Travel to ancient times to be a fast catcher

Chapter 11 The buyer was murdered (1)

  There is a lot of work waiting to be done at home, and it is impossible to rest. Chu Xiaoyun twisted the rice, noodles, oil and salt back into the kitchen, only to find that the kitchen has also changed a lot, everywhere is clean and spotless, and left in the morning There was no trace of the previous dirty and messy appearance.

Chu Xiaoyun walked around the house, and found that Su Wen had cleaned up the rest of the house except for the firewood room and the sundry room. The most obvious change is in the bedroom. The appearance of rummaging through boxes and cabinets has completely disappeared. All the cabinets have been wiped clean, and the clean clothes have been folded and placed neatly in the closet. where to go. There is also a clay pot on the table with drawers by the window, and a handful of wild flowers picked from nowhere are inserted in it, which adds a bit of warmth to the bedroom. This scene made Chu Xiaoyun uncontrollably think of a story he heard when he was a child: the snail girl.

Chu Xiaoyun walked around the house and went back to the utility room to get a hoe. Seeing him digging the ground, Wang Sanqiang hurried to the utility room to get a hoe and followed to dig the ground.

At noon, Wang Sanqiang ate at Chu Xiaoyun's house, and Wang Sanqiang sighed again and again: "I didn't expect to have food at noon." There was still

some porridge left in the pot, and Chu Xiaoyun filled the porridge and handed it to Wang Sanqiang: "Take it back You give it to mother."

Wang Sanqiang took it and put it back on the table: "Thank you brother."

Chu Xiaoyun was very surprised: "Why didn't you bring it to Aunt Wang?"

Wang Sanqiang was surprised: "What are you eating at noon, and you can bring it back at night. Brother , I'll dig the soil for you."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "If possible, I still want to eat. Bring the porridge to your mother first, and then you can help me."

Wang Sanqiang had to take the porridge back first.

In the afternoon, Chu Yunxiao and Wang Sanqiang turned over the rest of the land and sowed seeds. Chu Xiaoyun went to the river and moved a few big stones back to the wellhead for a small protection.

Su Wen washed all the clothes and quilts that needed to be washed at home, and hung them to dry on the bamboo poles in the yard. Occasionally, Chu Xiaoyun looked up and saw Su Wen's busy figure and the clothes flying in the yard, and he had a faint thought in his heart that such a life would be good, so he worked harder to save him. He finished digging the ground before Su Wen finished washing his clothes, sowed the seeds, and cleaned up the utility room and firewood room.

Chu Xiaoyun has finished all the work that he can do with his strength, and the rest will cost money, so there is no rush. To live, to support Su Wen, and to pay off the debts, he had to work hard to earn money.

Before going to bed at night, Chu Xiaoyun took out the remaining copper coins and counted them, and there were still nineteen coins left. He left five coins, and handed the remaining fourteen coins to Su Wen: "You take this money, it's convenient if you need it at hand."

Even with part of the memory of the original owner, Chu Xiaoyun still doesn't know clearly, as Shuang'er, do you need some private items belonging to Shuang'er like girls, so leaving some money for Su Wen is the best way. Chu Xiaoyun had already prepared Su Wen's persuasive words to reject him, but Su Wen did not develop as usual, saying something like "I don't want your money", but gave Chu Xiaoyun a serious look , took the dozen or so copper plates and carefully stored them in his small wooden box.

Seeing the small wooden box, Chu Xiaoyun asked curiously: "What's in your box?"

Su Wen lifted the lid of the small wooden box and showed it to Chu Xiaoyun: "It's a tool for making rouge, gouache, and spices, my mother Leave it to me."

Chu Xiaoyun stretched his head over to look, it was a small set of utensils, and there were a few books inside.

Chu Xiaoyun asked: "Can you also make rouge and gouache?"

Su Wen said: "A little bit, but unfortunately my parents passed away when I was nine years old, so I only learned a little bit."

Chu Xiaoyun just learned from Su Wen that Su Wen's mother's family is very good at making rouge and gouache, and his mother is especially a master of it. When his parents were alive, his life was rich and beautiful. After the mother gave birth to his twin sons, she couldn't have any more children, and the father didn't dislike her mother for remarrying to continue the incense or something. The two were very affectionate.

Once, my father and mother went to the mountains to search for new raw materials for making spices, but they both fell off the cliff and died. Later, his uncle and aunt adopted him and took away all his parents' property.

So it is no wonder that the courtyard of Uncle Su Wen's house looks so grand, and the shafts are so well built. It turns out that they are all the blood and sweat left by the younger brother and sister-in-law. But they accepted the property left by Su Wen's parents, but they were not kind to Su Wen, and sold Su Wen to the original owner for child adoption the next year. What a crime.

Chu Xiaoyun saw that the set of tools seemed to have been used recently, and asked again: "Do you like to make rouge and gouache?"

Su Wen nodded, then shook his head: "There is no such condition now. After the death of my parents, I secretly I did it a few times, and then my aunt found out..."

Su Wen didn't continue talking, and Chu Xiaoyun could guess what happened. He comforted: "There will be such a condition. When I find a job and earn money, I will definitely support you to continue doing what you like."

Su Wen smiled shyly. That smile is from the inside out, from the heart.

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the books in the box: "May I read your books?"

Su Wen took out the books and handed them to Chu Xiaoyun, Chu Xiaoyun took them over and flipped through them a few times: "What's wrong with this book?" Is it handwritten? But the handwriting is quite good."

"This basic book is written by my mother, recording her method, process and shortcomings of making rouge, gouache, and spices." Su Wen expressed doubts.

No wonder it is full of feelings about rouge making.

"Are you literate?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"I know a few, but not many."

It can be seen that Su Wen's parents love him very much, so this answer is expected. Both parents must have taught him to read and write. After the death of his parents, this condition disappeared, and the learning process naturally came to an end.

"If you want to learn, we will learn again when we have a chance. You can definitely be as good as your mother, make the best rouge and gouache, and write down your own unique production method." Chu Xiaoyun encouraged.

Su Wen smiled shyly again. It took a long time before he said shyly: "Actually, you're pretty good, why did they call you that?"

Chu Xiaoyun said "ah", knowing that Su Wen was referring to the nickname of the original owner "Chu Yan Wang", and covered it up: " Maybe it's just your illusion."

Su Wen smiled and looked at him with a serious expression, as if he was planning some words of advice. Chu Xiaoyun didn't know if he was frightening people, and smiled again: "I lied to you. I used to be an asshole, and I will be like this in the future."

Su Wen smiled gently again.

Sleeping at night was still the same as the night before. Chu Xiaoyun lay on the quilt on the cabinet and said to Su Wen: "Tomorrow I will go to the city to find a job, and you will be at home. If there is anything, go to the village in front and go In the past, the third family looked for Wang Sanqiang."

Wang Sanqiang's old lady is not in particularly bad health these days, and it is not suitable for running outside all day, so she can't follow her to find a job. But Chu Xiaoyun felt that this was just right, at least he could come over and take a look at it from time to time at home.

The candle lights went on and off, and the hard-working two soon fell asleep. In the middle of the night, a rapid knock on the door accompanied by shouts woke up the two people who were sleeping. The two woke up with a start and saw that the outside of the house was brightly lit by torches.

The detective's intuition made Chu Xiaoyun feel that something was wrong. He signaled Su Wen to keep silent, picked up a pole from the corner, approached the door lightly, and asked cautiously, "Who?" The knocking on the door stopped

. After a while, it gradually quieted down, and a male voice said loudly: "The county government arrester, open the door!"

Chu Xiaoyun was very surprised, what the county government arrester is doing here. He peeked out through the crack of the door, and it was indeed a policeman in uniform. Although I don't know why the county government officer came to knock on his door in the middle of the night, since he is a government employee, of course he has to open the door.

Chu Xiaoyun opened the door and asked, "It's the middle of the night, I don't know what the messengers are talking about?"

The knowledge learned from watching costume dramas in the past will come in handy in this era.

"Are you Chu Xiaoyun?" the head catcher asked.

"Yes." Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled, what did he do? In my memory, the original owner didn't seem to have committed any crimes recently, and didn't commit any crimes.

"Take it away!" The head catcher waved his hand, and a group of catchers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, restrained Chu Xiaoyun, and tied him up with ropes.

Su Wen, who was originally sitting on the bed, saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and stumbled out to follow.

Chu Xiaoyun himself worked as a criminal police officer in his previous life. He knew that no matter whether there was a misunderstanding or not, it would be fruitless to confront the police, let alone this ancient society where the government made whatever it said and there was no public opinion to speak of.

He quickly calmed down, let the arresters treat him rudely and tied him up, and hurriedly said to Su Wen: "Su Wen, don't come here. It's right there, don't move."

Seeing that Su Wen stopped obediently, he said respectfully to the leader of the head catcher: "This servant, may I ask what I have committed? Everyone wants to arrest me, so that I can understand in my heart. Whether it is What's the problem, I, Chu Xiaoyun, will never resist. It's just that I really don't understand, is there any misunderstanding?"

Chu Xiaoyun has a notorious reputation, and the police who came to arrest them thought that there was a bad battle to be fought, but they didn't expect This Chu Xiaoyun let them tie him up without any resistance, and even asked questions in a polite manner.

The head catcher looked Chu Xiaoyun up and down, and then looked at Su Wen who was standing under the eaves not far away, frightened like a quail.

That little Shuang'er was trembling all over, and seemed to be terribly frightened, but he still followed out. It was unexpected that the King of Hell of Chu could be so attentive to him. It's no wonder that King Chu Yan had to break the contract and redeem him when he made such a big fuss.

But the method of wanting people without money is a bit stupid.

The head catcher looked at Chu Xiaoyun and then at Su Wen. Seeing this, with that little Shuang'er around, the King of Hell of Chu would not dare to do anything wrong. The tight string of the head catcher relaxed a little, and his mouth relaxed a little: "What did you do? I don't understand? If you don't have money, don't gamble. If you lose the bet, you will admit defeat. If you have no money and want a wife, how can there be such a thing in this world?" What about such a good thing?"

Chu Xiaoyun was baffled by the arrest of the head, but he was sure of one thing: "Master, you must have misunderstood. The money that is not enough to redeem people, I used two acres of land Mortgage."

The headhunter patted Chu Xiaoyun's face: "Yes, you mortgaged two acres of land back. But you turned around and killed the buyer, and snatched back the money you paid You exchanged two acres of land for a beautiful little daughter-in-law, and another twenty-eight taels of silver, which is really a good deal. But the sky net is not leaking, and killing people pays for their lives. This has been the case throughout the ages. I can't enjoy it anymore."

Only then did Chu Xiaoyun understand, like a thunderbolt: "You mean, the buyer, Mr. Zhang, was killed?"
