Li Rizhi only glanced at the big puddle from a distance, and did not go directly, he still walked towards the fence wall, intending to carefully check the perimeter of the fence wall.

But Li Rizhi didn't go over, but he asked Zuo Lichang: "The puddle used to store water in your house is not deep, will it drown people?" ”

Zuo Lichang hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, the puddle dug by my family, the water depth is only up to the knees, and I usually raise some loaches in it, as well as yellow eels or something, although those things are not worth much, but they are also meat, and it is good to eat them usually!"

Just because there are loaches in the puddle, so there are often children in the village to catch loaches, our family usually doesn't care, they are all villagers, children are greedy to eat meat, and it is not a valuable thing, so we will do as they please, just because there are often children go down to catch loaches, so the puddle can not be too deep, afraid that children are in danger! “

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "It seems that your Zuo family's popularity in the village is not bad, and it can be regarded as a kind family." ”

Zuo Li said: "Our Zuo family must have no enemies in the village, and the neighbors are willing to help when there is something, when I just found out that my sister-in-law was missing, it was the neighbors in the village who helped to find it, but I didn't find it." ”

Li Rizhi circled around the outer wall of the fence for half a circle, and turned to the place of the pigsty, he stopped, he pointed to the outer wall of the pigsty, and said: "You see there are several shoe prints on it, which means that someone climbed over the wall from the pigsty into the backyard, and it is very likely that it is not one person, it is estimated that it is at least two people." ”

Zuo Li Chang hurriedly ran to the outer wall of the pigsty, and after a closer look, he saw several footprints on the outer wall of the pigsty, and it seemed that someone was stepping on the wall of the pigsty, and then climbed into the fence wall.

Li Rizhi looked at those footprints, frowned, and said: "Ordinary petty theft, if you want to steal something, how can you turn over the pigsty, in fact, it's better to kick down the fence wall?"

And there are footprints outside the courtyard, but there is nothing special in the courtyard, so where did the thieves get out after they came in? ”

Zuo Li Chang was quite dazed, although it was a thief who entered his house, but when he came in, he came in, so how did he get out? Even he couldn't figure it out himself!

Cheng Zizi also frowned and said, "That's probably the front yard that I walked to, this is really strange, what kind of thief is this?" It is really strange that they stole four big hens, and then did not climb over the fence wall that made it easier to escape, but preferred to go to the front yard, and they were not discovered by the people of their left family! ”

Li Rizhi didn't speak, he began to walk along the fence wall again, and after a short while, he finished checking the entire fence wall.

Except for a few footprints left in the pigsty, the rest of the place is intact without any special features, and those footprints are definitely not made by the Zuo family themselves.

Li Rizhi said: "It seems that the case was done by an acquaintance, now I am waiting for the result of the inquiry, and see if it is someone from your village who stole your chicken!" ”

After Li Rizhi finished saying this, he walked along the ditch to the big puddle, the ditch is very shallow, the water in it can only reach the calf, not even the knees, there are many bamboos next to the ditch, all of them are some thick bamboos, the bamboo is cut in half, these bamboos are used to receive water, so that the water can flow out of the ditch and flow into the field that wants to be watered.

Li Rizhi has lived in the city since he was a child, although he has also seen farm work in the countryside, but he is very meticulous, and he has no experience in how to do farm work.

Walking along the ditch to the big puddle, Li Rizhi saw that the water in the puddle was not muddy, but he didn't see any yellow eels or loaches, which may have been fished out by the children in the village.

Li Rizhi said: "Do the children in your village love to eat loaches? I know that yellow eel is a good thing, but I rarely eat loaches, how do you make this thing? ”

Zuo Lichang has been following him, listening to Li Rizhi's questioning, he replied: "We don't let children catch yellow eels, but sometimes children catch them secretly, and we can't find them, it doesn't matter, in fact, loaches are delicious."

After catching the loaches, you don't need to clean them up at all, you just need to put the loaches in clean water, stay overnight, let the loaches spit out the mud and sand, drain the feces, and then wait for the next day, put the loaches in the pot, and then put a piece of tofu in the pot, fill the pot with water, so that you can slowly boil the water.

Those loaches are afraid of heat, they will drill into the tofu, and when the water is hot, they will all burrow into the tofu, and when the water boils, after a while, the loaches and tofu will be cooked together, and at that time, the tofu will be fished out, and the loaches will be drilled in it!

If the family is rich, use more seasonings, if the family is not rich, then just use a little salt to eat, this loach has an earthy smell, so not all people like to eat, but some people usually do not eat meat, take loaches to have a mouth, especially children, they are not picky eaters, eat loaches can eat happily! ”

Zuo Li Chang explained in detail how to make loaches.

In fact, he felt that the county magistrate's thinking was very jumpy, and he came here to investigate the scene, basically he didn't ask too much about Huang Meiyu, and all the questions were messy, either asking how his chickens were doing, or asking about the loaches in the puddles, but he didn't know what problems could be inferred from the loaches this time.

Li Rizhi imagined for a moment, when boiling the loach, the loach drilled into the tofu, it seems that it should be a very big tofu, and the tofu is quite expensive, not necessarily much cheaper than the loach!

He still doesn't know how to make this dish, it should be quite simple, but it is estimated that he will take a piece of tofu and boil the pot of water, just like this, the loach may not be delicious!

Just thinking about it casually, Li Rizhi said: "Then look at the water in this puddle, although it is not particularly clear, but you can still see the bottom, but I don't know if there will be something buried in the mud below, you can infer it, will there be anything buried below?" ”

Zuo Lichang suddenly shuddered, Huang Meiyu can't be dead, right?

Then her body was buried in this puddle, this situation is really bad, pray God don't let Huang Meiyu die!

Zuo Li Chang walked to the big puddle, carefully observed the puddle, and after a while, he said: "There should be nothing buried in this, the mud below is still smooth, there is no bulging place, it looks the same as usual, the villain thinks there should be nothing underneath!" ”

As he spoke, Zuo Lichang took off his shoes, pulled up his trousers, got out of the big puddle, and searched for a long time in the puddle, and after looking for a quarter of an hour, he straightened his waist, as if relieved, and said: "Lord County, there is indeed nothing buried in this puddle!" ”
