After going down the back mountain, Shen Qi noticed that his back was soaked with sweat.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Qi did not rush back to Village Chief Wang's house in a hurry, but walked around the village.

Although the pressure of the case and his previous experience in the Mountain Temple made Shen Qi a little uneasy, it was undeniable that the scenery of Wangjia Village was indeed excellent. Now that you're here, it's a shame if you don't enjoy it.

Thinking about Yu Cheng'an, they should not have returned to Village Chief Wang's house yet, so it is better to take advantage of the current situation to go around, on the one hand, it can be regarded as a little relaxation. On the other hand, there may be some other clues to be found.

Although it is not as full of flowers as the mountain in front of the house, tourists come in droves. But here the mountains and rivers depend on each other, and the stone houses are scattered, which is also a rare paradise.

Beyond the courtyard on the west side, there is a large stone mill.

At this moment, a young man was struggling to push the stone, and a middle-aged woman was sitting on the stone next to her, sweating profusely.

"Anzi, just slow down. The middle-aged woman said, "Auntie just broke her foot, and she can continue to push and roll after resting for a while." You are weak, don't push yourself too hard. ”

Shen Qi couldn't help but pause, and looked at the two people next to Shi Ran.

"Fourth aunt, you have been in poor health, so don't work hard. The young man known as Anzi said: "If I get hurt again, what can I do with my fourth uncle and a few younger brothers and sisters?"

The fourth aunt sighed and said, "There's no way." In the past, your fourth uncle worked as a helper in Wang Yuan's house, not to mention big fish and meat, at least he could eat and clothe himself. Now that Wang Yuanwai is unfortunately gone, your fourth uncle can't go to work anymore. For the sake of your younger brothers and sisters, the fourth aunt also needs to do something, right?"

Shen Qi was slightly stunned, and walked towards the two of them quietly.

The fourth aunt noticed Shen Qi first, raised her head to take a look, and said, "Young man, it's very raw." Are you here to play or ......"

Shen Qi nodded at the fourth aunt and said, "In Xia Shen Qi, I came here with my friends to play." ”

The fourth aunt nodded and said, "Oh, no wonder I saw two young girls on the road earlier, and they are also your companions, right?"

Shen Qi was stunned, and immediately understood that the people that the fourth aunt said should be Jiu'er and Wan Lejing, so he nodded and said, "Yes, they are my companions." ”

The fourth aunt couldn't help laughing and said, "The young man is so blessed." The two girls are very good-looking, and they are very beautiful! We mountain people like us can't see each other a few times in our lives!"

Shen Qi not only smiled embarrassedly, knowing that the fourth aunt was afraid that she had misunderstood something, but he did not explain, because he was more concerned about what the two of them talked about before.

Walking in front of An Zi, Shen Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, I'll help you." ”

"Ah, no, no!" Anzi seemed a little shy, and hurriedly shook her head and continued to push, "I ...... I'll do it alone!"

The fourth aunt also waved her hand hurriedly and said, "How can this be done? The young man is from the town, right? How can you do this kind of rough work?"

Shen Qi smiled, scratched his head and said, "This aunt, although I am not good at farm work, I have a lot of strength." Besides, I'm here to play, and to feel the joy of doing farm work, isn't it?"

The fourth aunt pondered for a moment, and then said to Anzi: "Anzi, since this young master wants to try, you let him come." ”

Anzi was stunned for a moment, then stopped, then wiped his sweat, and said: "This big brother, grinding rice is really tiring, you can push it slowly for a while, and I will replace you at any time." ”

Shen Qi nodded, knowing that both of them regarded themselves as the kind of young masters of the family who stretched out their hands for clothes and opened their mouths for food.

However, Shen Qi didn't have the slightest intention of justifying, but put his hand on the chop and said, "Just push it forward, right?"

Anzi nodded and said, "Yes, you just push forward, and the rice will come and return." ”

"Okay. Shen Qi responded, and with his body, he pushed the mill up.

With a booming sound, the mill rolled smoothly, and the speed was no slower than that of Anzi.

The fourth aunt and An Zi couldn't help but light up in their eyes, and then they knew that what Shen Qi just said was more powerful than just talking.

After pushing about four or five times, Anzi was quick to move, and took a small bamboo broom to sweep the rice on the edge of the mill to the bottom of the mill again, so as to facilitate Shen Qi's rice grinding.

After the mill has been rolled over, the rice makes a clattering sound.

"This young master, you can really do it!" The fourth aunt said beside her: "I thought you were a fancy and fake trick, but I didn't expect it to be much better than me." ”

Shen Qi's face was not red or panting, and he said with a smile: "I thought that farm work was hard, but I didn't expect it to be really interesting at first glance." ”

"Ouch, young master, what you said is true. The fourth aunt couldn't help laughing and said, "You will know how hard it is to do it for a few days." ”

"To tell you the truth, I'm from Guiyun Town. Shen Qi suddenly said: "Listening to the conversation between the two of you before, this Wangjia Village is Wang Deyou's hometown outside Wang Yuanwai?"

The fourth aunt and An Zi were stunned for a moment, and then said with some suspicions: "The prince said that the king is someone else......, right? Wang De...... Friends?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately showed an embarrassed expression, and said, "Oh, it's really ...... Originally, I thought that the Wang Yuanwai we mentioned was a person, but I didn't expect that I took it for granted. ”

Saying this, Shen Qi secretly wrote down the name "Wang Changgui".

Now that he finally knew Wang Yuanwai's real name, Shen Qi couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

The fourth aunt smiled and said, "There are so many people with the surname Wang in this world, there are not a thousand but eight hundred who can become outsiders, right? ”

Anzi shook his head and said, "No, Fourth Aunt." The eldest brother said that Wang Yuanwai is also in Guiyun Town, didn't Wang Yuanwai in our village also buy a big house in Guiyun Town?"

The fourth aunt was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's a coincidence, isn't it? After all, the two names are different! I haven't heard that Wang Yuanwai has changed his name." Your fourth uncle also said that the name Wang Yuan used when he returned to Yunzhen was Wang Changgui!"

When he heard this, Shen Qi couldn't help but have some doubts again: Is this "Wang Changgui" the Wang Yuanwai that his party wants to investigate? If so, why did Brother Yu mention the name "Wang Deyou" on the Xuanjiawei mission he received?

Could it really be a mistake?

Could it be that the king who was killed was ...... In addition to the Wang Yuan who appeared in the Lingshan Temple, there were actually two people...... Both of them are surnamed Wang, and they happen to be outsiders?

So, all previous inferences ...... All wrong?

Shen Qiyi only felt chaos for an instant.

"Big brother?" Anzi couldn't help but shout when he saw Shen Qi stunned on the spot.

"Ah," Shen Qi came back to his senses, and immediately scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I'm really sorry, I just thought about things." ”

"This young master, are you...... The adults who came to investigate Wang Yuanwai's death?" the fourth aunt not only lowered her voice.

"Huh?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with some curiosity: "Auntie, how do you know...... Will someone come to investigate Wang Yuanwai's death?"

When the fourth aunt saw Shen Qi's appearance, she knew that she had guessed correctly before, so she smiled and whispered, "It's what the village chief said." ”

Anzi next to him also nodded, and his gaze at Shen Qi was full of reverence.

Shen Qi couldn't help but frown secretly.

Why did the village chief tell me about this? Brother Yu didn't say it...... Is this a very secret mission?

"Auntie," Shen Qi continued to push up the stone grinder, and said, "You guessed right, I did come to investigate Wang Yuanwai's case." But my two female companions were just ordinary young ladies, and they didn't know about it. I hope you will keep it confidential and don't say it. ”

Shen Qi knew that his identity could no longer be hidden, so it was better to admit it frankly, maybe the people in this village could cooperate more or less.

However, when he thought of the mysterious black-clothed man he met today, Shen Qi felt a chill in his heart.

This...... Does it mean that someone else is starting to get involved in this case?

Even if not, no one can say whether other people or other forces will intervene again in the future, and it is completely uncertain whether they will be friends or foes.

And Jiu'er, as the most experienced person among the four of them, the better and more complete her identity and strength are preserved, the more beneficial it will be for the subsequent investigation.

Therefore, in just an instant, Shen Qi decided to try his best to hide Jiu'er's identity.

Of course, this is also to better protect her. Shen Qi didn't forget his promise to Jiu'er.

"Yes, yes. The fourth aunt wanted to get up, but the pain in her ankle made her give up.

An Zi on the side was very sensible and hurriedly looked at Shen Qi deeply, and said, "My lord, please rest assured, I and the fourth aunt will never reveal your identity." ”

The fourth aunt also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, we will never say it." ”

Shen Qi smiled and said, "You don't need to be like this, just pay attention to it on weekdays." I'm just a boy who came here to play. ”

"We get it. The fourth aunt smiled stiffly.

Anzi next to him also looked a little nervous.

When Shen Qiyi saw it, he also knew that they would be difficult to calm down for a while, so he no longer reluctantly.

"What else did Village Chief Wang say?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.

The fourth aunt thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is nothing else...... It is to instruct us to cooperate with the adult's investigation. ”

Yasuko also nodded busily.

Shen Qi smiled, continued to push the stone mill in his hand, and asked, "Anzi, what is your relationship with the deceased Wang Yuanwai?"

An Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wang Yuanwai is my cousin, but the relationship is relatively far away, and he has already gone out of Wufu. ”

Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "Then you and the village chief's family are the same generation?"

Anzi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, although I am only fourteen years old, I have a high seniority. ”

Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "Are there any descendants outside the king?"

An Zi said: "No, but Sister Wan'er, who often comes to my uncle's house, is his goddaughter." ”

Shen Qi snorted and said, "It's Da Zhuang's wife, right?"

Anzi nodded, but her expression was a little weird.

Shen Qi pondered for a moment, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and Anzi also gathered the rice behind him at the right time.

About half a pillar of incense time passed, Shen Qi asked some trivial questions, and Anzi and the fourth aunt kept answering them.

"My lord, it's almost. ”

The fourth aunt was already able to stand up at this time, she walked to Shen Qi's side and nodded slightly respectfully, a little embarrassed.

Shen Qi stopped, watched Anzi carefully collect the milled rice in the dustpan, and walked to the side of the yard and raised it one by one.

"Anzi is really a sensible child. Shen Qi sighed lightly.

The fourth aunt hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Although Anzi lost his father early, he has always been very sensible and helps the family work." ”

"What's his big name?" Shen Qi asked casually.

"Wang Ping'an. The fourth aunt replied.
