Chapter Forty-Eight: Finding the Owner of the Bronze Mirror
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Lu Jingxiao also hated indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and immediately agreed to his sixth brother:
"Brother Ke Lian and I will definitely go to Daohe Village as soon as possible to find the owner of this rhombic bronze mirror and avenge her."
Niu Kelian listened to Brother Jingxiao's words, shook his head helplessly, and said:
"In my opinion, the owner of this rhombic bronze mirror may have been killed by Qiu Suo'an and them."
Qiu Suoan kept this rhombic bronze mirror, probably just to show it to Qiu Yuanli to confirm whether the rhombic bronze mirror they wanted to find was this mirror.
Lu Jingshuo understood Ke Lian's brother's thoughts, but he also knew that Qiu Suo'an only left this diamond flower bronze mirror, which must be related to the owner of the mirror.
In his opinion, this diamond flower bronze mirror is indeed relatively ordinary. Because among the bronze mirrors he had seen, there were many more delicate ones than this one. But he had also noticed one thing before that, on this bronze mirror, near the middle, there was a thin scratch, about the length of a grain of rice.
He thought to himself, maybe it was this diamond-flowered bronze mirror that had such a special feature that would inadvertently bring some trouble to its owner.
Now the villagers of Daohe Village can come to the city and only need to show the fish charm, but it is difficult for Qiu Shi and the others to get out of Daohe Village. In this way, he and his seventh brother and Brother Kelian went to Daohe Village, and it should not be difficult to find the owner of this bronze mirror.
Lu Jingshuo made a cup of tea for his seventh brother and Brother Ke Lian, and then walked into the inner room, sat in front of the mirror, changed his face, and changed into a black dress. Only then did he leave the inn with them and go to Daohe Village to find the owner of the bronze mirror.
After Lin Yue returned to the guest room, she took care of her sister and drank some porridge, and went to the kitchen on the first floor to help. It's nothing more than wanting to make some dumplings by himself, and when the dumplings are cooked, he will bring them over to Lu Jingshuo and them to eat.
A few cooks who were busy in the kitchen saw it and said that they wanted to help Lin Yue, but Lin Yue smiled and said:
"I can't make a few dumplings, and they cook quickly. Thank you for your kindness, wait for the dumplings to cook in a while, please help taste it, how does it taste. ”
"The last time you made dumplings for your aunt and mother-in-law, we all tasted them, and they tasted very good."
One of the cooks said.
Another cook listened to it and praised it sincerely: "Yes, the dumplings you make are beautiful and taste good." To tell the truth, it's really much better than what we packed......"
After the dumplings were cooked, Lin Yue was reluctant to eat one, so he still picked out two or three from the empty plate and distributed them to the cooks in the kitchen.
The rest of the dumplings, Lin Yue brought them to the third floor and brought them to Lu Jingshuo to the door of the guest room.
Standing outside the door, I saw several attendants waiting at the door. Lin Yue greeted them politely and said, "...... Please bring these dumplings to your sixth son, and say......"
"Okay." One of the attendants took the plate and replied.
Another attendant gave Lin Yue a look, meaning to let her go back as soon as possible, there are some things that are not easy to say.
Lin Yue understood it, smiled knowingly, and quickly returned to his guest room.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over and knocked on the door and brought lunch to Lin Yue and his sister and sister. She also specially used a small food box to fill some pastries for her little sister, including osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes and other pastries.
In addition, the shopkeeper also brought a string of rock sugar gourds to Lin Yue's younger brother, saying that it was brought back by Niu Gongzi from Daohe Village, and it was specially brought to Lin Yue's younger brother.
Lin Yue smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the string of rock sugar gourds, and said:
"Thank you for helping us send it, and thank Niu Gongzi on our behalf."
In fact, she knew that this string of rock sugar gourds was made by Lu Jingshuo for her younger brother. Because she and Lu Jingshuo went to Daohe Village last night, and by the river, they also ate a few hawthorn fruits that he gave her.
Those hawthorn fruits were all picked by Lu Jingshuo himself.
The string of rock sugar gourds in his hand must have been made by Lu Jingshuo himself.
Lin Yue took the rock sugar gourd to his younger brother, and watched his younger brother eat the hawthorn fruits one by one, and couldn't help but swallow lightly. In fact, she really wants to eat a rock sugar gourd.
Lin Heng only ate two rock sugar gourds, and the rest were kept for his sister and put on the dinner plate.
Lin Yue was also embarrassed to eat these, so he casually made an excuse and returned the rock sugar gourd to his younger brother.
After lunch, Lin Yue packed up the plates and chopsticks and prepared to take them to the first floor to wash. But at that moment, there was a knock at the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a shopkeeper standing at the door and told her that she was here to clean up the plates.
Lin Yue said: "...... I'll clean it up myself. ”
"Don't, you can live here in peace, don't see too much. The shopkeeper has told us to take good care of you. When the shopkeeper said this, he remembered that he hadn't told Lin Yue what his name was.
Only then did he smile embarrassedly and said:
"I'm the same as you, and it's thanks to the shopkeeper that I can work in this inn and live so well."
Lin Yue smiled knowingly and said:
"Well, the shopkeeper treats people really well. If she hadn't taken her in, my younger siblings and I would have ended up on the streets. It's just that the shopkeeper hasn't come back yet......"
Thinking that the shopkeeper hadn't come back yet, Lin Yue was worried about the shopkeeper again.
After all, the shopkeeper Huang is the wife of General Yan I, and General Yan and Senior General Xue are all staying in the city, and there are some things that the shopkeeper goes out to do.
The shopkeeper went to Daohe Village to look for the northern crossbow fines, and within a day or two, it was indeed a little difficult to find all the northern crossbow fines.
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, looked at Lin Yue, smiled shyly, and said:
"Since we all came to this inn for some special reasons, we met in this inn. That means that we all have a relationship with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper often told us that when we get together because we are destined to get together, we have to treat all the people in the inn like relatives......"
When Lin Yue heard this, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and he nodded again and again, and said:
"That's, that's."
"If you have anything, you can tell me at any time, and I will definitely do my best to help you. By the way, my name is Niu Erhuan, and I originally lived in your aunt's village......" Niu Erhuan, the shopkeeper, looked at Lin Yue with a pair of clear eyes and said sincerely.
"Oh, I already knew." Lin Yue said truthfully:
"On the day my brother and sister and I came to the inn, you brought us a pot of hot tea. That day, I happened to hear someone call your name, Niu Erhuan, so I remembered it. I also know that the cow lotus in our village is your distant relative......"
Hearing Lin Yue say this, Niu Erhuan's heart sank slightly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up an embarrassing arc.
Yes, Niu He is his distant relative, and it should be one of his cousins. Niu He was killed, some people say that he bit his tongue and committed suicide, and some people say that Niu He was killed by hitting the wall.
As long as several cooks in the inn mentioned Niu He's death, they would say something about him in passing:
"I really don't understand what the people of your Niu family think. Their own daughters were killed and lost their lives, but they still have to go to the county government to file a complaint for the sake of face, and watch the murderer who killed their daughter go unpunished......"
