The county seat was demolished, casting a thick layer of gloom over the entire Lujia Village. Everyone seemed extraordinarily silent, silent and oppressive. Even at an age like Wei Rui who loves playing the most, he started to stay at home. Seeing that Lu Xiao had no choice but to make jigsaw puzzles, bamboo dragonflies and many other toys according to the memories of his previous life. The one who made the toy was, of course, Joe's father, the old carpenter. Brother Qiaoer married into Zheng's family and changed his name to Ayun.

"The heat is likely to last for another month or two. While it is not the hottest time, let's go to the back mountain to find out if there is a hidden water source. If we can't find a water source, I'm afraid the chickens, ducks and crops will starve to death. Relying on the water of the pond alone is likely to hang..."

While Lu Xiao was still explaining, something happened in the village again. The accident happened to Huang Tieniu, a big man from the west of the village. His house was burglarized last night and lost more than a dozen chickens and a large bag of grain. Now the elderly in the family are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. In such a disaster year, food is life.

It was the first time that such a big incident happened in the village, and the village chief decisively called everyone to the ancestral hall to solve the incident. Naturally, Lu Xiao also went, and Wei Xun didn't think he was from the village, so he stayed at home with his wife and children.

When Lu Xiao arrived, the village head was still serious, and Huang Tieniu's daughter-in-law was sitting on the ground sobbing and crying, looking pitiful. Because Lu Xiao opened a shop and the business was very good, almost every household in the village raised dozens of chickens and ducks. Usually it was sold to Lu Xiao, but now it is planned to be kept by itself.

"Lu Juren, you have to think of a way! You and Liu Juren are the only ones studying in our village..." The Huang family's daughter-in-law looked at Lu Xiao and rushed up to cry. Lu Xiao subconsciously wanted to escape but was embarrassed and could only freeze. . Seeing that the village chief's face was getting worse and worse, he could only push him away with a wry smile.

What can he do with such a thing? Can you make up for losing chickens and ducks? Even if he raises too many, it doesn't make sense! What's more, the village head is still there, so he really offends others by putting a high hat on himself.

"I have no idea, but the village head has a way if I really want to say it! I just got married, and I don't know anything about the village affairs." Lu Xiao quickly declined and comforted the village head, so his expression looked good.

"Okay, from the Huang family. You're in your fifties, and you're holding on to a young man from the village? Don't embarrass the child..." The village chief saw that Lu Xiao was sensible and didn't want to have a bad relationship with a juren, so he quickly followed the pole climb up. Lu Xiao also cast a grateful look at the village chief at the right time, which made the village chief feel a lot better. Readers, just know how to wink.

The Huang family didn't dare to pester the village head when they heard what the village head said, and told the whole thing intermittently. The more Lu Xiao listened to it, the more he felt strange, and the others were also frowning.

"I'm afraid it was drugged. A dozen chickens were lost without even making a sound. This kind of thing has never happened in our village before. You can tell what you see recently!" After pondering for a moment, the village chief Seriously looking at everyone's expressions while talking. Lu Xiao also observed quietly, most of the people were whispering to each other with normal expressions. Only a few faces changed slightly, and the shivering was obviously guilty.

Lu Xiao didn't need to mention such an obvious demeanor, the village chief could see it clearly. A person who can be the head of a village still has the basic ability to know people. Immediately scolded those few, some of them in the village had seen the big scene. But after a few bluffs, the matter was defrauded. The person who stole the chicken was either someone else or Huang Tieniu's younger brother. People in the village call him Huang Erlai, and he likes to do these sneaky things on weekdays. Unexpectedly, instead of stealing outsiders, he would steal into his own home. Huang Tieniu's daughter-in-law immediately turned her head and looked over, panting heavily. It was raised by him so hard, just to exchange some money for his son to go to school to pay homage to a decent teacher. It's not yet time to encounter a disaster year...
