Mei Xiaotong followed behind honestly, because An Huahao's steps were fast and urgent, where could Mei Xiaotong's little thick legs keep up, but he was embarrassed to let An Huahao slow down, so he had to hold his breath and trot all the way behind him.

At this moment, many people have eaten breakfast and wandered around the village, and there are even big girls and little daughters-in-law who have eaten breakfast, carry the family's clothes, and go to the river to wash.

Naturally, I saw the two of them, and they went to the mountains one after the other.

There is that gossip fast, "See, that kid from the Song family and Erni of the Mei family actually went to the mountains together?" Didn't they quit their families? ”

"Yo, really! What the hell is this! Why did they get together again? Could it be that this Mei family's second mother is not dead yet? ”

"I can't see it, the Mei family's second mother used to be fat and lazy, but now she has lost weight again, she is still learning embroidery, and her family has given a lot of dowries, aren't many people going to Mei's house to ask for marriage these days? Although they are all people who have no money at home and want to make a daughter-in-law's money, it is much better than before when no one dared to come to the door, right? Besides, after the Mei family's Erni lost weight, her waist was thin and her buttocks were big, and at first glance, she was the figure of giving birth to a son, so it couldn't be that the Song family regretted it! ”

……

Everyone is discussing in full swing, the Mei family has been in the limelight in Lingshan Village recently, first the Mei family's second mother was dismissed, and then the fourth member of the Mei family was cuckolded by the daughter-in-law who did not pass the door, and then retreated.

Yesterday, the boss of the Mei family was smashed and broke his waist, and the Mei family is rich, and such an injury must be treated, and it will be replaced by someone else's family, who is not dragged back and waiting for death, where is the spare money.

It's a good thing today, the boss of the Mei family doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and Erni of the Mei family has mixed up with the Song family boy again.

I don't know if this Mei family is too old this year, why do these things come out one after another.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong naturally didn't hear these gossips.

Even if I hear it, I can't care about it at the moment.

An Huahao estimated that he was avoiding suspicion or dripping, and he walked fast and hurried all the way, even if Mei Xiaotong tried her best to catch up, she was left far behind.

In addition, there is dew and slippery on the mountain road in the morning, although there are some sheep intestine trails because people often go up the mountain, but Mei Xiaotong is still tired like a dog.

If it was someone else who led the way on weekdays, Mei Xiaotong would not be the kind of person who insisted on dying to save face, and would definitely ask to rest for a while.

But today it was An Huahao in front of him, and he was worried about the place where the eldest brother had an accident, Mei Xiaotong gritted her teeth and held back.

Even though her legs seemed to be filled with lead, she didn't say anything, just mechanically raised her legs, stepped forward, and climbed up.

In this way, I can only vaguely see An Huahao's back flashing behind the branches.

When An Huahao went up the mountain, he vaguely heard the laughter of those long-tongued women by the river, and with his understanding of those people, God knows what it would be like to see himself and Mei Xiaotong go up the mountain together.

So intentionally or unintentionally, stay away from Mei Xiaotong.

I walked all the way with my head holding my breath, and I was almost at the place, only to remember that there were still people behind me.

Turning his head, he found that there was no one behind him.

Eyes shrunk, what about people?

You won't lose it, will you?

An Huahao frowned, turned around and planned to go down the mountain to find it, otherwise how could he explain if he lost the mountain that he brought on the mountain?

Before I moved my feet, I noticed a movement behind the bushes in the distance, and then I saw a person, really on all fours, "crawling" up.

Mei Xiaotong can't help it, she really has no strength, follow Tianlong and them up the mountain, it's like a suburban trip, stop and go, and it's a smooth road to walk, the explosiveness of this body is not good, and the endurance is still good, so I don't feel too tired.

Today, An Huahao is estimated to be in a hurry, walking on steep and narrow roads, and it is not easy for her to control herself from slipping and rolling down the mountain.

I couldn't help it all the way, and shouted Xiao Tongtong out to complain, "I said Xiao Tongtong, you said yesterday that you are a serious farming system, isn't it good for us to farm honestly?" I insist on carrying private goods and release a hellish country love mission! Let's release it, it's not good, who is not good? I have to be a big pig's trotter like An Huahao! Tell you to cross the line, at first glance, you are not skilled in business! Other people's systems help the host solve problems, you are good, you are creating difficulties for the host! Can't you be a happy single dog when farming? You guys are so good, why don't you just post a harem quest to me? Let me tell you, Xiao Tongtong, you will lose your host like this, you know? ”

Xiao Tongtong was unmoved, "Host, are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about the farming system?" The pinnacle of farming means the pinnacle of life, what is the pinnacle of life? Family and career are not wrong! Only the pinnacle of the career is not the pinnacle of incompleteness! As the most serious and professional farming system, we will never make this mistake! Please also correct the attitude of the host and try to climb this slope first! Friendly reminder, An Huahao has already stopped in front, and the host is still a hundred meters away from the place of the incident! Host, come on! ”

I'll add you a leg!

Mei Xiaotong took a deep breath and looked at the uphill slope of this corner in front of her, which was steep and dangerous, with her current figure, if she wanted to go up, she really had to climb.

Gritting her teeth, she used her limbs together, dragged the bushes next to her, and rubbed them up.

Before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he faced An Huahao's face.

If it was Mei Xiaotong in the past, she was afraid that she would die of shame, and she would not want to live if her sweetheart saw her so embarrassed.

If you are a little less daring, you are afraid that you will be so frightened that you will have to take a step back and roll down.

But Mei Xiaotong had already been prompted by the system that An Huahao was in front, and she was already prepared, so she only glanced at An Huahao lightly, got up, patted the dirt and leaves on her body, gasped for breath, and took out a bamboo tube from the back basket and drank two sips of water.

"It should be almost there, let's go."

Let's do it! ”

An Huahao was about to say the two words of apology, but he was choked back alive.

Touching his nose and continuing to lead the way, this time he deliberately slowed down his pace so that Mei Xiaotong behind him could keep up.

Fortunately, there are not many roads left, turn over this slope, and then go down to the place where Mei Xiaoque dug the yam and had an accident.

When I got closer, I saw a stone the size of a millstone, lying quietly on the ground, the blood stains on the stone had dried up and turned brown, and the soil on the ground was also large and black-brown.

The back basket next to the stone was knocked over, and the yams inside were scattered all over the ground.

Mei Xiaotong's nose seems to be able to smell blood, this is the blood of the eldest brother!

I couldn't help but shudder, forcibly calmed myself, walked to the stone, and observed carefully.

An Huahao took a few steps closer and pointed to the side of the stone to signal, "This is it, you see-"

Mei Xiaotong looked over, and sure enough, half of the stone still had traces of being buried in the soil all year round, and it was dried at the moment, which was especially obvious.

Mei Xiaotong's eyes narrowed, and she gasped, who is it, who is so ruthless?

If such a big stone falls down, if it hits the head, Mei Xiaoque is afraid that he will die on the spot.

But this is not the time to be angry, calm down! Mei Xiaotong is happy at the moment, maybe because she doesn't have so deep feelings for Mei Xiaoque, although she is angry, she hasn't lost her mind!

"Can you show me where the stone fell?" Mei Xiaotong looked around, this place was at the bottom of a slope, surrounded by rocks, and it was really impossible to tell which direction it rolled down from for a while.

"This way-" An Huahao didn't say much, but looked at Mei Xiaotong more, and was a little surprised that she could still be so calm.

But he wasn't a talkative person, so he didn't ask.

Climbing uphill, to the north, and passing through Anwar's guidance, she found that the stone was supposed to be where it should be, obscured by branches and blades of grass.

Lifting these shelters, there is a shallow pit below, and if you look closely, there are some gravel slags next to it, which should be left when the stones were pryed.

An Huahao is right, this is indeed a deliberate murder!

Mei Xiaotong was at a loss, although she found out that someone deliberately murdered Mei Xiaoque, but what happened in the mountains, who can know? Maybe even Mei Xiaoque herself didn't know that she was killed, right?

How can you find the murderer!

Alas, there are no police or anything in this era, but it seems that there is a yamen, can you go to report the crime?

After thinking about it, Mei Xiaotong turned her head and asked An Huahao, "Since it is certain that someone murdered my eldest brother, can I go to the yamen to report the case, please arrest the murderer who came to track down the murderer?" ”

An Huahao was stunned, but he didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to think of suing the yamen.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If you enter the yamen to report the case, you have to pay the money before you can file the case."

, and then I have to give the fast catchers the car and horse fees, the hard work fee, and whether the murderer can be caught, but the silver must be enough! ”

Mei Xiaotong understands in seconds!

In other words, if you go to the yamen to report the case, you have to pay a large sum of silver.

Now, what the Mei family lacks is silver.

What's more, even if the money is paid, this case may not be solved!

Reporting the police is no longer going to work.

Mei Xiaotong is blind, if in modern times, there are surveillance cameras or find a detective agency to find some clues, now, in this deep mountain and old forest, what can there be?

Thinking back hard, what are the methods used to solve the case in the TV or books I watched before?

The first thing that pops up in my mind is footprints.

If it was really a person who prying the stone, then there would definitely be footprints, or there was also a tool for the crime, what was used to pry it?

Mei Xiaotong's eyes lit up, and it was good to have a clue.

"Brother Song, when you found this place yesterday, did you find anyone's footprints? Are there any discarded tools for prying stones around here? "Mei Xiaotong is self-aware, she can only talk on paper, looking for footprints or something, An Huahao is a hunter, can't you look at animal footprints when hunting, it should be no problem to look at human footprints, right?

An Huahao really didn't hide his surprise at this time, his eyes were extraordinarily deep, and Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but take a step back, and there was some hair on his back, "What's wrong?" Am I saying the wrong thing? ”

It's scary! Mei Xiaotong pulled up the siren in her heart, and An Huahao's eyes just now made her feel a trace of danger.

An Huahao was retreated by Mei Xiaotong, and quickly reacted, lowered his eyes, and took a step back without a trace, before saying, "No, I'm just wondering, how did you think of starting with footprints?" ”

The tone was full of suspicion.

Mei Xiaotong froze, and Fang Huahao's abnormal vigilance was immediately replaced by fright, not good, I'm afraid this is going to collapse?

But immediately she thought that An Huahao didn't know Mei Xiaotong at all, even if Mei Xiaotong had pestered him before, he only had a superficial understanding of Mei Xiaotong, so hold on! Don't panic!

Trying to relax herself, Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao very innocently, "Is this strange?" Since someone wants to harm my eldest brother and push a stone down from here, his footprints will definitely be left in this vicinity. And to pry the stones, you naturally need tools, and I just saw some small broken stone slag, which should be used to pry with some kind of tool, maybe metal, because the dirt next to it seems to have been dug up by a shovel or something—"
