Chapter 134

Back home, Xia Yi sees her courtyard door open. When she enters the courtyard, she sees Xia Changsheng sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Listen to Jin Tao, you went to deliver snacks to my mother. Why didn't I see you?" Asked Xia Changsheng.

"I went out with Uncle Wen." Xia Yi replied.

She saw three scythes on the stone table and knew what Xia Changsheng had come for.

Before she could tell the story, Xia Changsheng picked up the sickle and stood up: "let's go. I'll help you cut back the wheat in your field first."

"No more." Xia Yi said with a sigh.

Xia Changsheng looks at Xia Yi suspiciously and asks, "what's the matter? Didn't you say that I would come back to collect the wheat for you? "

Xia Yi replied, "the wheat in my field has been collected."

"Accepted?" Xia Changsheng raised his eyes and looked into the yard. The yard was empty. Where was a wheat? Not to mention the gate, he didn't see anything before entering.

"Where's the wheat?" Asked Xia Changsheng.

Xia Yi shook his head, "I don't know, just went to the field to see a circle, the wheat has gone."

"Stolen by..." When Xia Changsheng said this, there was hesitation in his words.

After all, it's two acres of wheat. It's not something nearby. How could it be stolen

"Any clue?" Xia Changsheng knows that Xia Yi is used to being smart, but Mai Zi has lost such a big thing that he can't leave nothing.

Xia Yi will be in the field of information and their own analysis are said, and with her to find maocuilan did not reserve.

"You suspect it's your second aunt?" Asked Xia Changsheng.

Xia Yi nodded: "well, now it seems that her suspicion is the biggest, but she suffers from no evidence. After all, the wheat is not in her home, so we should find the wheat first."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find wheat. After all, all wheat grows the same. Even if you put wheat in front of you, you can't tell if it belongs to your family."

Xia Yi replied: "although it is such a truth, it is not without trace. Now there are not many people who collect wheat. If someone's wheat is still in the field and has not been collected, but his family is heaped with wheat, then his family's wheat is not his own. "

"What if they have taken it back?"

Xia Yi replied: "if you take it back, it will be easier to do. Every family will only have a little field. You can see the wheat with two mu more at a glance."

Xia Changsheng nodded: "it's the same truth, but even so, we don't have much time. When we finish grinding the wheat and take it back to our own home, your method won't work well."

"Well, we need to find the wheat thief before that." Xia Yidao.

Xia Changsheng thought about it and said to Xia Yi, "if not, I'll go to the wheat mill and watch it, or I'll show you door to door."

There is a large open space in Zhongling village for people to grind wheat.

The collected wheat is spread on the ground, and is ground over and over again with a stone roller pulled by a cow until all the wheat seeds and husks are separated.

Take advantage of the wind, remove the husks and leave the seeds.

When it comes to the harvest season, the wheat mill is the busiest place.

However, although the wheat mill is very large and there are many people in the village, it must not be used at the same time.

In order to prevent competition, the village head will draw lots every year and use the wheat mill in the order of drawing lots.

So it's a good idea for Xia Changsheng to guard the wheat mill.

But... Xia Yi is worried about another problem.

What if they didn't steal the wheat from their village? Dry in the wheat field to guard is to rush to empty.

So Xia Yi said to Xia Changsheng, "I want to start with my second aunt's relatives, friends and acquaintances."

Mao Cuilan's performance yesterday is too abnormal, Xia Yi has been unable to put down her doubts, it is better to start from Mao Cuilan.

If there is no more clue, then follow Xia Changsheng's method of waiting for the hare and no difference screening.

After all, that method is too hard, and the effect is not necessarily good, just by luck.

After roughly smoothing out Mao Cuilan's relationship, they decided to go to Aunt Wu's home first.

Although Mao Cuilan has a lot to say with many people in the village, there are not many people who can help her except aunt Wu who is like her.

Just when Xia Yi and Xia Changsheng look at Aunt Wu's house, aunt Wu just comes out of the house and drinks two people on the spot: "what are you two doing stealthily?"

"Nothing. Just see if aunt Wu is at home." Looking at Aunt Wu, Xia Yi said.

"What can I do for you?" Aunt Wu looked up and down Xia Yi warily.

After the first two things, especially after Xiao Linmu threatened her, aunt Wu did not dare to provoke Xia Yi.

Xia Yi laughs at Aunt Wu, blinks her eyes and says, "of course, I have something to do. I'm going to collect wheat. I'll borrow aunt Wu's scythe."

Aunt Wu's face had long been pulled down: "go to another house to borrow it. If your house collects wheat, I won't?"

"Use half a day..." Xia Yi throws the way that does not give up heart.

Aunt Wu said, "it's not a long time. My scythe hasn't been used for a long time. The edge of the scythe is rusty and hasn't been polished yet."

Xia Yi helpless stall hand, said to Xia Changsheng: "Changsheng uncle, let's go."

Going out for a long time, Xia Changsheng asked himself the question in his heart: "do you want to see if there is wheat in her family? Why did you borrow the scythe? "

Xia Yi replied, "borrowing the sickle is a cover. I just want to see her feeling about the loss of my wheat. I don't know."

"What do you see?" Asked Xia Changsheng.

Xia Yi thought about it and replied, "judging from her reaction, she should not know."

"Then there's only one place left, your second aunt's home." Xia Changsheng calmly asked, "if the second aunt and her mother's family stole your wheat, how do you deal with it?"

"Coming back, of course." Xia Yi doesn't want to reply, "how can you ask like this?"

Xia Changsheng said: "no matter what, you should always take care of the face of your two uncles and two aunts, so it's better not to make things big, or they will be hard to look up in the village in the future."

Before the friction between Xia Yi and Mao Cuilan, although Xia Changsheng was not at the scene, he always heard some bad remarks.

It's about Xia Yi and Mao Cuilan.

After working with Xia Yi for so long, Xia Changsheng has a little understanding of Xia Yi's character. Sometimes she is too rigid.

But this matter is different from the previous friction. If it is really spread out, it will not have a good impact on several families.

Xia Yi lowered her head and lowered her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll think about it."

Originally, it is not a simple thing to want our wheat back. It is even more difficult to be afraid of hands and feet.
