Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Inside the open door of the Du family, several police officers who arrived first were looking around, and the neighbor who first discovered something was wrong was being questioned.

There was nothing unusual in the courtyard, but when I looked through the door, I saw that the main room was in a mess, with a table full of food and wine overturned.

Lu Fanghai went closer to take a look, and saw that the three members of the Du family were all sitting at the table with their heads bowed, with looks of ecstasy on their faces.

All three of them had black lips and died with blood gushing out of all their orifices.

"Brother Lu..." Wu Xiaoliu walked up to Lu Fanghai and called softly with dark circles under his eyes.

Lu Fanghai seemed to have just come to his senses and glanced at him.

"Oh, they are all dead." After saying that, he actually laughed. "What do you mean by deserved to die? This is what it means to deserve to die! Haha."

"How dare you." A stern shout came from behind. Lu Fanghai turned around and saw that it was the county lieutenant Fan Zhao who arrived.

Everyone saluted Fan Zhao. Fan Zhao nodded, looked gloomy, glared at Lu Fanghai, and walked in.

Wu Xiaoliu tugged at the corner of Lu Fanghai's clothes and gave him a wink, but Lu Fanghai didn't care and followed Fan Zhao into the house.

Except for the food and wine spilled all over the floor on the dining table in front of the hall, other places were not touched, but there were obvious signs of being turned over.

"Is the whole family here?" Fan Zhao asked in a deep voice.

Wu Xiaoliu looked at Lu Fanghai, and Fan Zhao's eyes also moved over.

"Do you know this family?"

"Yes." Lu Fanghai bowed and said, "This family's surname is Du, and they are my father-in-law's family."

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhao frowned. He remembered Lu Fanghai's performance just now and looked at him with some confusion.

Lu Fanghai smiled softly and continued:

"This old man is my father-in-law. Everyone calls him Du Xiucai. Over there are his wife and son Du Wenshan. There was a daughter in the family named Du Wenchan, but she was sold by them last night."

"There is another person who is missing. She is Du Wenshan's step-wife Qin Dingxiang. She was originally from Fengning City. She begged all the way to Dongxing County to find her relatives. She arrived at the Du family a few months ago, but she didn't even greet them and just stayed there."

Fan Zhao's face was gloomy and he remained silent. After a while, he went out and asked the neighbors how they discovered that something was wrong with the Du family.

The neighbor was woken up by Du Wenxiu knocking on the door last night. When he got up at night, he seemed to hear the sound of the Du family's door opening and closing. He got up early and was worried about it, so he decided to take a look.

I called outside for a long time but no one answered. I reached out and pushed the door, and it opened naturally. I felt something was wrong.

When they went in, they saw that the door to the main room was wide open and the room was in a mess. Du Wenshan was slumped on the table with his head sideways, his eyes still open, looking outside.

This scene frightened the neighbor so much that he crawled out of the Du family’s gate and went straight to the government office to report the case.

After hearing his neighbor's clear and organized explanation, Fan Zhao stroked his beard and thought for a long time.

He turned and looked at Lu Fanghai again.

"Based on the clues we have now, the murderer should be Du Wenshan's step-wife Qin Dingxiang. But what was her motive for murder? Do you know?"

Lu Fanghai said, "Master Fan, a few days ago I saw a portrait of a seaman from Fengning City from the station leader Yu Bantou. It was a portrait of Qin Xiangyu, a woman from Fengning City who killed three people and was on the run. The face in the portrait was somewhat similar to Qin Dingxiang, but I just glanced at it quickly and didn't look at it carefully."

Leaving the coroner to inspect the scene, Fan Zhao took a few people back to the county government office and went to Yu Sanzheng to get the portrait of the fugitive for verification.

The next day, the fugitive Qin Xiangyu's portrait was posted all over the gates of Dongxing County so that the city guards could check and hunt her down.

When Lu Fanghai returned home and told Du Wenxiu about this, the two sisters hugged each other and cried.

She cried and cursed, saying that God had eyes and she would never have to worry about the Du family harming her again.

"Don't cry, Chan'er. Ask your brother-in-law to get some wine and some delicious food. We will have a good meal at home to celebrate the death of this black-hearted villain."

Du Wenchan hurriedly stopped her.

"Sister, you already owed me a lot of money yesterday, why are you spending money again? Let me cook a few delicious dishes myself and we can eat them."

Although they congratulated themselves behind closed doors, they could not ignore the Du family's funeral.

After the government had reached a conclusion, the Du sisters took the body out, spent a few coins to deposit it in a charity cemetery, and never cared about it again.

All the neighbors knew that Du Wenchan had been sold, but apart from saying it was retribution behind her back, no one gossiped about it.

After coming to her senses, Du Wenchan remembered that her sister was not feeling well and urged her to go see a doctor.

Lu Fanghai heard this and asked her what happened. Du Wenxiu smiled and said:

"It's not a big deal, but she's so nervous. But she seems listless every day. Maybe she's overworked these days and her blood is a little weak."

Lu Fanghai was worried, so he went to the government office to check in and then went home, wanting to take Du Wenxiu to see him.

Unable to persuade him, Du Wenxiu had to pack up her things and go with him, constantly repeating along the way that she actually had nothing to do.

Lu Fanghai was annoyed that she didn't take her health seriously and remained silent.

When they arrived at Jishidi Hall, Doctor Wang happened to come out. Seeing Lu Fanghai and his wife, he hurriedly greeted them:

"Oh, it's Master Lu. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Lu Fanghai explained his purpose, and Doctor Wang asked Du Wenxiu to sit down and take his pulse.

After pondering for a while, Doctor Wang looked at Lu Fanghai who looked nervous and said with a smile:

"Congratulations to Master Lu. Madam Du is undoubtedly pregnant."

Hearing what Doctor Wang said, they were both stunned.

Lu Fanghai came back to his senses, his eyebrows were full of joy, and he kept saying: "Xiuniang, you are pregnant, we are going to have a baby."

He was grinning from ear to ear.

Du Wenxiu had a dazed look on her face, as if she didn't believe it. She lowered her head to look at her belly and touched it again and again.

"I... I'm pregnant?" She lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of scaring the baby in her belly.

Doctor Wang stroked his gray beard, looked at the two young couples who were about to become parents, and nodded and smiled.

Du Wenxiu still couldn't believe it. She always felt that she was a soul from another world and didn't fit in with this body.

So I was mentally prepared to not have children.

This...she suddenly became pregnant, and she didn't know how to react.

She panicked.

"I really... have a child? Is the baby healthy?" She looked at Doctor Wang, full of hope.

Doctor Wang smiled awkwardly and replied:

"Mrs. Du has been pregnant for a short time, so we can't tell anything. You should relax these days, eat more and move less."

"But I didn't vomit..."

"Every woman has different reactions when she is pregnant. Madam Du is definitely pregnant. I, Wang Shilu, have been practicing medicine for many years, so I do have some skills."

Seeing that Doctor Wang's face darkened and he looked somewhat unhappy, Lu Fanghai hurriedly thanked him and carefully helped Du Wenxiu home.

Back at the shop, Du Wenchan came over with concern and asked what the doctor said.

Lu Fanghai smiled innocently and said, "Doctor Wang said that Xiuniang is pregnant."

Du Wenchan's face was full of surprise. She stepped forward and grabbed Du Wenxiu, who was obviously not in the right state. She circled around her several times, then turned to Lu Fanghai and said:

"Congratulations, brother-in-law and sister, they are going to have a baby boy."

Lu Fanghai chuckled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the pedestrians on the street outside the shop and shouted:

"Lu Dawei, stop!"

He told Du Wenchan to take good care of his sister, then ran out.
