The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 223 Accidental Discovery
The matter of resting at night is also easy to solve. Gou Shitou moved directly to squeeze with the workers, and Wen Nuan and Zhou Lian slept here.

Shen Pingxi went to the west for a long time and did not come back, while Zhou Lian was walking around the fishing ground with Nuan Nuan, suddenly thought of something, and patted Nuan Nuan on the shoulder.

Wen Nuan turned his head sideways, and turned his gaze from the position of a torch on the opposite bank. There should be Shen Pingxi who was still checking the situation.

Zhou Lian made a gesture of being bitten with her hand. Wen Nuan knew that she was talking about the injured person, then made a gesture of rowing a boat, and pointed towards the other side of the lake.

Wen Nuan asked suspiciously, "You mean that the bitten person came to our fishing ground from there by boat?"

Maybe her guess was wrong, Zhou Lian shook her head violently, took Wen Nuan back to the room, and took out a pen and paper.

"The person who was bitten has a boat. Could it be that he was bitten because he wanted to come over?"

Zhou Lian wrote what she wanted to express, which caused Nuan Nuan to fall into deep thought. This thought actually coincided with her own. Could it be that there was something really going on here, even the sensitive Zhou Lian noticed something was wrong?

There were footsteps coming in from outside, and those who hadn't rested all came out to take a look. Nuannuan saw the somewhat embarrassed figure at a glance, hunched over and struggling to breathe heavily, "Xiao Nuan...it's a real shame to walk up. Tired enough..."

It was Uncle Liu. He might have heard about the fishing ground on the mountain, so he just dragged Zhuang Xinyao up the mountain at night. Zhuang Xinyao stood by the side holding a torch with a helpless expression on his face.

"Shopkeeper Liu heard about the incident here, so he insisted on coming up to take a look. He said that he is the big shopkeeper, and he must be present for everything about the Shen family. No, I can only escort him up."

Wen Nuan also smiled helplessly, "Uncle Liu, didn't you tell Shang Ping to take the message back, there is nothing serious on the mountain."

"Who are you Uncle Liu, don't fool me with just a few words, don't worry about me if you don't look at me, I won't leave tonight, I will have something to do tomorrow, I will stay on the mountain, don't rush I'll go back, Uncle Liu's leg is no longer used."

Wen Nuan really had nothing to do, and asked with a smile, "There is still a carriage at home, why don't you drive the carriage up, how tired are you?"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Xinyao was even more unconvinced, curled his lips and said, "I said the same thing, but the shopkeeper Liu said that riding my carriage in the middle of the night to take the mountain road is more terrifying than walking, so don't say anything. When you get in the car, you can only walk up."

Shopkeeper Liu is not young, and the other has never walked such a mountain road at all. How could he know the principle of Wangshan running a dead horse and going up the mountain like climbing the sky? Walking on a short distance can kill people.

At any rate, when people arrive, they can only be placed in the workers' room. Fortunately, the Datong bunk is big enough to accommodate a few more people. No, Zhuang Xinyao, who loves to join in the fun, is eager to stay. not leaving.

Since this mountain road was built, it has been very busy to and fro, large animals will not approach at all, and small animals will avoid this area for activities, Wen Nuan grabbed Zhuang Xinyao's collar and dragged people out of the house.

"Don't pretend to be dead. I know you have the strength to run back and forth again. Go back obediently and tell your family that you are safe. Just say that we are fine on the mountain, and that Uncle Liu is here. Don't worry."

As he spoke, he gave him a hatchet from the fishing ground. After all, it was night, so he had better be careful.

Zhuang Xinyao, who listened to warm words the most, could only shrug his shoulders, obediently obeyed, and the joyful Sa Yazi ran down the mountain, his speed was comparable to that of a wild donkey.

Shen Ping practiced lightness kung fu, directly from the position on the other side of the river, holding the torch high, splashing water and leaping over the lake towards Nuannuan, when he landed, he saw the distant flame and asked, "Is Shangping back?"

"It wasn't Shangping, it was Xinyao who sent Uncle Liu up here, so I'm sending Xinyao back to report his safety."

"Uncle Liu is here too?"

As he said that, he was about to go to the house over there, and Nuan Nuan grabbed him, "Don't go, Uncle Liu has already died half his life when he climbed up. I asked Brother Shito to take care of him and rest."

In midsummer, the night by the lake in the mountains was full of frogs croaking constantly, and the wind also drove away the hot heat with its unique freshness and coolness. The couple stood by the lake and talked.

"You checked over there for a long time, did you find anything?"

Shen Pingxi didn't hide anything, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it without recklessness, and showed it to Wen Nuan. There were water stains on the outside of the oiled paper bag. It seemed to be wrapped in several layers, and it was tightly wrapped. There should be no Ingress of water.

"what is this?"

Nuannuan wanted to take it and tell Shen Pingxi to avoid it, "Don't touch it, there is something like powder inside, I'm going to show it to Elder Shen to have a look."

"I did see traces of fighting on the opposite side, and a lot of blood that was diluted by the water. Judging from these traces, the person should not be dead. There is also an overturned boat in the lake. On the muddy ground on the shore There are tiger paw prints and traces of people climbing ashore. I guess the person was on the boat, was attacked by a tiger, struggled to the shore and was rescued by his companions, or the tiger didn’t want to put people to death, but was just stopping something. Might be the key."

Wen Nuan opened her mouth wide in surprise, this matter became more and more complicated, causing her to think of several possibilities rapidly, none of which was a good thing.

"Are you planning to go down the mountain overnight to find old Shen?"

The key point of all this is what is in the oil-paper bag in Shen Pingxi's hand.

Shen Pingxi nodded without concealing, "Shangping hasn't come back yet, I may go to the city after I have new clues, the return date is uncertain, is it possible for you to guard here?"

"Okay, Brother Shitou and the others are here, and Uncle Liu is also here. We are here, so go and do your work first. I'll wait for you."

In the end, Shen Pingxi didn't hold back, took Nuan's hand and shook it, then turned around and jumped up, borrowed strength from the branches, and quickly disappeared in the direction of going down the mountain, Nuan Nuan looked up from behind, watching The husband who moves as fast as a falcon.

His eyes are full of admiration, and there are two big words in his bright eyes, so handsome!
Thinking about more and more complicated things in her heart, the professional sensitivity of Captain Wen, who has been wandering in various cases for many years in her previous life, told her that something will definitely happen tomorrow. If there is someone behind this incident, she will definitely not be here. Give up easily.

Thinking about it in another way, if you are the person behind it, not only will you not stop here, but you will even use this incident to do something good.

Zhou Lian came out and wanted to tell Nuan Nuan to go back to rest, Nuan Nuan waved her hand, "Go to sleep first, I have something to think about, and also take a look at the night view of the fishing ground, the lake and mountains are really beautiful!"

Zhou Lian could understand that Nuan wanted to think about something. After all, something hurtful happened near the fishing ground during the day, so she worriedly went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, put it within Wen Nuan's reach, and signaled Wen Nuan to shout if something happened.

Nuan Nuan smiled knowingly, nodded to reassure, Zhou Lian went back to the house step by step, and the oil lamp was not extinguished, leaving it to Nuan Nuan to illuminate.
