After Zhang Bufan's feet stepped into the footprint nest, Liu Wangjia shouted happily: "It's just right!" What else do you have to say? ”

"It's really not me!" , Zhang Bufan shouted loudly, "Big brother, you have to believe me!" ”

Xiaohu's brows instantly twisted into a pimple.

"Still quibbling!" , Liu Wang's eyebrows fluttered and shouted, "It's a warehouse, it's all sundries, it's worthless, only an ancient painting is worth a little money, and it's also burned, I'm generous, don't worry about a child, together with the house, lose a hundred taels of silver, and forget it!" ”

The crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded, chattering and saying everything.

"One hundred taels, I said Liu Wang's family, you are going crazy!"

"This child is really pitiful, his father and mother are dead, and his stepmother is not a thing!"

"Who said it wasn't that, such a big family business was occupied by that vixen, such a young child was taken care of, and he was bullied everywhere!"

"This Liu Wang's house is not a good thing, such a broken house, it's worth a fart money, if it is burned, it will be burned, and it will cost a hundred taels if you open your mouth, it is really shameless!"

"He's taking the opportunity to slander people! Seize the opportunity and want to make a profit! ”

……

Liu Wangjia listened to the public opinion around him and smiled awkwardly, "My ancient painting is very valuable!" ”

"It's really not you?" , Xiaohu stared at Zhang Bufan's eyes and asked.

"It's not! I've never been here at all, I'm south when it rains! Zhang Bufan's face was upright, without any panic.

Xiaohu frowned, stared at the footprints on the grass and thought carefully, and suddenly Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile. "Of course not him!" ，

"The footprints are all right, why not?" , Liu Wangjia raised his eyebrows.

"It's just because it's right, it's not", Xiaohu smiled slightly, "Everyone knows that when it rains, the soil is soft, and when you go down, it's a nest, but when the rain stops, after the sun is so dry, the soil will dry." ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"When the wet soil dries, it shrinks, and the footprint nest shrinks, I think everyone understands this truth, right?" , Xiaohu looked at the crowd around him.

"Yes, that's it, when the wet mud dries out, it shrinks and becomes smaller, we all know this!"

"That's it!"

"Nie Zhutou didn't say that I really didn't remember it, that's right!"

The crowd of onlookers was again talking.

"So, the foot of the person who stepped on this footprint should be bigger than the current footprint!" , Xiaohu looked at Liu Wang's house with a smile.

"This?" , Liu Wangjia was so anxious that he scratched his cheeks.

Xiaohu ignored Liu Wang's house anymore, got up and walked into the burned house.

"I already know who set the fire!" After a quarter of an hour, Xiaohu walked out and said with a smile.

"Who!?" , Liu Wangjia asked busily.

"Cats! It was the cat that set the fire. ”

"Cats?" , not only Liu Wang's family, but also the crowd of onlookers were also confused.

"Yes, it's a cat, let's come and see", Xiaohu turned around and walked into the room again, Liu Wangjia, Tang Yibin and other four people, Zhang Bufan and a few people who like to join in the fun all followed.

Nie Xiaohu pointed to a broken porcelain basin on the ground next to a charred table and said, "This is a fish tank, right?" There are also two fish that have been grilled next to it. ”

"Hmm", Liu Wangjia nodded.

"It's lime, isn't it?" Xiaohu twisted a little white powder on the ground with his hands.

"Well, I bought some lime yesterday and put it here," Liu Wangjia nodded and said.

"There's a straw mat underneath, right?" Xiaohu asked again, pointing to a piece of ash on the ground.

"It's a straw mat."

"Well, that's right, what do you think it is?" Xiaohu pointed to a corner of the house with his hand.

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and there was a black dead cat lying in the corner.

"The fire is what it put it", the corners of the little tiger's mouth turned up slightly, "When it rained, the cat came in, saw the fish tank on the table, and wanted to catch the fish inside to eat, but overturned the fish tank, and the water in the fish tank met the lime on the ground, this must be clear to everyone, right?" ”

People nodded.

"The result was that the straw mats on the ground were ignited, which caused a fire, and it was as simple as that," Xiaohu shrugged.

"My little flower!"

At this moment, a little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old came in from the crowd, screaming and picking up the dead cat that had been burned black.

"Son! What are you doing here? Liu Wangjia said to the little boy.

"My poor little flower!" The little boy said with a sad face, "Dad, my little flower was burned to death!" ”

"What? Is this cat yours? Liu Wangjia's face became unnatural.

"That's right, I took Xiaohua out to play today, I didn't expect it to rain, I held it under the eaves of our warehouse to avoid the rain, I didn't expect Xiaohua to run out all of a sudden, into the warehouse, I saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, so I ran home."

"I see!"

"It was his own family who set the fire for a long time!"

"I said Liu Wang's family, do you want that one hundred taels?"

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd erupted in laughter.

"You kid! See if I don't kill you! Liu Wang's family was so embarrassed that his face was flushed, and he was about to beat him when he raised his hand.

"Mother! My dad beat me! ~~~~", the little boy dragged a long sound, got out of the crowd, and ran away without a trace.

"Hahahaha!" There was another burst of laughter in the crowd, and the people dispersed in twos and threes in the laughter.

Xiaohu smiled and said to Zhang Bufan: "Little brother, it's okay, go home quickly, goodbye!" After speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
