Nongmen Shenjue

At first glance, Shagu seems to be not dangerous, except that when she first found her, she tried to escape with light work, and then followed Chen Shiliu to the Shenjue, and she has been honest and honest.But in fact, the reason Shagu is so "honest" is because she is not a lunatic in the usual sense.

Shagu's madness is due to strong stimulation.

Usually, she looks like a normal person, but she has forgotten the past, which is a protection mechanism in the subconscious mind, because the past experience is too painful and exceeds her tolerance limit, so that she "forgets".This kind of forgetting is not really forgetting. When she saw the baby of the full moon, her memory was touched, so she would steal the child.When it comes to braised pork, she will think of her father.Seeing white clothes, she will feel familiar.Even, when Xiaoju talked about Mu Shenduan, who is miraculous in investigating cases, treasures would appear in her mind.

These are all things she suppressed in the depths of her memory, and they will be touched from time to time.

Shagu has been a beggar woman for at least two years, and she has been among a group of beggars. Who doesn't know that she is a young woman?Not necessarily no one hit her idea.But the last beggar who wanted to take advantage of her was directly broken.

Sha Gu is a martial arts practitioner, even if she is insane, she still has an instinctive alertness to danger, so she has been safe and sound for the past two years, and she can still protect the little girl.

So here comes the question, the silly girl found out that the little girl was missing, she would definitely look for it, how did she get hurt?It's okay to talk about skin trauma, but burns seem weird.

Sha Gu's lightness kung fu is very powerful, ordinary people can't trap her at all, and to cause her face to be burned, it is necessary to trap her in a closed space.Whether it was deception or drug use, the most important question was, who would go to such lengths to deal with her?

Could it be the one who took the little girl away?Is that person harboring ulterior motives?

What's more, could it be Sha Gu's acquaintance?Or in other words, an enemy?

There is no evidence yet, everything is just speculation.

Mu Qingyan didn't say these words, even though he felt that it was not comfortable to leave a mystery in the end, but this incident gave him a sense of danger, and the urge to solve the mystery would not make him lose his mind.

Chen Shiliu was not afraid of things, but what he said earlier was not perfunctory. If he wanted to find the treasure, he had to find out where the silly girl's home was.

For Chen Shiliu, this was not easy at all.

Back at the ferry, Chen Shiliu was worried about raising money and didn't have the heart to stay, but Sha Gu refused to leave.

"Look for the treasure! The treasure my father left me, I want to find it!" The silly girl said, staring at Mu Qingyan without asking or crying, her slightly hoarse voice was calm and persistent, especially those eyes, cold Yes, it doesn't look like the eyes of a madman at all.

Mu Qingyan was not afraid, he had seen Shagu in this state at night, half mad and half awake.

"Where is your home?" Mu Qingyan asked tentatively.

The silly girl blinked blankly, and answered the wrong question: "I want to find Brother Qi."

Chen Shiliu sighed: "Since she started talking, she either talked about Daddy and Baozang, or she was looking for Brother Qi. Brother Mu, do you think this 'Brother Qi' is her husband?"

Because Shagu had stolen children one after another before and never hurt them, Chen Shiliu suspected that Shagu was stimulated by the loss of the child, so he originally found an experienced mother-in-law to examine her.But the idiot is still very wary of strangers, close inspection is fine, but it is impossible to take off her clothes, so the mother-in-law can only judge at least half, the idiot is not perfect, it is likely that she has given birth to a child.

It's true, Sha Gu looked at her 21-year-old, and she got married when she was fifteen and Jiji.

Wen Jixue said suddenly: "Let her stay in the inn first, I will let people watch her."

Mu Qingyan naturally had no objection.

Chen Shiliu thought about it and agreed.

Mu Wen Mu Wu's long-awaited Dragon Boat Festival finally arrived.

Mu Qingyan directly closed the shop, locked it in a big lock, and brought the two brothers back to the village.Before leaving, he glanced at the inn. He hadn't seen Wen Jixue for several days. Since the last time he was at the gravel beach, the other party's mood was not very good.He probably guessed the reason, but there are some things he can't do anything about.

Mu Qingyan greeted Zhang Zhong and asked him to help take care of the shop. After all, there was a lot of people coming and going at the ferry. If someone came to pick the lock, he would not be afraid of losing money and property, but he would turn the house into a mess. It takes a lot of work.

They went back the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

I went to the city first, said hello to Mu Lin, and then bought some Wudu cakes.If the outsiders of the Mu family want to survive, they have to hug each other and walk very close. During the Dragon Boat Festival, each family will give each other five poisonous cakes.

There is no need to buy zongzi, each family will buy back the materials and make them by themselves.

Instead, seeing the various sachets in the shop, Mu Qingyan bought five of them.The sachets are filled with cinnabar, realgar, and fragrant medicines. The sachets are made of bright silk or gauze. The exquisite ones can even be embroidered with patterns, and then tied with multicolored silk threads to form ropes. They are hung around the waist. plague.

This season is the time when all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and ants come and go, and realgar is the killer of poisonous insects.

The sachets cost ten coins each, and Mu Wenmu Wu was heartbroken after receiving the sachets.

"Second brother, we don't need it, wearing this is too..." The two looked disgusted, but there was joy in their eyes, but heartache in their hearts.

The half-grown child was very happy to receive the gift, but felt that the price was too expensive. In the end, he felt that the sachet was worn by a woman and a girl, and they were embarrassed to hang it on their bodies.

"The money has already been given. If you don't want to wear it with you, you can take it home. Hanging it on the bed can prevent mosquitoes." Mu Qingyan said, and picked out a turquoise plain one for himself and tied it around his waist.

Living at the ferry, there is water, vegetation, and a restaurant, which really attracts mosquitoes.

There are three kinds of things in the Dragon Boat Festival sachets. The price is not affected by the material of the sachet, but mainly depends on the quality of the small and medium items inside, especially the variety and quality of fragrant medicines.Mu Qingyan didn't study these things, so after listening to the store's introduction, he chose a light one.

It is said that this fragrant medicine can also be taken orally, so he dare not try it casually.

Now there is nothing lacking at home, there are all clothes and fabrics, Mu Wanmu embroiders a set of jewelry from Ge's family, and the food for the festival is also prepared, the three of them went out of the city and returned to the village without further delay.

After all, Mu Lin is holding a public office. There will be tourists everywhere tomorrow, so the yamen must be very busy.Mu Lin greeted Cai Butou, and when the time comes, he will be assigned to Dayan Lake to inspect, so that he can participate in the Qingshan Village dragon boat team competition.

"The second brother is back! The third brother and the fourth brother!" She met Mu Wan as soon as she entered the village, and there were several children of about the same age beside her. Each of them was carrying a bamboo basket or a basket with calamus in it. and wormwood.

This is also the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Wormwood and calamus are hung on the door lintel, which has the same function as a sachet.

"Go, go home." Mu Wu stepped forward to take the small bamboo basket on Mu Xiu's back. The basket was full of mugwort, and it was heavy.

Mu Wan nodded, and said to the little girl beside her, "I can't play with you today. Tomorrow we will go to Dayan Lake together and bring you a pork dumpling made by my elder sister. It is delicious."

"En. My dad is making jujube rice dumplings, and I'll bring you one too." This little girl is two points shorter than Mu Wan, but has a round face. Like Mu Wan, her hair is parted into two small The difference is that Mu Wan wore beautiful little silk flowers, and this little girl tied her hair with a red string.

The two little sisters made an agreement and went home separately.

Instead, Mu Wen mentioned: "Wu Xiaomei's father is going to marry a new wife?"

Mu Wan nodded: "I heard from Xiaomei that we will get married after the Dragon Boat Festival."

"I heard it's from Dayu Village, but I don't know what kind of family it is." Mu Wen curled his lips, purely because he was not happy to mention Dayu Village, and he didn't even like to see the new daughter-in-law of the Wu family who hadn't met.But after all, it has nothing to do with him, that is, he only speaks when he hears it.

Mu Qingyan did not express any opinion.

On the way, I met some villagers, and Mu Wenmu Wu greeted them one by one.

Surprisingly, there are many people around the gate of Mu's house. Although Mu Wan is there, the center of the crowd is not her, but Ma Guihua, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family.Ma Guihua's face was flushed, talking and laughing to a circle of aunts and daughters-in-law, everyone was also laughing and congratulating.

Mu Wan was worrying about how to get away, when she saw Mu Qingyan coming back, she immediately said: "My second brother is back. Aunts and aunts, it's getting late, I should cook. Why don't you go inside and sit down?" Eat at my house at noon, there are plenty of vegetables in the garden."

Everyone knows that this is a polite word, and it is also a tactful way for the host to see off the guests, because no one would have the cheek to eat at other people's homes, especially since everyone is in charge of the cooking at home, and they should go home to prepare meals when the time comes.

Ma Guihua wants to talk too much: "Big sister, I really want to stay and try your handicrafts, but unfortunately the whole family still points at me to eat and drink, but I can't stay. Don't forget about the day after tomorrow. Brother also said that if you don’t come, you won’t give our Lao Niu family face.”

Mu Wan could only cope with it with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I like to treat guests to dinner the most. Don't worry about the number of people going to my house, sister-in-law."

The corners of Ma Guihua's mouth twitched, her smile was a little unnatural: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Then it's done."

Everyone dispersed, and the Mu family entered the main room.

While looking at the things they bought, Mu Wan said angrily: "Guess what the eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family is here to invite our family to dinner. Their old Niu's shop at the ferry will open the day after tomorrow. I am not that kind I can't stop him from doing business at the ferry for a small-bodied person, and the friendship between the two families for many years should be congratulated, but is it worth running to our door to show off?"

Mu Qingyan guessed that this was the case.

Probably to avoid suspicion, the Niu's shop is at the westernmost end of the ferry, while the Mu's shop is at the easternmost end, far away from each other.Mu Qingyan didn't go to see it, but Mu Wu secretly went to have a look. When he came back, he said that the Niu's shop was far worse than theirs. The yellow mud bricks and old wood covered the roof of the straw shed, but it was neatly tidied up.

"Niujia Restaurant", a wooden board hangs vertically in front of the shop, with four neat characters written on it.The Niu family couldn't read, let alone write, and they must have paid someone to write it.

Mu Qingyan took out the sachet and gave it to Mu Wan and Mu Xiu, the pink satin was embroidered with flowers and butterflies.

"Thank you, second brother!" Mu Xiu couldn't put it down.

Mu Wan's eyes lit up, and she liked it in her heart.

"By the way, Wu Xiaomei's father is going to marry, do you know who he is marrying?" Mu Wan looked a little strange.

"I know, isn't it the one in Dayu Village?" Mu Wu answered.

"Then do you know that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family hates her?" Probably Mu Wan also felt that this matter... It was both funny and emotional when it was brought up.
