"I am Sumo."

Xu's sister was back, and this time Sumo didn't flinch because of her legs.

He changed his usual dejection and tried to act like a brother.

He looked at Suxiao and said, "Second brother, go and open the door."

The fence was not closed, Suxiao could pull it open by pulling up.

The leading Yamen servant pointed his finger at Qi Shuheng and said, "I'll ask here, and you guys will ask over there too. Remember to be polite."

"Yes."

Four of the six gray-clad cadres left at once.

The government servant wearing black uniforms walked in with the remaining two people.

He looked around, his eyes scanning the people present one by one.

When he saw Su Mu, the pressure on him suddenly lightened.

He also specifically said: "I didn't come here because of your uncle's affairs. I came here because someone in your village reported to the police that someone died here, and the murderer was a spirit running down the mountain.

We suspect that someone is playing tricks. You are saying that your family is the only one living at the foot of the mountain in the nearby villages. "

Speaking of which, the yamen chief paused and subconsciously glanced at the next door.

"They just moved here." Su Mu explained: "Actually, we just moved here not long ago. We are the only two families nearby."

The identity of Qi Shuheng was unknown to the government officials, but when they came over, they were verbally warned by the county captain not to mess with him.

I originally wanted to ask Su Mu about it, but I didn't expect him to be so tight-lipped.

He withdrew his gaze and said, "Think carefully, did you see any strange people running down the mountain after midnight last night?"

Su Sheng didn't answer but asked: "Who died? Who reported it to the official?"

"You live here, hundreds of steps away from the village. It's no wonder you don't know."

The yamen officer frowned slightly and didn't mind Su Sheng's cold face.

"The person who died is your second cousin, Su Ziqing, and the person who reported it to the police is your uncle. The only person with knowledge at the moment may be your third cousin, but he hasn't woken up yet, so we can't get any useful clues from him for the time being. "

"Your grandma said that she saw the murderer with her own eyes before she went to bed. The man was wrapped in strange vines and stood quietly outside the courtyard. Green and red vines were floating on his body. His movements were very strange. According to her words, we guess that the murderer was He didn’t have time to harm anyone, so he accidentally bumped into me and was seen by your grandma.”

He had doubted whether the tragedy would be caused by the separation of the family and the failure to separate the property. After hearing what Grandma Sun said, he gave up the idea.

The officer calmed down and asked again: "Think carefully again, did you see any strange people running down the mountain after midnight last night?"

"I haven't seen that my brothers and sisters have already rested in front of Hai Qian."

Suxiao took a step forward: "After Hai Shi, there was a loud thunder. My third brother and I got up and cleaned up the debris in the courtyard, but we didn't see any strange things during that time."

Several people came out from next door and walked towards the government servant in black, "Boss, I didn't find anything here. The craftsman who built the house left the village before Hai hour. No one of them stayed here last night. They all just came here this morning." of."

The black-clothed yamen officer stared at Su Xiao and the others for a moment, then muttered: "In that case, we won't bother you any more. If you find anything later, remember to report it to the yamen according to the facts. The murderer is probably still in your village. Until the case is solved, if you can, please don't move around at night."

Su Sheng asked: "Is it possible that the evil ghost is really asking for his life?"

"Haha!" The officer laughed loudly, "How can there be any ghosts in this world? It's just someone pretending to be a ghost. Little girl, if you are really scared, lock the door at night and don't let anyone in."

He led the people away.

"How many households are there in Lujia Village?"

"Fewer than Daxing Village, less than 100 households."

The slightest sound of the wind blew away their conversation.

Susheng narrowed her eyes and reflected on whether she was too impulsive last night.

After reflection, she raised her head expressionlessly.

She's not wrong.

Her only regret was that she could not kill Su Zifeng.

……

As soon as the yamen servant left, Su Mu went to the kitchen to get two cakes.

He carried the basket on his back and took Suhong's hand. "Sister, Xiaowu wants to eat mulberries and raspberries. I'll take him to pick some first. You can wash the mushrooms and dry them when you have time later. We'll bring you delicious food when you come back."

"Okay." Su Sheng responded in a clear voice.

She picked up the basket next to her and poured the mushrooms inside into the wooden basin little by little.

Sensing someone's gaze, she paused while washing the mushrooms.

She turned her head and looked at Su Mo. Seeing that he was holding an ink fountain in one hand and a ju in the other, she shifted her gaze to Su Xiao.

By coincidence, the two people's eyes immediately met.

"Brother, you do it first. I'll help my sister wash the mushrooms and then move the wood."

Su Mo didn't even raise his head, his eyes were full of life: "Yeah."

After receiving the response, Suxiao stood up and walked towards Susheng, leaving Sumo to use the plane to plan the surface of the wood.

Since his waist could not move freely, he was obviously very laborious and focused on the planing, so he did not notice the eye contact between the Suxiao brother and sister at all.

"Second brother." Susheng silently moved her buttocks to make way for him.

Her expression didn't change much, and her emotions didn't fluctuate at all, but somehow it made people think she was very well-behaved.

Suxiao couldn't bear to talk to her, so she whispered, "Did you try again last night?"

"Well, just a little bit." Susheng lowered her head to wash the mushrooms and said in a low voice, "I was beaten back by the system."

"Then are you injured?" Suxiao's pupils narrowed slightly, and his gentle tone suddenly took a sharp turn.

The slightly serious tone made Susheng startled: "It's okay, I'm not hurt."

Suxiao looked her up and down, then lowered his eyes for a long time.

He thought for a moment: "When it hit you back, did you see it or the luck on Su Zifeng's body?"

He wanted to know if Su Zifeng's luck had been reduced after the accidents of his two brothers.

"I can't see it, but Su Zifeng's luck must have become thinner, otherwise the system wouldn't be in a hurry to stop me."

If the system hadn't intervened, her blow would definitely have killed Su Zifeng.

Su Sheng raised her head slightly and looked at Su Xiao with her peripheral vision, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Its ability should require the blessing of luck to exert its power, otherwise it would not continue to encourage Su Zifeng to plunder our luck."

Su Xiao restrained his voice and said, "Don't take action these days. They are having troubles one after another. I think we can calm down for a while. Later, the second brother will find a way to reduce his luck. When the time is right, you can take action again." It’s not too late.”

If everything goes well with the plan, my sister may be able to make them suffer without taking action.

"Yeah." Susheng nodded indifferently.

Su Zifeng is on the cusp of the storm right now, and it's really not easy to start.

Besides, given their current situation, they probably don't have time to come here to cause trouble.

She fished in the water but found nothing. Su Sheng lowered her head and saw that all the mushrooms had been washed by Su Xiao.

She raised her head and saw Suxiao's serious look on his face: "Are you tired? Just take a dustpan to dry it and then go and rest. Second brother will go and get busy first."

Susheng: "..."

She turned her head and looked straight at Su Xiao walking past her carrying a long piece of wood.

Seeing the two of them working together to cut the wood, no one paid her any attention. Su Sheng silently went to spread the mushrooms and put them on the big rocks next to them.

Glancing at Su Mo and the other two people calmly, she walked to the side and picked up the hoe.

"Sister, come and sit for a while."

Thinking that her eldest brother wanted to chat, Susheng put down her hoe and sat next to him obediently.

She sat here all morning and did nothing. Her ears were filled with some interesting things that Su Mo and Su Xiao took the initiative to chat with her while working.

The sun shone on her body, warm and bright.

The warm atmosphere was not broken until Su Zian came over and threw stones. (End of chapter)
