Chapter 44 Doubt

"Sister? What's wrong with you?"

Under Xie Wuyou's gentle poking, Xie Wuyu came back to his senses, looked at the three pieces of white jade he had already picked up in his hand, Xie Wuyu tried to put them together, but found that one piece was still missing.

Xie Wuyu didn't understand jade, but he could tell that the texture of the jade badge was very ordinary. It was said to be a luxury item, but it looked more like... some kind of identification.

The back of the jade plaque is very smooth, only the front has a broken word, and the key side is missing, Xie Wuyu can't tell what the word is for the time being.

She rummaged through the nearby ruins, a charred piece of wood rolling to her feet.

Xiao Ye looked at Mu Mu, walked over slowly, and asked softly, "What are you looking for, let me help you find it together."

"Okay." Xie Wuyu didn't refuse, didn't raise his head, and showed him the fragments of the jade token in his hand, "There's one piece missing, it should be here, let's look for it."

The old house of Xie’s family is an earthen house, but the roof is thatched, and the doors and windows are also made of wood. It is not a good wood, and it has been in disrepair for a long time.

If he didn't find this thing today, Xie Wuyu would only think that it might be because of his family's carelessness and bad luck that he encountered such a fire, but now he accidentally discovered something that didn't exist in his memory, which makes people not think too much are difficult.

Lan Tie and Xie Wuyou looked at each other, and they also saw the broken white jade card in Xie Wuyu's hand. Although they didn't know why they were looking for the fragments of this thing, they could understand the expression on Xie Wuyu's face. Careful and vigilant.

So Lan Tie and Xie Wuyou also joined the team looking for the white jade card.But this place is not big, Xie Wuyu and the others didn't look for long before Lan Tie cheered suddenly: "I found it, Xie Xiaoyu, is this what you want?"

Xie Wuyu was taken aback for a moment, Xie Xiaoyu?
Okay, it's just a title, it doesn't matter what it's called.When he turned around, he didn't see a trace of hostility suddenly flashing in Xiao Ye's eyes.

Lan Tie held a small fragment in his hand, which was not very complete. One side was crushed into fine powder, and it fell to him with a shake of his hand, but the general shape was still there.

Xie Wuyu put together several pieces, and a basically complete square jade tablet appeared in the palm of his hand, with a large incomplete character engraved on it—Mu.

"Mu?" Lan Tie scratched his head, "Is this a person's last name?"

Xie Wuyu glanced at him unexpectedly, Lan Tie could still read.

If it is said that Lan Tie can say some ordinary characters, Xie Wuyu may not be so surprised. After all, if Lan Tie's parents value him, it is not impossible to send him to learn characters for a period of time, but the word "Mu" The words are not very commonly used, and Lan Tie can tell at a glance, which means that he must have studied for a long time.

pity……

Lan Tie saw Xie Wuyu's doubts, and scratched his head embarrassingly, "Don't look at me like that, I used to go to school for a few years when my parents were in a good relationship." He said in a disappointed tone, it's a pity that the world impermanence..."

Xie Wuyu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while, she was not a character to comfort people, and now she became even more stupid.

Finally, he patted him on the shoulder and said dryly: "It's okay, everything will be fine."

Xiao Ye stood beside Xie Wuyu in unusual silence, seeing Xie Wuyu's fingers flicking nervously when he patted Lan Tie's body, he frowned slightly dissatisfied.Just now when Lan Tie read out the words with some missing corners on the jade tablet, his eyes narrowed uncontrollably, and his thick eyelashes were drawn down to cover up the disappointment and unwillingness inside.

He will definitely be able to read and write in the future, and he will definitely be better than Lan Tie.

Lan Tie smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, what is this, is it important to you?"

Xie Wuyu looked at the jade tablet in his hand, his face sank, he didn't say anything, he just asked, "Is there anyone with the surname Mu in the village?"

"No, I haven't heard of this surname since I've been here for so long." Lan Tie was puzzled at first, but then suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and his voice became much quieter unconsciously: "No way...... Is there anyone...would do such a vile thing?"

Xie Wuyu glanced at him, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but my family doesn't have this thing. Do you know where there is someone surnamed Mu?"

Lan Tie shook his head firmly: "No. There is no one surnamed Mu in Taohua Village, and even my previous village has no one surnamed Mu. Could it be that you are wrong?"

Xie Wuyu frowned: "Don't tell anyone what happened today, as long as we know it in our hearts."

Lan Tie raised a hand to promise: "Don't worry, I will never say anything."

Xie Wuyu's frowning didn't relax, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the fragments he could find and put them in his pocket.

When she received all the memories, she didn't deliberately sort them out, but if it was someone who had a grudge against her family, she would definitely not lose the impression that the word "Mu" does not exist in her memory, so why did she leave it at the scene of the crime? What about such a thing as evidence?
Was it careless?Or warning?
After thinking for a while to no avail, Xie Wuyu turned his head and told Xiao Ye and Xie Wuyou one more sentence: "You also have to remember, don't tell anyone about what happened today, not even my parents. Living."

Xiao Ye nodded obediently, Xie Wuyou looked at Xie Wuyu half puzzled and half terrified: "Sister, is someone trying to hurt us?"

Xie Wuyu pursed his lips and rubbed her head: "It's okay, my sister won't let you have an accident."

Xie Wuyou looked at Xie Wuyu with a puffy face. After a while, she hugged Xie Wuyu's waist, buried her head in her arms and rubbed her hard a few times: "Sister is the most powerful, Wuyou doesn't worry about anything."

Xie Wuyu was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Well, my sister is here, there must be no problem."

Because of such an episode, Xie Wuyu was not in the mood to check whether the strawberry field was damaged. The children of the same age were no different from the children playing together in the village. They were sitting next to the strawberry stand, blowing the March spring breeze quietly. .

In the afternoon, Xie Gui came back from the county. He was smiling all the time when he entered the door. Xie Wuyou ran over and picked him up, and threw him in the air twice. Can't stop like crazy.

Xie Wuyu deliberately stood six or seven steps away and watched them frolicking, holding Xiao Ye's hand in his hand. After the two of them had finished their fight, Xie Wuyu dared to step forward, keeping a distance cautiously: " Dad, did you have a good talk with Young Master Gu?"

Xie Gui put down Xie Wuyou, still hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's not bad. By the way, Xiaoyu, it's fine to send the next one in five days, but it may cost more than 100 catties."

"No problem." Xie Wuyu smiled, looked at Xie Gui, thought of the fragments he found, hesitant to speak.But now that there are so many people, it doesn't have to be said at this time.

So he changed the subject: "But the strawberries in the field may not be available, Father, let's rent some land and grow more strawberries."

Xie Gui struggled: "Can I make it in time?"

Xie Wuyu nodded: "Yes, we don't cultivate seedlings. I saw that there are not many people who go to the mountains to pick strawberries recently. We can go to the mountains to pick some good seedlings. It will not take more than ten days for the fruits to mature. .”

"Okay." Xie Gui was radiant, and stood up energetically, "But now your father, I'm going to find your Uncle Zhao to discuss building a house."

Xie Wuyu's eyes lit up: "Can I participate?"

Xie Gui raised his eyebrows: "How do you want to participate?"

Xie Wuyu ran to the kitchen, took out a wooden stick with a burnt front end, and grabbed a piece of waste paper that Xie Wuji had finished practicing calligraphy, pulled the small stool and sat beside her father, and wrote on the back of the paper with charcoal. draw.

"Dad, look, since we want to build a house, let's build it better. It can be designed like this, first..."

The father and daughter murmured together for a long time, considering the current social background, although the imperial court did not have any special restrictions and requirements on the houses that the common people lived in, it could not be fully modernized, otherwise it would not be unique, it would be called a weird feature stand alone.

So in order to prevent the built house from being too eye-catching and want to add some convenient modern elements, Xie Wuyu added a circle of bluestone walls around a group of houses with good functions.

Xie Gui seemed to have opened the door to a new world, his eyes lit up when he looked at the well-defined houses.
