As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 24 Marriage
There was only the rustling sound of a few people stepping on the stones in the air, and the mood of the few people could not be felt.

The few people walked for about half an hour. This mass grave is very large, and it will take more than an hour to walk around, but it is obvious that they are only going from the mass grave to Ritao County.

I don't know where it is, but Fang Wu took a step back and slowly squatted down, pushing the shallow layer of loess on the ground with his hands.

When Zhang Xuan saw it, he squatted down without any image, looked at where Fang Wu's eyes were staring and asked, "Horseshoe?"

"No, cow's hooves." Fang Wu looked at the soil in his hand seriously with his chin propped up, his eyes lost their distance, as hollow as the holes in the root of the lotus root.

Ji Xuan heard it, squatted on the other side of Fang Wu, and looked over.

Impressively, I saw a mark lying quietly on the ground. The child's palm was big, with sharp edges and corners, like a sunken circle, and the boundary was not very clear.

From a distance, it seems that there are still shallow traces of wheels, but they have obviously been cleaned up, and the footprints should have been neglected.

It's just that I don't know who the person who cleaned up the footprints was, the person who left the body, or the murderer who killed the horse, or whether the two groups of people were the same group of people.

"How are you sure?" Zhang Xuan hoped that it was a horseshoe, because that would at least show that the horse was still alive before entering the mass grave.

"A horse's hoof is a single hoof, which is semi-circular. A cow has a cloven hoof, which is recessed like this. The government transported the corpses in by people, and the soil is fine and easy to granulate. It is loess." Fang Wu spread his fingers, The few grains of soil on the belly of the finger are distinct.

Ji Xuan also added: "This shows that our guess is correct. The corpse was brought out from Zhouxue County and brought in by bullock cart."

Loess is the first choice for people in Ritao County to grow peaches, while humus soil is a common soil for people in Zhouxue County to grow vegetables.

However, only the people in Zhouxue County can feed cattle with a radius of hundreds of miles, and they are used to plow the land or carry some things.

"Why is the corpse thrown here? Does the yamen know the news of this person's death? Young master... I remember the death of such a disease. The yamen has help. Why do you drag it to the mass grave? Or is it another matter? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Xuan was sitting down on the ground and talking, but Ji Xuan looked over, quickly squatted up, biting his lip and muttering.

This thing is so strange here!Obviously they appeared together, according to common sense, they should be investigated together.

But looking at it now, there is no one to contact. The people in Zhouxue County are not considered rich, and this kind of vegetable seller who earns the difference is working hard. How can he not care about the government's help and money?

Moreover, the people in Zhouxue County hide when they see the horses. No one dares to bully those who have no power and power, but if they are powerful, why throw a vegetable dealer who died normally Mass grave.

After dragging the yamen and finding the family members, it was settled in a few clicks. A vegetable seller would not be looked down upon at all.

"Check slowly, you can always find out." Ji Xuan patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and said.

He knew that Zhang Xuan's short-temper problem had occurred again.

Nothing strange was found along the way. They entered the field, and more people raised cattle in this area.

As they walked, they would occasionally ask the people nearby to see if they knew what was going on.

But nothing useful was found.

"Come on, it's getting dark, or it will be like this today." Zhang Xuan was really annoyed, and said while holding the soil.

Fang Wu looked at the two of them, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm a little thirsty, do you want to drink some water, and I'm making plans?"

Ji Xuan didn't speak.Just staring at the yard in the distance.The yard was bare, it didn't look like someone's house, but the swill that hadn't dried up above the door clearly told Ji Xuan that someone was inside.

Zhang Xuan followed Ji Xuan's eyes for a second, then nodded silently, strode up to knock on the latch and said, "Is Aunt Zhang at home?"

Zhang Xuan's voice was loud, and he couldn't hear any discomfort.

Fang Wu listened and walked over subconsciously.Ji Xuan stared at the yard, got off the stone and followed.

"Here I am."

Soon a woman in her forties or fifties came out of the yard.The aunt's eyes were swollen, and the clothes on her body were dirty, and she hadn't cleaned them up at first sight.Seeing it was Zhang Xuan, he said, "Zhang Wazi."

"Yes, ma'am, I've come from here. I've been away for a long time, and I want to ask for a bowl of water." Zhang Xuan smiled, pretending to take care of him, and followed the aunt into the yard comfortably.

Aunt Zhang responded and hurried into the house.

Leaving three people alone in the yard, Zhang Xuan pulled Fang Wu to sit on a stool in the yard.

But Ji Xuan's eyes were fixed on their cowshed.

Walking into the yard, you can see more clearly, there is a calf in the cowshed, it seems that it has just been born not long ago.

It's just that the cow dung piled up not far away doesn't look like it was pulled out by the calf, nor does it seem fresh, it seems that it should have been there for some time.

Before I came and thought about it, I saw Mrs. Zhang coming out with a pot of water and several bowls.Called him: "Why doesn't this lord sit down? Sit down quickly and drink some water.

Ji Xuan nodded, turned around and sat next to Zhang Xuan, drinking some water silently, still looking in the direction of the cowshed from time to time.

"Aunt Zhang? I remember that you have two cows at home. Why is there only one left?" Seeing Ji Xuan always looking over there, Zhang Xuan asked strangely.

"Well, I sold the cow because of the bad harvest some time ago, so I only kept this one." The aunt said naturally.

Zhang Xuan nodded without saying anything. He raised his head and drank the water, then returned the bowl to the auntie.

Ji Xuan listened to drink water slowly, but no one noticed.

"Where's your little daughter? Why haven't you seen her? Are you alone at home?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask, one sentence at a time.

Aunt Zhang muttered, "Um, I'm going to live at her sister's house, and she probably won't be back for a few days."

This time there was a tremor in the words.

Several people sat for a while before going out.

After that, the three of them went back, but this time the three of them walked under the city wall and went back to the yamen from the city gate.

"I'm afraid you have to go home for the next two days." Suddenly, after entering the city gate, Ji Xuan said to Fang Wu.

"What's the matter, master. Isn't there a case?" Fang Wu felt a little strange, but just asked.

Ji Xuan remembered that Fang's family went to the yamen for the second time to look for her a few days ago, so she said: "Someone from your family said that your sister is going out."

"When did it happen?" Fang Wu was taken aback, remembering that day in the yamen, Ji Xuan asked her about her return home.

"The day you two went to the Ya school." Ji Xuan thought for a while.

Fang Wu smiled, and said indifferently: "I see, I will go back in a few days."

Ji Xuan responded by snorting with her nose. Although there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes, she didn't express it.
