Capítulo 923: Chapter 921_1

Xiao'er shook her head: "This is salt brine."

Salt brine is even cheaper than coarse salt. However, it can't be used as edible salt because it is slightly toxic.

The two substances look similar. Consuming too much of one could poison you to death, while consuming too much of the other could...well, dehydrate you to death.

Baozi's father clenched his fists, he never expected her to notice this subtle clue.

But what does that matter! Even if she knows the reason for the wilting of the fruit trees, there is no evidence proving that he did it!

He was careful to apply the salt brine to the yellow dragon fruit trees at midnight for several consecutive days, without anyone spotting him! Not even a dog barked!

After listening to Xiao'er, the villagers looked at each other, and the village chief asked the crowd, "Whose family accidentally left these salts here?"

Everyone shook their heads after hearing this:

"Not my family!"

"Not me either!"

...

"Not me."
