"Nian'er doesn't feel bored, she likes to stay with her grandmother."

Although he said that, Ran Qiunian also knew that his grandmother felt sorry for herself, and when she saw that her grandmother was a little sleepy after drinking the medicine, she followed her grandmother's words and got up to leave.

"Then Nian'er will go to the eldest brother first, and when the grandmother has a lunch break, if she feels bored, let someone call Nian'er, and Nian'er will read to her grandmother."

"Go, go, come back at dinner, there is ginkgo biloba in the study work, you don't need you, come back when you have fun."

Grandmother had a smile in her eyes, and she pretended to be impatient and said two words to drive people away, and Ran Qiunian also smiled and responded one by one, turned around and retreated.

Since her grandmother had spoken, Ran Qiunian didn't want to go back and stay, she was feeling a little idle, and when she glanced at it, she saw the crossbow tied to her arm, and her eyes rolled and she had an idea.

"Big brother, do you have anything to do today?"

Ran Qiunian took the arm crossbow to Xiao Yin's house.

Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian comparing the crossbow arrows on her arm, and knew what she meant: "What, you want to go out to practice archery?" ”

"If you have nothing to do, big brother, you might as well accompany Nian'er to the mountains to try the power of this crossbow."

Seeing that Xiao Yin did not refuse, Ran Qiunian knew that he had acquiesced, and he was overjoyed, since this arm crossbow was given to him by Xiao Yin, he had never had a chance to be used, and Ran Qiunian couldn't wait for it.

"Then let's go quickly, let's go now, I know that there is a big forest under the mountain, let the big brother see Nian'er's ability to pierce the leaves with arrows that he has practiced hard these days."

Ran Qiu raised the crossbow arrow on his arm and smiled confidently at Xiao Yin.

Because I went to the forest of the Ran family, the place was not far away and it was very safe, and there were often villagers nearby who came in to pick up firewood, so Ran Qiunian didn't bring his entourage because he was troublesome, and left Qingxi in Zhuangzi, and only went with Xiao Yin.

When he arrived in the forest at the bottom of the mountain, with Xiao Yin by his side, Ran Qiunian was very relieved to use the falling leaves around him to practice the ability to fly arrows through leaves.

"It's a pity that there are no pheasants and hares here, otherwise I can try to hunt some game and go back."

Ran Qiunian took a few steps forward with some pity, bent down and pulled out the arrow he had just shot from the ground, and suddenly heard a conversation not far away.

"I don't know what's going on, these days I always feel that the well water is smelly, not clean, and it smells when it is cooked, my mother-in-law can only get up early every day to fetch water from the stream behind the village, you tell me what is going on."

"Could it be that someone's well fell into a dead rat? This is not a trivial matter, if you don't make a good fuss, it's better to be careful, and don't use the well water anymore. I see that Wang Mazi's well has been blocked, and no one has returned for so many days, maybe the rat fell into his house. ”

"I think Wang Mazi's house fell into, who doesn't know that the village belongs to his poorest family, and people are lazy to eat, I passed by his house these days, and saw that the house was dirty and almost moldy. The rats must have been brought in by his family. ”

The two woodcutters who went into the forest to collect firewood didn't see Ran Qiunian under the shade of the trees, and after talking to themselves, they went to the other side.

Behind him, seeing Ran Qiunian squatting behind the bushes for a long time without reacting, Xiao Yin came over to check with some worry, but he didn't expect to see Ran Qiunian holding an arrow shaft in one hand, his face full of interest.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yin saw that Ran Qiunian didn't seem to have broken his foot, but he squatted on the edge of the tree root without moving, so he said something to wake people up.

"Big brother, I just heard two people say that they said that dead rats had fallen from the well water of Wang Mazi's house, and the water stinked, and even the well water of other houses in the village also stinked. What kind of rat has such a ability, and I don't know if it's true or not? ”

Ran Qiu Nian woke up and saw Xiao Yin close in front of him, so he stood up and pointed in the direction where the two had left, a little curious.

"It's in the countryside, so it's not surprising that rats are infested. For the sake of convenience, most of the wells drilled by each family are connected, so the well water of the family is polluted, and within a few days, the well water connected to the surrounding area will not be usable. ”

Ran Qiunian nodded, and was about to sigh a few words, but he heard Xiao Yin's face a little solemn and continued: "But a mouse will not have such a great ability, if it is really as you said, the well water of the entire village is polluted, I am afraid that it will fall into a few nests of rats." ”

Xiao Yin's words revealed an unsettling meaning, Ran Qiunian's heart jumped, and he looked at Xiao Yin with a dry smile: "There shouldn't be such stupid mice, jumping into the well one by one......

"There will be strangeness in the well."

Xiao Yin had some guesses in his heart, Ran Qiunian was the same, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

"Then let's go and see what is going on, even if it is not what we think, this stinky well water should be dealt with earlier, lest the epidemic will be worse when the time comes."

Although Ran Qiunian was a little scared, she wanted to know the truth of the matter, she glanced at Xiao Yin beside her, and suddenly felt full of security, with her big brother here, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"If something is wrong, I'd better send you back to the villa first, and I'll bring someone over to check."

Xiao Yin disagreed, afraid that Ran Qiunian would be frightened when he saw something he shouldn't see, and wanted to send people back first. Ran Qiunian shook his head: "Big brother, this matter can't be delayed, let's go and go back quickly." With you, Nian'er is not afraid of anything. ”

Ran Qiunian pulled Xiao Yin's arm and smiled, seeing this, Xiao Yin had no choice but to agree first, the two of them collected the crossbow arrows, came out of the forest, and went directly to the nearby village.

Stepping on this familiar village again, Ran Qiunian felt a little mixed feelings in his heart, most of the people in the village were working in the fields at this time, and there were not too many people in the village.

The two of them found Wang Mazi's thatched hut with ease, and the lock on the door was still hanging there, and there were a lot of rust stains. Last time they didn't go in, but this time, they changed their minds.

"There are still people sent by Sanfang in the dark to watch, you can't go in directly, follow me."

Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian directly to the back of the courtyard, standing still under the high earthen wall, he glanced at Ran Qiunian beside him, and touched this line of sight, Ran Qiunian immediately became excited, and said quickly: "Nian'er will also follow in." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yin thought about it and agreed, although the situation in the house was unclear, it was safer to have yourself by your side to watch than to leave people outside alone, "Hold on." ”

Xiao Yin grabbed Ran Qiunian's shoulder with one hand, hugged her horizontally, and when Ran Qiunian had not yet come back to his senses, his feet were light, and his whole body was as light as a swallow, and he jumped over the earthen wall and quietly jumped into Wang Mazi's thatched house with Ran Qiunian.

It wasn't until Ran Qiunian was put down by Xiao Yin that she came back to her senses, looked at the high earthen wall behind her with some excitement, and admired Xiao Yin even more with light clouds and breezy on the side.

"Big brother is really amazing, it was a light skill just now!"

Ran Qiunian subconsciously spoke up, but the next second he noticed that something was wrong, and lowered his voice and whispered.

Xiao Yin nodded, looked at the little girl's unfinished excitement, pulled the person in a funny way, left the earthen wall, and went to the well.

"I'll check on the wellhead in a while, and you stay under the eaves and don't get too close."

After confirming that there was indeed no trace of anyone in the house, Xiao Yin placed Ran Qiunian under the eaves not far behind him and told her not to run around.

After getting Ran Qiunian's nod, he walked towards the sealed well again. When passing by the courtyard, looking at some scattered traces on the ground, Xiao Yin could already deduce that there had been a fight here.

Ran Qiunian watched Xiao Yin walk to the edge of the well and stand still, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Big brother, be careful." ”

Then, he obediently stood in the safe area that Xiao Yin had assigned to him, not to let Xiao Yin be distracted.

Xiao Yin heard Ran Qiunian's advice, his eyes eased slightly, and the next moment, he leaned out towards the thick manhole cover, and with a little force under his palm, the manhole cover was pushed away by him a little, revealing a deep and dark gap.

In the next moment, Xiao Yin quickly restored the manhole cover, covering up the rancid stench that quickly surged up as the manhole cover was removed. Xiao Yin's face was a little unsightly, he frowned and took a few steps back, looking at the well that he had re-covered.

No wonder he and Sanfang couldn't find Wang Mazi no matter how many people they sent out, it turned out that the person was here and never left.

Ran Qiunian was far away, but he also smelled the stench that gradually spread, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief with a black face, almost nauseating.

Looking at Xiao Yin, who was closest to the well, Ran Qiunian suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him, the eldest brother loves Jie the most, I'm afraid it won't leave a shadow now, right?

Ran Qiunian saw Xiao Yin walking back to her with a calm face, and hurriedly went up to help him fan the wind, trying to dispel some of the residual stench in the air and make her eldest brother feel better.

Seeing that Xiao Yin's face was better, Ran Qiunian glanced at the well with a white face, and asked in a low voice:

"Big brother, down there, isn't it?"

Xiao Yin bowed, according to the degree of pollution of the well water, I am afraid that people have been soaking down for many days. Thinking of this, Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin's faces were a little bad.

"Could it be Ran Susu......" Ran Qiunian couldn't say anything anymore halfway through, the facts were already in front of him, and Ran Qiunian could be said to have seen the ruthlessness of Ran Susu again.

"What to do with this matter? Do you want to tell your grandmother? "Killing someone is a big deal, even Ran Qiunian is a little overwhelmed at this moment, she doesn't dare to take this matter privately, and she can't bear to disturb her grandmother, so she can only ask Xiao Yin's opinion.

"Report to the officer."

Xiao Yin directly gave an answer, Ran Qiu was stunned, and immediately reacted, he was concerned about it, and major matters related to human life must be reported to the government.

No matter what the result is, this matter is Ran Susu's own fault, Sanfang has already separated from them, and grandmother will not be partial in this matter.

"Then let's go and report to the official, just be fast, what we can find, others will also find out, the third aunt has been keeping an eye on this side."

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be a little curious, after knowing about this matter, would the third aunt put on a motherly heart again and refute the court for Ran Suli.
