordinates, living in the courtyard of Wang Taoqing's father's house, on the surface to count the number of people on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and secretly to keep an eye on the seven acres of wheat fields.

Because Su Mo had used cold-resistant medicine for the wheat, he was not worried that the wheat would freeze to death if the snow cooled down.

In addition, although she does not like to come and go, many people in the village come to her home to pay New Year's greetings.

Considering that the Gu family will not move out of Luoshan Village in a short period of time according to the current situation, and the gifts are still exchanged, she led her three children to return the New Year's greetings one by one.

This also led to the fact that I never went to the wheat field to see the situation, and on the afternoon of the sixth day of the new year, a child who was wandering around ran back, saying that he saw green smoke coming from the wheat field.

Chen Liduan, who happened to be passing by, heard the words and realized that something was wrong, and felt that he ran to tell the village chief the news.

"Uncle, uncle... Something went wrong!! ”

The village chief was sitting on the edge of the stove and eating melon seeds, and when he heard someone say that something had happened, he stopped eating melon seeds, and hurriedly got up and ran out.

"What's wrong?"

"Minwa said that there was green smoke on the wheat field, and she was afraid that there was a fire."

Chen Li leaned against the door frame, panting.

"Go and check it out."

"Fire?"

The village chief settled his mind and frowned slightly.

"The snow hasn't melted, can't it?"

said so, but the person took the coat handed by Hui Niang and put it on, and walked to the wheat field.

Seeing this, Chen Liduan hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived at the edge of the wheat field, they soon realized that something was wrong.

There were several black marks on the edge of the wheat field, and there were still burning ashes on them, and the water in the field was swollen and frozen.

"It's... This..."What can I do!"

Seeing this, the village chief was anxious and speechless, this is frozen like this, and the wheat is afraid that he will not survive, but the people from the court have not yet come.

Chen Liduan walked around the side, and his sharp eyes found the channel to divert water to the fields.

He hurriedly beckoned and called the village chief over.

"Uncle, come and take a look!"

The village chief walked over, and when he saw the channel, his face became more and more gloomy, and he took a deep breath to calm down.

"Kasatan, help me up the mountain."

Chen Liduan scratched his head, a little worried about the state of the village chief.

"Uncle, I see that your face is wrong, why don't you send you back first and find Dr. Wang to take a look?

As for here......"

The village chief raised his hand slightly, interrupting his words, and his tone was undeniable.

"No, I'm going to see who is so bold!"

"But..."

Even if you go up, you won't necessarily be able to see people.

Chen Liduan thought, scratching his head, but didn't know how to speak.

The village chief saw his thoughts and said, "I know what you're thinking, but as the saying goes, geese leave traces, and the wind leaves sounds."

It's not easy to get a ditch down. Besides, as you said, Minwa saw the green smoke rising from here, thinking that the person should not have gone far.

If we go up the mountain quickly, we might find something. ”

When the village chief said this, Chen Liduan was not good at what to say, so he immediately supported the village chief and walked down the ditch to the mountain.

There was no snow for two days, and the two soon noticed that the ditch was covered with messy footprints and traces of fire.

The village chief squatted down and touched the soil, which was still hot, and it seemed that this was the reason for the green smoke.

The village chief squinted slightly, and after carefully looking at the ditch several times, he waved his hand at Chen Li, who was still confused.

"Let's go back!"

"This is going back?"

Chen Li was puzzled, and he didn't see anyone?

The village chief did not answer, but looked up at him.

Chen Liduan noticed the village chief's sight, and immediately made a silent movement, obediently helping the village chief down the mountain.

"You go home, take it with you to remind Minwa, don't spread the word about this matter first."

After the two returned to the village, the village chief sent Chen Lida home, and when the others left, they walked in the direction of Gu's house.

These days of the Chinese New Year, everyone is idle and has nothing to do, although the weather is cold, but still holding melon seeds, gathering together to chat.

Seeing the village chief coming, the big guys stopped talking and greeted the village chief.

"Happy New Year to the village chief."

"Village Chief, what are you doing here?"

The village chief glanced at it, most of them were women of the Wang family, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly in response.

casually found an excuse and coped: "This is not after the Lantern Festival, the village school will start, I will go to the Gu family first and discuss the specific matters with the Su family." ”

The village chief originally planned to fool the past first and leave quickly, but he never thought that this mentioned Su Mo, and the eyes of several women suddenly lit up a lot.

A woman covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes were crooked like crescents, and her eyes flashed slightly: "Village chief, I'm afraid that the Su clan will not be available." ”

The village chief frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You don't know yet?"

The women exchanged glances, covered their mouths and laughed, "Mrs. Lin from Yunhe Village has gone to Gu's house." ”

This Yunhe Village's Mrs. Lin is a famous matchmaker, and the three children of the Gu family are still young, so it goes without saying who this is for.

A well-informed woman squeezed her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The county lord wants to take a concubine." ”

Some people sighed: "This Su clan is really a blessing." ”

It's not, the Gu family was spoiled by the original, but later the Gu family was gone, and the Su family was in a state of confusion for a few years, but this sobered up and caught up with the county lord to take a concubine.

Since Mrs. Lin dared to go to the Gu family, she must have been allowed by the county lord.

This Su family, a widow with three children, climbed the county order before, and now she can climb to the county government, who has no good luck?

The village chief's face was slightly gloomy, taking a concubine?

What is a concubine, to put it nicely, it is a side room, half a master, to be honest, she is a subordinate with a higher status than a maid.

With Su's temperament, he will definitely not agree, but now that the county lord is acting as the county commander, if he angers the county lord, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

And Fang County's order, the official was reinstated, and at this moment, I am afraid that he is still on the way to Beijing, and the distant water will not quench his thirst.

The women found that the village chief's face was not very good, and they did not know what they had said wrong, so they looked at each other and fell silent.

Without the noisy chatter in his ears, the village chief came back to his senses, ignored a few women, and continued to walk towards Gu's house.

Seeing the gate of the courtyard, he saw Su Mo with a cold face and walked out with a person.

"Go back and tell that county Cheng that if you want to accept me as a concubine, it's better to dream faster."

She let go of her hand and went into the courtyard without looking back.

Mrs. Lin did not give up, and continued to follow, shouting after her: "Mrs. Gu, think about it again, although this is a concubine, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

In addition, the county has no children so far, and the adults also bluntly said that they will treat the three children under your knees as their own, and if you give birth to a child in the future, they will help you to be the main room.

What a blessing! ”

Su Mo clenched his fists, restrained himself from wanting to beat people, and looked back at her coldly.

"You want you to take this blessing, I'm not rare."

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Mrs. Gu is really good at joking, my mother-in-law and I are old, how can I afford such a big blessing..."

If she were younger, it wouldn't be impossible.
