Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

These few words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone around them looked over. After seeing with their own eyes that water was indeed being drawn, everyone felt extremely excited, like a tree stretching out of the desert. People meet Ganlin.

"The water is coming. Sister-in-law Yao must have thought of a good idea."

"Let's work harder and put out the fire soon."

For a time, everyone in Dahe Village was full of energy and hope was rekindled. The movements of their hands became faster and faster, and buckets of water were thrown towards the fire. The fire was finally under control.

At this time, no one could care about Shen Nanshan. Everyone was busy collecting water.

And Shen Nanshan didn't need to do anything else, just stay by the water pipe.

Some people carried water, and some used water from pipes to put out the fire. After a two-pronged approach, the fire was finally put out. At this time, the sky was already turning white.

Everyone collapsed on the ground without any energy, not caring about anything else.

Yao Shu was not much better at this time. Even if she didn't go back and forth to put out the fire, she was still very tired after a busy night and could hardly open her eyes.

But now is not the time to sleep. The fire issue has not been dealt with yet. How could a fire break out if everything is fine?

There was no open fire in this field at all. If there was no fire at night, there would definitely not be a sudden fire. Moreover, the fire was too strong, and it didn't take long to burn a large area.

Don't blame Yao Shu for the conspiracy theory. Looking at the recent situation in Dahe Village, it is very likely that someone is behind the scenes.

She held her breath in her heart. If she was asked to find the culprit, she would definitely not make it easy for him.

To attack food and destroy so much food is really unethical. Food is the life of farmers. Even if there are some contradictions, it will not be so cruel.

"Cuckoo."

The sound from her stomach interrupted Yao Shu's contemplation. After working for so long, she was already tired and hungry.

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes lingered on the tip of Yao Shu's nose, but her face became extremely ugly, and mosquitoes were almost trapped around her eyebrows. Even if she wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, it was definitely not under this condition.

But they cannot waste it, they still have to reduce losses as much as possible.

"Village chief, let everyone dig out the sweet potatoes and eat them. At least they can be enough to cover one or two meals."

Yao Shu suppressed her anger and said to the village chief.

The scorched fields here contained more than one or two meals of food, and even half a month's worth of food for everyone. This was thanks to their timely efforts to put out the fire. If the fire had spread, they would have been miserable this winter.

"Hey, I'll just let everyone do their work, and I'll take whatever I can get."

The village chief sighed deeply, and even wiped the water from the corners of his eyes when he turned around.

There was an atmosphere of sadness in the crowd. Everyone worked in silence. Pieces of black coal were dug out of the ground. Not to mention how uncomfortable they felt.

"Why are we so miserable? Doesn't God want us to live a good life?"

"Woooo..."

This complaint was like water dripping into a frying pan, and choked sobs instantly came from the crowd. Everyone felt very aggrieved. It was so sad to see the loss of food, especially this For a few days, the owner of the sandy land almost wanted to die.

Feeling the movement around him, Lin Dafu felt more and more uncomfortable and guilty. If only he had not fallen asleep, had paid attention to the movement around him, and put out the fire immediately when it started, there would not have been such a tragedy. .

Unable to bear the condemnation in his heart, he walked to the village chief with heavy steps, lowered his head and said.

"Village Chief, blame me. If I hadn't slept during the vigil, this wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault for sleeping like a dead pig..."

"Oh, this, I can't blame you."

The village chief really couldn't bear to blame all the faults in this matter on Lin Dafu. Who fell asleep in the middle of the night? Even if Lin Dafu had neglected his duties, it was not like this.

Once it was really said that it was Lin Dafu's fault, some villagers would vent all their grievances on him if the situation was not guaranteed. This was not something that ordinary people could bear.

"But I..."

"Stop talking about this, did you find anyone suspicious at night?"

Seeing that Lin Dafu did not understand the village chief's good intentions and was still talking to himself, Yao Shu immediately interrupted him.

On this matter, she and the village chief had the same idea, but the fault could not be attributed to Lin Dafu.

"what?"

Lin Dafu had not yet reacted to Yao Shu's inquiry. All he could think about was that he had done something wrong, so he couldn't care about anything else.

Faced with his situation, Yao Shu had to ask again patiently.

"Did you see any suspicious people around at night? Especially people from other villages."

"No, I didn't see anyone."

If not, Lin Dafu would not have fallen asleep. He just watched nothing happen, and then fell asleep uncontrollably.

Yao Shu's question was so clear that the village chief responded and confirmed with Yao Shu.

"Sister-in-law, are you saying that this fire was set by someone from another village?"

When he thought that it might be a sin made by a foreigner, his expression became extremely serious, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"I'm just suspicious, otherwise how could something so good catch fire?"

Yao Shu didn't bite the bullet, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, it was hard to ignore.

Her words instantly woke everyone up. When everyone thought of this possibility, the anger in their chests continued to surge. Looking at the posture, everyone wanted to pick up the guy and go find the person who set the fire.

"This group of unscrupulous turtles must be behind this."

"It doesn't mean we will have a good harvest."

"It must be because I don't want to give food seeds, so I have a grudge. It's really a black-hearted thing..."

Everyone's resentment boiled but they didn't have an outlet because they didn't catch the person they let go. There were so many people in the surrounding villages that they couldn't be sure who did it.

Even if everyone is most suspicious of the Chen family, they can't just come to their door.

Seeing everyone making such a fuss, the village chief had no intention of stopping it this time, and he was also feeling angry.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

"Let's search carefully and see if we can find any evidence."

Yao Shu frowned slightly. She couldn't think of any good way for a while, but if she did it, it would definitely leave traces.

"You're right, I'll take it with you to find it. When we have evidence, we'll report it to the official."

The village chief gritted his teeth and secretly felt cruel to see if he would not send these thieves to prison.

Hearing the village chief's words, Yao Shu nodded and was a little surprised.
