Everyone looked at Sheng Wanxiang in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly stopped Wu Zhiyuan from drinking soup.

Sheng Wanxiang ignored everyone's gaze, snatched the porcelain bowl from Wu Zhiyuan's hand, and said, "I see that this bowl of chicken soup is a little cold, I'll take it and heat it up before drinking." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the stove in the house. Wu Zhiyuan wanted to reach out to stop it, but it was too late.

Xue'er's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and she smiled forcefully: "Since you haven't eaten breakfast yet, I won't bother anymore, you eat slowly, I'll go back first." ”

Wu Zhiyuan, Moon Shadow Fuxian and Wu hurriedly got up to send Xue'er out of the hospital, and the three of them returned to the dining table in the hospital.

At this time, Sheng Wanxiang had already walked out of the house, but she didn't have the bowl of chicken soup in her hand. She walked to the dining table with her head down, sat down beside the Moon Shadow Fuxian, picked up the porridge on the table, and was silent, as if thoughtful.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at Sheng Wanxiang, she was plain and generous, and she was decent, she had never happened like today, and she wanted to ask the reason, but because so many people were sitting around the dinner table, and it was breakfast time, the so-called food was silent, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so she pretended to be okay and just buried herself in eating.

After the meal, everyone has their own interests, Sheng Jinyuan and Wu Chengxi squatted in the corner of the wall to bask in the sun, although the two had different encounters, but they were of similar age, plus the relationship between Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang, the two were like in-laws, but they also chatted very speculatively, the wild cow danced the scimitar in the yard, and Sun Haozi went out and wandered around the village.

Wu Zhiyuan saw the opportunity, pulled Sheng Wanxiang, who was busy with his mother in front of the stove, aside, and asked, "Where is the bowl of chicken soup that Xue'er sent just now?" His voice was soft, and there was no hint of guilt in his tone.

Sheng Wanxiang did not hide it, and replied truthfully: "I poured it out." ”

"Why?" Wu Zhiyuan asked, "How can I say it, it's also someone's heart, it's a pity to fall like this." ”

Sheng Wanxiang was silent, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"Did something unpleasant happen between you and Cher?" Wu Zhiyuan vaguely guessed that this might be the reason, which is why Sheng Wanxiang was so repulsive to the chicken soup sent by Xue'er.

Sheng Wanxiang lowered her head and bit her lower lip, she was silent for a moment, seemed to have made a lot of determination, suddenly raised her head, and said with a solemn face: "I ...... yesterday"

At this moment, I heard a voice at the gate of the courtyard calling: "Zhiyuan! ”

Sheng Wanxiang and Wu Zhiyuan were interrupted at the same time, and the two turned their heads to look at the sound, only to see the Moon Shadow Fuxian hurriedly running in from outside, and came straight to Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang, looking hurried, as if there was something very important, she grabbed Wu Zhiyuan's hand and said, "You come with me!" ”

"Wait for me." Wu Zhiyuan turned his head and threw a sentence at Sheng Wanxiang, and was pulled out of the courtyard by the Moon Shadow Fuxian.

The two of them left the village and walked north, and Wu Zhiyuan found that they were actually walking on the path to the mountain lion at the foot of Longshan.

"Moon Shadow, what's the matter?" Wu Zhiyuan was held by the Moon Shadow Fuxian, so he could only follow her forward.

Moon Shadow Fuxian did not answer, but kept pulling Wu Zhiyuan towards the mountain lion, and the two of them strode into the meteor, and soon came to the mountain lion and stood in front of Ju'er's grave.

"What do you have to say here?" Wu Zhiyuan said with questions.

"What do you think this is?" Moon Shadow Fuxian stretched out her hand in front of Wu Zhiyuan, and between her thumb and index finger was a small piece of white thing, which was not big, less than the size of her little thumb's belly.

Wu Zhiyuan took the white flake pinched by Moon Shadow Fuxian, put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of Sanqi.

Panax notoginseng is the rhizome of a plant called notoginseng, which is a relatively common traditional Chinese medicine, Wu Zhiyuan had typhoid fever and cold when he was a child, and the fifth uncle would prescribe this notoginseng tablet to him, and let Wu Zhiyuan's mother Wu boil soup to pour it into him, and typhoid fever will naturally be cured to the disease. This kind of notoginseng soup has a faint bitter taste, so Wu Zhiyuan is very impressed, he has also seen the fifth uncle use a knife to cut large pieces of notoginseng stems into small pieces, as a medicinal herb for backup.

"Three-seven pieces." Wu Zhiyuan said the name of the white flake in one mouth, and then asked, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Do you know where you got this notoginseng from?" Moon Shadow Fuxian did not answer Wu Zhiyuan, but asked rhetorically.

"Sanqi is not common in our north, the fifth uncle usually goes to the city to buy it and buy it for medicine, and he is the only one in the village who has this kind of thing." Wu Zhiyuan replied.

Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, her expression was very solemn, her left hand stretched out in front of Wu Zhiyuan, Wu Zhiyuan looked at it, and saw that she was holding a sharp knife in her hand. That sharp knife Wu Zhiyuan is very familiar with, it is the murder weapon that killed Ju'er!

Seeing Wu Zhiyuan's puzzled face, Moon Shadow Fuxian explained: "I had nothing to do just now, so I took a closer look at this knife, and I saw a layer of cloth wrapped around the handle. As she spoke, she turned the sharp knife upside down, and the handle was facing Wu Zhiyuan, and there was indeed a layer of cloth wrapped around it, the original color of the cloth should be white, but because of the repeated grasping, the layer of cloth had turned gray.

"It's normal to have a layer of cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife so that the knife doesn't slip when you use it, what's so strange?" Wu Zhiyuan still didn't understand the intention of the Moon Shadow Fuxian.

"But the three notoginseng in my hand was found in this layer of cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife." Moon Shadow Fuxian replied solemnly.

When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, he was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise: "This piece of Sanqi ...... Did you find it in the strip of cloth on the handle of this knife? ”

Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded.

"How is this possible?" Wu Zhiyuan muttered to himself, "Could it be that the murderer of Ju'er is the fifth uncle?" As he spoke, he looked at Ju'er's grave.

"It doesn't have to be the fifth uncle, but it must be from the fifth uncle's family, the fifth uncle, the fifth aunt and Xue'er, the three of them are the most suspicious." Moon Shadow Fuxian explained in detail.

"Fifth Uncle...... Fifth Aunt ...... Xue'er ......" Wu Zhiyuan muttered a name after a pause, and the scene when Xue'er brought chicken soup at breakfast suddenly flashed in his mind. At that time, he was about to drink the chicken soup, but Sheng Wanxiang suddenly stopped him.

Wu Zhiyuan remembered her expression when she asked Sheng Wanxiang just now, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, as if she knew some unknown secrets.

"Wanxiang may know something, let's go back and ask her about it right away." Wu Zhiyuan took the hand of the Moon Shadow Fuxian and said eagerly.

Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, and the two of them turned and galloped in the direction of the village.

Rushing to the gate of the courtyard in one breath, Wu Zhiyuan didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed straight to the door of the main room, and saw that his mother was washing the dishes alone, but he didn't see Sheng Wanxiang.

"Mom, where's the evening fragrance?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked.

"Eveningincense?" Wu raised his head and said in amazement, "Oh, Xue'er came just now and said that there was an embroidery at home that was only half embroidered, and she wanted Wanxiang to come over and help." ”

Wu Zhiyuan said secretly in his heart when he heard this: "Oh no! ”
