After the system ran, I took off with my family

"But I heard it from Li Qiuju. She said it herself when she was washing clothes in the river a few days ago. There were other people at the time and they can testify for me." When Zhao Xiumei saw Luo Dahua pointing out her, she became anxious and hurriedly defended herself.

At this time, Mrs. Hu, who had been shrinking her neck, said weakly: "I heard Li Qiuju say it when I passed by the stone bridge."

Li Qiuju was so anxious that she was sweating profusely when she saw them all pointing at her. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Zhao Xiaoyan also pointing at her and shouted, "I heard it from Li Qiuju too!"

Lin Shuyue looked at the panicked Li Qiuju and asked, "Li Qiuju, did you see it with your own eyes? Our Lin family is so far away from the village, where did you hide and see it?"

Li Qiuju shook her head repeatedly and explained hurriedly: "I didn't, I didn't see it with my own eyes."

After saying this, she recalled: "I went to look for Chuncao that day, but there was no one at Chuncao's house, so I planned to go home. When I passed by the abandoned old house of Lao Wang in the village, I heard the voices of two women talking from the other side of the wall.

Out of curiosity, I stood there and listened for a while. One of them said that one day she went to the Lin family with a basket of mushrooms, wanting to learn from Yunniang and sell them to the Lin family. When she was almost at the gate, she saw Master Lin and Yunniang talking very close to each other in the pavilion, and there was no one else around.

"Who are those two women? My servant was right next to me in the pavilion that day, and I just said a few words to Yunniang. She was clearly spreading rumors maliciously!"

Lin An asked coldly, how could someone slander him like this, it was really outrageous!

Li Qiuju was frightened by Lin An's sudden voice and trembled for a moment. She replied weakly, "I was eavesdropping at the time, and when I heard this gossip, I was a little... a little excited. When I stood on tiptoe to take a look, the person was gone, but there were traces of someone stepping on the weeds on the ground..."

"You..." Lin An was a little annoyed, "You can recognize the voice even if you don't see the person, right? There are so many people coming and going in the village, how can you not recognize whose voice it is?"

"This..." Li Qiuju frowned and tried to recall the voices she heard that day. After half a cup of tea, she shook her head and said, "It seems like I heard those two people's voices for the first time. I can't recognize who they are."

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said hesitantly, "I do remember one thing. That day, I stood on tiptoe to look into the wall and saw traces of weeds being trampled. The steps seemed to be relatively large. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that I think about it, how could a normal woman take such large steps?"

"Who is it? Li Qiuju has been married to our village for more than ten years. She should be familiar with the voices of the women in the village. Could it be that the man is not from Lanshan Village?"

"That's not right. Didn't you hear Li Qiuju say that the man was learning from Yunniang to sell mushrooms to the Lin family? He must be from our village."

The villagers were also very curious and whispered to people around them to guess who this person was.

At this time, someone excitedly said: "Hey? Do you think it could be Li Chuncao? Didn't Li Qiuju say that she heard what that person said at the corner after she came out of her house?

Everyone knows that Li Qiuju doesn't like Yunniang. Could it be that Li Chuncao deliberately said this to Li Qiuju so that Li Qiuju could be used as a knife in her hand?"

"You fart!"

Perhaps the man was too excited and forgot to lower his voice. Many people heard what he said, including Li Chuncao himself, who had a sullen face.

"It wasn't me. I didn't say those words. I wasn't at home that day."

Li Qiuju thought about what the man said and was a little skeptical about what Li Chuncao said, "Chuncao, it really wasn't you that day? You didn't deliberately hurt me, did you?"

Li Chuncao was already in a bad mood. When he heard his friend's words of distrust, he was too lazy to defend himself. He raised his hand and swore: "I, Li Chuncao, have never said that, and I am not that person. If I lied, I will be struck by lightning!"

Wang Daniu on the side looked at his wife with a distressed expression.

The ancients attached great importance to swearing. Seeing Li Chuncao swearing with a frank look on her face, Li Qiuju knew that she might have really misunderstood her.

After eliminating Li Qiuju, the villagers racked their brains to analyze each suspicious person.

At this time, a cuckoo landed on Lin Shuyue's shoulder. Seeing this, Zhao Xiuyin, Qinghe and Qingzhi stepped forward calmly and blocked her behind them.

The cuckoo called a few words softly in Lin Shuyue's ear. After a moment, a look of realization appeared on her face, and she whispered thank you to it. The cuckoo rubbed her neck gently with its little head, then flapped its wings and flew away quietly.

Lin Shuyue glanced at the villagers who were still whispering to each other, quietly walked to the village chief Wang Youzhi, and whispered a few words in his ear.

It is unknown what was said, but Wang Youzhi looked very shocked. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly told his son Wang Dequan to take two villagers and follow Qinghe to leave quietly.

About a cup of tea later, Qinghe and Wang Dequan and others hurried back. They looked a little strange, and Wang Dequan was holding a bundle in his hand.

Qinghe walked straight up to Lin Shuyue, nodded to her, and then stepped aside.

Lin Shuyue's sharp eyes swept across the villagers, finally stopping at one of them, and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, I already know who that person is."

The villagers who were still whispering immediately quieted down upon hearing this, and all looked at Lin Shuyue with curiosity in their eyes. No one noticed that one person in the crowd clenched his fists and looked a little uneasy.
