In the next few days, Li Tao did not skip school and honestly went to a private school. But Fan Changfeng tasted the sweetness, and always shouted to go to the county seat again.

Every time he got out of school, Li Tao led Fan Changfeng to practice martial arts in front of his house. In addition, Li Tao began to teach Fan Changfeng mental arithmetic. Of course, you have to start with Arabic numerals.

In later generations, Li Tao, like all children, was forced by his parents to participate in various tutoring classes. Among them, there is a mental arithmetic class, but Li Tao is extremely uninterested in it, and he only persists for less than two months before giving up halfway. Although he is not good at learning, he still knows the mental arithmetic formulas and methods.

Originally, Li Tao didn't expect Fan Changfeng to learn mental arithmetic, and even he knew the difficulty and retreated, not to mention that Fan Changfeng had never been in contact with mathematics, so everything had to start from scratch. Who knew that Fan Changfeng's performance was beyond Li Tao's expectations, he was extremely sensitive to numbers, and he mastered all the mental arithmetic methods and formulas in just a few days, and the effect was wonderful. Li Tao didn't expect Fan Changfeng to be a genius, if it were timely, Fan Changfeng would definitely become a master of mental arithmetic.

……

Early in the morning, Fan Changfeng smiled and said to Li Tao: "Ah Tao, I won't go to the private school today, I brought money, let's go to the county seat to play!" Luckily? ”

Li Tao was a little hesitant, not only did he not blame himself for skipping school last time, but supported him to do what he liked, which made Li Tao feel a little ashamed of his mother, so he obediently went to the private school these days.

"Ah Tao, the recipe you gave me really works, I haven't wet the bed for a few days, shouldn't I celebrate it?"

Only then did Li Tao understand why Fan Changfeng was so happy.

"Besides, I didn't pay for Uncle Xu's dog meat last time, shouldn't I make up for it? I don't want people to say we're eating white food! Fan Changfeng saw Li Tao's hesitant expression, and then said.

"I'm afraid you're not thinking about giving money, but worrying about Uncle Xu's dog meat, right? Haha, let's go, go to the county seat! Li Tao heard Fan Changfeng mention dog meat, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach had already been hooked out, and he joked about Fan Changfeng, so he followed Fan Changfeng.

To go to the county seat, they had to pass by Mr. Xu's house, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng decided to hand over the money they had for eating dog meat last time to Mr. Xu before going to the county seat.

The two of them came to the door of Mr. Xu, the door was still closed, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng did not have the restraint of last time, and knocked on the door generously.

The door opened, and Mr. Xu appeared in front of the two.

In just a few days, Mr. Xu has aged a lot, his face is full of gloom, how can he still be as hearty as he saw last time.

"Oh! It's two little Langjun, I don't know what is going on with you? Old Uncle Xu's voice was hoarse, obviously remembering Li Tao and Fan Changfeng.

"Uncle Xu, we ate your dog meat last time, and we paid for it today!" Fan Changfeng said sincerely.

"It's all their own food, how can they collect money? Two little Langjun, if something happens in the old man's family, I won't leave you behind, let's go! ”

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he was about to cover the courtyard door and go back to the house.

Li Tao hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Uncle Xu, I don't know what you mean by the change?" ”

Uncle Xu listened to Li Tao's question, and sadness appeared on his face: "Don't say it!" ”

"Uncle Xu! As the saying goes, one person counts short, two people count long, you tell me to listen, maybe we can give you ideas! ”

Perhaps it was Li Tao's sincerity that moved Mr. Xu, and he sighed: "Two little Langjun, please in the house!" ”

"Uncle Xu, what's going on?" As soon as the three of them entered the grass house, Li Tao couldn't wait to ask.

"Xiaozhen, she ......" Uncle Xu choked up as soon as he spoke.

"Sister Xu? Sister Xu, what's wrong with her? ”

Li Tao and Fan Changfeng understood that the Xiaozhen in Xu's mouth was naturally his daughter Xu Xiaozhen, that is, Sister Xu who invited them into the house to eat dog meat last time.

"Xiaozhen, she killed someone, was detained by the county government, and she will be beheaded in a few days! This miserable child! Uncle Xu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"What?"

Li Tao and Fan Changfeng were taken aback, they didn't expect that the enthusiastic and generous Sister Xu would kill someone. The news was so shocking that the two of them didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long time, Li Taocai asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Xu, can you explain in detail?" ”

After listening to Mr. Xu's narration, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng learned what happened.

Xu Xiaozhen's mother passed away early, and Mrs. Xu did not remarry, and pulled Xu Xiaozhen alone. The father and daughter depend on each other, and the son is doing well.

Zhong Da and Xu Xiaozhen in the neighboring village are two adults who have been married to each other since childhood, a few days ago, that is, the day after Li Tao and Fan Changfeng finished eating dog meat, Zhong Da came to Xu Xiaozhen's house with two candy bags, and it happened that Xu Laozhang was not at home.

When the future husband comes to the door, he always has to socialize according to the custom. The easiest and most polite way to entertain a son-in-law in the countryside is to boil poached eggs.

When Xu Xiaozhen saw Zhong Da, his two big watery eyes peeked from time to time, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw him with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Xu Xiaozhen's face was red, and without saying anything, she went to the stove to boil eggs.

When Zhong Da saw his future lady, his heart was also pounding, and he walked out of the house shyly, standing outside the door in a daze and waiting for Mr. Xu to come back, but from time to time he turned his head to glance into the grass house.

After touching a bag of cigarettes, Zhong Da saw that the chimney in the house was no longer smoking, and thought that the eggs were cooked, so he moved into the house. I saw a bowl full of poached eggs on the table, the fragrant heat went straight to the roof beam, a pair of chopsticks were placed on the side of the bowl, and a small wooden chair was placed next to the table, but Xu Xiaozhen was missing. Zhong Da took a look into the boudoir, it turned out that Xu Xiaozhen had cooked poached eggs, and because he was too shy to call Zhong Da, he hid in the boudoir and dressed up, and his face was red with shame.

Zhong Da happily sat down and ate poached eggs, one bite at a time. While savoring, he kept glancing into the room, Xu Xiaozhen lowered his head shyly, and gently closed the door, but did not cover it tightly, leaving a crack.

This clock just put down the egg bowl, and before he left the table, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and fell to the ground with a "bang" and rolled around, "Daddy, Mommy" kept screaming, and after a while, his face, lips, and nails were bruised, and he lost his breath after a while.

When Zhong Da's parents heard that their son had gone to visit his father-in-law and died suddenly, and Mr. Xu was not at home, they thought to themselves, how could they eat the poached eggs cooked by their daughter-in-law before they passed the door and return to Huangquan? The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, and Zhong Da's parents reluctantly sued Xu Xiaozhen.

The county order sent someone to investigate the autopsy, and Zhong Da was undoubtedly poisoned, but why did Xu Xiaozhen poison her fiancé and where did the medicine come from? Drugstores within a radius of dozens of miles have not found that she went to buy poison.

When the county order was in trouble, there was another strange thing in Xu Xiaozhen: it turned out that when the mother-in-law checked Xu Xiaozhen's lower body to verify her chastity, she resisted desperately. How could the copyist woman have seen such a stubborn girl, so she insisted that Xu Xiaozhen had broken through. The county order concluded that Xu Xiaozhen poisoned her fiancé because she had a husband, and she would be beheaded according to the "Tang Law".
