Song Chengjian was worried that Wen Shishi might accidentally let slip that she knew a lot...
He picked up Wen Shishi and handed her to Lao Ba.
Lao Ba understood, picked up Wen Shishi and walked into the courtyard, pretending to look for his eldest brother.
Taking advantage of the situation, Song Chengjian picked up the fish that was speared at the door...
As everyone gathered around, Song Chengjian explained the whole story.
The fishermen and monks looked into the courtyard but found nothing unusual. However, they noticed that the pond was indeed empty, and the entire front yard was soaked...
After a thorough cleaning, everyone must have been shocked when they looked at the ugly fish's body again.
"We don't recognize this fish. Has the Second Young Master seen it before?"
Some fishermen asked out of curiosity.
Looking over, others could indeed see that, due to ignorance, one could easily get pricked by this fish...
The Third Young Master was lucky to escape with his life because the Sixth Young Master was there, and he was also a highly skilled physician.
Even though it was already dead from being speared, the fishermen seemed worried that it might suddenly jump up and attack them again...
He pulled the children back two steps.
Following the story his elder brother had agreed upon, Song Chengjian only said that he had seen a description of this fish in a miscellaneous book...
It just so happens that the third brother was stabbed, and his symptoms matched, which made the connection.
The fishermen suddenly realized, "That makes sense. If the Song family had recognized it from the start, they wouldn't have touched it..."
One of the fishermen realized what was happening and suddenly asked, "The fish in the pond, besides those you caught yourself, were all given to us by us..."
I remember we were at the back of the line and had never seen this kind of fish before.
Even if it existed, it's impossible that it wasn't seen during the day.
I heard that the poison killed the fish and shrimp in the pond. Luckily, it has been cleaned up now, otherwise the children would have been terrified if they had seen it.
"They let him in last night."
Song Chengjian spoke calmly, observing the fishermen's reactions.
Everyone was startled, exchanged glances, and then someone asked Chen Hai behind them.
"Uncle Hai, did you arrange for patrols last night?"
"How could someone have come in without anyone noticing?"
"Luckily it was the young master of the Song family. They know medicine. If it were in our family, a child might accidentally touch it and lose their life!"
"Yes! But why did they put it in the Song family's pond?"
"Could it be because they have a pond outside their house, while we don't?"
"But we don't even have a door. Even if there's no pond in the front yard, they could easily come inside and put it in buckets or basins..."
The fishermen were discussing this when they suddenly stopped.
Since arriving on the island, the Song family has been kind to everyone and has gotten along well with the abbot and fishermen, helping to rescue many people.
I didn't contact anyone else. I heard that I, along with the abbot and monks, were taken to Limu Mountain, but since they were released...
If Sheng Li had intended to harm them, he wouldn't have waited until now, after they had come down the mountain.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, remembering another matter: who the Song family might have offended.
pirates.
Because they helped rescue the fishermen, the Song family took the lead and directed the rescue, saving everyone...
Not long ago, they also captured many bandits on the island and handed them over to the prefect of Qiongzhou...
After much thought, everyone agreed that this was the only possibility.
Chen Hai stepped forward and asked the person who was on patrol last night.
Two dark-skinned, seemingly listless young men lowered their heads.
"Speak! What happened last night? Didn't you find anything?"
"Yeah! No matter how many patrols we do, there's bound to be someone nowhere to be seen!"
"The young masters of the Song family are skilled in martial arts. If someone warns them, they might be able to catch the culprit..."
......
Song Chenghou was woken up by the noise and got up to come out.
The sixth brother kicked the blanket in frustration, intending to curse, but seeing his elder brother get up and leave, he covered his head with the blanket and barely managed to hold back.
Lao Ba was worried that he couldn't hold Wen Shishi back, so he carried her to the back kitchen.
The fourth brother, Song Chengliang, was cooking porridge for everyone when he saw Wen Shishi come in, so he ladled a bowl for her first.
Although it was just plain rice porridge, Wen Shishi was quite satisfied with it because she hadn't had it in so long.
After finishing the porridge, she wiped her mouth with her arm and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, the porridge you cooked was so delicious!"
Song Chengliang quickly put on a smile, "Want some more? Fourth Brother will scoop you another bowl?"
Wen Shishi nodded, her eyes sparkling, as she let the myna bird wipe her arm, removing the traces she had just left from wiping her mouth.
Without even looking up, Lao Ba asked his fourth brother, "Fourth brother, I'm hungry too, give me a bowl as well."
The fourth brother smiled warmly, "Want a drink? Help yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shishi laughed even harder, revealing two small dimples.
