A guide to getting rich

Chapter 249
Working in the fields during the day is a last resort. At night, no one dares to risk their lives. They close their doors and go to bed early, and then go to the fields after dawn. At least in the daytime, the eyes can see more clearly and see farther , and have the opportunity to escape in case of danger.

Bai Dazhu was also flustered. Like Dabao, he had never been out at night, and he was even a little lost at this moment, wandering around in the continuous fields, but he couldn't find the melon patch of Bai Zhi's family for a long time.

He didn't know where Bai Zhi's land was, but he knew that her family was the only one in the village that grew soil melons, and whenever he saw a soil melon field, it must belong to Bai Zhi's family.

I don't know how long he wandered around on the field stalks, Bai Dabao suddenly pointed to a tunnel in the distance: "Look, Dad, that field seems to be a melon field."

Bai Dazhu looked in the direction his son pointed, and he saw a piece of land. This place was very different from the nearby green wheat fields. The green leaves were thick and the stems were even taller than the green wheat. It was a whole piece of green.

"That's right, it's here." Bai Dazhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled his son forward to start work.

There was a rain a few days ago, and the soil was very soft. With a hoe down, a large pile of melons could be picked up. They brought two cloth bags, which were filled to the brim in a short while.

"Father, these soil melons are really good. They are so big. How long can we eat these two bags of soil melons?"

Bai Dazhu grinned happily: "It doesn't matter how long we can eat, we'll come back after eating, this land will be the granary of our Bai family from now on."

Bai Dabao felt a little uneasy when he thought about the losses his family had suffered before: "Father, if that damn girl Bai Zhi finds out, can she let us go?"

Bai Dazhu snorted coldly: "What can she do? As the saying goes, catching thieves and taking stolen goods, let's go back now and hide these earthen melons so that she can't find them. If we refuse to admit it again, what can she do with us?"

Seeing that his father said so firmly, Bai Dabao felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Father, let's go back quickly, I'm almost dizzy from hunger, go back and have a quick meal."

The father and son went back with a bag of earthen melons on their shoulders. Halfway along the road, Bai Dabao heard a strange sound, which was soft but clear to his ears.

"Dad, did you hear that?"

Bai Dazhu shook his head: "No? What did you hear?"

Dabao said: "Is there a sound, it seems to be coming from behind us." As he spoke, Bai Dabao turned his head, and when he turned his head, he saw a pair of green eyes and that long and curved body. . . .

"Father, it's a snake, it's a snake!"

Bai Dazhu started to run. Bai Dabao's feet were soft, but he didn't dare to stop. He followed his father and ran desperately. Before he could take a few steps, Bai Dazhu in front slipped and fell hard to the ground. Bai Dabao lost his momentum for a while, and smashed his body and potatoes on Bai Dazhu's body.

Although Bai Dabao was not as tall as Bai Dazhu, he was not lighter than Bai Dazhu. In addition to this bag of potatoes, this smash directly knocked Bai Dazhu unconscious, accompanied by a crisp click sound.

Bai Dabao sat on Bai Dazhu's body and got up, looked back, saw that the snake hadn't chased him, felt relieved, and hurriedly pushed Bai Dazhu's body: "Father, get up, the snake is gone, let's go quickly."

Bai Dazhu didn't respond, and the field was so quiet that even the cries of insects had disappeared.
