Chapter 75 Someone Steals Melons

The nights in the countryside are always quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects and frogs. There are no other entertainment activities, and the oil lamps and candles are very expensive, and no one can afford to use them for a long time, so they all go to bed very early. Lin Zhu

After dinner with Chang's mother, I gave Fu Dou'er a bath, then took turns to wash her up, and then played with Fu Dou'er for a while before falling asleep.

Although Linjia Village was peaceful, Lin Zhu's melon field was not peaceful at this time. A figure appeared sneakily around the melon field, holding a sack in his hand. It seemed that he knew that the melon field was guarded by dogs, and deliberately went to Heidou'er.

He threw a piece of fragrant meat pie into the small shack. Hei Dou'er had long been famous in Linjia Village. All the local dogs in the village were afraid of it, so the man waited for a while and found no movement, thinking that Hei Dou'er was gone.

, he went to the melon field with peace of mind, looked around to compare the bigger watermelons under the melon vines, and finally found the biggest one. He just picked it off and wanted to put it into a sack. Suddenly there was a pain in his leg, and he screamed.

A voice shouted.

He turned around and saw a dog biting his calf. This dog was Hei Dou'er. It was biting hard and he could feel Hei Dou'er's teeth digging into his flesh little by little. He couldn't help it.

He kicked his calves, trying to throw it away.

With a whoosh, the trousers on his calf were bitten by the dog, and his leg was temporarily freed from Heidou'er's mouth, and blood spilled all over the floor. Seeing Heidou'er trying to bite him, he was frightened.

He ran out quickly. In his haste, he trampled a lot of melon vines. Just when he was about to run out of the melon field, the dog that was chasing behind him suddenly jumped up and bit the man on the buttocks. "Ah!" he said.

He kept patting the dog's head. "You dead dog, let go, let go quickly."

Alas, the pants on the back of his butt could not withstand the sharpness of the dog's teeth. Even the flesh on his pants was bitten off by the dog, and blood flowed out. At this time, he was so frightened that he ran away in a crawl.

. He didn't even bother to take the sack away. It was midnight at this time, and no one noticed what happened in the melon field. Hei Dou'er drove away the melon thief and lay down quietly in the corner of the melon field. What is biting?

People's dogs don't bark. The melon thief must have realized this deeply.

The next day was the day when Lin Zhu tasted the ripe watermelon for the first time. She called over Dr. Zhang early in the morning and said, "Grandpa, I will let you taste the watermelon I grew by myself later. This is definitely your favorite."

I've never tasted it before." Lin Zhu boasted confidently.

I had heard that Lin Zhu was going to pick watermelons. Village chief Lin Changqing and Aunt Li also came over, as well as Wang Shudun and his two sons. These watermelons were grown by Lin Zhu's mouth and hands. It was the first time to taste them.

, of course they are indispensable. Lin Zhu asked Chang's mother to stand by the field with Fu Dou'er. "Fu Dou'er, let me show you what my sister is capable of." Fu Dou'er opened his small mouth and held his weapon - a rattle.

Lin Zhu cheered and shouted, "Ah ah ah." When he accidentally drooled, Chang's mother quickly wiped it off.

"Grandpa, you guys wait here. Brother Wang and I will go pick it." Lin Zhu asked the Wang brothers, who were obviously very excited, to go to the melon field together. At this time, Heidouer ran away from afar.

Come here. Knowing that his master is here, he can't stop acting coquettishly at Lin Zhu's feet. "Good Heidou. Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a snack today, your favorite big bone." Lin Zhu knelt down and touched Heidou.

son's head.

After being intimate with Heidouer for a while, Lin Zhu let it go and went to look for watermelons in the melon fields. Wang Lin and Wang Mu couldn't bear it anymore and went to the melon fields to look for watermelons separately. They were specifically looking for those big melons with smooth skins.

If you find a watermelon with clear patterns, obvious lines, and a yellowish underside, you can pick it with your fingers and hear a popping sound. This is what Lin Zhu taught you, so the two couldn't wait to test this method to see if it worked.

After a while, the three of them each found a watermelon, picked it off, and brought it to everyone. Lin Zhu held it in front of Dr. Zhang like a treasure, "Grandpa, what do you think?" Butler Zhang took the watermelon from her hand.

He patted the watermelon with his hand and said, "Yes, Miss Zhu's choice is really good." "Oh, let me take a look at it." Dr. Zhang also picked it up and looked at it, "It's good. Let's go back to the house and cut it first."

Take a look at this one from Kaizhu Yatou."

"Hehe, I'll come, I'll come, I'll be the first to cut it." Lin Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and was about to take the watermelon and carry it away.

"Girl, are you injured?" Mother Chang's sharp eyes saw an unusual dark red color on Lin Zhu's forehead. She grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully. When the others heard her words, they also stopped and looked at her with concern.

Bamboo in the forest.

"No, I don't feel any pain." Lin Zhu spread his hands for Chang's mother to look at. "Girl, why are there bloodstains on your hands?" Chang's mother pointed out the bloodstains on her hands to her. "I don't know either.

What's going on?" Lin Zhu was also confused and didn't know where the blood came from. "I didn't touch anything today. I only picked a watermelon and there was no bleeding."

Doctor Zhang looked at her hand and found no wounds, so he motioned to Butler Zhang to go to the field to check. At this moment, Heidouer came to Lin Zhu's feet again and rubbed his head against Lin Zhu's calf. Lin Zhu touched it again.

Its head said, "I touched the black bean just now. Could it be that it was injured?"

Lin Zhu held Heidou'er's head with his hands and looked closely. He saw some dark and red colors around his mouth. "What is this?" There were no wounds on Heidou'er's face, but there was blood.

At this time, Butler Zhang hurried over from the field and showed everyone what he had in his hand. They were two pieces of black cloth stained with blood. There was also a sack containing a watermelon. "What's going on?" Zhang

The old doctor asked in a deep voice.

"I found it in the corner of the melon field. Some of the melon vines were trampled and there were two blood stains. I also picked up two pieces of blood-stained cloth. It seemed that someone had stolen the melons, and the black beans were bitten off the thief's pants.

I guess that's how the blood stains on Heidou'er's face came from." Butler Zhang told everyone in detail what he found in the melon field.

The fact that someone stole melons made Lin Zhu very angry. Old Doctor Zhang looked very ugly, "Village Chief Lin, what's going on?" Although Old Doctor Zhang used to be an imperial doctor, he was actually a high-ranking court official.

Even with a straight face, he was still full of momentum. Village chief Lin Changqing's heart skipped a beat and he said with some fear, "Old sir, I don't know what's going on? I'll go to the village right away to check."

After such an incident, no one was in the mood to taste watermelon together, so Lin Zhu asked each of them to take one back.

"Xiao Zhu, don't worry, uncle will definitely catch this thief." Lin Changqing felt shameless. This kind of thing happened in the village, and his face was not bright. He just wanted to catch the melon thief immediately.

Hit him with a golden light. "Xiao Zhu, don't worry, I'll tell your brother Hongyuan later and let him look at the melons at night." The first thing Li thought of was to have someone look after the melon fields, so that Lin Zhu wouldn't let Lin Zhu do it again.

suffer losses.

"Thank you, auntie. I don't think that melon thief will dare to come again. Heidou'er should have bitten him badly." "Hey, how can that be done? I'll ask the second and third children to come over and take turns in the melon shed at night.

Watch." Wang Shudun also agreed with Aunt Li's opinion.

Seeing how persistent they were, Lin Zhu couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to thank them repeatedly and then dispersed.

Lin Zhu took Hei Dou'er home and washed his face with water. "Hei Dou'er, good job, bite those melon thieves hard so that they don't have the guts to steal to my aunt's head, hum!"

Old Doctor Zhang was sitting in the main room and heard Lin Zhu's unobtrusive words outside. He glanced at Chang's mother. Chang's mother also heard Lin Zhu's words of aunt. She lowered her head and saluted to Old Doctor Zhang in shame, "I'm a slave."

I did not teach you well, so please forgive me." "I need to teach you well in the future." "Yes."

"Girl Zhu, come in." Old Doctor Zhang called her loudly.

"Here we come," Lin Zhu agreed cheerfully, "Grandpa, I'll cut the watermelon for you right now." "Don't worry, come, Grandpa wants to tell you something." When Lin Zhu came closer,

Asked, "Do you know what these four virtues are?"

"Ah?" Hearing Old Doctor Zhang's question suddenly, Lin Zhu was stunned and a little confused. She didn't know what Old Doctor Zhang meant by this. "Don't you know the Four Virtues?" Old Doctor Zhang glanced at the person he was talking to.

Lin Zhu made a gesture to remind Mother Chang, and then she continued to ask. "Yes, it's about women's virtues, women's words, uh, um, women's appearance." He paused, "By the way, there are also women's workers." After speaking, he looked towards

Dr. Zhang.

"Well, it seems that Mother Chang has taught you the lesson." Old Doctor Zhang nodded, and before Lin Zhu could get happy, he added, "From today on, Mother Chang will teach you the training of girls and the training of girls in order."

Give it to Zhu Yatou, I will check it every seven days, do you understand?" "Yes." Mother Chang bowed and agreed.

"Grandpa, why?" Lin Zhu felt that the happy farming life was going away from her, replaced by the shackles of ancient women's dogma such as the three obediences and four virtues. "Mother Chang is too indulgent to you, learn some rules from now on.

It’s not too late.” One sentence decided that Lin Zhu had no hope of turning around.

"Okay, this is for your future sake and not to lose your temper." Old Doctor Zhang patted Lin Zhu's head and said comfortingly, "As long as you remember to be careful in your words and actions in front of outsiders, I will not let you open the door.

You can’t even leave home without going out.” “Now go and cut up the watermelon you grew and bring it over. Haven’t you always wanted me to try it?”

Chang's mother and Lin Zhu went to the kitchen to cut watermelon together, "Mother Chang, what's wrong with my godfather?" Lin Zhu asked quietly, "It's not your aunt who made trouble." Chang's mother said to her softly, "Isn't it normal?"

It's my fault that I teach you strictly. It won't be so easy from now on." "Ah!" If someone makes a mistake, she will be resented forever, and if she makes a mistake, she will be resented forever. It's all her own fault. It's okay.

Why are you swearing in front of your elders? It’s too late now. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
