Chapter 64: Wang Xing'er is not crazy?
"Ms. Xu, you are finally here"
The man looked at Xu Miaomiao, his eyes seemed to be full of hope and shining.
Xu Miaomiao immediately squatted down to check the roots of the cotton, but they looked like they had been bitten by insects.
"I've heard the general situation from Wu Zhuang." Xu Miaomiao stood firm and looked at everyone: "I still hope everyone won't panic. It's common for plants to appear like this."
"But why didn't it appear before?"
"Yes, yes." The man next to him echoed, "There has never been such a situation before."
"Is there a disaster?"
A series of voices rang out among the crowd, but the last sentence made Village Chief Wang frown.
"There is a disaster star, there is a disaster star."
Following the direction of the voice, the person who was muttering was the crazy Wang Xing'er.
Everyone in the village looked at Xu Miaomiao suspiciously. Since a madman said so, they began to believe it, and everyone's expressions started to become weird.
"Girl Wang, then tell me who the madman is?"
The man glanced at everyone and spoke into Wang Xing'er's ear.
Wang Xing'er hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly. She suddenly pointed at Xu Miaomiao and laughed happily: "Disaster star, disaster star."
Xu Miaomiao was stunned. Could it be that Wang Xing'er doesn't know how to dress up?
Xu Miaomiao carefully observed the expression on Wang Xing'er's face, hoping to find some clues, but found nothing.
After being pointed at by Wang Xing'er, everyone looked at each other and looked at Xu Miaomiao, speechless.
At this time, Wang Xing'er continued to speak: "Xu disaster star, harm cotton, attract insects, eat roots and rhizomes, burn her."
"That's enough!" Village Chief Wang shouted in dissatisfaction and scolded everyone: "You all have nothing to do, right? Go home and don't come out."
After his scolding, everyone went home dissatisfied. When they left, they looked at Xu Miaomiao with contempt. No wonder the cotton field started to grow bugs when she came to it yesterday.
"Uh." Village Chief Wang touched his head uncomfortably: "Mrs. Xu, you paid for this cotton field. I won't blame you even if it's gone now. I don't believe the rumors about the disaster star either. You don't have to worry about it."
Listening to the man's words, Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly without saying a word and walked home on her own.
As a modern person, she certainly didn't believe in the rumors of disaster stars. She only cared about whether Wang Xing'er was really crazy or just pretending.
"Mother, how is the cotton field?"
As soon as she got home, Xu Miaomiao picked up Erbao and Xiaobao, and used her strongman-like strength to hold the two children.
But when he looked up, he saw Song Weiwei's worried eyes: "Hey, Xu Miaomiao, what's wrong?"
Although Song Weiwei felt sorry for her in her heart, her tone was still cold. She had heard a long time ago that the rumor in the village spread very quickly. Everyone said that she was a disaster star, but she, Song Weiwei, just didn't believe it.
"Nothing." Xu Miaomiao waved her hand nonchalantly and put the two children down: "It's just that there is a problem with the cotton field. Everyone is a little worried."
"That's all." Song Weiwei glared at her angrily, "You don't even know what the messages in the village are saying."
Xu Miaomiao smiled indifferently, but that night everyone rushed to Xu Miaomiao's house with torches.
"The disaster star is coming out!"
Shouting continued outside the house. Xu Miaomiao frowned and looked at them in dissatisfaction: "What's the matter?"
"Bah." A woman stepped forward and spat, pointing at Xu Miaomiao and shouting, "How dare you say that? It's because of you that the cotton fields have no harvest. It's all your fault."
"That's right, you're a calamity star. I always see you bringing pheasants and rabbits home. You must have borrowed the good fortune of the mountain, and the mountain god is angry, so he's taking revenge on the cotton field."
Xu Miaomiao was immediately confused. What was going on? Before she could say anything, Erbao blocked her way and said, "Don't talk about mother like that. Mother is not a disaster."
Xiaobao also glared at the person in front of him and protected Xu Miaomiao behind him.
Gu Yuanniang and Xuguo on the side also picked up wooden sticks, ready to fight with the people in front of them at any time.
Xu Miaomiao felt warm in her heart, and she looked at the people in front of her and said, "Everyone, this cotton field was agreed upon in advance. If there is profit, everyone will share it, and if there is loss, it will be my responsibility alone. The cost of the seeds was paid by me alone, so if there is no harvest, how can you blame me?"
Everyone stared at me and I stared at you, and no one could say a word for a long time.
After a long while, a voice came to mind: "But we take good care of it every day, and the energy we spend is no less than you."
“So you’ve already made money once.”
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, everyone was speechless. The previous profits did make them a lot of money, but after the first time they were thinking about the second time.
"So what? It doesn't change the fact that you are a disaster star."
"Then what are you going to do?"
One of the men looked at Xu Miaomiao for a long time and said, "Catch her and burn her to death tomorrow."
Then voices of agreement rang out one after another among the crowd.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly and said, "I can go with you."
"Miao Miao!" Gu Yuanniang around looked at her anxiously.
Xu Miaomiao gave her a reassuring look, then turned to the people in front of him and said, "I'll go with you."
As soon as they stretched out their hands, everyone couldn't wait to tie Xu Miaomiao up and leave.
"Mrs. Xu is sorry to have you stay here for a night."
Wu Zhuang sighed helplessly. He didn't believe that Xu Miaomiao was a disaster star at all, but he couldn't stand the words of the people and could only let Xu Miaomiao down for the time being.
"No problem."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the mouth and said: "But please do me a favor, Mr. Wu."
Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened, and she whispered to Wu Zhuang, "I wonder if I can make the people at the door sleep better tonight."
Wu Zhuang's eyes flickered, and he immediately nodded and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Don't worry, Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly.
After everyone left, she lay down comfortably in the back.
It was late at night and the chirping of cicadas could still be heard inside the house. The breeze came into the house through the window, which seemed a little strange, but Xu Miaomiao didn't care about it.
“Squeak—”
The door opened and a black figure flashed outside.
Looking at the two figures falling at the door, the black shadow laughed, and even his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Xu Miaomiao, do you admit your guilt?"
The ethereal voice echoed in the small house, making the eerie atmosphere even more eerie.
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao laughed softly and called out to the darkness: "Come out, I know it's you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a black cloak slowly walked out.
A pair of withered hands reached out and slowly took off the hat.
Looking closely, it was Wang Xing'er, but she was walking steadily and her mind was clear, and there was no sign of madness at all.
Wang Xing'er stared at Xu Miaomiao as if she wanted to see a hole in her.
