end of May.

The highland barley harvest has been completed and all the rice has been planted, so it is still quite leisurely.

Liu Quanzheng rented a room in the village as a school and taught the children in the village how to read.

Many people send their children here for enlightenment, which can be considered an improvement.

But something big happened in Qingshan Village today.

The ladies in the village gathered around the east side of the village.

"Yun Yatou, Mao Dan said you killed this person?" The speaker was an old lady who was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Su Yun was a little speechless. She asked Mao Dan to call someone, but word spread that she had killed someone.

"No, I fished it out of the river."

The ladies next to me finally realized that something had happened.

Old lady Gao on the side said, "Why are you deafer than an old woman like me? My idiot clearly said that someone died in the river, and the girl was fished out."

"Hey, you old woman, why are you not deaf today?" The aunt asked curiously.

Mr. Gao shouted, "What? Are you born deaf?"

The aunt was not happy, "Why are you talking like this damn old woman?"

"What? Are you a dead old woman? Why are you scolding yourself so well?" Old Mrs. Gao muttered.

The aunt didn't want to pay attention to Mrs. Gao, rolled her eyes and stood on the other side.

Haha, Grandma Maodan is so cute.

The corners of Su Yun's mouth raised. She was wearing underwear and looking out of the crowd. At her feet lay a female corpse with swelling and swelling.
The upper body of the female corpse was covered by a half-length dress, and only her swollen face and black thighs could be seen.

[Why haven’t my dad and my cousin come yet? 】Su Yun was anxious.

Not a single man from the village came, only the ladies who loved to watch the fun.

Su Bing pulled the Su clan leader and ran ahead.

He could hear Su Yun's thoughts from far away.

Liu Quanzheng and Su Huaiyi were one step behind them.

"Be good." Su Bing shouted, pushing away the crowd.

Several people finally squeezed in.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone was fine, but when they saw the female body on the ground, they frowned at the same time.

Chief Su came forward.

"Yun Yatou, what's going on?"

"Grandpa Tang, Mao Dan skipped class, so I went to see Grandma Gao to ask about the situation. Grandma Gao said that Mao Dan went fishing in the river to the east of the village early in the morning. I was afraid that Mao Dan would have an accident, so I ran over here."

"As soon as I came here, I saw Mao Dan almost drowning, and I quickly rescued him. After we got up, we wanted to go back to the village, but there was a person floating on the river, so I fished him out." Su Yun. Simply describe things.

Mao Dan ran ahead and led the way.

Li and Liu Xia also rushed over with a baby in their arms. Wang Erniu and Wang Lin also came at the same time.

Many people from the village came one after another.

Liu Xia put down Su Xingxue and put the dress she was holding on Su Yun's shoulders.

Chief Su stared at Mao Dan, "Su Ke, you can't fish in the river in the village's fields, so you have to run to the East River outside the village?"

Mao Dan’s surname is Su Ke, and everyone named Su in Qingshan Village is related to him.

He is eight years old, a month or two younger than Su Yun.

His mother had died since his childhood, his father was working as a blacksmith in the county, and he and his grandmother stayed in Qingshan Village.

The work in the field had just finished, and his father had just returned to the county town.

Mao Dan hid behind Su Yun, lowered his head and said nothing.He was still wearing wet clothes, dripping with water.

Grandma Gao heard clearly this time and explained.

"Maodan and Li Cheng agreed that when he earned enough money for a day's work, Li Cheng would come back and stay with him all day. The river in the village was only thigh high and there were no big fish in it, so Mao Dan went to fish in the river to the east of the village. .”

After hearing this, Patriarch Su didn't know what to say. He could only say to Mrs. Gao.

"Sister-in-law, you can't let Mao Dan go fishing alone next time. It's too dangerous."

Mrs. Gao nodded.Chief Su sighed, "Maodan, I will tell your father about this later when I go to the county seat."

"Grandfather, can you not tell my father that I will never play truant again?" Maodan grabbed the corner of Chief Su's clothes.

Tears fell from his eyes.

If his father knew that he didn't study hard, he would definitely be disappointed in him.

Patriarch Su nodded helplessly, "If you don't say this, just say that you miss your father. Okay, everyone should disperse. Erniu and I will report to the official. The two brothers, Dashan and Xiaoshan, will stay and guard the body."

Today is different from the past. In the past, when County Magistrate Zhao was on duty, they did not need to report the dead people they met.

However, as soon as County Magistrate Zheng took office, he went to every village to popularize the law. Anyone who encountered a corpse must report it to the official.

Even the last time Boss Qian and Aunt Liu were killed, Chief Su reported it to the government office.

But it was hidden from Mu Yi.

Boss Qian was a wanted criminal, and he killed Aunt Liu. The Qingshan villagers were protecting themselves, and Magistrate Zheng did not investigate too much.

Wang Erniu's family lived at the entrance of the village, and they drove Wang Lin and the Su clan leader away in a carriage.

But the villagers who joined in the fun did not leave and kept chatting.

"How do you think this female corpse died?"

"You saw it when I came here. There wasn't even a piece of cloth on my body. It's probably..."

"Okay, what are you talking about? You think you are the county boss, and you have solved the case one by one. Let's go back, the government will come to question everyone present." Li held Su Xingxue who wanted to approach the corpse. , took the lead and left first.

Liu Xia pulled Su Yun and turned to Mao Dan.

"Xiao Ke, go back and take a hot bath and change into dry clothes."

"Thank you, Auntie." Mao Dan supported Old Mrs. Gao.

When he heard that he was about to be questioned, the spectators ran faster than rabbits.

Su Yun went home, took a hot bath, and changed into clean clothes.

As soon as she came out, Su Bing was waiting at the door.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"When did you learn to float?"

"Born?" Su Yun asked.

[Hey, my dad won’t be angry anymore, right?But Mao Dan’s situation is urgent, so it’s not urgent to go back and call someone. 】

Su Bing sighed, "It's not that dad won't let you save people, but dad is afraid that you will get involved. Do you know?"

"Yeah, I understand." Su Yun nodded.

Mrs. Li brought a bowl of ginger soup, "Your father is right, you have to ensure your own safety to save others. Come, have a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up."

Su Yun drank it in small sips, and the spicy taste hit Tianling Gai.

"Are my siblings at home?" Old Mrs. Gao shouted while standing at the door of the courtyard.

Mrs. Li replied, "Yes, come in quickly."

Mrs. Gao pulled Maodan, who had already changed clothes, and placed the basket in her hand on the stone table.

"Give Yun Yatou some recuperation. If it weren't for Yun Yatou, my little guy would be dead."

"No, you can take it back." Ms. Li declined.

Old lady Gao is in good health, but her ears are sometimes good and bad.

She smiled and said, "Thank me? You're welcome. I should thank you girl."

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, don't give me away." Old Mrs. Gao pulled Mao Dan away again.

Li had no choice but to lift the basket into the kitchen, lifted the cloth covering it, and saw twenty neat eggs and a killed chicken.

This old lady Gao doesn't know whether her ears are really deaf or not.

However, I am determined.

As soon as the Su family finished lunch, Xiao Shan ran over.

"Magistrate Zheng asked Yun Yatou to go to the entrance of the village."
