Nan Muze quickly followed.
Jing Chun leaned against the door frame quietly, looking like it had nothing to do with him.
There was a well next to the yard. Xiaoqing fetched a large bucket of water, squatted by the well and killed the chicken.
Jing Chun joked, "It's good to have a daughter when you're old. When you're older, your son or daughter will be in their prime, just enough to take care of you."
Old Man Li just lay on the bed and smiled.
However, Xiao Qing complained softly: "I hope he can pick me up earlier and take care of him for a few more years..."
With this sentence, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
She is not Old Man Li’s biological child?
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too awkward, Liu Shengsheng sat on the stone bench next to her and asked, "Want to help?"
"Huh? No, no, no..."
Xiao Qing said very enthusiastically: "You are guests, so you should just sit aside and rest. Why do you need help?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled slightly and said, "Is that old lady just now your neighbor?"
"Yes, she has watched me grow up, and she is like family to me."
Having said this, Xiaoqing smiled bitterly, "After the folks in this village heard that my father and I were sick, they were more afraid than the other, and they all avoided us. Only Grandma Ye did not avoid us. She treated us really well." It’s so good, even though you are all alone, you still give us your own things to eat..."
"Alone? Doesn't she have a family?"
Xiao Qing sighed, "Yes, I heard that Grandma Ye was also a daughter of a wealthy family when she was young, but she fell in love with a frail and sick young man. After only three years of marriage, the young man died of illness, so she I have been a widow for that young master all my life. Now I am old and have no children or grandchildren. Isn’t it just that I am alone?”
Hearing this, Jing Chun, who was leaning at the door, said, "Can there be such a crazy person in the world?"
"There are all kinds of people in this world, and naturally there are people like Granny Ye."
Xiaoqing said a little more seriously.
She brought boiling water and poured it on the chicken. Then she plucked the chicken's feathers and said:
"Ever since I came to this village, Granny Ye has been alone. People in the village don't pay much attention to her, and she doesn't pay much attention to others. She only talks to my father. I strongly believe that Granny Ye used to be the richest lady. , after all, she has lived alone for so long, how could she survive until now if she didn’t have any belongings?”
"It's a pity that good deeds are not rewarded with good deeds. A good person like Granny Ye should be able to live happily with her husband and descendants, and live happily in her old age..."
Just as he was talking, a cough suddenly came from the room, "Ahem, cough, cough, how can you speak so well? Hurry up and cook for the distinguished guests."
Xiao Qing responded: "I'm killing the chicken!"
"Then you should move faster, it's already noon."
Listening to the conversation between father and daughter, Liu Shengsheng turned her attention to Jing Chun.
"Noon? Didn't you say I slept until noon?"
Jing Chun smiled and said, "I was just joking casually. It was just after dawn when you woke up, so I deliberately teased you. You don't even know the time in your little head, right?"
Liu Shengsheng: "..."
It has been raining all day, and it is gloomy during the day, noon, and night. Who can tell the time?
I thought it was getting dark soon, but it turned out to be only noon...
For some reason, seeing Liu Shengsheng like this, Jing Chun found her very cute.
Probably seeing the two of them chatting happily, Nan Muze directly took Liu Shengsheng's hand.
Liu Shengsheng was startled and wanted to pull her hand away, but he held her tighter.
"Take a walk?"
"Can you not leave?"
It's been a whole day...
Nan Muze was silent, "I can carry you."
"Then let's take a walk."
Liu Shengsheng was helpless. She didn't want to be looked at as a monkey by the whole village.
After leaving the yard, Nan Muze said: "The source of the poison is here. Due to both emotional and rational reasons, we should arrest them and investigate."
Liu Shengsheng stopped and said, "But the source of the poison is not here. You just heard them say that they bought the cakes from Dongcheng, so the real source of the poison is most likely in Dongcheng, and they are also victims."
Seeing Liu Shengsheng so serious, Nan Muze looked away.
"That's all, he who doesn't know is not guilty."
"..."
Walking out of the door, Liu Shengsheng saw Granny Ye at a glance.
I saw Granny Ye sitting in a daze at the door opposite.
"Grandma Ye, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Shengsheng walked in front of her.
She raised her head blankly and smiled kindly at Liu Shengsheng, "It's a girl. Girl, sit down..."
Liu Shengsheng slowly squatted down, "No need, I just squat. I just saw a lot of little red spots on the back of your hands. Are you sick too?"
Grandma Ye hid her hands behind her back, "No, girl, you are wrong."
Liu Shengsheng's tone suddenly became serious, "There are blood stains on your lips."
When Grandma Ye heard this, she quickly reached out and wiped it.
Seeing this, Liu Shengsheng finally stood up, "You're coughing up blood, why do you dare to sit outside and enjoy the wind?"
"No..."
Grandma Ye was a little embarrassed.
"I still have medicine here." Liu Shengsheng said slowly.
Grandma Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly, "Little girl, I am sixty-seven years old this year..."
Tears shone in her eyes, "There are many, many sick people. Your medicine should be reserved for those in need. Don't waste it on old people like me."
"I have lots and lots of medicine."
Liu Shengsheng said firmly, took out a pill and stuffed it into Granny Ye's mouth.
Grandma Ye was stunned for a moment, and she quickly spit out the medicine in her mouth.
Liu Shengsheng directly covered her mouth, and after she swallowed it, she patted her back gently.
"Grandma Ye, you don't have to worry. I really have a lot of medicine. It won't be a waste to give it to you."
Granny Ye suddenly stopped talking.
She looked at Liu Shengsheng with bright eyes, her eyes filled with tears.
Liu Shengsheng was a little scared, "No, don't cry, I..."
"Thank you, little girl."
It turned out that she was not to blame. Liu Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just a little effort. Mother-in-law doesn't have to do this."
But this comfort made Granny Ye's tears flow even more fiercely.
Liu Shengsheng didn't know how to comfort the old man, and was at a loss for the moment.
At this moment, a scream came from not far away.
Several people looked back and saw a child hanging on a high tree.
His clothes were hooked on the branches, and he was holding a kite in his hand.
The little boy kept screaming, but the woman under the tree was so anxious that she yelled, "I told you not to climb trees on rainy days, but you just didn't listen. Why are you so naughty?"
While scolding, she stretched out her hands, "Someone, come quickly, help..."
At this moment, the branch that hooked the clothes suddenly broke!
Seeing that the little boy was about to fall to the ground, everyone held their breath in fear. Liu Shengsheng subconsciously went to save him, but saw a figure rising into the air, catching the child first, and then landed firmly on the ground!
It's Nanmu Ze!
