Nongmen Shenjue

Coming out of the Yu family's mansion, the group looked at each other in blank dismay, somewhat moved.

At first, he was only curious because of the rumors of "ghost mother stealing son", but after investigating, he found out that the Yu family's little aunt had exchanged sons.Now that my aunt's deeds have been exposed, Yu Youcai has asked someone to notify the Liu family to pick up her daughter, otherwise he will be kicked out directly.This is also because the Liu family has been in Dayu Village for many years, otherwise, according to what the little aunt did, a concubine has no status and can be traded.

Yu Youcai's calculations are clear. Anyway, the youngest son is gone, and the little aunt is crazy again. Is raising her for nothing?

After all, the Liu family has done something wrong, and now they don't dare to talk too much when they are asked to lead people, so it can be regarded as an outlet.He was tricked by the Liu family back then, but he didn't forget it.

Mu Lin and the others were going back to the county office.

If it was just about the Yu family's housework, there was no need to alert the Yamen, and the Yu family didn't know the inside story at the beginning. The Yu family thought that the young master had been stolen, so they searched everywhere in panic, and reported to the officials.Later, listening to the little aunt's fuss, and interrogating the nanny again, the feeling is hard to describe.

Chen Shiliu rubbed his head: "Brother Mu, do you think the person who took the child away last night was the legendary 'ghost mother'?"

After all, the Yu family's house is tall and ordinary people cannot enter.

"However, what was said about the ghost mother before, it was the little aunt who lied to set up a trick, but last night... the ghost mother disappeared for two years, is it possible that someone used her name to do evil, and then she appeared to punish her? Well, she took that one away Child, send it back?"

Chen Shiliu felt that the matter of Yu's mansion could come to an end, but he was not satisfied with the investigation this time, because he relied on Mu Qingyan's guidance in the direction of the investigation.Another one, it seems that the case has come to an end, but the "ghost mother" has been running through like a shadow from the very beginning, and finally jumped to the front of the screen at this time, making him feel that only by uncovering the mystery of the ghost mother can he really solve it the case.

Mu Qingyan only said one sentence: "Check the child."

Chen Shiliu suddenly had a bitter face: "In the past few days, my feet have been worn out, but there are so many villages, who knows where to buy the child..." After a pause, He Chuan's whole body cheered up: "That's not right , now that the little aunt's matter has been exposed, we can directly ask the Liu family!"

He Chuan took the initiative and said, "I'll go."

It is indeed more suitable for He Chuan to go.

Although the Liu family is at a disadvantage now, if Chen Shiliu, who is eager, asks, the Liu family is likely to ask for money.He Chuan had been a policeman before, and he was very familiar with tactful words and intimidation. He was not afraid that the Liu family would be dishonest.

Before Mu Lin left, he pulled Mu Qingyan aside and told him: "I think this ghost mother is quite wicked. This time I'm not talking nonsense. She must be a master of kung fu. Second brother, you have to be careful. If you want me to say, our family doesn't If you are short of money, you still have a shop, so you don’t need to investigate such a dangerous case.”

Probably thinking that he would not listen, Mu Lin sighed, glanced at Wen Jixue, and lowered his voice: "Second brother, that person looks big at first glance, it is not appropriate for us ordinary people to get too close .”

Mu Qingyan just nodded: "Brother, don't worry, I know it well."

He could see clearly that when he found that he appeared with Wen Jixue, Mu Lin's whole body was tense, his vigilant and suspicious eyes took turns sizing up Wen Jixue, and he didn't believe that the other party was an innkeeper.In Mu Lin's eyes, Wen Jixue was a dangerous person, and even approached deliberately. If possible, Mu Lin naturally hoped to keep them separated.

After seeing off Mu Lin, Mu Qingyan glanced at Wen Jixue.

Wen Jixue was about ten steps away from him, and there was no special expression on his face, but Mu Qingyan just felt that the other party heard what Mu Lin said just now.People with profound internal skills have keen five senses. He doesn't know how deep Wen Jixue's kung fu is, but at this distance, he can't hide from the other party's ears.

The other party didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything about it.

The three of them leaned against the carriage and waited. Many villagers looked at them curiously, but they didn't dare to approach them.

Yingzi was there with her little nephew in her arms, and so was Yu Taohua.Of course, the two women who were talking to Yu Taohua were obviously her sister-in-laws, and from Yu Taohua's expression, the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law was not very good.

Mu Qingyan didn't deliberately look at it, nor did he deliberately listen to it, but he still heard something from Yu Taohua's sister-in-law's muttering.

Yu Taohua is going to marry an older widower who has two children left by his ex-wife. Because the other party gave him a lot of bride price, Yu Taohua's parents agreed to the marriage.In her sister-in-law's words, she was only to blame for Yu Taohua's lack of luck and ability, for not grasping the Mu family's good marriage, her tone was full of regret and resignation, as if she was the one who enjoyed that marriage.

What about Yu Taohua actually has nothing to do with the Mu family.

Mu Qingyan felt that it was a coincidence that the widower Yu Taohua was going to marry was from Qingshan Village.

It was a matter of drinking and pecking, although the marriage with the Mu family failed, but it was because of this that he got acquainted with the situation in Qingshan Village.The Yu family saw that this was not going to work, so they took a fancy to a widower from the same village.

Mu Qingyan also knew about such a man, he said he was a widower, but he was not very old, before thirty, his wife died of dystocia, leaving behind two girls, the older one seemed to be the same age as Mu Wan.This man is honest and responsible, he is a good farmer, and his family is considered well-off.Although he is a widower and has two daughters, it is not difficult to marry again, but he wants a good woman who can at least manage the family and will not treat his two daughters badly.

Yu Taohua is definitely not willing, but from the perspective of outsiders, they are close friends.

Not long after, He Chuan came back.

"Yes, the child was bought from Xilinpo."

Immediately without delay, the four of them drove directly to Xilinpo by car.

From Dayu Village to Xilinpo, the carriage drove for an hour or two, and it was already noon when we arrived, and every household in the village was cooking lunch.Chen Shiliu didn't eat breakfast, his stomach was growling at the moment, and he smelled the smell of food wafting from every house, his saliva was about to flow out.

Xilinpo is a small and remote village, belonging to a relatively poor village.

"Stop." Mu Qingyan noticed an earth temple standing on the dirt slope at the entrance of the village.

There is only one room in the Earth Temple, which has been around for quite some time. The walls are mottled and the roof is damaged. It seems to be abandoned.But if you look carefully, the open space in front of the temple has been cleaned, and the gate is very clean. Through the open gate, the land god inside is still barely there. The main reason is that there is an incense burner on the altar table, and the faint scent of incense is permeating the air. It is obvious that people often worship it. In front of the censer was a large bowl made of rough porcelain, which was used by farmers for meals. Although it was empty, it seemed more like a tribute was placed and eaten.

On the way here, he used backtracking, and the beggar woman did come to this village.

He felt that this earth temple should be the place where the beggar woman settled down.

I got off the carriage and was about to take a closer look when I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl walking out of the village.

The little girl has a sallow complexion and is very thin. Although her homespun clothes are well washed, there are many mendings, which shows that her family is in a difficult situation.At this time, she was holding a bamboo basket, guarding it very preciously, and only walked towards the earth temple.

"Don't move, just wait and see." He stopped Chen Shiliu who was going to ask.

The little girl entered the earth temple, opened the bamboo basket, and took out a large coarse porcelain bowl from it, which was full of five grains and rice, and it was still hot.He grabbed two handfuls of bright red mulberries, and there were still drops of cleaning water.Finally, she took out another pink lotus flower and carefully placed it on the altar. Besides, she did not offer incense.

After finishing all this, the little girl knelt down in front of the altar and kowtowed three times. She said happily and gratefully: "Thank you, the land lord. My brother is back, and my mother is crying for joy. This bowl of five-grain rice is specially made by my mother. Thank you, the land lord." Find my brother. I found these mulberry fruits from the mountains. I have carefully selected them, and they are all the best. Don’t be disgusted with the Lord of the land. When the family has money in the future, I will definitely prepare offerings for the Lord of the Land. "

The little girl chattered some homely things again, then put away the empty bowl and left with the basket on her arm.

Because they were far away, Chen and Liu only saw the little girl enter the Earth Temple, but they didn't know what happened.

Mu Qingyan told him: "The ghost mother should be in this earth temple."

"Then we..." Chen Shiliu was shocked.

Mu Qingyan looked at Wen Jixue: "I have to trouble you."

"Don't worry." Wen Jixue knew what he meant.

The four of them went up the earth slope and walked into the earth temple, just in time to see a black shadow flashing past the altar, half of the five-grain rice brought by the little girl was left unfinished.Before Chen Shiliu and He Chuan could cry out in surprise, Wen Jixue beside him moved, so fast that even the afterimage was hard to detect. He grabbed a beggar woman with disheveled hair almost within a breath.

The beggar woman shrank back to the corner without saying a word or moving.

Just now she tried to run, but she couldn't run, nor could she hit.No matter how stupid he is, he instinctively knows to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"This, this beggar woman is the ghost mother?" Chen Shiliu and He Chuan were shocked. If they hadn't just witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that such a sloppy beggar woman could be so powerful.

Of course, Wen Jixue's speed was even more palpitating, because the speed was so fast, it seemed that Wen Jixue hadn't left at all.

Mu Qingyan pointed at the altar and said, "Maybe she has been staying here all the time. Maybe she helped the villagers fulfill their wishes, making people mistakenly believe that the land was manifested, and then she was enshrined. The little girl came to deliver offerings just now, maybe it was The child's family, perhaps this also explains why the 'ghost mother' went to the Yu family's mansion to take the child away."

"It's really, really unbelievable." He Chuan still felt a little unreal at the moment.

After Chen Shiliu was surprised, he had more questions: "If she is the ghost mother, then why did she take those children away two years ago? Why did she return the children? Why did she stop after that? How can you become a beggar with lightness kung fu..."

"If you want the answer, look it up yourself." Mu Qingyan felt that Chen Shiliu was indeed suitable for this job.

It stands to reason that after this step, Wen Jixue's commission can be said to have been completed for the most part, and the rest of the tail may be to ask the ghost mother's motive for taking the child away in the first place.However, considering that the ghost mother might be mentally abnormal, Mu Qingyan didn't hold out any hope.

"Flying light." Wen Jixue stared at the beggar woman and said suddenly.

Mu Qingyan didn't quite understand, but Chen Shiliu and He Chuan reacted quickly.

"The lightness kung fu is superficial? Isn't this kung fu lost?"
