Three-pot porridge and naan

Taohua Village is near the Taohua River, only half a mile away from Taohuadi.Because the area is surrounded by rivers, most of the residents in this area make a living by fishing and hunting.

The fisherman who led Wandong and Moli into the village hurriedly went ahead, so that they could go back and let their daughter-in-law cook and make tea.

When Wandong and Moli were standing at the entrance of the village, many villagers had come out of their houses to say hello to them.

"That is the adult who is investigating the case at Taohuadi, and was invited by the She family to have dinner today."

"The grown-ups from She's family who are good at talking came here, but his mother-in-law's cooking is not delicious, not as good as my wife's cooking." The man who came back with the She's family couldn't help it. He hugged his chest and complained a few words.

Before Wandong reached She's house, he already had a basket of eggs in one hand, and a big papaya and two pockets of Chinese cabbage in the other.

Contrary to him, Mo Li didn't hold anything in his hands, not all because he looked so serious that the villagers didn't dare to get close to him. In fact, the villagers were not afraid of this, but Mo Li refused several times in a row, and the villagers understood , I didn’t give him anything more.

A handsome young man like Wandong has a faint smile on his eyes and brows. The villagers probably felt that he was close to him, so they flocked to give him things.

The reason Mo Li was not accepted was because Mo Li was a high-ranking official. Wandong was not afraid of this, he only thought that the villagers would be sad if he did not accept him...haha.

The two were about to reach She's house, and Wandong saw a farmer who was building a new house. It should be the owner of the farmer poked his head out to look at them, but quickly went into the house again.

If you are afraid of life, you shouldn't react like this...

The corners of Wandong's lips curled up slightly.

After arriving at She's house, Wandong put down the things in his hands. The eldest son of She's family was about the same age as his cousin Mei Xiaobai, who looked thirteen or fourteen years old. He poured herbal tea for Wandong and Moli, and served them Soil peanuts.

That boy's face was red, although he was not as good as Mei Xiaobai, but he looked simple and comfortable, he should be cramped, he didn't dare to speak, and sat obediently after pouring tea.

The man from the She family came over with a plate of freshly cut goose meat, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Masters, please try our stewed goose meat first. I soaked the knife in cold water from the well and sliced ​​it piece by piece. Thin slices like this, dipped in sweetmeat powder and eaten."

While the man was talking, his son had already put the plate of plum sauce on the table and brought the wine jar over.

The villagers said that the sister-in-law of the She family can't cook. That's because the wife of the She family is not from the north. Her natal family is in the south of Dayi, a little further south than Xiaohe. She is good at cooking cold food and cold dishes, and this end of July Today, even though the weather has turned cold, it still has the residual heat of summer, so it's just right to eat this at noon.

The sweet and sour sweetness of sweet-smelling plum powder accompanied by the stewed fragrance made Wandong and Moli's eyes shine, um, it's delicious.

"This is spicy jelly, and spicy lung slices, adults will try it later." The hospitable Lao She served one plate after another.

Wandong could tell that the Mo carp had never eaten these, so the Mo carp probably had never been to the south of Dayi either.

Wandong has been to the south of Dayi to know some cold food and cold dishes in the south.

She's sister-in-law's cooking skills are good, Mo Li ate two bowls of rice, and the others ate up the goose meat and spicy lung slices and drank a couple of glasses of wine.

When the meal was almost finished, the sister-in-law of She's family served sake with eggs, saying that it could sober up the spirit of alcohol.

When Wandong saw the white rice grains floating in the bowl, he stared in a daze for a while, before realizing that this was wine made from rice, so there were rice grains in it.

Mo Li squinted his eyes at Wandong, and Xiao Wandong only showed a bit of childishness when he was in a daze.

However, this is what a 17-year-old should look like.

Wandong ate, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked, "Old She, the next door to you is building a new house, isn't there a happy event?"

He seemed to be talking in a family-like tone, which made people feel comfortable. The She family poured him wine and replied, "Old man Qi wanted to marry his youngest son a wife, so he fought at the grain drying field in the old house." New house."

"Well, I said that there are still people living in the back, so it's their old house."

"Actually, old man Qi's youngest son ran away a long time ago. He thought our Peach Blossom Village was too poor. The boy was born well, but he was lazy and didn't want to follow old man Qi out of the boat in the middle of the night, so he ran to other places to be the son-in-law of the rich family. I haven't been back for almost a year. The old man Qi's new house in the valley field was not planned to be built because he had no money to buy bricks. Two days ago, he suddenly built it again and invited a bricklayer from the former village to come over. helper……"

"So that's how it is..." Wandong was a little dazed, probably thinking of something else.

The meal is over.

In order to thank Lao She for his kind hospitality, Mo Li left a coin, but Lao She refused to accept it, but he was drunk and did not see Mo Li put the money on the table.

When Wandong went out, he saw Mo Li's tense face, and he thought that Mo Li was probably hurting the money... Mr. Mo is really in short supply, but Mr. Mo dare not eat the hospitality meal of the people's house, It should be because he is afraid that the government will find out that he will be accused of bribery.

Master Mo cares about fame, and he is struggling... well, such a serious person is much more serious than Zou Wu'an.

Mo Li paused, then glanced coldly at Wan Dong: "Since leaving the door of She's house, to now, what are you laughing at?"

"...Cough." Wandong coughed, and his expression remained expressionless again. He probably didn't notice that Mo Carp's ears were turning red.

The man in She's family drank too much and insisted on sending Wandong and Moli to Taohuadi.

Seeing Wandong and Moli walking away, the She family wandered back home.

On the way, Mo Li looked at Wandong: "Are you going or should I go?" When he was at She's house, he could tell that Wandong had his eyes on Old Man Qi.

"I'm going at night, Mr. Mo can find me a place to rest first."

Mo Li led Wandong to the nearest post station to rest.

Wandong was extremely tired, so he rode to the inn, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep.

When he woke up, Moli, who had fallen asleep, had already gone to Peach Blossom Embankment.

Wandong saw that it was almost dark, so he rode out, parked the horse behind the Peach Blossom Embankment, and headed towards Peach Blossom Village alone.

Wandong managed to find the back of old man Qi's house in Peach Blossom Village, and climbed up to the roof of old man Qi's old house after climbing for a long time...

He panted slightly, now with this third-rate internal strength, it is difficult to do anything.

Wandong squatted on the roof for a stick of incense, and then heard some movement in the room, he bent slightly and looked carefully through the cracks in the roof——

The old man dragged in a bag and fetched another bucket of water.

The bag contains mortar for building walls, which can be used to paste bricks when mixed with water.

Wandong looked suspiciously at the half-built wall in front of old man Qi. Was this old man planning to build a wall at home at night?The old man still has such a hobby...

No... something is wrong.

Building walls, I suddenly started building a new house two days ago, I go fishing for a living...

Suddenly, Wandong's eyes were as clear as stars.

Quickly arriving at Taohuadi, Wandong found Mo Li: "Master Mo, let's take people to surround Old Man Qi's house."

When Mo Li was about to ask, Wan Dong said, "I'll tell you on the way, let's go."

Mo Li naturally believed in Xin Wandong, and immediately called seven arresters to follow him to Peach Blossom Village.

When the government officials entered Taohua Village, the barking of dogs woke up the villagers, and several people came out with their clothes on.

"Going inside? To She's house? Didn't that adult come here during the day? He went to She's house, right?"

"wrong……"

"They stopped at Old Man Qi's house, and I'll go and have a look."

After seven or eight arresters rushed in, old man Qi took the hoe behind the door, waved it and shouted: "What are you doing! Get out! This is my home!"

"The government handles the case." Mo Li spit out these four words indifferently, and walked towards the wall that Wandong said was being built, and a hole was smashed in the wall almost as soon as he was using his internal strength. .

"Come on!"

Two policemen went forward quickly and pulled the remaining bricks out of the hole one by one.

"Oh my God...!"

When the scene inside the wall was revealed, the two detectives exclaimed in unison.
