In Qingping County, mulberry trees all over the mountains and plains form a mulberry sea.

There are silkworm houses scattered among them, some with lights burning in the night, like fishing boats in the sea, making the night even more profound.

When the wind blows, the mulberry forest rustles, as if countless silkworms are devouring the mulberry leaves.

Since the owner named Ning expanded the weaving mill here and expanded the surrounding mulberry forest nearly ten times, many people in Qingping County have lived a good life.

Zhao Chuang is one of the beneficiaries.

At that time, he was living a normal life, barely having enough food and clothing, and his life was numb and boring.

But what made him sad at night was that his childhood sweetheart in his hometown was getting married.

Although the two of them didn't have a private life-long commitment, they were almost there.

He left that remote town and came to this seemingly lively county, thinking he could make a difference.

But it's too slow.

It was so slow that she couldn't wait for her to go back.

He almost shed tears when he looked at the wooden hairpin that Xiaoyun sent and told him that she had made an appointment.

And just when Zhao Chuang was feeling confused due to grief, news came that Ning Dong's family was planning to expand the weaving mill and needed more people to plant trees and raise silkworms.

At that time, people in the county were quite cautious. In addition, some local snakes threatened that anyone who dared to do business with outsiders privately would not get good results, so even fewer people responded.

It is said that the families who originally raised silkworms were changing hands at that time, and they must have encountered some troubles.

Zhao Chuang was in the pain of losing his beloved, and felt that he had nothing to lose. He even had the mentality of "I'll just do it, let's see who will make me eat the bad fruit."

Who would have thought that this would be the luckiest choice he has ever made since his birth.

What others didn't want to do or didn't dare to do, he took out all his savings and became one of the first people to respond to Ning Dong's family.

He was just ready to give it a try and was already prepared for local snakes to come to his door.

What I didn't expect was that this matter went surprisingly smoothly. The clamoring local snakes seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, melting like ice and snow, and there was even more support from the county magistrate.

Only then did Zhao Chuang know that Ning Dong's family had some tricks up his sleeve.

When the county citizens reacted and joined in one after another, it was naturally incomparable to him who entered the game early.

The silk that Ning Dong's family wants is of the highest quality. Other sericulture farmers are still reluctant to part with their original silkworms. When they think of mixing in some middle-class silkworms, he, the newcomer, will never mix in any fake silk.

To be honest, before the first batch of silk was released, he was very worried. If the "best quality goods" that Ning Dongjia said were just words and did not give a sufficient price, then he would lose money.

At that time, he also heard that his boss only had one eye open, which made him even more uneasy.

Fortunately, Mr. Ning knew the goods and gave a sincere price for his silk, while some others were adulterated, and some of them were even rejected.

Although he made his first fortune by raising silkworms, it was indeed a wonderful experience. If the momentum continues like this, his little dream of getting ahead can be seen.

Unfortunately, thinking about Xiaoyun who was about to marry someone else, he felt uncomfortable and bored again.

Even though he became famous later on, he eventually lost the passion he had always wanted in his heart.

But who would have thought that since he started raising silkworms, his luck has become better and better, and Xiaoyun actually came here.

He was surprised and frightened at the time, and asked: "Xiaoyun, you..."

"I'm breaking off the engagement, and we won't be separated from each other in the future."

...

The beautiful things that have happened in the past year and a half are almost like a dream.

Zhao Chuang felt that this was really God's care, so he cherished everything in front of him more and more.

In order to raise silkworms better, he even lived in the silkworm house in this mulberry forest.

Zhao Chuang held a lantern and walked in the forest, his footsteps as light as before

quick.

In fact, he encountered more good things than the above during this period.

I don’t know if he was born to raise silkworms, or if he was just lucky enough to pick up the best silkworm species. One of his silkworms grew particularly well, as fat as a piglet, and produced a lot of silk.

To be honest, when he first saw the silkworms growing so big, he was a little scared.

After all, I have never heard of anyone raising such a big silkworm.

But after spending a lot of time with this silkworm, he discovered that not only was it no different from ordinary silkworms, but it also produced a huge amount of food, he felt a sense of intimacy.

Every time he stayed with this big silkworm, he always felt at ease.

This big silkworm is his secret, a secret that even Xiaoyun doesn't know.

Ahead, the silkworm house in the night was very close.

Pushing the door open and lighting the oil lamp, the originally dark room became warm.

Zhao Chuang walked into the innermost room and found that the room was already covered with silk in just one day.

He gently opened the white cloth, and a silkworm the size of a piglet lay there, its body squirming slightly, and it looked like it was asleep.

He couldn't help but gently stroked the big silkworm's back, and the texture on it was very clear.

DaSi suddenly trembled and woke up.

After a moment of silence, it suddenly raised half of its body, exposing its colorful belly, and made a rustling sound toward the roof, looking like it was very excited.

Dacan was always quiet, and this situation rarely happened. For a moment, Zhao Chuang was a little worried.

After all, this big silkworm is his treasure.

Fortunately, Dacan quickly calmed down and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Zhao Chuang gently covered it with white cloth, like covering a sleeping lover with a quilt.

Afterwards, Zhao Chuang couldn't help but feel a little sleepy because he had too much dinner, but it wasn't time to go to bed yet, so he sat down on the chair next to him and prepared to take a nap.

Squinting, Zhao Chuang was suddenly awakened by a gust of wind.

He looked at the silk in the room, then looked outside, and found that there was nothing strange.

But when he sat down again, he couldn't fall asleep anymore. Instead, the feeling of panic kept lingering in his heart.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Involuntarily, Zhao Chuang remembered the way the big silkworm raised his body just now, as if saying there was something on it.

Are there mice, snakes, etc. that the silkworm will be afraid of and warn him?

As soon as this idea appeared, it kept lingering in his mind and couldn't get rid of it.

So Zhao Chuang picked up the oil lamp and came to the silkworm box where the big silkworm was.

He raised his hand and looked at the roof, only to find that there was nothing on it except some floating silk.

He was still worried, so he picked up the wooden ladder outside the house, put it on the beam, and climbed up.

Because of the big silkworms, there was a lot of silk scattered in the room. When Zhao Chuang climbed up the ladder, he felt like he was seeing mist from the clouds.

Finally, he lay down on the top of the ladder and looked carefully. There was indeed nothing on the beams and the roof.

The beams were covered with a layer of fine dust, and there were no traces of rats or snakes crawling over them.

Just as he was about to come down, he noticed an eye-catching cluster of silk on the beam.

It is a little thicker than the silk hanging in other places, and it is just like the direction the big silkworm was facing when it raised its head.

Zhao Chuang adjusted his body shape and leaned over.

The light from the oil lamp made the room sway from side to side, stretching the shadows nearby.

At this moment, Zhao Chuang narrowed his eyes slightly because he found that there seemed to be a line of words mixed in the bunch of silk.

He pushed the silk aside a little, squinted his eyes to see, and murmured: "It's Xiaoyun, help..."

The next moment, Zhao Chuang felt a chill on his back and goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but shiver and almost dropped the oil lamp in his hand.

Because he saw this line clearly.

A line of characters glued together with silk.

"I'm Xiaoyun, help me."

Zhao Chuang came down from the ladder and was so frightened.

For a moment, the branches and leaves of the mulberry tree outside the house were swaying in the wind, almost like evil spirits coming to arrest people.

I am Xiaoyun, please save me.

Who is Xiaoyun? Could it be...

Zhao Chuang couldn't help but look at the big silkworm covered with white cloth, and felt that this idea was too ridiculous.

How could it be possible? He was living a good life. The real Xiaoyun was in Qingping County.

At this time, the big silkworm under the white cloth seemed to sense his gaze and began to squirm.

Looking at the trembling white cloth, Zhao Chuang was filled with fear for a moment.

With trembling hands, he opened the white cloth and suddenly found the big silkworm looking at him.
