A little girl of seven or eight years old was lying on a white cloth that had been laid out. Her eyes were closed, and her slender eyebrows were slightly twisted, and even death could not make them stretch. On the slender neck, there are shocking pinch marks, and the murderer's finger marks are clearly visible. Because his clothes were badly damaged, the old man was distressed, so he took off his coat and covered the little girl.

As he got up, he vaguely heard someone whispering in his ear, "Thank you!" ”

The old servant followed the sound and saw only a few officials who were looking for evidence.

Liu Hanshan noticed the abnormality of the old man's work, he pinched the gold inlaid jade on his waist, pulled it off and held it in his hand. The surrounding scene seems to have changed somewhat. The originally clear sky became gloomy, and where there was no one, there was a timid, wounded little girl.

She was dressed in a small red flower demon with several large patches on her pants, and stood there helplessly.

Liu Hanshan walked over, squatted down, and kept his eyes on the little girl: "What's your name?" ”

The little girl looked frightened, pursed her mouth, and did not say a word.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person." Liu Hanshan took out a token and showed it to the little girl: "I am Liu Hanshan, the commander of Anping County, and I am here for you." ”

"Prefectural order?" The little girl shrank back: "I heard my father say that the county orders are all bad people!" ”

"What did your dad say?" Liu Hanshan smiled bitterly: "I'm not the bad county order that your father said, I'm new." ”

"The world is as black as a crow." The little girl said word by word: "My father was arrested by the county order, and after three years, his eyes were blind, his arm was broken, and even his leg was crippled by the bad county order." ”

"Then did your father tell you why the county commander beat him?" Liu Hanshan asked, looking at the pinch marks on the little girl's neck.

The little girl shook her head, avoiding Liu Hanshan's gaze.

"Because of the money!" Liu Hanshan sighed: "That bad county order wants to seize the money that the imperial court gave to your father. ”

"What about you?" The little girl asked rhetorically, with a deep curiosity in her tone.

"I'm not short of money!" Liu Hanshan took out a silver bag and shook it in front of the little girl: "I'm a good person!" ”

"My mother said that rich people are not necessarily good people." The little girl puffed out her face: "But you are good-looking, different from the bullies in our village, I will believe you." ”

Liu Hanshan was stunned, he didn't expect that one day, his face would be better than the money in his pocket.

"I'll prove to you that I'm a good person." Liu Hanshan put away the money bag: "Do you remember what happened?" ”

The little girl shook her head, looked at the busy errand and said, "I recognize their clothes, they are officials." ”

"It's an official from Anping County." Liu Hanshan got up and stood beside the little girl.

"What are they looking for?" The little girl raised her head, turned her face sideways, and looked at Liu Hanshan: "Looking for something to eat?" In the grass of this season, nothing grows. ”

"They're looking for evidence, evidence left by the murderer." Liu Hanshan motioned to the little girl to look at the white cloth next to her work: "You really can't think of anything?" ”

The little girl shook her head and asked Liu Hanshan softly, "What's covered under the white cloth?" Can I go over and have a look? I'll just look at it, and I won't move. ”

"Go ahead!" Liu Hanshan said: "It doesn't matter if you move, I am the county order, and they all listen to me." ”

As the little girl walked, the wind blew up, rolling up the dead grass on the ground and the white cloth that covered the little girl. Seeing this, he hurriedly covered it with his hand, but the little girl who had already approached suddenly stopped. She saw it, and it was not someone else who was lying on the ground, but her.

Lost memories flooded in like seawater, her eyes widening wider, and then she let out a terrible scream.

The scream was heard, the officials who were looking for evidence heard it, and even the villagers of Shangshui and Xiashui villages heard it. They were first frightened by the voice, and then asked the man next to them, "Do you hear that?" That terrible voice. ”

Liu Hanshan didn't stop the little girl from screaming, he just didn't say a word after she released all her fear, and stood beside her.

Although he couldn't see the little girl, he also knew that there must be a reason for this yin wind, and he couldn't bear to let the little girl continue to lie on the ground, and discussed with Liu Hanshan, wanting to take her to Yizhuang in the city. Liu Hanshan looked at the little girl, the little girl stopped screaming, and said pitifully: "My mother is still waiting for me to go home." ”

With that, he set his sights on Xiashui Village.

Liu Hanshan knew where she came from, so that the servants didn't have to look for evidence, and together with the servants, carried the little girl to Xiashui Village.

Seeing the servants and the servants leave, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer, covered her face with her hands, and squatted on the ground.

"What's your name?"

"Grass!" The little girl sobbed: "My mother said that when she gave birth to me, there was nothing at home, if it wasn't for my father and sister who went out to pick those edible weeds and came back, my mother and I, none of us would have survived." My mother hopes that I can live like a little grass, no matter the wind and the sun, or the heavy rain. ”

Xiaocao said and sniffed vigorously: "But I can't live!" ”

"Who hurt you?" Liu Hanshan asked, staring at the pinch mark on Xiaocao's neck, which was an adult's hand, at least over twenty years old.

"I don't know." Xiaocao shook her head: "I just think he's a little bit alike." ”

"Like whom?" Liu Hanshan asked: "Don't be afraid, just tell me, yes or no, it's up to me to check." ”

"Third uncle!" Xiaocao raised her head, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down her eyes: "It's the third uncle of our family." ”

The Dong family is a big family in Xiashui Village, and everyone surnamed Dong in the village can have something to do with it more or less. No one remembers what the third uncle's real name is, but he is the third in the family, and the people in the village, no matter how big or small, whether they are men, women, or children, all call him Dong Laosan.

This Dong Laosan didn't do it properly when he was young, he didn't do anything about stealing chickens and touching dogs, and he didn't pull anything about molesting his little daughter-in-law. At the age of twenty-five, he married a widow in a village who no one wanted, but the widow thought he was incompetent and left after less than a year with him. Because of this, Dong Laosan was depressed for a long time, and he didn't get anxious until there was no rice at home.

After the age of thirty, Dong Laosan woke up and felt that he couldn't do anything all day, so he found a job with the help of the village chief. The work is not heavy, he helps people feed the cattle and sheep, and the people give him a bite to eat.

learned that Xiaocao's death was related to Dong Laosan, and the people in the village didn't believe it. said that although Dong Laosan is not a good person, he can't do anything with a little girl, and this little girl is still his niece. Dong Laosan's father is the elder brother of Grandpa Xiaocao, and this relationship is closer than all the families surnamed Dong in the village.

In the words of the big guy, this rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, can he Dong Laosan put such a heavy hand on the grass?

Just as the villagers were talking about it, Qin Yeti came back with Dong Laosan's collar, and was thrown to the ground with Dong Laosan and a bag of freshly picked dried fruits.
