Chapter 9

Mu Li took a small basket and went to a stone pier and sat down, then called them over.

Several children swarmed around again.

Rural kids don't care much, everything can be used as a stool, and the three children sat down in front of Mu Li as if they had made an appointment, spreading out in a fan shape.

Seeing that little Mu Xuan was also sitting there, Mu Li just smiled and didn't say anything.

Mu Qing found a small stone pier and placed it next to Mu Li, lifted the hem of her clothes, and sat down.

Mu Li took out small dried fish from the small basket, and each person divided two first, and when Xiao Muxuan was divided, Xiao Muxuan's eyes lit up, looking at Mu Li with full expectation, Mu Li couldn't stop laughing.

This guy has already eaten a lot of dried fish at home, and he still hasn't eaten enough.

Mu Li also gave him two.

"too delicious!"

"It's simply delicious."

"I have never eaten such a delicious thing in my life."

"My mother has fried small dried fish before, but it can't be compared with this."

Hearing the former little friends praise the deliciousness of the dried fish, Mu Xuan was extremely proud, and he said arrogantly: "That's natural, my sister's cooking skills are the best in our village. "

"No, I can't find anyone who cooks better than my sister in ten miles and eight villages; the dried fish she fried is of course delicious."

Xiao Muxuan's words aroused the admiration and envy of his friends. If only they had a sister who could cook like this, it would make Xiao Muxuan even more proud. The dry tail is sent to the mouth.

His hand was suddenly grabbed.

Xiao Muxuan looked puzzled at the "culprit" who prevented him from enjoying the food, and Mu Li smiled and said, "Send some to Da Lang first, and you can eat it later."

Xiao Muxuan said "ah", "I dare say this is not for me."

Mu Li laughed angrily and said: "You still don't eat much at home, go quickly; otherwise you won't have your share later."

Da Lang had already smelled the scent of dried fish, and seeing the other three little friends enjoying it contentedly, Da Lang felt as if someone was tickling him, wishing he could rush up and grab the little basket right now.

Now hearing that Mu Li said that he was involved, Da Lang was very happy in his heart, but he still acted unmoved and unaffected on the surface. He thought he was faking it well, but he didn't know that the corners of his lips were raised and the corners of his lips were raised. The end of his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment.

The moment the dried fish entered the mouth, Da Lang instantly felt countless fireworks going off in his head.

Here, Mu Li has already started to ask the kids questions.

Gua Wa scratched her head, with a troubled look on her face, and Gou Dan looked blank, the two looked at each other, Gou Dan touched the back of her head and said, "Sister Ah Li, I went to pee with Gua Wa When we went, Xuanzi was still playing in the yard, and when he finished urinating, Xuanzi was still playing in the yard, I don’t know if he went to Aunt Meng’s main room, and I don’t know if Xuanzi went to her bedroom.”

Guwa looked serious, then looked at Gouwa, and said, "Did you see that? When I peed with Goudan, you, Dalang, Ertou, and Xuanzi were the only ones in the yard."

Gouwa swept around the crowd, and stayed on Mu Xuan for a few seconds, finally looked at Mu Li, and began to recall the scene at that time, saying: "At that time, Xuanzi said that he was thirsty, and Ertou said that there is herbal tea in the main room, let him I drank it by myself, and then I saw Xuanzi enter the main room, at this moment my stomach suddenly hurt so much, I hurried to the toilet, I don't know if he entered the second lady's bedroom behind him."

Speaking of the latter, Gouwa's voice lowered a lot.

Mu Xuan said seriously: "I didn't go to Aunt Meng's bedroom, I hurried out after drinking the herbal tea, Da Lang was always there, he knew it."

Everyone looked at Da Lang in unison.

Da Lang had been paying attention to their conversation just now, but now he suddenly heard his name and subconsciously looked at them.

Gouwa's mind turned quickly, when he heard Mu Xuan say this, and then recalled the scene when Da Lang swore to identify Mu Xuan as the thief last night, he immediately understood.

There must be someone lying between Mu Xuan and Da Lang.

Gou Wa couldn't figure out who was lying.

After thinking about it, he felt that both of them had no reason to lie.

Gouwa scratched the back of his head in distress again.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Da Lang felt uncomfortable. At this moment, he no longer had the certainty and confidence of yesterday.

Thinking of last night when his mother took off his pants and beat him severely, Da Lang couldn't help touching his poor butt.

It still hurts now.

If Muli and the others knew that he had framed Xuanzi for stealing something for a little food, would they beat him to death?

Xuanzi's brother seemed to have a good temper, but when he got angry, he must be very difficult to provoke.

With his small arms and legs, how can he be his opponent?
No, in order to save his life, he must not tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Da Lang tightened his mouth, drooped his head, and said nothing.

Mu Li saw his hesitation, and also saw his concerns, and decided that Da Lang was an insider, even a very important witness.

"Dalang, if you are willing to tell the truth, I will give you all the dried fish in my place."

Mu Li expected that Da Lang would take the bait.

How can a five-year-old child resist the temptation of delicious food?

Dried small fish is also a rare item. Although a lot can be caught in the river, adults find it troublesome. Who would do this if it’s okay, so the children in the village seldom eat small dried fish.

Coupled with the blessing of Muli's superb cooking skills, the delicacy of the dried fish is even more added.

Not to mention that five-year-old children can't resist, even adults can't resist.

Sure enough, when he heard that all the dried fish in this small basket was for him to eat, Da Lang was shaken.

He said, "You can't hit me yet."

Mu Li was startled, then smiled and promised, "Don't worry, we don't beat children."

Da Lang looked at Mu Qing again, as if waiting for his assurance.

"We don't hit people, don't worry."

With Mu Qing's guarantee, Da Lang finally felt relieved.

Mu Xuan and the others moved their buttocks to make room for Da Lang. After hesitating for a while, Da Lang sat cross-legged among them. The ins and outs of the second talk were also explained.

It turned out to be like this.

Once, by accident, Er Tou found an old ring in Meng's cabinet, and he was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

In this Ping'an village where there is just enough to eat, the big guys are very pragmatic, and they will not spend money on items that have no practical function, such as gold and silver jewelry, let alone buy them with money.

Er Tou has never seen this thing since he was a child, he only thought it was very novel, and saw his mother put this thing in the bottom of the box, and ordinary people couldn't find it, so he decided that this thing was a rare thing.

Ertou made up his mind to show this thing to his friends and show it off in front of them, so he secretly took out the ring behind his mother's back.

Yesterday, I planned to show it to the big guys, but I never thought, but the ring was lost by the second head, and I couldn't find it no matter how I looked for it. The second head was anxious and frightened, while playing with them absent-mindedly. game.

It just so happened that Mu Xuan was thirsty at this time, Gouwa and the three of them were peeing, peeing, shitting, and Dalang was alone, and the two were afraid that his mother would get beaten after knowing that he had lost the ring, so they had a crooked brain ——

Decided to blame Mu Xuan!
But Er Tou was afraid that Dalang would not help him. Knowing that Dalang was greedy and had no resistance to food, he ran to the kitchen and took out two hard-boiled eggs, and decided to bribe Dalang with two eggs.

This egg was saved by him yesterday because he was reluctant to eat it, and now he can only give it to Da Lang cheaply.

Dalang got the eggs, and he really listened to Ertou's words.

In the evening, as soon as Meng came back from the field, Er Tou took the initiative and told Meng about the loss of the ring. Meng searched the box, but did not find the ring.

He led the two heads to Muli's house angrily.

So there was the matter of Dalang later confidently identifying Mu Xuan as a thief.

Mu Xuan stood up abruptly, pointed at Da Lang's nose and said, "Da Lang, how could you do such a thing for two eggs?"

"What's the difference between you and a murderer?"

Da Lang said unconvinced: "Where did I kill someone? I just told a few lies."

Mu Xuan said angrily: "You didn't kill anyone, but if you give false testimony, others may die because of you. If you are not a murderer, what are you?"

Da Lang also stood up and said loudly, "I didn't!"

"I'm not a murderer, and I'm not a bad guy."

Mu Xuan stomped his feet angrily and said, "That's because my parents paid two taels of silver to Ertou his mother! Otherwise, my family would have come to arrest people long ago."

"Do you know what the two taels of silver mean? That's my family's one-year ration, and now my family has to drink all the northwest wind because of a few words you said, do you know?"

Da Lang was rendered speechless by Mu Xuan, his face flushed red.

Gouwa looked at Mu Xuan for a while, then at Da Lang for a while, and finally sighed like a grown-up, "Da Lang, this matter is indeed your fault, Xuan Zi is our good friend, you shouldn't treat him like this. "

Goudan also felt that what Da Lang did was wrong.

"Da Lang, your mother raises a lot of old hens, which lay eggs every day. I heard from my mother that you can eat three eggs a day. Why are you so greedy when you hear there are eggs?"

Gua Wa said solemnly: "You should say sorry to Xuanzi, because of this matter yesterday he was slapped by Uncle Mu and paid a lot of money, you should also say sorry to Xuanzi's family."
