The more depressed Nie Shuyao was in his heart, the brighter the smile on his face became, and said, "Aunt Niu, don't worry, let's talk to Shuyao about this pig first." ”

Aunt Niu didn't care about being polite, and pulled her directly to the pigsty, "Aunt Niu only found out that the pig was missing this morning, and she took a special look at it before going to bed last night." ”

Nie Shuyao looked at the pigsty, which was a half-open shed. On the side is a side room, and the front is blocked by a low wall of less than a meter made of stones. The small wooden door of the pigsty is only opened when it is cleaned, and the pigs are usually fed, and they are poured directly into the piggrough through the low wall.

Although Aunt Niu looked a little dirty at this time, it was caused by her anxious pig sitting on the ground and crying for a long time. In fact, the people in their family still love cleanliness. You can see it from the dry pigsty.

The pigsty has just been replaced with new soil, and no signs of anyone entering it have been found. If man had done so, the dry soil on the ground would have left a trail.

She walked over to the rough wooden door again, and lifted it in her hand to find it heavy. There are some sticks of wood nailed to the left and right three. It's like patched clothes, and some of the nails are still exposed, so if you're not careful, you may hurt your hands. With a gentle push, whether it was inward or outward, there would be a mark of dirt on the ground.

Looking at the marks of the wooden door, Nie Shuyao guessed: Could it be possible that the door was opened by man and the pig was released?

Imagine a pig that can't speak, and if someone forcibly takes it away, it will definitely bark. But what about poison? Or maybe this person is a practitioner, and it is possible to carry the pig away after it falls.

She saw that there was no food in the pig trough, and she did not rule out this possibility. If the pig is hungry, it will run with the food.

Aunt Niu's family originally raised a local dog, but Nie's thought it was noisy, so she thought of a way to let Aunt Niu sell the dog. Thinking about it this way, if there is a dog, maybe this pig will not be gone.

Nie Shuyao felt that she had the responsibility to find out about this matter, although the past ten years had not been the life of a young lady in the eyes of others, but she rarely had the opportunity to investigate the case.

The detective heart in her heart was already ready to move, even if it was just a dirty pig, it was better than nothing. If you don't move your mind, it will rust!

Thinking so, she looked at the pigsty again, and there were several deep marks in it. She thought of pig's trotters, which were most likely to make such marks with their structure.

Aunt Niu frowned at her for a while, curled her mouth for a while, became anxious again, and asked, "Shu Yao, do you think my pig can be recovered?" ”

Nie Shuyao was thinking about it and didn't pay attention to this, still constantly observing the situation in the pigsty and the yard, and making a series of reasoning in his mind.

Nie Tianxi knew her sister best, so she hurriedly tugged at Aunt Niu's sleeve and whispered: "Aunt Niu, don't worry, no matter whether your pig can be found in the end or not, my sister will give Aunt Niu the answer she wants." ”

"Oh!" When Aunt Niu heard Nie Tianxi say this, her heart was a little relieved, but when she realized that they were only two children, the worry in her heart began again.

But when I thought of her pig running away two months ago because she didn't close the door, it was the girl in front of me who was still like a child, and she clicked two sentences to find it, so she couldn't help but say what she said.

Everyone was also curious, and it was also because of the last time Aunt Niu's family lost pigs, the big girls and little daughters-in-law came more this time.

They all want to know how this delicate girl who hasn't been able to do it all came out, didn't Aunt Niu say that she was a god push?

No one knows what the gods are, but no one in the town knows the gods, so it's almost the same as the gods.

This is Ewha Town, a small town that is not prosperous. A few steps out of the town is a field, and most of the people in the town have their own land, and some of them live by doing small business in their ancestral shop.

Although the people in the town also have rich families, they are generally not much different from the country, and the girls are all so plain and faceless that no one will gossip.

Nie Shuyao's "divine push" is just a small conversation among the women after dinner, and Nie's has a straight face all year round, and no one knows herself and is not interested in gossiping about her.

So she reasoned so openly. Walking slowly from the pigsty to the gate, I carefully observed the situation on the ground on this short road.

The yard of Aunt Niu's house is not small, and the road from the main house to the gate is paved with broken bluestone slabs, and the rest of the place is compacted soil. Recently, the weather has been dry, and the average person walking on it does not leave any evidence of footprints, except for the occasional hoof print or two on the road from the pigsty to the gate.

Nie Shuyao asked, "Aunt Niu, do your pigs often run out?" ”

Aunt Niu kept nervously following her, and immediately replied: "It's not often, it's just to let it come out when cleaning the pigsty." ”

"When was the pigsty cleaned?"

"Early yesterday morning, your Uncle Niu cleared. Just send some fertilizer to those two acres of land. ”

Nie Shuyao looked away from the gaze that was gathered on the ground, and said to himself, "Since this is the case, then these pig's hoof prints cannot be a clue." ”

She looked up at the layout of the courtyard of Aunt Niu's house, the right courtyard wall was shared with Nie Shuyao's house, and the pigsty was set on the left courtyard wall. There was nothing but a pigsty and a wing. The front courtyard wall is very high, if someone climbs over the wall, he must be a master, but can such a master steal a pig?

I walked to the gate and suddenly found a green vegetable at the threshold.

Nie Shuyao bent down to pick up the green cabbage, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a common gray cabbage in the field, as if it had been eaten by something, leaving only half of it. She remembered the little green juice that had been left in the trough.

Although the Ming Dynasty here is still in the cold snap period of the earth, there is already this kind of vegetable in the sunny field at the end of April. She folded the gray cabbage and found that it was still very tender, and a lot of green juice was suddenly left on her white fingers.

She turned to look at Aunt Niu and asked, "Does Aunt Niu feed pigweed to pigs?" ”

Aunt Niu also saw the gray cabbage in her hand, and replied: "How can there be pigweed to feed this god, I didn't know that these vegetables could also be fed to pigs a few years ago, but the old Lu Tou in the south of the town brought some pigweed he saved." This grass may have been brought back by your Uncle Niu when they went out to work and glued to the soles of their shoes. ”

"Oh." Nie Shuyao said again: "Uncle Niu, they went to work on the canal outside the town, it seems that they have to leave early." ”

Aunt Niu sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, their grandfather got up early and worked hard for half a year, and he was really blind, and a pig was gone." ”

Nie Shuyao comforted: "Aunt Niu, don't worry, this pig may really be able to be recovered." Let me ask you again, will this gate be closed after they leave? ”

Aunt Niu said: "What's the matter?" Soon after they left, I got up. ”

"And what about today?"

Aunt Niu frowned and replied, "I got up half an hour late today. Yesterday, my father-in-law's illness broke out again, and this is ....... ”

Nie Shuyao interrupted her and asked, "Then has anyone come to see the pig in the past few days?" ”

"Yes, why not. Seeing that this pig is fat, no one will come to see it. The Zheng butcher in the town came and said that the pig had a bigger belly but was not fat, so let it be raised for another two months. The old man in the south of the town also came to see it, and let me remember to add more food to this pig, otherwise the pig will not be fat or something. Aunt Niu counted them one by one.

"Butcher Zheng is the one who just took over the old butcher's class before." Nie Shuyao asked.

Aunt Niu said: "It's that Zheng butcher, a person who looks quite sven, no one thought that he would become a butcher." ”

Nie Shuyao asked again: "Who is Old Lu Tou?" ”

Aunt Niu replied: "Didn't my pig run once three and a half months ago? It's Shu Yao that you said to look for it in the south of the town, it's best to go to a pig farmer to see, but I didn't expect this pig to run to the widower Lao Lutou's house, and this is how I met him. In fact, he is not bad, he is a good pig raiser, I heard that the money from the sale of his big fat pig can marry a daughter-in-law, and I also heard that it is the ...... of the town. ”

"Stop!" Nie Shuyao raised her hand to interrupt Aunt Niu's gossip and asked, "He taught him how to feed pigs with vegetables?" ”

Aunt Niu hurriedly said: "Isn't it him, this person is really enthusiastic." These dried vegetables were delivered by him a month ago. ”

Hearing this, Nie Shuyao basically understood where the pig went, and in order to consolidate her reasoning, she asked again: "Uncle Niu, they went to work in the canal, do everyone in the town know if they go out so early." ”

"Who doesn't know this, almost all the middle-aged men in the town have gathered there." The daughter-in-law of the Li family on the side said.

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Aunt Niu don't worry, you can't lose this pig." If you can, let Brother Da Niu come back early today, I'll tell him where the pig went! ”
