nurture master [farming]

In the middle of the night, the lights in the living room of a family in Nanxi Village were always on.

In the early morning, there was a knock on the door.

The police outside the door did not wait for anyone to open the door, and broke through cautiously to enter the house. What they saw was a dead body with a painful expression on its face.

After searching the entire room, it was found that all five members of the family were killed.

……

Dongping Village was originally a poor village. Except for the delicious local pears, there are no special features in the village.A few years ago, the village chief applied for government funding, repaired roads and planted pear trees, earning a lot of money.The villagers followed suit and contracted the hillsides around the village, and the village chief was willing to share his experience, and the whole village gradually got rid of poverty.

It's just that a strange thing happened in Dongping Village recently. The plants in the whole village began to wither inexplicably.At the beginning, when the villagers saw the vegetables withered, they only looked for the reason themselves. When the pear tree, which is an important source of income for everyone, also withered, someone finally couldn't help but call the police.

However, the police have been calling the police for so many days, and the police come here from time to time, but they have not found out the cause of the withering.

The police car drove directly to the door of the village chief's house. Ruan Songling and Ge Li got out of the car with their IDs hanging around their necks, and Tang Ye struggled to hold the camera in his arms after getting out of the car, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

When they first arrived near Dongping Village, Ruan Songling and the others noticed something was wrong.Just like what the team leader described about the dead hawthorn grove, after entering Dongping Village where there were withered plants, the aura suddenly decreased, which made practitioners who rely on aura feel a little uncomfortable.

And the closer to the village, the less the aura did not become, but the whole village had a strange feeling.It's not because of the lifeless expressions of the villagers, but because of a feeling, but I can't find where this strange feeling is.

"Comrade policemen, who are these?" Wang Dahai, the head of Dongping Village, stood up to receive the policemen, gesturing to Ruan Songling and the others.

I really thought that Ruan Songling and the others were from the TV station, but it was revealed that someone with a family background would be better, so the young policeman who was instructed by the director to meet their needs as much as possible said with a smile: "These are sent by our provincial TV station, this is reporter Ruan Next to him is reporter Ge, and the last one is cameraman Tang."

There are two policemen accompanying Ruan Songling this time. One is a young policeman who has been following the plant withering case in Dongping Village. He is a little familiar with the village head and villagers. The other is the first time he came into contact with this case. Middle-aged policeman.

After hearing the young policeman's introduction, Wang Dahai immediately greeted him with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect our provincial TV station to know about our village. You three are welcome to come over for an interview. Let's go inside and sit down and chat."

Ruan Songling looked at Wang Dahai without leaving any traces. He was a little fat, but the look in his eyes made people feel a little displeased.As the village head, he behaved normally, and he didn't have any evil energy on him, and when he saw a real person, he didn't feel so similar to Wu Nian's portrait.

Following Wang Dahai into the courtyard of the Wang family, Ruan Songling and the others saw the situation in the village through the car window in the police car. The courtyard of this family was the best among all the houses they had seen just now.

Three-storey small building, the wide yard is full of flowers and trees, but all of them are dead.And according to the treatment, there is a large fish pond behind Wang Dahai's house, which seems to be in good condition.

Ruan Songling had a decent smile on his face, but the village head poured the tea and asked, "Village head, I heard that you started planting pear trees in your village, and thus led the villagers on the road to wealth."

Unexpectedly, the reporter did not ask about the withering of the plants, but mentioned his achievements. Wang Dahai had a smug smile on his face, obviously very proud of his achievements, and said in a tone that could not conceal his pride: "It is thanks to Government help."

Ruan Songling and Tang Ye are the main players in the conversation, while Ge Li plays the role of a graduate who has just entered the society and listens curiously.Seeing that Wang Dahai became familiar, Ge Li rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Village chief, why are you alone at home and didn't see anyone else?"

"Little Ge!" Ruan Songling glanced dissatisfiedly at Ge Li, and then looked at Wang Dahai apologetically.

Wang Dahai didn't care, waved his hand and said, "My wife is not lucky, she left early, leaving only two sons behind. Now the plants are withered, the two children go to see the pear tree every day, and come back at lunch gone."

"Have you got a grandson?" The older middle-aged policeman next to him said, this is what they asked for from the chief before they came here, the policeman who likes to chat with people, the policeman who came here before was to investigate the cause of the withering of the plants, not The family of the village chief will be questioned.

"The eldest daughter-in-law has just been pregnant for three months, and she is also upset that there is something wrong with the pear tree. She feels a little unwell and is resting upstairs. The second child is not married yet, so I can't control it." When Wang Dahai said this, his tone was soft. A little worried, the policeman next to him thought he was worried about his grandson, but Ruan Songling felt his nerves collapsing, and finally thought of something weird.

On the way to the village head's house, they saw many villagers through the car window, but there were no old people or children.The oldest one I saw seemed to be only five or sixty years old, while the youngest ones didn't even have thirteen or fourteen year olds.

What secrets does this village hide?

Ruan Songling was inexplicably concerned about Wang Dahai's pregnant eldest daughter-in-law, but he, a reporter who came to interview him, had no reason to go upstairs to take a look.

Seeing that the village chief and the middle-aged policeman were chatting enthusiastically in the room, the topic had already changed from grandson to recent national affairs, and it was estimated that there would be no news from Wang Dahai for the time being, so Ruan Songling wanted to ask for an interview.

But before she opened her mouth, Ruan Songling froze for a moment, as did Ge Li and Tang Ye, feeling the subtle devilish energy approaching, wondering if they should defend immediately.

"Cough—" Accompanied by a very low coughing sound when approaching the demonic energy, Ge Li pretended to look out curiously, but what he saw was an 'old man' emitting a small amount of demonic energy, saying that the old man was a bit uncomfortable To be precise, the clothes this man was wearing, his walking posture, and even his all-white hair looked like an old man, but his skin was different from that of an old man. Not only did he not have age spots, but his skin was in the same condition as Wang Dahai.

The 'old man' occasionally coughed in a low voice, and every time he coughed, a trace of black magic energy emerged from his mouth.

Looking at it like this, it is definitely not a magician, it may be a puppet controlled by the magician.Thinking of the human body bomb mentioned by the captain last night, Ge Li's heart ached, and he noticed that this 'old man' looked a bit like Wang Dahai.Ge Li pretended to be curious and said, "Village Chief, someone is coming outside."

At this time, Wang Dahai and the police, who were chatting excitedly, looked out of the door. Wang Dahai stood up suddenly, and ran out to help the old man regardless of the loud sound when the stool fell to the ground.

"Village Chief, who is this?" After Wang Dahai helped the 'old man' into the house, Ruan Songling and the others stood up, holding the defensive charm given by the team leader this morning in their pockets, Ruan Songling asked.

There was a trace of unnaturalness on Wang Dahai's face, and he quickly covered it up, and introduced to everyone: "This is my dad. He just went out for a walk."

"What? The old man is really young!" The police next to him immediately shouted out as Ruan Songling and others expected. They carefully observed the changes in Wang Dahai's expression. Just now Wang Dahai didn't mention his father at all.

I could hardly keep the smile on Wang Dahai's face, his eyes showed a trace of fear, and his father's hands trembled slightly when he was holding him: "This is really a childish face, my father just looks younger, but his body is not good enough. How good, and he doesn't like to talk, I'll help him upstairs first."

Saying that, Wang Dahai helped the old man turn to the direction of the stairs.This is even more strange, thinking that most elderly people have bad legs and feet, so they will arrange their rooms on the first floor, and Wang Dahai just said that his father is not in good health, so he even arranged for people to live upstairs.

Ruan Songling and the others looked at each other, but they still didn't dare to relax their vigilance, for fear that the old man was a bomb controlled by the magician.The consequence of being too nervous was that when they heard the movement, they almost cast the spell.

"Ah!" When he was about to reach the stairs, Mr. Wang screamed in pain, and passed out with a hideous face, and a very faint rancid smell wafted from him.If these people were not cultivators, they probably wouldn't have smelled it at all.

"Dad!" Wang Dahai yelled, and explained to Ruan Songling and the others, "My dad is sick again, and he can just lie down on the bed for a while, and I'm really sorry for scaring a few of you."

Ge Li hid behind Ruan Songling as if she was frightened, and only after hearing this, she poked her head out quietly and said, "Village chief, what is the old man's illness?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to realize that it was inappropriate, and immediately added, "I have a relative who is the director of a hospital. If the village head wants to see the old man, maybe I can help."

"This..." Wang Dahai turned his head to look at the old man, with his back to them, his expression was unclear. After he turned around, his expression returned to normal, "My dad is getting old, we also asked him, he doesn't want to go to the hospital, I don't want to mess around, I'm afraid I can't refuse Reporter Ge's kindness."

After finishing speaking, he insisted on helping the old man up, half-supporting and half-lifting the person upstairs, the movement was fast, and it was clear that he did not want them to come into contact with the old man.

"It's scary... What's the matter with the old man of the Wang family? He looks so young, why did he suddenly get sick?" The middle-aged policeman asked the young policeman next to him with a frightened expression.

The young policeman also felt quite frightened, and it took a long time before he replied: "I have never seen the old man of the Wang family in Dongping Village these few times, but once I accidentally heard some villagers talk about it. I was a little scared, and the words were even more secretive, I didn't understand at the time, but now I feel that it refers to the old man of the Wang family."

"What did you hear?" The middle-aged policeman inquired curiously, with an expression of wanting to gossip.

The young policeman shook his head: "I didn't hear anything, just a few words. I sit by the fish pond every day, and I'm going to get sick as soon as I get home."

The middle-aged policeman guessed: "Maybe the old man has feelings for the fish pond?"

Ruan Songling and the others were listening, focusing on the fish pond in their hearts.

Footsteps were heard from the direction of the stairs, and the two policemen immediately stopped discussing, and saw Wang Dahai walking down, his expression returned to normal.
