Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

The next day, Mao Xi and cousin Yuying took Miss Ye to Taoyuan to look for Miss Sang.

Mu Zhiyuan checked first at the small pavilion in the lake in Taoyuan, but did not see the sister Sang mentioned by Miss Ye.

Miss Ye looked at the stone table in the pavilion, recalling the conversation and laughter she had had with Miss Sang here these past few days, and hesitated slightly: "Sister Sang said she likes to discuss embroidery with me in Taoyuan. On weekdays, as long as I don't go to work, she will always It’s waiting for me here.”

Everyone waited in the pavilion with Miss Ye for two hours, but when they didn't see Miss Sang, they gave up and left.

Under the willow tree by the lake, a passing salesman suddenly shouted: "No, someone jumped into the river."

When the people heard the sound, someone took a long bamboo pole and stretched it towards the woman who fell into the water.

But the woman did not grab the bamboo pole and seemed unwilling to be rescued. She was flopping up and down in the water and was about to die.

Mu Zhiyuan jumped into the lake and pushed the woman to the shore. The woman kept making noises in the water and pushed Mu Zhiyuan's head to the bottom of the river.

It took a lot of effort to rescue her ashore.

Mao Xi and others hurried to the shore and were relieved to see that Brother Mu was fine.

The onlookers criticized the girl who fell into the water.

"This girl is really ignorant. If others want to save her, she will drag them to be buried with her!"

"I saved this woman in vain, and she almost cost someone else's life."

……

Amid the accusations from the people, the woman huddled in place and just kept sobbing.

A cook squeezed his way to the woman from the crowd and held her in his arms: "Sister, why can't you think about it? Go home with me, I can't live without you..."

Behind the cook came an old man and an old woman, and the four of them hugged each other and cried.

"Old man, take your daughter back quickly! It's thanks to this little brother next to her that she saved her life today."

When the people watching saw the woman's family coming, they dispersed one after another.

The cook and the two old men kowtowed to Mu Zhiyuan to express their thanks.

Mu Zhiyuan helped the old man up: "Old man, why is your daughter so determined to commit suicide? She was unwilling to accept rescue in the river just now."

"Thank you for the rescue today, little brother. My little girl was harmed by an adulterer and I can't think about it for a moment. Baby, come and kowtow to your benefactor."

The woman kowtowed to Mu Zhiyuan to express her gratitude.

Miss Ye noticed the sachet worn by the woman. She saw that the embroidery stitches were quite similar to Sister Sang's, so she stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you recognize Sister Sang? I think this sachet seems to have been embroidered by him." of."

"Sister Sang? Girl, I don't know Sister Sang."

Miss Ye described Sister Sang's appearance and hobbies to the woman.

The woman seemed to have some realization, and all the past events came to her mind again.

Her newly calmed mind turned to grief again. She stepped forward and held Miss Ye's hand: "Girl, we have all been deceived by Wei Yong. The Sister Sang you know is the thief Wei Yong!"

Wei Yong is Miss Sang? She is actually a man? !

Everyone looked at each other, confused.

The woman picked up her sachet and said to Miss Ye: "Wei Yong's pseudonym is Liu Cheng. I met him by chance on the street. He approached me as a friend and later learned embroidery skills from me. It has been two years. .

But he didn’t know where he learned the art of disguise, and he dressed himself up like a woman, with no flaw in his words, deeds, or speech. I didn’t even notice, and we treated him like a close friend..."

Miss Ye clenched her hands. Could it be that Sister Sang was really a man?

"Girl, has he also done something wrong to you?"

In the end, the woman couldn't control herself, and she hid her face and howled: "When I learned that he used the embroidery skills I taught him to also deceive other women, I was so ashamed that my skills turned into a weapon to harm others. I can't help myself day by day. When I go to sleep, I feel ashamed of those women who were murdered, and I no longer have the face to live in this world."

The woman's brother sighed deeply: "This is all evil. Not only did Wei Yong use his body as a woman to despise my sister, he also deceived countless young girls in the city. It would be a shame to die!"

"Brother Mu, is it really Wei Yong who violated Miss Ye? How can we find him?" Shui Xi asked.

"We have to find someone now. As long as he hasn't left the city, we will definitely catch him."

On the side, Ms. Ye comforted the woman and told her her experience. The two held each other's arms and cried.

Mu Zhiyuan asked the old man to take the girl home, and then said to Shu Xi, "Ah Shu, you go back to the food shop first. I will go to Zhang Captou to discuss this matter."

Yu Ying and Miss Ye accompanied Ma Xi back to Lihua Town. Ma Xi could not figure out how this man could be so proficient in disguised as a woman.

"Miss Ye, do you remember that Sister Sang's feet were bound? Does he have an Adam's apple on his neck? You couldn't tell that she was dressed as a man when you were in close contact with him?"

Miss Ye recalled: "Although his feet are larger than those of ordinary women, his walking posture is also graceful, his skin is white and beautiful, his makeup is exquisite, his neck is fair, and his body smells of osmanthus powder. His embroidery work is first-class, and his speech is excellent." Xirou, no one would think that he is a man."

"Miss Ye usually uses osmanthus-flavored sachets?"

Miss Ye shook her head and said, "I used a peach blossom scented sachet, which I bought from Miss Ranchen's shop."

"Can I use osmanthus fragrance to diffuse my clothes?"

Miss Ye still shook her head.

Mao Xi remembered the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the wardrobe in Miss Ye's room that day. There were signs of movement in the pickled cabbage jar under the bed, so he could probably guess something.

"Miss Ye, you probably haven't taken out the sauerkraut under your bed to eat recently, right?"

"Not yet. My mother-in-law made a few more jars in the last ten days and couldn't finish them, so she put them under my bed."

"Miss Ye, I think Wei Yong took advantage of you to be sleepy and hid under the bed in your room. After you fell asleep, he used a handkerchief dipped in drug to stun you and did something evil. When he came to your boudoir before, he was probably hiding in the closet. From the beginning, he used his identity as a woman to get close to you, making you let down your guard."

Mao Xi poured out all her speculations in one breath, and Yuying quite agreed with her cousin's analysis.

Yuying secretly sighed that her cousin was still able to solve the case.

"Sister Ye, since this happened, why not leave it to Brother Mu and Zhang Captou? I believe that Wei Yong will not be able to escape."

"But..." Ms. Ye said quietly, "Today, the woman said that many women in the city were violated by Wei Yong, but no one reported them to the authorities. It was miserable like her and me. All we could think of was self-commitment. If we hadn't met To be rescued by kind-hearted people..."

Mao Xi knows the importance of honor to women, especially in ancient times, it was an invisible shackles.

"Sister Ye, it was Wei Yong who made the mistake, but you have to lose your life for him. It's not worth it. Don't get too emotional later."

"Um……"

Yu Ying pulled Shu Xi with some worry: "Ah Shu, can Brother Mu and Capt. Zhang catch that bad guy?"

"Most definitely."
