Chapter 81: What's Going On
"Didn't say anything else?" Cherry licked her chapped lips, and somehow, almost as soon as Walnut finished speaking, she intuitively felt that this matter seemed to be related to Yue Gui.
When she had suspected the fire before, she had also suspected Yue Gui's death. It's just that before Yue Gui died, she hadn't crossed over here, and the specific situation was unclear to the sisters, so there was no explanation.
"Not anymore. After the fourth aunt left, I felt that I missed our father and mother, and I was afraid that I would cry at the door of the house and let the eldest sister see it, so I ran to the village. I didn't think of it, but I ran into you and the third sister. Walnut shrank and snuggled into Cherry's arms: "Fourth sister, do you say that our father and mother are really still alive?" Are they watching us from heaven? ”
"Yes, they're watching us, so don't cry......" Cherry responded a little absent-mindedly. Thinking in my heart, what does the fourth aunt mean by asking? Although her words sound strange, but when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. It's really unpredictable.
I can't think of anything, but I can't rest assured. Normal people, who would ask such a strange word? And why do you have to ask the youngest walnut in the family, and you have to branch out of the people around her, and tell her not to say it? All of this, combined with the feeling that the fourth aunt gave her, prompted Cherry to make a bold guess of the worst.
Assuming that Yue Gui's death was man-made, assuming that this kind of artificiality was artificial, Lu Aifen was also involved. Then, the sentence she asked Walnut can be explained. But why?
No matter how bad Yue Gui is, he is also Lu Aifen's brother-in-law, and according to Cherry's understanding, Yue Gui is a good person, his popularity has always been good, and he will not offend people, why did Lu Aifen kill him? Cherry's speculation about this matter has always been that Yue Gui's death and Cherry's fire are not accidental, and it is very likely that these two things were done by the same person.
Now that the assumption of Yue Gui's death is made, then it means that Lu Aifen is likely to be the one who set the fire, so why did she set the fire? Besides, Cherry has obviously found the clothes that Erni said from the third aunt, so it can't be the fourth aunt's doing.
Then, there is no motive to kill, and the clothes are with the third aunt, there is no reason to suspect Lu Aifen's head in this matter.
Cherry shook her head slightly, reaching out and rubbing her temples. It was not easy for her to come up with so many words with just one more suspicious sentence, and she could go to the Forensic Division to do things.
"Fourth sister?" The walnut was still staring at the cherry.
"Good." Cherry smiled at her and gently rubbed her two cheeks: "The fourth sister has helped you think about it, it's nothing." But don't tell anyone about it. ”
"Hmm," Walnut nodded obediently.
At this time, Mi Tao's voice came from the house: "Sakura! Come into the house with walnuts to eat! You're so lazy to get home, and you have to hide in the yard to be lazy when you serve a meal! ”
"Oh! Here it is! Cherry hurriedly answered and led the walnuts into the house. One is her third aunt and the other is her fourth aunt, and I really hope that when this matter finally comes to light, it will have nothing to do with any of them.
After eating, cleaning up the table, and washing the dishes and chopsticks, the sisters began to prepare for going to Linhai Village.
Star fruit and rice peach are collecting all the bamboo baskets at home, cotton peach brings the hammer head and iron pestle at home, cherries and walnuts take advantage of this time to feed the chickens, pigs, fish and rabbits at home, and by the way, they pour some water on the earthworms.
After a while, Akiyama came with a bamboo basket, and the sisters set off, leaving star fruit at home to recuperate from their injuries and take care of the family.
On the way, Mian Tao joked with Akiyama: "Akiyama, I don't see that your family's work is not done, but you are doing my family's work." I followed Sakura up and down the water all day long, and I ran a lot on the road, but I didn't have any hard-earned money. ”
"Hey, my family's work is Qiuhong, and I'm idle. Besides, I'm willing to follow Sakura, otherwise how could there be so many new and interesting things? "Akiyama patted his chest, he followed this time, and his main task was to carry the 'sea cricket' back. That thing is so heavy that the sisters are afraid that two of them can carry a basket.
"How's that going to work? You've got to ask Sakura to pay you! Mi Tao smiled and glanced at the cherry: "She, she has money." "The house is such a big place, what is the cherry hiding, how can the careful star fruit and rice peach not find it? I just don't say it.
"What sisters are you two?" Cherry lazily glared at Mi Tao and Mian Tao: "Did you see that I saved a little hard-earned money and panicked?" As he spoke, he hummed softly: "It's as if none of you have it, but it's better than mine, and I didn't find it." "It's certain that there is private money in Mian Tao, and there is money in Mi Tao, which is her guess. When I went to the neighboring village to serve the young lady, I had a tael of silver a month, and I was so generous at that time, and I only added a tael of New Year's money after a month.
As soon as Mi Tao heard what Cherry said, she was fooled, and immediately glared: "How do you know?" Did you bring it? Say it! As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed her ear.
"Ahh Cherry smiled and hid behind Mian Tao: "Third sister, save me!" ”
Mian Tao chuckled: "Okay, okay, she's joking, you really believe it, this time it's exposed, Er Tao?" ”
"Ah, fooled" Mi Tao was slightly stunned, then reacted, stretched out her hand and pointed to the cotton peach and cherry: "Okay!! The two of you, one dares to deceive me, and the other dares to call me 'Ertao', are you going to rebel, aren't you? ”
"Hahahaha......" Cotton Peach squinted and laughed.
The sisters of the Yue family joked, and Akiyama just laughed on the side, and followed behind innocently.
After a while, the group arrived at the beach along the coast of Linhai Village. Further south along the beach, you will reach the rocky reef area.
This rocky reef area is long and stretches a long distance south along the coastline. The happy Mi Tao's eyes smiled: "This is that place?" So what 'sea jelly' was taken from these reefs? Oh my God, there are so many reefs here, aren't we going to get rich? ”
Cherry smiled: "If this matter can be kept and not let outsiders know, theoretically yes." ”
"Look at this girl, she still speaks with a clear look, and I can't understand some official words." Mi Tao smiled and leaned over to the part of the reef buried in the water, "What is this trick?" ”
Cherry and Akiyama taught Rice Peach and Cotton Peach how to smash the whole sea lizard from the rocky reef, and several of them went to find a place and got busy.
In the end, the hammer is not as good as the stone, it is easy and easy to use, and it is much easier to knock the sea lizard. In a short time, a shallow layer was laid in the basket of light cherries. If you continue at this rate, Shen Zhengshi can fill the basket before the time, and after returning home, you can peel it for a while before eating, so that the rest of the peel will be much easier, and you don't have to stay up late at night.
There are also skills in peeling sea lizards, and the cherry that grew up on the seashore has prepared two slender sharp knives, which are borrowed from a neighbor's house with great difficulty, and most people don't have them.
The shell of the sea jelly has a lot of fine ruffles on it, and it is easy to cut your hands if you are not careful, so you should put a thick linen cloth when peeling it. Hold the sea jelly in one hand, squeeze it through the middle gap with a sharp knife in the other hand, cut it around the circle, cut off the strap of the sea jelly, and pry the tip of the knife upwards again, and the sea jelly will be successfully opened.
Take out the meat and put it in a clean porcelain basin, throw away the shell, and move on to the next one. So many sisters, although there are only two sharp knives, and everyone else uses kitchen knives or whatever, but the speed is still very fast.
When Cherry was ready to go to the market again, she went to the blacksmith to make a few sharp knives to pry the sea clams.
Peeled sea shells are actually useful. After being exposed to the sun and drying, it can be broken with a foot-stepping pile stone, which can be fed to chickens or fed into the field as fertilizer.
At the beginning of the unitary period, Qiuhong came to look for it, and Qiushan followed back.
The sisters were busy until the end of the day, when they finished peeling the knocked-in sea prickly.
Cherry stretched her waist and was lazy, thinking that it would not work like this, the money was earned, but she couldn't exhaust the sisters' bodies. She sighed deliberately, "I'm so tired!" ”
Sure enough, with her sigh, Mian Tao spoke: "I think, we can't be in a hurry about this matter, money always has to be earned slowly." From tomorrow, let's divide the labor and save a little bit. ”
"What's the point?" The hand of the star fruit is broken, and the peeling of the sea cricket is not strong, and it is in a hurry.
"Eldest sister, your hands are like this, you can take care of the fish, chickens and rabbits at home, sweep the yard, and cook for you. Ming'er will go to the field to see if it needs to be watered. "Actually, this is not light, I am not afraid of cotton peaches, I am afraid that there will be too little star fruit, so I have to say so.
"As for me, I went to the town in the morning to sell klam meat, this thing, peeled off the shell, it didn't sink a few pounds, and I still carried it on my back. Second sister, you and Cherry Walnut, the three of you will go to Linhai Village in the morning to knock on the sea prickly and come back. When I get back from town, I'll help you if it's early. At noon, we'll go home for dinner, and in the afternoon, we'll only peel the jellyfish at home, so that we can finish all the work before dinner and have time to do something else, and we won't have to stay up so late at night. "It costs money to burn the lamp and burn the oil, and it has been so late every day for the past two days, and the kerosene star fruit that has been burned is distressed.
"That's good!" As soon as the cotton peach words fell, the cherry immediately clapped her hands. The third sister is really a transparent person, and with a little dialing, she immediately understands that the arrangement is appropriate, and the sisters don't have to be tired.
