Chapter 274 Why can’t I eat?
The governor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The village head didn't dare to respond, but he had to say something. "My three lords, after we finish picking this crop, the strawberries will become fewer and fewer. There won't be as many next crop."
The governor said angrily, "Your village must pay tribute as much as you can! Even if there is only one, you must present it to the princess, understand!"
"Hmph! What's Lawoqi?" A familiar little baby voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the chubby little ball dragging its short legs and arms, rushing towards them like a ferocious calf.
"Master Xiaojiu!" the villagers whispered.
The village head said hurriedly: "Xiao Jiuer, go home quickly!"
First, with so many officers and soldiers, I was worried that Xiao Jiuer would suffer.
Secondly, the officers and soldiers came for tribute. To offend them would be equivalent to offending the emperor, and Heihe Village could not afford it!
"I don't want fat, I want seven strawberries!" The little dumpling rushed over.
"Child, get out of the way!" The guards stopped her.
The little dumpling was very agile. He swung his little arms and walked through the crowd, and stood directly in front of the governor and the prefect.
"You are so cute, why are you bullying people?"
The little girl put her hands on her waist, frowned, and glared at the two of them fiercely.
The prefect had just been irritated by Zhou Huaining and was looking for a place to vent his anger, so he pointed at the little girl and angrily said, "Where did this little brat come from? How can you be so disrespectful and yelling like that? How can you be so disrespectful?"
The little dumpling stamped his feet and said, "Why don't you give me seven strawberries?"
The prefect was too lazy to talk to the little brat and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, you wild girl, you have no knowledge, but you are so bold!"
Then he asked the guards to move the strawberries out of the village.
Little Dumpling shouted, "Put it down! I won't sell it to you! I won't sell it to you!"
"What did you say?" The prefect finally looked Xiao Jiuer in the eye.
Xiao Jiuer shouted, "Strawberries are for everyone! Every one of them gets seven!"
"How dare you! What do you mean everyone can eat it?" the prefect said with a dark face, "Since it has become a tribute, it is not something you can covet!"
The little dumpling cried out, "Why? It's just Guoguo. I love Guoguo!"
The prefect wanted to get angry, but was worried that Zhou Huaining would go crazy, so he had to endure it and said, "Why are you crying? You're lucky. The princess can't eat dirty fruit anyway. All the dirty fruit on the ground is yours. Just pick it up and eat it!"
Then he ordered: "Take the fruit away and send it to the capital immediately!"
"Hmph! No one should even think about Seven!"
Little Dumpling waved his hand and suddenly a strong wind blew.
The strong wind blew up the dust and pebbles on the ground. For a moment, the wind was blowing, the sky was dark, and it seemed like the end of the world had come.
Everyone's clothes were rustling in the wind, and the crowd was in a panic.
The guards who were carrying the strawberries were blinded by the wind and sand, and they covered their eyes and screamed.
"What's going on? Why is there such a strong wind suddenly blowing?"
Just as the governor opened his mouth, a small stone flew into his mouth with a "biu" sound and got stuck in his throat.
“Cough, cough, cough!” The governor coughed loudly. “Someone, help! I’m stuck and can’t breathe!”
But the prefect and the guards were blown to and fro by the wind and were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have time to care about him?
The governor was so stuck that he rolled his eyes and his face turned purple. The threat of death made him think of the former governor, the former education commissioner, and the former prefect, all of whom died in Xianchuan County!
A chill rose from below. At this moment, the governor's heart was filled with fear and despair. Could it be that he would also die in Xianchuan County?!
Oh my god, he shouldn't have come to Xianchuan County! He shouldn't have come!
"Cough cough cough... Ugh..."
The governor struggled to his death, his eyes turned black and foam came out of his mouth.
The moment I fell to the ground, the wind suddenly stopped.
The world suddenly returned to peace, as if the strong wind just now was just an illusion.
Everyone dusted themselves off. The prefect and the others finally noticed something was wrong with the governor and hurried over, "Governor, what's wrong with you?"
The governor was speechless, only a dying gasp came from his throat.
"What should we do? What should we do? Zhou Huaining, find a doctor quickly!" the prefect shouted.
At this moment, a baby voice rang out, "Open it like this!"
Immediately afterwards, a small figure appeared in the governor's distracted vision. The little kid squatted down calmly and punched the governor in the upper abdomen.
"Little baby, what are you doing!"
The prefect was about to reach out to grab Xiao Jiuer, but he saw the governor let out a loud breath.
"Governor, how are you?"
The governor opened his eyes, and the pebble stuck in his throat was washed out by a gust of air, and fresh air rushed into his chest.
"Cough, cough, cough," the governor spat out the pebble and came back to life.
"Governor, I was frightened to death!" The prefect quickly helped the governor up.
The governor gasped and looked at Xiao Jiuer with gratitude, "Little kid, you saved my life!"
"You're welcome!" Little Dumpling's face was serious, and he was obviously still angry.
At this time, someone discovered something was wrong.
"Where are the strawberries?"
"Why are the strawberries gone?"
The guard yelled, "Sir, the strawberries are gone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The prefect helped the governor to calm down without even turning his head.
"Strawberry is really gone!" the guards cried.
The governor and the prefect looked together and found that more than ten baskets that were previously filled to the brim were now empty, and the strawberries were gone!
"How could this happen? How is this possible?"
The governor, who had just recovered, turned pale again and sat down on the ground. "What on earth is going on? Can anyone tell me how this happened?"
The prefect shouted at the villagers, "Are you guys up to something? You don't want to pay tribute, so you're hiding the strawberries, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Huaining said lazily, "Who can have such ability in such a short time?"
The guards also said, "We were right next to the strawberry basket, but we didn't see anyone."
"Who was that? Could it be a ghost?" the prefect asked doubtfully, "Is there a ghost in Heihe Village?"
Suddenly, an anxious voice came, "Village head, something bad has happened! A strange wind just blew up, and the strawberries in the field are buried in the sand!"
"What?"
The village head was horrified, and everyone rushed towards the fields in two steps.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
All the fields and edges where strawberries were planted were buried with sand and stones!
The villagers hurriedly dug up the sand and stones and found that the strawberry vines that were originally hanging with green fruits had been broken and could no longer be saved.
The governor and others came over breathlessly. After seeing the scene, the governor was out of breath and almost fainted again.
The governor pinched his philtrum and said unsteadily, "Village head, can these strawberries be replanted?"
The village head frowned and said, "Governor, even if we want to plant, we have to wait until next spring."
"It's over, it's over..." The governor's legs softened, and he trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind. "Strawberry is gone. How can I explain this to the emperor?"
