In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Among the people present, she was the one who cared most about food security.

When she heard Xi say it was useless, she couldn't help but get anxious.

Dahuang City is an important source of food for the entire Yan Nation. If something goes wrong here...

Not to mention the distant future, famine may occur in some areas of Yan Country this year.

On the side, Xi felt even more guilty when he saw Shu so anxious.

The reason she didn't come out just now was not only because she was autistic, but more because she didn't know how to face her family members who were full of expectations and hoped that she could solve this problem.

But she still felt it necessary to speak directly.

Instead of holding on to an impossible goal, she knew that what everyone needed now was a real result.

She can't solve these things.

"Because the 'pencil strokes' of these things are not on the water."

"Forehead……"

"I can clear the evil spirits that have risen to the surface and dyed the water red, but that's just pulling them out. Their true essence is still beneath the surface... If I don't deal with that, nothing can be changed."

Xi spoke, his words sounding somewhat weak.

There was really nothing she could do about it.

After hearing Xi's words, the others also frowned and looked embarrassed.

But after a moment, Ling shook his head.

"Even so, you should help first...even if it's just to solve the blood and water problem."

"It's useless, why are you still doing this?"

Xi obviously didn't understand Ling's intention.

But Ling had no intention of explaining. He just stretched out his hand, smiled at the girl, rubbed her head, and then looked at Shu beside him.

"We can only get rid of the superficial appearances... At least we need to convince others that we can solve the problem."

"We can't arbitrarily shake people's hearts..."

"As for the rest..."

Ling took a deep breath and slowly straightened his chest.

"Leave the rest to us..."

……

Ling's words were quickly carried out.

It wasn't long before word of a solution to the red water problem began to spread among farmers.

People who were originally worried about what might happen gradually let down their guard and began to go back to farming.

This also made the people here speed up their efforts and keep trying to find out what exactly caused the bloody phenomenon.

In addition to his daily investigations, Shu also strives to perceive the sensory network he has spread out, trying to find problematic areas.

Maria had a relatively light workload. When she had nothing to do, she would go out with Xi to perform the "magic" of turning blood water into normal water for the villagers to ease everyone's fear and anxiety.

This investigation lasted for more than a month.

Things finally took a turn for the better...

……

Noon, inside Shu’s house.

Everyone gathered around the table in the living room, keeping quiet.

On the side, Ling carefully placed a fist-sized stone on the table.

His eyes swept over everyone present.

"Look at this..."

"What's wrong with this stone?"

Xi still had a cold look on her face. Looking at the stone Ling took out, she also took out the paintbrush and tapped it carefully.

There was no reaction, no explosion, it just looked like an ordinary stone.

"really."

On the side, Ji obviously agreed with Xi's opinion.

He also used his power to examine the stone.

But after examining it again and again, he could not find anything strange about the stone.

If I have to say...

There are some bloodstains on this stone, as if there was some accident.

But Ling shook his head.

"Not only that."

As she spoke, she carefully took off the wine gourd from her waist and poured the wine onto the stone.

After a moment, she raised her head again and looked at everyone.

“Have you found the problem?”

"Forehead……"

Shu and the others looked at each other, revealing subtle expressions.

They really couldn't see what was wrong with this.

The stone hasn't changed at all...

"It's because the stone hasn't changed at all!"

Ling's brows suddenly frowned, revealing a bit of vigilance.

She raised the stone and moved a little closer to the group.

So that they can be sure that the bloodstains on the stone are not some other similar objects, but real blood!

But... the blood cannot be washed away!

"!"

After Ling's reminder, everyone reacted.

They lowered their heads and carefully examined the stone.

After wiping them a few more times with clean water, their expressions changed a lot.

Can……

"What does this mean?"

Maria looked at the stone, her eyes slightly lowered.

"I'm not sure."

Ling Weiwei shook her head.

Now everyone can be sure that there is something wrong with this stone.

As the first discoverer, Ling's research on it is obviously more in-depth.

"This thing should not be formed naturally, but something man-made."

"Artificially made?"

Shu stood aside, tilting his head slightly.

After Ling nodded affirmatively, he looked at his companions seriously.

"That's not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is that I have also found such stones in other cultivated fields!"

Ling said this and picked up the package beside him.

Soon, everyone started to check.

Just as Ling said, there was a strange but unwashable bloodstain on each of these stones.

There is no uniform rule for its shape and size, and it seems that these bloodstains are the real focus.

"Someone... is deliberately throwing these things into the pond!"

Ling's voice became extremely serious.

And everyone's expressions changed.

Especially the left lane that just came here.

He had just sat down when he started playing again.

After pacing a few times, he turned his head.

"No! I have to report this!"

This is no longer an ordinary food crisis.

Dahuang is one of the important cores within Dayan, yet someone dares to cause trouble here!

Must hit hard!

Ling, who was standing by, frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

"You wait first..."

Wait until everyone has discussed it before taking action.

After all, the situation in Dahuang City has reached this point. To be honest, it is hard to imagine that there are no problems inside Dahuang City.

Although this was just her guess, the matter was of great importance and she had to deal with it carefully.

Seeing that Zuo Xing was completely unwilling to listen and was ready to take action, she sighed helplessly.

Ji on the side waved very sensibly.

The cloth around him that he had prepared to make clothes flew up, and in the blink of an eye, he rolled it up and hung it on the ceiling.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo Xing, please be quiet for a moment."

Ji spoke, his tone was extremely calm.

Maria held the stone, examined it carefully for a few moments, and then blinked.

"Does every paddy field have this kind of stone?"

She raised her head and looked at Ling beside her.

And Ling told Maria everything he knew.

"Not all paddy fields, but I can basically find such stones in some areas..."

As Ling was speaking, he was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Maria again.

"Wait... You mean, this wasn't something the other party overlooked, but rather something they carefully planned?"

“…No, I’m not actually…”

"Yes! Yes!"

Ling thought about it carefully for a few seconds and suddenly became excited.

Maria is right...

Makes sense!

"These stones seem to appear in rice paddies that are about to mature... In other words, they're targeting these nearly ripening crops?"

Ling began to think.

Shu, who was standing beside him, seemed to have realized something and nodded.

"In fields like this, I usually loosen up the constraints on the underground evil spirits so that the rice can absorb enough nutrients..."
