Chapter 381 Wild Mandarin Ducks in the Woods
Chapter 381 Wild Mandarin Ducks in the Woods
"By the way, I checked the gambling house when I went to the city this time, and they said that Shitou was indeed there when Tiezhu was murdered."
"He didn't lie, so he's cleared of suspicion."
"But the people in the gambling house said that he had bad luck in gambling. He lost nine out of ten times and never won any money."
"Then how did he repay the money owed to Xu Xiaoru and Tiezhu?"
"That's unknown. Maybe he has other ways to make money."
Lu Qingchen sneered sarcastically, "Him?"
It's not that he looks down on people, but with Shitou's behavior, he can't even make a thousand taels by stealing, let alone paying back the money!
Qin Miaoxi's eyes were full of mystery. She took advantage of the night to lead the way silently.
Lu Qingchen looked at the vast woods around him and couldn't tell the direction, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
[My wife brought me to such a secluded place. Could it be that she wants to hide in the woods?]
[Alas! Although we are a legitimate couple, this isn't right, is it? It really damages the reputation of our Xuanping Marquisate. Of course, I can be shameless, but I don't know if my wife can let go.]
I never thought I'd have such a wild experience in my life. My wife is so good to me.
Qin Miaoxi, who was walking in front, listened to the man's increasingly distorted thoughts and used all her strength to control her furious fists. If she didn't beat this guy one day, he would go crazy.
However, her forbearance only made Lu Qingchen think more and more outrageous, and finally he couldn't help but growl: "Shut up."
"Huh? I'm not ready yet."
Qin Miaoxi looked down at her clenched hands and asked dangerously, "What are you doing?"
Lu Qingchen felt dizzy when he felt the softness in his palm. How could he have taken action? His wife might like him to take the initiative, but his hands had their own consciousness and rubbed uncontrollably.
"Yeah~"
A soft moan broke the silence in the forest. Lu Qingchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He grabbed Qin Miaoxi's hand and squeezed it hard, saying tenderly, "Wife, don't make such seductive sounds. I can't stand it."
A certain woman blushed until blood dripped from her face, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "It's not me."
[Well, he understood. His wife was just shy.]
"I said it wasn't me."
"Wife, it's just the two of us here..."
Before he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the distant forest.
"Let me go. You promised him not to touch me."
"Little slut, I missed you so much. Now he's dead, why should I let you go?"
"Then why are you so anxious when you wait for them to take it off?"
"Haha! I knew you missed me."
Lu Qingchen pursed his lips in embarrassment. How could such a wild couple come together so late at night and cause his wife to misunderstand him? His crime was unforgivable.
[Damn it, you should die with them. First it was Tiezhu, and next it will be you.]
Qin Miaoxi stared blankly at the front. Isn’t this voice...?
Lu Qingchen happened to be standing opposite her and mistakenly thought that she was looking at him affectionately.
[Why does my wife look at me this way? ]
[Did she kiss me? Should I close my eyes?]
[I'm so nervous. How about I kiss you first? I'm a man after all.]
Thinking of this, he moved forward with a pout.
Qin Miaoxi glanced at the approaching face with disdain, pushed it away with a slap, and whispered, "Didn't you recognize whose voice it was?"
Lu Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes, and all the romantic thoughts in his heart disappeared.
"what sound?"
Qin Miaoxi blinked, a hint of mischief flashed across her face, and the lazy ending of her tone was long and drawn out, "Seductive voice."
Lu Qingchen: "..."
Oh no, it feels like my wife is teasing me.
"I'll go over and take a look."
"No, wife, I'll go. I'm not afraid of getting stye."
"You want to see a woman's body?"
Lu Qingchen: "..."
This is a fatal question!
He licked his face and smiled: "No, it's better for us to be together."
When the two found the person who spoke, they saw that they were about to get to the point.
Lu Qingchen immediately lowered his head and avoided looking at the inappropriate thing, but when he turned around, he saw his wife watching with great interest.
He immediately covered her eyes and warned her softly, "If you want to see something, look at mine. His is so small and thin, what's so good about it?"
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
Is that what she's looking at? This person's thinking is extremely unhealthy. He needs a good education when the time comes.
"Did you see who that woman was?"
"No, my eyes are only on my wife, and I am loyal only to you."
Although I was speechless, I was inexplicably pleased.
"It was the little woman who provided the clue."
"what?"
Lu Qingchen still didn't remove the hand covering his eyes. He just pricked up his ears and listened again and again, and replied in the same low voice: "It really is her. Isn't she a widow? Why is she fooling around with a man in the middle of the night?"
"Is the stone with her?"
"Shi..." Qin Miaoxi immediately covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down."
Lu Qingchen nodded softly, but he couldn't understand why the village scoundrel was involved with the young widow.
After a cup of tea, the yellow and high-pitched voice calmed down.
Shitou gasped and said, "Give me some silver."
The little woman's voice was much calmer. "I have no money left."
"How could you not have it? Give it to me quickly. I'm waiting for the silver and it depends on my fate!"
"I think you're just waiting for the silver to come back. You know very well that since that man died, it's been hard for me to even have food to eat, let alone silver."
Shitou asked again, unconvinced, "Really?"
"No means no."
With a rustle, the little woman put on her clothes and prepared to leave.
"wait."
A silver hairpin was inserted in her hair, and Shitou kissed her fiercely on the cheek. "It's so beautiful. I bought it especially for you."
A happy smile appeared on the little woman's face, and she snuggled up to his chest and patted it lightly.
"I really have to go back."
"Okay, I'll come back to you when I make enough money."
The two walked out of the woods and parted ways. Qin Miaoxi pointed at the stone, indicating Lu Qingchen to follow it, while she caught up with the young woman.
The little woman did not go home, but went to a cemetery and sat down in front of a tombstone as if she was familiar with the place.
Qin Miaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly and used the moonlight to see the words clearly on it - Tomb of Xu Xiaoru.
"Mr. Xu, you are the only good person in the village. Ever since you left, everyone wants to bully me. It's so hard to live."
"A good person like you shouldn't die in such an unclear way... Maybe I should follow you..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, intermittent and inaudible. Suddenly, a fire ignited in front of her, and she built a bonfire in front of the tombstone.
The red firelight reflected on her face, but she couldn't help but let her tears flow down.
She cried and then laughed, took off the silver hairpin from her hair and threw it into the fire, making a crackling sound.
The silver hairpin deformed and melted in the fire, and finally turned into a pool of silver liquid and solidified into a block.
The little woman used a stick to pick up the silver from the bonfire, looked at it and sneered, "You want to please me with just a piece of silver, damn thing."
She dug a hole in front of the tomb, buried the silver in it, and then kowtowed three times towards the tombstone with a solemn expression.
"After the bad guys get their comeuppance, I'll come and make amends to you."
Qin Miaoxi looked at her departing figure, walked slowly to the tombstone, and was immediately attracted by the different colored soils on the ground.
She dug a few times and found, in addition to the silver nugget that had just been buried, jade pendants, gold, hair crowns, finger rings, etc., all of which were men's items.
Judging from the burial depth and the color of the soil, the bodies were buried at different time periods after burial. Who buried them?
