big sister headed home

Chapter 51

Dou Hua's five senses are extraordinary' what the people outside the door said naturally couldn't escape her ears' she replied loudly in the yard'"Here it comes~"

As he spoke, he quickly came to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door from the inside, put on an apologetic look on his face at the right time, and apologized with a smile, "I'm really sorry, our family is taking a nap." I woke up late It’s too late, let the officials wait for a long time.”

"Take a nap? It's rare to sleep at this time. Let me ask you, "You just take a nap when you take a nap." Why did you close the door? Did you do something wrong?" A bearded official stared and asked. .

"Aren't we afraid? To tell you the truth, our parents have both died year after year. Now we are the only children left to live. When we came back from the county in the morning, we saw something happened on the road. We are timid, afraid of bad people , That's how the door was opened." Dou Hua said.

Hearing what Dou Hua said, the bearded official could not help feeling a little less angry. He felt a little sympathy for Dou Hua. He saw that Dou Hua was young and her parents had both died. He probably had a hard time. of.

But sympathy is sympathy, what should be asked is still to be asked, the bearded officer was about to ask questions, when the person standing behind him on the right spoke,
"So this is Miss Dou's home, Miss Dou, do you still know me?"

Dou Hua tilted her head and crossed the bearded officer, and glanced at his right back, because she was standing in the door and was blocked by the beard again, so she didn't see a person standing outside the door, and when she poked her head, this Only then did I see a person standing there, a person I knew, "Young Master Wang? Oh, no, it should be called Master Wang now, congratulations to your high school."

It turned out that the person who spoke was none other than Wang Xiucai who sold her the donkey back then. At that time, Wang Xiucai was thinking of selling the donkey to pay for the travel expenses for the Beijing exam. It happened that the former county magistrate of Qingshan County was due to expire, and he was also lucky. He returned to his hometown county and became the magistrate of a county in Qingshan County.

Less than a month after Wang Xiucai took office, a homicide occurred. This was his first major case since he took office. He attached great importance to it and personally supervised the matter.

Now they needed to find out who the deceased was, so the county magistrate Wang brought the officials of the government office to Doujia Village, which was the closest to the crime scene, and went door-to-door to inquire, hoping to get some clues to solve the case.

By coincidence, County Magistrate Wang brought two yamen servants to Dou's house to inquire about the situation, and only then did he meet Dou Hua.

Seeing that Dou Hua still knew him, County Magistrate Wang smiled and stepped forward, "As expected, Miss Dou still remembers me."

Dou Hua also smiled, "Of course I remember my lord, my lord was the one who sold me the little Huizi. Now it is the hero of my family, and it is indispensable to work in the field. Otherwise, there are only a few children in our family, and those few acres of land I can't do the work, so my family has to thank you, sir."

When County Magistrate Wang heard this, he laughed and felt that fate was a wonderful thing. At the beginning, he had to sell donkeys to pay for the travel, and prepared for the last fight. However, this time the Chunwei exam did not delay the exam due to illness like the previous few times. It is rare. Shunli High School, and this donkey, sold to Dou Hua, also played a role, helping them to work in the field and serving as an important labor force, which can be described as mutual benefit and shared benefits.

"Hahaha~ Don't thank me. Speaking of it, the two of us are reciprocal, and we each take what we need. My donkey, oh no, it's your little gray, okay? I haven't seen it for a while, but it's okay. I miss it a little bit," said County Magistrate Wang.

"It's in the donkey shed in the courtyard of my house. If you want to see it, just come in and see it." Dou Hua said, turning sideways to make way.

"Then we'll make trouble." County Magistrate Wang cupped his hands, showing no airs of being an official, as if he regarded Dou Hua as a friend.

The bearded yamen servant and the other yamen servant have been standing behind watching since just now, and they didn't dare to come forward to speak, and the expressions on their faces changed again and again. They never expected that the newly appointed magistrate would be the same as this country girl. I know them, and they look like they have a good relationship.

I couldn't help but think that the attitude of the two of them just now seemed not very good, and I felt uneasy, afraid that the county magistrate would settle accounts with them afterwards. Putting on a smiling expression that he thought was more friendly, he wanted to make up for his mistakes and leave a good impression on the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Wang followed Dou Hua into the courtyard and came to the donkey shed. Little Huizi still remembered him, and when he saw his original owner, he immediately raised his head happily and yelled, "Yeah~ Hmm~", the four legs kept kicking, very excited, as if thinking about rushing out of the donkey shed, and plunged into the arms of County Magistrate Wang.

County Magistrate Wang was also happy. He stepped forward a few steps, walked up to Little Huizi, stretched out his hand, stroked its big head, and scratched the back of its long ears. Ling's shoulder, let him scratch his ear.

County magistrate Wang is very skilled in scratching, and it can be seen that he often did this in the past.

"Little Huizi, this is your new name, right? You still remember me. I see that you are much fatter than before. You are living a good life." County Magistrate Wang said.

The only answer to him was Little Huizi's cry of "Mmm~mmmm~", and the big head's intimate rubbing.

County Magistrate Wang and Xiaohuizi stayed together for a while, he still hadn't forgotten his purpose this time, and asked Dou Hua briefly about the murder case in the courtyard, like if he knew about the family in the village The population is missing, have you seen any suspicious people appear in the village or something.

Regarding the matters asked by County Magistrate Wang, Dou Hua basically shook her head to express that she didn't know. She usually stayed at her own home, so she was closer to Dou Sishan's family. She was usually busy in the fields or at home. That said, she is also not good at those parents in the village. The family lives a simple and peaceful life, and it is very leisurely.

"Master Wang, my daughter has never heard of the situation you asked about. A few days ago, the wheat was harvested and cultivated, and my daughter's family was exhausted. These days, they have been resting at home and rarely go out. They just went to the county today. In order to buy some things for my younger brother to go to school, I saw such a big thing happen on the road."

"Oh, so it's like this, it's okay, if you get any situation in the future, just tell me." County magistrate Wang said.

"My little girl, remember, if there is a situation, I will definitely report to the county government." Dou Hua nodded.

"In that case, we won't beg for mercy. Let's go to the next house to inquire about the situation." County magistrate Wang frowned slightly, feeling a little worried, thinking that this murder case was not so easy to solve.

Dou Hua hesitated for a moment before asking, "My lord, do you want to take Little Huizi away?"

County magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's fine with you, so let it stay in your house, as long as you treat it well."

"My lord, don't worry, our family will treat Xiao Huizi well." Dou Hua said, "Then I'll see you off to your lord."

Dou Hua sent several county magistrates out, and took Dou Qing home after they had gone far.

After seeing no one, Dou Qing said, "Sister, did you really buy our donkey from the county magistrate?"

Dou Hua nodded, "Yeah, at that time he was still a scholar, and he sold donkeys to pay for the travel expenses to go to Beijing to catch the exam. Now in high school, he can be regarded as proud and proud of his ancestors, but you just need to know these things. Don't tell others outside, after all, it's not a glorious thing .”

"Sister, I've made a note." Dou Qing said.

"Eldest sister, I want to take the exam in Beijing like the county magistrate. Would you be happy to honor my ancestors?" Dou Lin ran out of the house, threw himself at Dou Hua's feet, and asked with a small face.

"Of course I'm happy, our whole family will be happy, even my parents will be happy when they know about it." Dou Hua said, "When did you wake up? Didn't you sleep?"

"I woke up early, and when someone called the door, I heard it in a daze. I woke up and wanted to get out of the kang, but my second sister stopped me, and I couldn't even go to the toilet to pee." Dou Lin was aggrieved A small face said.

"Your second sister did the right thing. Officials came to the house. Why do you join in the fun and offend them, but you will be punished." Dou Hua said.

"No, Eldest Sister and the County Magistrate know each other, they dare not beat us." Dou Lin is smart and quick thinking.

At this time, Dou Cui also led Dou Hong, who had just woken up, out of the room, "Sister, they are all gone? Can I help you?"

"How could they embarrass Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister knows the county magistrate." Dou Lin opened his mouth and said.

"Okay, don't talk about getting to know the county magistrate, just met once, don't talk nonsense outside, he is an official, we are citizens, our identities are very different." Dou Hua warned.

"Well, I understand, don't talk about it outside." Dou Lin said obediently.

In view of the homicide case, Dou Hua gave a few more instructions, asking them to pay attention when playing, not to leave too far away from home, run when they can run when they encounter bad guys, and shout if they can't run away, Dou Lin He and Dou Hong are too young, so we should remind them more.

Dou Hua also wondered if the dead person belonged to Doujia Village?She hoped in her heart that it wasn't from her own village, no matter which family died, it would be unfortunate.
