The pony looks like his mother Cai Zhenzhen, and his facial features are excellent, but he has no temperament blessing, which causes the whole person to look a little greasy and obscene.

The pony walked in with his head down, and sat down on the ground with a "plop" before Chang Tai could open his mouth to ask.

"Where were you when your mother died?" Chang Tai didn't give him time to adapt to the environment, and asked directly: "Answer truthfully, if you deceive, my things here are not good-looking over there." ”

Pony secretly glanced at the torture instruments out of the corner of his eye, leaned over and replied, "Back to the adult, the villain was in the orchard at that time, with the villain's father." ”

"You've been in the orchard?"

"Back to my lord's words, yes."

"What do you do in the orchard? There shouldn't be anything to keep busy in the orchard this season, right? Xing Ruyi asked.

"If you go back to your lordship, you really don't have anything to do. A while ago, the water that should be watered and the fertilizer that should be applied has been applied, and this season, there will be no grass growing on the ground, even if it grows some, it is still a wild grass and does not need to be taken care of. But the villain's father likes to stay in the orchard all day, even if he is in a daze with those fruit trees, he can sit for a day. ””

"Your father doesn't see fruit trees."

"It's not a fruit tree, what is it?" Xiaoma looked at Xing Ruyi, waited for a long time, didn't see her answer, and said to himself: "It's not the fruit tree that I see, it's Tianbei." Anyway, my dad can stay, I can't stay, I look at it for a while, and I feel sleepy and panicked. ”

"Sleepy? Did you sleep then? ”

"No, I just squinted." As the pony said, he dozed off again: "I really squinted, and later, my father woke me up, saying that I went home to sleep, and it was easy to catch a cold in the orchard." And then there's what happened next. ”

"You're so young, it's so easy to get sleepy, don't you stay at home at night? Tell me, what are you doing at night? ”

"What else can I do with me at home." The pony looked away.

"Brother Chang, what do you have here that can make people tell the truth." Xing Ruyi deliberately shouted at the top of his voice.

Pony looked at her, his face turned white: "Don't shout, don't shout, don't use those things, I said, I said, I didn't actually do anything, just spent the night in the gambling house in the city." I didn't bet, I just stood there and watched. ”

"Didn't bet?"

"I gambled, I only gambled a little, and I lost in a while." Dismounted and cried with that face: "The money in the family is in the hands of my mother, no matter how coquettish I am, she only gives me a little bit." Later, I often took a little bit from her money box while she wasn't paying attention, and then took the things from home to the pawnshop to exchange a little bit. Just a little, take too much, I'm afraid my mother and my father will find out. It was just a little bit of silver, and it was gone at the table, and I didn't want to go home, so I stayed inside and watched. I'm not lying, I'm really not lying, and if you don't believe it, you can call the owner of the casino and ask. He is a good person, he knows that I have no money to gamble, he doesn't laugh at me, and he doesn't chase me out, but he also persuades me, saying that he knows my father's money, especially my father's money, which is not easy to come by, just let me see it, don't gamble. He also said that I am not a gambler's material at all. ”

"Not for gamblers...... So what is the fodder for a gambler? Xiao Shengzi asked curiously, "Do you win every gamble, or do you lose every gamble?" ”

"It's the God of Gambling who must win every gamble, but unfortunately, after more than 100 years, you may not be able to meet one. It's the unlucky ones who are bound to lose every gamble, and they are found in every casino, but they are not necessarily gamblers' material. Xing Ruyi explained: "This has poor self-control, is heavy about winning and losing, and is addicted to gambling once, and can't stop dead or alive, this is the gambler's material." This kind of person, once he gets into the word gambling, will be trapped in it for the rest of his life. The family doesn't care about it, and the parents, wives and children are not as important as the gambling cards in their hands. This is usually listless, seeing everyone is unhappy, once into the casino, radiant, eyes are either red or green, just like to pick up gold, until the day of breathing, I don't know how to stop. Ponies, even though they gamble, can control their own hands and feet. He will be a regular customer at the gambling house, but he will not be a regular customer at the gaming table, which is what the gambling house owner really means when he says that. ”

"So that's the case, then I'm definitely not a gambler's material, I'm too stingy, so stingy that I don't want to put a penny on the table. Instead of hoping to make a fortune in the gambling house, it is better to count on sitting on the street and picking up money. Xiao Shengzi straightened his waist: "Besides, if I really have that spare money, wouldn't it be nice to buy a few more meat buns?" ”

"Fragrant, meat buns are definitely more fragrant than gambling cards." Xing Ruyi first smiled at Xiao Shengzi, and then asked Xiao Ma, "How long have you slept in the orchard?" ”

"In less than an hour." The pony hesitates and holds out a finger.

"The last question, your mother was clearly murdered, why did you drag your father to the government to report to the official, saying that your mother was cursed to death by your mother Han Lihua?"

"My mother, was she murdered? That's right, yes, he was murdered. This curse to death can be regarded as a kind of harm. ”

"Your mother was not cursed to death, she was first choked by the neck, and then stabbed in the body and killed. You're her son, you should have seen your mother's corpse. ”

"Yes, but I only looked at it. My father said that my mother would not be blind to death, and he was worried that I would have nightmares when I saw it. It was also my father who said that my mother may have been cursed to death by my mother. My father said that when I left the house with him this morning, my mother was obviously fine, but this time I came back and there was no one left, what else could it be if it wasn't for my mother's curse to death. I also think it's my mother's business, so I followed my father...... Follow my father to the yamen to report the case. ”

After asking for a long time, this pony is a second fool who was fooled by the old horse, no wonder it looks like he is not very shrewd. Xing Ruyi shook his head and said to Chang Tai: "The murderer is not him, let Xiao Shengzi summon Lao Ma over." ”

The old horse walked in with his waist hunched and his head bowed. After sitting down, he was silent, no matter how you asked, he maintained a posture and a movement.

"Brother Chang, why don't we give him some punishment? The one we asked here is dry-mouthed, and he is good, a stuffy gourd. If it goes on like this, even if we ask for next year, we won't be able to ask why. Xiao Shengzi asked in a low voice, Chang Tai glanced at the torture instruments placed on the side, and shook his head at him.

"Wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait a minute, see if she can get along better." Chang Tai turned his gaze to Xing Ruyi.

"Me?" Xing Ruyi pointed to his nose: "Okay, okay, I'll try." ”

got up, walked to the old horse, and squatted down gently: "Uncle Ma, I know, I know that you have not had an easy time over the years, and I also know how much you have sacrificed for this family." You take this step, and you really can't help it, right? You can not answer, and I can also convince Brother Chang that they will not torture you, but do you think this is the way to drag? If you don't tell us the truth of the matter, neither you nor your son will be able to get out of here. What about the home you've worked so hard to build? What to do with those things in your house? And your orchard, what will your son do? I heard from your neighbors that Han Lihua is still very filial to your father-in-law, and she was accused of cursing her mother-in-law to death for no reason, do you think it's appropriate? ”

The old horse finally moved, he raised his eyes to look at Xing Ruyi, but still did not speak.

"Uncle Ma, today may be the only time you can confide in outsiders. There is no one here, and what we say here will not be known by a fifth person. If you think this little Shengzi has a fast mouth and can't keep secrets, I'll let him out and don't let him stay here, do you think it's okay? ”

Without waiting for Xing Ruyi to finish speaking, Chang Tai drove Xiao Shengzi out.

"Uncle Ma, you see, there are only three of us left here, if you still don't want to say it, I won't ask. I'm a girl, and I can't stand my legs when I squat like this. ”

"Have you ever seen a pear blossom? Just the kind of pear blossoms in full bloom? Lao Ma suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"The spring outing is vast, it is the cold food every year, the pear blossom season. The white brocade is fragrant without lines, and the jade trees are piled up with snow. The silent night is heavy, the floating light is hazy, and the cold soaking dissolves the moon. In the heavens on earth, the rotten silver glow shines through. Of course I've seen this pear blossom. ”

Lao Ma didn't know what Xingru was thinking, but there was one sentence he understood, that is, she was describing the beauty of Pear Blossom. There was finally a glimmer of brightness in his lowered eyes.

"The pear blossom is white, as white as snow, and it grows so long on the branches, so soft and weak, that people like it from the heart. I remember that since I was a child, my mother told me that I was honest and stupid, and I would not say anything nice to coax people, hoping that I would marry a girl like Pear Blossom as a lady in the future. My mother said that if I marry, it will be my convincing. I also asked my mother, what kind of girl does this girl like a pear blossom have?

My mother said that she is a woman who is beautiful on the outside, kind in heart, and knows the Gu family, and can bring everyone in the family together, so that everyone can work hard in one place, and live in one place. My mother said that most of these pear blossoms are made up of five, six, or seven in a bunch. It symbolizes the relationship between people. This person, as long as he is like a pear blossom, he will not feel lonely, and he will be like a pear blossom, blooming brilliantly and becoming the most beautiful scenery in spring. My mother is a country woman who has never read a book, but I always feel that my mother is smarter than those who have read books. ”

"My aunt is not only smart, but also very wise."

"My mother is indeed a very wise country woman." The old horse spoke, silent for a while, and suddenly changed his words and said, "But no matter how wise a woman is, there are times when she is stupid." My mother was chosen for me by my mother. Pear? She is clearly a red apricot. At first, she just poked out of the wall from time to time, but later on, she simply stretched out the whole branch. ”
