Hearing this number, Village Chief Zhao's eyes flashed brightly.

But soon, his fluctuating mind sank, and he refused again: "You should find another home, and we will not look for you in Dashan Village in the future."

He has learned a lot from a pitfall, and now he has a stable business. The cooperation with Merchant Li seems to carry a lot of risks.

Choose one of the two, of course he would not choose Merchant Li.

"Village Chief Zhao!" Merchant Li's face was completely blackened. He didn't expect that he raised the price to such a high level, but the old man still didn't agree, "You have to think about it. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop." .”

He stared at Village Chief Zhao, his downcast eyes were gloomy and cold, which was quite scary under the blue sky and broad daylight.

Village Chief Zhao glanced at his dark expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Please go back."

Look, if the negotiation fails, the true colors will be revealed.

Village head Zhao was very fortunate that he had just stood firm to the end.

"Hmph!" Not getting a satisfactory answer, Merchant Li didn't even want to pretend anymore, he gave him an angrily look, and said nothing.

"I'd like to see how long your fruit drink shop can last."

Seeing the back of Merchant Li gradually disappearing, Village Chief Zhao spat at him bitterly: "Bah, profiteer."

The arrival of Merchant Li did not cause much disturbance, and Village Chief Zhao forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

The season was just right, and Lu Xiyue taught the villagers to use waste grass and wild fruits from the mountain to soak in the pit and make a lot of fertilizer.

Seeing that Xiao Yunheng was in good health, he didn't stay idle. He often went hunting in the mountains with Uncle Zhou, and the days improved quietly.

After burying the last batch of manure, Lu Xiyue had just rested on the small stool when a light rain suddenly fell on her head.

She looked up at the sky, it was gray, as if it had been accumulated for a long time.

"What are you still doing in a daze, come into the house quickly."

A hand was placed on top of her head, and the indifferent light of the youth followed. Lu Xiyue squinted her eyes and ran into the room quickly.

Raindrops fell like beans after the two of them entered the house.

Lu Xiyue patted her clothes, feeling a little emotional: "This is the first time it rained so heavily since we got here."

Not long ago, I also played a game, but it was not big, and it stopped when the mountain was slightly wet.

"It looks like it will take a long time." Mother Lu walked to her side and said worriedly.

The remote mountain villages are no better than the capital city. When it rains, the roads are muddy and mixed with water, making it difficult to walk.

Lu Xiyue nodded: "Just rest at home for the next two days, it's nothing serious anyway."

"Come in, it's windy at the door." Mother Lu reminded her aloud.

It rained heavily for half a day, and it was past noon when the sun came out.

It was rare for the three of them to have free time, and they each lay on the bed to rest.

The courtyard gate outside was suddenly knocked.

"Miss Lu, help, Miss Lu!"

Lu Xiyue stood up abruptly, looked at Mother Lu, and both of them put on their clothes and got off the bed.

Xiao Yunheng has already opened the door.

Aunt Song was soaking wet and standing at the door covered in mud. She knelt down to the three of them with a "plop" and said, "Miss Lu, please save my family's An'er. My family's An'er was captured by the police."

Lu Xiyue was startled, and quickly helped her up: "Ms. Song, get up quickly, if you have anything to say, go into the room and say it."

Aunt Song hesitated for a moment, stood up and entered the room.

Mother Lu brought her a clean coat and hot tea.

"My An'er has a gentle temper and has never offended anyone, but just now, a group of officials broke into the shop and said that my An'er killed someone."

She didn't dare to delay, and held Lu Xiyue's hand like a life-saving straw: "Miss Lu, you came from a good place, so you must know how to save my An'er, right?"

Lu Xiyue listened in a daze, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will help if I can. You can drink a cup of tea first."

After drinking tea, Aunt Song calmed down and told the whole story.

It was raining heavily this morning, and there were no customers in the shop, so Mrs. Song didn't go to the shop, leaving Song An alone to watch.

Who knew that the fruit drink didn't sell a few copies, a group of officials rushed in in a hurry in the heavy rain outside, and detained Song An on the charge of murdering human life.

Aunt Song was going to deliver food to Song An, but when she arrived at the market, she found a seal on the door of the shop, and she found out what happened after asking someone.

It is said that a man had a quarrel with Song An in the shop, Song An held a grudge, and poisoned the man's fruit drink. When the man's wife found out, he was already dead.

Mrs. Song was determined not to believe it.

However, Uncle Song took over a carpentry job a few days ago and went to the next county. He couldn't come back for a while, so Aunt Song could only come to Lu Xiyue.

"Now that I'm in prison, if I'm convicted, how can I live?" Aunt Song burst into tears.

Xiao Yunheng glanced at the girl who was frowning, and said in a calm voice, "This case is full of doubts, and it should not be convicted so early."

Lu Xiyue thought the same as him.

But just one sentence obviously couldn't comfort Aunt Song, she held the other person's hand back and asked softly: "Aunt Song, do you know who the man who was killed was?"

Song An was the store manager she invited, so she naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

If it is said to be harmful, the gentle face of the young man floated in her mind, and she shook her head secretly.

Not to mention that she believed in Song An, only one of them was, after Song An had a dispute with the man, where did she find the time to buy poison.

Could it be that he had anticipated that he would quarrel with others?

Obviously impossible.

Aunt Song shook her head: "I don't know, but I heard that he is a pig killer."

Lu Xiyue asked again: "Do you know when the trial will take place?"

"tomorrow."

Lu Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, there was still time.

"Mother, you go home first, I will not sit idly by on this matter, you believe me, as long as he is innocent, I will rescue him."

Xiao Yunheng squeezed the teacup tightly, and glanced at her calmly.

Aunt Song is still uneasy, but at the moment no one can help except Lu Xiyue.

"Then, there will be Mrs. Lu Lu." She wiped away her tears and looked at the girl's eyes covered with mist.

Send Aunt Song away.Lu Xiyue couldn't calm down.

Mother Lu sighed softly, and put her hand on her shoulder: "Yue'er, are you sure you can save someone?"

Lu Xiyue didn't answer her question, but said: "If it's innocent, I will do my best."

Hearing this, Mother Lu took a deep look at her and didn't speak.

Xiao Yunheng silently sipped his tea, slightly raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, then I must see Song An."

Lu Xiyue nodded, then was taken aback.

"If possible, it's best to go to that man's house."

Since it is firmly believed that the boy surnamed Song did not kill anyone, then it must be the man's wife who lied.

Lu Xiyue's heart moved slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him.

I didn't expect him to be very enthusiastic.

Xiao Yunheng was inexplicably stared at by her, and his back straightened involuntarily.
