Almighty Thief

For Chen Xiao, his current consciousness is still in what Tianlin Dongping said to him. He clearly remembers that Hu Daoxian's favorite is the green pipe. !.Hearing that someone wanted to grab a pipe now, he subconsciously asked.

The people next to him were also in a mess. Some children were frightened and cried when they saw Ergou covered in blood.Many people scrambled to rush into Li Laifu's house, wanting to see what happened.

Li Yongbai, who had just been slapped twice on the opposite side, suddenly became empty, and no one cared about the so-called wine anymore.

Fang Junqiang also had an ugly face. He didn't expect that someone would be killed just after he arrived here. If Chen Ling wanted to plant him on himself, another troublesome thing might come to him.

Chen Xiao took out a small jug from his pocket. This is the jug he found out from the room. The jug Li Wuhua gave him earlier was too big and it was inconvenient to carry, so he put it directly in the It was not brought out in the item bar.

"Don't your friends know about wine, let them try peach blossom wine?"

Chen Ling threw the flagon to Fang Junqiang, and Fang Junqiang subconsciously reached out to take it. Seeing this, Chen Ling smiled, turned and walked towards Li Laifu's home.This wine is indeed not authentic peach blossom wine, but he is very confident in Li Wuhua, the wine he concocts can definitely be fake.

The Ergou in front had been pulled aside by an old man, asking about the details of Ergou, Ergou was crying, obviously frightened.While crying, Chen Ling could still see some of his yellow teeth, which must have been caused by secretly smoking.

Sun Weiwei also followed behind Chen Xiao, and they walked into Li Laifu's house all the way.

I don't know why, ever since I found out that there was a dead person in the room, there was always a yin and yin lingering feeling in the room, which made people shudder.Sun Weiwei rubbed her arms twice, as if looking for some warmth.

"what!"

When the three saw the middle-aged man lying dead on the ground.Sun Weiwei couldn't help covering Cherry's small mouth and yelled, even Chen Xiao felt palpitations, the other party was too cruel.

The white brains and the scarlet blood were mixed together and flowed on the ground.The middle-aged man opened his terrified eyes, and his right hand opened and closed slightly, as if he was holding something before.Chen Xiao seemed to see the last moment.The man blocked the killer's path with his body, buying time for the little dog to escape.

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on. It's horrible."

The villagers next to him began to discuss, not knowing why the other party was suddenly killed.Besides, they were always outside the door at that time, no one would be able to go in unless there was a crime.And Chen Xiao also knew the man's name amidst the discussion among the crowd, it was called Ma Xiaofan, a very common name.

"It's a crime. Is it retribution?!" The old man next to him shook his head and sighed.

"Old man, what did Ma Xiaofan do wrong?" Chen Xiao asked suspiciously.

"It's a crime." The old man shook his head, turned around and walked outside, and Chen Xiao also left with the old man.After walking for a long time, I heard the old man say: "Actually, Ma Xiaofan is not from our Taoyuan Village at all. He doesn't know where he came from. He only knows that someone left him on the side of the road and was picked up by Granny Ma. At that time, Malan was young, and he suffered so much for raising Ma Xiaofan. You must know that the doctors in the village at that time said that Ma Xiaofan would not survive, but he was miraculously supported by Ma Lan."

The old man sighed again, his eyes filled with memories, and when he walked outside, Fang Junqiang and the others had left at some point, and the car was gone.After thinking about it, I was really sure that the wine just now was peach blossom wine, so I went back and started to think of a way.

Chen Xiao quietly followed behind the old man, following all the way, he just felt that Ma Xiaofan's death was definitely an important clue, because Ergou had already said it just now.It's the green pipe.

The man paused, and then continued: "At that time, Ma Lan married a young man surnamed Hu, but because she insisted on adopting Ma Xiaofan, the originally happy family was torn apart. After all, the two divorced because of Ma Xiaofan. .You must be wondering why we got divorced, because at that time, we couldn’t even eat enough for ourselves, so how could there be any surplus food to feed other people.”

A young man surnamed Hu?Hu Daoxian? !

Chen Xiao subconsciously thought of Hu Daoxian in his mind. It seemed that when he was young, he also heard that Hu Daoxian had no mother, and he lived with his father since he was a child, which caused some deformities in Hu Daoxian's heart.

It's just that Hu Daoxian seemed smarter, that's why he was liked by his mother, and later became his mother's assistant, but in the end...

"Old man, does the young man surnamed Hu you mentioned have any children with Granny Ma?" Chen Xiao asked.

"child?"

The old man looked up to the north, not knowing what he was thinking about, maybe because of the age, he couldn't remember clearly.After a long time, he nodded, "There is a child, I can't remember the name, because when they divorced, the child was only a little over one year old."

"Then do you know it's a boy or a girl?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Boy." The old man smiled, showing a trace of pride on his face, "At that time, because of poverty, my mother-in-law helped them deliver the baby. Later, when my mother-in-law came back, she told me that the child was a boy. .”

"Is it Hu Daoxian?"

Chen Xiao tentatively asked, this kind of inquiry can guide the other party into a deeper memory, and maybe they will forget it, but once a familiar name appears, the other party will definitely have a slight reaction.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xiao's words, the old man nodded excitedly and said, "Oh, yes, yes. It seems to be Hu Daoxian, and his name seems to be given by an old Taoist who passed by our village. Yes , I remembered."

The more the old man talked, the more excited he became. It seemed that what happened at that time was so ingenious that he could imagine it decades later.The old man stopped, turned to look at Chen Xiao, and said excitedly.

"That child's name is Hu Daoxian. When you said it, I remembered it. That old Taoist is a very powerful person. He can see your future just by looking at his face. I still remember that he was holding a bamboo pole with four large characters written on it. , a fortune teller in linen. Although I am illiterate, I definitely remember those four words, because his prediction was so accurate. It is also because of him that our Taoyuan Village escaped a catastrophe."

Hearing what the old man said, Chen Xiao nodded.

If this is the case, then the following series of things are very easy to explain.Although I don't know why Hu Daoxian prefers green pipes, but Hu Daoxian has one, and Ma Xiaofan also has one, which seems to be another mystery.

"Chen Xiao."

While thinking about it, Sun Weiwei brought Li Wuhua to her side, and Wang Shuo took a step to feel the pain. Rather than saying that he was walking, it was better to say that he was moving, and even a tortoise would walk much faster than him.

Burrow!

Chen Xiao thought of the hole he and Sun Weiwei fell into, and also thought of what the old man who looked at the fish pond said last time. There is only one family living in the north of the village. In this case, could it be said that the one living there is Granny Ma? !

Ma Xiaofan is his adopted son, so Ergou is his grandson.

peach wine!

Seeing the fat man, Chen Ling thought of the peach blossom wine being drunk again. From what he said, it seemed that the drunk was not Ma Xiaofan, but Er Gou!

"Old man, may Grandma Ma be the one who lives in the north of the village?" Chen Xiao asked suddenly.

"Yes." The old man nodded, "Since Ma Xiaofan had conflicts with Granny Ma, she moved out of the village by herself and lived in the northernmost part of the village. Counting it, it has been decades now. Fortunately, some people come here often Do farm work over there, otherwise, we don't know whether she is dead or alive now."

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Ling nodded, and the clues in his mind became clearer.

That burrow must be the burrow that Grandma Ma made when she was young, and the peach blossom wine inside should be the peach blossom wine that Grandma Ma made.As for why the small door on the surface of the cave was opened, someone must have stolen the peach blossom wine.

But the person who knew that the peach blossom wine would drink the peach blossom wine secretly was definitely not Ma Xiaofan who had conflicts with Granny Ma, so there was only one person in the end, and that person was Xiao Ergou!

That is, the child who secretly drank the peach blossom wine that the fat man hid at home.

This can also explain why the small door on the surface of the cave was not closed and there was no drop of water below. It must be that Ergou forgot to close the small door when he left after drinking the peach blossom wine. Attracted to the past, accidentally fell into the cave.

If Hu Daoxian's home is here, will Hu Daoxian come back to see Granny Ma recently, and will he leave anything behind.Because according to Hu Daoxian's personality, he would definitely not keep important things by his side, he would definitely find a place that no one else knew about.

There is only one place that others don't know, and that is his life experience, the place where his real mother lives.

But since the other party can find Ma Xiaofan, they must also know about Granny Ma!

That is to say!

Granny Ma is in a very dangerous situation now!

"Oh, it hurts to death. It took me so long to walk such a short distance." The fat man came over with his teeth bared, clutching his buttocks and howling.

Chen Ling didn't seem to hear Fatty Wang's words, waved at Sun Weiwei and Li Wuhua, and ran to the north of the village first, "Come on, let's go to Granny Ma's house quickly!"

"Damn, wait for me." Fatty Wang screamed and moved towards the north step by step.To be continued. .
