Chapter 202: Chapter 202: What Could Be Strange? Chapter 202: Chapter 202: What Could Be Strange? “So, it’s very likely that someone did this deliberately,” Lin Caisang said.
Having heard such a coincidence, she naturally couldn’t believe it was purely a coincidence. There must be some connection.
But where this connection lies, they didn’t know yet, and even if they reported it to the authorities, without evidence the case would likely be left unresolved.
Hearing this, the man in black turned his head to look at his own master, then nodded at Lin Caisang.
“Perhaps, it’s possible.”
But could that household really have that level of power? To cause such a drastic weather change just to oppose all the silkworm farmers in Wang Town, would they not have become demons?
That was, of course, impossible.
“I walked around briefly earlier and found that all the silkworm rooms have straw nets. When were these put in here? Is there one in every room?” Lin Caisang asked again.
“Oh, straw nets are essential for raising silkworms.”
The man in black looked at the straw net within his sight, which was still new.
“Originally, when the first batch of silkworms turned yellow, you just had to put them onto this net. Then, they would turn into cocoons. But as soon as we brought this net back, the silkworms froze to death. So this straw net has not been moved and remains in the corner.
Of course, every silkworm room needs it, so naturally, every room has one.”
“Did you make this yourselves?” Lin Caisang asked.
The man in black shook his head.
“Bought?” Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows.
The man in black nodded.
“There is a family outside Wang Town that specializes in making straw nets. They have gradually centralized the service.. Every silkworm farmer in the town gets their straw nets from them. Despite the small profit, it is a means of livelihood. Silkworm farmers always buy a batch before the cocooning of the silkworms.”
“Did all the silkworm farmers in Wang Town go and buy straw nets at the same time?” Lin Caisang asked.
For those doing business, it’s impossible that all customers would come buy on the same day, right? Otherwise, it would be too coincidental.
“More or less. The silkworm raising process is batched and the cocooning periods are within certain days. So naturally, there wouldn’t be much difference in when people go to buy straw nets.”
The man in black answered.
“Are you suggesting that the unusual cold in the silkworm rooms has something to do with these straw nets?”
Could it be possible that their silkworms froze to death because of these nets? Could a few bundles of straw nets have such a huge impact?
However, he suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale.
“Ah, Master, I remember that household I mentioned had a disagreement with the family selling straw nets. As a result, their own nets, as well as those they supplied, were all self-made!”
According to this, that means the young lady’s speculation is correct.
The reason why their silkworms froze to death was because they bought these straw nets!
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows at Ya Molian and clapped her hands, “See, we’ve found the cause.”
“What could be strange about these straw nets.”
Ya Molian looked at the straw nets with a calm expression.
Although he agreed with Lin Caisang’s conclusion, he couldn’t figure out what could be strange about a few straw nets, or how they could freeze so many silkworms to death?
Moreover, this was not a recent event – the chilling temperature had persisted until now.
