Chapter 169: Suspicion of Ke Mo
"Did you think of something? Do you need help from your uncle? Xiao Fang saw Zhang Xiaoyan's entangled face, and asked kindly.
Zhang Xiaoyan originally wanted Uncle Shi to help take a look at that Ke Mo, but before she had a chance to speak, she encountered the disappearance of Zhao Si, so she nodded with a serious expression.
Turning his head, he looked at Zhao Qian with an anxious face and said, "Uncle Zhao, you take people to take a good look in the two villages, and Uncle Shi and I will go to the foot of the mountain to have a look." ”
Zhao Qian actually knew about Zhao Si's martial arts practice for a long time, but the child didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask much. Occasionally, I secretly watched my son compare by himself in the backyard, and I thought that my son was learning quite well, but I thought it was very good.
Now it seems that this is not only the son's little secret, but also the little secret of Xiaoyan and Fat Ya. Since it was inconvenient to make it public, he was also very interested in not continuing to ask.
Zhang Xiaoyan asked Datian to send Zhao Qian back, and help to take a look over there, and if there is news, come back and report it quickly.
After breaking Zhao Qian away, she called her uncle to the house and told her uncle about Ke Mo, but it was over the matter of the old urchin master.
"Then go and see, maybe your friend has found something?" Xiao Fang felt that this Ke Mo was quite suspicious, and heard from his senior brother that the last poisoning incident was fortunately discovered early, otherwise he would definitely die.
"Uncle Shi, I don't want my family to know about this yet, so as not to worry them. Also, a few of us will often go to the mountains to collect medicine, this matter is also hidden from the family, only the fourth uncle knows about it at present, and I hope you don't say it, even the second brother don't say it, so as not to worry them. Zhang Xiaoyan still told Uncle Shi about the collection of medicine, because it was possible that Zhao Si would have something happen on the way up the mountain, and maybe he would have to trouble Uncle Shi to go to the mountain to find it with him.
Xiao Fang found out about their going up the mountain early in the morning, this mountain forest is lush, there should be a lot of good medicinal materials, and he just wanted to go and see it.
After leaving the house, I saw that everyone was waiting anxiously, Zhao Si often came over, and everyone thought that he was a child in the family, and they were very worried when they heard that something had happened.
"Let's all get busy, just leave the matter of finding someone to me and my uncle. Second brother, today you will also follow Sister Er Ya and them to the medicine field to help. Zhang Xiaoyan deliberately pushed the second brother away, so as not to let the second brother follow.
The master talked about a lot of things last night, and Zhang Shitong also wanted to practice it. After listening, he looked at the master, and saw that the master nodded and obediently followed the Qin family brothers and sisters, and the second girl went to the medicine field together.
"Xiaoyan, I want to help too." The fat girl looked at Zhang Xiaoyan expectantly.
"Just come with us, Zhong'er, obediently stay at home with your father, don't let your father and mother know so as not to worry." After Zhang Xiaoyan instructed Zhong'er, the three of them went to the backyard.
Going out through the back door, Zhang Xiaoyan took her uncle and the fat girl to the mountain, and then went down the path on the side of the mountain in the direction of the last time she went down the mountain. The path was steep and rugged, and with memory she quickly led them to Kemo's thatched hut.
At this time, there was silence all around, no smoke rose from the thatched huts, and a faint smell of medicine wafted in the air. Xiao Fang asked them to wait in the grass, and went to explore first.
The thatched hut was empty, there was no one at all, and the things in the house were very clean. He cautiously looked at it, stepped in to check it out, and quickly withdrew from inside.
"There's no one in there, and the medicine jars are empty, so let's look around again." He didn't talk about what he found, but focused on finding the child first.
Zhang Xiaoyan also knew the severity, so she didn't continue to ask about this matter, and several people searched along the neighborhood, and finally found the unconscious Zhao Si in the grass pile by the river.
"Zhao Si, Zhao Si, wake up! Wake up! Zhang Xiaoyan was a little panicked when she saw someone fainting in this place, stepped forward and shook Zhao Si vigorously, and when she saw that it had no effect, she pinched one of the others hard.
Belch......
Zhao Si felt a pain and gradually woke up, and saw Zhang Xiaoyan in a daze, thinking that he was dreaming, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Wake up, sleep again and you'll die!" The fat girl yelled loudly.
Zhao Si heard the voice of the fat girl, opened his eyes and sat up clearly, looking at the two people with anxious faces, and there was a strange man beside him, he scratched his head and was a little confused.
"Tell me, how did you faint in this place?" Zhang Xiaoyan looked Zhao Si up and down again in the same tone as a prisoner.
"Ouch......" Zhao Si touched his back that was a little painful, and after spitting, he recalled and said, "...... today"
As soon as he spoke, he looked at the handsome man in front of him again, not knowing whether to say the next words or not, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyan again.
"By the way, this is our uncle, and Xiao Fang, who is also Zhong'er's master." Zhang Xiaoyan gave Zhao Si a brief introduction, and he had already mentioned his uncle's name in front of him.
As soon as he heard that it was Xiao Da Steward of Shanyi Medicine, Zhao Si's spirit came, he stood up with excitement on his face, and bowed to Xiao Fang politely: "Hello uncle, I'm Zhao Si!" ”
"Okay, let's talk about it, why did you faint here?" Xiao Fang saw that Zhao Si was a polite child, and he thought it was quite good.
Zhao Si came back to his senses, looked up and looked around, and then said what happened this morning: "I was waiting for you in the middle of the mountain in the morning, but I accidentally saw a figure. I thought the figure was a little familiar and wanted to follow it to see who it was, but when I was about to follow it down the mountain, I found that the person was gone, and I wanted to go up the mountain, but before I could turn around, I was knocked unconscious. ”
"Are you sure you were knocked unconscious on the way down?" Xiao Fang felt that things were very strange, and asked seriously.
Zhao Si nodded affirmatively, looked around again, and then looked at the place where he was lying just now. There were weeds on the ground, and the basket was placed aside, and it was still to the river.
Odd?
Why didn't that man do himself harm and put himself in this place?
This is also what Zhang Xiaoyan finds strange, there is only one reason, the person who started the attack knows Zhao Si, and he also knows the Zhao family's power in the eastern countryside, and he is afraid that Zhao Si will cause trouble for himself.
Ke Mo!
Yes, it must be Ke Mo!
She said with certainty: "Do you think that person's figure looks like Ke Mo's?" ”
Zhao Si recalled it carefully, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, like Ke Mo's, he must be afraid that I will find something, and he is afraid that if something happens to me, it will arouse everyone's suspicion." ”
"What is Kemo doing on this side of the mountain? Didn't he live at the foot of the East Country Mountain? The fat girl muttered incomprehensibly.
"I guess that the mountain is rich in medicinal materials, and that guy also went up the mountain to collect medicine. However, when you went up the mountain, it was not dawn, what kind of medicine can you pick for the black linen? Zhang Xiaoyan couldn't figure this out, before they went up the mountain before it was dark because of their slow footsteps, but now they are because they have to go up the mountain to practice, and they won't collect medicine in the dark night.
