"If only the three of us can't find it, uncle can't look for it now, there's no need." Shen Miaozhu told the two of them not to tell Second Grandpa.
Shen Xianzhu stopped and said, "I'll go and guard it. After you have invited Second Grandpa, come and clean the memorial archway."
Shen Lingzhu wanted to say that the potion had not been prepared yet, but when his senior sister gently poked his arm, he stopped talking.
But when the eldest brother ran away, she said, "He is guarding now. The people who do bad things may find out that we have noticed something strange."
"He may not be a villager. Even if he is, how dare he come out after doing dirty things in secret?" Shen Miaozhu urged her to leave quickly and go back later to see if the peeper was caught.
Shen Lingzhu coughed twice: "Talisman, does it work?"
Shen Miaozhu's answer was very official: "Believe it and it will work."
When the two men went to the second grandfather's house, neither he nor the second grandmother was at home. It was said that they had gone out for something.
Not long after they left, Xiaoshan, who was on his way to school after lunch, caught up with them and said, "My grandparents are going to help Third Grandpa pick someone up."
He looked around and saw no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Everyone said that Third Grandma went back to her parents' home, but that's not the case."
The boy had an expression that said "quickly ask" on his face, which made Shen Lingzhu laugh.
Shen Miaozhu asked politely, "Then where did she go?"
Finally, he offered a condition: "Let me borrow your bamboo slingshot for two days."
"I gave it to my uncle." Shen Lingzhu patted his empty waist.
Xiaoshan was very disappointed, "Your slingshot is very powerful, even more powerful than Uncle Ba's. I like it very much, and I like the bamboo crossbow even more.
Unfortunately, my father only let me try shooting the slingshot twice before returning it to Uncle Wu.
Shen Lingzhu's heart moved: "Ten cents, are the boys willing to buy it?"
"I'll buy it, and you sell it to me." Xiaoshan's eyes lit up instantly, and he even said, "I have saved up some New Year's money."
"Tomorrow, oh no, I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow. Anyone in the clan school who wants it can ask me to make it." Tomorrow, the senior sister will go to Qixing Temple, and Shen Lingzhu thinks the slingshot can be developed.
Shen Miaozhu said to Xiaoshan: "We don't sell to people in the village, we'll make one and give it to you."
"Why?" Shen Lingzhu and Xiaoshan asked in unison.
When Shen Lingzhu heard her senior sister say the word "dangerous", she disagreed: "Axes and knives are more dangerous, but blacksmiths still sell them."
"Listen carefully, I said I won't sell it to the villagers." Shen Miaozhu raised her hand and hit her with a popcorn.
She was so happy that she didn't feel the pain. "Okay, I'll sell it at market time."
Then she urged Xiaoshan to tell some gossip, and it turned out that Third Grandma went to the county town to take care of her injured youngest son Shen Man. She said that after he failed the county examination in February, he saw his classmates taking the provincial examination. He was so distracted that he fell into the river and never got back sick.
"Why don't you come back to recuperate?" The newly built house of Third Grandpa looks wealthy, but is he really so sick that he needs to recuperate in the county?
Xiaoshan said, "A few days after returning from the Dragon Boat Festival, when the officials came to the clan school to confiscate your things, Uncle Shiman was there. He and my grandfather opened the Qiangong bed for the officials to inspect.
Later, Third Uncle said he wanted to carry the bed back home, but he firmly opposed it. When his plan failed, he said he had a headache.
But on the surface, he said that he was busy with schoolwork, and hurried back to the county town. After a quarrel between his third grandmother and third grandfather, he followed him there two days later.
"Why are you here, Third Uncle?" Shen Lingzhu thought he was doing something for nothing.
But after Xiaoshan separated from them, Shen Miaozhu said, "It's quite strange. I wonder if the secret room of the Qiangong bed was opened at that time."
"Hmm?" Shen Lingzhu was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Senior Sister, this is just groundless speculation."
Shen Miaozhu remained noncommittal: "It's best to have a reasonable suspicion, but nothing is wrong."
She intuitively felt that Shen Man's reaction was not right.
