"Who! What bastard is digging up my rice fields and stealing my irrigation water?"
When Qiu Ping woke up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. More than ten acres of rice fields in Huang'ao Village had been dug and drained of water. Not long after the rice seedlings were planted in the fields, it was the time when water was needed. At this time, an accident occurred, which affected the villagers.
The next year's harvest will be greatly affected.
As a water god, how can I tolerate such a thing happening?
At first he thought it was a dispute among the villagers, and someone was digging into other people's fields at night.
But after asking Tu Tu Gong, Tu Tu Gong said that this was not done by the villagers. However, Tu Tu Gong did not know who did it.
This incident is very strange. Neither Qiu Ping nor Tu Tu Gong sensed any abnormality last night. This Huang'ao Village is within their jurisdiction, so they have no idea how someone could be causing trouble here.
Unless the opponent's strength far exceeds the two of them.
But there should be no great master who is too bored to plow the villagers' paddy fields. How shameless is this?
"Young ones!"
Qiu Ping shouted loudly, and countless loach heads suddenly appeared in the open space below the ancient well.
"Go to the rice fields and inspect them day and night. If there are any changes, come back and report them in time." Qiu Ping also became more aggressive and refused to arrest the other person. He wrote his name backwards!
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
Qiu Ping scratched his head. Could it be that some master had used a magic that could hide the mystery? Otherwise, why wouldn't they be able to sense it at all?
After all, when it comes to causing trouble, this little loach is as good as anyone else.
Moreover, the excavation traces were messy and unorganized, not like a person who often did farm work.
Qiu Ping called out, and the bat swarm in the sky suddenly stopped. After a few circles, a group of bats, big and small, squatted on the ridge of the field.
"Also, why are there so many small holes? Is this drilling? It doesn't look like the depth, but it looks like footprints?" Qiu Ping became even more suspicious.
A large gap has been dug out of a large paddy field. The gap looks like a dog bite. At this moment, the water in the rice field has almost drained away.
"Little old man, I have always been kind to others. How could I offend others randomly? Besides, with my meager strength, if there is an expert, they can just come to their door. Why bother to use such boring methods?" The landowner also thought in his heart.
He was puzzled, but he doubted whether Qiu Ping was responsible for this disaster.
"Don't let me catch you, or I will skin you and remove your bones!" Qiu Ping has never suffered such a big loss since he became the well god. Every time he dares to go to the excavated field ridge, he always hates it.
Teeth itchy.
Both the city god's niece and the ghost boy probably hated themselves to death.
At this moment, the villagers in Huang'ao Village are repairing leaks to prevent water from continuing to drain from the rice fields.
Bai Saner has been very honest since he was beaten last time. When he saw Qiu Ping, he bared his big teeth and showed a flattering smile.
The loaches immediately dispersed and entered the rice fields along the waterway, patrolling everywhere.
"Bai San'er!"
When Qiu Ping arrived, Tu Tu Gong was already standing on the ridge of the field.
"Crash."
But still found nothing.
Just when Qiu Ping was upset, news came from the little loach below, saying that several acres of paddy fields to the east had also been ripped off.
"This...this is too evil."
Generally speaking, it is easier to dig soft soil such as field ridges with a shovel, and no one would use a pickaxe to do so.
They sleep in their caves during the day and don't come out until night to look for food.
He personally led the little loaches on patrol in the fields every day, and would rush over whenever there was any disturbance.
"Master Jing Shen, what are your orders?"
The smallest of these bats is about the size of a puppy, and the largest, Bai Saner, is as big as a human. If an ordinary person were here, they would probably be scared to death.
For three consecutive days, more than 40 acres of paddy fields in the village were dug up, and the villagers complained.
His and Tuigong's perception of authority was completely disabled. Every time they waited until the water was almost drained, they would suddenly feel the change.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Ping was dumbfounded. If they were let off the hook the first time, it could be said that they were negligent. But the second time they were on guard, something went wrong?
"Lord of the Earth, you haven't offended anyone before, right? Otherwise, how can you explain this?"
Just when Qiu Ping was full of anger, a dark cloud flew across the sky.
Qiu Ping had originally heard that someone had stolen water from Chenjiaping, and Qiu Ping was secretly gloating about the misfortune. Now it's fine, and the trouble fell on him.
But looking at how dry these few acres of paddy fields are, it's clear that water has been released for a long time.
It turned out that it was evening, and the bat leader Bai Saner led his family out to look for food. They seemed to have become accustomed to living in Huang'ao Village.
Although Qiu Ping and Tu Tu Gong followed suit and replenished the lost water, they did not cause much damage to the rice fields. How could Qiu Ping be willing to endure such grievances despite his violent temper?
"You guys have been flying around here lately, have you seen anything unusual?"
…
Qiu Ping thought about it. He even doubted whether the fact that he had been in the underworld was leaked. He had offended people severely last time.
Qiu Ping also followed the loaches and came to the place where the field ridge was destroyed.
Facing this invisible enemy, Qiu Ping had absolutely no choice.
Qiu Ping secretly wondered if these bats were responsible, after all, he had ransacked their home last time.
"When I went to Hebo to report on my work a few days ago, I heard the river god from Chenjiaping complain that the water in the village was draining inexplicably, which was exactly the same as the situation here." He suddenly thought of another thing and felt that there should be a difference between the two.
Some connections.
However, given the personalities of those two people, I'm afraid they won't do it in such a roundabout way, and they will most likely come directly to the door.
"Well, looking at the traces, it looks like it was dug out with some kind of instrument. This kind of instrument is relatively sharp, like a pickaxe?" Qiu Ping got closer to the dug gap, and there were some messy digging marks on it.
As the God of the Earth, the Lord of the Earth had no idea when something happened to these acres of land, as if everything happened in an instant.
"Reporting to Mr. Jingshen, we haven't found anything unusual recently. Oh... By the way, is it unusual for a new group of crabs to come to our village?" Bai San'er lowered his head and tried not to let his head be higher than Qiu Ping's.
too much.
But Qiu Ping was too short, so he had to squat down to look less tall.
"Crab! Where is it!"
Qiu Ping heard this word very keenly. He immediately thought of the messy excavated field ridge, plus the hole-like footprints all over the ground. At that time, he suspected that they were left by monsters such as river shrimps and crabs.
It's just that I really couldn't find any evidence, so I didn't think about it deeply.
