Chapter 71: The White Bones Are in the Sun (13)

"Dumb girl?" Zhong Chu was stunned and asked casually: "Is there any obstacle in speaking, or is it completely impossible to speak?"

"Hey, it's a long story, mute..." The woman had just started, and suddenly remembered that there was still a fire on the stove, so she ended the topic in a few words: "A mute girl has nothing to say. You two drink water first, I'll go cook quickly."

The woman took a few fresh vegetables from the vegetable rack and hurried back to the house.

Song Dabao came over and whispered, "Miss Zhong, do you think there is something wrong with the mute girl? If you are worried, I will go to Xiawanzi to inquire."

"I don't know if there is any problem, but when I met it, I wanted to ask a few more questions. Now we can't even determine the identity of the white bones, let alone the murderer? Just look for a needle in a haystack. Try your luck. Maybe the blind cat can catch a dead mouse?" Zhong Chu took a sip of water and whispered.

Song Dabao also sighed: "Yes, if you can determine who the deceased is, then you will always gain something to investigate the relatives and friends of the deceased."

"Don't worry, it's a matter of time sooner or later."

"Um."

The two were talking in fragments, but the man from this family came back with a hoe. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Damn, hurry up and cook. Something big has happened. I have to go to the ancestral temple at noon!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two people sitting by the stone table in the yard, and immediately became alert, "You are..."

The man has a simple face and looks honest.

Song Dabao hurriedly got up and clasped his fists, "Brother is polite! My sister and I pass by here, hungry and thirsty, so we come to ask for some food and bother our elder brother and sister-in-law!"

Zhong Chu was a girl, so it was not convenient to talk to strangers to avoid arousing doubts, so he just owed his body to show etiquette.

"Oh, it's okay, sit down. But the food in the farm is not as good as the city, it's enough to fill in food and clothing. It's better if you don't dislike it." The man said straightforwardly.

Song Dabao replied: "We are so grateful to you if you have a full meal."

At this time, the woman ran out with a spatula and asked anxiously: "What happened to her father? Why are you going to the ancestral temple for a good job?"

"There is a murder case!" The man put down his hoe and washed his face while fetching water and washing his face, "Do you remember the abandoned well on the other side of the river? The official dug a white bone from it this morning!"

The woman was shocked, "Ah? Has anyone died in the well?"

The man told the woman, "That's right? She died in the well for several years before she was discovered. Alas, the official will ask questions in the ancestral temple later. Don't talk nonsense, you woman, you may have to sue if you do something!"

"Okay." The woman agreed and then curiously said, "Who is the dead man? Is it a man or a woman?"

The man sighed: "The female ghost is in a cemetery, probably a woman will die."

"It's really unpredictable." The woman sighed, as if she thought of something else, and said, "The poor embroiderer has not had any news for several years, and I don't know how she is..."

Hearing the man suddenly became angry: "Why do you mention that kind of unruly woman? If you don't run away with the man, the clan will definitely let her soak in the pig cage! No matter how much you talk, you will be careful to pass it to the old patriarch, so that you can't eat it!"

"I, I just suddenly remembered... I won't say it." The woman muttered in fear, and hurried back to continue cooking.
