Tong Chuxue spent a lot of effort to get the money from the Tong family, but now it is gone!

Before going to bed last night, Tong Chuxue specially checked whether the door was locked, and she also put two chairs behind the door, so that even if someone opened the door and came in, the chairs would make a noise and wake people up.

But she looked around the old mansion, and there was no sign of the gate being moved. Could it be that someone climbed over the wall to come in, probably not, although the old house of the Luo family is a little dilapidated, but the wall is higher than the average home, and it is not so easy to climb in.

Who else can come in in the middle of the night and throw money unconsciously, Tong Chuxue walked around the root of the wall and fell into deep thought.

Here, Xu Jinniang turned over the house several times, but still couldn't find a shadow, and the silver was indeed stolen.

The theft is not only related to the loss of their family's property, but also to the security of the entire Qingshan Village, Tong Chuxue quickly made a decision - to tell Li Zheng about the matter.

The two of them didn't eat breakfast, so they hurried to the house.

When Tong Shan heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "I don't know where the thief came from to dare to come to our Qingshan Village to steal things, if I catch him, he will have to be sent to the government and sent to prison!" ”

As Lizheng, Tong Shan's first reaction was to blame outsiders for the incident.

But Tong Chuxue doesn't see it that way, Qingshan Village is located in a remote area, the surrounding villages are far apart, and Qingshan Village is the poorest among the surrounding villages, even if the thief wants to steal something, it is impossible to pick Qingshan Village.

"Uncle Lizheng, I don't think this thing was necessarily done by outsiders." Tong Chu Snow Trail.

It's not an outsider, it's a villager, if there is a thief in the village, he is also a shameless face, Tong Shan is a little reluctant to believe it, and said vaguely, "Snow girl, why do you think so?" ”

Tong Chuxue carefully analyzed, "My mother and I now live in the old house of the Luo family, which has been deserted for a long time and looks dilapidated. If someone from outside is stealing, they will definitely pick something that looks like they have a solid foundation, not the dirty mess of our house. ”

Her words were not unreasonable, Tong Shan nodded.

Tong Chuxue pinched out a small leaf from his sleeve and held it in front of Tong Shan, "Uncle Lizheng, please look, this is the weed I transplanted from the mountain yesterday, the blades of this grass are jagged, and it is easy to cut people's skin." It's summer, and everyone doesn't wrap their clothes too tightly, and many people have their ankles exposed, and it's easy to get scratched if they don't pay attention. ”

This is reasonable, and it can be regarded as a clue, but Tong Shan is still a little embarrassed, "There is a lot of this kind of grass in the back mountain, if others shirk and say that it was accidentally cut on the mountain, what about it, after all, a wound is not ironclad evidence." ”

Li Zheng's worries are not unreasonable, but Tong Chuxue has already taken measures, she deliberately lowered her voice and made her thoughts clear.

Tong Shan listened, nodded, and agreed to Tong Chuxue's proposal.

At that time, the people in the village gathered in the square in the center of the village one after another, and Tong Shan stood on a big rock, surrounded by Tong Chuxue and Xu Jinniang.

The villagers were puzzled one by one, what was going on in the days when they were not celebrating the New Year, and no one wanted to dry out in the sun on a hot day.

Some of them came early and had already begun to complain, "Lizheng, what is there to call all the people in the village, you see that this person is also almost here, you can hurry up and say it, and hurry back to cook." ”

Li Zheng saw that ninety percent of the villagers had already come, so he cleared his throat.

"I have gathered everyone here today because I have one thing to tell you - there are thieves in our village!"

As soon as these words came out, the people below exploded in an instant.

There are thieves in the village, which is a threat to every family, and it is not easy for the croppers to save some money all year round.

Someone immediately jumped out and said excitedly, "Li Zheng, no matter where the thief came from, since he dares to come to our Qingshan Village, I will tell him to come in vertically and go out horizontally!" ”

There were several strong men in the back who echoed one after another.

Seeing that the crowd was angry, some people had already picked up their hoes and were eager to try to catch the thief, Tong Shan hurriedly waved his hand to let everyone calm down, "Listen to me, this thief may not be from outside the village, but may be from the village!" ”

A few people who were about to rush out with hoes stopped their movements when they heard this, and turned their fingers at Tong Shan, "Li Zheng, you can't talk nonsense, we Qingshan Village are all old residents, we know the roots, and there have been no thieves in the past few decades, so why do you say that you are from the village now." ”

The villagers who did not want to be labeled as thieves cried out for themselves, and Tian Zhaodi was the first to shout.

"That's it, which of our families is not our own farming, who is so bold to be a thief."

"It's all from a village, if you really steal it, how long can you hide it."

"If you are a thief, you will go to prison, Lizheng, you can't talk nonsense!"

……

A group of people began to be a little unscrupulous under impatience, and Li Zheng was also a little annoyed, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Last night, all the silver of Xu Jinniang's family was stolen, except for our village, who else can know that Xu Jinniang has silver in her hand now." I also said it earlier, but it may be from the village, and I didn't say that it must be from the village. And as a Lizheng, I hope more than anyone else that this thief is not from our village. ”

A few villagers whose brains were spinning quickly had a trace of doubt, and Li Zheng seemed to have something to say, "What does it mean?" ”

Tong Chuxue, who had been standing in the shade of a tree for a long time, suddenly took a stride, stood on a big stone, and said in a loud voice, "Here's the thing, this morning, when I got up with my mother, I found that the silver in the house was gone, and only a few copper plates remained. The door of the house has not been moved, and the thief may not be able to climb over the high wall, and my mother and I really don't understand how the thief got in. So, we found Lizheng. ”

But Xu Jinniang was robbed, what does it have to do with the people in the village, doesn't it mean that I don't know who the thief is. The voices of the villagers were endless.

Tong Chuxue knew that the villagers were angry because they were "wronged", but it didn't matter, when the real murderer appeared, this resentment would turn into an invisible sword, leaving the thieves with no place to stand.

She said aloud, "Uncles and aunts, although I don't know who the thief is, I know that the thief has wounds. ”

As she spoke, she took out the leaf just now, "This is what I planted on the root of the inner wall of the old house, this kind of grass has sharp edges, and it is easy to cut through people's skin, and I found that there are several grass blades in the house, stained with blood, so this thief must have been injured." ”

The villagers who often enter the mountains recognized at a glance that the evidence in Tong Chuxue's hand was a common weed in the back mountain, and said disdainfully, "There are many such grasses behind the mountains, if you want to say that the one who was cut by him is the murderer, then I am afraid that most of our village is it." ”

Tong Chuxue jumped off the stone and walked in front of the doubter, "Look at it again." ”

However, although this kind of wild grass common in the back mountains is poisonous, the toxicity is extremely mild, and the basic human body can metabolize it normally, but under the catalysis of Tong Chuxue's ability, the toxin content in the plant has doubled, and even the appearance of the leaves has changed.

The man took a small leaf and studied it over and over, and after a while, he said in surprise, "It looks like it, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, Lao Wang, you come and see." ”

The result of several villagers' rounds of identification was that the grass in Tong Chuxue's hands was a species they had never seen.

With this conclusion, Tong Chuxue jumped back on the stone, "We don't doubt everyone, but we're just worried that if someone is confused for a while, they go the wrong way, and their reputation is a trivial matter, and losing their lives is a big thing!" ”

Everyone suddenly fell silent, and their eyes were focused on Tong Chuxue.

Tong Chuxue slowed down her speech and said word by word, "This weed planted by our family is actually poisonous, once it cuts through people's skin, the toxin will immediately spread all over the body, and it will die violently in seven days!" ”
