Chapter 72: The White Bones Are in the Sun (14)

Seeing this, Song Dabao and Zhong Chu winked each other. Zhong Chu picked up the cold pot and poured a bowl of water. Song Dabao brought it to the man. At the same time, he stuffed a ingot of silver into the man's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, it's not easy to farm. We brothers and sisters have some feelings. Brothers must not refuse!"

"Yes, my sister-in-law is not attentive. Brother, please be less angry for the sake of the two of us outsiders!" Zhong Chu then spoke, trying to remove the man's defense.

There is money to collect and beautiful girls to plead for peace. The man easily stopped his temper and started chatting with the two of them.

After Song Dabao talked about where he came from, what kind of business he did, where he was in his hometown, and where his parents were, Zhong Chu led the topic step by step to the mute girl without any trace, "Brother, how could the embroiderer's daughter be a mute?"

"That girl was originally good at talking, but since her mother ran away with the wild man, she gradually became mute." The man said casually.

Zhong Chu looked surprised, "Who did the embroiderer run away with? Are they from Daijiazhuang?"

"I don't know where, I heard that he is a peddler who travels all over the streets." The man drank a sip of water and was indignant: "Even if the mute girl's father didn't pass the imperial examination, he was also a scholar, and he actually..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and said with shame to outsiders, waved his hand and said, "It is better not to say such embarrassing things to avoid causing trouble."

Zhong Chu said anxiously: "Brother, I like to listen to stories the most, but I guarantee that I am not a silly person and will not pass on messages everywhere. Just say to me!"

She was beautiful, with big, watery eyes, looking at the man pitifully. No matter how hard the man is, there are many taboos that cannot be said, and he was thrown out of the sky. "We are Daijiazhuang, there are fewer scholars, and even fewer people can get fame in recent years. The mute girl's father Dai Jinglan has been studying for more than ten years and has taken the provincial exam twice, but he still failed. So he drank alcohol to drown his sorrows. After drinking, he fell off the cliff and saved his life. However, he fell unconsciously and became a half-crazy and half-stupid person."

"What then?" Zhong Chu said anxiously, the climax of the story was about to come, and her heart couldn't help but raise it to her throat.

The man sighed: "Then the embroidered lady of the Dai Jinglan's wife, the embroiderer, cruelly abandoned her sick husband and young daughter and eloped with the merchandiser. In this blink of an eye, it has been four or five years."

Hearing the familiar time, Song Dabao and Zhong Chu shouted in unison: "Four and Five Years!"

At this moment, the woman came out with a plate of rice and shouted, "It's time to eat!"

The man immediately greeted them for dinner and did not mention any other things.

The two of them originally wanted to ask about Wuming Baibo again, but it was not appropriate to mention the dead at the dinner table, and they asked too many questions, which made the other party suspicious, so they stopped and waited for another good solution.

After dinner, the couple had to go to the ancestral temple to ask for information. After saying goodbye, they went to Xiawanzi.

From a distance, I heard the sound of chopping wood, mixed with the barking of dogs. I remembered the puppy that the woman said, and the two of them immediately looked over and saw a dilapidated yard in a dilapidated yard, squatting in the corner of the yard, swinging a heavy axe, slashing wood with difficulty.

She was young and skinny, and this looked really distressing.
