Nongmen Shenjue

When we return to Fenglin County, even though we have to stay for a few days, we still have to report to the Mu family that they are safe.At the beginning, the main purpose of going out was to go to Guanglin to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Unexpectedly, something happened, and I went to the capital temporarily, and the delay was one or two months.According to Mu Lin Mu Wan's temper, she must inquire.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the ferry, Mu Wen saw it sharp-eyed, and ran over and said, "Second brother, you are back. You ran to the capital and didn't tell your family. You didn't come back for so long. Big brother said anxiously." Chang Pao, I was almost looking for you."

Mu Wu also came over: "Brother, I come here every day. I just came here in the morning, and it happens to be Muxiu today."

Before Mu Qingyan could speak, Mu Wen said again: "By the way, sister-in-law is pregnant, and she has just turned three months."

Mu Wu continued: "A man from out of town asked Second Brother to investigate the case. He came here half a month ago. When he first arrived, he cried very sadly. Knowing that Second Brother was not at home, he didn't leave, so he stayed at Qinghe Inn. "

Before Mu Qingyan even got out of the carriage, he heard the two brothers chattering.

"Okay, I know everything. I'll go back to the village later." It was already evening, but knowing why Mu Lin was anxious, he didn't intend to delay any longer.

Wen Jixue frowned: "Leave without eating?"

"No, save my elder brother from worrying."

Wen Jixue didn't try to persuade him anymore, but felt that Mu Lin was a little too nervous this time, and it wasn't the first time Mu Qingyan had traveled far.But this weirdness flashed by, and I didn't think much about it.

Mu Qingyan didn't go to see the people who lived in the inn, so he sent Gao Dong a message to see you tomorrow.

It was getting late, and Mu Qingyan didn't take a sip of tea, so Gao Chun drove back to Qingshan Village.Spring is the busy season of farming, and every family is plowing the land for farming. There are still people in the field at the moment, and the village is full of smoke. The door of Mu's house is ajar, and the vague voices are suppressed by the barking of dogs.

"Second brother is back!" Hearing the sound of the wheels of the carriage, Mu Lin came out to take a look, and hurriedly opened the door and moved the threshold.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard, and Mu Qingyan got out of the carriage, and saw a kennel was set up next to the gate, with a black dog tied to it. Although it was not very big, it was very energetic, staring at him vigilantly and baring its teeth.

"Your sister-in-law and Xiaowan are the only ones at home. It's safer to have a dog. I asked someone to carry it. I've been raising it for almost two months. Just when you went out, it saw that you were born very well, so it's good to be familiar with it." Mu Lin After waving their hands, the two entered the main room.

A pair of sisters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen, seeing that Mu Qingyan had returned, they had to add more dishes.Even though Li Qing'e is pregnant, she also helps in the kitchen. Cooking and washing clothes are not heavy work in the eyes of the farmers, but she is a pregnant woman after all, so Mu Wan doesn't let her wash clothes in cold water.

When Mu Lin arrived at the house, he finally couldn't help it: "Second brother, have you gone to the capital?"

"En." Mu Qingyan nodded.

Mu Lin opened his mouth, and the words in his belly turned into one sentence: "You don't tell me when you go to the capital. The capital is full of dignitaries, and you may offend someone. Why go there?"

"The dignitaries offended by the Mu family are in the capital?" Mu Qingyan asked.

Mu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was the rhetoric he had given to the outside world, and nodded: "Don't ask who it is, it's not something we can resist. Now that life is stable, we won't mention the past. Don’t go to that place in the future.”

"I already know." Mu Qingyan didn't have any idea about pursuing the Mu family's past, but it's not like if you don't go to the capital, you won't go, and what will happen in the future is uncertain.

At this time, Mu Wan stood outside the kitchen door and shouted: "Brother, set the table and eat."

Mu Lin moved the square table to the middle, and Mu Qingyan moved the stool.

Mu Wan came in with vegetables. It was a season of green and yellow, and there were very few vegetables. There was a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, a plate of fried tofu, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, and another plate of steamed pickled fish and shredded pork with sauerkraut.Garlic sprouts and leeks are grown by the family in clay pots filled with soil. They are carefully tended, and they grow faster than seeds scattered in the vegetable garden.

"Second brother, you have been away for so long, and you missed your birthday. You are sixteen this year, and I planned to have a good time for you, but you are not at home." Mu Wan served him a bowl of noodles, lying on the top. A poached egg.

"Just after next year." Mu Qingyan himself forgot that it was the original owner's birthday after all.

In my memory, the original owner had his birthday on the second day of February every year, and no matter how difficult the days were, he still had a boiled egg to eat.The second day of February is a good day, commonly known as the dragon raising its head, also known as Qinglong Festival, but the Mu family said to the public that Mu Qingyan's birthday was the third day of March, and it was registered on the household registration as the third day of March.

No one else thought about it. The birthday can be brought forward but not postponed. What's more, one day earlier is the dragon's head. They all think that the Mu family is giving the child more blessings.

Now let Mu Qingyan say that the real birthday of the original owner must be on February [-]nd.

Mu Wan laughed at him: "This year is the same as next year, but you have grown up this year."

Mu Lin also took over the words: "Yes, second brother, you can now open a separate account. I will help you set up an independent account some other day, and it will be convenient for you to do things in the future."

Mu Qingyan nodded: "Okay."

After dinner, Mu Lin asked him about his trip to the capital again.Mu Qingyan didn't hide anything, and said everything carefully.As Mu Lin listened, his expression changed frequently. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead, only to find that he was sweating.

Mu Qingyan pretended he didn't see it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, Chen Shiliu is familiar with the capital, and we won't cause trouble."

Mu Lin smiled a little reluctantly: "People sit at home, and disasters come from the sky. There is no way to say what is going on in the world. Second brother, don't think I am wordy, there are enemies in our family in the capital, even if the other party may not recognize them out of you, but be careful, it’s not a big mistake, it’s better not to go.”

"What enmity?" In the past, he would not be curious, nor would he take the initiative to explore, but now that the topic is too fast, he thinks he should ask.

Mu Lin smiled dryly, with a complicated look on his face: "Don't ask, it's all over."

Maybe Mullin is the only one who knows the old things now, but he has either been ordered or has little self-sufficiency, in short, he is unwilling to let the second person know.Even if the hatred in the past cannot be forgotten, they still try to learn to forget it. After all, the family will continue to live.There are many helpless things in the world.

Mu Qingyan didn't ask any more questions.

After breakfast the next day, Mu Qingyan was going back to the ferry, and before leaving, he told Mu Lin that he would go out for a few days to investigate the case.

Mu Lin was surprised: "I just came back and left again? Is it going to Fengzhou?"

"No." Mu Qingyan asked back: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Mu Lin wondered, "Isn't Master Qiu from Fengzhou?"

Mu Qingyan reacted quickly: "Master Qiu mentioned by the eldest brother is the one who lives in the Qinghe Inn?"

"Second brother still doesn't know about him?" Mu Lin sighed: "Speaking of which, Master Qiu is really pitiful, he is a great good man in Fengzhou, even in our Fenglin side, many people have heard of him. He has two daughters but no son. Although his family is rich, he didn't want his son to take concubines or anything. He only said that he was destined to be childless, and having two daughters would be enough to comfort him for the rest of his life. The daughter was a few years younger, and they had already agreed on a marriage. Unexpectedly, a thief broke into the house one night, not only killing the younger daughter, but also cutting off her head.

This was three years ago.The youngest daughter died, Master Qiu was already in pain, but the youngest daughter's head could not be found, and there was no whole body.In the past few years, the murderer has not been found, nor has the head been found. Mr. Qiu offered a reward of one thousand silver to find his daughter's head, but there was no result. "

"1000 taels of silver?!" This is really a big deal. Thinking back to when the reward was offered, many people were tempted.

Mu Lin also said: "This is a big event, and it is because of this that it has been widely spread. At the beginning, many people said that they had dug their heads and wanted to get the one thousand silver coins. But Master Qiu is not stupid. In the end, none of them were his youngest daughters. I heard that at the time of the final burial, Mr. Qiu invited the best carpenter to carve a head in the shape of his daughter with wood, and carefully drew the facial features with a brush. The good rouge and gouache were put on makeup, and the real hair was collected and coiled on the head, and put in the coffin together with the corpse. Even so, Master Qiu was heartbroken when he couldn't find the little daughter's head. Now I heard that Your deeds gave birth to hope again, so I came to you."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh.

Toyosu...

The scout Huang Li's hometown is a certain Huangjia Village under the rule of Fengzhou, so it is on the way.

Back at the ferry, there was a young man standing at the door of the inn, looking around, seeing him, he immediately ran into the inn: "Master, master, Mr. Mu is back!"

Before Mu Qingyan could go in, a rich old man rushed out to greet him, probably it was old man Qiu.Master Qiu looked about forty years old, with a broad body and a fat body, with a hat on his head, and black hair mixed with a lot of silver.

"Mr. Mu? You are looking forward to come back! Mr. Mu, my daughter died unjustly. She didn't leave a whole body when she died. I'm sorry for her. Mr. Mu, you must help me, I My daughter is so pitiful." Master Qiu grabbed his hand as soon as they met, and wept while talking, even after three years, the sadness never faded away, and all the crying onlookers felt sour.

"Master Qiu, my condolences. Let's go in and talk." Facing such a grieving old father, Mu Qingyan's tone softened a bit.

Master Qiu's name was Qiu Hai, and the reason why he cried as soon as they met was also because he had great expectations for Mu Qingyan, and after waiting for half a month, he finally saw him, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally broken.

In the past three years, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and he never gave up looking for the murderer.At first it was hatred, wanting the murderer to take his life, and later it was grief, hoping to get back her daughter's head.He has sought out many people, including famous arresters from all over the place, and he has hired them all, and paid them a lot of money, but unfortunately... If it wasn't for the fact that the arresting officer couldn't get on the line, he was willing to spend his entire family to invite them, and for this he even offended his eldest daughter. Displeased with son-in-law.

But he was not reconciled, the youngest daughter was only 15 years old when she died, like a flower bone, it disappeared all at once.

Mu Qingyan already knew the general situation, but he just had some doubts: "Master Qiu, may I ask, does Ling Ai have any enemies?"
