After that, the two of them walked in the door and began to busy their work.

Zijin settled yesterday's accounts and followed Sister Wei out in a carriage. There was also tea and snacks brought by Sister Wei in the carriage, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way towards the village.

"Sister Wei, I heard outside the store just now that the flowers at your door were not sent by Huang Gongzi."

"Not him, are you sure?"

Of course, Huang Gongzi also asked his entourage that the flowers they said were not sent by them. No one admits it. ”

"That's weird, could there be someone else who has a crush on me?" After speaking, Sister Wei was amused by herself. "Look at me narcissist."

"It seems that this flower has become a mystery." Zijin said.

"Speaking of mysteries, there is another thing that is very strange today. Do you remember that Huang Gongzi grabbed my arm just now and then screamed to let go, and his hand was injured, right? ”

"Of course I remember, but I didn't see how he got hurt, didn't you get it, Sister Wei?"

"It's not me, I also wondered why he suddenly let go, I didn't see any murder weapons flying over and hitting him, why was his hand injured?"

"Injured without even a murder weapon? It's really weird. ”

The two of them chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of the village they were going to.

"Woohoo, woohoo." The wild dogs at the entrance of the village are barking.

"Why are there so many dogs barking this time!" Sister Wei said suspiciously.

"There are wild dogs in every village, isn't it normal for dogs to bark?" Zijin asked.

"It's normal, but I've been to this village for several years, and I didn't have so many dogs barking when I came before. Right? Lao Wang? Sister Wei asked the coachman.

"Yes, I haven't seen many wild dogs in previous years, and I haven't heard a few barks." Lao Wang replied.

"Then let's hurry into the village, the province has been bitten by dogs." Sister Wei said.

"Then you two hurry into the village, and after I park the carriage, I will go to the house where I used to live as in previous years and wait for you."

After getting out of the carriage, Sister Wei and Zijin were about to go to the village, when a person immediately greeted her and said, "Miss Rose is here, and she is disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Village Chief Li doesn't have to be polite, I'm here to collect the clay money that the village owes to my family this year, this is Miss Zijin who helps me take care of the accounts, I'll bring her with me today."

"Then please ask Miss Rose and Miss Zijin to take a break, as in previous years, I will go to each house to collect the payment first, and I will come back to you after each family hands over the money to me, and you will reconcile the accounts."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Village Chief Li first."

"This is what I should do"

Then, under the leadership of Village Chief Li, Sister Wei and Zijin came to a house that looked good, and said, "Then please ask the two young ladies to go in first to rest, and I will come back in a while." ”

"Okay, then you can get busy."

After saying that, Village Chief Li left.

Sister Wei and Zijin entered the house, and Zijin found that the house was very clean, and it felt like no one was living there.

"This is a special place in the village to entertain guests, and every year I come here to collect the bills, stay one night and go back the next day." Sister Wei said. "Let's just rest here and wait, and when the village chief comes back, we will have to reconcile the accounts."

"It's good to reconcile the accounts for a while, you should be able to go back today, why do you have to stay one night."

"This collection is not all at once, and sometimes the villagers don't have enough money, so we have to wait for them to get it together, so we may have to wait for another night."

"I see. Why hasn't Lao Wang come yet? ”

"Lao Wang went directly to the room prepared for him in the back, and the two of us will stay here tonight."

After a while, Village Chief Li came back, holding a list of monthly coins and the amount of money paid by each family. Zijin checked the account book against the list, and there were two families who had not handed it over, and asked the consequences as Sister Wei said, these two families will send the money tomorrow morning.

After finishing these, it was also dark, and after dinner, Zijin and Sister Wei were temporarily idle.

Sister Wei asked Zijin: "There is a place I want to go to, do you want to go together?" ”

"Okay, let's go, let's take a walk after dinner."

After speaking, Zijin followed Sister Wei to a somewhat remote place in the village. There is a tree here, and there is a place at the base of the tree that has a circular pattern of stones, but at first glance it is not new, the stones are already black and cracked, and several stones are missing from the circle.

Sister Wei first looked around for some stones, then squatted on the ground and used the stones to repair the circle she saw. Then he plucked a small white flower from the side of the road, and took out a small sun-dried yellow croaker from his sleeve and placed it in the center of the circle.

Zijin asked curiously, "Sister Wei, what are you doing?" ”

Sister Wei didn't answer her question, but asked, "Do you know what this circle is?" ”

"I don't know."

"This is a small tomb."

"Since it's a tomb, who made this tomb?"

"I did it, and there's a white cat I met five years ago buried here, and it has green eyes, so I named it White Jasmine. Five years ago, when I first started helping my father manage his accounts, it was the first time I came to this village. ”

"And after that?" Zijin asked.

Sister Wei stood up, patted the dust on her skirt, and continued: "I was quite playful at that time, so after the reconciliation, I wandered around this village in my spare time, and found jasmine in a corner, and I liked it very much when I saw its snow-white hair and green eyes, and I wanted to be close to it. At first it was scared when it saw me, and as soon as I got close it ran away. Then I followed it with a dead face, and then tempted it with the little dried fish I was carrying, and it got a little closer to me. For the next four years, whenever I came, I would always look for Jasmine and feed it dried fish. I felt as if it was waiting to meet me, because Jasmine would be waiting for me under this tree, and this is where I first met it. Sister Wei recalled: "When I came last year, I saw that Jasmine was injured, and the snow-white hair had turned blood-red, and I wanted to take it back to the town for healing, but before I could leave, it died, so I buried him here, made a grave for it with stones, and left it with small dried fish." This year is coming, I'm going to come over and have a look, and by the way, I'll get some dried fish for it. ”

"Then do you know why Jasmine got hurt?" Zijin asked.

"I don't know, it was very injured when I found it, and I don't know why. Okay, now that we've seen Jasmine, let's go back! ”

After saying that, the two of them were ready to go back to where they stayed tonight.

"Woohoo, woohoo." Two wild dogs rushed out of the grass and barked at Sister Wei and Zijin, they looked at the two fiercely and gritted their teeth. Seeing the two wild dogs, they rushed over to bite the two of them, but in the blink of an eye, the two dogs suddenly became frightened and fled backwards with their tails between their legs.

This sudden change made Sister Wei and Zijin confused, and Sister Wei said, "Let's go back quickly, don't wait for the dog to come back." ”。

The two of them returned to the place where they stayed tonight, turned on the lights, quickly locked the door, and checked and locked the doors and windows.
