Since he wanted to make pickles, Du Wenxiu carefully went through the pickles he had made when he was a child, which ones were here, and what season was it, and after he had an idea, he went to the grocery store and ordered ten pickle jars, and when Lao Yang came to call him to come and pull it.Originally, it only cost a penny to sit in the ox cart of Lao Yang Touer, because they also brought such things, and Lao Yang Touer came to pick them up on purpose, and there were not many people sitting back and forth, and when he arrived at the door, Lu Wenhai paid a few more pennies, and got a few words of praise from Lao Yang Touer, and Lao Yang Touer helped move the things back home, and then left.At this time, it is already dusk, the sun has completely set, and the smoke is rising from every house, and the evening scene of the countryside is beautiful.Du Wenxiu admired it at the door of his house for a while, and then turned around and went home, and Fang's nagging and complaining also came as scheduled.She sighed secretly, when she didn't see herself, Fang didn't say anything, as soon as she came in, she found someone to say those light words.Du Wenxiu ignored her, because she bought steamed buns in the town, she only cooked a sweet soup at night, and the family sat down to eat together.took a vegetarian bun and ate it first, and Du Wenxiu felt even more panicked - this bun is stuffed with shepherd's cabbage.My family lives in this village, how many shepherd's cabbage can't be dug up, but it costs some white flour and a little salt, and the firewood for the pot is picked up from the mountains, so why do you need any money.Thinking about the wrongful spending of this money, the bun in his hand instantly became unfragrant.complained that Lu Fanghai had to buy it, and he would definitely make it himself tomorrow, and he would not buy buns to do this wrong.Lu Fanghai responded with a smile, Fang muttered that Du Wenxiu wanted to eat it, and his son bought it, and now he is talking about it.Du Wenxiu hatefully stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth, and raised his hand to take a meat bun: "Mother, eat quickly, this bun is expensive, eat two more bites, say less, and occupy your mouth." ”Qiao'er hiccuped with laughter, and Fang Shi put the sweet soup heavily in front of her, taking the opportunity to reprimand her.After eating, it was dark, and I bought some tung oil in the town today, and I was reluctant to use it, and the family rested on the kang early.In the middle of the night, Du Wenxiu, who was sleeping in a daze, had a nightmare, was scared awake, and opened his eyes to see that Lu Fanghai was missing on the moonlit half of the kang.She couldn't help but sit up, feeling the slight temperature on the kang over there, thinking that he had gone to get up at night.He was about to fall asleep, when he heard a whisper outside, and a shadow passed by the window and opened the door.Lu Fanghai came in and saw Du Wenxiu sitting up, and he was startled."
Did you wake you up?"
His deep voice came, Du Wenxiu shook his head, and remembered that the moonlight could not shine on his side, shaking his head for fear that he would not be able to see it."
No, I'm having nightmares.How did you get out?
”Lu Fanghai hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll tell you later, I used the money I used to sell the roe deer before, can you give it to me?"
”Du Wenxiu didn't know why, so he went to the place where the money was hidden, took more than 20 taels of silver, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to him.He turned to go out, and there was another voice outside, and after a while, there was no sound.After Lu Fanghai came back, he was silent for a long time, and just when Du Wenxiu thought he was asleep, he said softly, "Sangui is gone." ”"Huh?"
Only then did Du Wenxiu, who was a little drowsy, sit up again."
What do you mean you're gone?""
Nope.It's nothing, it's just that he's gone and no longer in our village. ”Lu Fanghai didn't expect her to react so much, so he hurriedly got up and hugged her shoulders and hugged her gently.Du Wenxiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said angrily: "Startle me, you can't speak clearly."
Was he the one who just came?
”"Well, he's coming to say goodbye to me, and I'm thinking of raising some money for him."
Lu Fanghai leaned on Du Wenxiu's shoulder, and his voice was muffled."
Daughter-in-law, I will earn this money back, don't worry."
Du Wenxiu glanced blankly in the dark, and said angrily: "Could it be that in your eyes, am I such a shallow-eyed person?"
Money is dead, people are alive, he is your brother, he has something, you should help.As long as we are not lazy, it is a matter of time before life is good, and these children are not bad.Go to bed. ”With that, he pushed his shoulders against his thick chest and fell asleep.Before dawn in the morning, Du Wenxiu was woken up by the noise outside.Hearing that, the Fang clan of the hall also got up, opened the courtyard door and asked what was going on.Du Wenxiu tied his hair roughly, and leaned over to listen."
Ershun's family is dead!"
Meng Pozi's eyebrows fluttered and she relayed to Fang's family.Aunt Lu's family had an accident, and after she came back, she locked the door tightly, and never went out again.In the past few days, Mrs.
Meng in the west of the village has always come to gossip with the Fang family, both of them are about the same age, Mrs.
Meng has already hugged her grandson, and she goes to any house with her grandson every day, there is nothing in this village that she doesn't know, seeing that she is mysterious at the door of the Lu family, everyone has gathered."
Ershun is dead?"
Fang Shi gasped and tiptoed to look at the village, but he couldn't see anything.Meng Pozi blocked her face with one hand, turned her head slightly sideways, and said in a gesture of whispering, but her voice was not small: "Ershun's daughter-in-law and Xie Dongcai, the two of them have no clothes on, and they died on the kang in the house!"
”"Huh?"
Everyone who heard it was shocked, this amount of information is too much!"
Oh, Ershun's honest child, is this true?"
Some villagers didn't believe it and wondered.Mrs.
Meng sighed and pouted: "How is it not true."
The old man Wu got up early this morning to pick up dung, and saw that Ershun's house was lit up, and when he went over, the courtyard door was wide open, and he shouldn't have called it, so he went over to take a look, ouch, hey, tsk. ”Meng Pozi also sold Guanzi, and everyone urged her to speak quickly, so she slowly spoke: "There are two naked people on the kang inside, the quilt is torn to the ground, a mess of blood, tsk is so frightened that others don't see it clearly, hurry up to pat the door of the village chief's house, and call someone to see it, this is unbelievable, isn't that man Xie Dongcai, the village chief fainted on the spot." ”"Why is Xie Dong at Ershun's house?"
Everyone had some ideas in their hearts, but they still asked them, and they couldn't say that others would think of the same place with them.As he was talking, the sound of an ox cart came from outside the village, and it turned out that after the village chief woke up, he asked Lao Yang Tou'er to set up a car and go to the county government to report the case.Du Wenxiu, who was quietly listening to the gossip of the villagers, felt a little strange in his heart, remembering what Yulan said about the things in the forest, and Lu Fanghai said that Sangui left last night Du Wenxiu turned around, washed up and went to cook on the fire, but he was a little absent-minded.Did Lu Fanghai know that Lu Sangui had killed someone?
Did Lu Ershun kill the adulterer and adulteress with Sangui, or did his younger brother leave together for fear of being implicated after the murder?
As soon as they walked away like this, they didn't even cover it up, and the errand officer could conclude that it was them who did it, and they came to the Lu family again last night, would it implicate Lu Fanghai?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Du Wenxiu took off his apron, shouted Qiao'er to look at the fire, and went out to check carefully around the courtyard wall, until he confirmed that there were no suspicious traces before coming back.
