Chapter 104: Scattering the Wild
In the middle of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, even if it is early in the morning, there is no wind.
Sheng Zhu felt cold.
At her feet were sand pits, and beside the pits were still fresh gastrodia poles, and the most important fruit underneath was gone.
Gastrodia, stolen!
"Ah-" Shen Zheng beat his chest, "Who is it?" Which bastard did it? Lao Tzu is going to peel his skin! ”
He regretted that he should have come to see it a few more times last night, because he was not vigilant enough that no one would come and steal the crops. Who knows, seeing that the harvest is about to be harvested, this happened.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."The young man was full of guilt, and his eyes were red.
Sheng Zhu took a deep breath, now is not the time to hold him accountable, the top priority is to find out the thief and make up for the loss.
"I don't blame you, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. We can't stay here all the time, and it's normal for someone to take advantage of it. She pointed to the remaining gastrodia over there, "Little San'er, don't cry in a hurry, go count and see how many trees have been lost." ”
After thinking about it, he called the dog over again and asked it to act as a police dog for the time being, "Baimei, your nose is more smart, smell around, can you find out the trace of that person." ”
The white eyebrows pursed and began to circle around the sand.
It's really angry dog, if it doesn't have to protect the little master during the day and have to sleep at night, it can only come to patrol twice in the morning and evening, how can a thief get his hands on it.
Hmph, when that person is found, if he doesn't leave an indelible mark on him, it won't be white!
Seeing that one person and one dog were busy, Sheng Zhu also completely calmed down.
Gastrodia is precious, but not many people know it, or even no, so most people don't know how valuable it is, let alone steal it.
Then there are two possibilities. First, those who have enmity with their family deliberately engage in sabotage; Second, it cannot be ruled out that someone accidentally learned the value of gastrodia and committed stealing it out of greed.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, they have a grudge against their family and are greedy for money, who will this person be......
"Lady." Shen Liang patted the sand on his hands, walked over calmly, and comforted, "Don't worry, that person can't run away." ”
So sure? Sheng Zhu's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Do you know who he is?" ”
Shen Liang shook his head, "I don't know." He smiled, "However, I have just taken a closer look, and there are twenty-three stolen in all, and each one is only a pole, the cut is very smooth, and there are traces of sacks dragging on the ground, obviously prepared." I guess that person must have known that gastrodia could be sold for money, so he came to steal it. As for why it wasn't all stolen, it's probably too late, for fear of being caught. ”
I thought of it with her.
But I still don't know who that person is.
Seeing that she was still frowning, Shen Liang continued: "Think about it, he stole gastrodia, he can't keep not making a move, right?" It must be sold, either to the town or the county, after all, it will not be fresh for a long time, which will affect the price. Baicaotang has branches in the town and county, if the peers receive so much black red gastrodia, they will definitely get the news, when the time comes, we will go to the Qin Imperial Doctor to inquire, and then follow the vine to touch the melon, still worried that we can't find the thief? ”
Sheng Zhu glanced at his father-in-law in surprise, but he didn't expect that Shen Liang not only had great strength, but also the ability to solve cases.
"You're right." She nodded, "But this process is too long, and when we find someone, maybe the money has already been lost by him." So, we have to do it quickly. ”
"What are the plans of the lady?"
Sheng Zhu sneered: "Report to the official!" ”
The idea of going to the police if there is a problem is ingrained in her mind, and as long as something happens, her knee-jerk reaction is to call the police. Although the government of this era is far inferior to her previous life, since it has been established, of course, it must play a starting role.
As long as the government intervenes, things will be much easier.
"Wow!" Bai Mei suddenly ran over with a fluttering eyebrow, stretched out one of his front paws and pointed at the village, then ran two steps forward, and looked back at her.
Sheng Zhu perked up and asked it, "Do you have a clue?" ”
The dog's head nodded.
Sheng Zhu was overjoyed and asked Shen Zheng to continue to stay in place to protect the scene, she and Shen Li followed behind Bai Mei, chasing the smell of the thief all the way into the village.
Finally, it stopped at the gate of the courtyard of the big house.
"Wang-" Bai Mei screamed twice, it smelled the smell of gastrodia, and it was inside.
The couple looked at each other, and neither of them seemed surprised by this result.
Before they could knock on the door, Lai's loud voice came from inside: "What is the soul?" Get out of the way! If you wake up my son, my mother will slaughter you with a dog! ”
Bai Mei grinned, took a few steps back to look at the height of the fence, and then jumped into the courtyard.
There was a sudden howl of chickens inside.
"Ahh Dead dog, go away! Dad, help! ”
Immediately afterward, Lai pulled the deadbolt and stumbled out, looking back as he ran, his face full of fear.
The last time I went to the second room to find trouble, she was bitten by Bai Mei's neck, and now she has a psychological shadow. I thought it was just a few words of scolding through the door, but I didn't know that this dog didn't take the usual path and jumped directly over the wall, which scared her enough.
Seeing the two people standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lai's pounding heart stabilized, and he crossed his waist and shouted: "Sheng, do you still have a tutor for your dog?" Run to our house and spread wild, believe it or not I'll kill it! ”
Sheng Zhu smiled, "Auntie, it seems that you scolded it first, right?" Bai Mei is not a person, and he doesn't know the reason of scolding and not returning the favor. ”
Lai: "......"
She was about to sit on the ground and slap her thighs and cry, but saw Sheng Zhu and Shen Liang ignoring her at all, and directly raised their feet into the yard, so they had to follow, "Hey! What are you two going to do? ”
Sheng Zhu looked at Bai Mei, who sniffed on the ground, and then ran straight to the West House, and the couple immediately followed.
The door to the house was closed.
Shen Li's eyes darkened, there used to be a family of five here, but now I don't know who it was left to.
Mrs. Yan walked out with the support of Uncle Shen, her face was not salty or light, and asked, "Da Lang, came here early in the morning, but you came to give your grandmother a pension?" ”
Shen Liang smiled, "The pension is not in a hurry, I will naturally give it when the time comes." I came here today to ask my grandmother to take the lead and return the things that were dug up from our family's field. ”
What's in the ground? Mrs. Yan was surprised, "Is there land in the second room?" ”
Uncle Shen reminded in a low voice: "Their family has a few acres of sandy land in the back mountain. ”
The whole village knew about this, and many people were still snickering behind their backs, saying that the second room of the Shen family was crazy to think about it, and even wanted sand. As for the crops growing on the sand, they didn't pay much attention to it, who knows what kind of strange grass it was, it wasn't crops anyway.
Mrs. Yan remembered, as if there was something like this, "What's the matter, the things in the field were stolen?" ”
Shen Li's tone was firm: "It's a person from the big house." ”
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Shen was angry on the spot: "Nonsense! Is it possible to grow fairy grass in your field? It's fairy grass, and our family will never take a second look! Hmph, don't think that Dafang has been short of money recently, so he splashed dirty water on our heads and said that we are thieves, what evidence do you have? ”
"Evidence...," Shen Liang pointed to the door of the West House, "just go in and take a look." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door creaked open, revealing Hu Yuniang's charming and natural face.
