Chapter 166: You Can’t Eat Hot Tofu in a Hurry
Early the next morning, the village was in an uproar.
The two cows that the Yin family kept in the old cowshed are missing!
Before Xu Ying got up, rumors in the village were already spreading.
Xu Ying went to bed late last night, so when she was still fast asleep today, the door of the old house was slammed roughly.
"Doctor Xu, where are the two cows from the Yin family?"
"Did he die in the middle of the night and you took care of him?"
"Doctor Xu, are your medical skills really reliable? Are you an official staff member?"
…
Xu Ying opened his eyes when he heard the noisy sounds outside.
As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned by the huge crowd in front of her.
Leading the group was the village chief's nephew Miao Zhong, who was wearing loose trousers and was supported by Zhang Lei. Behind him followed Master Wu, the Yin couple, and the village chief.
The villagers who came with them were full of anger and shouted at Xu Ying to get out of Crescent Oasis.
Miao Zhong was the most excited, with an arrogant and smug smile on his face: "Doctor Xu, could it be that you killed the Yin couple's two cows and went to deal with the carcasses in the middle of the night, so you slept until now?"
Master Wu stood aside and watched the show with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Little girl, if you don't have enough experience, don't come out and embarrass yourself. It's not easy for me to raise two cows. I have been raising them for many years. You should compensate me quickly."
Master Wu pretended to be kind and said, "Oh, I forgot you just graduated from school and haven't worked for a few months yet. How can you have any money? How about I help you pay the compensation?"
"I've raised these two cows for so many years, and I've grown attached to them. I'm going to have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get them."
Miao Zhong echoed the sentiment from the side: "How can Master Wu pay back the money? Doctor Xu, if you know what's best for you, you should compensate him immediately. If your skills are not good enough, don't come out and embarrass yourself."
The Yin couple looked at Xu Ying with complicated and helpless eyes. They heard their son say last night that Doctor Xu was worried that a group of their children were drowning in the water, so he not only called them back from the water, but also taught them a lot of scientific knowledge, and warned the children to study hard, stop skipping classes, and go back to class.
The couple's impression of Xu Ying was getting better and better, but they didn't expect to hear such bad news in the morning.
Moreover, the little girl's treatment process was at least serious and rigorous. Maybe her skills were just not good enough.
Yin An's father stepped in to smooth things over: "Let's just forget it. These two cows are already sick and may not be able to be cured. Doctor Xu is also kind-hearted. I'll just treat these two cows as lost."
When Yin An's mother heard this, she wanted to say something but hesitated, and in the end she said nothing.
Miao Zhong looked at Yin An's mother's expression and continued to fan the flames, "Why wouldn't she pay? If she hadn't been so confident and stood up to challenge Master Wu, would anything have happened to these two cows?"
The reason why Miao Zhong was so anxious to get Xu Ying to leave was because the village was going to collectively purchase a batch of new fertilizers.
What if there is a veterinarian who knows a little bit about everything and tells the higher-ups about it, affecting their ability to make money?
The village chief still played the role of the good guy: "Don't worry, there might be another reason. Let the girl explain herself."
“Don’t act like we East Village people are being unreasonable.”
Xu Ying saw these people talking to each other and understood what was going on.
It is estimated that Miao Zhong saw that the two cows in the old cowshed were missing, and thought that the two cows had died of poisoning or were dying at night, and were disposed of by him, so now he hurriedly brought the villagers to come to his house to attack him.
"Excuse me, am I a supernatural being?" Xu Ying shrugged helplessly. "Can I, by myself, easily take out two cows that weigh ten times as much as me?"
Miao Zhong choked for a moment, then continued, "Don't you have an assistant? Your assistant can help you. Don't you have a car?"
"Even if I put two cows on my four-wheeled motorcycle, wouldn't the wheels be crushed?"
"My assistant was at the village committee yesterday, setting up a tent. Did he commit a crime against the law?"
Xu Ying looked at these clowns coldly and asked, "Did you get kicked in the head by a cow's hoof yesterday?"
When Miao Zhong heard Xu Ying mention last night, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes flickered.
That’s not right. Zhang Lei was watching the old house all night, and Xu Ying never left the house. How could he know what happened in the cowshed?
"What are you talking about? You've been kicked in the head by a cow's hoof!"
Miao Zhong's voice became a little louder because he felt guilty.
Xu Ying blew a whistle, and two desert cottontail rabbits jumped out of the house.
When Miao Zhong saw the two rabbits, he reflexively dodged backwards, and the wound on his foot also hurt.
"Oh, are you scared now?"
Xu Ying chuckled and took out his tablet to play the content captured by the sports camera yesterday for the villagers.
"I'll show you something interesting. Last night at two o'clock, Mr. Miao Zhong from our village was very concerned about the two cows in the old cowshed. He was worried that Yin An's two cows would not die, so he came over to give them some extra feed."
The video playing on the tablet was the entire process of Miao Zhong committing the crime yesterday, but the shooting angle was very strange, as if someone was lying on the ground filming upwards.
"In the end, I ended up losing more than I gained. I was kicked by a cow and bitten by a rabbit."
Miao Zhong was dumbfounded when he saw that he was clearly captured in the video at night.
Xu Ying took out a sealed bag of white powder and said, "This white powder is poisonous. I wonder what they are thinking by poisoning sick cows in the middle of the night."
"When the chemical inspector comes today, I'll take this bag of powder to him for testing."
The villagers were stunned for a moment. Didn’t the village chief say that Miao Zhong accidentally injured his foot while helping everyone carry a new batch of fertilizers overnight?
The Yin couple came over to watch the video on the tablet, then looked at the bag of powder in Xu Ying's hand. After watching it, an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"Miao Zhong, why are you doing this?"
"Of course, it's to make you think my animal health skills are poor, and to praise Master Wu!"
Before the villagers could recover from their shock, Xu Ying played the audio that was saved from last night's eavesdropping.
In the audio, the village chief's true identity was exposed. Hearing the familiar voice saying such words, the villagers looked at the village chief in disbelief.
"Village chief, is it you who is speaking?"
Although this is the question, most villagers already know the answer.
Xu Ying subsequently played several more recordings. After realizing that the frog team and the eavesdropping device were very effective, she placed "spy bun frogs" in the rooms where the village chief and Master Wu lived that night.
The content coming out of the audio was a conversation between the village chief and his nephew.
Miao Zhong: "Uncle Miao, the two cows that Doctor Xu saved are gone. I guess the medicine she gave me yesterday took effect. The two cows are dying, so she quickly disposed of them overnight. Let's go to the village tomorrow morning and spread the word, and have the villagers drive Doctor Xu out of the village!"
