Chapter 124 Throwing out the Bait
But where do these seeds come from?
After confirming that there was no epidemic in the village, all the people blocking the way out of the village were evacuated, and Liang Huanxue was able to ride on a ox cart with her father to go to the county town to take a look.
The county town is not as lively as before. I guess that's because the people who left haven't come back yet.
Rice is more expensive than before, the price has increased several times.
Even the price of aged rice has skyrocketed, and most people can't afford it.
Liang Huanxue walked around the county town but didn't find any place selling seeds.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the gate of Zhang's house.
Liang Huanxue looked up and found that the guards' faces looked unfamiliar.
Not a single one looked familiar.
No matter how unpredictable Mr. Zhang's temper is, he wouldn't replace all the servants in his house, right?
Just when she was wondering, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Butler!"
Liang Huanxue looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that even the housekeeper was no longer the guy who took advantage of his power.
Mr. Zhang seemed to trust his butler very much, so he replaced even someone he trusted so much?
What kind of changes happened to the Zhang family?
Liang Huanxue couldn't help but think of the wizard from before.
Could it be because of him?
"Huanxue, what are you looking at?" Liang Huanxue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her.
I didn't know what she was looking at, but she was so engrossed in it. I called her twice but she didn't hear me. I could only block her sight to make her come back to her senses.
"Dad, the housekeeper and servants of the Zhang Mansion have all been replaced. I find it a bit strange." Liang Huanxue said.
"There's nothing strange about a wealthy family changing a few people." Liang Huanxue didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
So what if someone really was plotting against me?
Isn't it because he has done so many evil things?
Liang Huanxue nodded and said, "Dad is right. We really shouldn't care."
But she was vaguely worried.
Mr. Zhang was already bad enough, and that wizard seemed to be even worse than him.
I am afraid that there will be no peaceful days in Qinghe County.
Liang Huanxue turned around and continued walking towards the shop in front.
Finally, she found a shop on a corner that sold the seeds she wanted.
"I can't guarantee you that these seeds can still germinate. As you know, there have been disasters recently. The seeds have been left here. I'm afraid they have gone bad." The owner was very honest and told Liang Huanxue that these seeds were most likely useless.
However, Liang Huanxue had her own way to awaken the seeds, so she bought all the seeds without saying a word.
"Huanxue, didn't you hear him say that these seeds are very likely to have gone bad?" Liang Huanxue didn't expect her daughter to be so generous that she bought all the seeds before knowing whether they were good or bad.
"Dad, this seed looks fine at first glance. Believe me, it's right!" Liang Huanxue was full of confidence.
What else can Liang Huanxue do? She can only empty her wallet for her daughter.
After buying the seeds, Liang Huanxue went back with him.
She found a basin, put some of the seeds she bought in it, and drew some spiritual spring water from the space to soak the seeds.
The seeds, which had originally had no vitality, were awakened by the spiritual spring water and actually sprouted on the second day.
"Sprouted?" Liang Huanxue looked at the seeds sprouting in the pot and found it unbelievable.
When he held the seeds in his hands yesterday, some of them already had mold spots.
Can it really sprout?
"Dad, didn't I tell you? No problem!" Liang Huanxue grinned.
She bought radish and cabbage seeds, two of the best vegetables to grow after a flood.
Liang Huanxue transplanted the cultivated seedlings into the fields.
Although the current farmland is not suitable for planting, the seedlings have been nourished by the spiritual spring water before, so even in such land, they are still growing well.
But when Liang Huanxue went to check the next day, she found that the seedlings were gone.
They were uprooted and not a single one was left.
Liang Huanxue's teeth itched with hatred.
Those were the seedlings she had cultivated with great difficulty, and she didn't know which bastard had stolen them.
"Don't be angry, Huanxue. Dad will definitely help you catch this bad guy!" Liang Huanxue had not expected that there would be people who would do such a thing in this day and age.
What's the point of stealing cabbage and radish seedlings? Are you just going to use those few leaves to fill your teeth?
Liang Huanxue searched the village but couldn't find the stolen seedlings.
Liang Huanxue didn't want to let the thief go just like that. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I must catch this thief!"
If you want to catch a thief, you have to throw out the bait first.
Liang Huanxue returned home, took out a few seeds, and cultivated a few seedlings.
She planted the seedlings in the field again and left a bug there to guard them.
When I went there again the next day, the seedlings had disappeared again.
Liang Huanxue whistled softly, and the insect flew to the back of her hand. After flapping its wings twice, it flew up again and led the way for her.
Soon, she was brought to the front of a yard.
The yard looked dilapidated, but Liang Huanxue recognized it at a glance.
That is Liu Erzhuang's yard.
The owner of this yard must have died in Tagang Village. Could it be that Liu Chunhua has returned to live here?
It wouldn't be surprising if it was her doing something like this.
After all, she couldn't bear to see the Liang family doing well.
But the insect did not fly into the yard, but turned and flew backwards.
The house at the back, if Liang Huanxue remembered correctly, should be Wu Hongcheng's home.
Liu Erzhuang was detained here and forced to do hard labor because he stole the bacon from his family.
I'm afraid even he himself didn't expect that he would stay here for so many years.
In Liang Huanxue's impression, although Wu Hongcheng is reckless, he is not a bad person.
Why did he steal the vegetable seedlings from her field?
Liang Huanxue was just about to follow the bug to see if it was Wu Hongcheng who did it, when she saw two unfamiliar faces walking out of Liu Erzhuang's house.
She was sure she had never met these two people before.
So, they just fled here?
There are so many places to go, why would you choose the place where you just escaped from a flood?
"Huanxue!" Liang Huanxue found that Huanxue was not at home and immediately went out to look for her.
I saw her small figure from a distance and immediately called out.
As a result, this shout attracted the attention of the two people in the yard.
Liang Huanxue didn't show any guilty look at all, she just ran after the dragonfly that was flying and stopping in front of her.
It seemed as if she came here just because of this dragonfly.
The two men didn't keep their gaze on her for too long, and turned around to continue cleaning up the things in the yard.
Although Liu Erzhuang's house was also soaked by the flood, it has not become a dangerous building.
