Farming and reading family

The effect of this snake-attracting incense exceeded his expectations. No wonder it could attract the mountain-shaking snake.

And it's obviously not normal to have so many snakes here.

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Then several people came outside to kill the snakes crawling over, and Gao E asked someone to pour a cart of lime evenly into the pit. The snakes didn't care about the lime at all and still crowded around the snake-attracting incense.

After all the lime was poured in, Gao E asked someone to pour water in.

When the lime came into contact with water, it began to steam. Some of the small snakes twisted and rolled instantly, and soon all the snakes began to twist and roll, but they showed no intention of leaving.

After a while, the pit became quiet, with only a pile of dead snakes left, which made people's scalps tingle.

There are no snakes crawling towards this side. It seems that the snake-attracting incense in the pit is ineffective.

Everyone gathered around excitedly. If they were asked to catch so many snakes, who knows how long it would take them to catch them all.

"Should we dig another hole and try again?" someone nearby suggested.

Gao E looked at the snake on the ground and said, "Master Cao, please find a snake catcher to see if the snake outside the pit is a local snake."

Cao Geng nodded and ordered the snake catcher to check.

Gao E didn't know much about the types of snakes, but the colors of the ones that came before and those that came later were obviously different.

The snake catcher quickly finished checking and found that all the snakes that came later were local snakes.

Gao E dug the pit here to trap the snakes brought by those people from Qu Zhonglai, and it was inevitable that she would kill local snakes by mistake.

All the poisonous snakes should have been trapped by now, and she wouldn't continue trapping them.

"Then we'll go back first." Gao E saw that it was getting late. "Most of these snakes are poisonous. Lord Cao asked them to bury them."

Lord Cao nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam Chen."

Gao E didn't think she was helping Cao Geng.

She took her people back to Baotou Village and left the rest of the matter to Lord Cao.

After dealing with this matter, Gao E didn't take it to heart. Her daily schedule was full and she had no time to think about it.

When I came back from Bangtang that day, I saw two groups of people arguing as soon as I arrived at the village entrance.

"What's going on?" Gao E looked closer and saw Aunt Xu standing nearby.

"You're back." Xu pulled Gao E back a little. "These people said you killed their family."

Gao E was baffled by what she heard, but she still looked over carefully to make sure she didn't recognize these people: "Why do they say I killed their family?"

"You led people to trap snakes, and those snakes ate people to death." Xu said directly.

Gao E led the people from Baotou Village to do this. Those people came back and told us about it in a miraculous way. Everyone in Baotou Village knew about it.

"Did they eat people to death?" Gao E looked at the women and found that some of them were wearing linen clothes.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You go home first. We can deal with these people." Xu asked Gao E to go first.

Gao E shook her head. It would be fine if she didn't know about this, but if she knew about it and didn't care, then that would be her problem.

"Do you think I, Gao E, am easy to bully?" Gao E said loudly.

The real person arrived and both parties stopped arguing.

Those who came to cause trouble saw Gao E stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Gao E.

Lu Qingluo drew his sword and stood in front of Gao E.

Those who wanted to rush forward took two steps back.

"First, tell me why you came to me." Gao E felt that this matter had nothing to do with her.

"If you hadn't trapped the snake, my man wouldn't have eaten the snake and wouldn't have died." Immediately, a woman burst into tears.

"That's right, that's right. You will suffer retribution for killing so many snakes at once."

"You give so much compensation to others, so what if you give us a little?"

……

The more Gao E listened, the more outrageous it seemed to her. Perhaps they heard from someone that she was generous and would give a lot of money when someone died, so they came to her.

Do these people think she looks like a sucker?

"Think it over carefully. Lord Cao was there when we trapped the snakes that day, and he was the one who dealt with the snakes. If someone dies after eating the snakes, that's Lord Cao's problem. If you continue to make trouble here, I'll go to the government office and sue you for extortion." Gao E said directly.

Those people fell silent instantly. They naturally knew that Lord Cao was there that day. They even praised Lord Cao as a good official who loved the people like his own children.

But they will not go to Lord Cao, as they are well aware that the people should not fight against the officials.

But when someone in their family died, they always felt that the death shouldn't be in vain.

"If you don't leave, I will report you to the authorities." Gao E saw that they were not moving.

A woman sat on the ground and started crying. She was crying and talking about how her husband had died and she couldn't even afford a coffin. She had two children...

That's so pitiful.

Mrs. Xu was a little moved when she heard this, thinking that it must not be easy for the woman without her husband.

"Get out!" Gao E roared.

The woman sitting on the ground crying was so scared that she choked and dared not continue crying.

"When intimidation fails, he starts crying and complaining. He's fickle, and his goal is still to get money." Gao E said coldly, "This kind of behavior is what a true villain does."

Those who had some sympathy for the woman realized it was true, as she was the one who had been making the most noise before.

"Either get out now, or come with me to the yamen." Gao E was not going to tolerate them at all.

This kind of person is like a leech, without bones. Once you get infected, you will be sucked dry by them all the time.

The group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to go to the yamen with Gao E.

But none of them wanted to take a step back first, otherwise people would say that they were the ones who retreated first.

"Let's go to the yamen." Gao E said and left.

Those who are still hesitating turn around and run, fearing that they will run too slowly.

The people in Batou Village burst into laughter.

Gao E sneered.

Xu looked at Gao E and said, "Normally, there's nothing you can do when you encounter someone like this."

"It just deserves to be punished." Gao E said with a smile.

They are not members of the Chen family, who would make Gao E afraid to act rashly and would be dealt with at the slightest disagreement.

A few days later, Xie Changyao brought You Wei to Batou Village. As soon as the two unfamiliar faces arrived in Batou Village, they were targeted. When the villagers saw that there was no movement after they went to Chen's house, they felt relieved.

"This is our boss, You Da." Xie Changyao introduced.

You Wei smiled innocently and said, "Just call me You Wei."

"From now on you are good citizens, so put away your banditry." Gao E reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Youwei saw that their house was already under construction, and it was a beautiful brick house.

I didn't expect that You Wei could live in a brick house openly during his lifetime. It must be the blessing of his ancestors.

"How many of you are coming this time?" Gao E had reminded them not to bring too many people at once.

"We came in two groups and took a small path, so we didn't attract attention." Xie Changyao assured us, "Hutouzhai was also burned, leaving no trace."

Gao E nodded and said, "Your house isn't finished yet. You can just stay in the cave for a while and work with the builders to build a house."

"Okay." The two people agreed.

"Also, don't get into conflict with my people. If my people are looking for trouble, just be patient and I will give you an explanation." Gao E reminded.
