Chapter 86: Dead Man

After the chrysanthemum sprouts can not be completely ignored, especially the acre of dry land of Hu Xiaomei's house, even if it rains at night, it can't be managed for two days, or you have to water from time to time, Wei Shiming's three men, two acres of dry land to pick up water is not troublesome at all, Wei Qingbao looked at Hu Xiaomei while constantly scooping water into the bucket, while frowning and beating his willow waist with his hand, from time to time he had to shake his sour hand, he worked more neatly, walking with a bucket was like running, the speed was staggering.

Wei Sanniang couldn't help but say enviously: "Look at how capable this kid is, if only our family could have such a helper." After speaking, take a look at the fox Xiaomei.

The fox pretended not to see it.

In fact, there is no need for Wei Sanniang to envy, Wei Qingbao has made up his mind to finish his work as soon as possible to help Hu Xiaomei. Anti-guest-oriented, arrange a division of labor for several people, Wei Sanniang scoops water, Fox Dayou waters, he comes to carry water, and Fox Xiaomei and Fox Lixiang don't have to do anything.

Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou couldn't keep their mouths together, but how could the two of them do this, in the end, it was Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Xiang who scooped water, Wei Sanniang watered, and Fox Dayou and Wei Qingbao carried water.

Adding one person to carry water is much faster, taking advantage of the time to fill the water, Wei Qingbao also has to help Hu Xiaomei scoop water, Hu Xiaomei saw that he was sweating profusely, his clothes were soaked, how could he let him do this again, and said: "Brother Qingbao, I'll scoop it, you rest and rest, look at you sweating profusely." ”

Wei Qingbao smiled so hard that his mouth reached the root of his ears, the beads of sweat on his forehead went straight out, and he also said straightly: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, you have to rest and rest, let me do it." Take the scoop in the hand of the fox Xiaomei.

Hu Xiaomei was worried that Wei Qingbao would be tired. snatched it back, but Wei Qingbao insisted on wanting Hu Xiaomei to rest, and snatched the scoop back from Hu Xiaomei's hand.

You snatch it, you snatch it, I grab it.

Fox Fence Xiang looked up at the two silently.

Hu Xiaomei looked embarrassed, and finally had to let him go.

Fox Xiaomei couldn't resist Wei Qingbao, so she had to do it by him. Such a few back and forth, not to mention Wei Sanniang and a few people, even Hu Xiaomei was embarrassed to be tight, so Wei Qingbao came over with a bucket, and she automatically handed the scoop over. Then he took out his own handkerchief. handed it to Wei Qingbao: "Brother Qingbao, wipe your sweat!" ”

Looking at the handkerchief handed over by the tender white hand, Wei Qingbao's whole person was refreshed, and the fatigue on his body was swept away. Smirk, took the handkerchief and wiped it on his face. The white handkerchief was mostly soaked. There was still a woman's unique fragrance on the handkerchief between his nose, and his dark face was flushed and burned. His brain was dizzy, and he looked at the lotus flowers on the handkerchief that were also alive, soaked in sweat, and the dripping made him feel like a hibiscus out of the water. My heart was pounding.

He carefully folded the handkerchief and tucked it into his arms.

Hu Xiaomei saw it, was silent for a while, and finally said: "Brother Qingbao, remember to return me when the handkerchief is used up, this is given to me by Sister Orchid." ”

Wei Qingbao paused and said, "Okay." "I was disappointed, why was Zhou Lanhua given to Hu Xiaomei, if it was Hu Xiaomei's own, he could take it back and wash it on the grounds that it was dirty, treasure it, and then take the opportunity to buy a new handkerchief for Hu Xiaomei, now I know that it was given by Zhou Lanhua, so naturally I can't do it.

In a blink of an eye, he felt that his idea was too dirty, and Hu Xiaomei kindly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, how could he have this thought, how could his daughter's handkerchief be given away casually?

After taking a sip of himself, he regretted it, how good it would be if it was really given to him by Fox Xiaomei!

All kinds of tangled contradictions!

***

Not only the Fox Dayou family and Wei Qingbao's family, but the people of the entire Fox Village put all their energy on chrysanthemum vegetables, and when they had nothing to do during the day, they walked around the vegetable field, looked at this one and that, and compared who was better. If you show white, you will sow seeds early, and the seedlings will emerge two days earlier. Naturally, the whole chrysanthemum grows taller.

Some people's chrysanthemums grow more densely, while others grow more sparsely.

For example, in Wei Qifeng's family, the brothers of Hu Yingtian are very beautiful, lush, and green.

Although the growth of the fox Xiaomei's family is okay, the chrysanthemum vegetables in the whole field look sparse, and the leaves are not as beautiful as the fox family. This is also what makes Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang puzzled, it is said that the seeds are sown evenly, why the artemisia grows in the east and the west.

There are several like Hu Xiaomei's family, such as Xiang's and Hu Yingsheng's......

Anyway, these are all seedlings, and then look at the old Li Tou's, not even the seedlings have come out, Tang Daming took a turn in the old Li Tou's field, and took the soil to see, the soil is dry and hard, and even the dry land of Fox Dayou is not comparable. Apparently haven't watered for a long time!

He frowned, and he didn't know how Lao Li was planted like this?

The person who knew the situation said: "How can he have the heart to grow vegetables, the hoeing is all large pieces, and the watering only soaks the surface, and he doesn't even apply fertilizer, how can this vegetable grow well?" ”

Tang Daming was even more puzzled, Lao Li Tou was an old bachelor in the village, and he had no other income, he planted a little land that was only enough for himself to eat, and he had no pocket money on weekdays, and he had to take some grain to sell, so it was often the owner who borrowed money from Mixi's family. He is the village chief who has to help some, and other people are okay once or twice, but after a few more times, people are reluctant to borrow it, because Lao Li Tou will not pay it back if he borrows it, who is willing!

This time the chrysanthemum cabbage is a good opportunity, and he also told Lao Li Tou well, let him have a snack, plant this vegetable, you can pick it two or three times in a row, and then there will be no use on weekdays. Who knows that other people's chrysanthemums have grown to a finger high, and the old Li Tou's has not yet emerged, what is the situation?

Tang Daming's face was displeased, and there was a lack of water in this field: "Where did Lao Li Tou go today?" ”

A few people working in the fields said: "I haven't seen you, I haven't seen anyone else all day yesterday." ”

"Go, will any of you go and see him at home, call him out for me, and don't see what has become of the field?" Tang Daming stiffened his face, as the head of a village, he had to take care of this kind of thing.

Zhang Yun happened to be fine, and immediately went to Lao Li Tou's house in response to Tang Daming's words, and after a while, he saw him panicked, and ran out of Lao Li Tou's house with a crawler, shouting: "Dead man, dead man......

The sound alarmed many people, and the big guys threw away the work at hand one after another.

Zhang Yun's face was pale, and he ran over with a panicked face, looked at Tang Daming, pointed in the direction of Lao Li Tou's house, and said tremblingly: "Lao Li Tou was killed, it stinks!" ”

Like a thunderbolt, it shocked everyone for a while!

How can a good person say that death is death, this is good?

The news of Lao Litou's death spread to the entire Hujia Village and the people of Weijia Village in less than a quarter of an hour. Tang Daming personally went to Lao Li Tou's house to see it, and as Zhang Yun said, Lao Li Tou fell in his own hall and was already dead, so he immediately sent people to Weijia Town, and personally sealed off Lao Li Tou's house, and no one was allowed to enter.

When the fox Xiaomei heard the news, she was sitting in the yard listening to the fox fence reading.

A dead person is nothing, but being murdered in Hujia Village is an earth-shattering thing! It hasn't happened in Hujia Village for decades.

When Hu Xiaomei's family arrived at the back of the village, the three layers outside Lao Li's house were full of people. Tang Daming, the village head, stood outside Lao Li Tou's house with two people, beware of someone curiously breaking in. Some of the people who watched the excitement stood on the side of the road outside the courtyard of Lao Li Tou's house, some stood in the fields next to them, and some simply climbed to the trees on the side and sat down, all of them stretched their necks to see what was going on inside the house.

Because it rained for the first two nights, the mud on the ground was still wet, and I stepped on it one by one. But at this time, the footprints on the road were dense. Even the crops in the field have been trampled down, it only rained the day before yesterday, the mud on the road is very thin in the past two days, if someone comes out of Lao Li Tou's house, there will definitely be footprints, now in this situation it is impossible to find clues from the outside, but if these people are allowed to squeeze forward, the clues at the door will definitely be destroyed.

Even if you don't become a police officer, you can't help but think about this aspect when you encounter this kind of thing.

But this official couldn't come for a while, and after thinking about it, Hu Xiaomei said in the direction of Tang Daming: "If it's really murder, how can everyone standing here find out which footprints belong to the gangsters!" ”

The voice was not loud, just enough for Tang Daming to hear, he frowned, but he immediately understood Hu Xiaomei's words, and immediately straightened his face and shouted: "Everyone retreat to the three feet away!" ”

The people on the inner and outer three floors were so easy to disperse, and everyone only retreated three feet slightly, until the official came, holding a long knife in his hand, with a serious face, facing everyone, he opened his throat majestically and shouted: "All irrelevant people and others should stand back, and if there is anyone who does not comply, they will be punished as suspects." ”

There was a bang, and the outsiders at the head of Lao Li's house were gone.

The leader was Liu Yayi, who came with Wei Ziyu last time.

Liu Yashou took the two yamen into the house to inspect it, and Tong Zuo carefully checked the death of Lao Li Tou. At the same time, Liu Yajun inquired in detail about the incident, including who had come in and what had been moved, and recorded them one by one. Tang Daming didn't dare to slack off, not only called Zhang Yun over for Liu Yashi to question, but also called the people who worked in the vegetable field before.

But the results of the examination made Tang Daming almost faint, Lao Li Tou had been dead for a day, and he suspected that he had killed him.

In view of the fact that Lao Li Tou is a bachelor, has no relatives, has a general relationship with his neighbors on weekdays, and does not have much hatred with anyone, there is no clear suspect at present, and his motive for killing is not obvious, there is no loss of property in the house, and Lao Li Tou is a poor man and has no gold and silver treasures. However, the table in the hall was overturned, and the traces of the fight were not obvious, and they could not be completely ruled out, as if there were traces of struggle. As for the cause of death, Liu Yashi really didn't find out.

There are some light-colored bruises on the neck, which should have been choked by someone, but the laryngeal bone is intact, not killed by someone who pinched the laryngeal bone, there is no obvious punctate bleeding on the skin around the eyes, the face is light blue, the eyes are normal, and they are not protruding, so it is not suffocation. There is no discoloration of the mouth and nose, and there is no bleeding from the mouth and nose, so it is not poisoning. There were no knife wounds on his body, only a bruise on his waist when he hit the table, but it was not fatal.

Liu Yashi couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after thinking about it, he called a yacha and ordered in a low voice: "Go and ask Master Wei to come over immediately, this case is a little strange." (To be continued......)
