Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Chapter 9 1 Family’s Maid 5

After struggling through all the thorns, he came to the foot of the hillside and looked around. He was a little doubtful that there was something wrong with Li Dahua's memory, and he didn't see any caves?

The hillside is not that kind of slope, but a drop of about two meters high. A stone protrudes from the hillside, just enough to accommodate one person to take shelter from the rain. It is surrounded by weeds and thorns, except for a one-meter-diameter stone underfoot. A place to stay.

Villagers who enter the mountain generally don't come to this kind of place, and the top of this stone is covered with a thick layer of soil due to its long history, and there is a clump of white thatch on it, blocking the view of people entering the mountain. It looks like Even more inconspicuous.

He squatted down and carefully observed the difference in the space under the stone. After a while, he saw fingerprints on the soil. He stretched out his hand and pushed, and a neat crack appeared in the soil. He felt happy and increased the strength of his hand. .

A mud board was pulled down, and from the edge of the mud board, it was discovered that it was a board made of soil and twigs, mainly to cover the 'cave', which was less than half a cubic meter.

There are traces of digging on the walls inside the cave, and I don’t know if it was dug out by Li Dahua.

After taking out everything in the hole, there were two small baskets made of wicker.

After looking through them all, there was a handful of beans in one basket, which looked like less than two taels, and a small clay pot with a capacity of less than one liter, and there was also a fire dumpling.

There was a separate kraft paper bag in another basket. When I opened it, I saw a bag of white fine granular powder mixed with dots of red and yellow powder.

Mei Qianghua was stunned. The origin of these things was dug out from Li Dahua's memory.

This is a pack of rat poison, or arsenic.

When Li Dahua was giving herself a meal on the mountain a few months ago, a hare ran into the thorn bushes on the side. After being stabbed, Li Dahua took a big advantage.

The rabbit couldn't be eaten by himself and he didn't want to take it home to the Li family. Li Dahua thought about it, endured his fear, ran to the town alone with the hare, and sold it to a restaurant. The shopkeeper of the restaurant sighed when he saw Li Dahua looking embarrassed. , bought it for fifty cents.

The rabbit is not big, so giving him fifty cents is definitely too much. If it weren't for the kindness of the restaurant owner, it would be nice to give him twenty cents and someone would take it.

Li Dahua took 50 yuan and calculated how long he could eat after buying a few kilograms of whole grains. On the way back, he passed by the door of a pharmacy and saw a person who had just entered shouting that he wanted to buy rat poison. The rats in the house have been very rampant recently, and he wanted to get a pack. Remove the poison from the rats and send them all to see the Buddha.

I don’t know which words touched Li Dahua, but she walked in like a ghost, stumbling and using the same reasons as the person just now. In the end, thirty coins were exchanged for such a bag of arsenic, and the remaining money I bought Huozhezi and several kilograms of beans, all of which were spent.

In his memory, after Li Dahua bought arsenic, he looked at the kitchen many times and was distracted. Unfortunately, he could never find a chance to cook.

In rural areas, it is easier for cooks to secretly add extra meals to themselves. How could it be Li Dahua's turn to do such a good thing.

Over time, the bag of arsenic bought at a large price was hidden in the cave.

After reading all this in her memory, Mei Qianghua felt depressed in her chest. It turned out that Li Dahua had struggled, and her heart had not always been numb. It was just that she had no chance.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, put everything back into the space, sealed the hole with a clay tablet, and stood up to go back.

My stomach growled, my vision blurred, my legs felt weak, and I almost fell into the thorn bushes. Fortunately, I used the backpack as a support and had a buffer to avoid accidents.

After stabilizing her body, Mei Qianghua patted her little heart that was beating rapidly. Oops, if she falls down, she will immediately declare the mission a failure!

The reason for the failure was that the tasker fell into the thorn bush and died.

He pulled the backpack out from the thorn bushes, put it on his back, and carefully walked out of this place.

Quickly heading back the way we came, it was already past noon, and we knew without even thinking that there was no food to eat.

Her hungry stomach reminded Mei Qianghua of her previous fasting in order to stay in shape, and she wished that all the countless meals she had skipped could be served to her now.

The phrase "so hungry that I can eat a cow" seems to be no longer an adjective. I can really eat a cow now! !

As they neared the village, Mei Qianghua grabbed some dead leaves and put them into a basket on her back. It didn't take up much space, so she had a superficial explanation when she returned.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw that the village was much livelier than usual, especially on the way to Li's house.

He raised his eyebrows secretly in his heart. It seemed that the villagers knew that the livestock raised by the Li family were lost and planned to watch the fun!

He lowered his head, regained his timid appearance, and walked towards the Li family.

There were constant comments from the villagers about the loss of chickens and pigs in the Li family. Although the villagers' eyes glanced at him from time to time, without exception, they were all sympathetic, and no one's suspicions ever crossed their minds.

"Dahua, tell me, did Ms. Liu send the chicken back to her parents' house?" An aunt called Mei Qianghua, her face full of wanting to eat melon.

Mei Qianghua raised her head and glanced at the aunt, and asked with a confused face, "Why did you send the chicken home?" Logically speaking, she didn't know about the missing chicken and pig now.

Seeing Mei Qianghua's confused face, the aunt quickly told Mei Qianghua about the Li family, "After your sister-in-law came back from chatting with Mrs. Zhang, she found that the chickens and pigs in the house were gone. She was cursing my mother right now. Woolen cloth!"

Every time the aunt said another word, Mei Qianghua thought about the things she was afraid of and controlled her face to become pale, although Li Dahua's face was already pale.

There was a cry in his tone, "I, I don't know..." Give yourself 100% for this acting skill!

Seeing Mei Qiang's expression on the verge of tears, her aunt couldn't bear it anymore. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, the Li family would probably take it out on her.

The aunt said with sympathy in her tone, "Go back quickly!" This girl was born into the Li family and had no good deeds in her previous life.

Many villagers gathered in front of Li's house, most of them came to watch the fun.

In the yard, Old Man Li sat on the threshold of the main room with a dark face and said nothing. Li Lao Er and Li Lao San looked anxious, but their wives and children had numb faces. It was just their hands holding their sons. Shaking, revealing their uneasiness, they held their children tightly in their arms, looking as if they were ready to be beaten.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu stood in the yard and cursed the thieves who stole the livestock. Mrs. Liu's son stood at the door of the hall and looked at them, frowning from time to time with an impatient expression.

The villagers originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the curses in Mrs. Li's and Mrs. Liu's mouths were so intense that they couldn't get in, so they simply shut up and waited until they finished scolding. Maybe they could join in at this time. He even got scolded for no reason.

The villagers all suspected that Mrs. Liu secretly sent the chicken back to the Liu family and then put on a show. No matter how many vicious words they said, everyone was still suspicious, because it is not new for daughters from the Liu family to support their parents' family. I know that when Mrs. Li's mother-in-law was still alive, she often took things from the Li family to supplement her mother's family. Mrs. Liu is her niece, so she would not be surprised if she imitates her.
