He Peng knew that Lao Su was hinting to him, don't say what he shouldn't say, Lao Su had already reminded him on the way to just look at it and not say it.

But He Peng couldn't do it, and said: "That's the case, it was the middle of the night, I just found something strange, and then I didn't alarm my uncle when I was normal." ”

Everyone couldn't help urging: "You should say it quickly, what strange things have you discovered?"

He Peng said: "Last night I lived at Uncle Su's house, it was a hut, because I remembered some old things I couldn't sleep, so I kept lying down, in the middle of the night, I suddenly found that it was very quiet outside. It was so quiet that it was as if I was the only one in the world. ”

Someone laughed and scolded: "Boy, are you stupid, isn't it quiet in the middle of the night, you are alone in the house, isn't it just you, you still think that the girl of the Su family can secretly drill your bed?"

This drew some ridicule, but he soon remembered that the old village chief had just died, and it was really inappropriate to keep his mouth shut.

Old Man Su said: "What's so strange about this, okay, I'll move on to the next question." ”

"Slow!" Li Qi's father interrupted Old Man Su.

"Mr. He Peng is also a very accomplished young man, he thinks it is strange, there must be something strange, we might as well let him finish it. ”

He Peng knew that the old man was hacking, but he had to talk about it.

"Yes, at first I was just flustered, and I didn't think it was wrong, but I found that there was no sound outside the house, and I felt the wind blowing through the window while lying on the window, but I couldn't hear the leaves, and I couldn't even hear the insects everywhere, which was very strange. ”

Everyone is an old man in a fishing village, living in this ancestral village for generations, when there will be any sound is clear, summer is the happiest time for insects to call, and those insects, everywhere, hiding in the crack of the wall Liz Razla's call to take them has no way at all, over time I got used to listening to it but I don't feel it, listening to He Peng, I also feel that He Peng said things are very strange.

He Peng said again: "So I got up to check, walked to the yard, and suddenly, all the sounds came back, I thought it might be that I was temporarily deaf before, so I didn't take it seriously and went back to sleep, but now I think about it is an unusual thing, I hope to say it will help find the real culprit." ”

Old Man Su nodded and said, "Well, I wrote down what you said, but it's useless, I'll ask a second question." ”

"Slow!" Richie's father interrupted him again.

"I think there is something wrong with He Peng's words. ”

"Oh, what's the problem?" He Peng had to answer.

"You said you went into the yard?"

"yes. ”

"Did you hear a voice, did you see anything?"

He Peng said strangely: "No, it's dark outside, and there is not even a moon, what can you see?"

"Nonsense! Someone will arrest him!"

Hula rushed over a number of people, and reached out to grab He Peng. He Peng didn't give it for nothing, he drilled around among several people, they couldn't catch it, and their own people collided together.

"Stop!" Old Man Su snorted, "Get out of the way, didn't you see Lao Tzu investigating the case?"

Li Qi's father smiled and said, "Lao Su, I don't think there is any need to check, the murderer is He Peng." ”

"What is the evidence for empty words?" Lao Su's face was grim.

"Old Su, we are all old people in the fishing village, can't you hear what the problem was in He Peng's words just now?"

"It's just a child's sleepwalking. ”

Xiaodouzi's grandfather checked and said: "Xiao He, I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that what you just said is really too wrong, you said that it is possible not to hear the insects, and the insects also have a time to rest, but you say that there is wind but the leaves do not sound, this is impossible, how can there be a reason that the wind blows the leaves and does not sound?"

And I like to listen to the sound of the leaves, I can't sleep well without that sound, last night it was because of the wind, the leaves rattled I had a good night's sleep, and I got up early in the morning to be the first to find the old village chief.

Besides, you said that the one who was dark yesterday couldn't see anything, and this is even more impossible, now according to the lunar calendar, it is the middle of the month, last night there was wind and no clouds in the sky, it was the time when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, how do you say that it was dark outside?"

The old man was right, the wind blows the leaves, the leaves will ring, now according to the solar calendar is the beginning of July, but the lunar calendar is the middle of May, the middle of the lunar month is the time of the full moon, He Peng did not see the moon, if there is no moon in this season, then it must be full of stars, but there are not even a few stars in the sky!

Lao Tzu has been tricked!

Li Qi interjected: "Oh, I understand when I hear my uncle, which sentence of what you said is true, He Peng, why do you want to lie to us?"

He Peng was speechless, what should he say? What can he say? Say that he was framed? So who is the person who framed you, why did he harm you, and in what way did he harm you? He Peng could not explain a word.

Su Jing was also anxious, and gave Lao Su a look.

Lao Su said: "He Peng, do you sleepwalk?"

Su Jing was overjoyed, quietly pulled He Peng's arm, and let He Peng take advantage of the situation, and said that he had a problem with sleepwalking and first revealed the matter, but He Peng said: "Uncle, my physical condition is very good, I have never had sleepwalking, and I know how to heal myself to conclude that there is no sleepwalking." ”

Lao Su's face sank, today he had violated his principles many times to help He Peng get rid of suspicion, but He Peng didn't know how to bump up, if it weren't for Su Jing, he would ...... Lao Su thought about it and said secretly, just for the sake of his sister and He Yisheng's face, I will help him again.

"He Peng. ”

"In!"

"The death of the village chief is a major event in my fishing village, don't talk nonsense to attract attention, this will not do you any good if you marry Su Jing, whether you can marry the daughter of my Su family depends on whether you have the ability to win the competition!"

Lao Su's words were a reprimand from the elders to the juniors, He Peng didn't dare to refute, so he immediately agreed, shut up and stopped talking.

However, Lao Su's words also attributed He Peng's erroneous words to the behavior of preparing for marrying Su Jing in order to win the favor of the villagers. Although it is far-fetched, people still have a trace of doubt in their hearts, but it is inconvenient to raise it again at this time, but the mustard in their hearts is saved.

Li Qi and his son looked at each other and did not speak again.

Old Man Su continued to ask: "The old village chief was poisoned to death, let me ask you, who ate with the old village chief last night." ”

The village chief has no father and no children, middle-aged widowed wife, is an old bachelor, and usually likes to drink and chat with his brother, so there are a few drinking friends.

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to them.

But they all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

One of them said: "After the competition yesterday, I asked the village chief to come to my house to drink two cups, but the old village chief mysteriously couldn't come alive, saying that there was something to deal with and reunite another day, but I didn't expect it...... Hey!"

Old Man Su asked again: "So does it mean that no one saw the village chief eating, or eating with anyone?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Old Man Su continued to ask, "Then who has seen him after the competition?"

"I, I!" Little Beanzi suddenly jumped high with her hands raised in the crowd outside.

"Little bean, you say!"

"Uncle Su, yesterday I wanted to intercede with the village chief and ask him to help marry Sister Xiaojing to Brother He Peng, so I brought two cucumbers to give gifts to the village chief!"

When Grandpa Xiaodouzi heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't figure it out, "Hu, nonsense! Giving gifts to help others marry their daughters-in-law, are you stupid?"

Xiaodouzi said: "You guys are stupid, Sister Xiaojing is my sister, more than ten years older than me, how can you be a wife, she treats me as a younger brother, Brother He Peng let me go to school There are many little beauties, and I will marry them when I grow up!"

Grandpa Xiaodouzi blew his beard and stared at him.

Old Man Su blocked it and said, "Don't talk about the mess of Xiaodouzi, tell me how you met the village chief." ”

"Well, Uncle Su, I arrived at the village chief's house at eight o'clock, and the door of the village chief's house was locked from the inside, and I couldn't get in, because it was a gift, I didn't dare to knock on the door, so I got into the dog hole on the side where the rhubarb came in and out.

Rhubarb was scared at the time, and I was in the corner of the wall, and someone was talking in the room. ”

Xiao Douzi didn't say anything about this, and looked into the crowd.

Old Man Su said: "Look at what, continue to say, no one dares to do anything to you with me." ”

Xiaodouzi snorted twice in embarrassment, and said, "I heard someone talking inside, and I felt that I was a gift, and I was embarrassed to see someone, so I got out of the dog hole again." ”

"And then?" asked Richie.

"I didn't come back, and then I went home. ”

Old Man Su asked: "Since you hear someone talking, then you must be able to hear who is talking to the village chief! ”

Xiaodouzi looked left and right in embarrassment: "Uncle, I, I didn't hear who it was, I really didn't hear clearly." ”

His grandfather said, "You bastard boy usually can hear every wall clearly, but why can't you hear clearly this time? Well, you can always hear what they say." ”

Xiaodouzi nodded aggrievedly.

"Say!" said his grandfather.

At that time, the village chief's uncle was very angry, he said that the person was irresponsible and could not give up halfway. ”

The man said that he had someone he liked, and he didn't want to marry Sister Xiaojing, and he didn't want to embarrass his friends, so he asked the village chief to let him withdraw from the competition. ”

As soon as Xiaodouzi said this, everyone knew that that person must be one of the three of He Peng, Li Qi and He Dazhu. And He Peng and Li Qi are obviously competing for Su Jing, only He Dazhu is just a foil in it, or Li Qi's assistant.

"Yes, that person is me!" He Dazhu stepped forward and walked out of the crowd.

Xiaodouzi waved his hands again and again, and said, "Big pillar, it's not what I said, we are friends, and I won't betray my friends." ”

He Dazhu smiled bitterly: "Little Bean, this matter has nothing to do with you, I admit it myself." ”
