Chapter 30: Uncle Drunken Man
Now that she woke up, Li Caicai no longer stayed in bed, got dressed and ran to the kitchen, found the basket sent by Shopkeeper Lin yesterday, saw what good things there were, and made breakfast by the way.
A large piece of pork, hey, good, this meat quality, half fat and half lean, it tastes good to look at.
Two pig's trotters, ho, full of collagen, can be kept for braised and stewed soup is also good.
Ouch, there are two more fish, not to mention, quite big.
There are also two handfuls of mustache noodles, wrapped in paper separately, this Lin shopkeeper is careful enough, breakfast is yours!
"Tut-tut, earned, earned."
sighed, Xiaobai also got up, and consciously ran to help Li Caicai burn the fire, and with the existing materials, Li Caicai finished the pot and directly cooked a large pot of green vegetables and shredded pork noodles.
Xu's went up the mountain to chop firewood yesterday, just dug back some fresh wild vegetables, and then with the pork cut into thin strips, and then nested a few wild eggs by the way, the clear soup base was slightly floating with some oil, and finally sprinkled with chopped chives, full of cool autumn morning, eating such a big bowl, a warmth, instantly refreshed to the heart.
"Grandma, let's go out."
After breakfast, Li Caicai pulled Xiaobai and ran out, but Xu couldn't stop him.
"These two children, day by day, are really worry-free."
"Mother, they are much more capable than us."
Li Er'an's voice came from the room, and Xu nodded noncommittally, "That's true, after all, it's my granddaughter, in the end, it's still like me, capable!" ”
Li Er'an, who was reading a book: "......"
——
Thinking of the wound of the drunk man they saw last night, Li Caicai and Xiaobai both suspected that the wound on Tian Wanqing's chest was caused by the insertion of fragments of something.
If there's one person out there holding something fragile without being noticeable, it's the only one.
"Wine bottles."
"Wine jar."
The two spoke in unison.
Li Caicai waved her hand, "It's almost meaningful, let's hurry up and find the dog leftover to inquire." ”
Finally, there were new clues in the case, and the two of them walked faster.
When they arrived at Tianjia Village, the villagers went down to the ground as usual, and Tian Wanqing died, but their lives still had to go on.
For them, the conclusion of this case depends on when Tian Zhong is caught by the government.
As for the dog leftover, the villagers of Tianjia Village didn't care much about him from the beginning, after all, Tian Wanqing's daughter-in-law Zhu had made his family look like that, they were all from the same village, and they were far away from each other, so there was no need to fall into the well again, of course, it didn't matter to them whether they were dead or alive.
"Dog leftovers."
Pushing open the door of the yard, the dirty things in the yard have been cleaned up, but they are not particularly clean, I think the dog is left to clean it himself.
Hearing Li Caicai's voice, Gou Yu immediately ran out of the house.
Seeing that the injury on his face was almost healed, Li Caicai also nodded reassuringly, "Have you eaten?" ”
Gou left: "I've eaten, I haven't finished cooking porridge yesterday, and I drank it hot in the morning." ”
He was home alone, and Li Caicai didn't dare to leave him too much to eat, for fear of being robbed by someone with bad intentions, so he quietly bought a handful of bearded noodles from the space and took a few eggs to him, "You keep these to eat." ”
"Do you know which people in your village like to drink?"
Getting back to business, Xiaobai asked.
Gou Yu thought for a while, "Many people in the village drink, before the village chief's family killed pigs, everyone went to eat together, and the men all drank. ”
"It's not about drinking, it's about drinking, it's the kind of person who never leaves his body and likes to take wine with him wherever he goes." Li Caicai explained.
The dog left an "ah", as if remembering something, and led the two of them outside.
The three of them walked around the village until they stopped under a large willow tree.
Li Caicai was panting heavily, this dog was leftover, as thin as a hemp pole, and he walked so fast.
Pointing to the courtyard over there, Gou Yu lowered his voice, "Uncle Tian, who lives there, is what you said, he likes to bring wine with him wherever he goes." ”
"The night I came back with my father, I saw him with wine."
Hearing this, Li Caicai looked at Xiaobai, good guy, this is too smooth, it doesn't take much effort to come.
Old man Tian didn't know that he was being targeted, holding a small wine jar in his left hand and a cigarette gun in his right hand, and walked out of the house leisurely.
"Heh, I drank it early in the morning, this addiction is really big."
Li Caicai was lying behind the tree, staring at it without blinking, but could the short old man who couldn't stand at this station be able to kill Tian Wanqing?
"Phew!"
Seeing that the old man had not taken two steps, he almost tripped over a stone, twisted his face and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground next to the stone, swearing in his mouth.
When he got up this morning, Old Man Tian didn't take two sips before he found that the wine was gone, and he guessed that his bastard son came back last night to steal his wine and drink, so he could skip a meal, but he couldn't go without a meal.
Carrying an empty wine jar out, Old Man Tian went to Tian Jiu's house as usual and put an altar on credit.
When Old Man Tian walked away, Gou Yu took Li Caicai and Xiaobai and followed Old Man Tian from a distance.
"In our village, there is only Uncle Tian Jiu's family making wine, and he must have gone there."
Before he reached the door of Tian Jiu's house, he heard a noise.
"Dad, why are you going to drink on credit again?"
This sound sounds familiar.
The three of them quickly ran to the corner of a nearby house and hid, Li Caicai leaned out, "That's not it, Tian Xingfa!" ”
What the hell is fate!
It turned out that the drunken old man was Tian Xingfa's father.
"What's the matter, what do I want to do, I still have to explain to you?"
Old man Tian shook his elbow and shook off Tian Xingfa's hand.
Don't look at this old man Tian who looks thin and small, this strength is still okay, but he suddenly threw aside the hand that Tian Xingfa came to pull.
"I don't care about you, Tian Jiu wants money, you pay it back yourself!"
Although Tian Xingfa had grown a body of horizontal flesh and looked fierce, he still didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of Old Man Tian.
"Lao Tzu is on credit, and his son is repaid, since ancient times, it is justified!"
Throwing off such a sentence, Old Man Tian didn't pay attention to Tian Xingfa anymore, took a puff of dry tobacco, and went to Tian Jiu's house by himself.
Tian Xingfa clenched his fists with both hands, looking hateful, but helpless.
Seeing him turn around suddenly, Li Caicai and the others quickly retracted their bodies and squatted down, "Whew...... Almost discovered. ”
Afraid that Tian Xingfa would chase after him, the three of them didn't stop any longer, and immediately bypassed the back of the house and ran away from another path.
It wasn't until the dog was sent back that Tian Xingfa didn't see Tian Xingfa coming over, and Li Caicai was relieved.
"It seems that we have to go to the county government again."
Telling the dog to stay at home again and wait a few more days, Xiaobai and Li Caicai rushed to the county seat again.
The last time he looked at the corpse, Xiao Bai always felt that something was wrong, and always felt that he had missed some key information, until today, when he saw Old Man Tian, he finally knew where that wrong place was!
