Qingshan hesitated a little, and subconsciously glanced at Nie Shuyao.

Nie Shuyao didn't know why he had this expression, and asked, "Li Zheng...... How are the people? ”

Qingshan's little face slowly tensed, and said: "Everyone says that he is good and very enthusiastic, but Brother Bolt says that he is not good, and there is a difference between the outside and the inside." ”

"Why?" Nie Shuyao asked, it's a bolt again, it seems that Qingshan trusts this kid very much.

Aoyama shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Okay. I'll go with you to open the door. ”

Nie Shuyao handed over the task in his hand to the others, and walked to the gate with Qingshan.

The door opened, and what Nie Shuyao saw was a sturdy old man, about forty or fifty years old, with a not good-looking beard, looking very simple.

The old man was stunned when he saw Nie Shuyao, frowned and asked Qingshan, "What about your sister?" ”

Qingshan also frowned like a little old man, and whispered, "My sister doesn't know where she went." ”

The old man said to Nie Shuyao again: "What is the old man's surname, I don't know how the girl is in Qingshan's house?" ”

Nie Shuyao said: "It turned out to be He Lizheng, my surname is Nie." When our group went into the mountains to hunt, we accidentally missed the return time, so we stayed at Qingshan's house. ”

He Lizheng said "oh" and persuaded: "Since it is a nightstay, it is also dawn this day, so the girl should hurry up early." ”

Another one wants them to leave, but it's really hard to use the reason of staying overnight.

At this moment, the old man walked over, looked at He Lizheng and said, "Old He, do you still remember me?" ”

He Li was squinting his eyes to look carefully, and said uncertainly, "You are ......." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I am an old man, and I was entrusted to come to your village two years ago. It's a pity that I couldn't meet Mr. Miao. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be old age." He Lizheng thought of this person at this time, and also smiled: "I haven't seen you for two years." The old age is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all. ”

The old man said: "Where is it, you are old and have not changed." Still so robust! ”

Nie Shuyao, who was on the side, glanced at Qingshan, who was also unknown, and thought, how could these two people feel so awkward when they spoke.

He Li was greeting the old man for a long time, and finally He Li said: "Since you are friends of the elderly, then I will say it directly." There is something quirky about our village. Outsiders can't stay longer. Otherwise, something unexpected is likely to happen. ”

Nie Shuyao asked, "I don't know what Heli is doing when he is looking for Qing Dai?" ”

These words made He Lizheng flatten his mouth, he was a little unhappy, he was Lizheng of Huaishu Village. But because of his face, he replied: "Alas." Qingshan and her sister, these two children have a hard life. Seeing that Qingdai is also older, it's time to fulfill the family affairs that his father and mother set for her when they were alive. I didn't expect Qingdai to disappear the day before yesterday, which made the old man anxious. My boy talks about it every day. ”

"What? Qingdai has a marriage contract with your family? Nie Shuyao glanced at Qingshan.

Aoyama shook his head anxiously, "I haven't heard my sister say it. ”

Then the three of them looked at He Lizheng with a pair of suspicious eyes.

He Li was unhappy with their eyes. The smile that always hung on his face was gone, and he said in an unkind tone: "Qingdai, I'm afraid that this girl didn't take a fancy to my eldest son, so she ran away." Alas, she didn't want to think about how Qingshan could live as a small person. You are outsiders. Don't get involved in this, leave early. ”

When Aoyama heard this, he immediately retorted, "My sister is not that kind of person. Brother Gao Shan is in his twenties, can't he find a daughter-in-law before he wants to marry my sister? My sister won't marry him. ”

"Shut up for me. What do little children know? If it weren't for your sister, my family would have married and had children a long time ago. This is because you have to keep the marriage you made with your grandfather! What the ancestors set cannot be changed. He Li Zheng said angrily.

Qingshan was scared, and moved and hid behind Nie Shuyao.

After He Lizheng realized his impulsiveness, he said kindly: "Qingshan, you can pack up and go to my house to live in a while." Aren't you scared to live here alone? Rest assured, our old He family is committed to it, no matter whether Qingdai recognizes this family or not, we will take care of you. That's it, old age, you guys pack up and go. Don't look at the scenery here, there are just as many strange things. ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

The old man immediately said: "This is not good, someone stole one of our horses last night, and we can't leave if we want to." Unless He Li is helping us find the horse, you must know that we are from Yangzhou, what if there is one less horse? ”

"What?" He Lizheng was surprised, "Whose horse is gone?" ”

Song Qing came over and said, "My horse was stolen, do you have to give me an explanation in your village to pay for the silver?" ”

Song Yunfei also walked over with a flute, and said with a smile: "If you don't pay us a horse, you can return our horse, in short, this matter can't be just settled." The horse was lost in your locust tree village, but don't think that we are easy to pinch with few people. ”

As he spoke, he patted his waist, where a small dagger was pinned.

The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth hooked for this, this guy! This is a bully.

"You ......." He Li couldn't do it righteously, and pointed at the old man with trembling hands, "Old man, you also know about the events back then, so I won't say more." Alas, I'm really embarrassed by this. Who was here yesterday? ”

Qingshan said: "Brother Bolt has been here." ”

He Lizheng shook his head again and again, "I knew that this kid would be fine as soon as he came back, so you should go to him." We are so poor in Huaishu Village that we can't eat, where are the horses? Not to mention the silver. ”

He finally glanced at Qingshan with pity, muttered "Evil", and just walked away.

Afterwards, Nie Shuyao asked the old man, "What is the positive reputation here?" ”

The old man seemed to be limited to his memories because of this sentence, "It is said that it is good. The old man Miao was buried with Qingshan's father. ”

"And what about his son Gao Shan?"

Qingshan said on the side: "The mountain people look like a bear, and they have a short temper, and they can't marry a daughter-in-law. I don't want my sister to marry him!" ”

Only Nie Tianxi nodded in agreement, "Such a person is not worthy of your sister at all." ”

Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, his younger brother is cute.

"What are we going to do next?" Jiang Yi asked calmly.

Nie Shuyao said: "Leave one person to watch the house, and the others will go to the surrounding area to find Qingdai." Aoyama took me and Wan'er for a walk around the village to see what we could find. ”

The old man said, "Why don't you go to the stone house next to the old locust tree?" It was the first scene of the year. ”

He has followed Nie Shuyao and his party for so many days, and he also knows what the first scene is.

Nie Shuyao explained: "Don't go first. The reason why the later murder cases in Huaishu Village can occur all started with the murder of Old Man Miao. If we go now, the villagers will angrily drive us away, and it will be troublesome to come in then. ”

"But if you don't go, how can you find out who killed Old Man Miao?" The old man said urgently.

Nie Shuyao shook his head lightly, "Uncle Nian, don't worry. This series of murders and the disappearance of Aoyama's parents are all related to one thing, so the top priority should be to find Qingdai. Or let the plug help us willingly, preferably with both of us. ”

"What's the matter?" The old man asked again.

"Jade pendant! Uncle Nian, think about it. Only Jade Pei can lead to this series of things, I don't think it's more complicated than Shimizu Village, but we must at least know what to do, and it will be much easier to find the mastermind behind it. It's a very secret place, and it shouldn't be done by outsiders. ”

Nie Shuyao hadn't finished speaking, she felt that there was a difference between this place and Qingshui Village, and every qiē here was made by "her own people".

She added: "We've only seen He Li Zheng and the bolt, and we don't know what the other villagers are like, so we have to investigate!" ”

The old man seemed to understand, and said no more.

Their conversation did not carry Qingshan on their backs, leaving Song Qing to look after the house, and the others spread their nets.

Song Yunfei was in a group with Lengzi, Jiang Yi was in a group with Nie Tianxi, and finally the old man who was familiar with this place wandered around the village alone.

Qingshan took Nie Shuyao and the others to the village, his home was not in the village, it was considered a foreign village. As he walked, he said, "Sister Nie, are you here to investigate the case?" It's like two years ago. ”

Nie Shuyao said: "We are not arresting fast, but we are indeed entrusted by someone to investigate the case." I hope Aoyama can keep it secret for us. ”

After just getting along for a day and a night, Qingshan was convinced by this beautiful Sister Nie, nodded and said, "I believe you, Qingshan won't say much." It's just that Qingshan can entrust you to find my sister and check on my father's affairs? ”

Nie Shuyao nodded without thinking, "Okay, we accepted this commission." Is it okay to live in Aoyama's house during the investigation? ”

"Good!" Aoyama gladly accepted.

When you come to the real inner village, the streets are populated. Walking past the well, the man who fetched the water looked at them with a blank expression.

I walked to the stone mill I saw yesterday, and an old woman and a little girl were pushing hard, and the brown rice on the mill had not yet peeled.

The old woman looked to be fifty years old, and her back was a little bent, and the little girl was seven or eight years old, and she almost walked twice and then rested.

When Nie Shuyao saw it, she took a hand next to the little girl, and Qingshan and Jiang Wan'er also came up to push together. This stone mill is very large, and several people push it together to turn quickly.

When the old woman saw Qingshan, she smiled and said, "It's Qingshan, is this a relative of your family?" ”

Qingshan smiled and nodded, "Granny Yang, we'll help you." Sister Niuniu, you can rest. ”

"Yes, good boy." Granny Yang just removed the husk from the brown rice, and it didn't take long for them to join.

Putting the rice in a small cloth bag, Granny Yang looked at Nie Shuyao, looked left and right at no one, and said kindly: "Girl, I know that you are not from Huaishu Village. If you can help the old woman push the mill, you know that you are a good person, you should leave before dark, we can't leave outsiders in Huaishu Village overnight, there will be an accident. ”

"Why?" Nie Shuyao felt very strange, could it be that someone here would come out at night to pretend to be a ghost. (To be continued) R655
