"Granny Cui, my mother went out this morning and hasn't come back yet." Li Xin explained.

"Hmph." Mrs. Cui stabilized her mind and snorted, and said, "Su Qi is gone, what does it have to do with me." Do you doubt me? The more Cui Da matchmaker spoke, the louder she became, and she was very angry at Cui Jiu's suspicions.

Cui's husband has been dead for many years, her two sons are plowing the land, and she is left with two daughters-in-law and a six-year-old grandson. Hearing the sound outside the house, the two daughters-in-law and grandson ran out.

His eldest grandson's name was Cui Zeming, and when he saw Li Xin there, he ran over, took Li Xin's hand, and asked happily, "Brother Xin, why are you here?" Before Li Xin could answer, when he saw the tense scene between his grandmother and Cui Jiu, he was so frightened that he quickly let go of Li Xin's hand, hid behind his mother's back, and poked out a pair of small eyes to see what was going on.

Cui Jiu's eyes widened, and he slapped his palm on the wooden stake next to him. The wooden stake is used to dry clothes, there is a thick bowl mouth, and when Cui Jiu patted it, the wooden stake was broken at the waist, and with a "pop" sound, it was smashed into the dry soil, and the soil was smashed everywhere.

Everyone was taken aback by this scene, and Cui Zeming was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. Li Xin said secretly: "Uncle Jiu's palm has at least a thousand catties, if it is matched with his big knife, I don't know what kind of power it is." ”

Mrs. Cui was also frightened, if this palm hit her, this old bone would be explained.

It was still the eldest daughter-in-law of Cui Da Matchmaker's wife who came back to her senses first, and hurriedly said: "His ninth uncle, the seventh sister-in-law is gone, it really has nothing to do with my mother." My mother has been at home today, and Uncle He, whom you saw just now, came over in the morning, and his son wanted to talk about family affairs, so he talked with my mother for a long time. ”

Cui Jiu said in a deep voice: "I'll ask you if this matter has anything to do with you." ”

Li Xin said to Mrs. Cui: "Granny Cui, we don't suspect you, we just want to ask, my mother is gone, have you found any clues." ”

Li Xin also thought about it, Cui Da Matchmaker is a person from the Yinfeng Department of the Ba nationality, and her mouth is a little vicious, but she is not bad, after all, everyone who lives here is a villager from the village. Even if his mother really disappeared, she shouldn't have anything to do with her.

Granny Cui said angrily: "Speaking of which, you still doubt me? Could it be that my Granny Cui is the kind of person who abducts and sells others? You murderers of a thousand knives have wronged me. Mrs. Cui turned from anger to sadness, and couldn't help crying and scolding.

Cui Zeming ran over and pulled Cui's matchmaker's clothes: "Grandma, grandma." ”

Cui Da Matchmaker took Cui Zeming in her arms and continued to scold: "Cui Jiu, you who kill a thousand knives and cut off your brains, you know that you have wronged me, what does Su Qi have to do with you, you care so much, jump up and down for her." Besides, what does Su Qi's disappearance have to do with me, what does it have to do with me? Are you relying on a few strengths to bully me, an old woman, don't you still have a knife? Come, come, kill me, kill me. After speaking, he was about to pounce on Cui Jiu.

Cui Da matchmaker's two daughters-in-law hurriedly came over to hold her. Cui Jiu saw Cui Da matchmaker's play, turned his head and ignored him.

This scene was a bit deadlocked, and the eldest daughter-in-law of Cui Da Matchmaker said to Li Xin: "Li Xin, what's going on?" ”

Li Xin briefly talked about the situation and finally said: "We have lived with my mother in Yinfeng for more than 4 years, my mother is a gentle person, she has always been kind to others, and there has never been a quarrel with everyone. If you say that you have offended someone, it is that you offended Granny Cui 2 days ago, so let's ask Granny Cui. ”

The daughter-in-law still understood a little and said, "My mother-in-law has been at home today, how can it have anything to do with your mother's disappearance?" Besides, my mother is a kind-hearted good person, how can such a thing be done. ”

At this time, the second daughter-in-law spoke: "Mother, today I saw Li Xin's mother." ”

Li Xin was overjoyed, and it seemed that things had taken a turn for the better, so he hurriedly asked, "Where did you see my mother?" ”

Everyone present focused their eyes on the second daughter-in-law, and the light of the setting sun shone on the daughter-in-law through the gaps in the leaves, like the spotlight of the stage, becoming the focus of the stage. The second daughter-in-law was already a little shy, and everyone looked at her and was even more embarrassed.

"Uh...... ......The second daughter-in-law's cheeks were red like a monkey's ass, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Seeing that the second daughter-in-law couldn't hold back a word for a long time, Cui's matchmaker was also anxious, eager to clear her suspicion, and was so anxious that she patted the bamboo chair next to her: "What's the amount, you said it." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law also said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, just say what you see, don't be afraid." He glanced at Cui Jiu again: "Don't look at my brother and sister with murderous eyes, you are like this, my brother and sister are frightened by you." ”

Cui Jiu hurriedly withdrew his murderous gaze, tilted his head to the other side, and pricked up his ears to listen to the second daughter-in-law.

The second daughter-in-law began to talk about the situation: "In the morning, I went to the river to wash my clothes, and when I was halfway through the washing, I saw Su Qijie coming, and she also greeted me, and I asked her what she was doing here?" She said that she had come to find some fine sand, and Li Xin was going to study literature. At that time, I thought, what does studying literature have to do with finding fine sand? You say don't you? She glanced at the crowd with questions.

Li Xin said secretly: "Practice calligraphy on the sand table, the sand is too soft, and you can't practice the pen." The sand is too hard for people who have just practiced calligraphy. He didn't say this, they were illiterate, and what he said was in vain.

Cui Da matchmaker said: "What do you care about? Talk about the point. ”

The second daughter-in-law said, "Oh. When I finished washing my clothes, I saw Su Qijie talking to two people from Miao Village. I didn't think much about it at the time, and I came back. ”

"Miao Village?" Cui Da matchmaker, Cui Jiu and Li Xin exclaimed at the same time.

The three looked at each other.

Cui Da matchmaker said: "Miao Zhai has nothing to do with me, yesterday afternoon, the Yu steward of Miao Village came to me, and I have already told them about Su Qi's refusal." Miao Zhai said they would deal with it themselves. ”

Li Xin said secretly: "Deal with it yourself? If you don't need a matchmaker, what else can you do, you can only use it. This is the salute before the soldiers? Toast without eating and drinking? ”

After Cui Jiu listened, he had a plan in his heart, and said to Li Xin: "You go home first, and I'll go to Miao Village." ”

Li Xin said: "I'm going too, I'm going to save my mother." ”

Cui Jiu thought about it, a Miao tribe, there are only more than 50 people in the young and strong, they are all hunters, and they can do some archery, and they can't be compared with him, a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and it is not a big problem to ask for people. Said: "You follow me closely, don't run around." ”

"Good!" Li Xin said to Mrs. Cui again: "Mother-in-law Cui, then let's go first, I'm sorry." ”

Cui Da Matchmaker snorted, and did not speak, what she thought in her heart was that Cui Jiu, the plague god, should hurry up, as for the matter of going to Miao Village, it has nothing to do with her, what can she do as an old woman in such a thing. It's best for Miao Zhai to teach Cui Jiu a lesson, and whoever tells him to show off his martial arts if he is good.

Li Xin thanked his second daughter-in-law again and thanked her for providing clues.

The two began to walk towards Miao Village, and the sunset pulled the shadows of the two of them long, long......
