Chapter 535: Phantom of the Medicine Field
The two stopped as they approached the village, and looked inside, trying to see if they could spot any figures.
It was only in the darkness of night, and it was obvious that there was very little to see, and after they glanced around, they focused on the farmers in the front.
With the exception of this farmer, the lights were turned off in the other yards.
As early as seven hours ago, they saw Shi Chen and Lin Baicao walk here.
Killer A pointed to the courtyard door, and his voice was very low, "It should be here." ”
"I'm not stupid!" Killer B glared at him, feeling the stone statue as he prepared to climb over the wall into the courtyard.
Before he could act, there was a sudden sound of the door opening in the courtyard, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the two immediately retracted behind the stone statue.
As professional killers, they never take any risks.
At least until you know the situation, you will not act rashly.
Outside the courtyard gate, Su Liben walked in front of the three people, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in.
"Xiaoyou, since you and Lao Lin live here today, it's time to take advantage of the time to go to the medicine field behind me to have a look. Su Liben smiled and said, "If you like any herbs, I will ask Xiaocheng to pack them for you and take them away tomorrow." ”
"Can you see it clearly in such darkness?" Shi Chen couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
"Brother Shi Chen, you don't understand this, my father is not an ordinary medicine field planted, but just like the greenhouse where crops are grown in Huaxia, each herb needs a different living environment. ”
Su Cheng walked a few steps quickly, walked to Shi Chen's side, and explained, "The greenhouse is piled up with earthen walls to separate them, so that not only will the herbs not be damaged by the rain, but also prevent some herbs from dying due to direct sunlight." ”
"That's right. Shi Chen nodded, and secretly sighed in his heart, sure enough, it was like a mountain across the line.
The place where the medicine field is located is the last part of the village.
Walk back along the alley, and it won't take you more than ten minutes to get there.
Since they decided to go, several people didn't stay in the courtyard for a long time, and walked out of the courtyard gate directly.
It's just that when he walked out of the courtyard gate, Shi Chen suddenly glanced forward.
With his perceptual ability beyond ordinary people, Shi Chen could clearly perceive that behind the stone statue at the entrance of the village, there was definitely someone squatting there.
If nothing else, it should be the person on the business car who followed him from the hotel all the way to here at noon.
However, Shi Chen did not startle the snake, made a blank look, and followed Su Liben away.
"Do you see clearly?" Killer A held on to the marble platform beneath the stone statue, his eyes wide and he tried to look into the darkness.
However, he could only vaguely see a few figures, and he couldn't even tell if they were the target of their assassination.
Killer B rubbed his sore eyes and replied vaguely, "I guess so." ”
"You shouldn't," Killer A was speechless, "if this is not our assassination target, if we go up and kill it, won't it scare the target away?"
"Let's go along and have a look, if it doesn't work, I'll look for it. Killer B tiptoed to follow.
If they knew that it was so troublesome, they should have stopped the taxi directly on the road and killed the taxi driver.
If I do, I'm afraid I'll already have the money in hand.
Seeing his companion go out, Killer A can only follow.
The two of them kept a short distance from Shi Chen and the others, so that they would not be discovered, but they would not lose their target.
"This is it. ”
The group walked to the back of the village, and Su Liben stopped in front of the iron gate, fumbled for a key in his pocket, and opened the door of the medicine field.
As soon as I entered, the rich smell of medicine instantly filled the nasal cavity, which was completely different from the taste of Xiao Shuanghua.
Because the medicine field is completely closed, the smell of each herb is mixed together, and although it is not unpleasant, it is constantly irritating the nasal passages.
"Here are a few precious Chinese herbs that I transplanted. ”
After walking into the medicine field, Su Liben stretched out his hand to cover the iron door and pointed to the nearly half acre of land at his feet.
As he spoke, he reached out and scratched the wall and pulled the light inside.
As soon as the lights are turned on, the situation in the entire medicine field can be clearly seen.
The area of the medicine field is about a dozen acres of land, and there is no end in sight.
Except for the half acre of land in front of it, the rest of the place was isolated by an earthen wall.
Due to the different herbs planted, the corresponding tarpaulin is also thickened or lightened to adjust the exposure of sunlight to the herbs.
Lin Baicao swept around with both hands behind his back, and then gave Su Liben a thumbs up, "Not bad!"
"Of course, it took me two whole years to build this medicine field. Su Liben waved his hand arrogantly, "But there are only some important ones, and those that are not important, I asked the nearby villagers to help plant them on the mountain." ”
Here is his hard work for more than ten years, although it is very tiring, but to see these Chinese herbs thrive, no matter how tired it is, it is worth it.
"Brother Shi Chen, what are the herbs you like?" Su Cheng took out a shovel and a small wooden barrel from the corner and asked softly.
"Nothing needed. Shi Chen shook his head, these herbs were indeed well planted, but he couldn't use them.
It's better to stay and let them continue to grow, and they can sell it for a good price in the future.
Just as everyone was talking, there was a sound of rustling outside the medicine field.
Su Cheng turned his head and saw a flashing black shadow, and hurriedly shouted, "Who's outside?"
The two killers squatted down violently after hearing the sound, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Maybe it's a hare, don't make such a fuss. Without waiting for Lin Baicao and Su Liben to speak, Shi Chen said casually.
If you think about it with your ass, you know that it is those two stupid killers, but Shi Chen doesn't want them to be discovered, and wants to solve them secretly, so as not to make a big fuss.
"It makes sense that there are quite a few hares in the mountains around here. If Uncle Lin and Shi Chen stay here for a few more days, I will let them go to the mountains to hunt a few hares to try. ”
Su Cheng laughed, not suspicious of Shi Chen's words at all.
"Since Shi Chen Xiaoyou doesn't need anything, let's go back and rest. Su Liben supported his somewhat sore waist with his hands, feeling a little tired.
For the past twenty or thirty years, he would bend over the medicine field almost every day to take care of these herbs.
Over time, the root of the disease has gradually been left, and as long as you stand for too long, you will have back pain.
As I get older, the severity of low back pain is increasing year by year, and I can't do anything about it.
Shi Chen glanced outside the medicine field without a trace, and said lightly, "I want to take a look in the medicine field, you guys go back first." ”
"It's okay, I asked Xiaocheng to leave you with the guest room next to the courtyard, next door to Lao Lin. Xiaocheng, after you go back, go and turn on the light, so that Shi Chen Xiaoyou can easily see it. ”
Su Liben walked towards the outside of the medicine field with his waist propped up, telling Su Cheng as he walked.
