Chapter 31: Behind the Truth

Shen Xiqiao took a pen and paper and sat next to Lin Xianniang, writing a paper for Lin Qianniang.

Lin Niangniang drank the water, and her body was still a little shaky. Li Mingcian took a cushion from Shenxi Bridge and put it behind her and let her lean against the wall.

"I'm Lin Anfu's last daughter.

The day before yesterday, my mother took me, my sister and my sister-in-law Lin Changqing, the third aunt, and the five of them walked home from my grandmother's house. On the way, I passed by a village in my house, and my mother took us over for lunch.

In the afternoon, my brother and I were playing at Zhuangzi's, and when I saw that the mountains and rivers around there were very good, I begged my mother to stay for another night. My mother was about to check the accounts in the Zhuangzi, so she answered me.

Yesterday during the day, my mother called all the stewards of the nearby Zhuangzi to check the accounts and look at the crops in the field. My brother and aunt and I played together.

The third aunt is my cousin, and we have always had a strong relationship. When the gangsters committed the murder last night, she was the one who desperately protected me and let me escape with my life. But she ...... But she ......"

Lin Xianniang said as she spoke, her eyes were red again. She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes: "She was ruined by the gangsters in front of me." ”

Li Mingcian was a little shocked when she heard the "turn to spoil", that woman would definitely not survive.

"My mother has always felt that Zhuangzi is boring, and we brought very few nursing homes when we went out this time. Those gangsters, in order to covet my family's money, harmed my mother's life.

My sister and my mother were trapped in the fire, and my brother was hacked to death with a knife by them......"

Lin Niangniang said that she couldn't stand it anymore, raised her hand to cover her face and began to cry: "You all blame me! If I didn't have to go to the village to play and spend the night there, my mother and they wouldn't have been killed by gangsters......

Shen Xiqiao was also very moved when he heard the tragic situation. He quickly wrote the paper, and then asked Wang to boil water for Lin to wash.

"I'm tired of my aunt. Shen Xiqiao said to Wang.

"It's okay, it's okay. Wang waved his hand, "I see that this Miss Lin hasn't eaten for a long time, so why don't you make some porridge for her." ”

Shen Xiqiao thanked him. Then he went back to the house to help Li Mingcian and the second girl appease Lin Niangniang.

Li Cunfu is a big man and can't play a role, so he followed the Wang family to the kitchen.

Wang was busy boiling water, and Li Cunfu was standing on the side.

"the child, what the young lady said about her family sounds weird. "Li Cunfu is a farmer, and he has never heard of so many deaths. At first glance, I felt that my three views were a little refreshed.

Wang sighed when he heard this: "Who said it wasn't." How ruthless is that person, he did something bad for fear of being discovered, so he simply harmed people. ”

"Burned alive ......"

Both husband and wife feel that the life of a rich man is really insecure.

Banyue borrowed an ox cart, and Li Zheng followed him to Li Cunfu's house.

Shen Xiqiao handed the paper to Banyue and told him to go to the county government overnight to report to the official.

Li Zheng saw that it was getting dark, and felt a little unsafe, so he proposed: "Little boy, it's getting late, why don't I call a few young adults to go back with Half Moon." ”

Shen Xiqiao felt that it was feasible, so he agreed. Rizheng hurried to arrange it again.

Li Mingcian saw that the group was about to leave, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was going on. She ran back to the house, lit some of her own explosives, and selected a few letters, which were relatively long, and handed them to Shen Xiqiao.

"I felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. You let Banyue take this with you, and if you encounter any danger, you can save the emergency. ”

Shen Xiqiao answered, and then quietly pulled Banyue into a corner, stuffed the explosives in his hand to him, and told him how to use it.

Half Moon held gunpowder and flint, and her eyes were shining.

"Childe, isn't this the strange stone that the eldest prince you found said about the dragon king's apparition?"

Looking at Banyue's somewhat excited appearance, Shen Xiqiao felt that it was not good for Banyue's brain to be flexible.

"Pretty much. But don't talk too much when you go back, this thing doesn't need to be used just right, and don't say much when it is used. I haven't found a master to do this yet, and if I say it now, I'm afraid I'll invite trouble. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, don't you know my half-moon mouth? ”

Shen Xiqiao patted him on the back: "Pay attention to safety, if you really encounter danger, save your life." ”

Banyue was a little confused when she heard his words: "Look at what you said, isn't it just to send a paper to the county government, what danger can there be." ”

Shen Xiqiao felt that he might have been infected by the atmosphere created by Li Mingciao, and he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Anyway, you're going to be back tomorrow, so of course you're on the safe side. ”

"Childe, don't worry. ”

Half Moon patted her chest and made a guarantee, and then went on the road with two young men carrying torches.

Everyone hadn't eaten dinner yet, and when Lin Niangniang finished eating and washed up, the family sat down to eat.

Shen Xiqiao also had dinner with them. Because Half Moon and Grandma Wang are not there.

Shen Xiqiao has always been silent, so there was silence on the table for a while.

Li Mingcian saw Shen Xiqiao eating next to him, and the weirdness in his heart suddenly became clear.

Grandma Wang and Banyue are not there, isn't it that Shen Xiqiao slept alone this night? Then there was a sister Lin at home. How do you think about it, how do you feel a little wrong.

Li Mingcian leaned over slightly and leaned down to Shen Xiqiao's ear: "I'll go to your house and help you install something later." You take the bucket into the house, and don't go out in the middle of the night, until I call you in the morning. ”

Shen Xiqiao felt a little puzzled, so he asked her back, "What are you going to do?"

"Granny Wang and Banyue are not here, I think it may not be safe for you to sleep in that room by yourself. I'm going to set you up with a trap. ”

Seeing that Li Mingcian said with a serious face that he wanted to arrange the mechanism, Shen Xiqiao laughed.

Li Mingcian looked at him like that and knew that he didn't go to his heart, so he reached out angrily and twisted his thigh: "I'm serious." ”

Shen Xiqiao hissed in pain, raised his eyes and looked, yo, Wang and Li Cunfu were staring at him.

Li Mingcian also found out, and he no longer bites his ears with Shen Xiqiao.

After eating, after Shenxi Bridge was washed, Li Mingcian watched him place the Gong bucket, and after everything was in place, he dug a hole at the door close to the threshold and buried a few small mines.

Shen Xiqiao watched her toss and felt very novel.

"Can the little cicada be used like this?" asked Shen Xiqiao.

"Hmm. Li Ming planted the mine without raising his head, and then prepared to close the door.

Shen Xiqiao saw that she was going to lock the door and remembered her soap.

"Mingcida, your soap sells very well, and I use it well at home. So I sent craftsmen to start doing a lot of it. ”

Li Mingcian was very happy to hear him say this, but he was a little surprised.

"How do you know that you don't leave the village?"

Shen Xiqiao touched his head: "There was a letter from the full moon before, and then I sent the nurse back to help take care of it." ”

"Oh. Li Mingcian closed the door in response, and then pinned a grenade on it.

The grenade's letter was right at the door. When you open the door and pull it, it will be pulled and it will explode. This is to prevent the occurrence of landmines from being crossed.

The power of the grenade is too small, at most it is scary, and it does not hurt at all.

Miss Lin rested on the side of Grandma Wang, and Li Mingcian was covered in grass and soil during the day, and took a bath in his own big wooden basin at night.

In the summer, it is especially convenient to take a bath.

It should be very hot in a few days, because it will be the height of summer soon.

After packing up, he went to sleep on the kang, and Li Mingcian thought that he had taken protective measures for Shenxi Bridge, so he fell asleep with peace of mind.

However, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a series of explosions.

"Bang, boom, bang!" A series of voices woke up a villager.

Everyone put on their clothes and followed the sound to Li Mingciao's house.

And Li Mingchan's family gathered together to look at the man lying on the ground and rolling. He's blown up a little bit.

Li Mingcian was afraid that Shenxi Bridge was going out, so he hurried to clear mines. When she pulled the dirt, she found that all the explosives had exploded. No wonder the houses are so broken.

Shen Xiqiao was still a little frightened at this time, and Li Mingcian stood at the door and shouted to him: "Come out!"

Shen Xiqiao calmly walked out as he said.

Shen Xiqiao looked at the man on the ground and was a little angry, and then looked at the bright long knife on the ground, and he understood what was going on.

He was very grateful for the trap that Li Mingcian had set for himself. It was those little cicadas that saved his life.

None of the group dared to touch the painful man on the ground, because the man had blown up so badly that it looked like he was going to die if he touched it.

Shen Xiqiao touched Li Mingciao's head soothingly, and then looked at the villain on the ground straight.

"Who sent you?"

Shen Xiqiao's voice sounded very calm, but there was also some coercion. Li Mingcian looked at him like that, and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

The man gasped for breath on the ground, unable to speak in pain.

Li Mingcian was frightened when she saw Erya, and she reached out to cover Erya's eyes. Wang and Li Cunfu were also frightened, they were bloody people, they were the first time they had met. When I saw it, I was scared.

Shen Xiqiao calmly interrogated the man, coerced and enticed, but the man just didn't speak. Shen Xiqiao sighed: "Forget it, since you're like this, I won't ask you, and I'll give you some ingredients to taste." ”

Shen Xiqiao stepped into the kitchen with his long legs, took out a handful of salt, and then reached out and sprinkled it on the wound on the man's body.

The man let out a "wail" in pain, and then said something in a word that the people present did not understand.

Shen Xiqiao's face changed greatly when he heard that, this was clearly ......

Lin Xianniang did not appear from beginning to end, and when the villagers rushed to Li Mingciao's house, Shen Xiqiao picked up the long knife on the ground.

The corner of the courtyard had been blown to pieces, and some people walked over as the villagers banged on the door.

Shen Xiqiao watched the man on the ground raise and fall with a knife in his hand, killing him who was struggling on the edge of life and death.

Both Wang and Li Cunfu were so frightened that they let out a "ho", and then took a few steps back.

Li Mingcian put down the hand holding Erya, pulled her behind Shenxi Bridge, and then told her not to look at the people on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to pull Shenxi Bridge.

Shen Xiqiao's hands trembled a little, and it could be seen that he was very scared.

Li Mingcian tightened his hand, and patted his back with the other hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
