The Mo family children, young and old, followed the one-eyed dragon straight up the mountain. By then, a group of people had gathered around the rice paddies, pointing and whispering.
"Hey, who's so shameless? Why would they make a fuss about rice paddies?"
"Shh... Keep your voice down. The rice paddies of Madam Mo's family are growing so well, it's no wonder someone is envious and jealous..."
"So mean, aren't you afraid your baby will be born without an anus..."
"Madam Mo has arrived..."
"Madam Mo..."
"Madam Mo..."
"village head……"
Li Changgeng and Liu Cuihua also rushed over. With such a big incident, his job as village chief was over.
Tie Zhu looked distressed and guilty: "Sister-in-law, all the fish have turned belly up... the ducks are barely hanging on... it's all my fault for not watching the rice paddies properly."
"Tiezhu, how can I blame you?" Mo Qingcheng glanced around but didn't find anyone suspicious.
This paddy field was isolated, and for some reason it grew better than the other paddy fields, by about one meter.
Mo Qingcheng planned to use this rice paddy as a small experimental field, but this incident happened, which was truly unexpected.
Gou Sheng's wife frowned slightly. Who was so gratifying? She wanted to take action herself but was afraid of being caught and maimed. This person who did such a despicable thing was truly a saint…
"Sister-in-law, let me help you catch a duck and a few fish. Take a close look and see if they can be saved." With that, Tiezhu was about to go into the water.
"Wait..." Mo Qingcheng quickly stopped her, "Be careful of poisoning, there's no cure..."
Tie Zhu was startled: "Sister-in-law, I'm tall and strong, it shouldn't be like this..."
"It's best to be careful... I'll do it." Mo Qingcheng took out a pair of thin, transparent gloves that went past her elbows from her bosom and put them on.
Li Ergou handed over a specially made duck-catching net. Mo Qingcheng scooped the water out, and two plump ducklings and several fish fry were scooped up and put into a bucket.
Mo Qingcheng examined it carefully, then took a small water sample. She frowned slightly; the herbicide had a faint smell of mercury mixed in.
Could it be that there are other time travelers here as well? Or...? Mo Qingcheng's eyes narrowed as she fell into deep thought.
Until she heard the children's cries, Mo Qingcheng shook her head and looked up: "Don't worry, perhaps... there's still hope..."
"Really? Mommy, you're amazing!" Bai Zimo stepped forward and kissed Mo Qingcheng on the cheek, his little face full of pride.
Mo Qingcheng nodded slowly: "Thank you all for the matchmaking. I'll go back and think of a way to prepare the antidote."
Bai Yueniang asked with a worried expression, "Sister Mo, can these fish and ducks be saved? Can the rice be saved too?"
"I'll do my best..." Mo Qingcheng stared thoughtfully at the poisonous rice field, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Mother, let's hurry back and prepare the antidote." Mu Wanqing shook Mo Qingcheng's sleeve, the little girl's eyes sparkling, eager to try.
Li Ergou and his brothers stayed behind to prevent further damage to the rice paddies. Li Tiezhu, Li Changgeng, and a group of other men also voluntarily stayed behind to patrol the other rice paddies and check for any signs of vandalism.
Mo Qingcheng nodded, took Mu Wanqing's little hand, and hurriedly left. Bai Ziming pouted, thinking, "My mother has changed her mind..."
Shangguan Yichen thought for a moment, then told Shangguan Yunxi to take good care of her younger siblings before quickly chasing after them.
Mo Qingcheng stopped in her tracks, turned around and smiled lightly: "Together?"
"Hmph!" the little boy snorted. "I'm afraid you'll act impulsively and do something weird. We're still young and need your protection."
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Nobody would believe that!"
Shangguan Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, and he almost slipped and knelt down...
