Li Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the west, "There are more than twenty households in the mulberry forest." There are about 70 households here. ”

Pei Jinyao stood on tiptoe and looked at Li Zheng's fingers. The small courtyard of the red brick and green tile farmhouse looms in the mulberry forest that has just pulled out the buds and looks like a graceful dancer.

Strange good-looking.

The soles of the boots were too thick and the feet were a little sore, Pei Jinyao held the arm of the mountain rat spirit, "Where are the people who lost their children?" ”

Rimasa waved his hand, "No, it's not." One over there, six over there. ”

Pei Jinyao saw it almost the same, and her heels fell to the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. But it tired her.

"Pei Shenji, please come here." Li Zheng walked up a narrow slope with his hands behind his back, and shouted to a family: "Old man's family, Pei Shenji is here to help you find the child!" Open the door! ”

The sound of heavy footsteps sounded behind the door, "Lizheng, don't coax me. Pei Shenji still cares about looking for children? The wooden door slammed and separated the two sides, and the peasant woman in coarse cloth leaned out half of her body, "His father and Da Shun'er went to the mountains, so I won't invite your old man to come in for tea." Under the melon field and plums, it is good to say and not to hear. ”

Lao Wen and the little spy glanced at each other. How is this girl yin and yang.

Li Zheng straightened his face, "Old man's family, look at who this is?" Across half a step to reveal Pei Jinyao in a Taoist robe behind him, "This is Pei Shen's envoy!" ”

The peasant woman rubbed her red and swollen eyes from crying, "Ah! Is it really Pei Shen's clever envoy? Walked out quickly, opened the wooden gate, and stared at Pei Jinyao up and down, "Like!" It's like! It's exactly the same as what you said by Big Bun. ”

The little secret agent stepped forward to call Qian'er, and said politely: "Sister-in-law, the younger one is Dongchang Ah Fa, this is the only divine envoy of the Divine Machine Division." She came to Yujia Village to ...... I want to help you find your child. ”

The peasant woman had tears in her eyes again, and leaned sideways, "Please come in, please come in." Rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Our little Shun'er likes to listen to the story of Pei Shenji's monster hunting by Da Baozi. If only he were at home...... Woowoo woo ......"

Li Zheng shook his head and sighed lightly, "Xiao Shun'er also has an elder brother named Da Shun'er, and the old man has two sons. Xiao Shun'er was lost, and Da Shun'er and Lao Yu went around looking for it. Alas! ”

The peasant woman's back stiffened, and she squinted in her eyes, "You don't care about this, don't you have to find it ourselves?" ”

Li Zheng swept Pei Jinyao with the corner of his eyes with a little weakness, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Why didn't I care?" On the day the child was lost, the whole village helped to find it. Can...... Now spring ploughing has begun, and every family has a job. You can't do nothing and help you find children, can you? ”

The little agent felt that Li Zheng's reaction was a little unusual. It stands to reason that seven children were lost in the village at once, and Li Zheng couldn't find the one who should report to the official. But...... He didn't report to the police......

The peasant woman was crying while busy serving tea and water to Pei Jinyao, and also set up a small stove in the courtyard to quickly make mulberry leaf sprouts and boiled eggs. The little agent and the mountain rat spirit help her fight each other.

Pei Jinyao sat down next to the small stove without entering the room, taking a sip of hot tea, "This water is sweet ......"

The peasant woman's eyes fluttered with tears in her eyes, "Pei Shenji's tongue is very dexterous. It is true that you love to eat braised duck tongue and eat melon seeds? ”

Pei Jinyao nodded solemnly, "Really." He especially loves wild sunflower seeds. However, my grandmother wouldn't let me swallow it for fear of hurting my teeth. ”

The peasant woman laughed, "There are so many people in the capital. ”

Li Zheng held the tea cup and kept silent.

The peasant woman held the steaming mulberry leaf sprout boiled egg to Pei Jinyao's hand, and dragged a small pestle from the side to sit down, "You taste the eggs laid by domestic chickens." ”

Pei Jinyao curled her eyebrows and said thank you, "Our Shenji Division also raised an old hen. ”

The peasant woman patted her thigh and smiled, "Ouch, the Shenji Division also raises chickens......"

Lao Wen and the little spy talked about the old hen and your brother, which made the peasant woman so much that she couldn't close her mouth. After Pei Jinyao finished eating the boiled eggs with mulberry leaf sprouts, she put down the porcelain bowl and wiped her mouth, and said with a smile: "Your small courtyard is very clean, and you are a clean person at first glance." ”

Pei Shenji is too good at talking. The peasant woman ironed in her heart, "Everyone in the village is the same." ”

Li Zheng said in a deep voice: "The old man's family is famous for his diligence in our village. ”

His words pleased the peasant woman. She gave Li Zheng a smile, pursed her lips and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law......" Pei Jinyao held the peasant woman's rough but warm hand, "On the day your little Shun'er disappeared, didn't there be anyone in the village?" ”

"Nope." The peasant woman held Pei Jinyao's hand back and said very firmly: "If there are more people in the village in the next life, there will be more eyes." Besides, our little Shun'er is most afraid of life, and he won't go with the living. ”

Lao Wen thought for a moment, "What if that person is a villager in this village?" ”

The peasant woman was stopped by him. Zhang looked at Li Zheng with wide eyes and panicked, and stammered and asked, "Yes, could it really be that the people in the village did it?" ”

"No, it won't. The village is full of people. Li Zheng avoided the peasant woman's gaze, "Our village has been peaceful for so many years......"

Pei Jinyao sighed, "It wasn't peaceful before? ”

Rizheng was silent for a moment, "...... before"

"The old man's family!" There were five or six women standing outside the wooden gate, and the one who was about the same age as Mrs. You's son-in-law at the head of the pick, "Pei Shenji came to help us find the child, didn't you?" ”

The peasant woman hurriedly stood up, "Yes, yes." Pei Shenji's helper came. ”

When the women entered the door, they went to get a small pestle and sit around Pei Jinyao as if they were at home, and couldn't help but praise her for being beautiful and capable.

The little spy and Lao Wen were washing the tea bowls and boiling hot water, and they were busy. Finally, everyone had a bowl of steaming tea in their hands, and Pei Jinyao said with a smile: "I just said that our village was not peaceful before......

The peasant woman blinked, "I married into Youjia Village eleven or twelve years ago...... I don't know any further. ”

The women all looked at Li Zheng, who sighed, "Alas, it's been almost thirty or forty years. He raised his hand and pointed to the west, "Well, there is an abandoned house in the west, and Yu Zheng, who originally lived there, has a little ability." ”

What kind of ability is a small skill?

Pei Jinyao looked at Li Zheng in confusion. Li Zheng continued: "It's just that you can tell divinations, look at feng shui or something. ”

"He went to the Taoist temple to learn from a teacher?" Pei Jinyao pinched his fingers and calculated, thirty or forty years ago, he should not have been a god trick. Why do you still want to learn divination?

"There was a Taoist priest from the village who lived in Youzheng's house. You Zheng was eight or nine years old at that time, and he pestered others to teach him all day long. The Taoist priest had no way to be pestered by him, so he taught casually. It was an elderly woman who spoke. In terms of seniority, I have to call her a "second aunt".

"Second aunt, you remember quite clearly." Li Zheng picked up the teapot and refilled her with water, "After the Taoist priest left, Yu Zheng became more obsessed with divination and feng shui." Sometimes, though, he's right. He came and went, and the people in the village believed in him. ”
