Chapter 35: Murder
On the ninth day, she chatted with Yu Dashu about some trivial things that happened after she entered the city, and as the sun was cheap, she raised her head and looked at the current sky, knowing that the time was not early, and she was a little worried that Mrs. had gone to the study, so she said to Yu Dashu with some shame: "Dad, today is not my day off, I have to go back to do things."

Yu Dashu also understood her difficulties in being a maid in someone else's house now, but urged Jiuri to say: "Well, then you go back to do things, Dad took Xiaonan to see you, just know how you are, go back quickly!" ”
"Hmm." Jiu Ri said and took out a purse from his arms, handed it to Yu Dashu and said, "Dad, this is part of the salary I gave after signing the contract, you can take this money back first." When I have saved enough, I will let Xiao Nan go to study and read. ”
Yu Dashu saw that he took out his purse on the ninth day and knew that it must have some money in it, thinking that it was not easy for his daughter to make money, he didn't plan to take it. But when I heard that Jiuri said that it was for Yu Xiaonan to go to school, I hesitated for a while before deciding to take it.
"Little flower~ You've grown up!" Yu Dashu really didn't know what to say, he felt sorry for his daughter and blamed himself for not being able enough, so he finally held back such a sentence.
The smile on Jiuri's lips was a little bigger, and he looked a little silly. She showed her eight teeth at this time, and said with a smile to Yu Dashu: "What are you talking about, Dad~ We are a family!" Okay, I've got to go. Take care of yourselves! ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the pen felling quickly. And Yu Dashu looked at Jiuri's back and muttered, "Hey! You too, be careful not to worry about your mother and me. ”
Yu Xiaonan on the side also looked a little lonely, just waving his little hand vigorously behind Jiuri's back. And Yu Dashu sighed when he saw it, and then picked up Yu Xiaonan and said, "Xiaonan, we should go back too, otherwise we will have to walk at night when it's late, which is very dangerous." ”
"Yes, Dad." Yu Xiaonan buried his head on Yu Dashu's shoulder and said in a muffled voice.
When the sun was about to set, Yu Dashu finally took Yu Xiaonan back to Yu Village, and the two fathers and sons went home along the village road and walked all the way home. But when he walked to the door of the house, Yu Dashu didn't see Feng Lan's figure, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he felt that something bad seemed to have happened.
As soon as Yu Dashu walked into the house, he called Feng Lan's name, but there was no one in the house, he went to the kitchen first and then to the backyard, and looked for it room by room, but there was no trace of Feng Lan anywhere.
"Dad, isn't my mother at home?" Yu Xiaonan saw that Yu Dashu called Feng Lan's name at home, and asked with some curiosity.
"Hmm." Yu Dashu didn't tell Yu Xiaonan about his suspicions, he first put the purse he gave on the ninth day into the room where he and Feng Lan lived, and then turned around and said to Yu Xiaonan: "Maybe it's out, let's wait for her to come back!" ”
"Well, I'll wait for my mother to come back!" Yu Xiaonan volunteered, and after speaking, he moved a small bench and sat at the door and waited.
But this wait waited until the time came, and at this time, Yu Dashu also decided that something was happening to Feng Lan. You must know that in the past, Feng Lan would definitely not go home so late, and even if there was really something, she would ask someone to bring a message back.
And tonight everything seems wrong, Yu Dashu checked the things at home, and even the money shows that Feng Lan is not buying and selling things and going out. Then if Feng Lan went out on other urgent matters, then why didn't he even leave a message.
The more Yu Dashu thought about it, the worse it became, and in the end he just left Yu Xiaonan alone at home and rushed to the village chief's house overnight.
The next morning, Yu Xiaonan opened his eyes in a daze in the morning light, and when he got up from the table, the house was still quiet.
Not long after Xiao Nan got up, there was a sound of knocking on the door, and his face was happy, thinking that it was Yu Dashu and they were back, so he casually wore a double croaking board and ran out. When I opened the door, I found that it was the old village chief of the village standing outside the door, and the village chief was standing out of breath at this time, looking very hurried.
The village chief seemed to say something to Yu Xiaonan, but the sound of 'drinking' came out several times. Xiao Nan saw that the village chief was very uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to help the old village chief into the house and poured him a glass of water first.
After the village chief drank water and relieved himself, he said to Yu Xiaonan with an uneasy face: "Xiaonan, your father~"
Yu Xiaonan saw that the village chief's expression was strange, and he said his father Yu Dashu, so he took the initiative to ask, "Village chief, what's wrong with my father?" ”
The village chief stared at Yu Xiaonan and looked at it carefully, and saw that the child was young and was afraid that he would not be able to bear it after listening to his words. But Yu Dashu's family had no other adults for a while, so he only sighed and said the matter: "Hey~ Your father was caught by the servants early this morning and taken to the yamen." ”
"Why? Why was Dad arrested? Didn't Dad go to find his mother? Yu Xiaonan didn't understand why the servant caught his father Yu Dashu, and asked the village chief repeatedly.
"This~ I heard those servants say, your father~ He seems to have killed someone." The village chief hesitated, but still told Yu Xiaonan the truth.
Yu Xiaonan froze in place after hearing the word murder, his expression was a little dazed, even if he was not old, he knew what the crime of murder was, and suddenly he shouted violently: "My father won't kill people!" ”
Yu Xiaonan ran to the village chief, pulled the village chief's hand, shook his hand and said, "Village chief~ You have to believe me!" Really, my father would never kill anyone, they must have caught the wrong person! ”
"Did you catch the wrong one~ I don't know. However, this matter is not a small matter, and it is the honor and disgrace of the entire Yu Village, and we must find out. So be it! Xiao Nan, you will go to the yamen with me in the afternoon, and when you ask clearly, you will know what is going on. The village chief said cautiously to Yu Xiaonan.
"Okay, village chief." Yu Xiaonan knew that the situation was serious, and he didn't dare to play tricks, so he replied obediently.
"That's right, village chief. My sister Yu Xiaohua is working as a maid in the city, do you want to tell her about this, maybe my sister has some way! Yu Xiaonan thought of Jiuri in the city, and now there is no adult in the family, so he subconsciously relies on his only sister, and thinks that Jiuri will always have a way to solve this matter.
The village chief thought about it and thought that since Yu Xiaohua was Yu Dashu's daughter, he should also know about it, so he said to Yu Xiaonan: "Well, in this afternoon, I will go to the yamen to ask about the situation first, and then go to Xiaohua." ”
Yu Xiaonan was about to show a smile, but immediately thought that his father Yu Dashu couldn't smile after he was arrested for murder. His expression was a little depressed, and he suddenly thought of his mother, Feng Lan, and asked the village chief, "Village chief, do you know where my mother is?" ”
"I don't know~ Your father also came to me yesterday because of this. I thought it was those kidnappers again, so I called the villagers to go up the mountain with your father overnight to look for them, but I didn't find your mother after looking for a night. The village chief touched the top of Yu Xiaonan's head and said, suddenly feeling some sympathy for this child in his heart.
