old scheming

Su Mu was walking on the street, and there was a brazier every few meters. The fire inside had been extinguished. That was the way the villagers came up with, that is, the men took turns guarding it every night.

Although this method is costly in manpower and material resources, it is quite effective. Indeed, there have been no cases of missing babies in the past few days.

Because Xiao Guyao's clothes were a little too big, and the corners of the skirt were worn out by the mud, Su Mu thought about going to Zhou Scissors to see if the clothes were finished, and if they were not finished, let him pick Yao'er first do.

Little did he know that he was still wearing tattered clothes.

Xu said that no baby has disappeared recently, and Uncle Zhou still looked cheerful, "It's all cut, the one was just cut yesterday, and I'm about to send someone to send it to my nephew!"

"Uncle Zhou really lives up to his reputation." Su Mu looked at the tailoring and stitching of the clothes, the integration was very rigorous, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In modern times, it is high-end. From this point of view, the life of the ancients is more refined.

The tailor's shop looked clean at first glance, but upon closer inspection there were still some fine dust in the corners. It seemed that Uncle Zhou took care of it by himself every day. After all, he was a man, so he was still not fine.For example, on the table in the corner, leftover scraps, rusty scissors, and a basket of waste twine balls were all piled up together.

Su Mu was about to walk back with the ready-made clothes, when he inadvertently saw a pile of black soil under the table, which was the unique soil in the black pine forest, and only those who had been there could be stained with that kind of black soil.

Su Mu's heart tightened, and he took back the leg he had just stepped out, and asked, "Uncle Zhou, have Village Chief Hua and Miss Rong Rong visited our shop in the past few days?"

Uncle Zhou shook his head.

"What about Brother Liu? Butcher Liu, Liu Dawan, has he been here?"

Uncle Zhou shook his head again, "Nor have I been here before."

"Then Yao'er hasn't been here yet?"

"That's natural. I heard that it's dirty... Our Yao'er was brought up very decently and filially by the nephew. The nephew was injured recently, but he took care of him every step of the way." Speaking of this week The uncle seemed to think of something just after Fangfo, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with my nephew's injury..."

But before he finished speaking, Aunt Zhou came in from the inner hall, complaining to Uncle Zhou, "I'm still in the mood to chat with Mr. Su, hurry up and cut Miss Liu's cloak."

"What's the hurry, Miss Liu didn't rush me, a big cloak, just make it before autumn comes."

Aunt Zhou explained: "Why didn't you remind me? I came to ask in person yesterday."

"Aunt Zhou, you mean Miss Liu came here yesterday?"

"That's right!" Aunt Zhou's expression was unclear, as if she thought Su Mu's question was a bit strange.

Zhou Scissors asked her, "When did you come here? Why don't I know."

"That's when you went to deliver ready-made clothes to the rich man's little wife. When he came, I was white-browed and red-eyed. I couldn't say anything. I had to make amends."

Aunt Zhou was angry and acted like a baby. Su Mu worried that she would become overnourished due to being stuffed with dog food, so she hurried home.

The first thing he did when he got home was to ask Yao'er to change into the new clothes. His skin was as white as snow under the black clothes, and he tied up the cuffs, deftly and without loss of proportion.

Su Mu smiled in satisfaction, and before he knew it, it was night again.

Although my back has gotten better in the past few days, it is humid in the mountains, and it is now the rainy season.Su Mu still had little sleep, the wound from the smash was painful and itchy, so he had to lie on his stomach.

Just when Su Mu finally closed his eyelids, there was a sound from the straw on the roof. He tried to lift his eyelids, thinking it was a mouse, so he ignored it, and then there were several hurried sounds, and Su Mu heard it, It seems that someone is walking on the room.

Regardless of the injury in his back, Su Mu jumped off the bed suddenly. At the same time, the door was kicked open by the man in black, and Su Guyao was also awakened by the sound of the door.

The visitor is not good.Su Mu shouted loudly: "Xiao Xiao!"

In the past few days, I have been in constant contact with Su Guyao, and my internal strength is continuous, but I am not very proficient in swordsmanship. A soft sword is as tough as a dragon, and I almost hurt myself after several rounds.

The visitor was just holding a short and sharp dagger, with a petite figure, one could tell it was a woman at a glance.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, Su Mu still has a system blessing, although it is a bit cheating, but it was reliable once, and barely scratched the shoulder of the man in black.

The man in black covered his shoulder injury, as if he was afraid that Su Mu would recognize her by hearing her voice, and ran away without saying a word. By the time Su Mu chased him out, he had already disappeared without a trace.

The man in black was silent, and the villagers who were on guard on the road heard the sound and asked: "Mr. Su, what's the matter?" Some even joked: "Little dirty monkey, have you made Mr. Su angry again?" .”

Su Mu turned his head and saw Xiao Guyao following him, with a worried expression on his face, "Master, are you alright?"

Su Mu shook his head, seeing that he was only wearing unlined clothing, it was quite annoying, "It's very humid at night, why did you come out without wearing any clothes, why don't you go in sooner."

"How could anyone want to kill you? Do you know who it is?"

"Not sure yet." Su Mu sighed, looking at the already dead door, said regretfully, "The door is broken, let's cover it tightly tonight."

In the middle of the night, after Wang Qingping finished feeding his finger-thick big black centipede, Fang left the study contentedly and walked to the bedroom.

The little girl who was watching the night in the corridor suddenly became full of energy and called the young master with a blushing face. She tried to climb into the young master's bed and turn herself into a serf to sing. Little did she know that Young Master Wang had studied medicine for many years and had developed a nose as flexible as her master. The most annoying thing is the choking powdery smell.

He turned a blind eye and walked forward. Suddenly, he stopped, and there seemed to be another smell mixed in the strong smell of powder, which was faintly fishy and sweet.

"The kitchen has been rested, where is the smell of blood coming from?" Wang Qingping glanced at the two little girls, "No, it didn't come from them." He frowned as he thought about it, and finally stopped in a guest room. , After a pause, he still decided to knock on the door.

As soon as she raised her hand, the little girl just came out of the room. Seeing him panicked, she stammered: "Wang, Wang, Young Master Wang, our lady has already rested."

"Oh haha! I'm here to remind Miss Liu that gangsters have been rampant recently. I hope you don't scare her." Wang Qingping was still a little embarrassed when he was bumped into in front of someone's boudoir in the middle of the night, but he saw the little girl holding a cloth The smell of blood was particularly strong inside, so he asked, "What is this? Where did so much blood come from?"

"This is, this is, my lady's menstrual leaflet. I'm going to throw it away. I'm very sorry for dirtying Young Master Wang's eyes." After all, it's a little girl, so it's embarrassing to mention this in front of a man.

Wang Qingping became more and more embarrassed, and turned back to his bedroom.

When he got up early the next morning, he heard that a thief had entered the next door. He felt that the thief must have come from afar, and he didn't know whose family was poor.I also heard that the door was almost stolen, so I thought about going to condolences and condolences, to see if there is anything that needs help.

Su Guyao knew a little bit of carpentry, so he could only repair it, but it was a bit embarrassing for him to install a door or something.The master and apprentice were discussing what to do when Wang Qingping arrived.

"Why don't Brother Su and Xiaoyao move to my house."

"Qing Ping, you're too polite. How can you be so embarrassing? Besides, I'll just find a carpenter to do one in the afternoon." Su Mu evaded, not because of anything else, but because Mrs. Yuan Wai's attitude towards Yao'er disgusted him.

"It's not so easy to make a door. It takes about ten days to cut and polish the wood. Our house is not short of those two rooms. Brother Su and I don't want to see each other."

Just as Su Mu was about to open his mouth, Su Guyao said bluntly, "It's enough for Master and I to sleep in one room." Then he turned around and said to Su Mu, "Master, your back injury hasn't healed yet. What should I do if the door is not closed tightly at night and is bitten by a poisonous mosquito?"

"But you..." Su Mu wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Wang Qingping again, "Yes, Xiaoyao is right, Brother Su, don't evade any more. Besides, look at Xiaoyao, who is so thin Just like a monkey, what if you catch a cold and catch a cold? Don't you feel sorry for yourself, don't you also feel sorry for Xiaoyao?" He said, bringing Su Guyao up, afraid that Su Mu would shirk again.

Su Mu smiled, a warm current welled up in his heart, how many people can there be in a lifetime, treat you sincerely.So he didn't shirk anymore, and went to Wang Yuanwai's mansion.

Wang Qingping asked someone to clean up a room and ordered someone to make a pot of tea before he sat down and chatted with Su Mu.

"This is the herbal tea I made, it's good for Brother Su's injury, please."

"Thank you."

"Brother Su must know whether he is a real thief or not." Wang Qingping poured tea for Su Mu and said, "Yesterday, my master told me that the baby has disappeared in recent days and people are panicking. It just so happens that it is Su Mu." When brother settled in my village, he didn't hold a wedding banquet to welcome him, I hope brother Su will not blame you."

Wang Qingping's words were very euphemistic, and the implication was that since Su Mu came, the baby began to disappear, and besides, he was jingling poorly next door, how could anyone go to rob him.

Su Mu agreed to stay here temporarily, the main reason was to get closer to the suspect, but he didn't expect that he, the investigator, would become a suspect instead.

He kept his composure and reminded: "The old village head Hua is serious. The outsiders who came to our Yushan village recently are not just for my brother and me. It is impossible for the village head to entertain them one by one."

Sure enough, Wang Qingping was thoughtful when he heard the words, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "I heard Xiaoyao said that the man in black is a woman, I wonder if Brother Su hurt her?"

"Yeah." Su Mu nodded, "I stabbed her shoulder."

Wang Qingping asked again: "What time is it?"

"Children."

"Are you sure?" He exhaled with a look of disbelief.

"What? Do you have a clue?" The answer was ready to come out, Su Mu tightened his hand holding the teacup.

Hearing Wang Qingping say that he smelled blood last night, Su Mu was very nervous. In the past few days, if there were clues, they would be broken. In addition, there were injuries on his body, this news made Su Mu very excited.

Hope this time, it's not just an empty joy.
