Quickly wiping her tears with her sleeves, Mengyue explained, "No, Mom just didn't do it. I was just standing here playing."
"Yes, just stand and play."
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Yueyue, you did nothing wrong. You don't need to apologize to your mother. Just come back, come back."
Seeing her mother's red eyes, Mengyue knew what she was talking about. However, she did not point it out. Instead, she held the horse with one hand and held Meng's hand with the other.
"Mom, it's getting dark, let's go inside."
"Yes, he. Oh, by the way, have you eaten? I'll warm up some chicken soup for you in the pot when you come back."
"Go inside and change your clothes first. I'll get you some water to wash your face and cook."
Mengyue has money in her hands, so she won't let herself suffer when she goes out for two days. She will provide the best food and accommodation.
She wanted to say that she was not hungry, but when she saw her mother's earnest and concerned look, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room first."
"Hey, Tuo."
Mrs. Yu was very satisfied to see her daughter return safely, and she didn't want to ask her where she had been or what she had done in the past two days.
She knew in her heart that with her daughter's ability, it would be easy for her to leave.
But she had no way of finding her daughter, so as long as her daughter was willing to come back, she would be satisfied.
Thinking that her daughter was still pregnant and couldn't eat or sleep outside, Mrs. Meng didn't dare to hesitate. She went to the kitchen and swiftly brought the food to the table, waiting for Mengyue to come out and eat.
Mengyue opened the door and was about to go in when she encountered an obstacle under her feet.
When she looked down, she saw the little tiger cub lying on her feet like a naughty child, with its head raised and staring at her with its big round eyes.
Mengyue looked at the little tiger cub and strangely saw a hint of grievance in the little tiger cub's eyes.
Damn it.
“Ouch…”
The little tiger cub watched as his owner locked him in the room for two days and didn't come back. What's more, he didn't even leave him any water to drink, let alone food.
It can be said that it has been hungry for the past two days. Now it is not easy for the owner to come back, and it has not seen the owner give it food. It feels very aggrieved.
“Ouch…”
The little tiger cub bit the corner of Mengyue's clothes with his mouth and dragged her into the room.
Mengyue was afraid of hurting the tiger cub, so she followed the tiger cub's force and went back to the room.
Only when a tiger and a man stood beside the table did the little tiger cub open his mouth and push the bowl with his legs.
When she saw the bowl, Mengyue remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to leave food for the tiger cub, and she felt a little guilty.
"Little tiger cub, I'm sorry, I should have left some food for you, you must be starving!"
While apologizing to the little tiger cub, Mengyue took out the magical water bag from the space and poured out half a bowl of spiritual spring water.
When the little tiger cub saw the water he was drinking, he could not hear what Meng Yue said. All he saw in his eyes was the spiritual spring water.
The moment Mengyue put the bowl to its mouth, it started drinking immediately.
"Oh, it's this water. Drinking this water makes me feel better."
Seeing that the little tiger cub was drinking happily, Mengyue did not disturb it. She changed her clothes and went out to eat.
After eating the loving meal prepared by the lady, it was already late, and I had to run around outside for two more days.
Mengyue and Shiyu said good night and went back to their rooms to sleep.
It was just that on this moonless night, there wasn't a single bright spot in the night sky. Even the stars had vanished without a trace. The world seemed to be plunged into a deep silence.
The entire Xinghua Village seemed unusually silent. There was no sound of wind, not even the barking of dogs. In the hazy darkness, everything was filled with ignorance and uncertainty.
However, these did not affect Mengyue. She slept soundly that night, and the fatigue brought to her body by days of running around slowly dissipated.
The sun rises from the horizon as usual, and the villagers get up early as usual.
Soon the entire Xinghua Village became busy. The elderly and children who could walk carried small bamboo baskets and catching nets and went to the fields to catch locusts. The women did housework at home, and the strong laborers consciously did the heavy physical work.
Some dug ponds, while others cleaned rivers.
Everyone worked in an orderly manner in the past few days. With the pulley system, the efficiency has been greatly improved.
But today, someone just arrived at the river and saw a chaotic scene.
"Ah, who the hell did this?"
"What, what happened?"
The person asking the question was confused and walked forward. The situation before him made him unable to remain calm.
"Fuck! This is too immoral."
"That's right, that wicked thing is like this. Don't you know that the waterwheel and bamboo pipe are related to watering the fields?"
"Quick, tell the village chief what's going on here."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll call the village chief over right now. Don't move. We must find out who did this."
"Don't worry, we all know the seriousness of the situation and will naturally protect the scene."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
After the man who had called the village chief had left, the remaining able-bodied laborers stood by the river, looking at the fallen waterwheel and bamboo pipe, and began to discuss the matter.
Some people said that it was probably not done by people from their own village, but probably from another village.
"I don't think it belongs to our village. After all, every household in the village uses the water brought down from the mountains. Who would be so stupid as to destroy the waterwheel and bamboo pipe?"
"Yes, I think what Nian said is right. All the fields in our village have been watered in the past few days. I guess someone is jealous of our village and is doing this to cause trouble."
"Who did it, then?"
"Who knew, there was no one guarding here last night." Looking at the broken waterwheel, Qiang felt very sad. This was something he and his father had never allowed to be built, and yet it was destroyed by someone.
"I think we must find the bad guy. Otherwise, if the waterwheel is repaired, who knows if he will come again."
"That's right. It's easy to steal, but you can't be on guard against thieves all day. We work all day long, so naturally we want to rest at night. We don't have the energy to stay here and guard against others doing bad things." Yan said word by word.
"What Yan said is correct, but who broke it?"
Everyone was wondering who had done the trick, so they chopped up the waterwheel, pushed it over, opened the bamboo pipe and threw it on the ground. When the village chief heard about the incident by the river, he hurried over.
Originally, Lao Gen came to his house to look for him, but after he finished speaking, he didn't quite believe it.
But he and Lao Gen grew up naked together, so he knew Lao Gen's character and whether he would lie.
He didn't even bother to wait for the old roots, but took small steps and ran quickly to the river.
The speed of running was too fast, no one like Lao Gen, who had just recovered from a serious illness, could match it.
However, Lao Gen did not dare to delay and hurried to the river.
