Chapter 317 Everyone, is the child lost or taken away?
"Someone please help me find my child!"
Seeing her so sad, others felt bad too.
Many people here are parents, and the missing child of the Zhang family is a top student in the school. Zhang Yue, Ruan Qingsong and other teachers are also very anxious.
At this time, everyone has been asked to search the surrounding area carefully.
However, the disappearance of a child inevitably reminds some villagers of the incident in which the child was sold.
At that time, the Zhu family was not a good family, but now everyone has enough food and clothing. Buying and selling children is a conscienceless act. Who would be so blind as to do such a shameless thing?
As the crowd started talking, Ruan Mian first calmed their emotions.
"Everyone, whether the child is lost, taken away, or trapped somewhere in danger, no one can tell for sure."
"The most urgent thing is to find the child first. As for other speculations and rumors, please don't spread them casually."
After saying that, she walked over to Madam Zhang and helped her up. "Madam Zhang, now everyone in the village will help you find the child. It's useless for you to just cry here. You might as well think carefully about where the child usually goes and provide some clues to everyone."
"If all else fails, you can give me the clothes my child usually wears. I have a few hounds at home, and they might be able to follow the scent and help us find it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang did not dare to delay for a moment. She quickly took Ruan Mian back to her house and took out some clothes that the child often wore.
"Madam Ruan, I beg you to help me! Brother Yu is my only child, he must not be in any danger!! Otherwise... otherwise, as a mother, I don't want to live anymore!"
"Don't worry, Madam Zhang. I will definitely help you. But as a mother, you need to stay calm right now. If you're just grieving, who will wholeheartedly look for your child?"
She consoled him, "Wuheng City is only about that big, and it's the busy farming season, so there are people everywhere. Ask around, maybe someone has seen it."
Moreover, she has psychic animals that can communicate with the space. She can ask them to follow the smell and help find it. She will probably get news soon.
The two hunting dogs at home were originally bought by Yun Xiu from the market in Guancheng. After she raised them in the space, they became very smart.
However, before the matter was resolved, another incident occurred at the plantation the next day.
Lord Lin's servant found Ruan Mian early in the morning and said, "Madam Ruan, Lord Lin wants you to go to the wheat fields outside the city. It is said that there is a problem with the wheat."
"What happened to Wheat?"
The servant said with a worried look on his face, "Today, many farmers came to see Master Lin, saying that some unknown thing had happened to the wheat leaves, and a large area of them had fallen over."
No one said anything would happen to the wheat yesterday.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mian first went to the planting area. The wheat was originally green, but now there were yellow-brown spindle-shaped spots on the leaf sheaths and rhizomes, which were spreading out in a cloud-like pattern.
The vibrant crops looked wilted.
Seeing her coming, Lin Yuantang also looked solemn.
"Madam Ruan, some farmers have noticed some symptoms before, but in the past, if we discovered the disease, we would burn some grass ash and use traditional methods to treat it. But now, perhaps because of the large planting area, this disease is spreading very quickly. The farmers' treatment for two days was useless, and today it is getting worse. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ruan Mian took a closer look. The farmer standing nearby was filled with anxiety and sighed deeply, "I'm afraid our spring wheat harvest this year will be mostly lost!"
When these words were spoken, the other farmers were very depressed. They watched helplessly as they worked so hard for so many days but ended up with nothing.
However, the reason why Ruan Mian remained silent was that this was sheath rust disease, and logically most of it should occur in the southern regions where the temperature is higher.
Although Wuheng has had rain since the beginning of spring, it has not flooded. Could it be... a problem with the soil?
She quickly asked someone to collect some planting soil and examined it carefully. She found that although the soil was fertile, the land had been wild before it was cultivated and had been abandoned for a long time. It was probably because no attention was paid to additional disinfection when the pit was dug, so some of the soil carried a certain amount of mycelium to overwinter.
After the beginning of spring, the temperature rises and the source of the initial infection breaks out.
"Sir, I'll go back and think of a solution."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the farmers suddenly stood up and said, "Madam Ruan, we bought all these wheat seedlings from you. Now that such a big problem has arisen, why don't you solve it here? What are you going back for? Don't you have other motives?"
"Li Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?! Everyone has seen how much Madam Ruan has done. Why would she go to such great lengths to play tricks on us just for such a small profit?"
"Mr. He, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can predict them. If it were ordinary wheat seedlings, how could this happen? Even if it did happen! How could our years of management methods be ineffective?"
Ruan Mian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the man named Li Yu.
It was a familiar face, but Ruan Mian found his words a little funny.
She walked up to Li Yu and said bluntly, "Mr. Li, don't judge a matter based on your limited personal knowledge."
"Are the previous management methods really effective in dealing with such a large-scale planting?"
"Also, I'd like to ask you, is the price that Lord Lin paid for the wheat seedlings from me higher than the usual market price? Also, you said I had other motives. What were they?"
"For money? How much can I earn? For profit? What kind of profit can I get from you?"
"If I work so hard, but end up raising an ignorant ungrateful person like you, I can just walk away and let you fend for yourselves! There are many other people in the village who can grow food and be self-sufficient!"
She spoke out angrily, leaving Li Yu with no room for rebuttal!
This also made the people around panic, fearing that Ruan Mian would bear a grudge against them because of this incident and would really ignore them.
He quickly consoled her: "Madam Ruan, don't bother with such a narrow-minded person. We all believe in you!"
"That's right, Li Yu, I think you've lost your mind!"
Seeing her genuine anger, Lin Yuantang had no choice but to step out. "Madam Ruan, this matter has nothing to do with you. For now, let's first figure out how to salvage these crops."
Ruan Mian didn't need to say anything more about what she had just said, as someone had already stood up for her and taught Li Yu a lesson.
If Lin Yuantang hadn't stopped him, someone would have probably beaten him up.
Although the diseased wheat now looks like it has fallen over, it is still possible to save it in the early stages of infection.
After she returned to the house, she touched the jade bracelet in a place where no one was around.
The room in the space where medicines could be exchanged exuded a pleasant medicinal aroma. In the past, she could use goodwill points to exchange for corresponding medicines, but she had never used it to exchange for anything other than human medicines, so she couldn't be sure whether she could succeed for a while.
