Hua Shi didn't understand what she meant by this smile.

Then I heard He Juanhua snort and said, "What can I do, just come and see you, see if you need help, I'll take a hand, talk to you by the way, and contact your feelings." ”

Hua Shi saw that she was sincere, stunned, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you are really too polite, what can I do to help, even if there is any work, it is a small job, I can be busy, not to mention that my younger siblings can also help with it." ”

He Juanhua nodded with a smile, looked at her, and suddenly turned her voice and said, "Did you hear something being noisy outside?" ”

Her posture and tone seemed to tell her about some gossip in the village, and the expression on her face became a little excited......

"What?" Hua Shi followed her words and asked a question.

He Juanhua was immediately excited, and said endlessly: "On the way here, I saw a dead wild boar lying in the stream not far from your yard, and the meat of the wild boar was gnawed to pieces, so it was thrown on the edge of the stream, and the water on it was dyed blood-colored, and it looked very infiltrating. ”

Take a meal.

He Juanhua continued: "When I came, many people gathered around to watch, saying that they only asked about the smell of blood, and they didn't smell the smelly smell of rotten next to it, saying that maybe the wild boar died by the stream last night, and I didn't see it during the day last night, and said that it was last night." ”

The more I listened, the more frightened I became.

Last night...... Dead Boar ......

The more you hear it, the more familiar it becomes... This formula is all right, it can't be the golden crow, right......

After a pause, he asked tentatively, "How big is that dead boar?" ”

He Juanhua thought that she had never seen a wild boar in the mountains, so she asked curiously, so she said in a loud voice: "It's not that big, it's about the same size as the black dog raised by the second brother, don't look at it, it's not very big, but the wild boar in the mountains is wild, and it rushes and collides when it sees people, and there is no hunter in the year before last, and he broke his leg by a wild boar, and it is not good until now." ”

Flower time heart slightly relieved.

If it wasn't that big, it proved that it was an ordinary wild boar that died, not as big as the two that the golden crow had brought back to the yard last night......

Hua Xiao on the side heard it really well, she looked at her sister, then at He Juanhua, and asked out loud, "Then have you seen it?" What bit that killed the boar? How could he die by the edge of the stream? ”

He Juanhua turned her head to look at Hua Xiao and snorted, "How did I know?" I stopped by and took a look, and the meat of the wild boar was bitten and rotten, especially the part of the belly, the location of the wound, which looked like it had been pecked by a bird, exactly like the cabbage in the vegetable garden that was eaten by a bird and pecked out. ”

When Hua Xiao heard this, her face suddenly changed.

He Juanhua said to herself, not realizing that her face was wrong, "However, I heard from those outside that it may be a tiger or a wild wolf in the mountains hunting for food, chasing the wild boar to the foot of the mountain, and it happened to bite the wild boar to death on the edge of the stream, so I stayed there." ”

"If you're curious, why don't you follow along? It shouldn't have been cleaned up yet, see? ”

He Juanhua listened to the questions of the two, and thought that both of them were curious, so she proposed.

Hua Shi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'm a little curious and want to see." ”

In this way, He Juanhua rushed to pull Hua Shi and Hua Xiao out of the yard and went in the direction of the stream she said, and along the way, there were many villagers who rushed in the same direction when they heard the news.

"Well, that's it, it's just that there are too many people here, and I can't see it anymore."

He Juanhua tiptoed and pointed in the direction where the crowd was most dense.

There are indeed a lot of people, and they are surrounded by water, especially at the scene of the crime, surrounded by a group of people, and the people outside stretched their necks and couldn't see them.

Hua Shi saw that he couldn't see it, so he stopped and listened to the voices of the people around him......

"Hey, did you see that dead boar? The meat is not bitten, and it is scary to look at. ”

"What's so scary about this, it's not that I haven't seen blood, I saw that the meat was bitten rotten, it's a pity, it was said that it died last night, if the meat hadn't been bitten off, it could still be picked up, boiled and eaten, this bite was rotten, I didn't eat a few bites, what a waste."

"What do you say......"

"Am I not right? I don't know which beast in the mountain ran down, how dangerous it is for the people living nearby, if you don't pay attention that night, the wild tiger and wild boar run down and crash into the door, and the person is bitten to death in his sleep, terrible ......"

The sound of those discussions was not small, and He Juanhua, who was standing next to Hua Shi, could also hear it clearly.

He Juanhua looked left and right, and saw that this place was not far from the small courtyard of the Hua family, a few steps away, and this place was close to the foot of the mountain.

If there were really wild beasts, wild boars, or something running down the mountain, maybe it would happen like Fang Cairen said......

When people are in their sleep, they are bitten to death by wild beasts, and they don't know it, and it's scary to listen to.

"Hey, girl, I listened to what the man said, and it's not safe for you to live here......" He Juanhua thought and spoke.

Hua Shi was pulled by her arm, a little unaccustomed to her familiar intimate performance, coughed and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my family also has dogs and cats, if there is really any movement at night, the dog is alert, it will bark as soon as possible, and it can also wake us up." Besides, we've lived here for decades, and we don't have to worry too much about it. ”

He Juanhua frowned and said, "That being said, you must also be more fortified, otherwise something may happen at that time." ”

"I'll keep an eye on it." Hua Shi nodded, and did not brush her kindness.

Hua Xiao, who was originally following the two of them, kept her heart, looked around with her head up, and listened to the voices of the surrounding villagers, which made her even more untenable.

The small figure got into the crowd, disappeared from the sight of the two in the blink of an eye, and ran into the crowd to see the dead boar......

The lively villagers just wanted to be fresh, listened to the gossip for a while, turned around and looked around, and after the freshness was over, they went back separately.

Although it is not busy in February, there is work to be done at home and in the field, and the lively gossip is just to listen to it, and serious work still needs to be done.

After a while, the crowd dispersed a little, and after the vision widened, Hua Shi also saw the dead wild boar lying next to the stream.

Sure enough, what Juanhua said, the blood flowed along the river, staining a lot of ground, and the place in the boar's belly was indeed like being pecked by a bird's beak, rotten and broken, and it looked a little terrifying.

Among them, in the crowd of threes and twos, Hua Xiao was also seen standing in the middle of a group of adults and children with her hands behind her back, frowning, her face was a little pale, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Hua Xiao, come here."

Hua Shi saw that her face was wrong, and beckoned her to come back.

Hua Xiao, who was immersed in her own thoughts, heard her name, and then came back to her senses, trotting back to Hua Shi's side, holding the corner of Hua Shi's clothes with one hand, her little face was still a little pale.

He Juanhua on the side also saw that Hua Xiao's face was wrong, and sighed: "What's wrong with the little girl?" So pale? Intimidated? Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have brought you here, it's really not good for children to look at this bloody thing. ”

He Juanhua bent over, reached out and touched Hua Xiao's pale face, and said with some self-reproach.

Hua Xiao stared and shook her head in distraction.

"If you don't look at it, there's nothing to see, let's go back first."

Hua Shi put his arm on the little girl's shoulder, patted it, and said.

He Juanhua seemed to really blame herself, and after hearing this, she said to Huashi: "You guys go back, I won't go with me, I'll go back first, there are still two stinky boys waiting for me at home, I'll come to see you next time." ”

Hua Shi nodded.

After saying goodbye to He Juanhua, Hua Shi took Hua Xiao back to the courtyard quickly, and closed the courtyard door with a "bang", isolating the small chatter of the villagers outside.

Hua Xiao pinched her fingers and looked at Hua uneasily, her eyes became timid, "That dead boar, is it related to last night?" What's our business? ”

Hua Shi was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask like this, and he didn't expect her to think like this.

She did suspect that it had something to do with the Golden Crow, but she had no way of knowing what it was now......

After thinking about it, Hua Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know, even if you don't have to worry, let's not talk about what happened last night, and others don't know, the meat of the two wild boars is well hidden in the kitchen, and it is not taken out for others to see, and it will be okay to eat it secretly at home." ”

Hua Xiao nodded.

seemed to listen to her words, and her pale face eased a lot.

"What are you two muttering there early in the morning? I've heard you for a long time......"

Suddenly, Hua Li's lazy and lazy whine came from the direction of the hall, rubbing her sleepy eyes, stepping on small steps, and walking towards the courtyard.

Hua Xiao glanced at him and snorted coldly: "It's all noisy outside, you just woke up now, you slept so dead, you don't know when it falls down one day." ”

Hua Li looked at Hua Xiao's back blankly, blinked her sticky eyes, and muttered puzzledly: "Early in the morning, did she eat gunpowder?" Temper so impulsive? ”

As soon as she woke up, she was caught by Hua Xiao, and Hua Li didn't react at all, what did she mean by what she said......

Hua Shi on the side did not answer his questions, but turned around and went into the kitchen, ready to make breakfast and start work.

For breakfast, I simply cooked a big pot of lean porridge, salty and fragrant porridge, with the cakes sent by He Juanhua, eating just right, making people want to stop.

"What ?!!"

Hua Li just touched his round belly, his ears were pricked up, listening to Hua Xiao talking to his second brother, and after fully understanding the meaning of those words, he almost squirted out in one breath, stared at his eyes, screamed, and exclaimed.

After a meal, Hua Xiaofang's messy mood had completely eased, and he looked at Hua Li's chaotic expression and glanced at him lightly.

“… You just said that a wild boar died on the edge of the stream not far from our yard, maybe it has something to do with what happened last night? ”

Hua Li repeated what Hua Xiao had just said.

Hua Xiao nodded.

Hua Li came back from the shock and felt a little strange: "Why do you think it has something to do with last night's incident?" Maybe it was just an accident? ”

Hua Xiao rolled her eyes, feeling a little speechless, and she didn't really want to pay attention to his questioning.

This guy is starting to find fault again...... She just said, maybe, maybe! It's related, but I didn't say it must be.

Besides, I don't even know if it's a flower, and there's nothing wrong with guessing......

Hua Xiao turned her head to look at the second brother on the side, her eyes were blazing, waiting for him to speak.

Hua Yu listened to Hua Xiao's words, the expression on his face did not change from beginning to end, at this moment, Hua Xiao stared at him, and he only glanced back lightly.

She didn't seem to take what she was worried about at all......

"What about relationships? What if it doesn't matter? No one knows, does it? ”

Under the blazing gaze of Hua Xiao and Hua Li, Hua Yu's cold voice sounded.

Obviously, the last sentence is a rhetorical question, but when it comes to people's ears, it becomes an affirmative sentence.

"Second brother, ......?" Hua Li shouted stupidly, only to feel that the eyes of the second brother looking at them made people look at them, and they became more and more strange.

The second brother has always been cold lately, and his eyes are also frightening, and every time he talks to him, he is always ...... How so......

After thinking about it, Hua Li couldn't tell what it was like, but she thought it was strange.

The second brother was not like this before, when he talked to him, he would listen to you very carefully, and he would nod his head from time to time in response, even if he looked cold and didn't like to talk much, he wouldn't make people like this...... Afraid.

As soon as Hua Shi saw Hua Yu speak, the atmosphere became silent and weird, so he said: "Okay, you just need to remember that the matter of the dead wild boar by the stream has nothing to do with us at all, and you don't have to think so much about anything else." ”

She was telling the truth.

At first, when she heard the disappearance of the dead boar, she was stunned and suspicious for a moment, but the worry was completely absent.

Especially after going to see the scene, that heart was completely put down.

Because in the final analysis, this matter, from head to toe, the villagers will not think of their side, they will only think that it is just an accident, and they will only guess that it is related to the foraging of wild beasts in the mountains, and at most they will worry about whether the villagers living at the foot of the mountain will be attacked by the wild beasts coming down the mountain.

It's completely complete, and it is impossible to think that this matter has something to do with them, thinking so much, not to mention it, it is just useless, and it is completely unnecessary.

Hua Xiao and Hua Li nodded obediently.

Hua Shi stood up, rubbed the heads of the two of them one by one, and then began to instruct again: "We still have a task today, and we don't have any free time until the fish pond in the backyard is cleared, so are you resting now?" ”

Hua Li thought a lot, and the idea of abandoning was also very fast, as soon as he heard Hua Shi change the topic, his thoughts also turned around, and he nodded excitedly: "Rest, let's go over quickly!" ”

At the beginning, when Hua Shi said that he wanted to build a fish pond, Hua Xiao and Hua Li were the first to show their incomprehension, and they didn't even want to get these things in their hearts.

But in the last two days, Hua Li also figured it out, anyway, a fish pond was built, even if it can't be sold, it doesn't matter, this fish pond is still theirs, and it is close to the yard, just walk a few steps to it, and if you want to eat fish in the future, you can eat it casually until you get tired......

Moreover, the news that he has a fish pond at home, how majestic it is, and he can still show off to Xie Wanyuan hahaha......

Hua Shi looked at Hua Xiao and Hua Li, put two small hoes on his face, and dragged Xiaohuaying, who was in a daze, and went straight to the backyard.

The backs of the three of them looked excited, and they didn't know what they were excited about......

"Flower Encounter...? Flower encounter? What are you frozen? I've called you several times. ”

Hua Shi came out of the corner of the yard, turned over the hammer, was holding it in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Hua Yu, who was sitting at the table, stunned, and even screamed several times, but Hua Yu did not respond.

"Flower encounter? ......" Hua Shi shouted twice.

"What...?"

He seemed to be in a daze, and only after a long time did he look up at her in a daze, and his subconscious movements, but his dark eyes were empty, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Hua Shi looked at him for a while before he finally focused, looking at himself, shallow doubts were in his eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Hua Shi asked curiously.

"I suddenly remembered one thing......"

When he said this, his eyes were obviously looking at her, but his pupils were very dilated, as if he was looking at something through her.

Hua Shi vaguely felt uneasy, but still asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hua Yu's pupils shook their heads, and then their eyes slowly focused, looked into her eyes and said: "There is a family surnamed Xie who raises pigs, the old man of that family the year before last, when he went to feed the pigs in the evening, his feet slipped and accidentally fell in the pigsty, and the seven or eight pigs raised in the pigsty thought that the old man lying motionless on the ground was the food fed to them by the master's family, and he ate the unconscious old man alive. ”

Saying this, Hua Yu was still staring at her eyes tightly, as if observing the change in the expression on her face.

Hua Shi stiffened his face and frowned, as if he didn't understand what he meant by this, and why.

Hua Yu sighed, as if he was regretting something: "When the family found out, there were only a few bloody bones left in the pigsty." ”

Hua Shi's frowning brows never let go, and he asked in a calm voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Hua Yu shook his head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered, you say...... People eat pork, and pigs eat human flesh. ”

With that, he stood up, reached out and took the hammer that Hua Shi was holding in his hand, put it back, took another hoe, and walked slowly in the direction of the backyard.

Hua Shi stood in place, recalling Hua Yu's words, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

What does Hua Yu mean by this......? Pigs eat human flesh? What is he trying to express......

I don't know that Hua Xiao and Hua Li feel that their second brother has changed, and Hua Shi also found out, becoming silent and rarely speaking, rarely taking the initiative to speak, most of the time they sit alone, always hanging their heads, not knowing what they are thinking.

took the initiative to speak like he did just now, so after a few days, it was the first time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked......

Spend time in deep thought.

She is now completely incomprehensible to Hua Yu, and after plotting to indirectly kill the three of the Li family, Hua Yu has become ...... Ethereal.

Yes, it's ethereal, she doesn't hang anything on her face, she doesn't ask anything, he does what she asks him to do, he doesn't ask, and he doesn't take the initiative to think about why she did it......

Take the construction of the fish pond this time as an example, when she proposed, not to mention the youngest Huaying, who was slurred in speech, she would not care about anything else except food. Even Hua Xiao and Hua Li showed doubts and incomprehension about this, and even vaguely disagreed, but because the whole family was now in charge of her, Hua Xiao and Hua Li did not show much protest.

And Hua Yu didn't care at all, she said that she would build it, and whatever she said was what it was, and she didn't mean to ask at all......

I don't know if it's good or bad.

…
