Nongmen Shenjue

As soon as the name Roach appeared, everyone had a guess.

Chen Shiliu was even more excited: "That's right! It must be right! There must be something wrong with the Luo family!"

The richness of the Luo family, the injured Bai Sanye in Pingshui County, Luo Qi...all the clues together undoubtedly indicate that it is related to Sha Gu, and even anyone can use this to tell a story of betrayal and plunder. big drama.

It took another two days to go from Yiyang Mansion to Hede County.

Taoyuan Town is a town under Hede County, not to mention Fenglin, even Guangmin County.The county is small, the population is small, and the geographical location is not good.Passing through two or three villages, most of them are old wooden houses covered with thatched roofs. The area is mountainous, so it is easy to obtain wood. Most of the foundations are built with stones, which are strong and moisture-proof.

The coachman said: "The people in this area are relatively poor. There are many mountains and little land, and the land is thin. One year's income can feed the family and there is nothing left. No one is willing to be the magistrate of Hede County. Oil and water. It is said that the current parents and officials offended someone in the court and were demoted here."

It was evening now, and it was time to rest after entering the city.

Mu Qingyan suddenly asked: "How long will it take from Hede County to Taoyuan Village? How is the road condition?"

The coachman said: "It takes half an hour for the carriage to go there. It hasn't rained these days, and the road is quite easy to walk. That road has been repaired, and it was repaired by the Luo family's donation."

"Which direction is Taoyuan Town? Which way to go?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

"Here, that's the fork in the road." The coachman raised his hand and pointed not far away.

There is a three-way intersection one mile ahead, the one in the middle is going to the county town, and the one on the left is going to Taoyuan Village.Naturally, Taoyuan Town could not be seen in this place, only a relatively flat khaki road lay across the fields, stretching to the depths of the vast mountains.

"Don't go to the city." Mu Qingyan quickly made a decision, and said to Wen Jixue and Chen Shiliu: "It takes too much time on the road, I want to reach Taoyuan Town as soon as possible, one day earlier, maybe I can get more Get a clue."

Solving a case sometimes pays attention to seize the opportunity, and there is also a saying of luck.

No matter what, the sooner you can, the sooner you can.

"Yes." Wen Jixue nodded.

Chen Shiliu was no less eager than Mu Qingyan, so he naturally agreed with both hands.

Sha Gu suddenly shouted: "Master, I want to eat! I'm hungry."

It is impossible for Sha Gu to sleep all the time along the way, and she is not always so peaceful. Even Sha Gu doesn't like the small space in the carriage.In order to appease the silly girl, Chen Shiliu made great efforts.Perhaps it was because she remembered that Chen Shiliu had given her a lot of delicious food. The silly girl still obeyed Chen Shiliu's words, and with all kinds of coaxing, she managed to get to the present.

"Are there any pastries?" Mu Qingyan asked.

Chen Shiliu took out a bag of dry food from his side and turned it upside down, leaving only a handful of powder residue.

"They were all eaten by the idiot."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but "hehe".

It's really boring to ride in the car, especially after sitting for such a long time, I'm tired of looking at the scenery.Sha Gu couldn't sit still, and similarly, Chen Shiliu wasn't too strong.They didn't rush too much along the way, and they usually stopped for three meals, but they also prepared a lot of pastries, most of which went into the mouth of the silly girl, and the rest were eaten by Chen Shiliu.He was disgusted while eating, and no matter how disgusted it was, it didn't affect him to continue eating.

"There is a farmhouse ahead." Wen Jixue's eyesight was extremely strong, and she saw houses on the edge of the field in the distance.

Mu Qingyan understood: "Go to the farmer's house to buy two pancakes, and we'll make do with it for a while, and have a good meal when we arrive in Taoyuan Town."

As long as the silly girl has something to eat, she doesn't care whether the food is good or bad, Chen Shiliu coaxed a few more words, and then she became quiet.

When we got to the house in sight, it turned out to be a tea stand built on the side of the road.Over the years, more and more people came to Taoyuan Town. Seeing business opportunities, nearby villagers built a thatched hut on the edge of their fields and provided some tea, steamed buns and so on.

After buying a few cold steamed buns, Sha Gu ate them all alone.

It was getting dark, and finally saw the entrance of the town.

The carriage was about to pass through the gourd mouth when suddenly a horseshoe galloped head-on.The night is not so dark that you can't see your fingers. With the light of the sky, you can see three horses running towards you.

They saw each other, and the other party naturally saw them too, but they didn't intend to stop or slow down at all. Instead, they shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The coachman hurriedly evaded in panic, but the pulling horse was still a little startled. There was a sound of horse neighing, the car body tilted, and the left wheel sank into the ditch beside the road.Gao Tian hid quickly, and the few people in the car were miserable. The space was too small, and there was nowhere to hide.

Chen Shiliu and Sha Gu yelled, and because the car was tilted, they collided with each other.

At the critical moment, Wen Jixue grabbed Mu Qingyan, raised her palm to pat the speeding curtain, and flashed out nimbly.

But at this time, the culprit who caused all this has already gone away.They could hear the other party's laughter from a distance, it seemed that they almost overturned a carriage, which seemed to them quite interesting.

"Brother Gao, do me a favor." These days the coachman chatted with Gao Tian a lot, and he knew that he was Wen Jixue's follower, and he was quite skilled.At this time, seeing that the carriage had sunk, he was very anxious, so he could only ask Gao Tian for help.

Class consciousness rooted out his heart, so the coachman naturally didn't dare to tell Mu Qingyan and the others.

Waiting for Chen Shiliu and Sha Gu to get out, Gao Tian went to help carry the car.

"Are you injured?" Mu Qingyan asked Chen Shiliu.

Chen Shiliu rubbed his head: "Fortunately, the back of the head just knocked. Who are those people? They are so arrogant?"

Chen Shiliu didn't say anything, but his stomach was full of anger.He can be regarded as a child of a family, and he has been doted on since he was a child, but even so, he dare not do such things as galloping horses and hurting others.Sure enough, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and there were many troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers!

Chen Shiliu discussed this place fiercely in his heart.

The coachman sighed, and said: "It may be from the Luo family. I heard that after the Luo family became rich, many offshoots came to attach themselves. The master of the Luo family took good care of the younger generations of the same clan. In the countryside. Another thing, the Luo family raises a lot of healthy horses. A horse is so expensive, and it costs a lot of money to raise it in a year, so the Luo family can afford it. The Luo family children love to ride horses when they go to the county or prefecture. "

This is like the reason why the rich second generation liked luxury cars in the previous life.

After a quarter of an hour's delay, I finally arrived in the town smoothly.

After paying the fare, they separated from the driver.

"Taoyuan Inn! Looks good, let's stay here." Chen Shiliu's bones ached all over his body. It wasn't from the fall before, but the sequelae of sitting in a carriage for a long time.Tired and finally at the place, all he wanted was a good night's sleep.

But at this time, Sha Gu started to make a fuss.

Sha Gu just looked around in a daze at first, and then her eyes widened, full of panic. If Gao Tian hadn't reacted and caught her quickly, she might not know where she ran to at this moment.

"Don't go! Don't go!" Sha Gu yelled and kicked, as if they were going to force her to go to the cremation pit.

Wen Jixue clapped her palms together and said with a smile: "That's right, this is the home of the silly girl."

Then, he gave Gao Tian a hint.

Gao Tian raised his palm and hit Sha Gu on the back of the neck, causing Sha Gu to faint immediately.

Wen Jixue said: "Let her be quiet, it's too noticeable, anyway, she has eaten and won't be hungry."

At present, several people went to the inn, had dinner, and rested separately.

Early the next morning, before Mu Qingyan woke up, he heard Chen Shiliu hurriedly knocking on the door: "Brother Mu, brother Mu, wake up, the idiot is gone!"

Waiting for Mu Qingyan to open the door, Wen Jixue also came over.

"What's going on?" Mu Qingyan asked.

Wen Jixue looked calm: "Don't worry, Gao Tian is going after her."

It turned out that in the early hours of the morning, Sha Gu suddenly ran out from the window of the room, relying on her outstanding lightness skills, she flew far away in an instant.Fortunately, in order to prevent the silly girl from having an accident, Gao Tian lived next door, and the sound of the windows caught his attention, so Gao Tian immediately chased after her.

The three of them had breakfast step by step, and were about to inquire about the Luo family when Gao Tian came back.

"Where's the silly girl?" Seeing him alone, Chen Shiliu couldn't help being anxious.

Gao Tian hurriedly said: "Silly girl is fine, it's just...you can go and see and you will know."

Several people looked at each other, feeling strange.

Under the leadership of Gao Tian, ​​they came to the edge of the town. There were several houses built by the stream. There were flowers and plants potted in the yard, which were arranged in a patchwork order, attracting bees and butterflies to fly, which was very interesting.At this time, there was a man in a white shirt in the yard, carrying a wooden bucket to water the flowers and plants, and the foolish girl stood aside, patted the butterflies for a while, pinched the flowers for a while, being naughty like a child, the man was not annoyed, He only looked at her with a gentle smile.

The arrival of several people startled the two of them.

The man looked at them with a little wariness.

Fortunately, Sha Gu didn't forget them, and happily greeted Chen Shiliu: "Master!"

The man looked at the silly girl in surprise, thought for a while, and smiled at the few people: "If you don't mind, come in and sit down."

Tables and chairs were set up in the courtyard, several people sat down, and the man served tea.

Mu Qingyan was looking at this person carefully, dressed in a half-worn white shirt, gentle and refined, with a bookish air, like a scholar.If you look at the house, the half-open window reveals a neat row of bookshelves in the house, filled with books of various colors.

Chen Shiliu couldn't help asking first, "Are you a native of Taoyuan Town?"

The man nodded with a smile: "I see some face-to-face students, is it from Taoyuan Town just now? What's your relationship with Hua'er?"

Hua'er?

Mu Qingyan remembered that Sha Gu also said this name when she was chasing the cargo ship in the world.

"Hua'er? Is it the name of the idiot?" Chen Shiliu looked at the idiot, but unfortunately the idiot didn't respond to this.

Seeing this, the man just nodded, but said no more.

The silly girl had already picked up a handful of flowers, and suddenly turned her head and shouted at the man, "Brother Qi, I'm hungry."

As soon as they shouted, Mu Qingyan and the others all changed expression.
