Chapter Ninety-Six: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (Part II)
Just when Nangong Xue visited the people's homes, Wei Yongnian quietly came to the door of the mysterious residence he found, he looked around and observed the surrounding environment, and then looked at the ashes he sprinkled at the door, and compared the footprints under the ashes, and found that this did not look like the footprints of an adult man, judging from the size of the fat and thin, he felt that this was like a woman's footprints, looking at the footprints of this woman Wei Yongnian couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and secretly thought in his heart: "Could it be that they still have female accomplices?" ”
Just thinking about it, Wei Yongnian heard footsteps approaching, so he jumped on a thick branch, this tree is very tall, and the leaves are quite large, Wei Yongnian gently held a branch to cover himself, and then stared at the house quietly. At this time, I saw a middle-aged woman walking over with a basket, and the basket also contained some vegetables and fruits, and then the middle-aged woman knocked on the door of this house, and it didn't take long for the door to open, and a middle-aged man poked his head out to look at it, and said, "It's Mother Rong, I've come here to cook so early today." ”
Rong's mother straightened the basket and said, "Yes, I'll go back to see my grandson early after finishing it early, I finally came back today, I want to get together with my grandson more, so I'll come over early today to cook for you." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and replied, "Oh, that's the case, that's okay, you can go back early when you're done, so as not to delay your reunion with your grandson." Then come in. With that, he invited Rong's mother in. Then the middle-aged man didn't forget to look left and right before closing the door. It seems that something is guarded against.
After Wei Yongnian saw Rong's mother enter, there were bursts of green smoke floating out of the roof chimney after a while. Wei Yongnian said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Mother Rong should not be an accomplice, but someone who came to cook for them." In this way, the people who live in it have to rely on this Mother Rong to eat. ……。 So he thought about it and stared at the house quietly.
About half an hour later, this Mother Rong came out of this house, and it was the middle-aged man who opened the door before who gave her off, and he said lightly: "Mother Rong go slowly, if you can't come tomorrow, don't be reluctant, gather more of your grandchildren, these meals today are almost enough to eat until tomorrow." Buy more fruit when you come back. I'll give you all the money, and you can buy whatever fruit you want. ”
Mother Rong nodded and replied, "Well, I know." That's fine, I'll go first. With that, he turned and walked over the threshold with his legs raised.
After Rong's mother left, the middle-aged man closed the door, turned around and entered the house. In order to further investigate the situation, Wei Yongnian took advantage of the fact that there were no passers-by on the road and took a leap up to the roof of the house, and also looked around the layout of the house. Speaking of which, this house is not very big, there are two side rooms on the left and right, and the middle is a main hall except for the main house, and these three rooms are connected, and the main hall is also connected with these three rooms. After passing through the main hall, you will come to the backyard, and then there are two rooms in the backyard, one on the left and the other on the right, one is the kitchen, and the other is the firewood room. The most partial-corner of this yard is the latrine. But although it was a thatched toilet, it didn't smell any fishy smell, but a very fragrant scent, Wei Yongnian said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the people who live here pay attention to hygiene." It's just a thatched toilet that makes it smell so good. If you don't pay attention, you think it's a storehouse where incense is stored. ”
Then he slowly lifted the rubble and carefully observed the people inside. The house is not big, and there are not many people living in it, only three big men in total. How do you know? As soon as Wei Yongnian arrived on the roof, he tiptoed on the roof, and every time he reached the roof of a room, he gently lifted a piece of rubble and observed the inside, so after inspecting all the houses, Wei Yongnian only found these three big men.
One of the three big men, Wei Yongnian, recognized him, and he was the one who sneakily hid in the corner that day. The other two have never been seen at all, the three big men are sitting in the main room, and the middle-aged man who had just sent away Rong's mother picked up an apple and took a bite while eating, and said: "Big brother, do you think that the government will really suspect that someone else has poisoned him?" But I didn't see the government and started to search from house to house? Won't you be distracted? It's really boring enough about a day. If we hadn't hired good people to buy vegetables and cook before the head, I was afraid that our brothers and daughters would have to be hungry. ”
Their boss looked at him disdainfully, and said contemptuously, "Hmph, you know how to eat." Judging from the situation that the second child came back from the investigation, now the government should not know if there is another person, after all, there is no evidence on the government side, and the door-to-door investigation must also have the search documents approved above, because there is no evidence to directly accuse it of someone else, not to mention that this matter seems to be only known to the Nancheng side, and other urban districts still seem to know nothing, which means that the attitude of the Nancheng government towards this matter is to block the news. If my judgment is correct, it means that we won't be found yet, so you don't have to worry too much. In addition, I want to tell the two of you, save me some gas, can you rely on some music? It's not good to do all the work, and leave a tail for people to discover. Let the employer know that I can't save your life. ”
As soon as the two of them heard that the boss couldn't save their lives, they hurriedly prayed: "Boss, boss, can you ignore the younger brother, the younger brother is so dedicated to you, if something really happens, you can't let it go." ”
"Even if I wanted to, I didn't have the final say." "It also depends on what the employer thinks." For now, it's good to do what our employers tell us to do. Don't worry about anything else. You two will work for me in the future, don't keep any more tails, do you hear? ”
"Yes, yes, the little brother heard it." The two little brothers hurriedly nodded and replied.
"That's right. I think this thing can't be so blatantly left in a drawer anymore, if it is lost, none of us can afford it. With that, the boss walked to a cabinet, opened the drawer and took out a paper bag and a letter, and said lightly, "These can't be lost, I thought about it, if it's really that day, these are life-saving things." So I think I have to put it in a reliable place. ”
"A reliable place?" The second child said, "This house is rented by the employer, where can it be reliable?" If you know that you still have these things, can't you still be able to turn them over? ”
"Isn't it?" The third child looked around, and then said lightly, "But no matter how much you look for it, you can't tear down such a good house to find it, right?" Then the employer can't do this even if he has money, right? Isn't this the equivalent of suing people that this is a hiding place? Didn't you just sell the employer himself all at once? Employers shouldn't be so stupid, right? ”
"Alas! Yes! You're so right! The boss suddenly seemed to wake up the person in his dream, and clapped his hands with a "snap", "Why didn't I think of it?" Hiding in this house, you won't tear down the house to find it. Employers shouldn't risk exposing themselves to demolish houses. ”
The two younger brothers looked at the boss's babbling appearance, and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, and the two looked at the boss in a daze. And the boss continued: "I will hide these two things that can save our lives in the hidden corner of the house, as long as the house is not demolished, it will not be found." So he went around the house to find a place to hide, and finally looked at it, and finally took a fancy to an extremely inconspicuous dark corner, this corner is located in a corner of the main house, and then this corner is a mahogany cabinet, if you move away the cabinet is the dust accumulated over the years, he took out the dagger and carefully stabbed it into the gap of the wall bricks, little by little a wall brick was taken out, the walls of this room are made of three bricks side by side, when this brick is taken out, He stretched out his hand to clean up the soil in it a little, then wrapped the paper bag and envelope in an oiled paper, and then stuffed it in, and finally put the bricks in it as it was, in order not to let the surface see that it was dug out, he brought some water and sprinkled it slightly on the soil that had just been dug out, and touched it with the dagger a little bit, covering the gap, and then poured a layer of dry soil on it. Then he looked at it and felt that he couldn't see that he had moved his hands and feet, so he pushed the cabinet back into its original position.
After this is all hidden, he said: "Okay, hide it here, you two have kept my mouth for me, if the employer really wants our lives that day, this thing will definitely save our lives." ”
"Yes, Boss." The two younger brothers hurriedly replied, "The younger brother will definitely keep his mouth shut, please rest assured." ”
"Hmm." The boss nodded, and at this time, the servant suddenly heard a trio playing in the Five Organs Temple, and said, "The things are also hidden, and the stomach is hungry, go and eat." With that, the three of them went to the back kitchen to serve food.
Wei Yongnian took in the whole scene on the roof, and then when he left the main room for the three of them, he entered the room softly, took out a packet of sweat medicine from his waist, poured some into the kettle they drank from, shook it and put it back in place. Then he jumped onto the roof and continued to stare at the three men, quietly waiting for them to come back from dinner and drink the drugged water.
After about half an hour, the men stumbled back to the main hall, poured a glass of water each, and then went back to their respective rooms. Wei Yongnian stood on the roof and looked at this couple, and secretly thought in his heart: "This big man can really drink a meal, but it's okay, after drinking so much wine and drinking the medicated water, I can sleep for a long time now." Okay, you guys can sleep on it for a few hours. ”
Sure enough, after the three of them finished drinking the water, they all fell down and fell asleep after a while. Wei Yongnian took this opportunity to sneak into the main room and took out the things they had just hidden, he first took out the letter, looked at it, and then secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough." It's really a guess for the old man. Then he opened the paper bag and looked at it, which said "**** salt is highly poisonous". Wei Yongnian took a small part of the **** salt and wrapped it in paper. Then he wrote a copy of the letter, and then put the original intact into the envelope, and together with the medicine bag wrapped in **** salt, it was also wrapped up according to the original imprint, and put it back in the distance, and finally restored the wall to its original state. After checking that there were no signs of being turned over, he left the house.
