Aunt Liu pushed the stool under her butt towards them. "Xiao Yang once complained to me, saying that Liu Lan kept pestering him and he didn't know how to avoid her. He asked me if I could give him some advice, but he got into trouble the next month. So when Liu Lan said that Xiao Yang forced her, I always suspected it, but there was no evidence, so no matter how much I said, it was useless."
"Aunt Liu, what do you think of Liu Chunming?" Jiang He suddenly asked.
"Are you talking about Liu Chunming?" Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Liu Chunming is an honest man. Although some of his words are hard to say, he loves his wife and children, so when he came out to testify, no one doubted him.
When Xiao Zhou was young, he had a very good relationship with Xiao Yang, so people in the village said that he deliberately gave false testimony in order to protect Xiao Yang. He was detained by the township government for seven days before being released. After Xiao Yang was sentenced, he didn't know what connections he used, but he left Wafang Village.
From that time on, the educated youths were not as close to the villagers as before. In addition, Liu Xi's daughter Liu Lan would cause trouble from time to time, so the relationship became as distant as you can see now. ”
"Then, how did Liu Chunming die?" Zhao Xiaoxue asked another question.
"It's strange. Not long after Xiao Yang was sentenced, he drowned in his own pond. He was no landlubber. It is said that when he drowned, his face turned blue and his eyes were wide open, as if he was frightened to death." Aunt Liu lowered her voice again. "At that time, some people said that they saw him talking to a dark figure in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, he was seen drowned in the pond the next day. They said that he must have done something wrong and was... that."
Aunt Liu said that it was a taboo, even though feudal superstition had been thoroughly cracked down on in this era and scientific research was advocated. But in the eyes of the older generation, these things all exist, and some things that cannot be explained are always attributed to ghosts and gods.
"Then do you think it's possible that Liu Lan is pretending to be crazy?"
Jiang He asked tentatively.
"I had guessed before that she might be pretending. I tried her two or three times and she didn't look like it." Aunt Liu pondered.
Hearing Aunt Liu say this, the two of them also fell into deep thought. At this time, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside, and then a familiar voice sounded outside, "Jiang He, it's so late, why don't you go home?"
"Lu Mingfeng?" Jiang He looked up at the sky. Because it was summer now, it got dark later and it was only a little dark outside now. He immediately gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"The little one is hungry and we don't know how to cook." Lu Mingfeng said expressionlessly.
"That……"
"I'm sorry for delaying you, Xiao He. Why don't you just go back? Just tell me when to take the corn out of the pot, and I'll just remember the time myself." Aunt Liu felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and she took the corn down from the eaves of her house and stuffed it to Jiang He after some persuasion.
"Xiaoxue...you..." Jiang He was a little worried about Zhao Xiaoxue. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the other party, "Aunt Jin Xi lives in front of the alley, don't worry about me."
"Don't worry, I'll ask Erniu to take her back when the pastries are ready." Aunt Liu quickly said there was no need to worry, "We can't lose this person."
"Thank you, Auntie..."
