After crossing, I look forward to the three stepmothers leaving the singles every day

Chapter 42

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaodou hurried over.

Nan Xing gestured to him, and the two walked outside to talk under the big banyan tree.

"How is it? You've been here for so long, did you find out everything this time?" Nan Xing asked calmly, although he was burning with anxiety.

Liu Xiaodou nodded: "A total of six people came here this morning, Shijiao Village, Qingping Village and our Xiaozhai Village respectively. I heard that when they came, they asked people in the village if they knew each other. A fruit called sweet plum, and asked if there is a tree with wild fruit on the mountain... In short, I asked a lot of inexplicable things."

Nan Xing's heart skipped a beat, isn't the so-called sweet plum just an apricot fruit?

Could it be that Hongfu restaurant is having an affair with someone from the jade shop?
So, she asked more carefully: "Besides the people in the jade shop, can you find out who else is there?"

Liu Xiaodou shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, their faces are very familiar, and they should all be from the county."

Because the Jade Ware Shop is in the county seat, since some of the people who came came from them, and the timing of the other people's coming was so coincidental, they should be in the same group.

Nan Xing pondered for a while, then continued to ask: "By the way, you and Uncle Gui often go to the county town to sell prey. Do you know which restaurant is close to jade wares?"

This question is not difficult for Liu Xiaodou at all. There are only two restaurants in Yanghuai County, one is called Hongfu Restaurant and the other is called Jinxi Restaurant.

The reason why their prey is sold to Hongfu Restaurant is because their shopkeeper is kind and the money given is very reasonable, while the shopkeeper of Jinxi Restaurant is very picky and not easy to talk to.

In addition, when they set up a stall, they always like to gossip about some big families with some people next to them when they are bored.

So when Nan Xing asked this question, he immediately slapped his forehead and said, "I've heard people say that Jinxi Restaurant and Jade Ware Shop are the same owner."

Now, Nan Xing's mind was cleared, besides those who came from the jade shop, there must also be people from Jinxi Restaurant.

She thought about it, and then asked solemnly: "Have you found out what those people look like?"

At that time, Liu Xiaodou had carefully asked those people he had met, so he nodded: "I can recognize people when I see them."

"Okay, you describe it, and I'll draw their appearance." So, the two of them returned to Nan Xing's home.

According to what he described, Nan Xing quickly described the appearance of the other four people.

In two mornings, they beat them out sideways, and Nan Xing also recognized them as people from the jade shop, so there was no need to draw those two people.

"Xiaodou, now go gather your friends and ask them to get in touch with the cousins ​​in Shijiao Village and Qingping Village, and go to the nearby hills together. See if the hills in other villages have been picked last time. If there are any wild fruits, the price will be the same as last time, so you can charge as much as you have." Nan Xing said.

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and emphasized emphatically: "But the speed must be fast, and it is best to get things done in these two days."

Looking at her painting in one go, Liu Xiaodou was stunned, and it took him a while to find his own voice: "...OK."

"By the way, your father has been hunting in the mountains all year round. You can also ask him. Maybe he has seen that kind of wild fruit on some mountain." After finishing speaking, Nan Xing took out a small cloth bag and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." Help with the investigation, here is forty cents, five cents per person, you can share it with everyone to buy big meat buns."

"Okay." Liu Xiaodou's eyes lit up, took the money from her, and ran away happily.

Unexpectedly, this trip could earn another five cents, and I was very excited.

If I could find a wild fruit tree...

Thinking of this, he hurried to find someone to do something.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei looked at each other in great surprise, their Nan Xing wanted to make a big deal.

When it was almost time for dinner, the strong smell of bone soup wafted from the kitchen, causing the three of them to swallow their saliva.

But what surprised Nan Xing was that she never saw her three mothers come out. She poked inside curiously, and with a 'squeak' sound, she pushed the door open and went in.

Suddenly, she was taken aback and yelled 'Wow', which made Qiuju and Chunmei run in quickly, thinking that something had happened.

Ji Xiangyan and Luo Yunfei were both wearing turbans, their faces were wrapped in cloth, and only two black eyeballs were exposed.

With that weird look, coupled with the mess all over the room, Nan Xing instantly thought that a thief had broken into the house.

"Xing'er, it's us..." Luo Yunfei said anxiously.

"Xing'er, don't fight, it's us..." Ji Xiangyan also said anxiously.

Their faces turned pale, and they glanced at the stick Nan Xing lifted from the corner.

so thick...

In case she accidentally beats her as a thief...

"Er Niang, what are you doing?" Nan Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he put down the stick.

Luo Yunfei looked in the mirror and asked her again: "How is it? Can't you see any injuries on your face?"

Ji Xiangyan also came over, winked at her and asked, "How is it? Isn't this a great idea? I came up with it."

Nan Xing looked at them with a puzzled expression: "Mother, Second Mother, what are you all doing? Look, the house has been messed up by you."

Hearing her question, Ji Xiangyan instantly collapsed, choked and said: "Tomorrow I have to go to the ground, but today's face was beaten like this, no matter how good Doctor Lu's medical skills are, tomorrow's appearance will definitely not be much different from today's appearance , It’s so embarrassing to go out like this and let people see it..."

Luo Yunfei nodded approvingly.

At this time, they seemed to understand Jiang Yanhua's endless tears and sadness.

Hearing Ji Xiangyan's explanation, Nan Xing was even more dumbfounded.

She had no choice but to comfort her: "Ma'am, Erniang, the sun tomorrow will probably be as vicious as today's. If you go to the field dressed up like this, you will probably be suffocated to death by yourself before being laughed to death by the villagers, and you will be suffocated by your head." The sun above is hot to death."

Luo Yunfei thought for a while, and felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she quickly tore off the scarf and the cloth covering her face,

Then, she complained to Ji Xiangyan: "It's all your fault, so nice, what bad idea did you come up with?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiangyan's breath became stagnant: "..."

Just now you raised your hands and feet in favor, why did it become a bad idea now?

"Okay, ma'am, you can quickly take it off too. The bone soup is ready, let's go out to eat quickly." Nan Xing laughed.

"Hey, what about Sanniang, where did she go?" She turned around and asked them again without seeing Jiang Yanhua.

"She's in the next room." Luo Yunfei blushed and said embarrassedly.

It turned out that Jiang Yanhua disliked that the two of them were too good at tossing around, so she simply hid in the next room and didn't care if she didn't see her.
