Jiuhong hesitated, there were already people blocking the door panel, she knew that there would always be people who touched and looked for her, at least the people who came were kind and kind, not vicious, she didn't avoid it anymore, and said slightly: "I don't know anything." ”

An old woman's voice in the house asked if she was a guest at home, and she was about to answer, Sun Shining pointed to herself and said softly, "Cousin." She was also a wise man, and she coped with this, and when the old woman heard that her relatives had come, she said that she might not hurry up and invite someone into the house to sit down.

Jiu Hong glanced at the three of them quickly, as if she was thinking about whether the consequences of doing this would be to lure the wolf into the room, but Sun Shining's appearance was too gentle and gentle, she really didn't look like a bad person, she was a little weak-hearted, and suppressed her voice and said: "It's my mother-in-law in the house, she doesn't know anything." ”

"Well, I don't know anything." Sun Shining answered very cleverly, and winked at her, Jiu Hong bit her lip and led them into the house.

"Xiaohong, isn't there no one in your family, why is there another cousin?" The old woman sat at the window, and from the angle from which Sun Shining entered the house, she understood that the old man had an eye disease and couldn't see anything, which saved trouble.

"I am cousins with Sister Hong, my mother married far away, rarely comes back, occasionally correspondence knows that Sister Hong is married here, just passing through here to visit." Sun Shining reacted quickly and answered without leakage.

Shen Nianyi said in a deep voice behind her: "We came in a hurry, we didn't have time to prepare gifts, this is the ten yuan that my mother-in-law brought before going out, please smile if you are careful." ”

The appropriate benefits of the cooperation between the two people, Qiu Cheng became the follower of the newlywed couple, took out the silver coin, put it on the table, the old woman's hand, Jiu Hong looked at the three of them with some incredulity, the old woman's fingers touched the ten yuan without hesitation, and when she spoke again, her tone was much more polite: "Xiaohong, you still have such sensible relatives in your family, why haven't you mentioned it before?" ”

"If you live far away, you don't often walk around and mention it." Jiuhong swallowed.

"It's so reasonable, even if you live far away, you can move around a lot." The old woman took the ten yuan on the table tremblingly in her hand, "Since it is a heart, we will accept it, Xiaohong will talk to your cousin, and I will go and put away the money, and when Da Zhuang comes back, let him buy some good wine and good food." ”

"Mother walks slowly." Jiuhong sent the old woman to the door, didn't go out again, she came back and stood in front of the three of them, changing her submissive appearance, after all, she had seen the world in and out of a large family, and she could not be humble or arrogant at this time, "Several, although I have done something in the He family, but I was kicked out a few months ago because of a mistake, so something happened to the He family, and I don't want to take care of it, I just want to live here in peace, you have also seen, my blind mother-in-law has nothing to do with this matter." ”

Clear-eyed people can see that the old woman is not good to Jiuhong, but they didn't expect her to maintain it like this, presumably for the man called Da Zhuang, Sun Shining didn't answer, so he sighed softly, the room was silent for a while, Shen Nianyi's fingers shook lightly behind his back twice, Qiu Cheng had already arrived at the door, in case the blind old woman came to listen to the corner, Sun Shining chuckled, Shen Nianyi's inquiring eyes turned around, and she said: "That mother-in-law won't come, she must have gone back to her house to hide ten pieces of money." ”

Shen Nian has always been careful, but the woman's mentality is not as detailed as Sun Shining's figure-out, and ten guan money is nothing in his eyes, and he never thought that for such a small family, ten guan money is already a great windfall: "That's okay, we just asked a few words, Miss Jiuhong made it clear, we will leave immediately." ”

"Who are you?" Jiu Hong asked rhetorically, looking at the faces of the three of them one by one, "My mother-in-law is blind, but I can see that this is obviously still a girl's dress, and she will marry wherever she is, and she doesn't have any mother-in-law." ”

"This excuse is not easy for Sister Hong to say in the future, if the mother-in-law asks again, why didn't that cousin come, Sister Hong said that she married far away and will not come again in the past few years." When Sun Shining mentioned Wen Wu'er just now, she clearly saw that her eyebrows were frowning, so it could be seen that she was not a ruthless person, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Hong, we are definitely not bad people." ”

"I heard that after the accident in the He family, the county master didn't dare to take over, so Tiandu sent a powerful official to investigate the case, wouldn't you just come from Tiandu?" Jiuhong is very concerned about the case of the He family, she is just afraid that she will get into trouble, these days she is hiding at home, the door is not the same, and now the neighbors at home only know that her name is Xiaohong, that is, those officials can't find Jiuhong after turning over and over.

"We came from Dali Temple to investigate the case." Shen Nian saw that Jiuhong had let down his guard, and understood that it was easy to speak at this time, so he asked straight to the point, "Wen Wu'er's mother is the goddaughter picked up by the housekeeper of the He family, who is she?" ”

When Jiuhong let people in, she knew that she would ask about these old things, and she said in a low voice: "She is my senior sister, called Jiuqing, we offended people outside, and we wanted to find a place to hide for a while, and at that time, we had an idea and hid in He's house." ”

Shen Nianyi took out a copper lock and put it on the table: "You must recognize this." ”

"This is our master's unique skill, my senior sister is skillful and does it more finely than me." Jiuhong glanced at it and replied.

"Why did she dig a secret door under the hearth?"

"I'm afraid that the enemy will come to the door, the He family is the imperial history of resigning and returning home, and the origin is not small, but our enemy is not good at stubble, and my senior sister always says that it is better to keep the back road than to face the enemy head-on." Jiu Hong's eyes turned red and said, "Senior sister is more capable than me in everything, but I didn't expect that I still didn't escape the catastrophe." ”

Shen Nianyi heard the door in this sentence: "Is your enemy the murderer of the He family?" ”

"Murderer? Has the murderer of the He family been caught? The confusion on Jiuhong's face didn't look like it was faked. Our enemy is a killer, he has always been alone, there are forty or fifty people in the He family, one person can't kill it, besides, the second son is a good martial artist, and he is famous. ”

"Even if what you say is true, but there is only one person hiding in the secret door in the hearth, and your senior sister has set a way back, so she doesn't think about you and her children?" Shen Nian asked, "She originally planned to protect herself and ignore you!" ”

Sun Shining hadn't seen the truth in the hearth, and when he heard Shen Nianyi say this, it was really not right, the senior sisters took refuge together, how to avoid it, and had a different heart, Jiu Hong smiled and said: "Senior sister didn't plan to hide it from me, because I met Da Zhuang and wanted to leave her, she refused at first, but then she thought about it and agreed, saying that she was married, and if she left the He family, even if she broke the clue, it was best that even she didn't know where I married and where I lived, so even if someone pointed a sword at her neck, she couldn't confess, That's the safest way to go. ”

Although this sounds a little unkind, the truth is right, if you really don't know, then you won't betray it, this senior sister called Jiuqing is a smart person.

Sun Shining shook his head and said, "Since only one person can be hidden, what about Wu'er, where is she going to hide the child?" ”

Jiuhong smiled miserably, but did not speak.

"Wu'er is not her biological child." This time it was Shen Nianyi who answered for her, "Do you remember Wen Wu'er's words, he said that the housekeeper grandfather saw that their mother and son were pitiful, so he agreed to recognize his godfather, I am afraid that Wu'er's use is only to earn sympathy, so she didn't plan to take this child to escape from the chase together." ”

Sun Shining's eyes widened suddenly, but Jiuhong's expression showed that Shen Nianyi's words were not wrong, Wu'er was just a tool, and it had already completed its use value, so just let it fend for itself, she thought about it like this, her hands couldn't help but tremble and said: "But, but at the moment of the catastrophe, she didn't stuff Wu'er into the hearth, if she hid in it herself, the one who died would definitely not be her." ”

"I heard you say that I thought of it when Wu'er was still alive, senior sister, she was not as affectionate as she thought, she said hard before I left, if one day the enemy comes to the door, she will leave Wu'er and run away alone, saving a burden." Jiuhong still couldn't hold back and cried, "Actually, what she said is all the opposite, she is a cook in the He family, if she leaves, Wu'er still has that godfather, it is much more reliable than following her to escape, since then, she has planned a way out for Wu'er, but we have been hiding for a few years and did not die in the hands of the enemy, but the senior sister still died in the He family." ”

Shen Nianyi and Sun Shining thought of the tragic scene in the stove room, Jiuqing died on the stove, instead of dodging the killer's tricks, she was willing to use her last strength to pounce on the cover, the child in the hearth, called her mother for a few years, she is a hard-hearted person, and she has already regarded him as her own, if you can still do the last little thing for him, then leave the opportunity to give birth to him, the child is still young, there is still a long, long way to go in the future, and she has been hiding for a few years, and the junior sister is also gone, What does it matter if you live a few more years or a few years less.

"Senior sister's martial arts are not weak, if you resist, maybe there is a way to survive." Jiuhong cried louder and louder, "I hate it so much, I hate why I want to leave, if I am still in the He family, then join forces together, and my senior sister will not die." ”

"If you stay, probably all three of you will die." Sun Shining took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Now that two of the three people are alive, your senior sister will feel relieved if she knows about it." ”

"When I left, I felt that it was inappropriate, the He family always revealed a gloom that could not be explained, everyone was wary of each other, that Master He had to grind and chirp in the study all day long, and only allowed the senior sister to send food in, I asked the senior sister what was going on, but the senior sister refused to say." Jiu Hong pinched the handkerchief and pinched it very tightly, "If Senior Sister had told me at that time, we would have left the He family early and found another place to go, it would have been better than this ending." ”
