With the silver in her hand, Qu Xiaoqi's mind became active, and she especially wanted to renovate the house now.

"Auntie, how much money does it cost to build your house like this?"

Speaking of the house, Aunt Caifeng's face was painful, and she said: "This house was left by my man's ancestors, and it has been sewn and mended for generations, and it will be renovated when it comes to me." Originally, I just wanted to look better and expand a pigsty, but I wanted to spend fifty taels of silver on us! It's like grabbing money! At that time, I sold five pigs cheaply, and I put in a lot of my man's savings and my dowry. ”

The corners of Qu Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, thinking that it was his current income, and if he threw away food and clothing, it was estimated that he would have to wait for a year.

"Xiaoqi, do you want to build a house? Your house can't be used, and it will cost you a hundred taels if you rebuild it. ”

"After waiting for Ah Qing to see a doctor, I thought about saving some money to build a house." Qu Xiaoqi was embarrassed to say that he planned to leave a small property in the capital in the future, so that it would be convenient for future development.

This idea is estimated to be a fantasy in the eyes of Butcher Zhang and Aunt Caifeng.

After Aunt Caifeng arrived at home the next day, Qu Xiaoqi asked Zeng Miaoya to take Ah Qing to the city together, and she would bring food to her uncle at noon.

She was really afraid that Zeng Miaoya and Butcher Zhang would not be able to keep busy, and she also needed manpower here.

The first thing Qu Xiaoqi did was to go to the mountains to see the traps set up before, and he really caught a lot of prey.

Maybe it's because I haven't drunk water or eaten for a day, and I look a little wilted.

At first, Aunt Caifeng was reluctant to enter the mountain, but seeing Qu Xiaoqi insisting, she was not at ease to let Qu Xiaoqi enter the mountain by herself, so she followed.

"Why are there so many hares and pheasants?" Aunt Caifeng looked at the game huddled together in the cave and exclaimed.

"There are no hunters in the village, so there is a lot of game. It's really strange, there are no wild wolves and tigers in the mountains or something? How come they have never been seen attacking people in the village? ”

Aunt Caifeng's hair stood on end by Qu Xiaoqi's words, and said, "Don't talk about this, it's weird and scary, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Qu Xiaoqi looked at the foot of the mountain, which was less than three meters, and estimated that this distance was also the limit accepted by Aunt Caifeng, otherwise she would definitely not let herself enter the mountain.

What's in the mountains?

Qu Xiaoqi's seed called curiosity quietly took root.

There are five hares and three pheasants in total, which can be said to be quite hearty.

Qu Xiaoqi decided to throw what he couldn't eat directly into the lo-mei marinade, and then sell it.

Before leaving, Qu Xiaoqi rearranged the trap again, these game meat are clever, and it is estimated that this trap will not be able to trap them again after a few times.

After that, take some time to make traps elsewhere.

After a busy morning, Aunt Caifeng remembered that there was a little ancestor at home who hadn't eaten.

Qu Xiaoqi had to deliver food to the uncle again, so he didn't leave Aunt Caifeng.

After lunch was ready, Qu Xiaoqi saw a lot of people in a hurry on the way to deliver the meal.

I don't know who has a lively house to watch, and the whole village can know what the people in the village do.

"Baby, why are you still wandering around here? Don't you know? The sow of Butcher Zhang's family is dead! I heard that she is still pregnant with a cub! A woman in her forties accosted Qu Xiaoqi, and the news made Qu Xiaoqi stunned.

Yesterday was fine, but why did a pig suddenly die today?

Isn't Zhang Jiayong at home? What the hell is going on?

Qu Xiaoqi couldn't put it down here, so after handing over the lunch to the uncle, he hurried to Aunt Caifeng.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people gathered over there, and there was a lot of noise inside, and I heard the voice of Aunt Caifeng arguing with someone.

The village chief had arrived, looking at the people in the middle of the crowd with a gloomy face.

Zhang Jiayong looked a little cramped, probably because he was blaming himself for this incident.

"Admit it yourself, or go to the official." Aunt Caifeng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Heh, if you buy a piece of pork from you, you have to go to the official? Is it possible to make a mistake in buying pork? A woman scoffed.

"Yes." The rest chimed in.

I didn't expect that there would be Qu Xiaoqi's acquaintance here, Xihe's sister.

At the moment, her face was calm, and she didn't talk about herself as she had done before.

Qu Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and squeezed into the crowd.

Aunt Caifeng seemed to be much more relieved when she saw Qu Xiaoqi, beckoned to her, and simply told her what had happened.

There were five women who bought meat, and the sow was poisoned, and she put some poisonous weeds in her bowl.

Everyone knows that this poisonous weed will kill people after ingesting it, and there are them in the mountains, and they don't eat game.

Zhang Jiayong said according to Aunt Caifeng, except for someone buying meat, the door is locked.

Aunt Caifeng is afraid that people with unclean hands and feet in the village will come in and steal things, so she has always had this habit.

Those who had the opportunity to be poisoned were the people who came to buy meat, taking advantage of Zhang Jiayong's entry into the house to get meat, and then taking the opportunity to throw the poisonous weeds into the sow's food bowl.

The sow with cubs is best identified, and if the action is faster, Zhang Jiayong will not find the abnormality.

"Auntie, you go to the city and bring the old doctor back, he understands pharmacology, maybe he can see a thing or two. The official is not familiar with the people in the village, and he will not fight for a pig, but will lose the face of the village. Qu Xiaoqi spoke, and then whispered two words in Aunt Caifeng's ear.

The village chief has not left here, and he has not expressed his position for a long time, because he does not want this matter to be publicized.

This made Qu Xiaoqi a little dissatisfied, but think about it, the reputation of the village is indeed very important.

If the reputation of the village is stinky, and then you want to marry a girl from another village, it is basically wishful thinking.

Some old girls in the village who have stayed for a long time for various reasons naturally want to marry in other villages.

It took a long time to go back and forth in the city, but I didn't expect this group of people to see the excitement without the slightest intention of dispersing.

Seeing the old doctor's carriage entering the village, many people sighed for a while, the carriage is not cheap, that is a symbol of wealth.

No one in the village could afford a horse-drawn carriage at all.

"I'm an old man with old arms and legs, you asked me to come and see a pig, or a dead pig." When the old doctor saw Qu Xiaoqi, his displeased words came out.

The little medicine boy didn't come with him, and was forced to stay in the store by the old doctor to look after the store.

Qu Xiaoqi could only show the brightest smile she thought was the brightest, and there was really no more convincing candidate than the old doctor in this regard.

"Alright, let me see the poisonous weeds."

Zhang Jiayong led the old doctor to the dead pig, but the old doctor was not ambiguous, rummaged through the pig food, took out the poisonous weed that had been ground into powder, and sniffed it under his nose.

Then he shook his hand vigorously as if he had seen a ghost, and quickly took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and drank it in one gulp.

glared at everyone and said, "Why are you so lacking in virtue! Let the old man see this! You can't wash it off when you get it on your hands! If you are accidentally injured, you will die directly! Fortunately, the old man brought the antidote, you have something wrong with your brain, right? Feed the pigs this disgusting poison! ”

For a while, the surrounding crowd was talking.

"It seems to be the case, I remember that Wu Da accidentally ate this poisonous weed, and not long after he died, did his daughter-in-law also die of dystocia?"

"yes, the child didn't survive."

No matter how much it is, someone cooperates, and Qu Xiaoqi is about to hold back his internal injuries when he holds back his laughter.

What does the dystocia of a daughter-in-law have to do with poisonous weeds? It's really speechless.

Qu Xiaoqi coughed lightly and said, "Since this is the case, things will be easy to handle." Zhang Jiayong, go get a knife and cut their fingers one by one. ”

Zhang Jiayong swallowed his saliva, he didn't understand medical science, what the doctor said was anything, he was a little scared at the moment, and said: "If someone dies, wouldn't I ...... Killed? ”

The old doctor swore and took out the medicine bottle and said, "It's okay, as long as you take the antidote within the time of a cup of tea, you can save your life." ”

Qu Xiaoqi said secretly, the old doctor is really an acting school, and he really stunned this group of people.

Scratching a hole in their hands for no reason, even if it was to clarify themselves, this group of women was unwilling.

They think they have a reason, don't they just buy meat? They didn't do anything wrong.

Only then did the village chief scold: "What? What do you guys do here? Isn't there nothing to do if you honestly let the baby make a cut? Could it be that you really want to go to the official? ”

The village chief opened his mouth before the group of people reluctantly stretched out their hands, and then left a small wound on their own hands.

Zhang Jiayong just pricked it, and it coagulated without leaving much blood.

When I arrived at Sister Xihe, I didn't know the strength that this old woman had brought, so she cried wolf and pushed Zhang Jiayong.

directly pushed Zhang Jiayong to the ground, and with such a collision, the knife in Zhang Jiayong's hand cut a big hole in the old woman's hand.

Blood flowed outward, and the old woman's face turned white at once, obviously frightened.

The kitchen knife used by Butcher Zhang's to cut meat is not the modern thin kitchen knife that can be split by cutting bones, so it sharpens quickly.

"Knife cut pig's trotters." Qu Xiaoqi suddenly thought of this picture in his mind, so he said provocatively.

The old lady didn't have the time to take care of Qu Xiaoqi, and went directly to the old doctor to grab the bottle of 'antidote', but at this moment, she suddenly stretched out a big hand and took the antidote away.

The owner of this hand drank the antidote, and his appearance made everyone stunned.

The stubble-faced man seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The old woman burst into tears, sat down on the ground and sprinkled, "You one who has been cut a thousand times! I went to the battlefield as a deserter, and came back to eat and drink mine at my house! Now you're going to kill me! ”

The shrill voice pierced the eardrums of everyone present, and the word 'deserter' reminded many people in the village of who this sloppy man was.

The man's gaze looked at Aunt Caifeng, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Aunt Caifeng had a gloomy face and said, "I really misjudged you back then. ”

"Caifeng! Not what you think, I ...... I ...... "The man stopped talking, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to explain it."
