After Shen Chen finished eating, he said that he was guarding the four treasures and letting Lin Xi sleep.

Lin Xi said: "It's inconvenient for me to sleep next door." And Sibao follows me, if she has something, I know medical skills and can deal with it in time. ”

When Shen Chen heard this, he said that he would stay.

Where can Lin Xi agree.

Shen Chen is a big man staying by her side, how can she rest?

It was easy to say that Lin Xi persuaded Shen Chen to leave, quickly went to bed and got into the quilt, and slept with Sibao in his arms.

As expected, Sibao had a fever in the second half of the night, Lin Xi woke up in a daze, used the silver needle left by Dr. Luo to give Sibao a needle, and went out to decoct Sibao.

Fortunately, Shen Chen heard the movement and came out, Lin Xi was sleepy, told him how to decoct the medicine, and went back to sleep by himself.

This sleep, Lin Xi fell asleep directly, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, and Sibao shrank quietly in her arms, her two little hands tightly grasping her clothes.

Lin Xi reached out and probed Sibao's forehead, the high fever had subsided, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She got dressed lightly and got out of bed, and took the medicine next to her to change the medicine for Sibao before going out.

As soon as the door was opened, the three Dabao who were waiting outside looked at each other.

Lin Xi was surprised and signaled to whisper: "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Erbao whispered back: "We're worried about Sibao and can't sleep." Did Sibao wake up? ”

"You haven't woken up yet, if you want to go in, be careful not to wake up the four treasures." Lin Xi admonished, and then asked, "What about Shen Chen?" ”

Dabao said: "Daddy is in the stove room. ”

Lin Xi made way to let the three of Dabao in, walked to the stove room, and sure enough, he saw that Shen Chen was making breakfast, and the porridge was about to be cooked.

Hearing the voice, he said, "I'll be able to eat it later." ”

Lin Xi went in, replaced Shen Chen to make a side dish with porridge, and said, "You already fed the medicine to Sibao last night?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why don't you wake me up, Sibao is a little afraid of hardship and doesn't want to drink medicine, I can help coax her."

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay."

Lin Xi went to wash a handful of bamboo shoots, and when he came back, he saw that Shen Chen was still there, and said in surprise: "Aren't you going to do something else?" ”

Shen Chen looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and only after a moment did he say, "I have something to say to you." When I went to the county last night, I asked for a porter and told them to come in two days. On the workers' side, I also said hello. ”

Lin Xi nodded, "Something happened to Sibao, do you have to postpone it, or are you thoughtful." ”

Shen Chen said: "I will also go to the yamen in the county with the village chief in a while, and I should return at noon." ”

Lin Xi said: "Then you can bring the bloody stone with you, it is physical evidence." ”

If you want Lin Xi to say, the murder of Sibao is a little difficult to investigate.

In these years, there were no surveillance, fingerprints and other methods in later generations, basically relying on pure manpower, there are several roads in Chenyang Village, and the passers do not know how many, and the thieves do not know where to go.

Lin Xi sighed and said, "Just do your best, the most important thing is that the four treasures are fine, this is the greatest luck." ”

Shen Chen said, "I'll find out." ”

Lin Xi didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, and patted him on the shoulder as if encouraging.

……

After breakfast, the village chief happened to come and went to the county with Shen Chen.

Lin Xi didn't stay at home very well, and after thinking about it, he said to Dabao San: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon." If you are in danger, you shout loudly, and I can hear it nearby. ”

Dabao nodded obediently.

Lin Xi went out and found the place where Sibao was killed yesterday.

There was still blood on the ground, which was shocking.

Lin Xi leaned over and carefully looked for any missing clues on the ground, and after looking for a long time, she suddenly heard someone call her: "Shen family lady!" ”

As soon as Lin Xi looked up, it turned out to be the matchmaker Chen he saw last time.

Mrs. Chen twisted her waist and threw her handkerchief, with a look of curiosity and fear: "I heard that your family's four treasures were robbed yesterday, and their heads were smashed out of a big hole, and they were scared to death!" ”

Lin Xi didn't want to talk about this kind of thing to outsiders, so he said a few words perfunctorily, so he lowered his head and continued to look for it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy in her heart, and deliberately said: "Didn't I say, the lady of the Shen family, is it useful for you to find it like this?" It is better to find someone who can be trusted, and maybe they can protect you. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, my father-in-law has already sued the yamen, and I believe the official family will give an explanation."

Mrs. Chen sneered: "To put it bluntly, a girl was accidentally killed, and the person is fine, and the yamen's daily official affairs are piled up, can you still find time to check that?" ”

Lin Xi couldn't help frowning and looked at Mrs. Chen: "What do you mean?" ”

Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy when she saw Lin Xi.

She originally received the matchmaking money from the Fang family, and she should not be worried about life by the end of the year, who knows that the bamboo basket will be empty. Even if she looked at the void, Lin Xi was still there, what could she do? In desperation, she had to return the matchmaking money to the Fang family, and suffered a big loss!

Mrs. Chen deliberately showcased: "Naturally, find someone who has a lot to do with the yamen!" For example, who in the village doesn't know that Fang Sheng, the son of the Fang family, has some relationship with the yamen, if there is him, the people of the yamen will designate the saddle before and after the horse! I had to do it a few days ago. But according to the relationship between your family and the Fang family, it's not like I can get some! ”

Lin Xi: "......"

Mrs. Chen said at this time: "But even if people are willing, they can't do it, how busy the son of the Fang family is, and he doesn't go back to the village on weekdays, how can you see it?" The day before yesterday, I heard that the Fang family's son came back, but unfortunately he left in a hurry yesterday for some reason, you don't have this blessing! ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "My family has my father-in-law, and I don't need the Fang family." ”

She hasn't settled accounts with Fang Xing'er yet!

Mrs. Chen's face suddenly drooped, turned her head and left.

Lin Xi shook his head speechlessly, continued to search, and finally found nothing in the grass, but found that there seemed to be someone in the grass, which looked messy.

"This piece is upside down, but not much, not like adults hiding, right...... Are the Four Treasures? ”

Lin Xi saw that there were some traces on the ground, and looked for them, and suddenly in the bloodstained gravel pile, he picked up the head flower of the four treasures and found it.

This was selected by Lin Xi personally with the Four Treasures, and it was woven from two short thin belts, but one was missing at the moment.

Lin Xi picked it up and looked at it, and muttered, "It should be that the four treasures struggled and fell during the period." The other one that is missing can't be in the thief, right? ”

Lin Xihu suspiciously took his hair back with him.

It was nearly noon, but Shen Chen didn't come back.

Lin Xi waited at home until the afternoon before Shen Chen came back, and there were two saber officials with him.

The three of Dabao saw each other for the first time, and they were a little scared, so Lin Xi let them go into the house and go to the door to find Shen Chen by himself.

Shen Chen motioned for her not to speak yet, and the same official sent her to search for the place where Sibao had an accident, and the movement attracted many villagers.

Seeing this, Lin Xi immediately took out the hairband he had found, and said his own inference.
