As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 143
After the crowd came out, they drove the horses and other things to the backyard of a teahouse, paid some management fees, and planned to see if they could find anything in this town.

A group of people walked together in twos and threes.

Ji Xuan, Fang Wu, Qin Sihan, and Bai An all the way, Tan Sihan was pushed by Eunuch Bai.

Zhang Xuan, Bai Xi, and Ye Zhuqing were left behind, as well as a few painters. As for Zhou She, he was looking for a place to live.

The rain didn't stop for a long time, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth.Therefore, I decided to live near here, otherwise I would spend all my time on the road.Where is the energy to solve the case?

The road Tan Sihan walked left a shallow layer of wheel marks, and Fang Wu followed him, looking left and right, and she always felt that there was a trace of sadness in his brows and eyes, which was different from Ji Xuan's desertedness and laziness.

"There are footprints over there, but there is some shallow water, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk." Fang Wu said.

Ji Xuan also looked over, there was a narrow path between the yellow and green vegetation, barely enough for two people to walk side by side.

But at first glance, it is muddy land, and it is still raining, so there is no easy way to walk.

"Let's go, I'm here to investigate the case and watch the excitement, not to put on airs. I don't even have a waiter, who will I show it to?"

Tan Sihan smiled, not because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him.

He broke free from Baishi, turned the wheelchair and went up that road.

Baishi trotted two steps to follow, pushed firmly and said: "My lord, this servant is waiting for you."

Tan Sihan let go of his hands, and just put his hands in the air without speaking, and looked ahead with his eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Wu and Ji Xuan also followed.

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere is weird." Fang Wu whispered.

"Look at Young Master, then at Master Bai, it looks like the Yellow River is separated." Ji Xuan pressed even lower.

As he spoke, he looked at both sides of the road. For some reason, he always felt that someone was staring at them.

It's just that he only had a feeling, he couldn't see anyone, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, so he didn't say anything.

Fang Wu looked back and forth, as if he understood something.

She fell behind, squatted down, broke off half of the corn, was stunned, picked it up and handed it to Bai Xi, saying: "Is this cut or broken?"

Bai Xi looked at it and said, "Mu Qing."

He threw it to Muqing.

"It doesn't look like it was broken." When he threw it over, he also followed.This is the side of the road, and the corn in autumn is not considered good. Farmers, why would they break off half of the corn when passing by?Don't you want to take it all out?
"It was cut off. The knife is very fast, it should be a person who often uses the knife." Mu Qing said lightly.Fang Wu heard the voice and turned to look over. The man lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he was groping carefully on the corn with one hand.

She asked: "Master Bai, why don't you go to the front?"

"I'm full of moisture, so it's easy for our master, besides, isn't there someone to wait on?" Bai Xi didn't care, took the corn and shook it, "Tell me, who cut it?"

Fang Wu shook his head, it's really hard to say.

common people?official?Anyone can do it.A half of corn means nothing.

Ji Xuan also took it and looked at it, but the three of them didn't see anything.

"No, master, this corn is unusual."

Hearing they were talking about corn, Bai An turned his head to look at it, stood still, and said to Ji Xuan.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Bai An, his face turned red, and he couldn't say anything: "At this time, the corn is picked from the field, it should be old, dried, and used for grinding The one with cornmeal, but this one is still tender, look." As he spoke, Bai An crushed a corn kernel with his fingertips, and the juice inside immediately splashed.

Zhang Xuan also came over, nodded and said, "That's the truth."

When he was in Xuefu County, because of his size and strength, Bai An often helped the people in the county with farm work, so he naturally understood this truth. As for Zhang Xuan, he was a miscellaneous student and knew a lot more.

But Bai Xi, Fang Wu, and Ji Xuan are not. The former eat first-class food, while the latter two don’t do farm work. They usually eat what they sell and eat outside, so it’s normal not to know. .

"Then..." Several people stopped and even turned back.

This piece of land is lonely, and the crops on it are not good, and there are not many corns, but it is not the only one that does not dry stir-fry.

"Is it a problem with this place?" Tan Sihan asked.

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's just that this piece of land is not suitable for planting. Those with a lot of land will be despised, and those with little land will be rare."

There is a cycle for all things to grow, and they will naturally grow old after a long time, but this is the right time.

What does that mean?Either it was planted late, or it was something different from those.

Tan Sihan turned to look at several painters: "Who owns this land?" They have government records in their hands, and it is recorded who owns the cultivated land in this entire Yancheng town.

One of the painters looked around and immediately rummaged around.

After a while of salsa's flipping the book, I heard a hoarse voice, and he pointed to a farmyard not far away: "Zhang Wei. This is it."

People look over.

A single family, maybe it is dusk, and you can see the smoke from the kitchen.

Several people carefully crossed the farmland and came to the door.

"Bang bang bang." Eunuch Bai stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Only footsteps could be heard inside, not shouts.

Several people looked at each other and felt strange.

Fang Wu also went up and knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone there?" A soft female voice broke the peace in the mountain, but filled the people with joy.

However, there was still no answer, only the door was pushed open a small crack, and a pair of eyes peeped inside.

"kid?"

Fang Wu said with a smile.Those eyes only reached her waist, so she knelt down and said.

"Mother, it's the government office." The child didn't open the door, but instead closed the door, leaned against the door, and shouted inside.

"Go back, everyone. We don't sell land." Soon.A female voice came out, very strong, with a trace of disgust.

Several people were stunned.They didn't say anything, so how could they just say that they want to buy land, so they are not afraid of being wrong?
Ji Xuan, Ye Zhuqing and others were wearing official robes, but some of them also wore ordinary clothes.How could it be suspected like this.Not even a door was opened.

"Ma'am, I'm not buying land, I'm begging for saliva." Tan Sihan said.

"I'm not in good health. It's raining and I'm catching a cold. If I want to ask for hot water, I'm just passing by. These are all following me." Tan Sihan said again.

He believed that the child saw him in a wheelchair, so he opened his mouth.

Bai Xi took two steps forward, holding the knife handle with one hand, looking at the wooden door with his eyes, as if he was ready to break in at any moment.

"Come in." A little woman opened the door and looked at them.

Looking in from the outside, there are three houses inside, which seem to be built by themselves, without any specifications, and some vegetables are still planted in the yard, leaving only a small space for walking.

A woman stood in front of several people. She was wearing coarse clothes. She had a petite figure with a big belly and one hand on her waist. She moved slowly, but she looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

At the same time, two men stepped out of a room.They were about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in tatters, with fierce eyes, as if they were going to copy someone at any time.
