Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 180 Met an acquaintance!
this taste?

The corners of Gu Qi's mouth curled up, and in the night, his eyes flashed with an indifferent cold light.

It's the peculiar fishy smell of small dragon snakes, and it seems that there is indeed no wrong place.

*
Gu Qi did not approach rashly, but searched around first, making sure that there were no traces of Liu Yong and others, and then went around to the back of the courtyard, and jumped into the courtyard.

This house occupies a large area, and a pergola is built in the backyard. There are a lot of sundries piled up inside, emitting a rancid smell.

Gu Qi frowned, took out a veil, and covered his face.Only then did he lighten his steps, and slowly approached the only room where the oil lamp was lit.

*
"Yiniang, did you really deliver that letter to Xiaoqi Village?" A man's voice was deliberately lowered from inside the house.

Gu Qi got closer, and then heard a woman's clear and gentle voice.

"I gave it away half a month ago, and it was Qin Huairen who took it away himself."

The woman was a little cautious when she spoke, obviously afraid of the middle-aged man in front of her who was asking questions.

"But in the letter from Gucheng County, Qin Huairen did not send the little holy snake there last month." The middle-aged man suppressed his anger, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you notice anything unusual when you went to Xiaoqi Village yesterday? "

The young woman shook her head: "I didn't find anything unusual.

But I didn't dare to enter the village, for fear of being seen, I just looked outside the village.Qin Huairen didn't come out, and I didn't know if he was still in Xiaoqi Village, so I left a wooden sign in the grove.If the Qin family saw the wooden sign, they would probably look for it. "

The middle-aged man was a little impatient: "The master is in a hurry to get the little holy snake. If you don't send it over, it will make the master unhappy, and you should understand what the consequences will be."

Speaking of which, the middle-aged man paced back and forth in the house a few times, and then asked, "How many little holy snakes do you have available here?"

"There's only one basket." The woman said cautiously with some fear, "Xiahe Village is not suitable for keeping little holy snakes in captivity. The ones raised in my yard were also sent over by Qin Huairen before. There are not many of them."

"How long can you live?"

"With holy water, you can live for up to ten days."

"Ten days? It takes at least three days to go to Gucheng County." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "You prepare the snake, and I will take it away tomorrow morning. Also, pay attention to Xiaoqi Village and see Qin Huairen Did you come back?"

"Yes, Second Master Su." The young woman agreed softly.

Gu Qi clung to the window, hesitating whether to imitate TV dramas and slobber to pierce the window paper.Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound from inside.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man suddenly changed his voice in whispers and intermittent gasps that appeared to be short-lived.

Gu Qi leaned against the window and listened for a long time, but heard a sentence: "Yiniang, undress the second master."

Then came the woman's panting voice: "Second Master Su, no."

Dim light shines through the window, Gu Qi sees the silhouette of the woman named Yi Niang stepping back.And the man's gradually perverted laughter.

"." Gu Qi.Is this for driving?
Gu Qi waited for a while, and soon the oil lamp in the house was extinguished, and there were bursts of indescribable movements in his ears.

Rubbing his temples, Gu Qi backed away softly, groping towards other rooms.

*
This is an ordinary farmyard. Apart from the toilet and kitchen, there are six other rooms in total, one firewood room, two brick houses, and three adobe houses.

Xiahe Village is not richer than Xiaoqi Village, and this kind of house is regarded as a middle-class family in Xiahe Village, which is not very eye-catching.

The firewood room was unlocked, so Gu Qi groped his way in easily.As soon as he entered the firewood room, Gu Qi could smell the strong stench of little dragon snakes.

I saw that this is the place where Yi Niang raised snakes.

Without a lamp or fire book, Gu Qi closed his eyes and adjusted for a while, and then he looked at the situation in the firewood room with the moonlight that penetrated faintly.

The size of this firewood room is not small, and there are three snake boxes near the corner.Two of them are empty, only the largest snake box contains dozens of small dragon snakes with two horns swimming around.

Gu Qi took a closer look at these little dragon snakes, and found that the spirits of these snakes were very poor, and they seemed to be holding a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the conversation between the middle-aged man named Su Erye and Yi Niang just now.Gu Qi understood a little bit that feeding dragons and snakes requires a special living environment, such as the dense forest deep in the South Mountain of Xiaoqi Village.

Although Gu Qi didn't know what was in that dense forest, it was obvious that it was very suitable for the survival and reproduction of little dragon snakes.

And once it leaves the dense forest, the little dragon snake can only live for three to five days under normal circumstances, and it can last at least ten days with the holy water they call.

Gu Qi searched around the snake box, and soon found a water-stained wooden bucket, lifted the wooden lid on it, and saw that there was half a bucket of water in it, and there was also a ladle.

Gu Qi took a ladle and smelled it.

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Qi's mouth curled into an undetectable arc.

The so-called holy water is a diluted medicinal soup boiled with several medicinal herbs. Gu Qi smelled the same as the medicinal herbs in the self-made snake powder.

Gu Qi searched around the place where the holy water was placed, and saw a few discarded small bamboo pots in the corner, took one of them and filled it with some holy water, and prepared to take it back for comparison when configuring it himself.

Since using this thing can make the little dragon snake survive longer, it means that I don't need to run to the dense forest every now and then.

At that time, people will build a special snake room in the camp and catch them once every seven or eight days, which can save a lot of effort.Even sending snakes to Jiangling County, there is no need to worry about whether the meat is fresh or not.

After leaving the firewood room, Gu Qi quietly searched all the rooms again.

Except for the first room with the lights on, a sleeping child was found in the bedroom facing east, only two or three years old.The rest of the rooms were empty.

Liu Yong was not in the courtyard either.

Gu Qi frowned. According to the conversation between Second Master Su and Yiniang just now, obviously neither of them noticed that Liu Yong followed Yiniang into Xiahe Village yesterday.

But a day and a night have passed, since Liu Yong has not returned to the camp and is not in Xiahe Village, where will he go?
Turning out the yard of Yiniang's house, Gu Qizheng was about to leave Xiahe Village the same way, when he suddenly heard the slight creaking sound of wooden doors swaying from another small farmyard more than ten feet away from Yiniang's house.

Now it is approaching the fourth watch, who will go out at this time?
Gu Qi paused, quietly dodged to the nearby courtyard wall, and hid his figure.

After waiting for a few breaths, he heard footsteps coming from the yard, Gu Qi glanced sideways under the moonlight, and saw two people walking out of the yard.

One of them was Liu Yong.

As for the other person, Gu Qi also looked very familiar.
