Urban best double repair

Wang Erniu's eyes began to flicker, and he seemed to be looking for a suitable excuse.

"Well, they... they are all busy outside making money."

Song Yu did not continue to ask, but turned to look at Cuihua: "Cuihua, how much do you know about Erniu's friends?"

Cuihua frowned, looking a little impatient.

"How can I have the time to get to know them? Erniu hangs out with them all day long. I just hope he can wake up sooner and stop giving away the family's money for nothing."

"It's not a gift for nothing. They helped me before, so I can't be ungrateful..."

Wang Erniu shrank his neck and turned his head away, not daring to look directly into Cuihua's disappointed and angry eyes.

"Gratitude? You gave them all the money in the family. We have no money left. How can you call this gratitude?"

Cuihua's voice became louder, obviously she was a little excited.

"You want me and my child to starve to death?"

"Alright, alright, calm down everyone." Song Yu tried to ease the atmosphere. "Erniu's behavior was indeed inappropriate. No matter what they have done for you, you should consider Cuihua and the child."

Wang Erniu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Cuihua sighed heavily.

"Forget it, he won't listen, so the three Taoists should stop wasting their time."

"I...I'll go boil some water and make tea for you."

Wang Erniu quickly left the room, leaving Cuihua looking helplessly at the three people sitting there.

"Three Taoist priests, you should go to bed early. I'm going to feed the chickens."

When there were only three people left in the room, Su Qing looked at Song Yu in confusion.

"Brother Song, how did you feel that there was something wrong with this family at the beginning and why did you choose to live in his house?"

When disciples of a sect are out exorcising demons, they usually do not choose to live in farmers' homes.

They can be completely self-sufficient in the wild, and living in a farmer's home would cause them many inconveniences.

There must be a reason why Song Yu and Youlan appeared in Wang Erniu's house.

Su Qing was very curious about how Song Yu discovered it.

"Nothing special. It's just that when we first entered Liqing Mountain, we found the hunter's hut, and then we met Wang Erniu, so we followed him down the mountain and stayed at his house."

Song Yu smiled.

Youlan said, "I am also curious. You only looked at the hunter's hut once and chose to follow Wang Erniu down the mountain."

Su Qing and Youlan looked at Song Yu together, waiting for his explanation.

"Don't you find that the hunter's hut is too dirty? There are spider webs everywhere, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust. It doesn't look like someone lives there."

Song Yu said.

"What's so strange about that? Isn't it normal for hunter's huts on the mountain to be a little dirty and messy? No one lives there often anyway."

Youlan said nonchalantly.

Song Yu shook his head and said, "But Wang Erniu said that he often went into the mountains to hunt, and the hunter's hut should be a place where he often rested."

"If that's the case, there should be signs of his activities in the hut, such as some simple cleaning and tidying, or at least items he left behind. But the hut looks unusually deserted, as if no one has been there for a long time."

Song Yu continued to explain.

"So you suspect Wang Erniu is lying?"

Su Qing asked thoughtfully.

"No, I don't think Wang Erniu lied at the time. He did go into the mountains often."

Song Yu's words made the other two even more confused.

Su Qing asked anxiously, "But if Wang Erniu didn't lie, how can you explain why the hunter's hut is so dirty and messy?"

She really couldn't figure out from what perspective Song Yu was thinking about this phenomenon.

"Because the hunter's hut is dirty and messy, which just shows that Wang Erniu doesn't use it often."

Song Yu said slowly.

"He may have gone into the mountains to hunt, but he didn't use a hunter's lodge, which only means that he didn't need to use the lodge."

Su Qing and Youlan didn't understand at all. They tilted their heads and looked at Song Yu, like two curious little babies, with a desire for knowledge flashing in their eyes.

Song Yu chuckled twice and explained, "You haven't dealt with mortals much, so you don't know what the hunter's hut on the mountain means to the hunters who often go up the mountain."

“For them, the hunter’s lodge is not only a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but also an important place for them to store prey, rest and organize equipment.

If a hunter often goes into the mountains, his hut should have some basic maintenance and signs of use. But Wang Erniu's hut is extremely dirty, which can only mean that he doesn't need this place. "

Song Yu continued.

Su Qing and Youlan understood what Song Yu meant.

"You mean... a hunter doesn't need a hunting lodge, so he..."

Su Qing covered her mouth and looked at Song Yu with wide eyes.

Song Yu turned to look at Youlan and asked, "Do you remember how Wang Erniu killed a rabbit with a dagger when he hunted it?"

Youlan nodded: "I still remember."

Song Yu asked again: "You probably haven't seen a proper hunter or butcher slaughtering livestock. For them, the method of slaughtering livestock is basically fixed."

Slaughtering livestock is not just about killing them, but also about ensuring that their methods do not damage the meat and fur.

Rabbit fur can also be sold, which is also one of the hunters' sources of income.

"Wang Erniu's method of butchering the rabbit was too rough, and he didn't consider the integrity of the fur at all. It can even be said that his method focused more on killing."

Song Yu continued to explain.

Youlan and Su Qing looked at each other and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

Youlan frowned and asked, "Then why did he pretend to be a hunter?"

Song Yu smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated this question.

"That's exactly what we want to explore. He pretended to be a hunter because he needed a reason to go into the mountains frequently, and this reason would not arouse suspicion from others."

"So, you think he had other purposes in going into the mountains?"

Su Qing asked.

"That's right," Song Yu nodded, "and this purpose may be related to his so-called 'friends'. They have been busy recently, but what are they busy with? Why don't they even want to come to my house to explain?"

"Could they..."

Youlan's voice lowered, as if she realized something.

"They may be doing something shameful," Song Yu continued, "and Wang Erniu, as their accomplice, naturally cannot tell Cuihua the truth."

"Then what should we do?" Su Qing seemed a little anxious. "Are we just going to watch Cuihua and the child suffer?"

Song Yu suddenly laughed out loud.

"At this time, do you still think Cuihua and her child are important?"

Su Qing was stunned.

"What do you mean? How can Cuihua and her child be unimportant? They are living lives."

As a monk, how can you take human life lightly?

"You'll know later."

Song Yu didn't say it clearly.

There were footsteps outside the house and a scent of tea drifted in through the crack in the door.

Wang Erniu walked in carrying a tea tray.

"Have some hot tea."

After Song Yu's analysis, Youlan and Su Qing looked at Wang Erniu with complicated eyes and did not dare to pick up the teacup.

Song Yu took the lead and picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Su Qing's words of dissuasion swirled in her mouth, but in the end she didn't say them out loud.

"Thank you for your hospitality over the past two days. I plan to stay one more night before leaving. The monsters in the Mountain of Separation are too powerful. We are simply not capable of dealing with them."

Song Yu looked at Wang Erniu and said.

Wang Erniu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then I will wait here for the Taoist priest to come to Liqing Mountain next time."

"Well, I'll still live in your house then, hahaha."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

The top of the moon.

Song Yu lay on the floor, listening to the noise outside.

Su Qing and Youlan lay on the earthen kang, not feeling sleepy at all.

"You're going to take the money and go find your good brothers again!"

Cuihua's cursing voice rang out again.

Song Yu sat up and looked out the dark window calmly.

Youlan and Su Qing also sat up.

The quarrel between the young couple continued, and the content was very similar to what they had heard before.

"They're arguing again."

Youlan grumbled, grabbing the corner of the quilt and pulling it twice in dissatisfaction: "They keep arguing about such trivial matters every day. If this doesn't work out, I'll give them a few hundred taels of silver!"

Su Qing turned and looked at Song Yu.

"The content of their quarrel was exactly the same as what we heard during the day..."

Song Yu nodded.

"It's true. Go out and take a look."

Song Yu's figure disappeared from the spot, and appeared again standing in the yard, staring at the house where quarreling sounds were constantly coming from.

Youlan and Su Qing appeared behind him one after another.

"It's so cold..."

Su Qing rubbed her arms and complained in a low voice: "This place is too weird. I, a cultivator, actually feel tired."

Youlan took out a thick coat from her storage ring and put it on herself.

"What's so cold? Senior Brother Song Yu and I were feeling sleepy and hungry earlier."

Su Qing took the coat and put it on, and said in surprise: "You are still hungry? I have been fasting for many years and I don't feel hungry at all!"

Youlan curled her lips and said, "Otherwise, this place is weird."

"Shh!"

Song Yu pointed to the window of the cabin and whispered, "There was no light on in that room. The two of them were arguing in the dark."

"How is this possible? Mortals can't see at night, and they are arguing in the dark. Only the sound can be heard, but the other person's face cannot be seen." Su Qing widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "Are they pretending to quarrel?"

Song Yu nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Although the content of their arguments sounded real, they only started after we heard them each time, and the content was almost exactly the same."

Youlan frowned and thought: "So, they might be deliberately letting us hear these quarrels in order to cover up their real purpose."

"exactly."

Song Yu glanced at Youlan again and said, "Have you seen the child in Cuihua's mouth?"

"Now that you mention it...it seems like it really isn't true!"

Youlan suddenly realized something, and there was a hint of fear in her voice.

"We always thought she had a child, but in fact, we had never seen the child in person. Cuihua was always vague when she mentioned the child, and Wang Erniu never took us to see him."
