Chapter 761: Someone is stealing medicinal herbs
At the beginning, the powerful family really didn't find these small actions for Lao Er, but since Lao Er stole these medicinal materials, he found that the profits were very powerful, and people's appetite was raised, so it was difficult to get smaller, so the frequency of stealing medicinal materials for Lao Er was increasing, and the number of medicinal materials stolen was also increasing.
Moreover, because of his illness, Lao Er has always been lucky, and he feels that eating some precious medicinal materials may be a little beneficial to him, so he has been stealing medicinal materials.
Because there are too many small actions for Lao Er, so someone slowly discovered the strangeness in it.
Speaking of which, the discovery of the second is also a very accidental thing.
One day, two villagers in the village went up the mountain to cut some firewood, by the way to pick up some game to improve the food, when they walked to the top of this mountain, they found that there was a piece of land that was bald, and there was nothing on it, so the old villager asked the young villager next to him very strangely, "Son, do you feel that there seems to be something strange about this land, there are medicinal herbs planted next to it, but there is a piece missing here, and I feel that it is not for other reasons, it should have been secretly dug up." ”
Hearing his father say this, the young villager also paid attention to the situation of Siwei, and indeed found that this medicinal material should have been secretly dug up, this is for Lao Er, a stupid man, he is stealing medicinal materials, he doesn't know how to steal in a scattered way, not to take a little in one place, but to steal in one place, so Lao Er's whereabouts were soon discovered by the people in the village.
The two villagers knew that this was a matter in the village, and they must not sit idly by, so the young villager thought for a while and said: "That person is quite unreliable, if he secretly took out these medicinal materials and sold them when he was guarding the mountains, it is also very possible." ”
However, another elderly villager still has great hopes for the company, and said to his child, "Although the old man's behavior was not good, he has not changed a lot recently, so let's not rashly wronged others, in case we find out that things are not like this, it will hurt his heart." ”
But the young villager didn't think much of his father's words, he felt that for the old two is that the dog can't change the, and it is impossible to change, but for his father's words, the young villager did not deny it, so he had to listen to his father's opinion, "Then father, how should you do it?" ”
The elderly villager thought for a moment and said, "Since we have already discovered this matter, it is not good to pretend that we don't know about it, so why don't we go directly and ask what happened to the blank land of Wei Er?" ”
The young villager listened to his father's words, and felt that even if he did something sorry for the family, he would not admit it, but his father's opinion was very stubborn, so he could only reluctantly follow his father to confront Wei Lao Er face to face.
Wei Lao Er saw that the villagers of this respected uncle generation in the village came over, so he also greeted him respectfully and said, "Uncle, why did you bring my brother over to visit me today, what's wrong?" ”
The elderly villager smiled and said, "I just came up with your brother to see what game he can hunt, but ah, just now we passed by the place where the medicinal herbs are planted and found a vacant lot, it feels like the medicinal herbs have been stolen by others, have you found anything here recently." ”
When the second elder heard his uncle's words, he was very nervous, thinking that he had stolen medicinal herbs and sold them had been discovered.
Hearing such kind words from this uncle, it is estimated that this matter has not been suspected of him, and he is relieved in his heart.
Wei Er then pretended to be puzzled and said, "Really? How could such a thing happen? Recently, I have been working hard to check, and I will inspect it every night before going to bed, and there are still people doing such things under my nose, uncle, take me to take a look, I will see what the situation on the scene is like. ”
So in this way, with the anxious expression on his face, Wei Lao Er successfully deceived this uncle, and when he heard Wei Lao Er's words, he put his heart down and said, "Hey, I am relieved to hear you say this, just now, your younger brother said that you did it, I just said, you have changed your evil now, how can you do those things that stole chickens and dogs before, I will take you over now to see where this place is." ”
Just walked to the land where the medicinal materials were stolen, for Lao Er and the father and son came here again, for Lao Er himself made a lot of money in the city through medicinal materials, but everything was picked casually by himself, and today I saw this abrupt blank space, and I did find a problem, and secretly complained that I was too stupid, why my usual smart mind was useless.
So Lao Er deliberately pretended to be innocent and said: "How can you say such a thing, I was obviously very serious when I was guarding the mountain, it may be that some other people ran up to steal medicinal herbs while I was asleep in the middle of the night, but don't worry, no matter what, I didn't do a good job in this matter, and I will be more vigilant." ”
The elderly villager heard Wei Er say this, and then said with emotion, "I don't blame you for this, I can only say that the thief is too bad now, but yes, I still have to remind you that the time to strengthen this patrol in the near future." ”
When Lao Er heard this, he hurriedly said flatteringly: "Okay, uncle, I will definitely do what you ask, and you still have to come and remind me today, otherwise, I may only know until this piece of medicinal materials is stolen by others." It's getting late, why don't you go to my place for dinner? ”
The older villager shook his head and said, "Okay, don't bother you, let's go back to eat, you have to pay attention recently, the weather is slowly getting colder, pay attention to yourself on the mountain, and those beasts or something, you must pay attention to safety." ”
After saying this, Wei Er said goodbye to the father and son, looking at their figures gradually drifting away, for Lao Er finally put his heart at ease, fortunately there was no danger today, and a smile was put on Lao Er's face again.
However, it seems that it is too early to be proud of Lao Er, because no matter what he does for Lao Er, this young villager does not believe his words, because no one else has come up to this place, how can it be lost like this?
This person is definitely strange, but he can't say it in front of his father now, because his father has always thought that there is nothing wrong with being Lao Er, so this young man decided to wait until he goes down the mountain to find a way to investigate this matter.
But by the time the villagers got home, it was already getting late.
So after eating with his father, he went back to his room to rest, and his daughter-in-law saw that when he came back from the mountain, he had not been in a good mood, as if he was thinking about something, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" How did you come down from the mountain, like a different person, absent-minded? ”
The villager told his daughter-in-law about his doubts, "Father feels that the loss of medicinal materials in that land has nothing to do with Lao Er, but I don't believe it, I think Wei Lao Er is so cunning and lazy, how can he suddenly change his personality?" After all, we said that nature is hard to change. ”
His daughter-in-law saw that he had been bothering about this matter, and said indifferently: "Forget it, it's getting late now, don't worry about this, if you want me to say, you will get up early tomorrow morning and tell Chu Hengyu about this matter, anyway, going there to guard the mountain is Chu Hengyu's fool's suggestion, if there is really something that damages the interests of our village, then Chu Hengyu fool will definitely have to carry it, let's not care about it so much." ”
When this villager heard his daughter-in-law say this, he nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "My good daughter-in-law, you are so smart, okay, I will go and tell Chu Hengyu tomorrow that he is a fool." ”
So the two of them fell asleep affectionately, and on the morning of the second day, after the villager woke up, he dressed and planned to go to Chu Hengyu fool, his daughter-in-law looked at him so actively and said: "Don't be so anxious, just go to him after breakfast in a while." ”
But this person hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I've been waiting for a day, but I can't delay it, if I'm waiting, I don't know what kind of things will be done for Lao Er, what if he covers up the matter of this medicinal herb?" So I'm going to find Chu Hengyu now. ”
So, just like that, the villager found Chu Hengyu fool, Chu Hengyu fool was eating breakfast and saw this villager coming, so he hurriedly beckoned, "Why did you come to my house today, you shouldn't have eaten breakfast so early, come and use a little together." ”
But where was this villager still in the mood to have breakfast, so he pulled Chu Hengyu to the fool and said secretly: "I have something to tell you, come here!" ”
Chu Hengyu followed him out, didn't understand what was going on, and asked very strangely, "What's wrong?" What happened to you? Why is your face a little wrong today? ”
So the villager hurriedly wrote, "This matter, in fact, has nothing to do with me, it is a matter for the second child." ”
"For the second child, what's wrong with the second brother?" , Chu Hengyu asked suspiciously, "Hasn't he been honestly guarding the mountain in his mouth?" ”
"Hey, you were deceived by him, I saw him on the mountain yesterday, he is not thin, Fan Er eats with a ruddy face."
Chu Hengyu was a fool when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing? After all, he is my brother, and I can rest assured that he is a good mix. ”
