Chapter 253 narrows the scope of the investigation
Several children saw Qingqing checking the fire bucket there, and they all gathered around.
"Do you know who in the village has a fire fight?" Qingqing asked.
Ermao and Dafa glanced at it and shook their heads.
The little brothers thought for a while, and the elder brother Yu Cun replied: "I have one at home, but it seems to have been used by my mother to scoop chicken food." ”
"Oh, why did you change it to a scoop?" Qingqing asked.
The younger brother Yu Cai hurriedly replied: "My mother said, this was deceived by the merchant, it can't be used, it's a pity to throw it away, think about it, it can only be used to scoop chicken food." ”
These two brothers have a good memory, and they also remember these trivial things.
As soon as they said this, Dafa also remembered.
"It seems that I also have one at home, but I don't know where to throw it away, and I can't use it."
"Do you remember when you bought this hopper?" Qingqing asked again.
The little brothers shook their heads.
"For as long as we can remember, we have been using this chicken food at home, and the handle is deformed for a long time."
Qingqing's eyes flashed.
It seems that these fire buckets with questionable quality should be sold by the same merchant.
It may be that the blacksmith apprentice who is not skilled in his skills can use it, and he can't use it when he makes it, so he asks the merchants who walk the streets and alleys to pick it up and sell it in the village, and it may be that the price of selling it is very cheap at that time, so many families in the village have it.
The children said that this batch of fire hoppers with safety hazards has existed for many years, and many households in the village have them, which means that this thing has safety hazards, not a secret.
This matter is well known in the village, but Qingqing and Buli came back from outside, and they don't know much about this thing, so they use it as an ordinary object when they receive it.
Extrapolating in this way, the person who sent the fire bucket was not unintentional, she was intentional!
Thinking of this, Qingqing's eyes were more sharp and a little puzzled.
Who in the village would hate her so much?
The fire bucket happened before Yu Donkey and the others came back, so it was excluded that Yu Donkey, who was bent on seizing power, also excluded the pedantic Manshan - although Manshan was a little stupid, but people were not bad, and they couldn't think of such harmful things.
So the one who sent the fire bucket must be one of the female rolls in the village, who is it?
Buli came in with a bag of rice, and when he saw Qingqing holding a fire bucket, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"I've already asked Dawu to investigate, and he will give me an answer tomorrow at the latest."
"Hey, when was that?" Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Just after the ancestral hall discussion in the morning, his daughter-in-law has a broken mouth and likes to chew her tongue from house to house, so it is just right to check this thing." Although he has been busy dealing with the matter of "going to the household registration" in the past few days, it is not a trivial matter in his heart to trace the source of the fire bucket.
Anything related to Qingqing's safety is not a trivial matter in the eyes of Inseparable.
Qingqing gave a thumbs up approvingly, she is really good at employing people, and no one is more suitable to investigate this matter than the second aunt.
As long as you find out all the people in the village who bought fire buckets back then, and then check them one by one, you can find out who wanted to harm her.
After eating, they did not leave the children, Hu Lao and Xi brothers were like protecting the Dharma left and right, and a group of people drove the carriage to take the yellow book and set off.
Buli and Qingqing set a trap on the medicine mountain, these days are busy, and they don't bother to go up to see, first go to the mountain to see the trap, collect the prey and then start the inventory from the village over there, no time is wasted, and the time is very well coordinated.
Qingqing originally wanted to go with her, but she couldn't leave anyone at home.
There will be big movements in the village and county today, and Li Liang, who is in the city, will definitely send someone over to deliver the news, and Qingqing will stay at home and wait for the letter.
After taking people away, Qingqing excused herself from being tired and wanted to rest, stopped Yan Mei'er and the other women who visited the door outside, closed the door, set up the table, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the map she came from the county government, and reproduced it like this.
Drawing is a very delicate work, which requires a measuring tape, and it just so happens that Hu Laoxi has it in the belongings he brought back from the cottage, and he built a house before he went up the mountain, and these guys are very complete.
Qingqing borrowed the measuring tape and carefully tipped the map.
The original parchment roll was not large, and it looked more eye-consuming, so Qingqing enlarged it three times according to the scale, and it took nearly an hour to finish it.
Seeing that the time was still rich, she restored a small one by one according to the size on the parchment roll.
In this way, when you are studying tactics at home, you can see the big one, and if you want to go out in the future, it is more convenient to carry the small one with you.
The drawing book is one of her professional classes, and she is quite handy at it.
As soon as the two maps were finished, the second aunt came over and stood outside the courtyard and shouted:
"Grandma, are you at home?"
"Here, come in!" Qingqing answered and quickly put away the map.
The second aunt pushed the door in, and when she entered the room, she saw the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, so she asked curiously: "What are you writing here?" ”
"It's been too long since I've practiced calligraphy, take it out and practice, have you found out something?" Qingqing asked.
At the mention of this, the second aunt's eyebrows instantly fluttered, her eyes were full of pride, she took out a handful of peanuts from her pocket and handed it to Qingqing, this look is about to tell a story.
Qingqing shook her head and politely rejected her raw peanuts, dragged the basket from the kang slightly, and handed the garlic peanuts inside to the second aunt.
The second aunt put the raw peanuts back in her pocket with a smile, grabbed a handful from the basket fiercely, her hands were not enough, and the peanuts were full of peanuts that were about to fall, so she stopped them with her chin, and saw Qingqing with a black line.
"You open up to eat, when you go back, I'll fill some more for you, don't just take care of eating for yourself, but also keep some wine for your family Dawu, don't hide it secretly, when he sees it and wants to beat you up, I won't speak for you."
The second aunt's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she muttered again: "Grandma, I'm afraid you don't know how to read minds, how do you know that I want to hide it and not give it to that dead ghost?" ”
Qingqing snorted twice, this still uses mind reading? The second aunt likes to take advantage of the problem, I'm afraid she won't be able to change it in this life.
These two people are simply folk comedians in the village, how many jokes do they provide for falling in love and killing each other, Qingqing feels that if you can't hear the jokes of these two people one day, Dayu Village will be boring.
】
The second aunt told Qingqing while knocking peanuts.
"I have found out everything that Grandpa asked me to check. This fire bucket, it's been a few years, I remember that when I first married in our village, a merchant came to sell it, and many people in the village bought it at that time, and my mother-in-law was still alive, and she didn't let me buy it, she was reluctant to spend money......"
The second aunt couldn't hold it when she opened the chatterbox, so she first told Qingqing about her "history of suffering" bullied by her mother-in-law like a resentful woman, and she was foaming at the mouth, if Qingqing hadn't interrupted her to continue to ask about the fire fight, I was afraid that she would be able to complain about her mother-in-law until it was dark.
"I inquired, except for our family and a few other families in the village who didn't buy it, they all have this, but now there are only three that still have this thing."
