When Hu Luanfei fell asleep, it was already daybreak. If it weren't for the clanging sound outside the door, she would still be dreaming.
When she woke up, got dressed and went out, her parents were already up.
The three of them met at the same time, and none of them knew what had just happened when someone made the sound of something falling to the ground.
Is there a thief?
The three of them became alert again and explored the area around the courtyard.
However, suddenly another sound came from Jiang Shan's room. There was a loud "bang", as if a table was breaking into pieces.
The three of them hurried over, and when they entered, the room was surprisingly quiet.
Hu Luanfei saw Jiang Shan standing in front of the rotten table motionless, looking like a statue.
"What's going on?" Hu Luanfei took two steps forward worriedly.
Jiang Shan did not respond.
"How?" The question was about what he said last night about investigating the white-faced scholar.
But when this was mentioned, Jiang Shan squatted down with his head in his hands and screamed like a madman, as if Hu Luanfei was tearing open his wounds.
"Leave him alone, I'm going to open the store first." The old man pulled the old lady away.
Hu Luanfei and Jiang Shan were the only ones left in the room. He cried with a hoarse voice, repeating as if he could only say the same two sentences over and over again, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Hu Luanfei looked at him and spoke carefully, "Tell me about it..."
He growled in pain, like a small animal that had run into a dead end, his voice was hoarse, and tears rolled down his cold cheeks one by one, "I didn't mean to touch him, I really didn't mean to."
Jiang Shan was in such a state that he probably couldn't get anything out of him. Hu Luanfei told him to take a good rest and she would take care of the business of the courtyard.
Just at this moment, there was noise outside the yard again.
There were quite a lot of guests at noon, so there were also a lot of people watching.
There was a man in the crowd lying on the ground, holding his stomach and yelling, "The noodles are poisonous...". He looked pale and sweaty, and he didn't look like he was lying. The people who were holding noodles and watching the show suddenly put down their bowls and chopsticks, hesitating whether to spit out the food in their mouths.
Hu Luanfei put down the pot and spoon, wiped his hands and walked out, and the crowd automatically made way for him.
The man called her over and yelled even louder, "The noodles are poisonous, don't eat them!"
Hu Luanfei glanced down at him and asked, "What noodles are poisonous?"
Someone broke into a farmer's yard and poisoned the sauce last night, and someone was poisoned today. This is definitely a conspiracy, not a coincidence.
Hu Luanfei had already replaced the sauce. Even the shrimps used today were produced in the space. The soup used was also exchanged with the spiritual spring in the space. All the ingredients and pots were also replaced. If you want to cheat her, you can't.
The person lying on the ground rolled his eyes and shouted, "The seafood noodles are poisonous. All ways of eating seafood are poisonous. My stomach hurts so much. I am dying. I am dying... It hurts so much."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd: "Who is going to die?"
The man who was rolling over shut up tactfully and wanted to wait until the person passed before saying anything else.
Who would have thought that the next moment, he dismounted, calmly walked through the crowd, came to him and squatted, drew out the sword he was carrying, and pointed the cold sword at his neck, "I heard that the blood of a poisoned person is black, I want to see if it's true."
The crowd was so shocked that they could have stuffed an egg into their mouths. Only Hu Luanfei was not afraid of the excitement and joined in the commotion: "I want to verify this, too. Please cut his neck and let the blood flow."
The man lying on the ground stared with his mouth open for a long time, and then he said in front of everyone's curious eyes: "I was poisoned by rat poison after eating her seafood noodles. Now my stomach hurts so much. You can't eat anymore. Be careful not to end up like me."
Hu Luanfei suddenly asked an irrelevant question out of nowhere: "Where do you usually buy rat poison?"
"They sell it at Old Man Wang's on the corner of West Street."
After saying this, everyone paused and looked at the man lying on the ground like fools.
That person didn't seem to realize that not only was his acting skills poor, but his lines were also so poor that he accidentally revealed his true colors.
Everyone asked: "How do you know there was rat poison in the noodles?"
"Did you see the cook put it there with your own eyes?"
The man slid down the pole. "Yes, the cook put it there."
Someone else asked, "Which cook, male or female?"
"male."
Now everyone understood that this person was lying!
Someone even asked him, "You knew the cook had poisoned the noodles, why did you eat them?"
"That's right. We can't even tell whether you hurt him or he hurt you."
The man stammered and couldn't explain clearly. Seeing that things were not going well, he stood up and was about to run away, but Qi Si Liao beside him grabbed him by the collar and said, "You want to run away without giving a reasonable explanation?"
"Please spare my life, I know I was wrong..."
Qi Si Liao instantly became stern and said, "Tell me! Who sent you to slander her?"
The man was very timid and fainted due to the fright.
Qi Siliao threw the man to Jiang Si and turned towards Hu Luanfei.
Because there are too many things to do every day, Hu Luanfei didn't expect Qi Siliao to find here for a while. She thought for a while: "How did you know we were here?"
Hu Luanfei paused for a moment before she spoke awkwardly, "I'm afraid Jiang Shan wrote to you about this. By the way, I've just made a dish of raw shrimp. Why don't you try it for me and see if it tastes good?"
The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Si led people to the nearby government office. Now, only Qi Siriao and Hu Luanfei were left on the street, gazing at each other affectionately.
Hu Luanfei was dressed like a cook, with her hair tied up with a sky-blue silk scarf, a floral apron around her waist, and even old clothes that she had given up wearing on weekdays. She looked like a fat peasant woman. However, she was delicate and fair-skinned, and no matter how she dressed, she looked much better than other peasant women. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and in his eyes, she was as white as the bright moon, which could not be tarnished.
"I heard that a new seafood noodle restaurant opened in Lonely Town. I thought that since you just got the shrimp cooking secrets, you must be busy. So I guessed that you and Jiang Shan were doing something in Lonely Town, so I came here with Jiang Si following the smell."
Hu Luanfei chuckled and pinched his cheek, which was darker than before, "Are you two dogs? Your noses are so sensitive."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere became a little strange, so he immediately stopped talking and fell silent.
His eyes were as calm as ink, emitting a dim light. He stared at her like a hungry wolf, as if he wanted to open his bloody mouth and eat her alive when she wasn't paying attention.
The customers sitting in the back yard looked at the window indifferently, and while eating noodles they fixed their eyes on the two of them with great interest.
Hu Luanfei suddenly felt a huge heat of light behind him and was at a loss for what to do.
