cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 59

"Someone is stealing melons", Zhang Wei's first thought is that someone is coming to steal melons.It's not easy to steal Zhang Wei's watermelon. Most people can't stop pulling at the melon's pedicle, and the whole watermelon can be yanked violently with a single effort.If someone who knew the situation hadn't prepared tools and cut off the stems of the melons, they still wouldn't be able to steal them. However, it is still possible to harm Zhang Wei's melons.

Zhang Wei went to the place where the two melon thieves were. In the city, Zhang Wei had at most seen a thief stealing a wallet, but he had never met a melon thief here.Zhang Wei really wanted to catch and see who these two thieves were. Two days before his melons started selling, someone came to steal them.It seems to be famous too.

Zhang Wei walked forward lightly, and could hear the two thieves stealing melons muttering there from afar, one of them looked up from time to time, while the other buried his head in attacking the watermelon. They didn't see Zhang Wei at the front of the yard, and they didn't have Zhang Wei's perverted eyesight. They could see the back of the yard from the front of the yard, and it was still night.

"I said brothers, aren't you tired after working so hard in the middle of the night? If you want to eat watermelon, just come here during the day, and I'm not so stingy, so why bother? I can't pick a melon in the middle of the night." Zhang Wei walked lightly. In the bamboo corridor, the bamboo corridor was full of shadows under the moonlight, and the person who watched the wind from time to time did not notice Zhang Wei's arrival.

Thinking about it, it was already past midnight, the time after early morning is when people are sleeping soundly, and it is a good time for thieves to come and go, so the two melon thieves relaxed their vigilance.However, I didn't expect to meet Zhang Wei, a night wandering god who didn't sleep in the middle of the night.Not only are people nervous, but the melons they grow are also perverted. The two thieves who stole the melons never thought that they would have to bring special tools to steal a watermelon, otherwise the melons would not be easy to steal.When Zhang Wei uttered his voice, under the moonlight, he saw two people crawling in the melon field, one of them was crawling on the ground and biting the melon pedicle fiercely with his teeth, while the other was holding two snakeskin bags in his hand, from time to time Looking around to see if anyone was there, with the other hand, he grabbed the bursting watermelon flesh and stuffed it into his mouth. The unique sweet taste of Zhang Wei's watermelon could be smelled far away.

Needless to say, the two thieves who stole melons kept pulling on the melon stalks, until they yanked one of the watermelons violently. They had no choice but to bite them with their teeth, but the smell of the watermelon was so enticing that the two of them burst into tears. Not yet ready to waste, one gnawed on the stalk of the melon, and the other ate the watermelon pulp scattered on the ground. However, looking at the bright red juice on the other person's face, he knew that he did not eat less.

When the two melon thieves heard Zhang Wei's voice, they looked up for a moment, then suddenly realized, isn't this the owner of the melon field?Then he threw the bag in his hand and ran back.Jumped across the meter-high gap, and went away without looking back.

The moment the two raised their heads upon hearing the sound, Zhang Wei saw the faces of the two. The faces of the two were very raw, but they were not too old. They were in their 30s at most, and the clothes they were wearing were not very fashionable. It might be someone from Lincun.A big tree attracts the wind, and a lot of money attracts theft. It seems that it finally attracts the thoughts of thieves.

When Zhang Wei walked to the place where the two thieves climbed just now, the melon seedlings were inevitably crushed, and the watermelon flowers and small watermelons under the melon seedlings were also crushed a lot.A large piece of the bright red flesh of the watermelon that was dragged was scattered.The pedicle of another 40-pound watermelon was bitten and almost broke off, leaving only thick fibers attached to the melon seedlings. Anyway, this watermelon weighed over 40 jins. It would not be a loss if I picked it tomorrow, but it was violent. That melon, what a pity.Sure enough, Zhang Wei found the melon pedicle with a piece of melon rind attached to it on a melon seedling.

Looking at the two snakeskin bags on the ground, Zhang Wei estimates that they can only hold four melons at most. It is not a pity for Zhang Wei to steal the melons, but it is a pity for this piece of melon seedlings and those that were destroyed when they were still small Flowers and melons.

Zhang Wei sighed. It seems that what Master Zhang said two days ago was right. People don't hurt tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts.Wealth can’t be revealed, it will attract people’s attention. Besides, Zhang Wei’s vegetables and watermelon are no longer pure food, but real money. A watermelon is a few hundred yuan, and one sold in the provincial capital is 2000 yuan. The value of one of Zhang Wei's watermelons sold in a star-rated hotel in the provincial capital is worth half a year's income of a family in this mountain village.

Besides, this watermelon is not a small green vegetable, let alone a cucumber or a tomato. The small green vegetable is in the front yard, across from Zhang Wei’s house. Baskets are not easy to transport. If you use a snakeskin bag, the tender vegetables will definitely look ugly. The tomatoes and cucumbers in the backyard seem to be able to sell for a lot of money, but picking them once is really good. It is not sure how much you can pick, and the cucumber seedlings are very vigorous. It is really difficult to distinguish between green and red at night, but watermelon is more than 40 catties. Even in the dark night, it is accurate.Having said that, the price of watermelons is still so high that stealing tomatoes and cucumbers ten times is not as valuable as stealing two watermelons at once.What's more, there are many people who know the goods in the provincial capital, so this watermelon is really not worried about not being able to sell it.

Zhang Wei fiddled with the collapsed melon seedlings with his hands to facilitate the regrowth of the damaged melon seedlings.The watermelon rinds scattered all over the ground couldn't be cleaned up anymore. Zhang Wei cleaned up the large pieces of watermelon rind, and let them scatter in the melon field and turn them into fertilizer again.

As long as Zhang Wei's fragrant watermelon is exploded, the whole melon flesh will be easily scattered. Therefore, when Zhang Wei cuts it with a treasure knife, nothing happens, but Zhang Ye cuts it with a kitchen knife, and the melon follows the knife. Yin'er exploded and exploded downwards, and if it was a melon that was pulled violently, the pedicle of the melon was broken because of too much force, and the rind of the melon began to burst again when the force was applied with both hands, and the whole melon was not squeezed by both hands It would be strange if it was broken.

After tidying up the messy land, I carefully picked off the big watermelon whose pedicle was bitten by the melon thief with only a few strands of thick fibers, and looked at the gap in the courtyard wall three or four meters away. Zhang Wei wondered if he should consider closing the gap.

In the past, because there were not many things missing, and Zhang Wei was really busy, and he had no awareness of anti-theft, he really ignored this point.Master Zhang reminded Zhang Wei twice to pay attention to the gap. After the village was rebuilt, it had been agreed to find someone to plug the gap, but everyone was busy, and Zhang Wei planned to build a courtyard in the wasteland.In the future, the whole courtyard will be moved there, and it is enough to leave here to build the shed. When the time comes to level the courtyard, we will tidy up the walls in this circle together. This is the original plan.

The plan can't keep up with the changes. It seems that even if the entire wall does not need to be repaired, plugging this gap is the top priority.

Another problem is that protection work at night is also very important. I am alone in such a large yard, so I can't get up in the middle of the night to patrol every day.Fortunately, I am in the backyard today, otherwise the melon would have been stolen. It seems that I will discuss with Master Zhang tomorrow how to solve this problem.
