I just moved to a new home and was busy here and there. Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
Counting the time that night, it was the day when businessmen in the space would come to collect cabbage. Shen Yuyu entered the portable space after dinner.
Her portable space had been upgraded to level 2 before, and her field of vision had doubled, but the expanded area was all uncultivated land and overgrown with weeds.
As soon as Shen Yuyu approaches the new land, the system will issue a prompt.
"You don't have enough gold coins to reclaim new land."
"You don't have enough gold coins to reclaim new land."
We are still short of money. If we sell the cabbage tonight, we will have enough gold coins to cultivate new land.
Just as we were preparing to harvest the last crop of cabbage, the traveling uncle came wearing a bamboo hat and rocking a wave drum.
Shen Yuyu happily went up to him, exchanged a few words with the uncle, and sold the cabbage to him for 400 gold coins.
"Wow, the land can finally be upgraded. I'm so looking forward to it." Shen Yuyu was excited for a while and walked towards the new land. After getting closer, the system prompted: "Do you want to upgrade the land to level 2?"
"certainly.'
System: "Beep~~The land is upgraded and the restrictions are lifted." Of course, all the gold coins on Shen Yuyu were taken away by the magical system. I don't know how, but they were just gone.
After the space was upgraded, Shen Yuyu looked around and saw that her surroundings were still completely white. She couldn't step out and didn't know what the scene was like outside, but her land had doubled in size and was about twenty square meters.
"Congratulations, girl, the land has been upgraded." The traveling man said with a smile, shaking his wave drum and preparing to leave with a load. Only then did Shen Yuyu think of a serious problem, and hurriedly stopped the traveling businessman.
"Uncle, I forgot to leave a reservation deposit. Can I make an appointment for you to come in sixteen days? The reservation fee will be deducted at that time?" Wheat can stand it, so it should be okay to come later.
The uncle said cheerfully: "Okay, no problem."
"Thank you, uncle."
After the merchant left, Shen Yue asked the system: "How much experience and gold coins are needed to upgrade the third-level space and third-level land." The system: "It takes 600 experience points to upgrade to the third-level space, and 1,000 gold coins to upgrade to the third-level land."
"Oh, it's not that easy to upgrade. It's doubled."
"But after Orchard Ranch appears, it should be much easier."
Shen Yuyu sighed while digging the ground. After preparing all the land, he tried to sow off-season crops, but failed because the space level was not enough.
Shen Yuyu was a little disappointed and finally planted a level 2 crop of wheat.
In the next few days, Shen Yuyu was busy with other things. She needed to be busy with her space and moved to a new home. She had no time to think about making money.
Ji Xun goes into the mountains to hunt every day. Sometimes he gets something, sometimes he doesn't. In short, his life is still difficult.
Shen Yuyu plans to wait until the space reaches level four, then go to the town to see if there is any money-making business, and then make a lot of money.
This morning, Shen Yuyu came to the wellhead to wash clothes. This was where women gathered, and they were still discussing things in the past.
"Has Shen Xi not been found yet?'
"No, Shen Wenguang searched in the town every day, and also went to the county, but he couldn't find anyone. I heard a couple quarreling in the middle of the night last night."
"I'm afraid Shen Xi just doesn't want to come out. If she wants to come out, who can tie her feet?"
"That's right, I'm afraid I'm still dreaming of marrying into the Wang family.'
"It's been so long, I'm afraid I'll be pregnant by the time I find someone."
"Wouldn't it be okay if I'm pregnant? It's impossible for the Wang family to not want the child in their belly."
"Even if you want it, it can only be an outer room."
"Outdoor rooms are also good. Rich people's outer rooms also enjoy glory and wealth."
Everyone was having a lively discussion when suddenly someone rushed over from the foot of the east mountain in panic, "It's not good, it's not good, someone is dead!"
"Someone died? What's going on?" Everyone at the wellhead stood up in a panic, looking at the man in disbelief.
"There is a death. Hurry, go to Shen Wenguang's house to report the news. His daughter Shen Xi is hanging in the cave at the foot of the east mountain...
The women were all terrified, and none of them had the time to wash their clothes. Some of them ran to Shen Wenguang's house. Soon, Mrs. Shen was being helped by others, stumbling towards this side, crying and howling all the way to the cave.
Shen Yuyu was no longer calm. A cave at the foot of the east mountain? Isn't that the cave they used to live in?
Where did Shen Xi hang himself? Isn't this too strange and weird?
Thinking about how he had lived in the cave for so long and considered it his home, and now someone died inside, Shen Yuyu felt extremely uncomfortable. He quickly picked up the clothes basin and took it home, then followed the crowd and ran towards the cave.
When she arrived, the cave was crowded with people, and Shen let out heart-rending wails in the cave.
"My daughter, you died so unjustly. Which beast killed you? Without you, my mother doesn't want to live anymore! Woo woo woo~"
Shen Yugu pushed aside the crowd and looked into the cave.
I saw Mrs. Shen sitting on it, holding the hard corpse in her arms. Through the light coming from the cave, I could see a pair of eyes that seemed to be staring at me.
Even though Shen Yuyu has been dissecting corpses a lot in modern times, it is still shocking to see such a familiar person staring at you after death.
After stroking his heart to calm down, Shen Yuxi squeezed in and looked at Shen Xi's body carefully.
Judging from the degree of rigor mortis, Shen Xi had been dead for at least 6 hours. Looking at the spots on her body, it seemed that she had reached the second stage of diffusion. It was certain that Shen Xi had been dead for at least 12 hours.
However, she was unable to come forward to examine the body, and the exact time of death could not be determined.
There are strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased. I heard that he was "hanged" in a cave, so he may have been hanged, or he may have been strangled and pretended to be hanged. This needs to be carefully examined.
Just when Shen Yuyu was in a daze, Shen was so angry that she fainted. Shen Xi's body, which was in her arms, suddenly rolled over from her body, and its stiff limbs almost fell on Shen Yuyu.
The others were so frightened that they backed away. Only Shen Yuyu squatted there motionless.
"What's going on, idiot Shen? There's something wrong with her.'
"Could it be that Shen Xi's ghost possessed him? Shen Xi had never dealt with her before he was alive."
"Look at Chen Xi's feet? Wearing a pair of red shoes will turn him into a ghost!"
The more everyone talked, the more horrified they became, and soon most of the people had left, leaving only a few men and a few bold women standing around.
Shen Yuyu, an atheist, would naturally not believe this. Shen Xi stared with unblinking eyes, his stiff arm hit her feet, and his pale wrists were exposed from his sleeves.
There are traces of binding on the wrists, so it can be roughly concluded that Shen Xi did not commit suicide, but committed homicide!
"Yu Yu, don't squat here and get in the way. Get out quickly.'
The person who spoke was the village chief Shen Wen'an. Seeing Shen Yuyu stunned in front of the body, he quickly asked someone to pull her out.
