"Whatever I ate, of course it was something good."

Gu Xue took the opportunity to throw a small pill into Ma Dashan's mouth.

The villagers in Nanxi Village looked at each other.

Although the four members of Liu's family were very anxious about Liu Qiuyun's whereabouts, they knew that the village chief had a plan, so they followed the village chief's wishes.

In less than a minute, Ma Dashan felt dizzy, and then his head shook twice.

He actually confessed in a daze.

"I sold Liu Qiuyun to Wang Shuisheng in the village."

"Sold for 6 taels of silver."

After saying this, everyone in Nanxi Village was shocked.

He actually sold his wife, not to other places, but to people in the same village.

I really didn't expect it.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, both of them have expressions of disbelief.

His eyes seemed to be asking why Wang Shuisheng bought someone.

Should I buy it back and be my wife?

But Liu Qiuyun didn't just pick him up on the way. He has a natal family and is from a neighboring village.

I was discovered and walked around without food.

Besides, Daling Village is not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. I heard that the village chief is very powerful.

How dare you buy a girl from another village.

After Daling Village's economy improved, Nanxi Village did not dare to mess with it easily and would not look for trouble.

Therefore, they thought Wang Shuisheng was crazy.

What Gu Xue gave Ma Dashan was a truth-telling pill. After taking it, there was nothing he could do to hide it.

Will tell the truth.

After hearing what Ma Dashan said, the Liu family jumped on him and started fighting again.

"You are a scourge, a murderer of a thousand cuts, you dare to sell my daughter."

"Why do you sell my daughter?"

"He actually sold someone for a few taels of silver, which is so heartless."

After Liu Er hit him a few times, he asked the people in Nanxi Village again.

"Who is Wang Shuisheng from your village?"

Gu Xue also looked at the villagers in Nanxi Village.

The people in Nanxi Village looked around and looked at each other, and found that Wang Shuisheng was not there.

"Wang Shuisheng, that young man, is not here."

"I never thought he would do something like this."

"You guys, go to Wang Shuisheng's house and escort him to me."

Chief Ding of Nanxi Village spoke.

Several men quickly left in one direction.

Gu Xue and the villagers of Daling Village were waiting there.

The Liu family is in anxiety and sadness, leaving one person here alone.

The other three people followed the men from Nanxi Village to find someone.

The past ten days had been filled with misfortunes and misfortunes. When they got the news, they wanted to fly to Wang Shuisheng's house to see for themselves whether their daughter was there.

While other villagers were waiting for Wang Shuisheng, they had already started talking in low voices.

They were very curious about Ma Dashan's performance just now.

"Didn't he just say that his wife had eloped with another man? Why did he change his story again?"

"His temperament means he won't tell the truth at first, and he won't tell it easily later."

"The head of Daling Village gave him medicine. Could it be the effect of the pill? Look at Ma Dashan's eyes."

"Are his eyes different from usual?"

"Ah! Yes, his eyes are motionless, as if he is stupid. Is he really stupid?"

"How can a stupid person still speak eloquently? It's not like you haven't seen a fool before."

"No matter what happened to him, the pill must have worked. It's a good thing."

"There are still such medicines in the world. You tell me, if the county magistrate and those officials have this thing and interrogate the prisoners, they will not just tell them all the crimes they have committed."

"I can solve any case, and with all my merits and achievements, I will be promoted quickly."

"Haha, why are you so excited? You are not an official, how can you still get this benefit?"

"Hey, why does Wang Shuisheng buy people? Have you seen Liu Qiuyun at his house?"

"No, his house is the same as usual, there are no other people around."

Gu Xue heard their conversation and naturally noticed some special points. She walked to the two people discussing.

"What's going on at Wang Yongsheng's house?"

The two men who were talking saw the female village chief walking towards them and asked again.

Not daring to delay, I felt a sense of majesty from her body.

"That's right, Wang Shuisheng is a single man. His parents have left long ago, and he is the only one in the family."

Gu Xue frowned: "Has he revealed that he wants to marry a wife?"

"No, he's a very strange person. He doesn't like women. He can support himself by doing some carpentry work occasionally."

"In the early years, I had a good relationship with the villagers, and I always said hello when I met."

"Then he got seriously ill and changed."

"He became taciturn and seldom interacted with the villagers."

"His income from carpentry was enough to get him a wife. He got married before, but he fell down a mountain and died."

"I will never look for a wife again."

"Oh, by the way, he doesn't have any children either. Anyway, he is the only one in their family and he is the weirdo in the village."

After hearing these words, Gu Xue fell into deep thought.

If you are not a womanizer, and you are not marrying her as your wife, why buy someone?

The villagers did not find anyone else in his home.

what is the problem?

By the way, once I got seriously ill, my life changed.

Should it be related to this?

Gu Xue had just thought of the key point, but unexpectedly another villager from Nanxi Village interrupted.

"I remembered that I saw him more than once going to a small Taoist temple in the next town."

Gu Xue looked at the speaker and asked, "Why go to the Taoist temple?"

"I don't know about this. I just saw him go in. He has never worshiped in any temple before."

"Could it be that he does carpentry for the Taoist temple?" a villager asked.

The man shook his head and said he didn't know either.

"I know, I once saw him kowtow in his yard."

"There is also a table in the yard with incense sticks and some food."

Gu Xue only thought that Wang Shuisheng was a mysterious person.

Is it related to that illness, burning incense, and the Taoist temple?

"Hey, maybe Ma Dashan lied, and he didn't necessarily sell it to Wang Shuisheng."

Someone guessed.

Gu Xue simply gave up and went directly to his house.

"Let's go directly to his house. You guys will lead the way to Wang Shuisheng's house."

Gu Xue spoke, Village Chief Ding also agreed, and everyone followed all the way to find Wang Shuisheng.

The truth-telling pill she gave Ma Dashan must be fine.

Therefore, Liu Qiuyun must have been sold to Wang Shuisheng.

She also used her mental power to check Ma Dashan's home just now, but there was no one inside.

Most of the people were at Wang Shuisheng's house.

The villagers from the two villages walked forward, and as soon as they turned a corner, they met a few people who had just left to look for Wang Shuisheng.

"Village chief, what are you doing? Wang Shuisheng is not at home."

"The door to his house was closed. We looked inside, but there was no movement."

The two men reported, and Village Chief Ding nodded and looked at Gu Xue.

It seems to be asking, since the person is not at home, there is no point in going there, should we continue?

Gu Xue understood instantly: "Go again!"

The eldest son of the Liu family was very angry: "Village chief, I just wanted to break down the door and enter Wang Shuisheng's house, but the people from Nanxi Village stopped us from entering."

"What's stopping me from finding a daughter?"

"There must be something their village is hiding from us..."
