In the early morning, when the twilight is everywhere, the fields, rivers, bushes, and houses appear in the cold and clear atmosphere of pale blue; The bird began to chirp unhurriedly; The sounds of the people who get up early to work merge into a vibrant human sound.

The birds are singing, the breeze is slightly cool, and under the old locust tree, the little black cat is lying on the stone table, lazily basking in the sun.

I was busy in my yard, sprinkling the yard and sweeping up the leaves.

Soon, I heard someone shouting outside: "Someone is from the city, someone is from the city!"

The shouts were louder than louder.

I hurriedly put down the broom in my hand, walked outside the courtyard gate, and looked out on the main road. At this time, Aunt Gen next door also came out when she heard the movement.

"What's going on?" Aunt Gen saw that I was looking, so she asked.

"I don't know, I just heard someone shouting that someone is coming from the city." I shook my head.

Coincidentally, the fourth sister-in-law came over with a wooden basin, and Aunt Gen hurriedly stopped her and asked what was going on.

"Isn't this from the city?" The fourth sister-in-law is happy to have someone pull her to ask about something, which shows that she is very well-informed.

There was a smug look on her face that she knew the truth of the matter, and then said, "Didn't the boss of the fourth master's family go to the city to invite someone the day before yesterday?" ”

Aunt Gen nodded, "Yes, yes!" "Aunt Gen is happy to cooperate with her, who wants to know about this!

"Later, he invited a doctor, but when the person arrived, didn't Er Ya die early?" She said with a sad face, and felt sorry for the girl.

"We have all seen it," Aunt Gen remembered the tragic death of the second girl, and after wiping a handful of tears, she urged her to speak quickly.

"When the doctor saw Erya, he concluded that he died of arsenic." The fourth sister-in-law looked left and right, lowered her voice, and said.

"Is it really arsenic death?!" I muttered. At that time, I saw that the seven orifices were bleeding, the face was blue, the fingers were black, and the symptoms were obvious.

"The doctor in the city said that the arsenic died, this is a homicide, and you have to call the police."

"Call the police?" Aunt Gen was surprised.

"Yes, no, the police are here, and they are now at Fourth Master Luo's house!" The fourth sister-in-law finally learned the truth.

"Let's go, let's see." I turned around and closed the door, picked up my skirt and left.

Aunt Gen stretched out her hand and grabbed me, "What are you going to do, the police are doing something!" How can we bother! "Aunt Gen is a little afraid of seeing officials, and the people don't fight with officials, so they can have less contact with them.

"What are you afraid of, a lot of people have gone." The fourth sister-in-law spoke, "Let's go, let's take a look." She enthusiastically led me towards Fourth Master Luo's house.

When Aunt Gen saw that we were all gone, she had no choice but to close the door of her house and follow.

When I arrived at Luo Siye's house, there were really a lot of people gathered in the courtyard, and almost all the men, women and children of the whole village came, and even the village chief stood respectfully at the door of the house, waiting for questions.

I saw two policemen searching the house, a forensic doctor was examining Erya's body, and Luo Siye's family was standing in the courtyard, hanging their heads.

The old woman, who is usually chattering, is also quietly guarding her old man at the moment, bowing her head from time to time, pretending to raise her hand to wipe her tears. The people of the village pointed at them and whispered.

"Phew, this time it's going to be retribution." Someone muttered in the crowd. Someone next to him immediately pulled him and dissuaded: "Shhh, don't talk nonsense, be careful to have your good fruit to eat after being heard!" ”

"Hmph, I can do such an unreasonable thing by myself, and no one is allowed to say it! has the ability to block the mouths of the whole village, who doesn't know that this thing is boring! The man who had just spoken said indignantly.

"You just know, you know! No need to say it! The person next to him advised.

"The police are here, see how they cover up."

"What can the police do when they come, is it difficult to arrest the second child?"

"It's hard to say, it's up to them to deal with it."

At this time, the police had come out of the house, and the forensic doctor had completed the autopsy and was packing his things. The policeman at the head walked up to the forensic doctor and asked what he said, and the forensic doctor whispered to him.

After hearing this, the policeman turned around and said loudly to the village chief: "The forensic autopsy has preliminarily judged that he died of arsenic poisoning, and the village chief has called the people from this family to go to the city with us!" ”

The village chief resignedly agreed, and quickly turned around and called the boss, asking him to go into the city with them.

Soon a group of people were about to go out, and the old village chief walked over tremblingly and leisurely to discuss with the police: "Comrade, you see that the old man is old, and it is not easy to walk, so don't go to the old man!" ”

The policeman looked at the old village chief carefully, and saw that he was gray-haired, staggering when he was standing, and needed help, and it was indeed like he couldn't walk that far on the mountain road, so he nodded and said, "Then you ask someone to go with us." ”

The village chief hurriedly called Xiong Si and ordered: "Xiong Si, you go to the city with the police, and you must be careful to respond." ”

Xiong Si nodded and responded.

When the policeman saw that someone was going, he shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

The two policemen quickly left the courtyard of the fourth master's house one after the other, and the forensic doctor followed, followed by the boss of the fourth master's house Luo and Xiong Si.

After they left, someone whispered, "Why did you only take the boss away?"

"Who else do you want to take with you?" Someone asked, "Second child?" The police just took it for questioning. ”

"Why don't you call the person concerned over when you ask questions?" The man was not convinced, and said.

"What kind of party, the boss is not from their family, it is the same whoever is called." The other said unscrupulously.

"Alright, alright, let's all disperse, what are you doing here!" At this time, the village chief spoke.

When they saw that there was no good show to watch, they all dispersed and went to their own homes.

I also left the courtyard of Zhuo Siye's house with Aunt Gen, she glanced back at Luo Siye's family, and saw the mother-in-law sitting on the ground with a "porphyr" sound, with a frightened look on her face.

It seemed that she was frightened, and there was a hint of regret in her eyes. The second child seemed to be scared stupid, his feet trembled, and he looked overly frightened.

The second sister-in-law hugged the eldest girl and the third girl, crying silently and silently. I shook my head and didn't look any further.

Back in my yard, Xiao Hei was still napping on the stone table, I reached out to pick it up, Xiao Hei "meowed", found a comfortable position in my arms and continued to sleep.

I touched Xiao Hei's body and sighed: "Erya is so pitiful! ”

Suddenly I felt a chill hit me, my body couldn't help shaking, and when I looked up, I felt a little unusual. It was already summer, how could it suddenly get cold, but I saw that the branches and leaves on the old locust tree trembled slightly, like a breeze blowing, and a trace of green smoke came out from behind the tree.

"Who's there?"

I was about to get up and approach the tree, but the little black in my arms stood up alertly, broke free from my embrace, and shouted fiercely at the old locust tree.
