Chapter 4 - a baby
Shen Jiajia helped her mother to the chair, then looked at her father.
Shen Chukuai’s face darkened, “As soon as we entered the house, we found that the bedroom had been turned over. Which rogue dared to steal on Grandpa Shen’s head, and when I caught him, he would have to peel off his skin!” Said Then, he picked up the knife and was about to go out, “You take care of your mother, I’ll find some brothers to help me catch the thief.”
Shen Jiajia asked, “Where is the thief?”
Shen Chu walked quickly and was a little embarrassed: “For the time being… I don’t know. Our house’s locks and doors and windows have not been broken, and the thief has no idea how he got in. Sanniang, you know, I’m only good at catching murderers. Inferring the facts of the case is not very good. It is necessary to ask the thoughtful brothers in the yamen to help.”
Shen Zhukuai was burly and highly skilled in martial arts. As a bird, Xie Chengfeng stood on the ground and looked at him, and he felt that this person was as tall as a hill. Xie Chengfeng thought with emotion: He is a good thug, but unfortunately his brain is not very bright.
Shen Jiajia thought for a while, and asked in confusion, “Why did you only turn over your room, but not mine?”
“This…”
Shen Jiajia walked around the room, looked left and right, looked up and down, and murmured, “The doors and windows and locks are all good, how did this person come in?”
Second Lady Zhu interjected, “Can he escape through the wall?”
Shen Jiajia’s eyes lit up, “Yes! He can escape through walls!”
Shen Zhukuai looked at his daughter worriedly, Sanniang is afraid that she is not crazy, right?
Then he looked away and looked down maliciously at the bird on the ground. It’s all to blame for this mad bird. Sanniang has always been fine. After playing with this mad bird for a long time, she becomes a little crazy.
“This bird can’t be kept.” Shen Chukuai’s tone was fierce.
Xie Chengfeng: …? ? ?
Shen Jiajia didn’t notice her father’s words. She was walking slowly in the room at the moment. She took a step and stomped her feet on the ground. She walked like this for about five or six steps. When she stomped her feet again, her voice became different.
“This is it, Dad, let’s pry it open and see.” The floor is covered with blue bricks.
Shen Chukuai suddenly understood her intention, and quickly came over and squatted down. Only then did he find some fine dust scattered on the surface of the blue brick. He pried the blue brick open, and a dark hole appeared underneath.
The hole was less than two feet wide, and could accommodate a small man.
Shen Chu quickly touched the soil on the wall of the cave and said, “The soil is fresh and damp, and the hole is newly dug. I’ll go down and have a look!”
Zhu Erniang hurriedly stopped him: “You’re like a cow, you’ll get stuck when you go down. I’m afraid you’ll suffocate inside, so let me go down.”
Shen Jiajia shook her head and said, “You don’t have to go. This hole is probably blocked. If it is not blocked, then there will be no clues along the way.”
“That’s right, how could that thief leave a passage for us to find him.”
Xie Chengfeng watched with relish. These two couples are dumb, how can they be so tricky to have a daughter.
“Sanniang, what should I do now?”
“Father, mother, I probably already know the identity of the suspect.”
“Oh?”
“Digging a hole is very labor-intensive, and our family is not a big family. Is it worth the effort of the other party to dig a hole to steal?”
“It’s not worth it.”
“unless…”
Shen Chukuai clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand, and said, “Unless this hole is very short, it doesn’t take much manpower to dig it!”
Shen Jiajia nodded and said with a smile: “That’s right. Besides, the hole leads directly to my parents’ bedroom, and the thief didn’t even come to my room, which shows that he knows our family’s population layout very well and knows where your room is. On the side, I know that my room is worthless. Third, why did the thief dare to steal today? Because he knew that our family of three went out and would not be able to come back until later. The uncle left suddenly, and there are not many people who know the whereabouts of our family. .so-“
“So, in summary, the thief is between the neighbors.” Shen Zhukuai came to the final conclusion.
After saying this, Shen Zhuo took out his knife and went out – he still needed a brother.
This area is densely populated. Although I know that the suspect is a neighbor, there are more than ten neighbors who have the conditions to commit the crime, and further investigation is required.
It’s a pity that with these ten or so homes, Shen Zhukuai took his brothers to investigate for two days, only half of them were ruled out, and there were still five left, and it couldn’t go on now. Someone suggested digging along the traces of the hole, but after going down, they encountered a boulder blocking the road, so they had to give up.
On this day, Shen Jiajia went out to buy some small toys and came back. The small table, chair, bench, and the small swing as big as a palm were all pushed in front of Xie Chengfeng.
Xie Chengfeng looked at the rickety swing and felt insulted.
But Shen Jiajia didn’t have the eyesight yet, so he asked him, “For you, do you like it?”
“roll!”
“If you like—”
“I, no, like, like.” Although the parrot doesn’t necessarily have teeth, Xie Chengfeng’s tone is gnashing, “You wait for me, wait for me to get you.”
“—Can you do me a favor?”
Shen Jiajia immediately said her request, and Xie Chengfeng almost laughed angrily after hearing it: “Shen Jiajia, what do you mean, you asked me to listen to the corner? I’m dignified…you asked me to listen to the corner, such a daring trickster! “
“Please, do me a favor, okay?” Shen Jiajia put her hands together.
She made him look like a little fu low, and he benefited twelve points, and then he swung the bird’s head, “Haha, now you know I’m begging me? You won’t even peel melon seeds.”
“Peeling, not only peeling melon seeds, but I will also squeeze juice for you. Do you want to drink pear juice or peach juice?”
“Humph.”
Shen Jiajia walked around in front of him, gave him a long bow, and bent over: “Please!” Then she lengthened her voice, “Ancestor—Zong—”
Xie Chengfeng was amused by her. He shook his head and said helplessly, “A girl, why is she so shameless.”
Shen Jiajia bent down and looked up at him, smiling with frowning eyes, “You agreed?”
“Humph.”
Shen Jiajia held him up and rubbed his face happily: “Thank you!”
For such frivolous actions, Xie Chengfeng was too lazy to resist.
Shen Jiajia put Xie Chengfeng in front of the window, “Go.”
Xie Chengfeng looked at it for a while, then turned around at the end, rather embarrassed: “I don’t think I can fly very well.”
Shen Jiajia: “…”
a bird? Can’t fly?
make fun of me!
Shen Jiajia never imagined that one day she would teach a bird how to fly.
She fluttered her wings for half an hour, no, her arms, squatting on the table while watching the play while eating melon seeds in the wind, she just refused to flap her wings, the reason was—
“What if I break it.”
Shen Jiajia was lying on the table, looked at him with a shriveled mouth, and said aggrieved: “Don’t make fun of me.”
“Then will you still slap me in the face in the future?”
“No, no… But, do you remember this little grudge for two days?”
“From the time I was born to the present, only you and I have swayed my face, and I can’t remember it too much for the rest of my life.”
“Okay, you are right. From now on, you will be the master, and I will be the slave.”
Xie Chengfeng had enough of it, put down the seeds, stood on the table and tried to flap his wings. After a few tries, he finally flew up staggeringly.
He practiced for a day during the day, and at night, escorted by Shen Jiajia, he went to listen to the corners of a few neighbors.
That night, Shen Jiajia excused himself to accidentally hear where the stolen goods were, and asked Shen Jukuai to take his brother to search a neighbor’s dry well, and found a pair of golden heads and silver taels, which matched the number reported by Shen Jukuai’s family. , and the stolen goods were obtained, and the people were turned to the government on the spot.
The neighbors were quick to recruit.
It turned out that his brother-in-law and two nephews were guests at the house. His husband and wife rectified a table of wine and vegetables, and had a few glasses of wine. Neighbors listened eagerly, thinking that digging graves was a deed to kill off descendants, and he would never do it. But today, I saw Shen Jukuai’s family of three go out in an ox cart. When I inquired about it, I learned that this was going to the countryside to offer condolences. Both Shen Zhukuai and his wife have a good livelihood. They must have accumulated a lot of money at home. Several people borrowed wine to strengthen their courage. After discussing it, they felt that this matter could be done. Who knew that Shen Zhukuai would find him so quickly, he didn’t dare to sell the stolen goods, so he had to hide the stolen goods in the well, and planned to deal with it after things subsided.
…
After finally chasing back his mother’s treasure, Shen Jiajia’s heart finally fell to the ground.
She peeled a lot of melon seeds for Chengfeng, and they were white and plump, and squeezed Sydney juice, which was fine and sweet. Xie Chengfeng stood on the small swing, eating melon seeds on the left, drinking juice on the right, and shaking the small swing.
Shen Jiajia stroked its head with her fingertips, “Thanks to you this time, you are really my baby.”
“Can you be any more numb?”
Shen Jiajia urged narrowly: “Heart~Liver~”
thump—
Xie Chengfeng fell headlong.
