Chapter 15: The Mystery
Fang Sheng sent someone to tell them that they didn't need to go to Fang's house for the time being.
Li Yan felt that something was wrong and went out to find out the news.
Mu Bangxiang was not idle, she went to the street to buy some cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant rapeseeds, and took Mu Sanwei to the back house to reclaim the wasteland, and Mu Bai also followed.
Although the open space in the back room was large, there were many small pebbles on it, and the three of them had to pick up the pebbles first.
After a while, Mu Sanwei stopped drying, and shouted in his mouth: "My waist hurts so much." ”
Mu Bangxiang wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, looked at Mu Bai who was working hard, and looked at Mu Sanwei with disgust.
"You can't even compare to an eight-year-old."
Who knows, Mu Sanwei simply lay upright on the ground, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Seeing Mu Bangxiang, she was immediately annoyed, and just wanted to scold, she saw Mu Bai waving at her.
Mu Bangxiang walked over suspiciously, only to hear him whisper: "Do you have a very ugly cloth tiger?" ”
The memory of Feng Chen's memory was gradually opened, and in the first few days of the time, Mu Bangxiang always felt that God was unfair, she worked hard for half her life to open a restaurant, but she died inexplicably like that, thinking of this, she couldn't help crying all day and all night.
In order to make Mu Bangxiang happy, Mu Sanwei tried his best to make a grimace and keep talking to her, he heard from somewhere that little girls like puppets.
So Mu Sanwei threaded the needle and thread, and began to make a puppet, about a month later, he finally sewed out a very ugly cloth tiger, the stitches were crooked, and the threads were everywhere.
Mu Bangxiang was very disgusted, but when she saw the dense needle holes on his ten fingers, she was very moved, and at that time she was even more determined to treat him as her own father.
In the following years, Mu Sanwei has always been good to her, except for the matter of Cuihuayuan.
Looking at her appearance, Mu Bai had already guessed, and he continued: "Daddy doesn't say anything, he always holds the cloth tiger in a daze at night, and often mutters in his mouth, how are you doing?" ”
Mu Bangxiang frowned: "Then why didn't he redeem me?" ”
Mu Bai glanced at Mu Sanwei, who was sleeping soundly: "I don't understand, every time I win enough money, he will always gamble and lose all his savings." ”
"You're young, don't be fooled by him." Mu Bangxiang felt that Mu Sanwei was holding the cloth tiger, and eighty percent was to make up for the guilt in his heart.
While the sister and brother were talking, Li Yan came back, his face was very ugly: "Fang Sheng is dead." ”
Mu Bangxiang was completely blinded: "Say it quickly, what's going on?" ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "When I went to Fang's house, I found that I was surrounded by officials inside and out, and after inquiring, I found out that Fang Sheng went to Fang's mansion to intercede yesterday, but Wang Fu's guards in the mansion directly knocked people out of the mansion, and not long after we left, Fang Sheng died." ”
Mu Bangxiang felt a little strange, and couldn't say it.
Li Yan continued: "That guard went to the yamen today to surrender, saying that he was instructed by Wang Fu to secretly beat Lin Yu and Wang Fu to death. The lord of the government ordered Liu Yi and others to surround the Fang Mansion. ”
It was really a wave of unevenness, and Mu Bangxiang asked, "Then have you seen Fang Sheng's soul?" ”
Li Yan shook his head: "According to common sense, Fang Sheng died in Fang's mansion, and his soul should be there, but I didn't see it." ”
"What's next?" In the face of such a confusing plot, Mu Bangxiang had already turned into a ball of paste, and at this moment she deeply felt that it was better to cook simpler.
Li Yan pondered for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Liu Yi said that the snake charmer only has a family surnamed Wang on the side of the Heishui River in the north, and I want to go and see it." ”
"I'll go with you." Fang Sheng is dead, and now the only hope is Lin Yu's reward, and Mu Wanxiang is not at ease if he doesn't follow him personally.
The Heishui River is in the north of Wudong Mansion, and the water and grass on both sides of the river bank are overgrown, and the place is very remote and sparsely populated.
When the two arrived, they quickly found the family surnamed Wang, because there was only this family.
Mu Bangxiang shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Someone is home? ”
No one answered, she asked several times, but no one came out, and the two went straight into the house.
The tables and chairs in the hall are very ordinary, and the room on the left hand side has earthen kang and a few old wooden boxes, which are nothing special.
As soon as I walked into the room on the right, I heard the sound of "Sisi" from a distance.
The two glanced at each other, and Li Yan said in a deep voice: "You step back, I'll open the door." ”
Mu Bangxiang obediently took a few steps back, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance, staring intently at the door.
"Bang dang" Li Yan kicked in a fly, the door fell in response, and a black shadow flew towards the wooden incense behind him, and he reminded loudly: "Be careful." ”
Mu Bangxiang opened his hands and grabbed it in the void, and he really caught it.
It was a finger-thick black snake, and its scarlet eyes were staring at Mu Bangxiang, and from time to time it spat out letters at her, as if to warn.
"You're not afraid?" Li Yan was amazed by Mu Bangxiang's skills, and felt even more incredible that there were women in the world who were not afraid of insects.
Thanks to the teachings of the Chinese master, if you want to learn cooking well, you must first have a good physique and broad knowledge.
In the first year of studying cooking, she ran around with her master, and catching snakes was also a common thing.
"I've even made snake soup!"
A figure suddenly appeared in the room, and Li Yan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and stretched out a foot.
The "snap" man tripped and fell, his face was on the ground, and he fell firmly, and he let out an "oops" in pain.
Li Yan carried the man's placket and picked it up directly, the man had a dark face, short and concise, wearing brown linen clothes, and at first glance he was a person who begged for a living by the water all year round.
"Wang Xiaoer, say it!"
Wang Xiaoer bit his lip and didn't want to speak, Mu Bangxiang shook the poisonous snake in his hand at him: "You should know best, if you are bitten by this little thing, what will be the consequences?" ”
The moment the red snake letter touched his cheek, the cold and slippery mucus made Wang Xiaoer completely collapse, and he shouted in horror: "I said, I said everything." ”
Mu Bangxiang grabbed the snake and took a few steps back, Wang Xiaoer couldn't wait to say: "Mrs. Wang actually knew about Lin Yu for a long time, she secretly sent someone to find me, and asked me to sneak into the Fang Mansion and release the poisonous snake to bite Lin Yu to death." ”
"No, if Wang Fu asked you to release poisonous snakes, why did you have to bring someone to the door?" Mu Bangxiang pinched the snake's head and slammed it in his face, "You give me honesty." ”
"Take it away, this snake is very venomous." Wang Xiaoer tried his best to hide back, but unfortunately Li Yan's hand firmly restrained him, so that he had no way to hide, "I didn't lie to you, Mrs. Wang asked me to do it on the third day of junior high school." I don't understand why she went that day. ”
Mu Bangxiang glanced at Li Yan, who was standing aside: "Do you believe what he said?" ”
"This kid is very afraid of death, he was forced by you like that, and he should be telling the truth." Li Yan looked at Wang Xiaoer who was lying on the ground, trembling.
"Is Wang Fu a murderer?" There is evidence and purpose, according to reason, it should be Wang Fu's doing, but Mu Bangxiang feels that things are not simple.
Li Yan didn't answer this, but just said that he would send Wang Xiaoer to the government office first, and then go to Fang's house at night.
