After Gu Xin went down from the roof, she walked around the wall again.
When she got to the pigpen, she realized that she could jump over the wall to the big tree outside, and that's what she did.
"He Qiang, come over here!" He Gang was still slowly walking from the roof to the eaves and down the ladder when He Qiang was holding the ladder.
He Qiang was about to offer to help hold the ladder, but Gu Xin said, "He's a grown man, he can get down without holding the ladder. It's only a short distance, he won't fall, and even if he does, it'll be fine."
He Qiang had no choice but to go.
"Come up here! I'll pull you up!" Gu Xin broke off a tree trunk as thick as a baby's wrist with her bare hands, then jumped onto the wall, put it down, and pulled He Qiang up.
"Jump over!" Gu Xin threw down the tree trunk, clapped her hands, and pointed to the trees outside the wall.
"Huh?" He Qiang looked at the distance and hesitated.
"I heard that you brothers were specially brought from the countryside by Lord Qin, how come you can't even get onto the roof? You don't even dare to jump over such a short distance?" Gu Xin said with disdain.
"I'll jump!" He Qiang could accept others talking about him, but he couldn't accept others talking about Lord Qin.
Lord Qin was their brother's savior, the man they swore to serve to the death.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them again, jumped over, and clung tightly to the tree trunk.
"Yeah, I guessed right, this is pretty easy. He Qiang, you didn't even have time to do it!" Gu Xin clapped her hands and said.
"..." He Qiang was speechless.
The brothers weren't skilled in martial arts, not even as good as the head constable of the Jingzhao Prefecture, but they were very hardworking and loyal to Lord Qin. In their early years, they often didn't have enough to eat, so how could they have had time to practice martial arts?
"Don't be discouraged. I'll teach you how to easily climb onto the roof and chase birds in trees. You don't need to jump over here; just go down from the tree!" Gu Xin said, then easily leaped back into the house.
Next, she went to the kitchen, where the water in the kitchen water tank had been confirmed to have been poisoned.
She went out through the back door of the kitchen and looked at the pile of firewood. She rummaged around and found that the outside was solid, but the inside was empty, just as she had imagined.
She went to the pigsty again. Although the case had been over for a few days, and the village head had arranged for the villagers to take in and raise the Wang family's pigs and chickens, there was still some dried pig and chicken feed on the walls of the troughs. Gu Xin took out a dagger, scraped some off, and then called He Gang over, asking him to bring out a handkerchief to wrap up the pig and chicken feed.
She went to the dog pen, where there was a bowl. The bowl was very clean, with nothing in it.
She touched her stomach, feeling a bit hungry, so she called He Qiang and He Gang to go to the mortuary together.
After the carriage left, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu's carriage appeared from not far away. Seeing that Gu Xin left without any abnormality, it seemed that she was still quite used to it. Grandpa Gu was relieved and went home with Grandma Gu with peace of mind.
When Gu Xin arrived at the mortuary, Dong Xue shivered as soon as she got off the carriage.
Gu Xin put her arm around Dongxue's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Dongxue. I'm here, everything will be fine. The sun is strong right now, why don't we sunbathe here?"
Dongxue nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes. Young master, please be careful too."
Gu Xin smiled and then went into the house: "Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu, I'm here!"
Zheng Qiu was stitching up the corpse while sitting down. He Gang and He Qiang couldn't bear to look at her like that. Zheng Qiu was about to stop her when Gu Xin had already reached her.
