Chapter 921
Xiao'er shook her head: "This is bittern salt."

Bitter salt is cheaper than coarse salt, but it cannot be used as edible salt. Bitter salt is slightly toxic.

The two things look alike, one can poison you to death if you eat too much, and the other can kill you from thirst if you eat too much.

Leopard's father clenched his fists, he didn't expect that she would find any clues about it.

But so what!Even if she knew the reason why the fruit tree withered, there was no evidence to prove that he did it!

It was in the middle of the night when he poured brine on the kirin fruit, and he hadn't seen a single person for several days!Not even a dog barked!
After the villagers heard this, they looked at each other, and the village head looked at the crowd and asked, "Who accidentally left these bittern here?"

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads in denial:
"Not my house!"

"It's not me either!"

……

"not me."

Xiao'er saw everyone's expressions in her eyes: "I suspect that the unicorn fruit tree died after being poured with brine."

If the plants are often irrigated with concentrated salt water, the concentration of the soil is greater than the concentration of the cell fluid, so that the plants cannot absorb water from the soil, and the plants will wither.

These withered kylin fruits feel like they died from drought, but the villagers all said that they saw signs of withering, and they all carried water to water them.

But obviously the amount of water poured is still not enough to dilute the concentration of salt in the soil.

Leopard's father's face changed, he glanced at Xiao'er, this stinky bitch is smart, she even guessed this!
Last night, his father was in charge of watering the orchard with concentrated salt water. It must have been too dark. When he poured the brine into the bucket, he accidentally spilled a little on the grass.

The villagers were shocked when they heard this, who is so wicked!It is devoid of conscience!Is this the person who wants to kill their entire village!

Hearing this, the village head was so angry that he cursed: "Which wolf did it! See if I don't beat him to death!"

"Yes, I also broke his legs, this is too bad! This is shameful!"

"Could it be done by villagers from other villages?"

"Probably not! People in other villages don't know that we are planting Qilin fruit, they think we are planting Bawanghua!"

"Then who did it?"

"Has any of you seen suspicious figures walking around at night lately?"

"It's dark, I'm going to sleep, I don't know."

"After a day's work, I'm exhausted. I usually lie down when it gets dark and wake up until dawn! I didn't pay attention."

The villagers are talking about who did it, and whether anyone saw who did it.

After guessing and guessing, the target person falls on the people from other villages.

After all, the people in their village have always been very united in everything they do, and they often help each other.

"Have any of you leaked your words and told people in other villages?" The village chief asked after thinking about it.

Because an old man from the neighboring village returned to his hometown, he set up a school in the village to teach the villagers how to read and write. Therefore, many villagers can find good jobs like tents in towns and cities.

As a result, most of the families in the village live better than those in their own village. The villagers often use words to run on them, and the married daughters of their village are not treated well.

And the women who married from the neighboring villages couldn't hold up their heads when they returned to their natal homes, or they didn't look good.

Now girls from neighboring villages are unwilling to marry boys from their village.It is said that it is hard work to come here, and it is not a person inside and outside to go back to her mother's house!
This caused the people in the two villages to be at odds with each other. The villagers in Huzi's village tried their best to make a fortune, and to put an end to the arrogance of the neighboring village.

The villagers shook their heads again after hearing what the village chief said.

"No! This Qilin fruit is so important, we rely on it for prosperity, how can I say it!"

"That's right! Even in my dream last night, I reminded myself not to tell this matter!"

"Jiaxing, you always like to drink horse urine, did you accidentally tell about Qilin fruit when you were drunk!" the village chief said, glaring at a villager viciously.

"Village Chief, I haven't had a drink in the past two months because of these Qilin fruits. Don't blame me!"

"It's not you, who is that!" The village head blew his beard and stared angrily.

"How do I know who it is! It's not me anyway!"

Xiao'er saw that they hadn't guessed who it was, so she said, "If you do it, it will leave traces, let's look around again!"

After hearing this, everyone had no objection: "Yes, we will definitely find some clues! Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find him."

Xiaoer took the lead to walk around again.

Leopard's father couldn't help being a little nervous. He has been doing this for many days. Although he is careful every time, it is inevitable that he will be negligent. This bitch's eyes are too sharp!What if she finds some evidence? !

No, besides salt, what else can I find, besides, the bittern salt he bought was used up last night, and the bucket, everyone has a bucket!Father Leopard comforted himself.

Xiaoer led the villagers around the orchard, but found no other evidence.

Everyone was suddenly a little discouraged.

Seeing this, Xiaoer said: "Don't worry, everyone. I have a kind of wolf dog in my family. Its nose is very good. As long as you let him smell the bittern salt, it will find out who has touched the salt, and which family's bucket has been filled with it. This salt."

"Young madam, where is the dog? Hurry up and let it out, I want to see whose wolf heart was eaten by the dog!"

Leopard's father was taken aback when he heard this. He had heard of this kind of dog before, and the Yamen also had this kind of dog to help with cases.

Father Leopard wished he could rush home immediately and throw away those wooden barrels, so as to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces!
"Don't worry, I have to borrow the dog from someone. I'll come back early tomorrow morning!"

Leopard father heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, one night was enough for him to destroy the corpse.

Fortunately, they all thought it was done by people from the neighboring village!

"Then can these fruit trees be saved now?" the village head looked at the withered fruit seedlings and said heartbrokenly.

"I don't know how much concentrated salt water that person poured into the field. We have to lower the salt concentration in the field first, otherwise the fruit seedlings will not survive again." Xiao'er explained.

The villagers cursed angrily when they heard this.

Xiao'er knew that they were very angry. As people who planed food in the soil, what they cherished most was the crops.

Usually, it hurts my heart to step on a green vegetable that hasn't grown yet, not to mention that so many fruit seedlings are withered now.

And with such a delay, the day when the villagers can harvest the kirin fruit is a little farther away.

Although the climate here is relatively warm, kirin fruit can be planted all year round, but there is also the most suitable time for planting. Autumn is here and winter is approaching, and winter is definitely not the most suitable time to grow kirin fruit.

Kylin fruit grows slowly in winter, so it's strange that the villagers don't scold their father.

Since the person will be caught tomorrow, Xiao'er bid farewell to the villagers.

Everyone enthusiastically chased her carriage and sent her out of the village.
