"You want to go back to the village? Can you still do the matter of scattering realgar?" the county magistrate asked hurriedly.

"No need to do it, there is no point in it." Chen Xuran shook her head.

After all, everyone's attention has been placed on the snake eggs. And after asking everyone to adopt the snake eggs that day, Zhang Yuanli asked someone to hang a sign at the entrance of the Zuixian Tower, declaring that there will be no snake meat feast for two months from today. His reason is also very sufficient - now is the breeding season for snakes, and he wants the descendants of the snake fairy to have enough time to recuperate!

This reason is in front of you. Who dares to refute those who believe in the snake fairy?

So, the Zuixian Tower, which has no snake meat supply, still stands steadily in Guanyin Town. Those who have booked the snake banquet in advance have not complained, because Zhang Yuanli did not cancel their banquet, but just pushed it back for two months. And in Zhang Yuanli's words, "The rain grows in summer, and the snakes are rich in food in the wild. Take this opportunity to let them eat more. The ones they catch are more plump and taste better when they make it!"

Everyone was so tempted by his words that they were drooling, and they all thought about turning back and eating more tender and delicious snake meat. Who has the heart to complain?

This problem was solved by a few of their snake eggs!

As for the money for the full snake banquet lost in the past two months, they have already filled in with the hard work of adopting snake eggs. They even don’t even have to pay for nothing, which is more cost-effective than catching snakes and killing snakes and being snakes!

Chen Xuran felt choking whenever he thought about it.

No, he has to go back and deal with these people well. He wants to see what medicine is buried in their gourd!

"Oh, I understand." The eldest son of the county magistrate lazily heard this, and he pointed his head lazily, "So, you have lost to their hands again."

Chen Xuran choked again.

"It's just a plan mistake. I will definitely plan carefully next time." He said shamelessly.

The county magistrate smiled. "I hope this is the case!"

A cold light flashed in Chen Xuran's eyes.

He quickly stood up. "I'll go to say goodbye to the county magistrate first." Then he left quickly.

Just after walking out for about ten steps, he stopped. He turned coldly to look at the county magistrate who was still sitting lazily on the recliner. He gritted his teeth and hummed: "Just you idiot, what qualifications do you have to look down on me? Don't forget that all the credit you have now earned, I will give you my big head! In the end, if someone praises you a few words, you really think you are amazing and think you are extremely smart? Sooner or later I will make you pay the price for your stupidity!"

After cursing fiercely for a long time, he turned his head and left.

Chen Xuran was right, Gao Feng and the others did have a hand.

Although the rapid spread of that drama caused people in the town to start searching for snake eggs everywhere. But finding snake eggs is one thing, and whether the small snakes in the snake eggs can be hatched is another matter.

Many people think that hatching snake eggs is like hatching eggs, and they foolishly stuffed the snake eggs into the chicken coop. As a result, the snake eggs were either eaten by the chicken or stolen by the weasel.

Otherwise, it will be damaged by dampness when placed outside, and the eggshell will become moldy and broken.

There are also snake eggs that are exposed to the sun under the scorching sun and are dried up.

Anyway, all kinds of tricks are coming out frequently, and many eggs are ruined.

"Amitabha, it's really a sin!" Hearing these things, Zhang Yuanli couldn't help but clasp his hands together and recite the Buddha's name.

Gu Caining looked at him angrily. "Since you were planning to do this at the beginning, you should have thought that such a result would occur. Moreover, the more those people got crazy, the more eggs they broke. When the snake eggs in our hands successfully hatched the small snake, wouldn't it seem that those eggs were really inspired by the snake fairy and were of great value. Is it worthy of the high price paid by those gentry?"

"That's right, but I still didn't expect that things would be so crazy. Almost, all of this was beyond my control!" Zhang Yuanli sighed.

After a long time, he was boasting about himself again!

Gu Caining rolled her eyes, she didn't expect to talk to him anymore.

But at this time, I suddenly saw Shi Tou walking in again.

"Young Master, the young master Chen from Shuangqiao Village is back. And..."

"And what?" Zhang Yuanli asked hurriedly.

Shi Toucai continued, "Also, he asked someone to go to the place where I bought the tank last time and bought a few exactly the same tanks. He also asked someone to go to the river to dig a lot of river sand and loess. He first dried it at the door of his house, and then put it in and spread it in the tank. Then, he didn't know where he got a few snake eggs."

Shi Tou said so clearly that they knew what Chen Xuran wanted to do when she came back this time.

Gu Caining smiled softly. "This person is indeed very smart. He realized so quickly that I bought a tank of digging soil to hatch snake eggs, and I also prepared all the things I needed."

"It's a pity that he was painting a cat and was only learning the shell, but not the essence." Gao Feng said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Gu Caining nodded in agreement.

Large jars and sand are just the most basic needs. But the most important thing in hatching snake eggs is temperature and humidity, which are the most difficult to control. Even Gu Caining and Gao Feng are not fully sure. In other words, even if Chen Xuran wants to copy, he can't copy it! Because Gu Caining and others are still in the quest stage!

Zhang Yuanli raised his eyebrows. "You mean, he is planning to learn to hatch snake eggs by himself when he comes back this time? Why is he learning this?"

"Only he knows this," Gu Caining spreads his hands, "but based on my understanding of him, this person will never do anything for no reason. So he has a goal to do this."

"Whatever he has intent? Anyway, let's do our job well now. Those gentry send people to see the eggs every day now! They just need to send someone to stay there. I still have to think about a good idea and replace the eggs when they are not paying attention." Zhang Yuanli said loudly.

"Yes." Gu Caining nodded, "The person surnamed Chen is powerful and powerful here, and we can't move them for a while. Then just do whatever he wants. Anyway, as long as he dares to do something to my family, I will definitely not let him go!"

"That's right! These snake eggs are my life now. If they have a short and small size, I will fight him too!" Zhang Yuanli clenched his fists and waved them hard a few times.

However, after Chen Xuran had dealt with them so many times, this person had become much more honest. These days, he locked himself at home every day and did not come out to find trouble again.

During this period, Gu Caining and Gao Feng also asked someone to turn over the forty or fifty acres of wheat fields, water them, and then plant rice.

There was a small episode in the middle, that is—

One morning, Gu Caining and Gao Feng were carrying seedlings together and were about to go to the paddy fields to plant them when they suddenly heard someone cursing at the top of their voices dozens of steps ahead.

When Gu Caining heard this, she turned to Gao Feng and said, "It's your mother."

"I heard it." Gao Feng nodded, "It seems that the canal in her field has been changed. There is no water in the field now, so he is scolding!"

Gu Caining immediately understood.

The land in the village is divided together, and the other tributary of the Lan River that runs through the thousands of acres of land is commonly known as Shuangliu River. Every year in late spring and early summer, the water in the Shuangliu River rises, and every household digs canals from Shuangliu River to lure the water in the river into the ground. However, there is only so much water in the river, and if this family is flooded, there will be fewer one. Therefore, two families next to the field often quarrel over the water.

However, Tian’s family had a lot of land on hand. The land on the Shuangliu River was her family for a long time, so she had never had any problems in diversion of water in recent years.

But this time, something suddenly went wrong!

Tian was shouting and cursing there. When the villagers heard the news, they rushed over to see the situation. Then they saw a tall and strong man walking over. He was naked and wearing a pair of white-washed cotton pants under him. He lazily came to Tian: "What are you yelling at? That's right, I changed the canal. Is there any problem?"

"Okay, Zhou Laoba, don't dig the canal by yourself. What does it mean to change my canal?" Tian immediately cursed.

Zhou Laoba grinned, "Isn't this a bystander? There is a ready-made canal here, so why do I have to do it myself? Aunt Gao, don't worry, when the water in my field is full, I will definitely change the canal back to you! It's only two days, you'll wait."

"Why? This is my canal!" Tian scolded angrily, "Now you can change it back for me!"

While talking, she reached out to grab Zhou Laoba and wanted to drag him to change the canal.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Laoba pushed her and pushed her to the ground.

"You stinky woman, I'll give you some face, you've even made me angry, right? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Tian sat on the ground, and she was even more angry. "You, you... you have any reason to occupy my canal, right?"

"What's the matter with me?" She was fierce, and Zhou Laoba was even more fierce than her.

The tall man walked directly to her in two steps, and his tall figure enveloped Tian, ​​which immediately scared Tian to tremble.

Tian suddenly shivered and couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhou Laoba snorted coldly. "If it weren't for the two pieces of land in your house that were close to Shuangliu River and there were ready-made canals next to you, you thought I would buy these two pieces of land in your house? Since I bought this land for me, I would have to use this canal. Do you dare to say something more? Let me say another word, I will keep the rest of the land in your house and will not be filled with water this year!"

Tian was so scared that he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

Seeing this, the villagers began to whisper in groups of three or three.

"What a sin! You said that Tian's family is so good. Originally, they all belong to their family, so she uses this canal. As a result, she sells the best place to get water to Zhou Laoba. Isn't this waiting for someone to steal water? She doesn't know who Zhou Laoba is, but that's the bully of our Shuangliu Village! His uncle opened a shop in the town and has a strong relationship with Lizheng. Even the village chief dares to offend him! Now only Tian's family, she dares to fight Zhou Laoba?"

"This is also what she asked for! Who told her to have nothing to do? She bought ewes for the kiln sister and made silver bracelets for others? Those are all money! She didn't have much money on hand, so she could only sell the land. And they were shameful, and they felt that it was too embarrassing to sell the land to Feng Ge'er and others before. This time, even the village chief didn't tell her and secretly looked for someone in the village. After searching for her, she found Zhou Laoba. As a result, now, his two pieces of land are really good!"

...

Listening to everyone's conversation, Gu Caining figured out all the tricks here.

She immediately turned around and smiled at Gao Feng. "It seems that last time we exchanged Cui Qiao for twenty or thirty acres of land under her, this incident has hit her a big blow! Now she would rather sell the land quietly to the bullies in the village than let us take over. But now, her own decision has come."

"Whatever she is." Gao Feng said this coldly, then turned around and left.

His steps were particularly large and heavier. You could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood.

Gu Caining sighed helplessly. There was nothing we could do about this. He sold the coolies in the Gao family for most of the lands, but Tian still tried every means to guard against him. Now he secretly sold the land to others! You can imagine how big the blow to him was.

Now, he was worried when he saw this.

Gu Caining looked back at the other side. After Zhou Laoba threatened and threatened Tian's family, he left directly.

Tian watched him leave just like that, and then he sniffed himself, then patted his thigh and started crying and scolding.

But when the villagers saw this, except for two young wives who went over to comfort her a few words, the others shook their heads and carried the seedlings from their loads to plant rice in their own fields.

Now is the time to plant seedlings, who has time to worry about her family’s affairs?

Tian sat alone on the ridge of the field and cried for a long time, but in the end she didn't dare to change the canal. She could only stare at the canal that was modified by Zhou Laoba, and then stomped her feet angrily: "You wait for me! When my son comes back from the exam and gets back, I will ask you to change the canal to me with your own hands!"

After Gu Caining heard this weak announcement from afar, she could only shout lightly and then continue to lower her head to plant rice.

This is just a small wave in their lives. After the incident, Gu Caining threw it behind.

After all, after planting the seedlings, the snake eggs she buried in the jar began to move one after another.

Gu Caining had to go over to check the situation every day, and he had to turn the snake eggs around seven or eight days later. So when she found that the snake eggs were starting to move, she made a quick decision and rushed to the town with Gao Feng, carrying the snake egg that had already cracked a crack.

Zhang Yuanli has been waiting for the battle these days. After all, Gu Caining had told him that the hatching period of snake eggs is between one month and two months. More than a month has passed since they picked up the snake eggs!

So when he heard that Gu Caining and his wife came to the door with baskets, Zhang Yuanli understood what was going on.

He quickly welcomed them into the restaurant. He lifted the wet cloth covered with snake eggs and looked at the words on it - yes, after confirming the adoption of each person's snake egg, they turned their heads and wrote the names of adoptive people on all the same eggs. So now, as soon as they saw the name of the snake egg, they knew who the snake egg belonged to.
