Leisurely Taoyuan

Chapter 55

Wang Xiaoyu was overjoyed. He didn't expect He Xiaoxiao to take the initiative to invite him. "Hehe" smiled and said, "How much salary do you give me?"

He Xiaoxiao shook her head and said solemnly, "No salary?"

Wang Xiaoyu shouted on purpose: "What are you doing here without a salary? Working as a coolie for nothing?"

He Xiaoxiao stomped her feet angrily, finally calmed down, pouted and said, "Isn't it enough to have me with you?"

Wang Xiaoyu instantly felt his heart melt, when will He Xiaoxiao take the initiative to confess to himself!

Wang Xiaoyu put his arms around He Xiaoxiao's shoulders, nodded and said: "Well, I am willing to come and help. But it will take a while for the russula to be over. It is the first time for the villagers to plant russula and they don't know the technology. Need help!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoyu agreed, He Xiaoxiao was very happy, with a smile on her face, she nodded her head vigorously: "Yeah."

Only then did He Xiaoxiao bid farewell to Wang Xiaoyu, and when she turned around, she deliberately asked, "Xiaoyu, is the food at the pretty widow's house delicious?"

Wang Xiaoyu could clearly hear the sourness in He Xiaoxiao's words, smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head with his hands: "Xiao Xiao, you already know? That, yes, it was Uncle Li who invited me over!"

He Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't say you shouldn't go!"

After finishing speaking, He Xiaoxiao pouted her cherry mouth, turned and left.

Wang Xiaoyu felt that he was a little uncertain about He Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so he had to go home and sleep.

Time passed day by day, and another 10 days passed in the blink of an eye.At this time, the red mushrooms in the whole village have grown very big.A villager specially measured it, good guy, most of them have grown to 10 centimeters high, very thick, and each flower is about 3 taels.

What Xiaoyu said was right, if it grows a few more days, it will surely grow to a weight of half a catty.

Seeing that only 20 days later, the red mushroom has grown like this.According to this growth trend, the red mushrooms can be harvested in less than 10 days.

Russula grows so well, it must be able to buy a big price.

The villagers were overjoyed at the thought that they could make a lot of money in just over a month.Fearing that there might be something wrong with the red mushrooms that are about to be harvested, the villagers spent every day in the red mushroom fields, weeding and fertilizing, taking care of them very carefully.

Wang Xiaoyu also specially called the villagers together for a meeting, saying: "Villagers, we will start harvesting red mushrooms in a few days. This time the red mushroom planting is better than expected, and I believe there will be a bumper harvest of."

"I have already contacted several owners of the farmer's market in the city and asked them to come to our village to buy red mushrooms on time. The price is a lot, and it is still 150 yuan a catty. So during this period, everyone is ready to harvest red mushrooms For example, you need to understand the precautions for picking red mushrooms. Ripe red mushrooms are very fragile and will be damaged if you don’t pay attention. Everyone should prepare bamboo baskets in advance and put soft plastic film inside..."

Wang Xiaoyu explained them one by one, very carefully.Everyone listened carefully, and every villager had a happy smile on his face.

After explaining, Wang Xiaoyu was relieved, and then went home.Thinking that he would be able to harvest red mushrooms in a few days, he was also excited.

After all, this is the first time I have led the villagers to plant red mushrooms and make money, so I am inevitably a little nervous.

After going back to sleep at night, Wang Xiaoyu dreamed that the villagers had harvested so many red mushrooms that even more than 10 large trucks from the city could not fit them!

Wang Xiaoyu laughed happily and woke up directly.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the yard: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, it's not good, something happened to the red mushroom field!"

Wang Xiaoyu turned over in a jerk and hurried out, seeing Liu Wang shouting outside sweating and anxious.

Wang Xiaoyu's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling, so he quickly asked, "Brother Liu Wang, what's wrong?"

Liu Wang pointed his hand and said out of breath: "Big, big things are bad, the red mushroom field has been destroyed, Xiaoyu, you, you go and see it!"

Wang Xiaoyu felt a "thump" in his heart, and immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Go, take me there!"

Liu Wang hurriedly took Wang Xiaoyu to the russula field, and saw that many villagers had already surrounded the russula field, and all of them showed anxious expressions on their faces.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu coming, they seemed to have found the backbone, and quickly surrounded him.

"Xiaoyu, you are here, the red mushroom field has been destroyed, what should I do?"

"That's right, a lot of red mushrooms were destroyed in my field! The loss is not small!"

"That's right, my family's land was also destroyed, several of them were destroyed, who is so wicked to do such a thing!"

"..."

Wang Xiaoyu frowned when he heard that, so he went to look at each house.But no, the russula fields of several houses were destroyed one after another, and many russulas were directly broken and broken. Approximately, each household lost nearly ten or twenty russulas on average, which is equivalent to One or two thousand oceans have been lost!
Wang Xiaoyu also felt distressed for a while, carefully observing who did this bad thing.

At this time, the villagers had already shouted angrily.

"These traces are fresh, they were made last night!"

"That's right, who is so vicious and does such a heartless thing!"

"Damn it, I don't care who he is when I catch him, I have to pull his skin and constrict his tendons!"

There seemed to be something in the words of the villagers, and indeed a villager shouted, "The village chief's family did it, right?"

Immediately, some villagers echoed angrily: "Who else is there besides him? His house is the only one in the village that doesn't grow red mushrooms. He sees that we grow red mushrooms well, and he is jealous of everyone!"

"Yes, so he and his son Zhu Xiaoxiong came out to cause destruction together. Neither father and son are good people!"

"Who are these people, it's simply too wicked!"

"Come on, let's break down the door of his house and explain to him!"

The villagers shouted indignantly, and they were about to go to the village chief's house together.

Wang Xiaoyu quickly stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, I don't think this is done by the village chief's family."

Everyone was taken aback, and the second uncle Wang Zhibo shouted: "Xiaoyu, why are you still speaking for the village chief's family? He is obviously the one who made it bad!"

Wang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No, I looked carefully at the traces in the ground, and I don't think it was done by humans."

"What? Didn't someone do it? What did that do?" The villagers asked, looking at me and looking at you.

Wang Xiaoyu squatted down, pointed to the fresh marks in the ground and said: "Although the ground is already messy, if you look carefully, you can still see the clues."

"Look carefully here, does it look like a series of footprints? And these footprints are very small, they don't look like human footprints, they should be some kind of animal."

Not to mention that they hadn't noticed it yet, after Wang Xiaoyu said it, everyone looked carefully and saw clearly that the marks were a series of very strange footprints.

"Ah, what kind of footprints are these?" A villager exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Xiaoyu thought: "Some wild animal must have caused the damage!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoyu followed the footprints, and soon came to the foot of a barren hill. Those footprints came out of the bushes in the barren hill.

"Wild animals must have come down from the mountain and ate a lot of red mushrooms!" Wang Xiaoyu said with certainty.

This time, the villagers became even more anxious.When wild animals come for the first time, they will come for the second time.Maybe they will go down the mountain every night, wouldn't they want to ruin all the red mushroom fields of the villagers!All the painstaking efforts of the villagers were in vain.

The most important thing is that the wild animals in the mountains are cunning.It's not that easy to catch them.

"Xiaoyu, what should we do?" Aunt Zhang asked anxiously.

Wang Xiaoyu comforted: "Everyone, don't worry, there will be a solution!"

At this moment, Yang Baiyun, who had been hunting before, suddenly heard angrily shouting: "Damn it, I will guard here tonight, if any animal comes down again, I will shoot its head off!"
