"Mrs. Chu, did you think of something?" Xiao Wu saw her expression and sensed that something was wrong.

Su Liuye pulled Xiao Wu to the side, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Xiao Wu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Su Liuye in surprise, "Mrs. Chu, is what you said true?" ”

"It's not certain yet, but according to what the aunts said, it's probably enough, you hurry up and inform Lord Xiao! If something really happens, Lord Xiao will take all the responsibility. ”

"Mrs. Chu, I'm going to watch you here......"

"No need, Xiao Wu, go quickly!" Su Liuye said solemnly, "This matter is very important, if it is really as I guessed, the imperial court will receive serious losses!" You are the person next to Lord Xiao, you must care more about this matter than I do! Little five, hurry up! Those miners only left this morning, and you should go over and tell Master Xiao now, maybe it's still too late. ”

"But I ......"

"I'll go back and tell my husband about this now, and we'll go our separate ways!" Su Liuye said, "If I guess correctly, the man in the black robe in the mouth of the aunts should be the one who did it to me, he has already left, and I will be careful on the road." ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu was still hesitating, Su Liuye simply pushed her and said hurriedly, "Xiao Wu, you go quickly!" If this matter is delayed, it will definitely harm Lord Xiao! ”

Xiao Wu bit her lip, and her hesitant gaze lingered on the mountain road and Su Liuye, afraid that after she left, Su Liuye would encounter an accident.

But hearing Su Liuye say this, she didn't know that she couldn't delay any longer, "Mrs. Chu, you just wait for me in the village, I'll go find someone to inform Lord Xiao now, and I'll be back soon!" ”

Although the small village in front of me is very small, there are also small shops where you can stay overnight, and Su Liuye can wait here. There are so many people nearby, I believe that the people on the side of the fifth princess don't dare to do it.

It takes half an hour to walk back to the house from here, and due to the snow, you won't meet half a person on the mountain road for a long time. Xiao Wu really didn't worry about letting Su Liuye go back alone, so it was better to wait for her to come back here.

As long as she returns to Pingyang Town, there is a way to find someone to spread the news to Xiao Yun, and it will take half an hour from the small village to the town, but if she is faster, she can probably come back before dark.

Su Liuye looked in the direction she said, there was indeed a small homestay there. It is said that it is a homestay, but in fact, it is a house where the villagers live, and they rent it to others after a little tidying up.

It's okay to stay for a while.

Su Liuye thought that this was also a way, if she went back alone, she wouldn't be able to find anyone to help if she encountered any accidents on the way.

They went to a nearby house and paid some money to stay here for a day.

"Little Wu, hurry up and find Lord Xiao! Uncle Niu and Sister-in-law Niu will be at home, and I can find them for anything. ”

Uncle Niu and Uncle Niu are the owners here, and they rest one of the rooms in the house and provide it to the guests.

Because this small village is located at the foot of the mine, the miners' families often come to live temporarily, and the business is quite good.

"Mrs. Chu, you wait for me to come back, please don't go around until I come back." Xiao Wu said solemnly.

Before leaving, she deliberately looked around to make sure there was no problem before leaving.

"Little lady, this is the sweet soup I just cooked, you can come and drink a bowl too." Sister-in-law Niu came over with hot sugar water.

Su Liuye asked her about the situation in the village, wanting to know if anyone else had come down from the mine.

Sister-in-law Ah Niu was surprised, "Naturally, it won't." Little lady, don't you know? In the past, the iron ore on the mine would be closed before the winter, and it was not allowed to go up the mountain again, and the mine would be sealed on a snowy day, and no one would enter the mountain at this time. ”

"This time it's because the imperial court suddenly needs a large amount of iron ore, in fact, not only our Pingyang Town, but also several nearby mines are mining. Probably because the need is too urgent, this time the court gives a lot of wages, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and no one will refuse this opportunity. ”

Su Liuye had heard these words before.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law, will someone in the mine secretly take away the things inside?" I just heard from my aunt at the entrance of the village that I saw a few people coming down from the mountain road this morning, and they looked like miners. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Sister-in-law Niu was surprised. She frowned and thought for a moment, the look in her eyes flickered, and she looked like she wanted to say something.

Su Liuye knew that she must know some inside information, but because these things were important, she couldn't talk nonsense.

Su Liuye said simply, "Sister-in-law, I heard that those people were in a hurry at that time, maybe they took something away from the mine." I won't tell you anything, my husband's surname is Chu, and he is working as a steward in the mine. ”

"Mr. Chu is your husband?!"

Su Liuye originally wanted to prove her identity, but Sister-in-law Ah Niu's eyes really lit up, and she hurriedly went over and called Uncle Ah Niu over, "Big Niu, Big Niu!" Come here, this little lady is Mr. Chu's wife, come here! ”

The degree of their enthusiasm surprised Su Liuye, and when she reacted, Sister-in-law Ah Niu had already helped Uncle Niu, who was limping, to come over, and said excitedly, "Look at it! ”

Uncle Niu was lame in one of his legs, and Su Liuye had already discovered it, so Sister-in-law Niu was busy with most of the things.

Seeing them coming over so excitedly, Su Liuye hurriedly got up, "Uncle Niu, sister-in-law Niu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Little lady, is your husband really Mr. Chu?" Sister-in-law A Niu asked with excitement in her eyes.

"Yes, Sister-in-law, you, is there something wrong with you?"

"Little lady, don't get me wrong! My big cow was helped by Mr. Chu once before, if it weren't for Mr. Chu, our store wouldn't have been able to open. Sister-in-law Ah Niu sighed, "Last month, Da Niu accidentally broke his leg on the mountain, and many people in the village targeted our family's shop and wanted to drive us away, but fortunately Mr. Chu helped." ”

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law A Niu wiped a handful of tears.

Uncle Niu next to him nodded again and again, and a big man's voice became hoarse, "Yes, yes, if it wasn't for Mr. Chu's help at that time, the two of us would have been driven to the street, and we wouldn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Su Liuye was surprised.

Ah Niushu eased his emotions before telling her that the house was not owned by the couple and the couple, they were from another village. Because it used to be a hunter, it was often necessary to go into the mountains, and it would be much more convenient to live in the village at the foot of the mountain.
