Chapter 170: Neighbors
The dark two are dead, and the best result they can think of is that the person will be caught, and they never expected that Ayu would escape this catastrophe.
Afterwards, Dark Three took people to find a place to bury Dark Er and Tao Shopkeeper, and asked Xianglan and Xiangping to stay and find someone along the river, and he took Dark Eight Nine to Linxian to inquire about the situation.
When they separated, the two people agreed, but when they found the traces of the mother, they sent a message to each other, and at the same time, they also had to send someone to report to the master who was in Ma Ta Pass.
In Pingxian, when it was about to get dark, Ayu went out of the door, she carried a basket to the rice grain store not far from the alley and bought some rice noodles, seasonings and dried vegetables.
There is no food to sell at this time, so I can only make do tonight.
Back in front of the courtyard gate, Ayu was taking the key to unlock the lock, and Third Sister Fang happened to come out of the next courtyard with a small cloth bag.
"Girl, what about going out to buy something?"
She said that she had come to Ayu, stared at her big belly and said, "It's been this month, and your man is not here, so it's better to ask someone to take care of it, so as not to tire your body." β
This person is the one who helped Ayu introduce the yard before, he lives next door, her yard is also rented, the family lives here, the man and his son and daughter-in-law have a tofu shop on the other side of the street, and the third sister and the youngest daughter are usually at home.
"Auntie, I'm not very familiar with this side when I first came to Chadao, so I'll wait for my man to come back later, and let him arrange it for me."
Ayu said to the outside world that her husband is a merchant, and now she is running a business in Pinghuai, she originally lived in the countryside, and her mother-in-law went not long ago, leaving her alone to come here, and wait for her husband to come back to find her when she rents a house.
"Your man's heart is too big." Third Sister Fang sighed and said, "Please help you go out to buy some food, it's good to cook, and you don't have much money." β
Ayu smiled, "Auntie, let me think about it." β
"That's it, it's almost born, don't tire yourself out, you have to take care of the child then." Third Sister Fang folded her sleeves and said with a smile, "I don't have any vegetables so late, I still have cabbage and tofu at home, get you some." β
Sister Wan said that she had gone back to her yard and planned to take the vegetables, but Ayu couldn't stop it if she wanted to, and finally thought about it and went back to the yard to put down her things and counted more than a dozen copper plates.
After a while, Ayu heard someone knocking on the door, she went over to open it, and found that it was not Aunt Fang, but a fifteen or sixteen girl.
"Sister Cheng, my name is Xia Tao, and my mother asked me to send it over."
Xia Tao was stunned at first when she saw Ayu, and then said with a smile.
Ayu came here and hid her surname, calling her surname Cheng to the outside world.
The eldest girl in front of her mentioned her mother, and Ayu knew that she was Aunt Fang's youngest daughter, so she hurriedly smiled, "Thank you, I'm sorry to take your family for nothing, there are some silver coins here, you can keep it." β
Ayu stuffed the money into her hand, Xia Tao excused herself and accepted it, and said that she would come to her tomorrow morning to buy vegetables and call her, and if she wanted to eat tofu, she could take it directly from their house.
Ayu smiled and waited for the people to leave before closing the courtyard door.
The family next door was so enthusiastic that she always felt a little uncomfortable.
However, when I first came here, others showed favor and it was not good to refuse at will.
Ayu looked at the vegetable basket in her hand, there was a cabbage and a piece of tofu in it, she could paste a few cakes to make a bowl of soup, and it would be enough tomorrow morning.
At that time, Xia Tao went back and did not hand over the copper plate given by Ayu, but put it into his pocket.
"Peaches, the dish has been delivered?"
Third Sister Fang stood at the door of the kitchen with a water scoop.
"Mother, it's all delivered, and the matter of asking her to buy vegetables tomorrow morning has also been mentioned, so it's good to go over and call someone then."
Xia Tao took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and snorted them while going back to the house.
Third Sister Fang looked at her and sighed, "You still eat, if you show it to your sister-in-law, you have to say it." Come over and help make a fire. β
Xia Tao pursed her lips and obediently passed.
"You're not happy to do such a thing? If you can't find anything to do, you have to go to the tofu factory to sell goods, and you don't want to get married so soon. If the little lady next door is recruiting, you can go over and take care of it, and earn a few dollars a month to block your sister-in-law's mouth......"
Third Sister Fang started preaching again, Xia Tao was annoyed when she heard it, nodded and said, "Mother, don't say it, I know." β
When I thought of the little woman next door, Xia Tao, I couldn't help but pout, why did she look so good-looking, although she had a round face and a big belly, and her head and clothes were also blue and blue, but that feeling was different.
It's not like a young lady from a rich family, and an ordinary peasant woman is not like ......
In short, there is a feeling of unattainable, with a round face with big eyes and a small mouth, pure and cute.
Before, Xia Tao felt that she was quite good-looking among the girls in this area, but now she has a feeling of being compared.
But fortunately, the person next door is already a little woman, still pregnant, but I don't know what a man looks like.
"If you really knew, I wouldn't have to worry about it." Third Sister Fang was dissatisfied with her daughter's attitude, and said with horizontal eyes, "You don't have any ideas about Yuan Gang, he doesn't look good as a shopkeeper, but he also has one or two silver dollars a month, and there are no other brothers in the family, you can be in charge of the family if you marry, and you won't suffer." β
Yuan Gang is Xia Tao's fiancΓ©, the two families were married two years ago, and it was already time to discuss the marriage date, but Xia Tao was a little unhappy, thinking that Yuan Gang was a runaway, always whispering to people, and he couldn't get over his face, and he didn't look good, a little dark.
"That's it!" Xia Tao shoved firewood into the stove, and when the water in the pot boiled, Third Sister Fang didn't say anything about her, and began to cook dinner with a few words.
It was night, in the military camp of King Qi outside the county, Jiang Shaomin returned with a few people.
It was late at night, but it didn't take long for the lights in the main tent to come on.
Wei Yu got up and called Jiang Shaomin over for questioning.
Jiang Shaomin knelt on the ground when he entered the account and gave a general account of the incident.
"You mean the woman is dead?"
Wei Yu frowned and confirmed, and a woman's figure appeared in his mind, with low eyes and a round face.
"Yes. The subordinates saw her fall into the river with their own eyes and did not save her. β
Jiang Shaomin didn't have any suspicions when he saw these things with his own eyes, when he found out that someone was looking for a boat outside, he thought that it might be someone who was a good king, followed and probed all the way, and finally hid in the forest and waited for those people to get on the boat. There was no mistake in the whole process, and the man was also the one who was in Yinshan Town at the beginning, so there was nothing wrong with this.
"Have you found a body?"
For some reason, when it was said that the woman was dead, Wei Yu always didn't believe it.
"No, no. But that place is downstream, the current is very fast, and there is no chance of survival if she falls, not to mention that she still has a big belly. β
The river was very wide, and the water was fast, how could a pregnant woman who was about to give birth survive.
Jiang Shaomin is also the most useful person around Wei Yu, and Wei Yu still believes in his judgment.
If it's dead, it's dead, Wei Yu sighed, "Can this thing be kept secret?" β
