Detective Case of Black Belly

"It's okay, this is still a clue, and it's not nothing." Fu Qing carefully wiped the sweat off Wu Yuyan's face with his sleeve.

"A big event has happened to me." Fu Qingkai put on an amazing expression.

Wu Yuyan didn't understand the situation for a while, so he was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

"Someone has blown the cowhide apart." Fu Qing pouted at the red bean soup on the table.

Wu Yuyan couldn't help laughing, "Yes, if I didn't pay attention, I overblown it. Save it for tomorrow, I'm really tired today."

As soon as Wu Yuyan said that he was tired, Fu Qing's heart ached immediately, and he didn't say anything more, he packed up and went to sleep.

This spring day has really come, and the singing of birds in front of and behind the house has never stopped.Fu Qingkai specifically instructed that no one should be chased away, and that he would let people dry the leftover rice noodles, put them in many dried grapefruit peels, and place them in the courtyard.

At first, everyone just followed suit blindly, and when they cleaned the bird droppings in the yard, they were a little bit critical.Later, the birds gradually became familiar with these people, and when they cleaned, they would also land on their shoulders.When they were sitting on the porch basking in the sun, they dared to jump up and down on their insteps and knees for a while.

First the dusty, silly sparrows, and then some unnamed birds of the most beautiful plumage.The little maids and old aunts have gradually tasted some leisure and elegance, and they can clean up the courtyard without Fu Qing's orders, and then put a few grapefruit shells filled with bird food.

Fu Qingkai didn't stay in bed for the past few days, but he still woke up not as early as Wu Yuyan.When he stretched out and went out, Wu Yuyan had already been sitting on the porch for a long time, how did he know that Wu Yuyan had been sitting for a long time?Let's look at Wu Yuyan's lap and shoulders with a few small birds.

As soon as Fu Qing approached, the birds with goose-yellow feathers flapped their wings and flew away immediately.

"Am I so unkind?" Fu Qingkai said resentfully.

"Birds are timid, and a single shadow can scare them out of their wits. When I was a child, I saw someone throw a firecracker on a tree. After a sound, two birds fell down, and the sound of the firecracker scared them to death." Wu Yuyan said to the people in the courtyard. Sunshine stretched out his hand, Sunshine lay on his palm, the bird that flew away suddenly, another bird that was bolder flew back and landed on his palm.

Fu Qing stared at it with greedy eyes, and followed Wu Yuyan's example and stretched out his hand towards the courtyard.He raised his hands empty for a long time, imitating the bird's "chirp chirp" in his mouth.It's a pity that the birds just nodded their heads in his direction, while pacing up and down in the courtyard on their own.

Fu Qingkai hummed dissatisfiedly at the side, and Wu Yuyan suddenly said a word, "Stupid!" For a while, Fu Qingkai didn't know whether he was talking to the bird in his palm or talking about himself. fool.

I saw Wu Yuyan gently kicked a bamboo bucket towards Fu Qingkai with his toes, Fu Qingkai squatted down and took a look, it turned out to be yellow millet inside!

Looking at Wu Yuyan's palm again, there is a handful of millet in it!

"Okay, you, feed the birds with this fine millet, and see if the aunt knows and won't scold you!" Fu Qing twisted Wu Yuyan's ear pretentiously.

Wu Yuyan neither fought back nor retaliated, "I just caught such a handful. I have eaten a lot of millet porridge in the past few days, and the aunt who is missing this handful and a half can't find it."

Fu Qing looked at his presence, supported his knees, and sat down directly on the steps in the yard.

"It's cool on the ground." Wu Yuyan said as expected.

"It's not cold, it's hot from the sun!" Fu Qing took the bamboo tube, pinched a little with her thumb and forefinger, and sprinkled it to the birds. The birds jumped at first, and then found that it was delicious. Xiaomi was hooked all the way to Fu Qingkai's side.

Finally, in order to eat the millet in Fu Qing's open palm, a bird jumped onto his palm, scratching restlessly with its small, pointed claws.

Fu Qingkai turned her head cautiously, and smiled triumphantly at Wu Yuyan, like a cat who has successfully stolen.

"I originally planned to find out what was hidden in Shen Tangsheng's warehouse in the next time, but yesterday my mother told me to come out and accompany her to Cang'an Temple for a few days, eat some vegetarian food, and said yes I dreamed that I hurt my arm and I didn't know where it was, and when I woke up I didn't sleep all night, my heart was beating so hard." When Wu Yuyan talked about his mother, his heart and eyes were filled with worry.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Tell Wang Yong to look into Shen Tangsheng's matter first, and everything is still as important as your mother's matter? But have you seen the doctor?" Fu Qing asked many questions in a hurry.

"The doctor only said that she was tired and thoughtful. My mother has always been in good health. She has set up a stove in the medicinal food workshop on West Street all year round. Every now and then, there will be medicinal food suitable for the solar terms at this time, and their staff will send it over." Wu Yuyan didn't say anything. In order to tease the bird, he raised his hand, and the bird flew away. Wu Yuyan threw the little millet left in his hand into the courtyard, and the courtyard was full of joy.

"That's right, your mother's energy is really good. Doesn't your father still have some kung fu skills? Compared with him, he is not far behind." Fu Qingkai also drove the bird away, dusted his hands, "Let's go to the street Go shopping, I'll go see your parents."

"Look what our parents want, just go and see, besides, you always go there two or three times a month, and you still bring things with you every time, so it's so unreasonable, my mother told me Several times!" Wu Yuyan said.

Fu Qingkai had his own words, "But her old man still gives me things every now and then! If you have a share, I will have a share. As for the blanket last time, it's yours and mine!"

"Uncle Fu is getting old, and my mother is very fond of his family's cotton and his cotton-plucking skills. It was hard to persuade him to start a job that time, but it was enough!" Wu Yuyan immediately stood up after finishing speaking. He raised his finger and pressed Fu Qing's open lips, blocking Fu Qing's words. "Listen to me, my mother will be happier if you don't bring anything."

Fu Qingkai could only nod his head, and went away empty-handed, feeling a little apprehensive after all.But Wu Yuyan really hit the mark.

Seeing that he came empty-handed, Mother Wu smiled from ear to ear, took his hand, and kept saying, "Good boy, good boy, that's how it should be. We are all one family, so please don't give birth to me." separated."

Fu Qingkai glanced at Wu Yuyan furtively, and saw that he had an expression of 'listen to me for sure'.

At this time, Mother Wu said, "In the future, you can also go to Cang'an Temple with me to eat some vegetarian dishes. I ask the Buddha to bless you three, safe and happy."

Fu Qingkai looked at Mother Wu's earnest eyes, how could he say the words of rejection?There will be a mighty group of people going to Cang'an Temple in the future, and because Huang Xiliu also knew about this, he specially transferred the shift and moved out for a few days to be free.Said that it had been a long time since I came to say goodbye, please feel at ease, Fu Qing only laughed that he was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.

"Fortunately, the yamen has recruited some new people after the new year, otherwise, there would be no room for this class!" Wang Yong looked at the schedule that day and said, Huang Xiliu is a good brother again, and the chaos of a good brother After calling out, Wang Yong's goosebumps fell all over the ground, and he was taken to the martial arts field to teach him a lesson.

Fu Qingkai was unceremonious in front of Wu Qiaomei, talking about Huang Xiliu's bad luck, making Qiaomei giggle.Huang Xiliu was not annoyed at all, and was also smiling beside him.But Qiaomei smiled because of Fu Qing's words, but he smiled because of Wu Qiaomei's smile.

Fu Qing drove them to stop and go all the way, talking and making trouble.On the contrary, the old couple had been walking slowly, and now they walked more than ten steps ahead of them.

Hearing the laughter of the young man behind them, the old couple couldn't help showing their faces.

"I'll help my parents." Wu Qiaomei's skirt flew away.

"I'll go too, I'll go too." Huang Xiliu hurriedly placed his left and right hands on Wu Yuyan and Fu Qing, and blinked.

Wu Yuyan and Fu Qingkai had no choice but to "adult beauty", one of them supported Wu's mother and the other supported Wu's father, and they became a family.

"This boy." Wu Yuyan followed behind, shaking his head, rather unwillingly.

"Still reluctant?" Fu Qing bumped Wu Yuyan with his arm.

"It's not that I can't bear it," Wu Yuyan said thoughtfully, "If I ask my younger sister to start a family, I have to give her a house, but Xi Liu, although he looks dishonest, if he asks Yue's family to give him a house, he will I'm afraid he won't. I don't want Qiaomei to live with his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew." Wu Yuyan looked worried.

"Maybe, maybe Xiliu will agree." Fu Qing said.

Wu Yuyan's thoughts were suddenly taken back by his words, "How do you know?"

"You don't want your sister to suffer, are you willing to be a little girl? When I recruited new arresters before, didn't I say in the yamen that the arresters are not allowed to do some private work outside? My original intention was to prevent the arresters from relying on With this little right in my own hands, I forced others to give him convenience. Later, Xiliu came to me secretly and said that he had some small business in his hand, and he opened a small teahouse in partnership with a friend. Pay some money and put him as a police officer, it will be easier to suppress the situation. When I have free time, I will go to the back of the teahouse to do some rough work."

"Is that the Liuqing Teahouse?" Wu Yuyan asked.

"Exactly."

"Where does he have money?"

"I was also surprised. Later, Xiliu told me that he could save half of the monthly money a month, and after a year, he could save more than a dozen taels. In addition, when his parents passed away, they gave him the house and land. Brother, I also left the money for him, and he invested it all in the teahouse. Now things are getting better, and some money will be distributed at the end of this year. I asked him if he was saving to marry a wife, and he felt a little embarrassed. Said, 'At least the life can't be worse than that of her natal family.'”

Wu Yuyan finally relaxed after hearing what Fu Qing said. "I know the shopkeeper of Liuqing Teahouse, and his character is not bad. There should be no mistakes in Xiliu's transaction."
