Chapter 400: Catching a Premeditated Murderer
He stared at Ye Xiaomei in a daze. This sweet-looking girl had a very strange skeleton. He discovered this when he asked for directions yesterday evening.
Especially her back when she was walking, with her plump butt and slim waist, and her twisting posture looked like a snake.
When the white snake spirit is reborn as a human, both men and women are incredibly beautiful.
Ye Xiaomei's appearance and figure are the best in the entire Meihua Village.
Snake spirit! The old man immediately made up his mind, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
At the same time, Master Niu at the stove entrance rubbed his eyes and stared at the foreign master, blinking as he looked at him, muttering to himself:
"Oh, it looks familiar."
Ye Xiaomei acted like a younger neighbor, she took a small stool and sat down:
"He was the one who put that thing there."
While Niu Daye was still trying to figure out whether this person was the one who had saved his son from disaster ten years ago, upon hearing this, he exclaimed:
"He put it there? No wonder it looked familiar to me. Tell me what you put there."
Your grandfather had just lost his son and was very angry at the moment. It was no exaggeration to say that it was very aggrieved for an old man to see his son die young. He picked up a fire stick and was about to hit the old man.
The old man reacted quickly, he stood up and took two steps back, so that Master Niu's stick missed him. He lost his balance and almost fell.
The old man explained anxiously: "This is a witch. Do you believe what she said? How could I have been here ten years ago? You have to be truthful and have facts to tell you."
Ye Xiaomei supported Mr. Niu, took the fire stick from his hand and threw it on the pile of firewood.
Master Niu was useless, and seemed to have forgotten that the stick in his hand had been taken away from him. He pointed at the old man and said tremblingly:
"I remember now. It was you... Don't think I don't recognize you just because you grew a beard. It was you who buried something in the corner of my room and said it was a treasure. I gave you 800 yuan, 800..."
As he spoke, Mr. Niu stood up and slapped his thigh vigorously, and it was obvious that he was stimulated.
What did 800 yuan mean ten years ago? In that era, people did not replace their cotton-padded clothes after taking them off. They could wear the same cotton-padded clothes for the entire winter, and some people would not change them even if they got lice.
At that moment, Mr. Niu's tears burst out directly. It was the first time that Ye Xiaomei saw that tears could really burst out directly. He looked so heartbroken that he gritted his teeth and wished he could eat the old man.
The old man stood up in fear, the bench under his buttocks fell down instantly, and he pressed his palms down unevenly, trying to calm Master Niu's emotions: "No, big brother, she is just a yellow-haired girl, what can she do? Don't listen to her nonsense. I was just passing by, you recognized the wrong person, and besides, there are people who look similar in the world..."
"It's you, you still want to deceive me? If it weren't for you, would there be so many snakes on my homestead? Would my son die?"
It seemed that Mr. Niu had found the ultimate reason for his son's death, and he finally found a way to vent his anger. He jumped up and cursed:
"You black-hearted devil, I will beat you to death today."
Ye Xiaomei was startled by Master Niu's explosive power. She saw him pick up the firewood from the pile and raise it high to smash down.
"Hey, Uncle Niu, what are you doing?"
The person who came was Liu Zhihua, carrying food and steamed buns in his hands, and immediately blocked the middle with his back:
"Uncle Niu, you can't hit people. They are here to help us."
Ye Xiaomei watched all this calmly. The old man in her peripheral vision finally took some time to look at her. Ye Xiaomei could understand the look in his eyes. It was as if he wanted to eat her because she had ruined his good thing.
Over there, Liu Zhihua quickly took the time to put the rice and steamed buns in his hand on the stove, turned around and snatched the stick from Niu Lao's hand:
"Uncle Niu, let's talk it over. Think about it, we won't build our house anymore? We won't build houses for other villagers either? That's definitely impossible. You can't live in this woodshed for the rest of your life, right?"
Liu Zhihua was good at speaking and he suppressed Mr. Niu's arrogance with just a few words. However, Mr. Niu was still thinking about his son who had died. He sat on the ground in front of the stove, sobbing, covering his face.
The old man nearby saw that the situation had improved and felt that a helper had arrived, so he quickly said:
"That's right. Besides, what does a little girl know?" After saying that, the old man walked out angrily.
Liu Zhihua looked back at Ye Xiaomei standing at the door in surprise, and hurriedly called out to the old man: "Senior, I've bought the vegetables. You haven't eaten yet. Let's look for the snake later."
Ye Xiaomei looked back and saw him walking towards the so-called Qianwei, taking out a small shovel from the cloth bag on his shoulder as he walked.
The shovel seemed to have a telescopic rod. He twisted it a few times and the handle became longer.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. Could this guy be a grave robber?
The old man glanced sideways at the northeast corner behind Mr. Niu's house. He lowered his head, spat into his hands, rubbed them, and then used force to dig out the wet mud with a shovel and threw it aside:
"Little girl, I know you can do it, but you have to believe that experience is the key to success. Don't meddle in other people's business, or you will get burned."
Ye Xiaomei curled her lips and smiled slightly: "You are good at calculating things and I am good at calculating people. Which do you think is better, calculating things or calculating people?"
The old man paused and looked at Ye Xiaomei in surprise: "Who are you?"
"The daughter-in-law of the Ma family at the west end of the village, an ordinary person."
Ye Xiaomei stared at the hole he dug: "You are digging for black toads, right?"
“…”
The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and the hand holding Luoyang shovel couldn't help but tremble.
You can tell from the look in his eyes, he wants to say - how did you know?
But he opened his mouth and didn't say a word. He just looked at the innocent-looking little girl in surprise. The only thing about her was her pair of eyes as bright as stars. She didn't look like someone with deep thoughts or foresight. How did she know that?
Ye Xiaomei didn't keep the secret any longer: "You seem to have just arrived in the village, and you don't know what happened a few days ago. I have already sent the white snake away, but Master, do you know that you are harming people like this?"
"..." The old man stepped back, stumbling over the dirt he had dug out. He frowned and looked at Ye Xiaomei, pointing his right sword finger at her:
"Who are you? Not many people in this world have seen a black toad."
Ye Xiaomei had already figured out his thoughts. She fell to the ground and picked up a dead branch to poke the dead leaves on the ground:
"You're overthinking it. I know several people who have seen black toads. They are the black toads that dance with white snakes and dilute each other's venom. The nests of black toads formed by these black toad eggs were discovered a few months ago. You killed a person for a hibernating black toad. Is it worth it?"
The old man opened his eyes wide and didn't breathe for a long time. He looked very distressed and gritted his teeth and said, "Black toad eggs? Where can I find them?"
The old man dropped the shovel, took two steps forward, and grabbed Ye Xiaomei's wrist without letting go: "Hurry up and tell me."
