Chapter 177: Lai Pingdong is gone

"This is organic fertilizer, made of rotten leaves and rice stalks, and Uncle Shan Leopard can try to make it when he returns home." Chen Ping said in the back.

Although there is a gap between the two families, they can meet in the village, even Aunt Li, and they have to say hello when they meet.

In the brick kiln under the Liuhe side in recent days, Chen Wang's little fat man did not go to mix white flour steamed buns to eat, and he only went to pick up the morning when it was almost dinner, helping to move more than a dozen green bricks, picking up a few wooden branches, and then getting two big steamed buns.

Liu has to give two sentences every time, but he will still take two hot steamed buns for Chen Wang's kid.

"Fat chicken fat?" Chen Shanbao has never heard of this name, why does it have oil and chicken?

Isn't it this rancid thing, made with oil and chicken? No wonder it's fat, it's like this.

"It's fertile, why do you still use oil? The chicken was chopped up and put in? Chen Shanbao arrived at the head of his own field and went down the ridge of the field, not forgetting to remind Chen Ping, "This is really a waste, and having money shouldn't be such a flower." ”

Chen Ping was stunned, and only after a moment did he understand, smiled and shook his head, Chen Shanbao would really be wrong.

Seeing that Chen Shanbao was setting up a yoke and a zigzag plow, Chen Ping did not explain, and it was not too late to slowly promote fertilizer when his own fields were effective.

When new things come out and want to be popularized, you always need to give a model, and when you see it, people will follow. Just like this curved plough, let the chief come to Dongxi to make a trip in the field, and now not only Baitu Village, but also several nearby villages such as Xiatu Village and Shangtu Village have been used in the fields.

Even now, at Chen Hecai's house in the east of the village, people from other villages come to inquire every day or two, and they all come to Shangwan Village.

When the father and son arrived at their own field, the field was turned over, and a large piece of soil had been broken up with a rake, and there were many rice stalks and roots mixed in the middle.

Chen Xiaoyi and Chen Ping each held a wooden scoop, scooped the fertilizer in the wooden barrel, and applied it to the ground.

"Be lighter, don't sprinkle it in the field next to it, and cheapen others." Chen Xiaoyi saw that Chen Ping's strength was a little bigger, and some of the sticky fertilizer was sprinkled on the field on the side, so he hurriedly reprimanded.

In the soil near the ridges, there were some potholes and wet, and some bean seeds were already sown inside. The early beans are planted at this time, and they can be harvested in August and September, and they are on the edge of the ridges, and they do not occupy the sowing land of rice seeds.

"Soybeans are a good thing." Chen Ping scooped up some organic fertilizer, carefully dripped it on the bean seeds, and muttered, "Soy milk, stinky tofu, tofu brain, these are all delicious." ”

When Chen Ping was pondering the bean seeds that had been sown for a short time, an old man came out of the village tremblingly and looked at the field.

"Isn't that Grandpa Pingdong? How did it get here? Chen Ping looked up, saw the old man, and recognized it at a glance, he only went to his house a few days ago, and asked Pingdong and his grandfather to help make the cushions of the chairs.

Recognizing the person, Chen Ping put down the wooden scoop, went up to the ridge, and hurriedly ran over. Lai Pingdong's grandfather injured his left eye, and he doesn't go out on weekdays, so there must be something wrong here.

"Come to work, why are you here? Is there something looking for me, why didn't you come to Pingdong with you? When he got closer, seeing the expression on Lai Pingdong's grandfather's face, Chen Ping became more and more sure in his heart that something must have happened.

Lai Pingdong's grandfather looked anxious, grabbed Chen Ping's hand, and asked eagerly, "Has Pingdong come to you?" ”

"No, didn't he make that chair cushion with you at home?" Chen Ping said, now that his grandfather came to Pingdong, he was not at home when he came to Pingdong, "Did he enter the mountain?" ”

"He told me that he had come to you, but it had been two days, and he had not returned. The more I thought about it at home, the more I felt that something was wrong. In the past, he came to you, and he wouldn't not go back for two days in a row. Since his third uncle left, my grandparents and grandchildren have depended on each other, and he is the most filial and will not leave home for so long. Lai Pingdong's grandfather said, "I have been waiting at home last night, but the child still hasn't seen me, I didn't sleep well at night, I wanted to come to you to ask, but I thought it was too late, this didn't come this morning." ”

He must have lied when he came to Pingdong, Chen Ping hadn't seen him for a few days, so he couldn't have come to the village.

"Did you take anything when you came to Pingdong?" Chen Ping thought for a moment and asked.

"Take it, take three traps." Lai Pingdong's grandfather was impressed, "But the trap is very large, the size of the mouth of the clay jar." ”

Lai Pingdong's grandfather said while wrapping his hands around him and gestured to Chen Ping: "I said that I haven't entered the mountains with you for more than a month, and I want to go to the mountains with you to catch some prey." But he didn't come here, you said this kid wouldn't do anything else, would he? Since his third uncle left, Pingdong has become more and more silent, and he doesn't say a word all day, I'm afraid that he will do stupid things. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I can't say that Pingdong caught big prey in the mountains, and he can't get it back for a while." Coming to Pingdong must have entered the mountain, Chen Ping comforted his grandfather in Pingdong, "You go to my house first and wait, and I will go to the mountains to find him." ”

Lai Pingdong's grandfather nodded again and again, grabbed Chen Ping's hand, and his gray eyes were already full of tears.

Chen Ping did not delay, and went directly out of the west of the village and went to Liuhe Mountain.

Alone, no one else called.

"I hope this kid doesn't do anything stupid." Chen Ping walked quickly, and came to the matter of the third uncle of Pingdong, he said at the beginning, the trap with a large mouth of the tank, where is it used to catch beasts, it is used to kill people.

Hiding from his grandfather, he hid and made a big trap, and he went into the mountain for two days and did not return. All kinds of information summed up made Chen Ping so suspicious.

When he came to Pingdong, he must have seen the opportunity and discovered the enemy's movements, so he entered the mountain alone.

Trotting all the way, Chen Ping thought of the cave, thought of coming to Pingdong and knowing the cave, his heart was anxious, it was a very familiar path, Chen Ping fell several times, and when he reached the stream, he stumbled on a raised stone and fell into the stream with half of his body.

As March approached, although it was spring, the water was still cold.

Wiping his face, Chen Ping went to the high stone outside the cave, just put his hand on it, and suddenly retracted it again.

"Blood." There was blood on the high stone, dark red, although it was very light, it seemed to have been washed, but Chen Ping had already seen it, something was dragged up the high stone, and the blood stains had been extending from the bottom to the top of the high stone.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Ping used his hands and feet on the high stone, and when he arrived outside the cave, the blood stains really went to the cave.

Chen Ping gave himself a backhand slap.

There was food in the cave, and Chen Ping specially brought rice for Zhu Xie and Guan Chong, and even cut a few pieces of meat from the beam at home.

"Zhu Xie?" Chen Ping shouted and went into the cave.

There were four people in the cave, one short and one strong, bound by strips of cloth, huddled in a dark corner, unable to see really, and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Zhu Xie and Guan Chong stood aside, and when they saw Chen Ping coming in, Zhu Xie nodded with him and greeted: "There is a person who says he knows you, I don't know if it's true or not, and I can't go down the mountain to find you." It's just right to come, you come to discern whether you really know each other. (To be continued.) )
