Chapter 237

"Daughter in law, not them."

It's not them. Who would it be?

Looking at the two empty barrels, Zhang Man'er was suspicious that it was the villagers who did it.

These days, they buy foundations and build houses, which has caused a stir in the village. Some envious people are indispensable.

It's normal to trip the fish.

If they want to fish, they can go to other streams to catch fish. They don't have any opinions, but it's despicable to sit and enjoy the fruits of other people's work.

Anyone who put this on would be angry, but with so many villagers in the village, who did it?

Zhang Man'er's bright eyes narrowed slightly, like a cold wind passing through: "Xianggong, it seems that someone wants to target us? What about that? "

"Go ahead and watch. I've put the net back." Xue Chuan frowned.

Who gets up so early and steals his fish.

Zhang Man'er took him out: "Xianggong, take me to see the scene."

"Good." It's just dawn. Roosters crow in the village. The fields and mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist. It's like a fairyland.

The dirt road in the village is very quiet, with the fragrance of wild flowers between their noses. The grass on the side of the road is swaying with dew. After walking for a while, they feel that their trousers are wet with dew.

When he got to the side of the stream at the middle of the mountain, Zhang Man'er brushed away Xue Chuan's hand and examined it carefully.

Small stones on the ground, there are residual fish scales, shining in the morning.

After walking around the stream, Zhang Man'er saw a footprint on a stone: "Xue Chuan, come and have a look?"

She pointed to the footprints of this stone. The rest of the stones and shoes will not leave any marks on it. The footprints of this big stone are complete.

"It's a man's footprint." Xue Chuan made a comparison.

Zhang Man'er looked at the fishing net in the stream and said, "Xianggong, pull up the fishing net. I'll have a look."

When Xue Chuan heard the words, he pulled up the fishing net. Zhang Man'er held the net with his fingers and slid it inch by inch. After careful inspection, he pulled up a piece of gray cloth from the fishing net: "Mr. Xiang, have you ever worn your clothes?"

"What?" Xue Chuan grabs the cloth strip in her hand and his eyes light up: "daughter in law, this cloth seems to be from the sleeve."

The little daughter-in-law's eyes are really bright. She has found such a subtle place, which has great potential to solve the case.

At that time, he was just angry and hurried back. When he came back, he could find many clues.

Judging from this, this is not a clever thief. It is the first time that he has done something wrong, otherwise he would not have left two traces.

"Rags, shoe prints, who could that be?" Zhang Man'er felt his chin and thought quietly. Who is so red eyed that he wants to do it?

For a long time, she saw Xue Chuan's rope tied to his waist, and then looked at some small trees not far away, and her brain was bright.

Since the troublemakers are aimed at them and jealous of their business, they will surely come back again.

It's better for two people to dig a trap and get all the stolen goods.

"Xianggong, we'd better be like this." Zhang Man'er hooks his fingers and sees Xue Chuan come over. He attaches it to his ear and talks about the plan.

As soon as they hit it off, they soon separated and dug their own traps.

Xue Chuan was near the four corners of the fishing net by the stream. He used a rope to catch prey. The other end was connected to a nearby tree. If someone came to collect the net, it would be easy to step on the rope and immediately hang upside down on the tree.

The noose has been set up, waiting for someone who doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Man'er found some thorny thorns nearby and put them on the roadside to cover them with weeds.

In this way, if someone comes over, it's easy to step on these thorns. When they are punctured and left with blood, they can ask the village head to call all the villagers together to make an inventory one by one, and it's easy to find out the thief.

"Daughter in law, the trap has been set. It depends on whether the thief will come again." Xue Chuan said calmly.

If you don't receive fish today, you can't make canned fish. Then you can't go out of the stall today, and Xue Yu will have a rest at home.

Zhang Man'er said, "I should come here. I've picked up all the fish at one time. It's on purpose."

Xue Chuan said, "if you don't go and tell the village head and call all the villagers out, you can infer with that footprint."

"Don't, it's easy to scare the snake. The other party will not admit it."

"Well, I'll wait for a day." Xue Chuan doesn't want to trouble the village head either. He'd better catch it by himself and get all the stolen goods.

After Zhang Man'er went down the mountain, they pretended to have nothing to do with each other.

Without fish, other things can be sold. Although there is less, it is better than nothing. Just prepare more bamboo tube rice. Zhang Man'er went to the town today to see if there is a suitable shop.

As soon as he talks about the shop, Xue Chuan chuckles and tells Zhang Man'er that the shop is settled. Tiesheng has helped him a lot. After all, he is still a constable in the yamen, and the news is better than him.

With the help of Lian Tiesheng, Zhang Man'er naturally avoids many detours. He is very happy and goes to the town. They find Lian Tiesheng directly.

This shop is a corner of the West Street, covering an area of about 20 square meters. Looking at the flow of people at the door, naturally there is nothing to say. After all, it is the busiest West Street.

"Xue Chuan, great. This shop is the type I want."

Seeing that Zhang Man'er was satisfied, Lian Tiesheng said with a smile: "sister in law, I found it specially according to your request. There are many shops in Qingshui town. It's difficult to find a suitable one. "

"Brother Lian, thank you so much this time. I'll take care of your bamboo tube rice later." Zhang Man'er said boldly.

"No, it's not easy for you to do some small business. If you want to make such a clear calculation, I dare not come in the future." Lian Tiesheng said with a smile.

"How about a cost price?"

"That's about the same."

The three said a few words at the door. Before they stepped in, the shopkeeper came out and said, "what do you want to buy? You can go into the shop and have a look at it at will. "

This is a kind-hearted middle-aged man, about 40 years old, dressed in neat and generous clothes. It seems that passers-by who come and go will warmly greet him: "everyone, let's go and have a look. The grocery store in this shop is of high quality and low price

Zhang Man'er first stepped into the shop and looked at the furnishings in the shop. He mainly sold pots and pans, as well as some daily necessities that every household could use.

Isn't their family building a new house? All of these things are useful.

"Xianggong, you see we can use all of these. Would you like to buy some?"

Xue Chuan naturally has no opinion. He casts a look that you are in charge of everything.
