Zhao Renjie felt that there was something wrong with this daughter-in-law, and in order to find out the situation, he offered to go together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The woman hesitated, and Zhao Renjie had no choice but to retreat.

"Since the eldest sister is inconvenient, then forget it, apprentice, it's not early, let's go!" Zhao Renjie said, packed up the stall and prepared to leave.

"Don't worry, old man, I'll discuss it with my daughter-in-law when I go back and invite you." The woman said.

When Zhao Renjie heard this, he was worried about losing a good opportunity to investigate the case, so he hurriedly said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, if you are willing, you can go; If it's difficult, then there's no need, but the eldest sister's illness can't be delayed. ”

When the woman heard this, she was anxious and begged, "Old man, don't go another day, go today." "Let's lead the way.

Zhao Renjie followed the woman to a shop, looked up, and it read: Xingfa time-honored silk shop. The shop is not large, just three low cabins, the main entrance is closed, and the windows around it are also plastered with window paper, so you can't see the layout inside.

"Big sister, this is your home? Looks pretty good. Your man used to be in the silk business? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Not bad! My man's family has run this shop for three generations, and although he is not rich, he is also free of food and clothing. After my man's death, I took care of the shop and passed it on to my son a few years ago. After the death of my son, I had no intention of setting up this shop, and the goods were sold at a reduced price. Now, the store is just an empty shelf. The woman said.

"What's your man's name? Did you see his body after he died? Zhao Renjie asked.

"My man's name is Liu Yaowen, I heard that he was swept away by the flood, but I have never seen his body." The woman said.

Zhao Renjie heard this, and thought in his heart: "If you don't see the corpse, how can you prove that he is dead?" Maybe he's still alive, but he's just losing his memory. His surname is Liu, is there anything to do with Liu Wu? I'll ask her again. ”

"Big sister, who told you about your man's death? Do you know this person? Zhao Renjie asked.

"I know this person, his name is Liu Yaowu, and he and my man are from our family. Ten years ago, the two of them went out to do business together, and he was the one who told me the news. The woman said.

"Liu Yaowu? Could it be Liu Wu? How can it be so coincidental? When he was in Yamen, the master said that Liu Wu was from Qingshui Town, was this person? Zhao Renjie was puzzled.

"Big sister, is Liu Yaowu pockmarked? He's a swordsman? Zhao Renjie said tentatively.

"Really? Liu Yaowu is a swordsman with some skills, and he and my husband are cousins. My husband went out to do business, and Liu Yaowu was his bodyguard, and the two of them often drank and chatted together, and the relationship was very good. How did the old gentleman know him? Madame asked, stunned.

"The old man has a relationship with him, and this time I came to Qingshui Town to find him, and I asked around, but to no avail." Zhao Renjie said.

"Liu Yaowu hasn't been back for a few years, of course the old gentleman can't find him, maybe something happened to him." The woman said.

"Big sister, has anyone come to you to inquire about Liu Yaowu?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"There is a Xiucai, a young man in his twenties, who came to my door and asked me about a swordsman, not him or Liu Yaowu." The woman said.

"Is his surname Wu? Ask you about a swordsman named Ouyang Jiashen? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Really? What a clever sir. The woman was even more astonished.

"What's the name of this guy surnamed Wu? Why did you come to your house to inquire? Zhao Renjie asked.

"His name is Wu Huan, a friend of mine my son met when he was running a business outside, he came to my house a few days ago and was kicked out by my daughter-in-law." The woman said.

"Did Wu Huan come to your house often?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Sir, you are a doctor, you only care about the doctor, how can you ask about these things?" The woman looked at Zhao Renjie suspiciously.

Zhao Renjie knew that the woman also had some unspeakable secrets, and asking too many questions would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was just curious just now." As a Lang Zhong who walks the rivers and lakes, it is habitual to 'look, hear, ask, and cut', I think the root of your daughter-in-law's illness may be related to this Wu Huan. ”

The woman didn't say anything, but went and knocked at the door. After knocking for a while, there was no response in the house.

"Dongmei, open the door, I'm your mother." The woman shouted.

There was still no movement in the house.

"Little girl, open the door, I'm grandma." The woman shouted.

There was still no movement in the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Renjie wondered in his heart.

"Big sister, don't knock on the door, maybe their mother and daughter are not at home." Zhao Renjie said.

"If you are not at home, you should lock the door, this door is inserted from the inside with a latch, and it should be at home." The woman muttered to herself.

"Did you see the two of us coming, and deliberately didn't open the door?" Ying'er said.

"It's possible. Big sister, since your daughter-in-law refuses to open the door, then we will leave. Zhao Renjie said and turned around and left.

"Sir, wait, my daughter-in-law has been living in the back room, wait for me to go in and have a look." Then the woman knocked at the door.

After a while, the door opened, and a little girl of four or five years old poked her head out, and when she saw the woman, she was very happy, and pulled her sleeve and babbled.

"Little girl, is your mother in there?" The woman asked.

The little girl nodded, raised her eyes and saw Zhao Renjie and Ying'er, she was very scared, and hid behind the woman and didn't dare to show her head.

"Big sister, this child is your granddaughter! Why didn't she speak? Is it a mute? Zhao Renjie was stunned.

"Alas, the house leak was rained overnight. The child was still alive and kicking in the first few months of last year, but since the day her father died, the child couldn't speak, and I don't know why? The woman sighed.

When Zhao Renjie heard this, he felt even more strange: "Since this child is not born dumb, why did he suddenly become mute?" Could it be that she had a serious illness? But the woman did not say that she was sick, but that it was a coincidence that her father had become like this on the day he died. No way! There must be a reason for this. ”

"Sir, you wait, I'll go inside to see my daughter-in-law." The lady said and pushed the door in.

For a moment, I only listened to the scolding inside: "Old immortal, how many times have I told you, don't bring people back, but it's good for you to bring an old man back, you don't want to lose face, I still want face, drive them away, otherwise, I'm not done with you!" ”

The woman walked out with a disgraced face and tears in her eyes.

Zhao Renjie listened outside, and his heart was not a taste, since he came, he had to find out.

"How can a daughter-in-law scold her mother-in-law like this, it's so unusual! Big sister, don't be sad, wait for me to talk to her. Zhao Renjie shouted: "The daughter-in-law inside, come out, I want to ask for an explanation today." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young woman come out of it.

Zhao Renjie took a closer look, but saw that the young woman was dressed in plain clothes, and a pair of danfeng eyes showed light, which was ecstatic. The snow-white goose egg face, the cheeks are pink, the lips are like Tudan, and the eyebrows are like willow leaves newly cut green. That figure is graceful and graceful, just like a natural stunner.

When the young woman saw Zhao Renjie, she didn't take a second look, but she was quite interested in the medicine boy Ying'er beside her.

"The old immortal is quite capable, and he brought two men at once." The young woman looked at the woman aggressively and laughed.

"You woman is too unreasonable, our master and apprentice didn't come to your house to play in the mountains and rivers, but to treat your mother-in-law, if you are not happy, we will leave, why insult people?" Zhao Renjie asked rhetorically.

When the young woman heard this, she kept silent, and went into the house angrily, closed the door, and scolded: "Old slut, you wait, one day you will regret it." ”

The woman's eyes rubbed with tears, and Zhao Renjie comforted: "Big sister, don't be sad, it's important to take care of your body." Where is the medicine jar, I will teach you how to decoction the medicine. ”

The woman wiped away her tears, found a medicine jar, poured a packet of Chinese medicine into the medicine jar, added appropriate water, and simmered the medicine. Every procedure of Zhao Renjie was remembered by the woman.

"Big sister, how did your daughter-in-law treat you before?" When decocting the medicine, Xu Wenbin asked casually.

"When my son was alive, my daughter-in-law was very filial to me and spoke kindly, and since my son's death, her temperament has changed greatly." The woman said.

"Oh—I see." Zhao Renjie seems to have understood.

"Is that Wu Huan your relative? Did your daughter-in-law know him before? Zhao Renjie asked suddenly.

"My daughter-in-law's surname is Wu, I heard her say that Wu Huan is his mother's brother, I don't know if it's true or not?" The woman said.

"Your granddaughter is so cute, it's a pity that she can't speak, big girl, how can this child become dumb when she is so good? Isn't it frightened? Zhao Renjie asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's because she's scared when she sees her dad die." The woman said.

"There may be a problem here, why didn't you report it to the official?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"What kind of official is there to report without evidence? Who am I suing? What do I know as a woman? Knowing that he died unjustly, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Alas - it's all fate! The old woman sighed.

Everything that should be asked has been asked, and the medicine has been decocted, Zhao Renjie has targeted Wu Huan, what to do next, he has already paid attention.
