majestic tiger

Chapter 145
Yunxia said in her heart: That's natural, mother, Xia'er will definitely do her best to help you achieve your wish.

While speaking, the carriage arrived at its destination.The mother and son got out of the carriage.

The farm is managed by Zhuangtou, and the mother took the siblings to go directly to Zhuangtou.She pointed to a magnificent mansion in the distance and said, "That's Zhuangtou's yard. His yard is the largest and most conspicuous in this area."

The servants lead the way ahead, the ridge road is really not easy to walk, I used to live in a small town, and there are vast farmlands outside the town, Yunxia has practiced the ability to gallop on the ridge, now she is taking this kind of road Fairly relaxed.

But Niang and Yunxiao couldn't do it, they walked tremblingly, stumbling around.Yunxia had no choice but to reach out to support her mother, and led her forward slowly.Yun Xiao asked the servant to take care of it. After the servant dragged Yun Xiao for a while, he really felt that there was nothing to do, so he carried Yun Xiao on his back.

The mother looked at her daughter strangely and asked, "How can Xia'er walk the small dirt road so well?"

Yunxia laughed and said nonsense: "Mother, this is the benefit of my martial arts practice. If I have kung fu, it will be like walking on flat ground. When my martial arts improve in the future, maybe I will fly over."

"But your younger brother is also practicing martial arts." Mother still finds it incomprehensible.

"Mother, my brother is young, and the martial arts he practices are different from mine, so it's naturally different." Yun Xia acted like a baby.

"Oh, that's it." Rao was suspicious, but the mother still accepted her daughter's argument and didn't ask any more questions.

When the topic turned to Zhuangtou, her mother told her that Zhuangtou was a pretty good person. When he came to hand over that day, the communication with him went smoothly, and he respected himself very much.

But Yunxia felt a little strange. It is said that the head of the village has worked under Steward Ding for so many years, so he should be interested in Steward Ding.Otherwise, he wouldn't be the head of the village long ago. How could Steward Ding let a person who didn't listen to him do this fat job?This Zhuangtou, who is similar to Butler Ding, is probably not a good person, is he?

I need to keep an eye on him, watch his words and deeds, and see Zhuangtou's true colors as soon as possible.

Finally moved to Zhuangtou's house, knocked open the door, a thin young man saw them, probably knew his mother, and hurriedly welcomed them in.And shouted towards the inside: "The owner, the eldest lady is here."

Soon, a middle-aged man came out of the room, with a round figure, and the straight-sewed wide shirt on his body was full.A big round face with squinted eyes, a fleshy nose, a slightly parted mouth, and a greasy smile all over his face.

"Oh, my lady is here, my subordinates are rude, I didn't go far to greet her, and I hope that my lady will make amends." Zhuangtou said, while ordering the farmer to serve tea for them and the group, he saluted Yunxia and Yunxiao, which was very thoughtful. very.

After the mother sat down, she talked to him and briefly explained the purpose of coming today.Asked about the situation of the farm again, he answered calmly, in an orderly manner, and seemed to be a responsible head of the farm.

Yunxia watched him secretly from the side, and didn't see any flaws for a while.Whether this is a harmless person or a "smiling tiger", it seems that it needs to be verified by multiple parties.

Another person who looked like a village woman brought cakes for the young master and lady.Yunxiao picked up a piece, took a bite, and spat it out with a bitter face: "It's so hard, it doesn't taste good at all." Hearing the sound from inside, a woman came out, dressed far better than the village women, with her hair still stuck in a bun With a golden hairpin and pearl earrings dangling from both ears, she exudes shrewdness.

Zhuangtou pointed to the woman and introduced him as his wife, and said to the woman, "Come and meet the eldest lady, the eldest young master, and the eldest lady." The woman immediately smiled and blessed her mother, He also treated Yunxiao and Yunxia.

Then he scolded the village woman for not having eyes, and gave the young master and miss snacks that were not on the table.The village woman opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't make a sound, she lowered her head and let her scold.

"Okay, don't blame her." The mother couldn't stand it, and stopped her.

The woman waved the village woman out, and said to her mother: "Ma'am, the family doesn't have anything to eat, it's all because the harvest is not good this year, and life in the village is hard..."

Zhuangtou stopped his wife's words and said: "Don't make trouble for the eldest lady anymore."

The woman gave him a sideways look, and continued to vomit bitterness to her mother, talking about the difficult situation in the village and so on, and then boasting about the Zhuangtou, saying that he did his best for Zhuangzi and was loyal to the general's mansion... Barabara, good A clever mouth.

Yunxia snorted coldly in her heart, this is quite a character.She stood up, interrupted the woman's chatter, and said to her mother: "Mother, why don't we let the head of the village take us around the village."

My mother was probably also disturbed to hear it, how can she be so eloquent and boastful.So I immediately agreed, turned to Zhuangtou and said, "Then I'll help you, show us around."

Zhuangtou readily agreed with a smile, and called the skinny boy who opened the door to lead the way.

The woman was talking excitedly when she was interrupted, her face was full of resentment, and she spat fiercely at the back of Yun Xia and her party.

With fire in her eyes, she stared at the lady who was going away, and couldn't help cursing a few more words in her heart.Steward Ding is right, if this temptress takes back the farm, she will cut off her money. If she doesn't deal with you, how can she relieve her hatred?
To the east of the farm are stretches of fertile fields, and Zhuangtou said that most of them are corn.So looking at the empty area in the past, there are only a few wheat fields and vegetable fields.Comparing Yunxia with what she saw along the way, she always felt something was wrong.

Why not grow some wheat?

So he asked Zhuangtou this question, Zhuangtou hesitated and said: "Before that, there were a lot of wheat planted in the field. For some unknown reason, many seedlings died. I hoeed them all yesterday and replanted corn."

"No, I came here a few days ago and saw that the wheat seedlings were doing well." Mother said in surprise.

Yunxia couldn't say it well, it must be Steward Ding's poisonous plan, and this village boss is not a good person.She quietly tugged on her mother's sleeve, and her mother probably realized the problem, her face was pale and anxious.

"Ma'am, you don't know, our crops are expected to harvest. God is not open, and the subordinates can't do anything about it. Those wheat seedlings are infected with wheat plague. If you don't get rid of them and replant them quickly, you won't even be able to harvest corn. Isn't it worse?" Zhuangtou said earnestly.

The mother was speechless for a while, but the hand holding Yunxia was visibly trembling.Yunxia realized that the head of the village was a native of the farm, and had an intricate relationship with the farmers here. If he were to be moved now, it would definitely mess up the whole body. She had to hold back and find a good solution quickly.

So he nodded and smiled at his mother, and gave her a worry-free look.

Then he asked Zhuangtou deliberately and naively: "Where did you throw the seedlings you hoeed yesterday, I want to see."

"Miss, I threw them all into the river." Zhuangtou replied.

It was obvious that the evidence was destroyed, Yunxia frowned and said nothing.A group of people had their own thoughts, and they all just walked forward silently.

After walking for a while, I came to the west end of the farm. Here is the mountain. The land at the foot of the mountain has been dug out and a lot of vegetables have been planted.But the hillside was completely deserted and bare.As the hillside goes further up, the trees gradually increase and become green until they reach the top of the hill.

"It's a pity that this large piece of land is left unused." The mother said, pointing up the slope.

"Ma'am, the mountainous land is very thin, and it is not easy to divert water. Even if it is planted, it will not be reaped. It is better not to waste that effort." Zhuangtou replied as a matter of course.

Yunxia looked at the hillside, staring blankly.She remembered that the hillsides outside the small town in her hometown were developed to grow Chinese medicinal materials. The drought-resistant medicinal materials can be harvested very well on such mountainous land.

Can we also get a kind of medicinal material here?A thought flashed through Yunxia's mind.

So I ran up the hillside, squatted down and looked at the soil quality, it seemed to be not bad, and I felt more at ease.Mother and Yun Xiao followed her to the slope, and the three of them stood there looking down.

Zhuangtou looked up from below with a smile on his face.
