Song Jiang and others did not expect that the grass hag they had worked so hard to find turned out to be a blind and deaf old lady. Let alone a poison, it was already very difficult to take care of themselves... because the poison was a sloppy matter. No, one wrong step could harm others or yourself, and the old lady was deaf and frightened. If she accidentally fell on one of her family members, she would lose more than she gained. So Gu Hao was basically sure that the poison on Zhao Shiyan would not be... This black mother-in-law did it.
But the old lady obviously knew something, but she didn't want to say anything more, so Song Jiang quickly said to Gu Hao, "It seems that there should be other witches in this village. It must be Zhao Shiyan who didn't get along with her." Let’s tell the truth!”
In desperation, Gu Hao had no choice but to wink at Song Jiang and ask him to go out and ask Ma Cheng and Liu Dong who were waiting outside. They were Zhao Shiyan's younger brothers. They were the ones who followed Zhao Shiyan up and down all the time. I am sure I can know some of the little-known secrets of people named Zhao...
Of course, Song Jiang did not directly ask them if they knew if his eldest brother had any shady secrets. Instead, he used a roundabout strategy and asked tactfully, "By the way, you two were with Mr. Zhao back then." At that time, have you ever seen which villager he had more contact with, whether it was good contact or bad contact..."
Ma Cheng was the more honest of the two. After hearing this, he said without hesitation, "That must be the village chief Uncle Mo's house. In order to bribe this old man, the eldest brother took the two of us to his house frequently. We still didn't have anything. After all, I gave you cash twice."
When Liu Dong saw this, he immediately signaled to Ma Cheng not to say anything. Song Jiang smiled and said, "Two brothers... you see, we are here to help Mr. Zhao find out the cause of the disease this time. Your work matters have nothing to do with us." It has nothing to do with it, and our job is to find the person who bewitched Mr. Zhao, so no matter what, we are all on the same team, don’t you think so?"
After hearing this, Liu Dong rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Xiao Song, we all understand what you mean...but some words really shouldn't come out of our mouths, otherwise our elder brother will know about it in the future. What if he blames us?" What to do?"
Song Jiang smiled as soon as he heard this, "I also understand your difficulties...and there are indeed some things that Mr. Zhao should speak for himself, but you may not know his current situation very well. It's not even possible to describe it as terminally ill." Excuse me, he is so tired and out of breath when he says a word now, how can we get him to explain the situation to us in detail? This is why I asked you to come over to help, because it has always been the case before The two of you are following him, and you are very familiar with his situation. And there are some things that you don’t need to avoid us at all, otherwise it will be troublesome if it really delays Mr. Zhao’s illness. In fact, there is a saying that I shouldn’t talk to You said it, but it’s already here, and I have to tell you the truth in advance. If Mr. Zhao’s illness is not completely resolved within a month, he will probably be able to survive until the end of the year at most.”
After Song Jiang's deception, Ma Cheng and Liu Dong quickly compromised. According to the two of them, if Zhao Shiyan had the most contact with any family in the village, it would definitely be the village chief, Uncle Mo. Because it was not easy for them to go up the mountain, they had to stay for a few days each time they came up. They had to finish doing most of the things they had to do before going down. During this period, they had been living in Uncle Mo's house.
Furthermore, they don’t know the villagers well, so it’s definitely not feasible to rashly say that they want to buy the land where their ancestors have lived for generations. As a “villager” who often goes down the mountain and has seen the world, the village leader, Uncle Mo, can just do it. Helping the company to understand the villagers' ideological work, and in return, Zhao Shiyan will naturally give him some benefits...
When Song Jiang heard this, he thought it was wrong. Didn't Zhao Shiyan say last time that the village chief was also afraid of entering Granny Hei's house? Then how could he be the one who cast the poison? Thinking of this, Song Jiang casually asked, "Who else is in Uncle Mo's family?"
Liu Dong thought for a while and said, "He has his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter..."
"Uncle Mo doesn't have a wife?" Song Jiang asked curiously.
Ma Chengdao said, "I heard that Uncle Mo's wife died early, and he raised his son alone..."
Song Jiang nodded after hearing this and said, "That's really not easy. Let's do this. You take me to Uncle Mo's old house to take a look before we talk!"
At this time, Gu Hao and Meng Zhe just walked out. Seeing this, Song Jiang looked at Gu Hao to see if he had asked anything from Granny Hei. However, he saw Gu Hao shaking his head helplessly. It seems that this old lady's mouth is really not that strict. She won't say anything if she doesn't say it...
Then a few of them went to the old house of the village chief's house. To say that the village chief is the village chief, the house was indeed much more arrogant than other houses in the village. It should be the largest stilted building in the village, although it has been for a long time. No one has taken care of it, but it still doesn't look too dilapidated from the outside.
Knowing that there must be no one in the house, a group of them opened the door and walked in. The valuable furniture in the house had long been emptied, and what was left were some broken baskets and pots that had been damaged. A few people walked in Inside, there will occasionally be one or two scorpions jumping out from the corners to scare people.
Song Jiang has been afraid of these things since he was a child. When he saw it, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body. "There are scorpions in this house, so no one will keep gu, right?"
Gu Hao didn't say anything after hearing this, but quickly went to the second floor and checked every room above very carefully... Because no one had lived in it for a long time, the room was full of dust and leaves, so it was ugly. I don’t know if the previous owner of these rooms liked cleanliness, but compared to downstairs, there are indeed no bugs or anything like that upstairs.
When Song Jiang saw Gu Hao coming down from upstairs, he asked, "How is it going? Are there any clues upstairs?"
Gu Hao shook his head and said, "I can't tell yet... but it feels a bit suspicious."
Song Jiang was surprised and asked, "Is there anything suspicious?"
After hearing this, Gu Hao said in a deep voice, "It stands to reason that there cannot be two grass hags in a village. This principle is similar to the fact that there is no room for two tigers in a mountain. So since there is already a grass hag like Black Granny here, how can there be another one?" Where is the Gu farmer?! Doesn’t this make sense?”
Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "Does the person who raises Gu have to be a woman?"
"That's not necessarily true, but it is true that the majority are women..." Gu Hao said.
