Yo, grandpa is here

Chapter 253 Narrowing the Scope of Investigation
When several children saw Qingqing checking the fire fighting there, they gathered around one after another.

"Do you guys know who has a firefighter in the village?" Qingqing asked.

Ermao and Dafa looked at each other and shook their heads.

The two brothers thought for a while, and the elder brother Yu Cun replied: "I have one at home, but it seems that my mother used it to scoop up chicken food."

"Oh, why did you change it to ladle?" Qingqing asked.

The younger brother Yu Cai rushed to answer: "My mother said that this was cheated by the peddler, and it can't be used. It's a pity to throw it away. After much deliberation, it can only be used to scoop up chicken food."

These two brothers have a good memory and can remember these trivial things.

When they said that, Dafa also remembered.

"It seems that I also have one at home, but it has been thrown away for a long time, and it can't be used."

"Do you remember when you bought this fire fight?" Qingqing asked again.

The two brothers shook their heads.

"As long as we can remember, our family has used this to scoop chicken food. The handle has been deformed for a long time."

Qingqing's eyes suddenly brightened.

It seems that these fire pipes with questionable quality should be sold by the same peddler.

It may be used by apprentice blacksmiths who are not skilled enough to practice their hands, and the ones they make are unusable, so they are sold by street vendors in the village. Maybe the price was very cheap at that time, so many houses in the village have them.

The children said that this batch of firefighters with potential safety hazards has existed for many years, and many households in the village have them, which means that these firefighters have potential safety hazards, and it is not a secret.

Everyone in the village knew about this matter, but Qingqing and Buli came back from outside and didn't know much about this thing, so they treated it as an ordinary item when they received it.

Calculating in this way, the person who sent the fire fight didn't have no intentions, she did it on purpose!
Thinking of this, Qingqing's eyes became sharper, and she was a little puzzled.

In the village, who would hate her so much?
The fire fighting happened before the donkeys and others came back, so we excluded the donkeys who wanted to seize power, and the pedantic Man Shan-although Man Shan was a bit stupid, he was not a bad person, and he couldn't think of such a harm. man stuff.

Therefore, the one who sent the fire bucket must be one of the female relatives in the village. Who is it?

Buli came in with a bag of rice, and when he saw Qingqing holding a fire bucket, he pursed his lips.

"I have asked Dawu to check, and he will give me an answer tomorrow at the latest."

"Hey, when did it happen?" Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Just after the discussion in the ancestral hall in the morning, his daughter-in-law has a bad mouth and likes to go from house to house to gossip. It's just right to check this thing." Although Buli has been busy dealing with the "hukou registration" these days, he can trace the source of the fire. It is not a small matter in his heart.

Anything related to Qingqing's safety, in Buli's view, is not a trivial matter.

Qingqing gave a thumbs up approvingly, Buli is really good at using people, no one is more suitable to investigate this matter than Second Aunt.

As long as we find out all the people in the village who bought fire fighting back then, and then investigate one by one, we can find out who is trying to kill her.

After dinner, Buli led the children, and Hu Laoxi and his brother acted like guardians of the Dharma. A group of people drove the carriage and took the yellow book and set off.

Buli and Qingqing set up a trap on the medicine mountain. They have been busy for the past few days, so they didn't bother to go up and have a look. First, they went to the mountain to look at the trap, collected the prey, and then started to investigate from the village over there. No time wasted, time Coordination is very well done.

Qingqing originally wanted to go with Buli, but the family had to keep someone.

There must be big movements in the village and county today, and Li Liang who is in the city will definitely send someone to pass the news, and Qingqing will stay at home and wait for the news.

After Buli took the people away, Qingqing excused herself to rest because she was tired, and stopped Yan Meier and other visiting female family members at the door, closed the door, set up the table, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread out the Come to the map, reproduce it like this.

Drawing is a very delicate work that requires a measuring ruler. It just so happened that Hu Laoxi had it in the belongings he brought back from the cottage. He built a house before he went up the mountain. These guys have everything.

Qingqing borrowed the measuring ruler and copied the map carefully.

The original parchment scroll was not big, and it looked more eye-catching, so Qingqing enlarged it three times according to the proportion, and it took nearly an hour to finish the painting.

Seeing that she still had enough time, she restored a smaller one according to the size on the sheepskin roll.

In this way, you can keep up with the big ones when studying tactics at home, and it is more convenient to carry the small ones with you when you have to go out in the future.

Drawing book is one of her professional subjects, and she is quite handy in making it.

As soon as the two maps were finished, the second aunt came over, stood outside the courtyard and shouted:

"Grandma, are you at home?"

"Here, come in!" Qingqing responded, and quickly put away the map.

Second Aunt opened the door and came in, saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and asked curiously, "What are you writing?"

"I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time, take it out to practice, did you find out something?" Qingqing asked.

Mentioning this, Second Aunt's eyebrows beamed instantly, her eyes were full of complacency, she took out a handful of peanuts from her pocket, and handed them to Qingqing, she saw that she was about to tell a story.

Qingqing shook her head and declined her raw peanuts, pulled a basket from the kang, and handed the garlic peanuts inside to the second aunt.

The second aunt put the raw peanuts back into her pocket with a smile on her face, and grabbed a handful of them from the basket, her hands were not enough, and the peanuts were about to fall, so she used her chin to stop them, and there was a black line .

"You open up to eat. When you go back, I'll pack some more for you. Don't just eat for yourself, but also keep some wine for your Dawu. Don't hide it secretly. When he sees it, he will be angry and want to beat you up." , I will not speak for you."

The second aunt's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she muttered again: "Grandma Zu, I'm afraid you can read minds, how do you know that I want to hide it from that dead ghost?"

Qingqing snorted twice, is this still using mind reading skills?Second Aunt's habit of taking advantage of small things, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it in this lifetime.

These two couples are simply folk comedians in the village. How many jokes have been provided by their love and killing each other, Qingqing feels that if they don't hear the jokes of these two couples one day, Dayu Village will be boring.

The second aunt was cracking peanuts while telling Qingqing.

"I have found out everything Grandpa Zu asked me to investigate. This fire fight has been around for some years. I remember that when I first married in our village, a peddler came to sell it. At that time, many houses in the village bought it. My mother-in-law was still alive at that time, and she refused to let me buy it, she just couldn't bear to spend money."

The second aunt couldn't stop her chatterbox when she opened it. Like a resentful woman, she told Qingqing about her "history of suffering" when she was bullied by her mother-in-law. I'm afraid she will complain about her mother-in-law until dark.

"I've made some inquiries. Except for our family and a few others in the village, they all have this, but there are only three of them that still have this thing."
