Ning Yongchuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on An Manyue's small hand holding his sleeve, and there was a strange feeling somewhere in his heart, which was warm and greedy, and he responded in a low voice.

Seeing her hand withdrawn, Ning Yongchuan felt a sense of loss in his heart, and he asked, "Will there be anything else in the Ning family?" ”

An Manyue looked stunned, Su Wan'er is mainly written in the novel, and she will not describe the Ning family carefully, but she will also mention important things.

She grabbed Ning Yongchuan's sleeve with a pale face, and her lips trembled.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yongchuan saw that her expression was wrong, and asked worriedly.

In this world, An Manyue was the only one who believed in Ning Yongchuan, his eyes were panicked, and he trembled: "Fourth, fourth will die tonight." ”

There is only one mention in the original text, Ning Zezhi, the fourth son of the Ning family, did not return home at night, and the body appeared by the river the next day.

"What's going on?" Ning Yongchuan said that he was not worried that the fourth child was fake, he occupied the original body, so he naturally wanted to protect the original child.

An Manyue briefly told Ning Yongchuan about the situation of the fourth child in the article, and then said: "I don't know the specific situation, I remember that after the fourth child was gone, Ning Yongchuan and his wife suffered a big blow, and their health was not as good as before. ”

An Manyue pressed her temples, got out of bed anxiously, wandered back and forth in the house, and said helplessly: "In the book, it is said that the fourth child likes to float in the water, and he will go out with friends today." ”

"It's good to lock the fourth child at home." Ning Yongchuan was much more indifferent than An Manyue, he took An Manyue's hand, which was so anxious, and said in a low voice, "I've been staring at him these days." ”

An Manyue was not at all happy when she heard Ning Yongchuan's words, she sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Ning Yongchuan face to face, and said: "On the surface, the author said that the fourth child likes to float in the water, so he will be drowned, but later the author wrote that a fool in the village said that the fourth child was pushed into the river, which shows that someone deliberately harmed the fourth child." ”

Ning Yongchuan's expression became serious.

"Even if the fourth child dodges this time, that person will definitely attack the fourth child." Xu is fourth child crawled out of the original belly, An Manyue was really worried about Ning Zezhi, she felt very uncomfortable, "I want to find out that person!" ”

"Just take the opportunity to catch that person." Ning Yongchuan held An Manyue's hand, comforted her for a while, and then went out to see the fourth child.

An Manyue didn't have the heart to stay in the house at this time, got up and walked outside, blasted away her daughter-in-law who cared about her, and sat alone on the stone bench under the tree to recall the plot of the novel.

Seeing that An Manyue was absent-minded, Li went back to the house to get his things and went out in a hurry.

Xu saw that his sister-in-law was going out, his eyebrows twisted, he took a bowl of water and cheekily approached An Manyue, and said flatteringly: "Mother, you drink water, did your sister-in-law go out to buy something?" ”

An Manyue raised her eyes to look at Xu, she knew Xu's careful thoughts, but she just wanted to know if Li had taken money from her, so she took the tea and said impatiently: "How do I know this?" ”

Xu is a smart person, he quickly reacted, smiled brightly, and coaxed: "The relationship between my mother and my father is really good, if the old (second) can care so much about my death, I would be willing." ”

"If you're pregnant, don't talk nonsense." An Manyue couldn't help but remind, feeling that Xu's mouth was too unguarded, "It's the right thing for you to take care of your body." ”

"Hey, my mother is right, I'll give my mother a beating on the shoulder." Xu's is really a little panicked now, her mother-in-law has always been partial to her sister-in-law, and now she has let the third daughter-in-law manage the stove room, she is afraid that the second room will not be good in the future, and the only thing she can do is to please her mother-in-law.

An Manyue was comfortable being served by Xu, but when she thought that Xu was still pregnant, she didn't dare to let Xu beat her back more, and beckoned Xu to sit down.

Xu felt the kindness of his mother-in-law, approached An Manyue, and said cautiously: "Mother, you are not in good health, why don't I go back to my mother's house tomorrow to get some game and come back to make up for my mother's body?" ”

"No," An Manyue saw Xu looking at himself expectantly, and instantly understood that it was the old (second) daughter-in-law who was homesick, "Let the old (second) accompany you home, be careful on the way." ”

Xu happily responded, and as soon as he was excited, he began to tell An Manyue all the gossip in the village.

An Manyue was trying to understand the situation here, so she didn't interrupt Xu.

Just as he was listening, An Manyue saw the fourth child hurriedly come out of the house, and walked outside with a run.

An Manyue "chuckled" in her heart, got up in a panic, and shouted at the fourth child: "What are you going to do?" ”

Ning Zezhi looked back at An Manyue and said with a smile: "Mother, I want to go to the mountains with Brother Ergou, and I won't eat at home at noon." ”

Going to the mountains?

An Manyue's eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and the book said that Ning Zezhi's body was found by the river, could it be that she remembered it wrongly?

Wrong.

She was sure that she was not mistaken, Ning Zezhi died by the river in the end, because the Ning family found that Ning Zezhi was missing, so they invited the whole village to go into the mountains to find Ning Zezhi.

"Mother, I'm leaving." Ning Zezhi waved his hand at An Manyue and left without looking back.

"Old (second) daughter-in-law." An Manyue stuffed the twenty copper plates in his sleeve into Xu's hand, and said with a serious face, "Buy tofu and come back, let's stew tofu at noon!" ”

All of Xu's attention was on the twenty copper plates, thinking that he could cut off a few pennies to buy tofu as private money, so he nodded busily.

Sent away the Xu family, An Manyue took advantage of the fact that no one nearby climbed to the wall, and her eyes kept following Ning Zezhi's back, thanks to the fact that there was no one near Ning's house, otherwise she might not be able to see clearly when she stood on the wall.

"Where?"

Ning Yongchuan's voice came from below, An Manyue almost fell off the wall without standing firmly, thanks to the fact that the wall was made of bluestone bricks, which was wide enough.

"Went to the mountains." An Manyue's eyes were always on Ning Zezhi's body, and after waiting patiently for a while, she saw Ning Zezhi follow a woman in green clothes into the mountain.

The mountain was overgrown with trees, and An Manyue couldn't see clearly, so he neatly descended from the wall and walked outside with his feet raised.

"Don't go, I'll go." Ning Yongchuan stopped An Manyue.

"I'm worried about him at home, so I'll go over and take a look." An Manyue stubbornly walked outside.

Ning Yongchuan held An Manyue's hand, his heart beat a little faster, and he said with a serious face: "Follow me." ”

An Manyue's attention was all on Ning Zezhi, nodding and pulling Ning Yongchuan to run quickly towards the mountain.

Ning Yongchuan looked at the hands holding her, his heart was beating faster and faster, and his face was slightly red.

The two of them reached the path into the mountain, and their steps slowed down.

An Manyue said vigilantly: "Let's be quiet, in case we alarm them, it's not good." ”

"Oh." Ning Yongchuan looked down at the footprints on the ground.

It had just rained last night, and there were not only Ning Zezhi's footprints on the ground, but also the footprints of the woman standing with Ning Zezhi.

An Manyue glanced at Ning Yongchuan and said worriedly: "Why is your face so red, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"Running." Ning Yongchuan pointed to the footprints and changed the topic, "Follow the footprints!" ”

An Manyue answered and pulled Ning Yongchuan in.

After about a quarter of an hour, I saw Ning Zezhi standing with the woman in Tsing Yi from a distance.

"Could it be her?" Ning Yongchuan looked at An Manyue suspiciously.

An Manyue lowered her voice, "Not sure. ”

She looked familiar. Ning Yongchuan frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully.

An Manyue always felt that the woman's back was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, a bright light flashed in front of her eyes, she grabbed Ning Yongchuan's arm, and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's the eldest daughter-in-law!" ”

Ning Yongchuan: ......

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan didn't dare to step forward immediately, after all, now there is no evidence to say that the eldest daughter-in-law is ruthless to the fourth child.

After about a quarter of an hour, the fourth child seemed to be pulling something in the grass, and then took off his coat, put the three ginseng he found into his clothes, and followed Li Shi back.

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan hurriedly hid, saving themselves from being discovered by those two people, and the voices of Li and Ning Zezhi were getting closer and closer.

"Sister-in-law, how much can we sell these ginseng for?" Ning Zezhi asked with a simple face.

"Let's not say there are hundreds of taels of silver," Li looked indifferent, glanced at Ning Zezhi, and said, "Hold it, if others see it, the silver in your hand will be gone." ”

"I know." Ning Zezhi hugged the burden in his arms and muttered, "This ginseng really looks like a carrot." ”

Li Shi said "um", "The path we take can get to the town quickly and come back early in the evening." ”

"Hmm." Ning Zezhi nodded happily.

When Ning Zezhi and the Li family walked away, An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan followed, the two of them were afraid of being discovered, so they could only follow from a distance, and they couldn't hear what the Li family and the fourth child said.

An Manyue always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, and said in a low voice: "There are so many ginseng on this mountain, and the fourth child just found five!" ”

This made An Manyue feel that ginseng was Chinese cabbage, and it was all over the place.

"Yes."

"This is not scientific, this side is the periphery of the mountain, even if there is ginseng, it must have been picked by others a long time ago, how can it be their turn?" An Manyue said this, her face turned pale, "Even if there is ginseng, the eldest daughter-in-law has already seen it, and she will definitely let the eldest come over to pick it, how can she bring the fourth child over to pick it?" ”

Ning Yongchuan said: "I'm looking." ”

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan followed Li and Lao Si from afar.

Li and Lao Si arrived in the town without danger.

"Are they really just here to sell ginseng?" An Manyue unconsciously let go of Ning Yongchuan's hand and thought seriously.

"Let's see." Ning Yongchuan always felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Ning Zezhi entered the pharmacy at the behest of the Li family, and came out after a while.

Li and Ning Zezhi divided the money in a deserted alley, one hundred taels of silver each, and then left separately.

An Manyue looked at Li's back dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "They are separated, the eldest daughter-in-law is so money-loving person, she is willing to share the silver equally with the fourth child?" ”
