As soon as Lin Zhiyu stood up, he heard Mama's voice behind him.

"Big girl, wicker has been found."

Because Lin Zhiyu was facing away from them, the two grandmothers couldn't see what she was doing inside, the two exchanged glances, one of them handed the wicker to Qiaoxiu, and the other took the opportunity to enter the firewood room to check the situation.

"Grinding and chirping, is this daily meal eaten for nothing!"

Before he could squat down and take a closer look, Lin Zhiyu suddenly began to attack.

Mama was startled, and she didn't dare to make any big moves, so she stood in place at a loss.

She glanced at the situation in the firewood room with a cursory glance, and found that there was nothing unusual, so she replied respectfully: "Big girl, it's not that we are lazy, it's that this wicker is really hard to find, it's not easy to find, and I met a very unreasonable person, not to say that the willow tree is his, so I gave it." ”

Lin Zhiyu turned around to get the wicker, and found that the wicker was short and small, and the palm of the beating hand was almost the same.

The unreasonable person in Mama's mouth is probably Chu Nian.

It was as if he knew what he was going to do every step of the way, and invisibly, he owed him a favor.

Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but start to be a little curious about Chu Nian's identity.

"I'll find this in a long time, you should fool the children!" Lin Zhiyu shook his hand and threw the wicker on the ground, "Okay, I'm not interested, Qiaoxiu, let's go." ”

Qiao Xiu responded, glared at the two grandmothers, and quickly followed behind Lin Zhiyu.

Seeing them walking away, the grandmother in the firewood room spat on the ground and kicked Lin Xiaolian: "The little cheap hooves who are dying should be killed head-on, save a breath, and cause trouble to others!" ”

This kick happened to kick Lin Xiaolian's abdomen, and she snorted, so painful that the whole person curled up involuntarily.

"Oh, it's okay, I won't live long anyway." The grandmother outside the door frowned, and when the grandmother in the firewood room came out, she locked the door directly.

Lin Xiaolian was lying on the ground, the thatch piled up under her body was numb and thorny, and she watched as the gap in front of her that revealed the light became smaller and narrower, until it disappeared.

"Miss, what shall we do now?" On the way back, Qiaoxiu saw that Lin Zhiyu hadn't spoken, and couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go to Xu Xiuyuan's side first." Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

Passing by the previous fork in the road, Lin Zhiyu took a special look around, but found that Chu Nian had already left.

Coming and going without a trace, it's really his style of acting.

There were more and more people coming and going on the road, and it was not too early to think about it, and after Jiang Tongmiao woke up, they didn't have time to investigate carefully.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyu quickened his pace.

Knocking on Xu Jiu'er's room, Liu Er poked her head out, as if she had just finished boiling medicine, with fine beads of sweat oozing on her forehead, and when she saw that it was Lin Zhiyu, she was startled: "Big girl? Coming so early, the mother hasn't woken up yet. ”

She leaned sideways to give up a position.

"Did you see Lin Xiaolian last night?" Lin Zhiyu didn't mean to go in, and asked straight to the point.

Liu Er was very puzzled by this sudden question: "No, after the eldest girl left last night, Niang Niang rested, and no one came." ”

Lin Zhiyu asked again: "Have you received anything then?" Or do you hear something? ”

Liu Er recalled carefully: "It's true that I didn't see anything, but about a day ago, it seemed that something had fallen to the ground, and I was still sorting out the medicinal materials at the time, so I didn't go out to see it." ”

Seeing that Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu had serious faces, Liu Er asked, "But what happened to Xiaolian?" ”

Lin Zhiyu nodded solemnly and briefly said what happened this morning.

Liu Er bit her fingers, a little scared: "This, this is impossible, Xiaolian didn't do anything, what are you doing to her." ”

As he spoke, there was a burning smell in the room.

"It's broken!" Liu Er stomped her foot, "There are still medicinal herbs boiling in it!" Big girl, if there's nothing going on, I'll go in first. ”

Lin Zhiyu nodded, and Liu Er turned around and closed the door.

Qiaoxiu pondered for a long time and said, "Why does Liu Er look weird today?" ”

"Because she's lying."

Lin Zhiyu's face sank: "I just said Xiaolian, her first reaction was to ask if we had an accident, which means that she must know something." ”

"And I didn't say that we went to the firewood room to see Lin Xiaolian, but she said that someone wanted to harm Lin Xiaolian, how did you know this?"

Qiaoxiu pondered for a moment: "But Liu'er doesn't seem to be the initiator, her stature is even smaller than Xiaolian, and there is no reason to assassinate Lin Xiaolian." ”

"Qiaoxiu, let me ask you, if one day, someone threatens you with my life and asks you to help her die, will you do it or not?"

"So what does Miss mean is that someone used Xu Xiuyuan's life to threaten Liu'er?"

Lin Zhiyu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Judging from the inference just now, Liu Er more or less saw something, and even played a role in this matter.

"Xiaolian said that she smelled the fragrance on the way to Xu Xiuyuan's room, but she did not completely lose consciousness at that time, and there was only this one way to and fro, that is, there were at least two or more participants, this was not a temporary idea, but a bureau prepared for us early in the morning."

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyu's mind flashed Zhuang Younan's face.

At that time, she asked about the content of the bet, but Zhuang Younan made a fool of himself, saying that the time had not yet come.

Is this to borrow someone else's game to bet?

Lin Zhiyu's gaze darkened.

Just as Lin Zhiyu was thinking about it, Qiaoxiu, who was looking for something on the ground, made a new discovery.

"Miss, come and see, is this the food box that Mama Xu sent to our room?"

Qiaoxiu handed the broken piece of wood in his hand to Lin Zhiyu.

Last night, Lin Zhiyu personally put the rabbit meat into the food box, so she still has a little impression of the pattern on the food box.

"The pattern is the same, but this small piece alone doesn't mean anything."

Lin Zhiyu lowered his head and turned to study the piece of wood that had just been discovered.

The weather is humid at night, so the soil on the ground will be softer, but when the sun comes out in the morning and the weather gets hotter, the ground will become dry and firm again.

Sure enough, not far from the broken pieces of wood, Lin Zhiyu saw an extremely shallow footprint.

Qiaoxiu squatted down, and after taking a closer look, she said, "Looking at this length and depth, it should also be a woman, and her body should be taller than Lin Xiaolian." ”

Lin Zhiyu gestured the length of the footprints with his hand, as if thinking about something.
