Chapter 70 Follow the clues

In the evening of that day, Mei You took advantage of the darkness and went to the door with a hundred pounds of wheat ears in one hand.

As soon as she entered the room, Meiyou asked her to take off her raincoat before she could say thank you, and quickly handed her a bowl of hot ginger tea.

In just these two days, Meiberry is sure that her own ginger tea is sufficient.

Instead of drinking it all yourself, it is better to find someone to share it with.

"It just so happens that our family hasn't had dinner yet. Would you like to stay and eat together?"

The pork rib soup cooked in the afternoon is now completely cooked. The pork is soft and tender, and the soup is white and delicious.

Previously, Wei Meili took the soybeans provided by Meiberry System and handed out a handful of bean sprouts. Today, she also put them in the soup to stew them together.

Now, the hand-rolled dough is waking up. Later, Wei Meili will flatten the dough, cut it into shreds, and put it into the pot.

Just by inviting Meiyou, Meiberry had to secretly swallow her saliva.

"No, I've already eaten."

After drinking the ginger tea in one gulp, Meiyou immediately replied.

She regretted what she said.

She didn't know if it was because of the hot ginger tea's ventilation, but the aroma of meat that filled the room immediately captured her mind as soon as she drank it.

It would be a lie to say that he is not greedy, but Mei You has said what he said, and now Mei You just wants to leave here.

Leave this place full of temptation.

"I'll go back first. The roads are slippery in the rain. When the weather clears, I'll carry some bundles of dry firewood for your family to keep for the fire."

Using a kang to dry wheat requires a lot of firewood. Meiyou felt that even if the Meiberry family enthusiastically borrowed the kang, they would not be able to afford the firewood.

"Okay, then I will accompany you up the mountain to chop firewood~"

When it comes to firewood, Mei Berry naturally thinks of Mei You going up the mountain to chop firewood.

Meiberry looked at the rain outside, and couldn't help but think that after the rain, it was a good season for picking mushrooms on the mountains.

Meiberry had previously prepared several packs of snake and insect repellent medicine at the hospital. Thinking about it recently, she has not been on the mountain for several days~

By the way, there should be a lot of honeysuckle blooming on the mountain. When this incident is over, my family can start the business of drinking wine. If you don't pick the honeysuckle on the mountain, it will be useless.

I picked it and saved a lot of money!

Mei Bei thought happily, so Mei You asked her to return the firewood to her house, so she subconsciously asked Mei You to go up the mountain.

At this time, she didn't notice the nervousness flashing in Meiyou's eyes when she was talking about going up the mountain after the rainy day.

"It's better not to go up the mountain these days. The mud on the mountain will be slippery after this rainy day. It will take some time."

"Oh? Yes."

After hearing Meiyou's suggestion, Meiberry didn't think much about it. She nodded in agreement and said she would wait until the weather cleared up completely before going up the mountain.

But after Meiyou left, Meiberry's little face fell instantly.

"What's wrong, girl?"

Mei Youqian had just put the wheat ears into the back room, but when he came out, he saw Mei Mei squatting on the ground with a slumped face, looking like she was autistic.

"I... no, it's the heroine who is causing big trouble."

Meiberry's tone was very serious, and then she became a little lifeless: "If the heroine is doing something big, isn't it also a big thing for those of us who check in?"

Just now, Meiyou suggested that Meiberry wait for some time after the rain stopped before going up the mountain. At that time, Meiyou didn't think there was anything wrong with the suggestion.

After agreeing to Mei You, as soon as she left, the system came over with this devilish mission——

[Ask the host to check in the famous scene "beat up the man in black and block the investigation", and be rewarded with a healthy body x 3. If the check in fails, the life span will be reset to zero.]

Another mission with terrible punishment!

…

"Ah, what did you girl Youyou do? Is anyone going to investigate her?"

In the evening, the whole family sat around the table with a bowl of pork ribs noodles.

Their family doesn't have the habit of being silent during food and sleep. Mei Bei was worried about this matter. She just talked to her father about it, but her father didn't put forward any very constructive suggestions.

So when the family of three sat down to have dinner together, they naturally brought up the past and told her about her mission.

"It shouldn't be investigating Mei You, but maybe the male protagonist?"

Her mother wondered why Meiyou would be investigated, but Meibei thought of Gu Pinglu, who had been gone for a few days.

Just now she was asking the system where the check-in was, and the system said it was in the mountains.

When we talk about being in the mountains, how can we not make people think of all this?

"Ah, why did this person leave so cleanly? He asked someone to come over and investigate... Doesn't this cause trouble for others?"

I don’t know why, but when Mei Berry listened to her father’s evaluation of the male protagonist, she felt that her father disliked him.

"Wait a minute, what does this reward mean? Does it mean that our family of three will become healthy?"

Wei Meili was more concerned about the reward. Mei Li was also confused about this reward before, and only after asking the system did she dare to confirm it.

"Well, it's just like what you think, mom. A family of three has a healthy body. For example, old diseases, hidden injuries, physical damage, etc. in the body will be eliminated, and the body will be completely healthy.

No, it won’t disappear just because of a small patient.”

Meiberry remembered what happened during the day and specially added this sentence.

As she spoke, she secretly paid attention to her mother's reaction.

Sure enough, when he heard her words, Wei's beautiful face flashed with joy, and he kept praising: "Oh my God, it's really a good reward!"

"Yeah, what a reward."

Mei Youqian never said anything, but he was happy in his heart.

Mei Youqian had previously suspected that he had some kind of arthritis, but when the rainy weather arrived, his elbows and knees felt a little uncomfortable.

The discomfort before was relatively small, but he really felt it on this rainy day.

Uncomfortable!

It's so uncomfortable!

Originally, she was a little worried about this disease, but now that she heard her daughter talking about this mission, Mei Youqian couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, little girl, no matter where you go to check in, dad will follow you!"

[System, how do I remember that there is no such plot in the original work? 】

Meiberry not only asked the system about the check-in location and time, but she also had doubts about the plot.

The system's reply is just because the plot is changing, and some events will naturally enter the main line and become famous scenes after they are generated.

It's just like the fact that their family is developing and developing without breaking away from the basic cannon fodder.

[When will that happen? Earlier you said it was on the mountain. Which part of the mountain is it? 】

[I will tell you half a day in advance when something happens.]

***

At this time, Xie Changxu, who was far away in Jinbai County, had just come out of the dungeon.

He was so full of blood that he came to him. Mr. Xue almost vomited as he watched him drink the medicine on time.

"You kid..." Looking at Xie Changxu, who was still seriously ill and had blood on his hands, Mr. Xue couldn't help but said: "You'd better practice some virtue!"

Seeing how he smelled of blood, Mr. Xue didn't have to think about the people imprisoned in the dungeon who must have been tortured by him until they were transformed into human beings.

"Your adoptive father did these things because he was divorced a long time ago... You are so young and have a lot of youth. You should not be trapped in this prison like your adoptive father. Otherwise, sooner or later you will follow the example of your adoptive father.

Following in my father’s footsteps.”

Mr. Xue earnestly hoped that the young man in front of him could turn around in time: "Didn't His Majesty also agree to your adoptive father? In the future, can you enter the official career through the normal imperial examination?"

Listening to Mr. Xue's nagging words, Xie Changxu didn't feel impatient. He stared at the garden scenery bathed in the rain outside the corridor in a daze. When Mr. Xue finished nagging, he turned around and took it from Mr. Xue's hand.

He drank the medicine bowl in one gulp.

Seeing that he drank the medicine obediently, Mr. Xue left with peace of mind. Xie Changan walked through the corridor and entered the study alone, summoning the secret guards who had been waiting for a long time.

"Have you investigated the people who bought Xue Laojin's sore medicine a few days ago?"

"Young Master, all family information is here."

Xie Changxu glanced at all the information on the paper and suddenly let out a chuckle.

What a coincidence!

"After the weather clears up in a few days, I will send Mr. Xue back and send someone to Jinshui Village along the way.

The troops are divided into two groups, one is to investigate the third son of the Mei family, and the other is to go directly to the back mountain to investigate the situation in the mountain."

Mei Youqian: Why are all the male protagonists in female novels so rubbish? After leaving, there are still a lot of things to deal with?

Gu Pinglu:???

Xie Changxu:……
Chapter completed!
