Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 154 Who is the murderer, exposed (1)
Zhang Xiaocao hurriedly supported her grandma, trying to say that she was fine, but couldn't speak, so she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.

After Aunt Liu brought in the medicine, she saw Grandma Zhang holding Zhang Xiaocao and crying. Asked: "Are you really okay? Will your voice still be good?"

Zhang Xiaocao nodded repeatedly, picked up the medicine bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp, holding back all her strength, enduring the pain, and made a small sound from her mouth.

When Grandma Zhang heard that her granddaughter could make a sound, she completely let go of her hanging heart, and hurriedly asked about family affairs.

Zhang Xiaocao didn't want her grandma to know, fearing that her current body would not be able to bear the huge blow, she quickly winked at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu knew it well, so she just said: "Liu Gu, your family is fine. Fortunately, the folks found out early. Now they are all chasing the thief, and I don't know if they have been caught now!"

Grandma Zhang wrote back this time. Before she fell into a coma, the thief hadn't set the fire on fire. She just thought that the villagers really found out, and the thief ran away!

Zhang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, but then the problem came again, grandma was bound to go home, but the house was burned down, the cotton was about to be burned, and the money hidden at home was probably turned into ashes. How to hide it from grandma?
Just as she was trying to prevent grandma from going home, suddenly Zhang Dazhu walked in and told her to go to the patriarch's house. It turned out that the thief had news...

In the main room of the patriarch's house, the atmosphere was a little depressing. The patriarch, Zhang Xiaocao and other villagers who were hoping to find the arsonist were a little disappointed when they came back empty-handed, but they still waited expectantly.

Seeing that the fifth team came back with nothing, everyone's hearts became heavier and they could only pin their hopes on the last team.

There were so many people chasing after them but they didn't even have a clue, they felt a little uncomfortable, and everyone stood there dejectedly, without saying a word!

The patriarch frowned, until the last one came back empty-handed, he finally couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "You didn't catch anyone either?"

The eleven members of the sixth branch are all young people in the village, led by Zhang Youfu's son Zhang Ming. After hearing the patriarch's question, he grew up and said calmly, "Grandpa patriarch, we are heading towards They chased in the direction of Huangwa Village. Although they didn't catch anyone, they asked passers-by along the way. Some people saw six young people entering Huangwa Village. But we chased all the way to the village and walked around the village several times. , I didn’t find it, and it’s not easy to go to each house to find it, so I had to come back!”

As soon as Zhang Ming finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and started discussing in low voices.

"Huangwa Village? Could it be Huangwa Village?"

"I think it's possible! Otherwise, our team followed the main road and almost found the town. We also asked people, but found nothing! I don't think those six people would have fled to the town!"

"It's the same with us here. We haven't found anything. It's raining heavily today, so it's hard to find! Mingzi and the others found something, and it's very likely that people from Huangwa Village did it. Before Xiaocao's family picked cotton, you didn't see those people's eyes. It's all green!"

Everyone was talking about it, and finally agreed that people from Huangwa Village did it. Some people even suggested that they should go to Huangwa Village now and find out those six people!
Listening to the discussion of the villagers, Zhang Xiaocao frowned. Even if those six people entered Huangwa Village, it did not mean that they had something to do with Huangwa Village. After all, they were not caught on the spot and there was no evidence. possible!

The patriarch didn't speak for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking, until the room became quiet again, he said in a deep voice: "I don't think this is simple. If Huangwa Village is really here for cotton, they are just grabbing cotton. Why don't you They want to set fire to you, and you will be cruel to your Sixth Aunt, if you miss the shot in the end, your Sixth Aunt might not survive, I think these people are probably here to seek revenge!"

The patriarch's words stunned the villagers!They all know how Liugu behaves in daily life. She was divorced by her husband's family more than 20 years ago. She has no children. After so many years of hard work, she has never caused any trouble for everyone. I had a big fight with Mrs. Zhao before, and I didn't see anyone quarreling with him. Moreover, it has been so many years since Mrs. Zhao would not order anyone to do this.

If you want to talk about seeking revenge, it can't be justified!
"Patriarch, this Sixth Aunt has no enmity with anyone, right? Moreover, such a big matter as murder and arson, ordinary people would not dare to do it!"

Zhang, who had been silent for a long time, took up the conversation. He still felt that someone was jealous of the cotton in Liu Gu's house, and set it on fire when they couldn't move it away.
Many people agree with Zhang Honest's statement. After all, except for those who are desperate, most people will not commit murder and arson. Unless there is really a deep hatred, otherwise there will be conflicts. At worst, there will be a big fight.

The patriarch shook his head and said: "Maybe your sixth aunt didn't offend anyone, but you can see what the little grass girl has done this year, maybe she accidentally offended someone and she didn't know it, and now she has been found At home, that's not impossible!"

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Zhang Xiaocao, knowing that she couldn't speak now, and it was inconvenient to ask her directly.

"Uncle patriarch, what you said makes sense. If it's really for cotton, who would be a thief in broad daylight? Isn't this waiting to be caught?"

Someone echoed the patriarch's words, and the others thought it made sense when they heard it. They looked at Zhang Xiaocao one after another, and suddenly remembered that she couldn't speak, so they didn't ask.

Zhang Xiaocao knew what everyone meant, thought about it, and decided to tell her guess, so she quickly made a writing movement with her hands.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at her in surprise, when will this girl know how to read!
The patriarch was also surprised, but he didn't say anything. He went to the room and took out his pen, ink and paper, and put them on the table.

Zhang Xiaocao quickly wrote down a paragraph on the paper, expressing her own thoughts, lest everyone guess randomly!

After she finished writing, the patriarch picked it up and read it again, and gave her a very surprised look, surprised at her good handwriting, seeing everyone looking at him, and then said what she meant.

"Xiaocao said that she already had doubts in her heart, but she was not sure yet, so she didn't say anything for now, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, she would ask someone to investigate first, and she would tell everyone immediately when she has a definite result! "

After everyone listened, although they really wanted to know who she guessed, they were smart enough not to ask too many questions, so as not to make a mistake in the end and cause unnecessary conflicts and hatred!

Zhang Xiaocao looked at Zhang Ming, then wrote another line on the paper and handed it to the team leader.

The patriarch looked at it, and quickly asked Zhang Ming: "You just said that someone saw suspicious people entering Huangwa Village, did you ask what those people looked like?"
