Xiao Qiang went home and just told Xiao Yu that the town was ready to send people over. It is estimated that the insecticide can be sprayed on tonight! But now I don’t know who leaked the news about bugs growing on the apple trees. Many apple buyers
The dealers don't want to buy apples from Shimo Village, saying they are afraid of eating them and making people sick.
"These people are really disgusting. They used to beg us to sell apples, but now they won't buy them if something happens! Isn't their little thought just to lower the price of apples? It's not like they are passing off inferior products as good ones.
have never done it".
Xiao Qiang took a sip of tea and muttered angrily.
In the whole village, it is estimated that only Xiao Yu's family and Xiao Ping's family did not suffer much damage! Although some people listened to Xiao Yu's suggestion at that time, they saw that others did not move, so they slowed down their actions, so
The losses now are just a little less than others.
"Dad, since someone is taking care of this matter, don't worry about it, otherwise you won't be able to get any benefits even if you try your best."
Xiao Yu sat on the door pillar, looking at Xiao Qiang's indignant look, and couldn't help but comfort him.
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Qiang opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. He knew what Xiao Yu meant. When Xiao Yu told the incident, many people questioned him. Now something happened.
It’s true that he can’t blame himself! But as a villager of Shimo Village, it wouldn’t make sense if he pretended not to see it.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang chatted for a while, then went back to the house to draw a few talismans before finding Xiao Ping. The two of them rushed to the orchard on the mountain. It was already dusk, but the mountain was still lively. Many villagers held flashlights.
, it means working overtime one night to pick all the apples.
"Xiao Yu, it's almost dark. What do you mean by catching butterflies? There are no butterflies in our orchard." Xiao Ping was very excited when he first heard about catching butterflies, but after walking around the apple orchard with Xiao Yu, what?
He didn't even notice it, so he couldn't help but muttered.
"What do you know? Butterflies only come out when it's dark. If I say there, there will be butterflies." Xiao Yu said while looking left and right.
Xiao Yu wanted to try his luck and see if he could find butterflies. After all, if those bugs were really causing trouble, they would definitely be around! But the orchard was too dense. Although some of the fruit trees were eaten by bugs, the butterflies were hiding there casually.
Under the leaves, I guess I can't even see the other person with my eyes!
After walking around in the orchard for more than two hours, Xiao Yu's legs were a little numb, but there was still no delivery. The sky was getting darker and darker. Looking around, it was so dark that even if there were butterflies, they couldn't be seen.
.
"Let's go home and come back tomorrow." Xiao Yu squatted down, rubbed his numb legs, and then continued, "Xiao Ping, why didn't you see Uncle Second Artillery today? Did you see him?"
Xiao Ping picked an apple from the tree and wiped it on his clothes. He quickly shook his head and said, "He was very mysterious that day. How could I see it? But in the afternoon, someone came to him to pick up apples and said that he was carrying a bag."
I don’t know what to do anymore.”
"With the bag in hand, do you want to go out to work?" Xiao Yu said.
"Who knows, if he was working, he would have gone out a long time ago. How could it be now?" Xiao Ping muttered while eating an apple.
As soon as I got home in the evening, Xiao Yu's mother came out of the kitchen and pulled Xiao Yu to sign, "A policeman called me tonight and said he knew you and asked you to help me with something, but your father stopped me.
Say you are in school and don’t have time.”
"Mom knows that you and your grandfather have learned some things, but now that the devil has been caught, you should stop running around, review it quickly, and get ready for school. You will be in sixth grade soon. You need to get into a good junior high school so that you can
Go to college".
Xiao Yu's mother made gestures for a while before Xiao Yu understood what she meant. He immediately pulled his mother to sit on the stool and said.
"Mom, I know, but there is something going on right now. If I don't take care of it, it will probably have an impact on the village! But don't worry, I won't delay my studies. Don't worry, you and Dad."
"Okay, you are a sensible child. Mom is uneducated and doesn't know anything. If you need anything, just tell mom and she will definitely find a way for you."
After saying that, Xiao Yu's mother got up and went to the kitchen again, brought out a bowl of eggs, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Yu to eat quickly. Although eggs are not a good thing for city people, for rural people, they are still a good thing.
What’s more important! Not only can these eggs hatch chicks, but they can also be sold to make money. Although it’s not much, it can always be used to provide some supplies for the house.
Soon after dark, the town's technical department came, mixed some potions overnight, and began spraying a large area in the orchard, hoping to protect the fruit trees from being damaged by insects as quickly as possible! And I heard the town technician said
, this kind of bug is a mealworm, which usually only appears when it blooms. They don’t understand why there are so many now.
At night, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly when suddenly a mouse came out from the corner of the wall. But as soon as the mouse came out, it was picked up by the little ghost floating in the house. He suddenly floated in the air, and the mouse squeaked in fear.
He kept going on and on, appearing extremely frightened, and suddenly woke up Xiao Yu who was sleeping soundly.
Xiao Yu turned over and climbed up. When he saw the mouse floating in the air, he knew that the kid had caught him and immediately said, "Xiaoqiang, let him go quickly."
As soon as the sound fell, the mouse fell to the ground with a thud, and then hurriedly ran to the corner, but instead of running away, it stood up on its two front legs, bowed to Xiao Yu, and then kept squeaking.
Looking at this strange mouse, Xiao Yu thought the mouse wanted to eat, so he pinched some steamed buns from the bedside table and threw them over. However, the mouse sniffed the steamed buns and continued to squeak.
.
"What do you mean? You don't think this tastes good?" Xiao Yu was amused by the appearance of the mouse. He immediately got up from the bed and walked towards the mouse. At this moment, the mouse suddenly ran towards Xiao Yu's door.
Go, run a few steps and turn back to Xiao Yu and squeak twice.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu understood that this must be the mountain god who asked the mouse to report the news. The mouse meant to let him go with him!
"Xiaoqiang, let's go." Xiao Yu hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door gently, and ran out with the mouse.
The mouse was very fast. As it ran, it looked back at Xiao Yu and the others. One person and one animal entered the orchard in an instant. However, there are relatively few people in the orchard now. Even if there are people, they are all villagers guarding the orchard here, so Xiao Yu
He walked around the villagers with ease and followed the mouse for two hours, finally stopping in a corner of the orchard.
In the corner of the orchard, the Mountain God Mouse stood up straight and looked ahead. When he saw Xiao Yu coming, he ran out in two steps, then quickly climbed to Xiao Yu's shoulder and said, "Taoist, it's on the tree in front.
