Chapter 38

It doesn't cost much to send Cao Laowu to the government. The Yamen first imprisons him, and then sends someone to verify him. It will take at least two or three days for the verdict to come down, so Li Changting can go and return quickly.

He rushed home and saw a hoe on the side of the grape shelf at first sight.

There is no farm work these days. Naturally, the hoe has not been ground. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a little rust on it and the edge is not sharp.

In addition, Cao Lao Wu shed so much blood, even if the blood on the hoe was washed clean, the blood on the wooden handle of the hoe might not be so easy to clean up, how could there be no trace?

If the hoe is not something to hurt Cao Laowu, what is the real "murder weapon"?

Once a seed of doubt was planted in his heart, Li Changting suddenly turned his mind around and keenly noticed something he would not care about at all.

For example, he has been drinking the water from that stream for more than half a year, but recently he feels that the more he drinks it, the sweeter and clearer it is.

For example, does his family's food grow too well and too fast? There are always a lot of vegetables at home.

For example, where are the fences that my brother-in-law made before?

What's more, his injured right foot sometimes has a dull pain at night, but it hasn't hurt recently. The medicine he applied is still that medicine. The man also said that this medicine can only relieve pain, but it can't cure his foot injury.

Maybe all this can be attributed to his thoughtfulness.

But when Xu Qing brought plates of fragrant dishes to the table, Li Changting couldn't help thinking, where did the little girl learn her craft from?

He inquired that Xu Qing's father couldn't cook at all. Xu's mother and Xu's grandmother were a bit stingy in nature. They couldn't put so many spices in the dishes. Besides, they didn't seem to have heard of any family in the village who cooked delicious food.

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Qing pushed Li Changting's shoulder, "go and ask the two masters to have dinner."

There are two more guests at home. Li Jinmei's family also came. Xu Qing only made two hard dishes, and the rest were fried by Li Jinmei.

Cao Laoliu brought wine from home. It was home-made rice wine. Xu Qing asked for some wine balls.

"The glutinous rice made from wine can still be eaten like this!" Li Jinmei ate a mouthful of sour and sweet wine balls, her eyes were bright, "it's delicious, how to do this, teach me later."

Xu Qing nodded with a smile.

Other people are full of praise, only Li Changting is tasteless.

"The meatballs are delicious. I want them, aunt!" Xiaomeizi holds Xu Qing's waist in her arms. Even Li Tinghui comes to pull Xu Qing's clothes and looks at her eagerly.

"Children can't eat too much, they will get drunk." After all, it was wine. Xu Qing only served them half a bowl each. Unexpectedly, the two little guys liked it so much that they wanted to eat it.

But the children here usually don't have any snacks. This kind of sour and sweet food naturally feels very delicious.

"Aunt, I'm not a child. I'm seven years old!" Xiaomeizi said with a plump face.

"If you are not 15 years old, you are a child. How old are you Xu Qingdao.

Mei Zi began to count her fingers carefully from the beginning to 15, then cut off seven fingers, and finally looked at the remaining three fingers with a confused face.

"Eight." Li Tinghui suddenly said a word.

Xu Qing was stunned

No, maybe her cheap son is really a genius with autism.

Xiaomeizi was stupefied for a long time, and then she said, "is it eight?"

Xu Qing: "if the answer is correct, you don't have to eat it. Unless one of you can figure out the age of our two families and subtract 100, I'll give you half a bowl of wine balls."

Xiaomeizi is about to collapse when she hears that. Wuwuwuwu My aunt is so bullying! Big deal She won't eat

"Five." Li Tinghui said without hesitation.

How did you figure it out

Let alone xiaomeizi, it's Xu Qing and Li Jinmei. They are all stupid.

"Little plum asked:" Er, aunt, is my brother right

Xu Qing: "right."

"Yes! You can have wine balls! " Little plum raised her hand and cheered.

Li Jinmei looked at Li Tinghui in disbelief: "Huier, you How can it be so fast? "

Xu Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's him who counts. I played games with him before, so hui'er can remember it and blurt it out."

With that, Xu Qing ordered xiaomeizi's little nose: "two little greedy ghosts, if I don't give them to you, I'm afraid I'll have to be disturbed by you tonight, so I can't eat any more. OK, I'll give them to you and wait."

"It was you who played. I thought..." Li Jinmei laughs. Just now, she thought that hui'er is so smart. No, it's not smart, it's genius.

Fu, the two teachers, turned from shock to laughter, drank a drink and laughed off.Li Changting is the only one with a complex mood. What is complicated is that Xu Qingming is only 16 years old, but his behavior is mature and rational. He doesn't look like a 16-year-old girl.

As a father, of course, he knew that Li Tinghui had outstanding talents in some aspects. Maybe Xu Qing also guessed that, but he was not sure, so he took the arithmetic test just now.

For others, when they see that their children are so good at arithmetic, I'm afraid that apart from being shocked, they are just happy and proud, or they can show off a few more topics.

But Xu Qinggang lied and subconsciously protected Li Tinghui's genius.

Sometimes it's hard for Li Changting to believe that Xu Qingzhen is only 16 years old.

But he also thought, is not his heart, Xu Qing is not Xu Qing, who can be.

After dinner, the sun is setting.

Taking advantage of the afterglow, Li Jinmei's family and two masters went down the mountain. There was no spare room at home. The two masters went to Li Jinmei's house.

In the evening, Xu Qing took two buckets of water to take a bath in the room as usual. In the corner of the room, Li Changting separated a small space with a screen, in which there was a large tub half a person's height.

Xu Qing takes a bath here every day. When she takes a bath, the two men in the family can't enter the house, so they can only enjoy the cool in the yard.

As usual, Li Changting and his son sat in the yard, eating the watermelon he bought from the town today, and watching the stars with the night wind.

Today, however, Li Changting was quite attentive to the movement in the room.

The sound of bathing came faintly. About half a fragrant time, the sound of water stopped, and then the room was as silent as death.

Li Changting has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his ears are too ordinary. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape danger and catch prey in the deep mountains and forests.

He leaned his ears and tried to listen, but still could not hear any sound in the room, as if there was no one inside.
