Nongmen Shenjue

After eating, Wen Jixue went back to the inn.

Mu Wu cleaned up the table, washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and Mu Wen swept the floor of the shop, carrying a bucket to fetch water.Although the two brothers are strong, they are still young. Mu Qingyan told them to only fill half a bucket of water each time, with one bucket at each end of the shoulder pole. The combined weight of a bucket of water is not too difficult.

He felt that it would be easier and more convenient to drill a well behind his shop.

"Xiao Wu, how far is Wangfuya from the ferry?"

Mu Wu finished wiping the pot and was washing the rag, and replied without raising his head: "It's a bit far, and it takes two quarters of an hour to go there by boat. Second brother is going to Wangfuya? There are big rocks and a few trees over there. It's nothing." Meaning. Besides, climbing up, the road is also steep, second brother, you still..."

Mu Wu didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was very clear.

He felt that with Mu Qingyan's fragile body, it was very difficult to climb to the top.

Mu Qingyan held back the rebuttal, sighed and went back to the room for an afternoon nap.

Relying on his abilities, he constantly improved his body, and he was much stronger than the original master.But this kind of change is hard work. For example, he no longer gets sick easily, and his physique is also strong, but it is impossible to quickly change from a weak boy to a strong man.

Three days later, Mu Lin came back from Guangmin County.

Mu Lin just came over to say hello, and hurried back to the Yamen to resume his post.

It was not until the afternoon that Mu Lin came to the ferry again.

"I asked the yamen for leave, and I will build the house first."

"How long have you been invited? Is the Yamen easy to talk to?" Mu Qingyan was not surprised.

Mu Wan is a woman, so it is not easy to come forward for many things, such as building a house, there must be a man in charge of the house to greet her.

Mu Qingyan himself wasn't too busy, but he had just accepted Wen Jixue's commission, and he might leave Fenglin County someday.Mu Wen and Mu Wu are still relatively small, and there are some things that cannot be considered.

"Thanks to the second brother. The second brother is also famous in front of the county magistrate, especially this time about the kidnapper. The second brother didn't get any money. He went to Guangmin County and successfully investigated the case. I have saved so many people, not only to solve problems for County Magistrate Zhou, but also for County Magistrate Zhou to be appreciated by the superiors, maybe the court will also reward me. I want to ask for leave here to build a house, and Catcher Cai said nothing. Agreed, just go to sell the vacation when you are busy."

"When will the work start?"

"Tomorrow, everything is ready, and I have agreed with Brother Wang." Mu Lin said, and took out the land deed: "This is the land I bought before, and the transfer is completed."

Mu Qingyan took a look and saw 35 mu written on it.

"Brother, didn't we agree..."

Mu Lin looked guilty: "Your eldest sister is too cunning, and she didn't know how to detect that she was wrong, and she tricked me. She disagrees, and I dare not disobey her." He said hurriedly: "Why are you so anxious? Anyway, she is not married yet, when she is married, you can just give it to her."

Mu Qingyan glanced at him, pointed at his waist unexpectedly and asked, "Where did you buy the purse? The embroidery is quite unique."

Mu Lin pressed his waist to cover a pine flower purse, and then felt that this move was trying to cover up, so he let go with a dry laugh: "This, this is..."

Mu Qingyan pretended to be indifferent: "A gift from the girl's house?"

"...Yes." Mullin nodded.It wasn't something shameful in the first place, it was just a moment of nervousness and a subconscious move.

"Which girl?" Seeing him admitting, Mu Qingyan had a teasing smile on his face.

Mu Lin was a little uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "You also know her, the maid next to Miss Ge's family, Miss Qing'e."

"Qing'e?" Mu Qingyan was a little surprised.

"That's not... It's just that Ge's house was on fire before, and I accidentally saved her, and she thanked me in private." It was a normal contact at the beginning, and Qing'e didn't give him anything. Meaning, it's easy to be confused when you cross the border.But the two did have fate, and they met twice by accident afterwards, and they both had a little bit of interest in each other.

When Mu Lin mentioned Qing'e, he couldn't help but smile all over his face: "Qing'e is a good girl. I didn't think she was worthy of her at first, but she said she would marry me. Miss Ge family treated her well and was willing to let go of her status. , and I am willing to make decisions for her. Such a good girl, I don’t want to wrong her. I planned to build the house before we talk about it.”

Mu Qingyan only met Qing'e a few times, but he had a good impression.

"I have no objection, as long as the eldest brother likes it, the eldest sister must also be happy for the eldest brother." In this way, when the house is completed, it will be double happiness.

The next day, Mu Qingyan led Mu Wenmu Wu back to the village.

Building a new house requires a start-of-work meal. After all, it is a major event for the Mu family. Even if they don't do anything, they want to participate.They didn't wait too long, Mu Wan urged them to come back, and with Aunt Zhao's help, they didn't touch their hands, so they went back to the ferry.

Mu Qingyan didn't go back to the shop, he planned to find out how the silly girl's face was burned.

Not to mention other suspicious points, the silly girl is not normal after all, how did she find the ferry when she was looking for the little girl?How did you get on that boat again?

To say that his ability has always been good, now he is in trouble.

In the final analysis, the ability relies on the plant as the origin, and there is only water on the river, and if there is no support point within the limited range, his ability cannot be displayed at all.After all, the Daqing River is a canal with a wide surface, and Wangfuya, where Shagu's accident occurred, is a steep mountain wall. Therefore, if you hope to go back in time at Wangfuya, the success rate is not high.

Standing by the river at the ferry, day and night alternate, and the galaxy is reversed.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was cold, especially after a snowfall, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness to look around.The Daqing River is not frozen, but there are few people traveling this season, and the coolies at the crossing are all wearing thick cotton jackets and huddled in the lee.

Not sure which day Sha Gu appeared on, Mu Qingyan had to start searching from the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Until the fifth day, Sha Gu appeared at the ferry.

Still looking like a beggar woman, she kept chanting "Yue'er", probably the little girl's name.

Said Sha Gu is crazy, sometimes she is not crazy, and when she found the ferry, she asked the shopkeepers one by one, including the coolies, and even some people who had just disembarked.Maybe she is still a little crazy, at least when it comes to asking, she doesn't know how to choose the right person, but she is lucky, and she actually asked.

This is a boatman on a ferry: "Looking for a little beggar? Is it a seven or eight-year-old girl? She is lucky, and she met a kind person who took her away by boat."

This happened years ago, and the reason why the boatman knew about it was from the guests waiting for the boat.

The one who took the little girl away was a middle-aged man. It is said that he came to do business and was going back home at the end of the year.Just because he was anxious to drive the boat, the carriage almost ran into the little girl.The other party didn't leave anyone alone, he treated the disease, and took care of it to the end. It is said that it was because the old lady at home believed in Buddhism and often asked him to have good thoughts in his heart.Because he was often on the go, he felt that it would be easy to do a good deed for peace of mind, and his family had a lot of money, so it was nothing to add someone to eat, so he decided to take the little girl home.

At that time, the middle-aged man was on a cargo ship heading south. The boatman did not know where he was going.

People praised the man's kindness and lamented the little girl's good life.

Sha Gu wants to chase, even if she doesn't know the exact location at all.

I needed money to take the boat, but the silly girl didn't know where to get the money, so she came again the next day, hired a ferry, gave her more than two taels of silver, and said she was going to the south.Seeing that she had a lot of money and that she was a beggar woman, the boat owner rolled his eyes and agreed.

What happened after the ship left the shore?

Even if the ship owner wanted to steal money, he wouldn't burn his own ship, not to mention that when the silly girl had an accident, the passing ship didn't see anyone else.

Wangfuya, Wangfuya...

Why did something happen at Wangfuya?

He felt that it was still necessary to walk along the path that Sha Gu had walked.

"Brother Mu! Brother Mu, what are you doing?" Chen Shiliu called him from afar.

"When did you come?" Mu Qingyan was not surprised to see him.

"Just arrived, I heard from your third brother that you are here." Chen Shiliu looked around, not understanding what he was looking at just now.

The two returned to the shop.

As soon as Chen Shiliu took his seat, he talked about the commissions he had received with great interest. Although they were all trivial matters, they were really trivial to investigate.What's more, now he is no longer a policeman, and he can't rely on other policemen for help. Everything has to be done by these people in the bureau. It can be said that everything is difficult at the beginning.

Chen Shiliu said something, just to get a certain parity from Mu Qingyan.

"Not bad." Mu Qingyan satisfied him.

Chen Shiliu suddenly felt comfortable all over.

Of course, he came here not only for this.

"Brother Mu, if you want to investigate the matter of the idiot, how much money will you get?" Chen Shiliu didn't know how to negotiate at all, or in other words, he never considered negotiating when facing Mu Qingyan.He directly took out a few silver bills and put them on the table: "I got the silver, 500 taels, is it enough?"

500 taels is a lot of money, even for Chen Shiliu.

The children of such aristocratic families rely on their family status and reputation, but it does not mean that they are rich.Chen Shiliu was an unscheming person, and he never felt the need to worry about money before, so he didn't manage any property at all, and the money he got from his elders in previous years was spent early in the early days when he ran away from home.

Mu Qingyan saw these banknotes and asked, "Where did they come from?"

Chen Shiliu whispered, "It was brought from home."

"At home? Your family will still send you money?" Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, full of doubts.

Chen Shiliu laughed dryly, and confessed honestly: "Of course I kept this from my father."

In fact, because he insisted on not going home, the old grandmother and mother at home were worried, fearing that he would be wronged for lack of money outside, so they sent someone to give him money quietly, and take a look at how he was doing.There are many brothers and sisters in his family, he is from Chen's family line, he is the sixteenth brother of the elder brother, and the sixth among his own brothers, he is the youngest son.

"Wen Jixue has already entrusted me." Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "You take back the money, if you want to follow it when the time comes, just follow, and you will be responsible for what you need."
