Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 26

After waiting for two days, but no one came, Qin Baozhu went to Hetian Liusu to discuss, did the thief see through their plot and didn't take it seriously?
"Impossible, the person who can't transplant the sprouts will indeed feel itchy if he touches it with his hands. Even if the thief has doubts, he will definitely buy some herbs to wash and wash his mind. How come he hasn't shown up for two days? I can really hold my breath." Tian Liusu told Qin Baozhu firmly.

"Then let's keep guard for a few more days, I don't believe that this thief can still be a coward..."

After waiting for five days, the thief hadn't shown up. Just when Qin Baozhu and Tian Liusu thought that the seedling thief might have seen through their plan, an unexpected news came that Li Ermazi from the village had died.

It was a villager who found him dead first, in an alley in the town. The villager happened to go to the town to buy salt early in the morning. When he came out of the grain shop, he saw a person lying in the alley. It was Li Ermazi who had been missing for many days. He immediately checked his breath and found that he was already dead.

At any rate, it was from a village, so the villager went back to the village to ask someone to get a stretcher to carry his body back.

When Qin Baozhu and Tian Liusu arrived, a group of people had already gathered around Li Er's body in the village. The village chief arrived one step ahead of them and stood at the front of the crowd. Protruding from his forehead, he kept smoking the cigarette pot.

Tian Liusu went up to check his body, and found that the soles of his pair of cloth shoes were covered with mud, and there were red marks and a faint green mark on his open palm.

"Hmph, death is not a pity..." After observing for a while, Tian Liusu snorted and said something.

"Ms. Su, why do you say that? Although he was a disaster to the neighbors, he is dead now, and the dead are the most important. Why do you care about the past?"

Seeing Tian Liusu slashing at Li Er, who had become a corpse, a villager suddenly couldn't bear it, and stood up and said a word.

"Hmph, come and take a look at his hands and shoes." Tian Liusu pointed out, and a few villagers didn't know why, so they stepped forward to look at the place she pointed at.

"His shoes are still covered with mud, and his hands are so red and swollen that they were pulled out. There is still green juice between the thumb and forefinger. This shows that he stole my sweet potato seedlings." Pulled it out."

"What? That's really the case?" After hearing her explanation, the villagers all screamed.

In this way, his death is indeed not a pity. You must know that Tian Liusu promised the villagers to plant sweet potatoes after they are successfully planted, so the sweet potato seedlings are the life-saving root of the whole village. All the green shoots that grow up are pulled out and destroyed, which is really hateful.

"Miss Su, didn't you say that the green seedlings were poisonous two days ago? Could it be that Li Er died of poisoning? If that's true, even if your sweet potatoes were successfully planted, who would dare to plant them?" a villager asked. question, the rest of the villagers nodded in agreement.

"He was indeed poisoned to death, but he was not poisoned by the sweet potato seedling."

"Ah..." The villagers were immediately confused by her answer.

"His complexion was black, and there was a rash on his face. If he scratched it with his hands, it can be seen that he was poisoned by arsenic, not because of the sweet potato seedlings. Those sweet potato seedlings are not poisonous."

Tian Liusu was surprised, who killed Li Er?The symptoms of arsenic poisoning were exactly the same as those of the sweet potato seedling poisoning that she made a fuss about. Who wanted to put Li Er to death?

"Didn't you say earlier that the sweet potato seedlings are poisonous, if you don't wash your hands with antiseptic herbs, you will itch and die all over your body?"

"I just said that on purpose to attract the seedling thief. There are so many sweet potato seedlings. If someone who doesn't know how to transplant them will definitely have red skin and itchy hands after pulling them out, I said that the thief will definitely go to the drugstore to catch them. Herbs, Master Qin has sent people to wait at several pharmacies in the town. Once someone buys the two kinds of herbs I mentioned, he can be confirmed as a seedling thief, and the herbs I mentioned don’t really relieve itching. Herbs."

Only now did everyone finally understand, and some villagers secretly praised Tian Liusu for being so smart that he could come up with such a method.

"Then if Li Er hadn't been poisoned by the sweet potato seedlings, who would have poisoned him?" Someone in the crowd questioned.

"Then who knows, Li Er has always been tyrannical and domineering to his neighbors, maybe his former enemies just took this opportunity to get rid of him."

Another reason Tian Liusu didn't say, but secretly speculated in his heart was that he had a grudge against her, and if he wanted to kill Li Er and blame her, then she would become the public enemy of the whole village, and that sweet potato would not Want to plant again successfully.

The crowd sighed for a while, and finally the village chief ordered several villagers in the village to make him a cheap coffin and bury him in the back mountain.

In a cave next to the spring in the back mountain, the villagers found several pockets of green plants, and when they opened it, they were sweet potato seedlings in the tassel field.

Tian Liusu looked at the wilted sweet potato seedlings, shook his head and sighed. After so many days, most of the sweet potato seedlings had withered and could not be planted anymore. Mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

Li Er's death did not cause much trouble in Tianshui Village, because he did a lot of evil on weekdays, and he died well. Suspicion, but there are no clues, and the matter has no choice but to let it go.

After a few days of deep thinking, Tian Liusu secretly recalled the tomb-robbing mechanism and formations she had learned in her previous life, and she remembered some. At noon this day, she called Qin Baozhu to follow her into the mountain and tried to break through the several methods she thought of. The formation at the entrance of the valley.

The two entered the mountain from noon to afternoon. Tian Liusu tried more than a dozen methods but failed. She used all the organ array cracking techniques she had learned for more than ten years in her previous life in this half day, but she was still in the forest all the time. Wandering around, Tian Liusu only felt physically and mentally exhausted, tired and no longer in love.

Qin Baozhu saw her running and jumping, going in and out of the woods all afternoon without doing anything, so he couldn't help asking, "What the hell are you doing? Jumping around like a monkey."

Tian Liusu was climbing up the tree and jumping from one tree to another, when she heard her words, she fell off the branch with a "plop".

"Can you not drop the chain at a critical moment?" Tian Liusu was already exhausted at this time, and at the end of his battle, he leaned against a big tree and panted continuously after falling.

"Didn't you harvest that Poria cocos a few days ago? Many villagers went into the mountains to dig that thing. If the place you said was really easy to find, those hunters would have found it long ago," Qin Baozhu barked.
