The mountain wind brought torrential rain, and the sky became dark again, with lightning and thunder, and torrential rain constantly hitting the doors and windows with the east wind. Shen Qin was distraught and paced left and right, and suddenly a figure entered her room in the rain.

"Second Miss, Eldest Lady and Third Miss went to see Mama Jin."

"What did you say?" Shen Qin's sharp roar was drowned out in the rumbling sound in the sky.

The maid thought she hadn't heard clearly, and repeated it aloud.

"Second Miss, Eldest Lady and Third Miss went to see Mama Jin."

Shen Qinxin bit her fingers, her pupils flashed with the thunder, and a trace of bloody nails was bitten off by her vigorously, she didn't feel pain, only panicked.

"Mama Kim." Her body shuddered slightly in the darkness.

Mama Jin was awakened by the thunder at this moment, she opened her eyes faintly, and a little oil lamp was lit on a low old cabinet in the room, and a little light that could be turned on and off at any time jumped in her pupils.

Because the wind and rain were too strong, Cao Niangzi was not in a hurry to go home, so she sat on the edge of the bed.

Mama Jin seemed to have a little impression of Cao Niang, who was often taken care of by her side, and she took Cao Niangzi's hand, "Where's the eldest lady?" ”

Cao Niangzi was asked by Mama Jin and couldn't find the north, eldest lady? As if she had heard it somewhere, she frowned and thought about it, and her black and yellow face made it clear that the young lady who handed her money was the eldest lady, "Let's go." She said.

Mama Jin's cloudy eyes couldn't hide her disappointment, she scratched the coarse cloth sleeves of Cao Niangzi, "You have to remember for me, the things for the eldest lady are buried in the corner, and the things for the eldest lady." She repeated it, and after a long time, she actually fell asleep while reading, grabbing Cao Niangzi's sleeve.

"Something for the eldest lady ......." In her sleep, she still had words.

Mama Jin's demented and stupid brain rarely had a moment of lucidity, and Cao Niangzi didn't know whether she was clear or confused when she said this, and her eyes unconsciously looked at the corner of the wall.

Under the dim oil lamp, the bumpy corner of the wall has long been stepped on by the oily smooth, there is no trace of frequent digging, she shook her head and grinned, thinking that Mama Jin was confused again, it is not the first time that something like this has happened, Cao Niangzi looked up through the window, the rain outside had stopped, and the sky was slowly brightening.

When it was time to go, she turned around and sorted out the quilt for Mama Jin, carefully covered the door, lifted the back basket on the manhole cover, and looked back a few times before turning to leave.

The courtyard door is not locked, although Cao Niangzi takes care of Mama Jin's daily life, but she can only take care of Mama Jin in the morning, noon, afternoon, like night, there are still old people and children at home, and she can't stay for a long time.

Not long after Cao Niangzi left, it was pouring rain again.

Shen Qinrou and the two sisters leaned against the window and listened to the sound of rain outside the window.

An Ping and Liu Lu set up the dining table and retreated lightly, leaving the indoor space for the two of them.

The delicacies of the mountains have been cooked by the chef and become a good dish on the dining table, which is fragrant and refreshing, and is the most suitable for summer.

Shen Qinrou took a pair of chopsticks, and the tips of the white and tender bamboo shoots were particularly refreshing, and she put them down after using two chopsticks. Shen Qinya saw that she didn't use it much, so she gave her a chopstick of fresh mixed mushrooms, "This tastes good, try it." She advised the dish.

No matter how delicious things are, you will still get tired of eating them every day, Shen Qinrou smiled and put the vegetables in her mouth, chewed slowly and swallowed them, but she didn't want to use them anymore, blocking the chopsticks that Shen Qinya stretched out again, "Don't give me vegetables, I don't have much appetite today." ”

It was hot and Shen Qinya didn't eat much, so she didn't persuade her, so she hastily used a few mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks.

"I don't know if Mama Jin in the small courtyard has eaten." She rinsed her mouth with the chilled plum juice and set a crystal cup aside.

The courtyard is clean, and the total is about that, Shen Qinrou was not surprised at all when Shen Qinya mentioned Mama Jin, she answered casually: "Look at Mama Jin's spirits are not bad, and the meal should not be short." ”

Shen Qinya smiled, "Yes." ”

The days have been clean for a long time, and she actually cares about Mama Jin, Shen Qinya laughed self-deprecatingly, she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Let's go and see Mama Jin again tomorrow?" I should be back home in a few days. ”

"Okay." Shen Qinrou nodded, this is already the ninth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days.

The two sisters chatted about gossip with or without a match, and An Ping saw that their meal had been used, so he withdrew the table, and served the chilled lotus dew in the glass cup shining with a faint pink purple, which contrasted with the pink fingertips of the two sisters, and looked good.

"Miss, try it, this is lotus dew made from fresh lotus flowers." An Ping smiled with a small empty paint plate on the side.

Shen Qinya picked up the glass cup, the cup surface has been soaked in a lot of small droplets, listening to the rain outside the window, tasting the lotus dew with a faint lotus fragrance is not interesting.

The torrential rain does not stop, the thunder marks are densely covered in the sky, the people who are noisy with the earth-shaking thunder can't sleep all night, and when it is almost dawn, the golden light breaks the dawn, and Shen Qinrou falls asleep.

"Miss."

Suddenly, an eager voice came, she rubbed her eyes, her eyes were confused, "What time is it?" She asked.

"It's time." Liu Lu hung up the lotus tent, her face was anxious, and she said while serving Shen Qinrou to get up: "Miss, I heard that Mama Jin accidentally fell into the well and drowned last night. ”

"What?" Shen Qinru was taken aback, "How can this be." She looked at Willow Green and hurriedly dressed and washed.

The movements of Liu Lu's hands also became faster, "I heard that I may have wanted to go to the well to fetch water, but I stepped on the moss and fell down." ”

Although Mama Jin has the care of Shen Erye, she is always just a slave, or a crazy and stupid slave, it is not surprising that this kind of thing happened in the eyes of others, if it wasn't for Cao Niangzi going early, and she is a careful person, maybe she hasn't been able to find Mama Jin's body.

And if it weren't for Shen Qinrou and Shen Qinya going to see Mama Jin on the front foot, Liu Lu wouldn't necessarily be concerned about Mama Jin's news, and she wouldn't know the news of Mama Jin's death.

It's too normal for a slave to die in the mansion.

When Shen Qinrou and the others arrived, they couldn't see Mama Jin's body, and her body heard that it had been buried in a thin coffin, and it was buried in the ground.

Mama Jin is a slave and maid who has no prominent master, and it is already sympathetic to have a thin coffin, which is the most common thing among everyone.

Shen Qinrou could only sigh, she was a good person yesterday, but today she said that she was gone.

Cao Niangzi is also sad about Mama Jin, who has taken care of people for so many years, last night was okay, this morning said that it was gone, and she still has feelings for a long time after raising a cat and a dog, not to mention a person, her not big eyes are a little red and swollen from crying, and she can't see her eyes when she squints.

Cao Niangzi is a simple and honest person, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, she doesn't believe what those mothers-in-law say, how could Mama Jin accidentally fall into the well and drown? Obviously, when she left yesterday, the stone cover on the well was still tightly covered, and Mama Jin never came close to the well, so why did she fall into the well and drown? On last night's stormy day, who would have nothing to do with going to the well? In the eyes of outsiders, Mama Jin is crazy and stupid, but the Mama Jin in her eyes is different from what others see.

Mama Jin is just a poor old man who broke her head, she doesn't make mistakes, and she is not difficult to serve.

There are many questions in her heart, she wants to cry out for the dead Mama Jin, but there are so many people in Beizhuang, who will listen to her sincerely, and who cares about Mama Jin's life and death?

Huo Ran, the sad Cao Niangzi thought of a person, the eldest lady that Mama Jin talked about before her death.

When Cao Niangzi wanted to find someone, it happened that Shen Qinrou was also in the courtyard, so she saw Shen Qinrou without any barrier, she said the doubts in her heart to Shen Qinrou, and at the same time told Shen Qinrou what Mama Jin said last night.

Shen Qinrou frowned, what Cao Niangzi said was not unreasonable, and she also intuitively felt in her heart that Mama Jin did not die in an accident, but no one saw it at the time, and she didn't guess, after all, human life is at stake.

Cao Niangzi led Shen Qinrou to the house according to her red and swollen eyes, and when she reached the corner of the wall, she suddenly covered her mouth, and the soil in the corner of the wall was turned over!

She suddenly remembered what Mama Jin said before her death, and unconsciously read it along, "Miss, the thing in the corner is for Miss, Miss." ”
