Chapter 15: Suspicion

"The red dust is over, there is no past, may in the next life, you can be reborn as a human being. www.biquge.info Shen Xiuwen stood up, and when the last lonely soul walked in, the door to life suddenly disappeared, and everything around him returned to normal in an instant, as if everything was an illusion. Shen Xiuwen bent down to pick up the square book on the ground and carefully carried it in his arms.

Glancing up at the sky, it was almost dawn, yawning, turning and walking back. When I arrived at Shen's house, it was already dawn, and there were vegetable sellers walking down the street with baskets on their backs.

Shen Xiuwen pushed open the door and entered, the house was empty, and the eldest lady was already busy in the kitchen at this time on weekdays. Shen Xiuwen was very sleepy, and he didn't care much, thinking that the eldest lady had gone out to buy vegetables, and when she returned to the house, she fell asleep in the quilt.

I don't know how long it took, someone faintly called him in his ear.

"Xiuwen, Xiuwen, wake up, wake up, wake up."

Shen Xiuwen snorted twice in his nose, turned over and didn't react.

The man continued to call him: "Xiuwen, wake up, wake up." ”

At this time, Shen Xiuwen slowly opened his eyes, and at a glance, he found that the second aunt was staring at him anxiously.

Shen Xiuwen was full of excitement, quickly got up from the quilt, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, why did you come to my house, and you didn't knock on the door to say hello." ”

Feng Tao hurriedly said: "Who still has the heart to joke with you, eldest sister, Ah Bao, and your eldest brother are gone." ”

"Gone?" Shen Xiuwen glanced at her suspiciously, pouted, "No, how is this possible?" ”

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Feng Tao dragged him out of bed, pointed to the empty mansion and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you. ”

Shen Xiuwen said: "Will there be something going out?" ”

Feng Tao shook his head and said, "I think so too, but don't you look at what time it is?" ”

"What hour?" Shen Xiuwen tilted his head and asked.

Feng Tao was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said: "It's noon, and I felt something was wrong when I came back from the farmhouse on the mountain last night, two days ago, I actually felt that something was wrong, but I didn't figure it out, but last night I suddenly figured it out, your eldest brother has to light candles every night when he sleeps, but I haven't seen your eldest brother's room light up these two nights." ”

Feng Tao said that, Shen Xiuwen also recalled it, he also felt that something was not quite right the night before yesterday, but because he was thinking about something else in his heart, he didn't think about it carefully, and now in retrospect, the eldest mother said that the eldest brother slept that night, but there was no light in the eldest brother's room, which was a big problem in itself.

Feng Tao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw him, and then continued: "I thought about whether it would be your eldest brother's habits that changed, but how can a person's habits change easily, and this dart is only half a month, I wanted to go into his room to see, and then I felt that I was thinking too much, so I went into the house to sleep, until this morning I didn't see your aunt come out, so I went to her room to call her, who knew that your aunt's room was neatly cleaned, but I didn't see her people, and Ah Bao was not there, I always felt uneasy, so I went to knock on your eldest brother's door." , I didn't expect your eldest brother to be there. ”

Feng Tao said this, her expression was a little strange, she looked at Shen Xiuyun's room for a long time, before she came to Shen Xiuwen's side, and whispered: "What makes me feel weird is that your eldest brother's room has not changed at all, a few days ago the eldest sister said that Xiuyun was coming back, let me help clean up his house, the futon on the bed is still folded by me, but Xiuyun has been back for two days, and the futon has not been touched." ”

Shen Xiuwen's eyes flashed with surprise, "Second aunt, are you really not mistaken?" ”

"No, no, I can't be mistaken, I folded the futon, how could I be wrong." Feng Tao's face was full of anxiety and worry.

Shen Xiuwen paced a few steps with his eyes in his eyes, then turned back to Feng Tao and said, "Let's go and ask nearby, maybe there are people who have seen the eldest mother and eldest brother." ”

Feng Tao nodded, and the two of them hurriedly went to the street to find someone. But half an hour passed, and no one had seen anyone from their Shen family, until they met an old lady who sold vegetables, and things took a turn for the better.

The old lady accepted a copper from Shen Xiuwen, and then said slowly: "You said Mrs. Shen, I saw it last afternoon, she was walking alone and laughing, and muttering all the way, I thought she was talking to someone, but when I looked left and right, there was no one." ”

When Shen Xiuwen heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure there is no one around her?" ”

The old lady didn't believe herself when she heard his tone, and she was anxious, "I'm old and dizzy, but it's not that I can't even see people clearly, not to mention that Mrs. Shen often comes to buy my dishes, how can I not recognize it, and she also greeted me, and I also asked her why Ah Bao didn't come with her, she said that Ah Bao was sent to Tao's house and wanted to go out." ”

As soon as Shen Xiuwen heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the Tao Mansion with Feng Tao, and Ah Bao was squatting in the yard to make mud. And Master Tao went out early in the morning to drink tea and walk the birds, and only Mrs. Tao was busy with housework at home.

At this time, Mrs. Tao said slowly while doing needlework: "Your aunt said that the two of you have disappeared when you go out in the past two days, so she sent Ah Bao to me, and sent it yesterday afternoon, saying that she was going to Qingxian." ”

Shen Xiuwen couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you doing in Qing County?" ”

Mrs. Tao put down the needlework in her hand and said with a smile: "Originally, she told me after she wanted to do something, but I was very happy to see her, so I thought that this matter was probably related to Xiuyun. It seemed that Mrs. Tao was also very satisfied with the girl.

Feng Tao didn't care about this, but hurriedly asked: "Then have you heard, what is the girl's last name and what?" ”

Mrs. Tao has never liked Feng Tao very much, Feng Tao was born in a Qinglou, has no identity and no status, and wants to compete with her daughter for favor, she naturally will not give Feng Tao a good face. It's just that when she mentioned Xiuyun, she couldn't help but be very happy, and now seeing that Feng Tao inquired about the name of the girl, thinking that she had ulterior motives, her attitude and tone turned around, and she said harshly: "I'll just say, why did you come to my house today, it turned out that we Xiuyun was about to marry a daughter-in-law, and you couldn't give birth to a son, maybe you want to make some bad intentions." ”

Feng Tao listened to her humiliating herself, and bit her lower lip, if it was ordinary, she would have sneered at each other a long time ago, but at this moment, she just said coldly: "Mrs. Tao, I came to you today, it is indeed because of Xiuyun, but it is definitely not what you think." ”

At this time, Shen Xiuwen also picked up and said: "The second aunt really has no malicious intentions, we came here to know where the eldest aunt went, she didn't come back all night last night, we are all worried." ”
