Madam's delicate chin trembled slightly, then she calmed down and looked at Lao Liu with a weak expression, her eyes immediately turned red.
"How would I know...that night...I already blamed myself a lot..."
Lao Liu panicked and quickly moved to Madam's side to separate her from Xiaolan Moli.
"You two are too direct. Madam has always been kind to others and will not be pregnant..."
"If you have to ask me to identify someone," Madam raised her head and interrupted Lao Liu, her bright eyes sparkling with tears. She looked really endearing, "Brother Huo did have a quarrel with someone a few days ago, but...
, it’s...it’s just a small thing.”
As the lady spoke, her cheeks turned slightly red.
"Which one is it?"
"What's going on?"
Xiaolan and Jasmine asked at the same time.
The lady raised the fan and lightly covered her mouth and nose. Xiaolan felt that the lady's gentle eyes like waves swept across her.
"If they have any clues, the two masters can go find the real sister-in-law and ask her."
After saying that, Madam glanced at Lao Liu, and before Xiaolan could ask any other questions, Lao Liu led the two of them out of the east wing.
"The real sister-in-law is..."
"She is the daughter-in-law of brother Huozhen in the east of the village," Lao Liu said to Xiaolan. "From what I heard from my wife, she had trouble with the village chief...but the Huozhen family does have a troublesome temper..."
"She has a bad temper?" Jasmine also asked.
Lao Liu looked Jasmine up and down, "What's wrong with Master Fengmu? A few days ago, my innocent sister-in-law... she even had a few quarrels with the two of you."
"Ah——" Xiaolan pretended to remember, "That is the real sister-in-law."
"Yes, oh," Lao Liu nodded with a smile, "A real sister-in-law has a bad temper, but a good heart."
Xiaolan agreed absentmindedly, but what she was thinking about was that she just had a fight with someone a few days ago, and if she asked her if she was the murderer today, she always felt like she would be kicked out of the house.
Following Lao Liu's rampage, the group of people soon arrived at the easternmost part of the village. Looking outside, they saw a dense and quiet green bamboo forest. There was a narrow and winding path in the forest, which went deep into the bamboo forest.
"Brother Huozhen?" Lao Liu stood in front of the one-meter-high Huangzhuyuan gate, lowered his voice and shouted into the yard, "Brother Huozhen, are you there?"
"Why are you looking for him?"
A loud and sharp roar suddenly sounded from inside the door of the hut, startling all three of them.
With a bang, the mahogany door of the hut was kicked open, and a thin and short red figure appeared in the door.
"What are you doing?!" The petite Sequoia woman held the sewing dustpan in her arms and pointed at Lao Liu's nose with her other hand and yelled, "It's just you bunch of shits who come to him every day, he's home."
If you don’t care, your heart is wild. I think you are doing it on purpose! You just want to bring the fire to the worst!..."
The real sister-in-law became more and more angry as she spoke. She simply threw away the dustpan and rushed towards the three of them with her arms raised.
Are you going to get beaten for not even asking?
Xiaolan grabbed Jasmine and quickly hid behind Lao Liu.
"Hey brother and sister, brother and sister, what are you doing? The two masters are watching." Lao Liu quickly grabbed the real sister-in-law's slender wrist through the bamboo door, "Let's come to him to ask something, and after we finish asking, we will leave...
"
"Him? He's crazy now. He doesn't know anything!" After hearing this, the real sister-in-law slowly lowered her raised hands, "See what you can come up with."
The real sister-in-law opened the bamboo door and led the three people into the tightly closed cabin.
"Just in time, I'll let Master see what kind of crazy disease my Huo Zhen is." Zhen's sister-in-law turned a few corners and stopped in front of a small ebony door. "Is there any cure? I don't know if this is cured."
What’s going on? I was called out by you guys a few days ago, and this is what happened when I came back.”
I saw a man huddled in the corner of the small dark room. In this warm season of spring and summer, the man was wearing a thick black long coat, hiding at the base of the wall, holding his sleeves tightly with both hands.
, trembling desperately.
"Brother Huozhen!" Lao Liu shouted and rushed over, "Brother Huozhen, it's me, Brother Liuzi, what are you doing...what is happening..."
Xiaolan and Jasmine also quickly came to Huozhen's side.
Huo Zhen gently raised his face, which was bent between his knees, and looked deeply at Lao Liu. His face was extremely pale, and beads of sweat streaked down his temples.
"Liu...Brother Liuzi..."
"Hey - hey, it's me, brother, what's going on," he said, looking up at his real sister-in-law anxiously, "What's going on, brothers and sisters?"
When the real sister-in-law saw her husband like this, distress and tenderness welled up in her eyes. She quickly looked at Jasmine and asked, "Master, do you know what's going on? I, a countryman, have never seen this before..."
The two of them were staring at each other, not knowing anything.
Xiaolan squatted down and said, "Lao Liu, where did you really go with Huo Zhen a few days ago?"
"I...I haven't gone anywhere." Lao Liu also sweated on his forehead. "It was the village chief's birthday a few days ago. All the married men in the village had to go to pay their respects. My brother Huozhen and his sister-in-law
We got married half a year ago, and we were the ones who led the first birthday greeting... But then I drank too much, and I don’t know what happened to Brother Huozhen..."
"Then something must have happened later!..." The real sister-in-law clapped her hands on her thighs and shouted with a hint of tears.
"Sister-in-law Zhen, don't worry," Xiao Lan stood up, lowered her head and asked Lao Liu, "Lao Liu, do you remember who else was beside Huo Zhen that night besides you?"
"There was also Huo Si Mao who came to see him that night," the real sister-in-law shouted first, "and there was also..."
"A true sister-in-law, a..."
As soon as Jasmine called out her name, she saw the strange look in her real sister-in-law's eyes and quickly reacted.
"Brothers and sisters, tell me one by one," Jasmine pressed her palms down steadily, "We will definitely help you cure Huozhen...brother."
After discussion, several people determined the list of people who might be related to this matter. The three of them gave a few instructions and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Xiaolan turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this why you went to the village chief?"
After receiving a positive answer, Xiaolan nodded, and the three of them walked towards the first house on the list under the sad eyes of the real sister-in-law.
"But this Huo Zhen is really a handsome guy," Jasmine couldn't help but say as she walked. Seeing Lao Liu pricking up her ears, she quickly changed her words, "He's a handsome young man, um..."
Xiaolan also remembered that face. Although it was only raised for a moment, Huozhen's angular jaw and beautiful facial features were still fully exposed.
"The real sister-in-law is also a beauty." Xiaolan blurted out, and then realized that in this world, she was very popular with girls, and it seemed that she shouldn't say that, like a gangster.
"Brother Huozhen and his younger siblings were originally the golden boys and girls of our village." Lao Liu finally showed a relieved smile.
Xiaolan recalled the beautiful girl who threw away the dustpan and hit people with her fists.
Before the picture was completely repaired, Lao Liu spoke.
