The cuckoo looked in the direction indicated by Tang Hongye, and found that there was a different piece of grass there, although the grass also grew tall, but the blades of grass on it were already a little wilted, wrinkled and hanging their heads, very languishing, in stark contrast to the other wild grasses around that were full of vitality.

In the same environment, the surrounding weeds are growing very well, but only this small piece of grass has wilted leaves, which is very revealing, the cuckoo nodded to Tang Hongye, and pulled Tian Siliu aside to comfort softly, Tang Hongye beckoned Huang Shuai together, found two thicker branches around, and began to try to dig the map on that piece of grass, they soon found that the soil in that piece seemed to be looser, much looser than the surroundings, and the grass on it was also pulled and even the roots with soil were lifted, The surrounding grass needs some effort to barely pull it up, this discovery made Tang Hongye and Huang Shuai seem to have a bottom in their hearts, and they dug with thick branches even harder, and sure enough, they poked some other things under the soil layer, and the two of them carefully dug the thing out of the soil and saw that it was a dead mouse, a huge dead mouse.

When the mouse was dug up, it was already lying on its stomach, but it didn't smell much, and there were no obvious scars on the mouse's body, not like it had been beaten to death.

"Do you want to continue?" Huang Shuai asked Tang Hongye and asked him for advice.

Tang Hongye nodded: "Go on, I've dug up one, I don't believe it's just this one." ”

The two men continued to dig with sticks, and in a short time there was a new harvest, and one after another five rats were dug out of the earth, some of them were larger than the one they had dug up, some were slightly smaller, and one of them had an ear that was probably bitten during a fight with the other mice, and it was so mutilated that at first glance it seemed as if only one ear was left.

Tian Siliu had already calmed down, and now when he saw that Tang Hongye had dug up the dead rats, he immediately came to him, patted his finger at the dead rats on the ground and said to them, "Look! Look! Isn't that just one ear? The big one is that its cousin eats cat and mouse! I'll just say I didn't lie to you! I said that there was no good thing left, and I died for a long time! You've all seen it this time, but I didn't make it up! ”

Looking at her elated appearance, it is estimated that because her mental state is not stable enough, many things Tian Siliu said have not been taken seriously, and now it has been confirmed that what she said is true, which makes her feel very excited.

Tang Hongye and the others are not in the mood to consider what Tian Siliu's mood is now, they pay more attention to the bodies of these mice, these rats have not yet emitted any peculiar smell, let alone rot, in such a season with high temperature and relatively large soil moisture content, it is enough to show that these mice have not died for a long time, and there are no obvious scars on the mouses, indicating that these mice were not killed by people. So Tian Siliu also saw these mice alive and well, and now they have been buried, which is enough to show that these mice were poisoned by people in the recent past, a few oily and slippery big rats, all of them were poisoned by people, in this case, the mice are wild, I'm afraid fools will not believe it, so raising so many mice, you must need a container like a cage, and now there is nothing else around here except for a wooden shed that has been damaged, where did the cage go?

This piece of buried rats, although the soil is relatively soft, but from the surface there is a small piece of grass that has been a little wilted, there is no abnormality, it is obvious that the person who buried these rats is deliberately using shovels and other tools, the surface of the grass of the soil layer carefully shoveled up, and after burying the dead mice, the soil layer back to its original position.

It is said that the vitality of weeds is the most tenacious, and it is estimated that the people who do this have such a point of view, so they adopt such a treatment method, but they ignore such a toss, the rhizomes of these grasses are seriously damaged, so even if the vitality is tenacious, it is still a big injury and becomes a little sluggish, if it is not for this, I am afraid that it is indeed not easy to find in this large area of grassland.

After the cuckoo saw the dead mice, she frowned, she didn't go closer, she was really afraid of the mice, even if it was a group of dead mice, it was the same, now Tang Hongye and Huang Shuai were present, and it was not difficult to deal with a few dead rats dug out of the soil, so she didn't plan to step forward to make trouble, just when Tian Siliu was quite excited after seeing the dead mice, she hurriedly inquired with her.

"Did you always see 'one ear' and 'cat and mouse' on the hills?" Since Tian Siliu used the characters in the cartoon to call these mice, Du Juan simply followed her example to communicate with her.

"Yes, I go into the woods when I'm fine, and I always see them." Tian Siliu replied very firmly.

"And when was the last time you saw them, and do you remember?"

"I don't remember......," Tian Siliu recalled for a while in a daze, and shook his head, "I didn't see them last time, usually they are all good with me, as soon as I pass here, they jump up and down to greet me, and I sometimes secretly take things from home for them to eat!" The last time I walked around here, I didn't see them...... Hey? No, the last time I was here, I saw them, and one ear was calling at me, and I was in a hurry to run, and I didn't bother to say hello to them! ”

"Where were you going in a hurry?" Cuckoo asked.

Tian Siliu glared at her: "Didn't I hear that my dad was going to beat my husband, so I was so scared that I ran away." ”

"Before that time, what were 'One Ear' and 'Cat and Mouse Eater' locked up in? Box? Cage? Or is it something like a net? What else is there around? ”

"No, nothing, there's a big cage, so boss!" Tian Siliu rounded his arms a little exaggeratedly, trying to make himself look bigger than the cage he drew out, "It's big anyway." ”

After listening to her, the cuckoo walked under the tree, picked up a branch, and pushed the collapsed plank to both sides, revealing the place that should have been under the shack, where there was indeed a piece of space half a meter square, it was obvious that there was a heavier thing on it before, so the ground was not as overgrown as other places, and when he squatted down, he could smell a stench that had not completely dissipated, like the smell of animal feces, and if he looked closely, the soil on the ground seemed to have been turned over.

"This should have been turned over as well." The cuckoo stood up, walked a few steps towards Tang Hongye and Huang Shuai, and said to them that at this time, the two of them were wearing gloves and carefully put the dead rats into the large evidence bag that Tang Hongye brought with him, probably wanting to send them back for further examination.

Du Juan's discovery did not surprise Tang Hongye, including the words of Du Juan interrogating Tian Siliu on the side, he could hear it clearly, so he just nodded to Du Juan: "Don't worry about it over there, if you even get the cage away, it is estimated that the others will be hidden." Eighty percent originally buried things under the cage, and now it is estimated that they are still in their hands, but they are more hidden, and it may be that they want to find a suitable opportunity to choose a safer and more secret way to throw it away. ”

After speaking, he stood up straight, turned his gaze to Tian Siliu, and asked her, "How did you pick up that keychain?" Did you pick it up, or did someone else give it to you? ”

"I picked it up, someone else threw it," Tian Siliu replied, the answer she gave seemed to have changed a little bit from before, but fortunately, the difference was not very big, but the details were added in the process of picking up the keychain, "I was playing on the mountain, and then I heard movement on it, and then someone took something and threw it at me, and then it hit me on the head, and then I was very angry, and then I looked down and saw that the keychain was beautiful, so I picked it up and kept it!" ”

Her series of "thens" really made the people listening to her speak feel unspeakably uncomfortable, but considering Tian Siliu's mental state, she was able to express and tell clearly, which was already a good performance of her current mental state, and no one would make more demands on her.

Tang Hongye listened to her answer, and didn't pay much attention to it, but stood up straight and looked down the surrounding hillside, as if he wanted to see the scene under the mountain through the woods, so as to judge where the position of the few of them was closer at this moment.

Soon, the dead mice were all loaded, although they were sealed in the pocket, but the pocket was transparent, and they could still be seen clearly, so that the goosebumps on the cuckoo's body came out layer by layer, she chose to walk in front with Tian Siliu, Tang Hongye and Huang Shuai walked behind with the evidence bag containing the dead mice, and the four of them went down the mountain again under the leadership of Tian Siliu and returned to the village, although Tian Siliu had a hundred reluctance, but they were still sent home by the cuckoos, Tian Fuguang had already returned home, It can be seen that although he agreed to Du Juan and Tang Hongye's request in anger, he didn't let go for a while, and before a few people entered the gate of Tian's house, he had already seen Tian Fuguang pacing around in the courtyard irritably.

Seeing that Tian Siliu was sent back by Tang Hongye and them, and he didn't look like he was mentally stimulated, Tian Fuguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he glared at Tian Siliu angrily, and motioned to his wife to take Tian Siliu into the house to wash and clean up, and he still stayed outside to talk to Tang Hongye and them, he first apologized, saying that he was too angry before, and Tian Siliu was not angry, and he was still so obsessed with Ding Zhengqing, and then he didn't forget to say a few words for himself.

"You must not listen to Liu Liu's nonsense, what she says can't be taken seriously at all," Tian Fuguang said to them, "She has always had that kind of problem since she was sick, when she speaks, some of them are really what happened, and some of them don't know where she saw them, and they can make it up anyway, you must not take it seriously, it's all something that doesn't happen!" I really haven't gone to Ding Zhengqing's trouble again, I dare to swear to God! If I tell half a lie, God will thunder and kill me! I'm still the same sentence, I can't be so impulsive to do the kind of thing that will put myself in, if I put myself in, I won't get any money, how will they live in the future? Believe me! ”

"I want to ask you about something," Tang Hongye did not respond to Tian Fuguang's confession, but asked him casually, "Usually in the nearby villages, is there a more serious situation of rats?" ”

"Huh? Rat? Tian Fuguang was still a little stunned by his question, blinked his eyes, as if he wanted to judge whether Tang Hongye was deliberately teasing himself, looked at it, and felt that Tang Hongye should be serious, so he shook his head: "It's okay, in a place like the countryside, there must be rats, but I haven't heard of the troubles being particularly fierce, because there are always so many families in the village who have cats and dogs, how many points of view are used, and there are many rats hidden in the wilderness, and few in the people." ”

"Is there anyone in the village who sells rat poison?" Tang Hongye asked again.

Tian Fuguang shook his head: "In addition to opening farmhouses and fish ponds in our village, there are only three small businesses, one is to open a small store and buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar snacks, one is a little doctor who opens a pharmacy and sells medicine, and the other is a place that specializes in entertaining people in the village to do that kind of red and white ceremonies. It's enough to cope with life on our side. ”

After Tang Hongye listened to him, he nodded, thanked Tian Fuguang, and told him to take good care of Tian Siliu, don't let Tian Siliu run around, in case she encounters bad people, or she can't control her emotions and behaviors, and then hurts innocent villagers or something, Tian Fuguang dare to say anything, and promised.

The three of them left the Tian family, and Tang Hongye said to Huang Shuai: "I may have to trouble you to run away." ”

Huang Shuai immediately understood what he meant, and nodded: "Don't worry, wrap it up on me, I'm ready to go back, and strive to inform you of the result as soon as possible!" ”
