[Quick Transmigration] Soul Exchange

Chapter 116 A Murder Case Caused by a Dog

After the polar night last year, grain production dropped sharply, and many seeds died inexplicably, so that in the spring of this year, everyone couldn't get enough grain to raise seedlings, leaving a large area of ​​land deserted.

Xie Wenhua lowered her eyes in disappointment. Only after she left Jiang's house did she know how difficult the life outside was, so difficult that their mother and daughter could not survive!If there is really no other way, we can only use the last bit of food stored at home.

The home she was talking about was naturally not Jiang Lie's home, but their home in the county.As mentioned earlier, Jiang Mei and her husband opened a noodle restaurant in the county seat. The kitchen in the store stocked a lot of common types of flour, such as white noodles, buckwheat noodles, and bean noodles.

With these flours, Jiang Mei and Xie Wenhua survived the first three months.However, seeing that food was getting less and less, and the disaster was getting worse, Jiang Mei changed her mind, hid the remaining flour, and took her daughter back to Daixiang Village to join Jiang Lie.At that time, Xie Wenhua still felt that this was not good, but now he can't help admiring his mother's foresight.

She let out a breath and was about to leave when Lin Song said again, "But you can go to the village chief's house to try, his family has a lot of land."

There is no shortage of related households at any time. The son of the village head works in the research institute in the capital. I brought back several bags of new grain seeds for him. The germination rate is very high. The village head gave each household a bucket. Plant.

Xie Wenhua didn't know the inside story, but it didn't hinder her gratitude to Lin Song. She said "thank you" sincerely.

The things at home are her and her mother's hole cards, and unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not be exposed unless they can.

Xie Wenhua and Lin Song inquired about the address of the village chief's house, and pulled their mother to walk in that direction.

The Jiang family looked at me, and I looked at you, and they didn't know who stepped forward and followed her.

When Ming Jiuyuan and 520 returned home, there were no annoying people around, and the air was a bit fresher.

When passing by the well in the middle courtyard, 520 bit Ming Jiuyuan's trousers, "Wow!" Boss, give me a bath, it's so dirty.

The Jiang family's well was still an old-fashioned hand-cranked well. Ming Jiuyuan turned the handle and filled two buckets of water, went back to the house and took a copper ladle, scooped up the water and slowly poured it on 520.The well water was cold, and when it met the warm skin under his fur, the coolness was magnified a hundred times. 520 shuddered unconsciously, and barked happily in the next second, "Wow, woof!" It's so cool, come again !

Ming Jiuyuan poured the rest of the water from the top of his head, and the majestic wolf green dog instantly became a drowned dog. The blue and white hairs on his face were glued together in strands, making the two overly lively eyes stand out. crystal bright.

Ming Jiuyuan smiled and pinched his black dog nose, 520 immediately snorted, sprayed his face with hot air, and acted coquettishly.

Ming Jiuyuan pushed his dog's face away in disgust, and then scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on him. The water flowed down his back, washing away some blood.

But most of the blood had dried up, forming a lump with the dog hair.Ming Jiuyuan poured water on it, rubbed it gently, and rinsed it off. 520 was served by Shu Tan, who lowered his head when asked to bow his head, raised his paw when asked to raise his paw, and made a pleasant humming sound in his throat, just like a child.

Ming Jiuyuan's gaze softened, poured the last ladle of water on him, patted his dog's head and said, "Okay."

"Wow!" 520 cheered, shaking his head and tail.

Ming Jiuyuan was close, and he was splashed with water, but he didn't get angry, scratched his wet chin, stood up and said, "Go, go and see how much food is left."

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang had experienced famine, and they often said that they would not panic if they had food in their hands. Therefore, most of the grain harvested by the Jiang family every year was stored, and only the old grain that had not been eaten in the next year would be sold out.Last year was bad, Jiang Lie left all the old and new grain, which was [-] catties.

But after the Jiang family's eating and drinking in the past few months, Ming Jiuyuan looked at the dozen or so bags of grain standing at the end of the kang, estimated to be no more than three thousand catties.In other words, more than [-] catties of grain were consumed in the past seven or eight months, with an average of three and a half catties of grain per person per day.

Ming Jiuyuan let out a sneer of unknown meaning.

520 scratched his head in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ming Jiuyuan said, "Jiang Fu and the others stole food."

As he spoke, he searched around the house, and sure enough, in the big mahogany cabinet in the compartment, he found two cabinets full of grain, about a thousand catties, but it still didn't count.

At this time, 520 jumped onto the kang, sucked his nose and shouted, "Wow!" Here!

Ming Jiuyuan walked over and lifted up the kang mat, and saw that the middle of the kang was hollowed out, and dozens of sacks were stacked neatly. No wonder Jiang Fu said that there was not much leftover food at home. According to his "eating" method, Landlord Lao Cai also has to go bankrupt!

Ming Jiuyuan summoned some little ghosts, gave them a ray of yin, and asked them to move all the food into their yard.

After all the ghosts eat the yin energy, one ghost has two bags, one hand and one bag, and it's done after a few rounds.

The grain was piled up in Jiang Lie's room, almost reaching the roof.

Ming Jiuyuan leaned on the grain pile, and also experienced the feeling of having grain in his hand and not panicking.

520 lay on top of him, wagging its tail and said, "Wow!" Boss, where can we find the sky cover and the eyes of reincarnation?

Ming Jiuyuan grabbed a handful of freshly fried peas, spread his palms and brought them to his mouth. After seeing 520's tongue curled up and biting it crisply, he said, "Don't worry, they will find it on their own initiative."

"Wang." Oh.

With that said, 520 put the matter down.

Daixiang Village is located at the junction of the north and the south, and the crops are harvested twice a year.Now that June is counting volts, it is the season of rushing to harvest in summer.

Jiang Lie's field was next to the village chief's. When Ming Jiuyuan went to the field in the morning, he accidentally saw Jiang's family in the field next to him.

When Jiang Fu saw him, he snorted coldly, and swung the sickle wildly, as if he wanted to kill someone.

At this time, the person in front of him turned his head, clapped his hands and said, "This is it, a total of ten acres of wheat, you one, two, three... eight people, can cut it all in one day!"

Ming Jiuyuan recognized him as Wang Bing, the youngest son of the village chief's family. He was in his 20s, but according to his seniority, Jiang Lie wanted to call him uncle.

Wang Bing saw him showing a smile and nodded in greeting.Ming Jiuyuan smiled back and waved his hand to let him do the work first.

Over there, Jiang Lan heard that ten acres of land would be harvested a day, and made a fuss, "Are you kidding, ten acres a day, do you think we are harvesters?"

Wang Bing said lightly, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it, it just saves my family's food!"

Jiang Lan: "..." Jiang Lan blushed from holding back, but felt her belly that had only eaten half a bowl of boiled corn kernels since last night, and she didn't have the backbone to say "If you don't do it, you don't do it" , closed his mouth resentfully, and gave Jiang Lie a fierce look.

Ming Jiuyuan touched his nose: He was shot while standing!

Jiang Fu is flexible in front of outsiders. Hearing this, he patted Wang Bing on the shoulder "haha" and said with a smile, "I want to save food, I'm sorry, we can definitely finish it!"

Wang Bing dodged his hand, and said with a smirk, "It's best. But the ugly thing is, if you don't finish, I won't give you all the food!"

Jiang Fu withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "Of course."

Wang Bing passed him, walked in front of Jiang Lie, pulled him aside with his arms around his shoulders, winked and said, "Look, Uncle will vent your anger on you!"

Jiang Lie and Wang Bing are about the same age, although there is a difference in seniority, they have been playing since childhood.Wang Bing has always regarded himself as an elder, always protecting Jiang Lie behind him.He has long been disgusted with those relatives of Jiang Lie, but Jiang Lie has been taking into account the relationship between relatives and making compromises, so it is not easy for him to stand up directly beyond the rightful owner.

Now, Jiang Lie suddenly realized that the Jiang family fell into his hands—hey!Hey!Hey!

Wang Bing grinned three times, pinching his knuckles and making loud noises.

Ming Jiuyuan broke away from his arm, turned around and took a step away, glanced at the people in Jiang's family, and raised his eyebrows curiously, "What's going on?"

Wang Bing briefly talked about the fact that Jiang Fu and the others came to the door and said that they wanted to work to earn food, and then patted his chest and said, "Look, Uncle will give you a good breath of anger!"

Ming Jiuyuan shook his head, "Don't go too far, I used to repay my grandparents for their upbringing, and I have nothing to do with them in the future, so you don't have to worry about them."

Wang Bing grinned, "What's too much? They want to kill dogs! Besides, I didn't do anything. Let seven or eight of them cut ten acres of land a day, less than one and a half acres per person. Is it too much, you Is it too much to ask a dog?"

520 yelled: Not too much, it's cheaper for them.

Ming Jiuyuan: "..."

It is common for a veteran farmer to mow one and a half to two acres of land a day.But look at those members of the Jiang family, except for Jiang Mei and Jiang Shou, they either hold a pen or sit in an office. They are pampered and pampered, and they may not even be able to cut half an acre.

In fact, this was exactly as Ming Jiuyuan expected. Until dusk, Jiang Fu and the others had cut less than five acres in total, of which Jiang Mei and Jiang Shou cut more than two acres, and the remaining six people cut each on average. It was less than half an acre, and just here, Jiang Lan scratched her hand and yelled that she would not come tomorrow.

Wang Bing laughed and said, "That's just right, it saved me a catty of food."

The scheduled work was not finished, so naturally the bill could not be settled according to the original agreement of two catties of grain per person. Wang Bing changed it a bit, and Jiang Lan cut an average of half an mu of grain at two catties of grain per acre of land, isn't it just one catty of grain?

Jiang Lan choked and closed her mouth angrily.

Jiang Fu carried ten catties of grain, and led the crowd away. When he and Jiang Lie were side by side, he took a deep look at him and Gouzi.

Ming Jiuyuan recalled his meaningful eyes, and asked Wang Bing, "Do you know where they live?"

"The chicken farm in the bend of the river."

More than ten years ago, some villagers raised chickens in Hewan and built a chicken farm.Later, there was chicken plague, and all the chickens died. The chicken farmer left the village to avoid debts, and has not returned so far.But because it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was too far away from the village, no one thought about it, so now Jiang Fu and the others are taking advantage of it.

Wang Bing sighed unhappily.

Ming Jiuyuan nodded. He suddenly remembered that Jiang Lie's house was at the end of the village. There was no one on the way from Hewan to his house. Jiang Fu had hidden so much food, so he would definitely try to transport it out. Now that Xia Harvest, he and 520 are not at home. It's a good time to get your hands dirty...
