Cheng Linchang saw that his younger brother was drunk and wanted to drink again, so he put away the wine on the table and went out to hand it over to Cheng Zhang.

Cheng Zhang shook his head and whispered: "I have also persuaded your father, this time both sides are making trouble, how can this be done?" ”

Cheng Linchang said: "Mother, don't worry, it's good that the two of them are angry enough." ”

Cheng Zhang could only nod helplessly.

It didn't take long for Taro to bring back the news of Cheng Zhang's family.

"People lost?!"

Xianghua and Chenglin Chang were dumbfounded.

Cheng Linchang was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "My brother and sister are such a big living person, why did they lose their dignity?" ”

Taro said: "The Sun family drove out the Cheng Sun family five days ago, saying that Sun Jindou was talking about the age of marriage, and there was an abandoned woman at home, and she couldn't afford to lose such a big person." ”

Cheng Linchang slapped the table and said angrily: "It's really done!" ”

When Cheng Sun's family was kicked out, there were only quilts and a few clothes in the baggage, and the entanglement was also taken away by the Sun family. The Sun family meant that she was desperate and had no choice but to return to her family. But Cheng Sun's family refused, so he built a grass hut on the nearby mountain to live, and ate wild fruits and drank water when he was hungry. ”

Xianghua thought, although it is not freezing now, but there are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain, and the woman is alone on the mountain, if she encounters these things, it will be difficult to say.

Taro continued: "In the first few days, people from their village went up the mountain to collect firewood and saw her, and some people couldn't bear to give her a little food. I heard that she was so hungry that everyone took off her face, and she ate whatever she was given. But then these people didn't see anyone, and that day someone went to see her straw hut, which was empty, and even the quilt was torn and broken. ”

Cheng Linchang's face changed color, and he exclaimed: "It's bad, didn't she give it to the wolf?" ”

Xianghua also had an ominous premonition in her heart, so she asked, "In addition to the quilt, are there any other weirdness?" ”

Taro smiled at her heartily and said, "I saw that those people couldn't speak clearly, so I went to see the grass shed." Fortunately, it had not rained for the past few days, and it was similar to what those people said, except for the broken quilt, and there was no blood on the ground. ”

Cheng Linchang panicked, and asked Xianghua again: "Then what's going on?" Where have the people gone? ”

Xianghua said: "People don't know where they went, but they shouldn't have been taken away by wolves." How the hell it is, I'll wait until Taro and I go there to see it. Dad, you tell grandpa and grandma the news, speak slowly, don't scare them. ”

Cheng Linchang nodded hurriedly.

Without further ado, Xianghua immediately went out with taro to Chengsun's mother's house.

"What do you think is going on?"

Xianghua carried her skirt and walked the mountain road with difficulty, and she did not forget to sort out the clues on the way.

Taro kept an eye on her feet and said, "I don't feel like a beast, like a man-made disaster." ”

Xianghua smiled back at him and nodded, "The hero sees the same thing. The next question is who will do it. ”

"Could it be the Sun family?"

Xianghua shook her head: "In this situation, they will definitely not be able to get rid of the accident of the Cheng Sun family, and the Sun Zhou family will not ask for trouble." ”

"Someone else from the same village?"

Xianghua said with a smile: "I haven't heard that she has ever had a feud with anyone in the village, and it is estimated that this credit has been robbed by her mother." If it is said that someone is trying to take revenge on Sun Zhou, it is possible, but it is too much to sue for this life. ”

As she spoke, she slipped and almost fell, but fortunately, Taro intervened in time to support her waist.

"Thank you." Xianghua regained its footing.

The tips of the taro's ears are a little red.

He looked at her every day, but he didn't notice that Xianghua was already a pretty girl. The ancients said that the slender waist is slim and not easy to grasp, and this is roughly it.

Xianghua didn't think of these at all, and then said: "I thought about it, but I thought of a few suspects, with motives, time, and means. ”

Taro asked, "Who is it?" ”

Xianghua looked back and smiled: "It's us." ”

The taro shook his head.

"My festival with Cheng Sun's family is well known in Qingshan Village, and if you want to say that she is in trouble, I should be the happiest, and this is not wrong. And my family has money now, and if I really want to spend some money to hire a murderer, it's not impossible to do it. ”

Taro smiled bitterly and said, "How can anyone say that about themselves? Even if you want to clean her up, you will be able to convince her by drumming in front of her. ”

Xianghua smiled: "That's nature. But when she thought about it, no one would beat her idea. ”

"What if it's just a coincidence? The person who did it didn't know who she was, but he saw that she was lonely, so he did it. ”

Xianghua paused, and suddenly turned around and said, "If that's the case, you have to bring Dabao, well, bring the ingots too!" ”

Taro was stunned.

There was indeed nothing in Chengsun's grass hut, but Dabao was worthy of being a big treasure, and it turned out a torn handkerchief from the broken quilt.

Taro picked it up and showed it to Xianghua: "Is this hers?" ”

Xianghua pinched her nose and waved her hand: "Which woman would use this kind of handkerchief?" I don't know how long I haven't washed it, and it smells. ”

The taro also smelled a little, and there was indeed a pungent smell, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "It's a mimedic." ”

Xianghua snorted and pinched her nose tighter: "You said there are strange things on this veil?" ”

"That's right." He also pinched his nose. This veil was covered by a quilt, and the smell of the medicine on it had not yet dissipated, "It seems that Cheng Sun's was taken away for only two days." ”

"Since they all use this thing, 10% of it is made by people. The two of us may not be able to solve this matter, so let's report it to the official first. ”

Xianghua asked the taro to let go, and she clamped the handkerchief between two branches. Dabao thought she was teasing it, and was about to pounce when she stuck out her tongue, but was slapped away by Yuanbao.

The magistrate listened to the words of the two of them, and let the master look at the handkerchief with the mystery and medicine, and the two of them glanced at each other, and their faces were a little solemn.

Xianghua said: "If you encounter any difficulties, you might as well say it and discuss it, and the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang." ”

The magistrate sighed and said: "I won't tell you, I haven't thought about tea and dinner these days, and I can't sleep well, just for this matter." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xianghua asked, "Is there the same thing?" ”

The master explained: "Xianghua girl, this year's wind and rain are smooth, our lord wanted to live happily for a year, but who would have thought that someone in Baishi Village reported to the official last month that a woman in the family was lost, and the lord sent an official to investigate, but found nothing." There are robbers near Baishi Village all the year round, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find them, so this matter will be put aside. ”

"How did the woman get lost?"

"I also quarreled with a man, and when I was angry, I said that I would go back to my parents' house, and I didn't see him on the way back to my parents' house." The master sighed and said, "It didn't take long for three more reports to the official, and the reports were all women missing. ”

"Are they all women?"

The master shook his head and said, "Two women, and a child." The family who lost the child came to ask every few days, but so far no one has found it. ”

Xianghua also felt that this matter was serious, so she asked: "How many times were the same as this time, there was this veil that caused confusion and medicine?" ”
