"You guys have just made the new shoes." Bai Auntie smiled when she saw that Su Liang was wearing shoes made by her.
Su Liang specially paid money to ask Aunt Bai to help make the shoes. She didn't know how to do it and didn't have time, and the embroidered shoes she bought couldn't be used for martial arts practice at all.
Su Liang tried on the new shoes and they fit her feet very well.
Ningjing took the one she gave him back to his room and tried it out, and said it was just right.
"It's getting cold. Do you want to make a few more pairs of cotton shoes? You're going to the provincial capital in a few days, right? It's even colder over there!" Aunt Bai asked.
Su Liang smiled and nodded, "It would be best if I could help you make it if you have time. I have some materials sent by my friends here, let's see if I can use them."
As Su Liang took out the fabric that Xing Yusheng sent earlier, Aunt Bai took a look and said it must be very expensive.
The final decision was to make two pairs of cotton shoes for Su Liang and Ning Jing. Aunt Bai said she would go to the market tomorrow and take a look at the most fashionable styles sold in the shops in town, and then come back and learn to make them for them.
In terms of price, Su Liang has always been generous, but also measured, and has a tacit understanding with Aunt Bai.
When they agreed to make shoes, Aunt Bai mentioned Mrs. Niu's house.
After that incident, Su Xingzhe's second brother went to the government to collect his "corpse" and had it buried hastily.
Everyone in the village thought that Mrs. Niu was going crazy after being greatly stimulated, and there had been signs of it before. Who knew that she had been acting like a normal person these past few days, and was even kinder than before. It was strange.
"Let's not talk about her anymore." Aunt Bai sighed, "My second child is still thinking about Liu Huilan, and the boss also advised me. I have talked about several marriages with the second child during these days, but there is always something unsatisfactory. But I want the second child to marry someone.
She is a widow and the daughter-in-law who was kicked out by Mrs. Niu. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Su Liang just smiled and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing. It probably depends on fate."
"That's right, Liang Yatou, you're still a child, you won't have haircut until the end of the year, right? I'm afraid you won't be in the village by then. Mr. Ning is a very nice person, you..." Aunt Bai said, slapping her mouth lightly again, "
Look at me, I'm talking too much again. No matter what, you are all capable people and can live well wherever you go!"
"Thank you for your good wishes." Su Liang smiled sweetly.
Aunt Bai looked at her fair and delicate little face, delicate eyebrows, beautiful nose and cherry lips, and couldn't help but praise, "It's only been a little over a month, and I've seen you grow all of a sudden and become more and more beautiful."
Already."
Su Liang pinched her face and said, "Maybe it was because I was too thin before and gained a little weight recently?"
"Where did you gain weight? You are also very slim now." Aunt Bai said with a smile.
After Aunt Bai took some materials and left, Ning Jing said that he was going to Er Niu's house and had a question to ask Er Niu's grandfather Su Dakuan, who was his carpentry master.
In addition, Ningjing went to town to buy wood last time and came back with an extra set of carpentry tools to give to Su Dakuan as a thank you gift.
"I'm going too, to see how Grandpa Dakuan is doing." Su Liang changed into a coat and walked out.
As soon as they crossed the bridge, they met Mrs. Niu and her daughter-in-law, each carrying a bundle of firewood heading home.
When Mrs. Niu saw Su Liang, she stopped, twitched her lips, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Liang girl."
Su Liang nodded, and Mrs. Niu's daughter-in-law took her away.
Looking at their backs, Su Liang looked incomprehensible, "I always feel like something is wrong."
Then, Su Liang heard Ning Jing say the familiar words, "Her hall is dark."
Su Liang frowned, "Are you planning to kill someone?"
Although many people had grudges against Mrs. Niu, they would not harm her. She would not commit suicide, otherwise she would have died long ago.
On the way to Er Niu's house, Su Liang had been thinking, if Mrs. Niu wanted to kill someone, who would she kill? She and Ning Jing were also very possible. Mrs. Niu believed that Su Xingzhe's accident was caused by Ning Jing.
"It's time to work again." Su Liang sighed.
"Sister Su Liang! Brother Ning!" Erniu saw them coming, threw down his ax and went to move the small stool.
Su Dakuan walked out of the cave, with a smile on his old face, "Here comes the cool girl."
"Grandpa Dakuan's complexion has improved a lot. Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?" Su Liang asked.
Su Dakuan sat down against the wall, shook his head and said, "Okay, everything is okay, there's nothing uncomfortable. I'll be able to work in a few days."
Su Liang took Su Dakuan's pulse and told him to rest for another ten and a half days and not to be tired.
"What is this?" Erniu asked, looking at what Ningjing had brought.
"He gave it to Grandpa Da Kuan. You can use it later when you do carpentry work." Su Liang said with a smile, "Don't refuse. The carpentry skills he learned from Grandpa Da Kuan are considered as apprenticeships. The debts ahead are,
It’s also written off.”
Su Dakuan waved his hands repeatedly, "How can that be done? The debt must be repaid! I didn't teach Mr. Ning anything, he is smart on his own."
"No matter how smart he is, he was originally a layman. Grandpa Da Kuan brought him in." Su Liang insisted, "How can there be no reason to spend money to learn a craft?"
"I know, you are..." Su Dakuan's eyes were wet.
During the days when he was ill, Su Liang bought medicines for the patients and food, meat and vegetables for the family were all sent by Ningjing. Now there are still many, which are enough for the two of them to survive this winter.
"Don't think too much, your health will get better and your life will get better and better," Su Liang said.
After Ningjing asked Su Dakuan for advice on how to use mortise and tenon joints, the two of them left.
…
After dinner, Su Liang asked Ning Jing what to do about Mrs. Niu who was suspected of committing a crime. Since he had found out, someone would definitely die if he didn't find out.
"I'll go take a look." Ning Jing said.
"That's fine. I guess she might not be able to sleep at night, and she might be talking to herself or something." Su Liang said.
Su Liang planned to go back to her room to read the medical books sent by Mrs. Xing. Time was precious and she had to learn a lot, otherwise she would have gone out with Ning Jing.
Ningjing put away the dishes, boiled hot water, changed into dark clothes, and left home quietly.
Su Liang had arranged the medical books in order, took the first one, sat at the table and read it attentively.
After being immersed in the book for an unknown amount of time, Su Liang heard a slight movement in the backyard. Su Liang thought that Ning Jing had returned and didn't care.
After a while, there was no movement. Su Liang noticed something was wrong. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt dizzy and in a bad mood!
As soon as she pulled out the dagger from her sleeve, Su Liang's legs became weak and she fell to the ground. Before she passed out, she saw someone walking towards her...
Ning Jing returned home and saw Su Liang's room with the lights on and the door closed, just like when he left.
"Ms. Niu bought rat poison and planned to poison Liu Huilan and her family. She believed that Liu Huilan was responsible for the death of her two sons, and this culprit must be eliminated."
After Ning Jing finished speaking outside the door, Su Liang didn't respond and frowned slightly, "Su Liang?"
Still no one answered, Ning Jing's eyes narrowed, and he pushed Su Liang's door open vigorously!
There was an open medical book on the table, and there were no signs of a fight in the room.
On the wall is the martial arts training schedule set by Ningjing for Su Liang. The vase on the window sill was given by Xing Yusheng, with golden small chrysanthemums inserted in it, which Zhu Zhu picked and gave to Su Liang yesterday.
The medicine cabinet is also in Suliang's room.
The aroma of wild chrysanthemums and the smell of various medicinal materials are intertwined.
Ning Jing did not smell the incense, but he opened the doors and windows. Su Liang could not leave without reason, and it would not be easy to take her away, unless poison was used. The original smell in the room, and Su Liang's concentration in reading, would make her
She had no way to protect herself from the drugged plot.
Ningjing checked the backyard and found a footprint, obviously that of a man.
The cold moonlight cast a silvery glow all over the ground. Ning Jing held the medical book that Su Liang had read not long ago, closed her eyes, and stood under the eaves, thinking about who would attack Su Liang.
He did not see the black mist between Su Liang's eyebrows, indicating that her life was not in danger for at least three days.
Mu Luo? He is a shrewd man. If he wants to cooperate with Su Liang, he will not use this method.
Could it be Yan Shiba's prank? But Ning Jing thinks that she won't be able to solve Yan Yun Tower's troubles so quickly.
Ning Jing remembered that Wu Yun sent someone to ask Su Liang to treat Wu Huaian during the day, but Su Liang refused because he would not go to the clinic...
Ningjing turned around and went back to her room, and soon came out again. Just as she was about to leave from the backyard, she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Miss Su? Mr. Ning? I am Chang'an."
Chang'an was sent here by Mu Luo in the middle of the night and felt that he would be beaten.
Ningjing opened the door much faster than Chang'an expected. His face was facing the light and Chang'an couldn't see clearly, but he felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
"Mr. Ning, it's like this! My master has something important to do and asked me to come find Miss Su. Is she asleep?" Chang'an explained quickly.
"She's asleep, tell me." Ning Jing's voice was cold.
Although Mu Luo had promised to tell Su Liang in person, Chang'an felt that if he didn't tell Ningjing, he wouldn't be able to get in, so he explained his purpose, "It's the same thing that the master mentioned yesterday. Today, when the master was investigating, he found that Bei'an County
In the past three years, there have been unsolved cases of missing young women, and they are quite regular, one every half a year, but no clues have been found. This kind of strange thing started after Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son came to Bei'an County."
Ning Jing didn't say anything, and Chang An continued, "There is an antecedent. After Wu Huaian was injured on the battlefield, there were rumors in the capital that he injured more than two legs. His fiancée suddenly disappeared shortly after breaking off the engagement, and then he followed Wu Huaian.
Yun came to Bei'an County to guard the mine. The master suspects that the disappearance of the girl is related to the father and son."
"But there is no evidence, so we can't alert the snake. The master hopes that Miss Su will reconsider the previous proposal. This is not only related to the iron ore smuggling case, but also probably related to the missing women in Bei'an County in recent years." Chang'an looked serious.
"Yes." Ning Jing responded and closed the door.
Chang An frowned and looked at the closed door, "Mr. Ning, please be sure to tell Miss Su! This matter is of great importance, and you can't make the decision for her!"
There was no answer inside, Chang An sighed repeatedly and had to leave.
Ning Jing went to Su Liang's room, found the hammer and awl given to her by Yan Shiba, took them in her hands, and muttered inaudibly, "Wu Huaian..."
