In the afternoon, Qili Village is quiet and serene, and along the way, you can see a large area of farmland, green wheat, all kinds of vegetables, and farmers busy in the fields.

For a girl like Luo Qingluan, who was dressed luxuriously, at first glance, she was born in a rich family, and these farmers forgot their work one by one and looked up at her in surprise. As if they had seen a fairy, some people were fascinated by it, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

Just glanced at it lightly, Luo Qingluan smiled at some peasant women passing by, and did not speak. Looking at the simple tiled houses and wooden houses scattered in front of him, the small courtyards of each farmhouse, the sound of pigs and sheep from time to time in the yard, and the crying of children, although not rich, but still showing a different taste.

I have never seen such a place, although Luo Qingluan is fresh, he is not in much of a mood to watch. Now she just wants to find the family that Mama Song said, the niece of Wen Po who delivered her mother at the beginning, and wants to ask if she knows what happened back then.

If it really doesn't work, ask how Wen Po died, and she also has a number in her heart.

"Nurse, where does the one you said live with Wang Cuihua?" Luo Qingluan asked as he looked around.

"I should live in the east of the village, and when I asked, I heard that there was a plane tree in her yard, and there was a big bird's nest on the tree, so I should be able to find it if I looked for it." Mama Song also looked around, obviously she didn't know the exact address.

East of the village, plane tree, bird's nest......

With these markings, you can find them anyway.

Walking through a tall pile of rice, Luo Qingluan's eyes lit up, and he pointed ahead and said, "Nurse, look, is it here?" ”

lifted the skirt and trotted over, because he was too anxious, Luo Qingluan was unstable for a while, and he almost stumbled. It's too sudden to come today, otherwise wouldn't it be much easier for her to change into a set of men's clothes directly?

At this time, she didn't care about this, standing in front of the earthen courtyard wall, Luo Qingluan looked at the tall plane tree in the middle of the courtyard, there was indeed a foot-sized bird's nest at the top of the tree, it seemed that it should be here.

"Miss, it should be here." Mama Song also spoke, and she looked into the yard, and there was only a child of four or five years old, squatting in the corner of the wall, not knowing that she seemed to be looking at ants. The little boy did not notice their arrival, and his eyes were only fixed on the ground.

"Little brother, is there anyone at home?" Luo Qingluan raised his voice slightly and spoke.

The child was still staring at the ground, and did not look up, as if he had not heard. Just as she was about to ask again, the child reached out and grabbed something on the ground, and actually stuffed it into his mouth, not knowing whether it was insects or dirt.

Luo Qingluan was stunned for a moment before he said loudly: "Is there anyone?" Anybody home? ”

The voice finally drew a response from the people in the house, only to hear a woman's voice come and ask who was outside. The voice became clearer and clearer, and in a blink of an eye, a peasant woman dressed in coarse cloth and with rough skin and only a wooden hairpin stuck in her head walked out.

When she looked at the appearance of Luo Qingluan and Mama Song, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned to the child, her face changed, and she exclaimed: "Ah-you kid, why do you eat these messy things again?" Get me up and go back to the house! ”

"Wow-" The child began to cry, but the peasant woman dragged her ears and forced her into the house, crying loudly.

After a while, the woman came out, her face was not very good, but she still walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked at Luo Qingluan and the others with a puzzled expression: "You ...... Looking for someone? ”

"May I ask if it's Wang Cuihua's family?" Mama Song asked.

"You are?" The woman was even more puzzled, obviously not knowing Luo Qingluan and the others.

Mama Song was just about to speak, but Luo Qingluan stopped her and said with a smile: "Oh, that's the case, our wife used to be taken care of by Mother Zhang, and I heard that Mother Zhang passed away, and I missed it very much, so I sent us to her family and send something to show it." I don't know if you are Mother Zhang's nephew Queen Cuihua? ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded her head again and again: "Yes, yes, it turns out that you are known to my aunt?" Your wife...... Ah, please, please. She hurriedly opened the courtyard door and beckoned Luo Qingluan and the others to come in.

Very enthusiastically welcomed them into the house, the woman was very embarrassed, and even said that the family is small, not as good as the city, and said that Luo Qingluan is so beautiful, is it a caring girl next to Mrs.

Luo Qingluan deliberately misunderstood her, only nodded, and took out the silver ticket she was carrying, the woman saw that there were one hundred taels, and suddenly her mouth couldn't close her smile, and she wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water, but Luo Qingluan stopped her.

For the sake of money, the woman was very enthusiastic, no matter what Luo Qingluan asked, she would not hide it. Not only lamented that her aunt died early, but also said that her aunt was her own niece, and now the family is poor or something, and she envied and flattered Luo Qingluan and said that Luo Qingluan was a blessing and was able to serve his wife, which was really a blessing from the three lives of cultivation.

"Well, so, our wife thought that if it wasn't for Zhang's mother to help deliver the baby, my son-in-law was afraid that he would die in childbirth, but not long ago, I heard that Zhang's mother passed away, and I couldn't bear it, so let's take a look." Luo Qingluan said lightly.

After speaking, she took out a silver ticket of fifty taels: "I don't think it's easy for your family, this money is a little bit of our son's heart, you can accept it." ”

"Thank you, girl, your wife and son are all kind-hearted people." Wang Cuihua can't remember that her aunt has been delivering babies all her life, and she has helped the family's wife. Anyway, it's a good thing that someone sends money to the door, and it doesn't take it for nothing.

"By the way, how did Zhang's mother pass away?" Luo Qingluan finally asked the purpose of the trip.

Wang Cuihua did not hide it, and directly said that a few years ago, her aunt died of illness.

If it was a death of illness, it seems that the cause of death is not suspicious, it should not be killed by Wang Xueru, she asked Wang Cuihua again if she knew that her aunt had delivered the wife of the General's Mansion, Wang Cuihua shook her head very embarrassedly: "This ...... Girl, the things that my aunt delivered were not very good, for fear of polluting the ears of the nobles, besides...... My aunt rarely told me about these things. ”

knocked on the side a few more, but Wang Cuihua didn't know anything, and Luo Qingluan finally gave up.

It seems that this clue is useless, the mother of the stable woman Zhang is dead, and all the secrets are buried in the soil.

Very disappointed to come out of the farmer's house, Luo Qingluan looked listless, Mama Song also felt guilty, she didn't know what to say, she muttered for a long time, she could only comfort her: "Miss, forget it, let's think of a way, we will definitely find out the truth." ”

Luo Qingluan sighed: "It's okay, I already knew it wouldn't be so simple, forget it, go back first." ”

There was still more than an hour before it got dark, and they had to hurry up, delaying the time a little, but they were afraid that they would not be able to go back when it was dark, and they would miss the time to close the city gate.

Even Luo Qingluan didn't expect that they had just walked four or five miles, and when they happened to pass through a small forest, all of a sudden, there was a sound of birds rising into the sky, as if they were startled by something.

"Someone!" This thought flashed, and Luo Qingluan suddenly became alert.

This is outside the city, there are not many pedestrians coming and going, and now they are untouched in front of and behind, but why are the birds in the woods frightened and flying? If there were people in the woods, who would be passing by at this time?

"Ahh Mama Song exclaimed, and Luo Qingluan's heart tightened when she heard it.

Because at the same time, she also saw that four masked men with long knives were rushing towards them.

Attack!

Oh no, run away!

Without thinking about it, Luo Qingluan pulled Mama Song to turn around and run, but the two of them couldn't outrun the four masked people at all, and in the blink of an eye, two of the masked people flew over their heads, directly blocking the way.

"What are you going to do?" Luo Qingluan pulled Mama Song, whose face had changed greatly, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Yo, this little lady is quite bold, she dares to ask!" One of the masked men said in a strange voice, looking at Luo Qingluan's eyes up and down, and then showed an obscene look and smacked his lips.

"At a glance, I know that I am here to kill you, what are you doing nonsense, obediently let the uncles kill them so that they can go back to the business, and you will not be in much pain." One of them was masked and spoke crisply.

When Mama Song heard this, she immediately blocked in front of Luo Qingluan, although she was trembling, she still insisted and said, "No, you are not allowed to hurt our young lady." Do you know who our young lady is? Offended Miss Yan of the General's Mansion......"

"Don't fucking talk nonsense, Lao Tzu not only knows that this chick is a young lady from the General's Mansion, but also knows that you are about to become the crown princess. It's useless to say this nonsense, you have to die today! ”

Luo Qingluan's face sank: "I know that you dare to do it, it seems that you are tired of living?" Assassinating the family members of second-class officials, you want to behead all over the house? ”

The four masked men were stunned for a moment, and then the leader said coldly: "Don't scare us, as long as you kill you, you don't know it, don't say that your father is a general, even the emperor Lao Tzu can't find a few of us." ”

Luo Qingluan suddenly said: "My aunt bought you?" ”

"You know ......"

The man was about to say something, suddenly noticed something, shut up suddenly, and sneered: "Don't ask so much, there are rules, we won't say it." ”

"If you want to kill us, the nurse and I are powerless and can't resist, but I just want to be a ghost before the time being. If you tell who bought you, I will give you a thousand taels of silver. After speaking, Luo Qingluan took out all the silver tickets in his arms and threw them over.

Looking at the silver tickets sprinkled in the sky, the eyes of the four masked people lit up, and one of them quickly stepped forward, grabbed a few silver tickets in his hand with a copy of his hand, and then returned to the one who was the leader, and the latter proudly pinched the silver tickets and laughed: "The little girl is still delusional, you are dead, as long as we kill you, are these silver tickets different from ours?" Breaking the rules, you still have to die. ”

After speaking, his eyes lit up, and he said coldly: "Do it, kill the two of them!" ”
