Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 105 Toxic in the water
On the evening of the third day, when the sun went down, the whole village gradually fell silent again, with smoke rising from every household in the air, and from time to time a homing bird passed through the smoke and landed in the woods not far away.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled into the windows of the Ye family's new house, and when Ye Qiongdan scooped up the water in the water tank, it dyed the water surface light red.

Cold water was poured into the tub, soaking the polished rice inside.

When Ye Qiongdan lowered his head to wash the rice, he suddenly smelled a strange smell in the water.

If it was an ordinary person, I would probably not be able to smell this strange smell. It is only because Ye Qiongdan absorbs the vitality of the heavens and the earth to quench his body every day, making the five senses more sensitive than ordinary people, so he feels that the water is a bit strange.

She didn't think too much about it, she just filtered out the rice with a sieve, held the wooden basin, and poured the water into the ditch in the yard.

Some of the water was not poured into the ditch, forming a shallow puddle on the ground.

A little black chicken walked in outside the door. The little black chicken probably got separated from the hen. It looked into the house for a few times, then it walked in, went to the puddle and drank a few drinks. saliva.

Ye Qiongdan came to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and planned to wash the rice again.

When she got up after washing the rice, she realized that the little black chicken twitched violently a few times before falling to the ground dead!

Ye Qiongdan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and she yelled in the yard: "Has anyone entered our kitchen today?"

"What's wrong?" Snow girl came out of the baking room.

"The water in our house has been poisoned!" Ye Qiongdan said seriously.

"Today... no one has entered our kitchen today," Xue girl said with a blank face, "Could it be that someone spilled poison in the well?"

"That's unlikely. If you want to poison someone to death, the other party needs to throw a lot of poison into the well." Ye Qiongdan shook his head.

At this moment, the fourth uncle ran over excitedly, and said as if claiming credit: "Adan, Axue, have you drunk the water in the kitchen? I put a bag of sugar in the kitchen water tank, and the water Isn't it sweet?"

"White sugar? Is there any left?" Ye Qiongdan asked quickly.

"Not anymore." The fourth uncle shook his head.

"What about the paper wrapped in sugar?"

"I just threw it in the kitchen."

Ye Qiongdan hurried into the kitchen, and soon found a piece of crumpled oil paper behind the water tank, with some white powder still stained on the oil paper.

She brought the oiled paper to her nose and sniffed it, then nodded: "Yes, it is this poison! This kind of poison kills weeds and insects quickly, and if people eat this poison by mistake, they will miss the best treatment period." Hours, you will die within twelve hours. Little Fourth Uncle, where did you get this bag?"

"I dug it out of a mouse hole..." said the fourth uncle in fear.

"Or Xue Goudan took you to dig it out?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

"Well," the fourth uncle lowered his head pitifully, and twisted the corner of his clothes, "He...he said that my family loves me so much, I should repay them with some sugar soaked in water..."

Ye Qiongdan's face turned cold immediately, she took the hand of the fourth uncle and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xue's house!"

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" Snow girl said, "Since we didn't take the poison by mistake, let's forget it."

"It can't be a misunderstanding," Ye Qiongdan's eyes were very firm, she analyzed unhurriedly, "Do you still remember what Little Fourth Uncle said in the kitchen after he went out to play with Xue Goudan the first day? He said that Xue Goudan told him that mice would steal bags of sugar and hide them in mouse holes, which is obviously impossible. In Shanghe Village, everyone except Dafu’s family would hang sugar jars on high places , so that the mice can’t steal it. If the little fourth uncle didn’t lie, it means that this matter was a trap from the beginning.”

"But the Xue family has no grievances or enmities with us..." Xue girl frowned.

"So, this is murder with a borrowed knife." Ye Qinghan said firmly.

The whole house fell silent, except for Ye Qiongdan who had guessed the same place with Ye Qinghan, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"I agree with elder brother." Ye Qiongdan nodded, "So, I plan to go to Xue Goudan now and ask him to tell the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Let's go together!" Snow girl said.

"It's okay, my eldest brother and I will take the fourth uncle with us. The other party is still a child. If there are too many people we go, it will scare him instead," Ye Qiongdan said. The mastermind behind the scenes."

"I just can't figure it out, with whom did our family have a deep hatred to destroy the family?" Snow girl asked wonderingly.

Hai Yatou and Ye Qingyu frowned in confusion.

"You'll know when you ask. Hai girl went to the kitchen to wash some rice again, steam the rice first, and then I can cook when I come back." Ye Qiongdan knew that they were not in the mood to eat now, but the sky hadn't fallen yet Woolen cloth.Even if the sky is about to fall, you have to eat your fill quickly.

After Ye Qiongdan gave such an order, Xue Yatou smiled: "Since Adan still wants to let us eat, it means that this matter is not a problem for her! Don't worry too much!"

"That's right." Hai Yatou nodded.

"It's cold at night, come back early." Leaning on a cane, Ye Qingyu urged worriedly.

Ye Qiongdan nodded, and took the fourth uncle with the elder brother to the door of Xue's house.

After hesitating for a while, the fourth uncle stood at the door and shouted: "Damn! Damn! Come out!"

The Xue family was finishing their meal. After hearing the shout from the fourth uncle, Aunt Xue knocked Xue Goudan on the head with her chopsticks: "Didn't Mother tell you not to play with fools? The more time you play, the more stupid you become, but what should I do?"

"Mother, he's not a fool, he's quite simple. However," Xue Goudan scratched his head in embarrassment, "it's easy for me to be ridiculed when I play with him all the time. Starting tomorrow, I won't be with him." Play, mother, you can rest assured."

Xue Goudan secretly reached out and touched the dozens of copper coins hidden in his bosom, only to feel that the food in his mouth tasted more delicious.

"Damn! Come out quickly! I have something to tell you!" Outside the door, there was another shout from the fourth bedroom of the Ye family.

Xue Goudan frowned, feeling ashamed to be heard by the neighbors.

How could Aunt Xue not know what her son was thinking, she snorted coldly: "You didn't listen when I told you not to play with idiots, but now you know how shameful it is? It's too late! Look, who in the village doesn't know that you have played with idiots?" ? You still have to let him take the initiative to find you this time?"

"Mom, then I'm going out," Xue Goudan reluctantly put down the bowl, "in case he continues to yell..."

Xue Goudan went out, saw Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan at a glance, and said nervously: "I, I didn't bully your little fourth uncle, don't come to settle accounts with me..."

It's no wonder that Xue Goudan is so nervous, it's because the children who played with Little Fourth Uncle in the past have all bullied him.

And although Mrs. Ye doesn't like to see this stupid fourth son, but this is his own son after all. Those children beat him to the point of being injured all over his body. Don't they just ignore her old lady?

Every time Mrs. Ye saw that her fourth uncle was injured, she would immediately move a small bench and yell at those children at the door.

No one in the village could scold the old lady enough. At the end of the scolding, the parents of those children stopped and apologized.

It's not that Mr. Ye never told the old lady, but although the old lady is afraid of him, she still refuses to give in on this matter.

Compared with their little apology, Mrs. Ye loved her son more. After doing this a few times, the fourth uncle was locked in the woodshed and was rarely released.

"I didn't say that you bullied my little fourth uncle. I came to you for other things." Ye Qiongdan squatted down and stared into his eyes. A mouse hole?"

Xue Goudan nodded, then shook his head violently.

"Yes? Or not?" Ye Qiongdan emphasized her tone.

Xue Goudan remembered Ye Jigang's terrifying eyes, and shook his head decisively: "No."

"Isn't it? Then I'll go to your mother and say that you took my little fourth uncle and ate three packs of white sugar in three days. Do you think your mother will suspect where the white sugar came from?"

"I didn't steal the sugar from home! I beg you, don't tell my mother!" Xue Goudan was anxious and grabbed his clothes.

"Where did the sugar come from?"

"I can't say." Xue Goudan pursed his lips and shook his head again.

"Don't tell me, right? Then I'd better talk to your mother." Ye Qiongdan didn't say that the last bag that the fourth uncle took away was not sugar, but poison. A lesser degree of intimidation.

"Okay! Let me tell you!" Xue Goudan became anxious immediately, "Ye Jigang gave me the white sugar, and Ye Jigang taught me to make everything. He, he even gave me thirty copper coins! However, these I can't give you the copper plate. Look, doesn't Ye Jigang have any bad intentions? Maybe he just wants to show his kindness to you..."

When they heard the words "Ye Jigang", Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan looked at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in each other's eyes.

How could it be Ye Jigang?

He doesn't seem to have the guts to kill someone!
"Is it true?" Ye Qiongdan asked seriously.

Xue Goudan was frightened by her eyes, and nodded in a daze.

"I see, you go back," Ye Qiongdan stood up, and after Xue Goudan entered the door, he said to Ye Qinghan, "Brother, in a moment, let's go to the old house of the Ye family together. This time, it has been planned for a long time." The poisoning incident is related to the lives of everyone in the new house, I think they are all qualified to sue Ye Jigang, and then everyone sits down and discusses how to solve this matter."

"You're right," Ye Qinghan nodded, a dark color flashed in his eyes, "I didn't expect that we would treat Ye Jigang lightly after all. It turns out that he is the most ruthless person in the entire Ye family."

In comparison, Mr. Ye seemed much more compassionate.

"Yes," Ye Qiongdan said with emotion, "he is much more dangerous than Ye Jiwu."

The little fourth uncle kicked the stone on the ground sullenly, and said sadly: "How can Ah Gang be so bad? Fourth uncle won't like him anymore!"

After half a stick of incense, Ye Qiongdan took everyone in the new house to the old house of the Ye family and knocked on the door of the old house.

Piaoxu came out and opened the door, and when she saw that almost everyone from the second room and the third room had come, she immediately took a step back in surprise.

"Why are you all here? Is there something wrong?" Piaoxu subconsciously felt something was wrong.

"There is something important," Ye Qiongdan called into the courtyard, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, hall brother, you all come out! Let's all sit together and have a good talk!"
