Ke Hanxue's heart skipped a beat again, and she hurried into her parents' house, lit up the only oil lamp at home, took it out, walked to her own cow, and carefully observed the cow.

Ke Shuisheng and his wife were very nervous when they heard that the thieves were going to steal the cattle, but they were relieved when they saw that the cattle were still there.

As soon as Ke Hanxue approached, the cow seemed uneasy again. Ke Hanxue stretched out a hand and patted the back of the cow, comforting: "Baby, don't be afraid, it's me."

After the cow calmed down, Ke Hanxue checked the rein with an oil lamp. Seeing that the rein was tied well without any trace of movement, Ke Hanxue frowned. Could it be that the man was discovered by grandma before he could do it?
Just when Ke Hanxue was puzzled, Ke Shuisheng came over and stroked the back of the cow a few times, and the cow leaned on Ke Shuisheng, who understood human nature, as if seeking comfort.

Ke Shuisheng laughed, stroked its head lightly, and said, "It's all right, old man."

"Hey, what is this?" Ke Shuisheng frowned and rubbed the powdery thing between his fingers.

Ke Hanxue brought the oil lamp closer, and saw Ke Shuisheng's hands were covered with white powder.

Ke Hanxue's small face sank, and she shone the oil lamp on the bull's head again, and saw that the cow's nose was also covered with powder.

Ke Hanxue took an oil lamp and looked around again, and saw a small piece of cloth on the muddy ground by the cow's feet. There was still powder left on the cloth. The white powder was special under the flickering oil lamp. conspicuous.

"Xue'er, what is that?" Ke Shuisheng frowned and asked.

"I don't know yet, show it to Dr. Hao at dawn." Ke Hanxue said solemnly.

Although I don't know what kind of poison the powder is, Ke Hanxue has already confirmed that someone wants to poison her cattle. Who has such a big hatred with her family and wants to poison her cattle?
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Ke Hanxue - Dasha!
"Do you keep people from sleeping in the middle of the night? Even if the cow is poisoned to death, there is no need to make noise in the middle of the night, right?!" Ke Yu came out of the house yawning.

"That's right, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to pick mulberry leaves!" Ke Hanhe also walked out of another room with a gloating face.

"Second Aunt, how do you know that someone has poisoned my cattle?" Ke Hanxue stood up and asked sharply.

A flash of panic flashed in Ke Yu's eyes, and then he pretended to be calm and said, "If the cow hadn't died, you would have stayed awake in the middle of the night chatting in the courtyard?"

After speaking, Ke Yushi was obviously taken aback when he saw the cow pacing in the yard intact, and took a long time to look away from the cow, and said in a unwilling tone: "If you don't sleep, my mother still wants to sleep." sleeping!"

After Ke Yushi shouted, he turned around and slammed the door shut, and Ke Hanhe glared at the still intact cow and entered the house.

"Xue'er, is it true that someone is drugging our bull?" Ke Shuisheng asked angrily, who is going to make things difficult for him and do such a wicked thing?
Ke Zhongshi and others also looked at Ke Hanxue with worried faces. The news was really shocking.

"Let's talk about it after asking Dr. Hao to see the powder tomorrow." Ke Hanxue didn't want everyone to worry too much.

Ke Hanxue frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Ke Mengshi: "Grandma, did the thief go out from the gate of the courtyard just now?"

"That's right, that person ran out as soon as I scolded him. It seems that the gate of the courtyard was also open." Ke Meng thought for a while before answering.

Ke Hanxue took the oil lamp to the gate of the courtyard and closed the wooden door, checked the bolt, and saw that there was no sign of being pried.

Obviously, the latch was opened by someone from the inside.

Ke Hanxue smiled clearly, and the coldness in her eyes suddenly gathered.

It's really day and night defense, and it's hard to guard against house thieves!
"Grandma, did you see the true face of the thief just now?" Ke Hanxue asked again.

Although she had already guessed that this matter had something to do with Ke Yushi, Ke Hanxue wanted to know who was collaborating with Ke Yushi!

"No, but you can guess it's a man from that figure." Ke Meng said.

"Xue'er, did you discover anything?" Ke Shuisheng asked.

Ke Hanxue rested her chin on one hand, thought for a while, and then said to Ke Shuisheng: "Father, go and tell the village chief that our house has been burglarized, and ask him to come and see."

"Okay, I'll go now."

There was a thief at home, and the cow was almost drugged. Everyone was in no mood to go to sleep, and they entered the hall and waited for the arrival of the village chief.

Ke Yushi and Ke Hanhe held their breath in the house and listened to the movement outside. When they heard that Ke Hanxue asked Ke Shuisheng to invite the village chief, they almost rushed out to stop them.

After about half an hour, the village head and the two village chiefs followed Ke Shuisheng to Ke's house.

"What's going on here?" The village head asked anxiously as soon as he entered the yard. It's not a trivial matter to administer the medicine. He has been the head of Shuihe Village for more than ten years, and he has never had such a serious incident happen. !
"The village head, the patriarch, a thief came to our house just now to try to cure our cattle, but he failed." Ke Hanxue helped one of the older patriarchs onto the stool and said.

"Your father told us about this on the road just now. I want to ask you, have you offended some villain and resorted to such indecent means? If such a vicious person is not caught, How can people live with peace of mind?" The faces of the village head and the two patriarchs were very serious.

Prescribing medicine is a very serious matter. Fortunately, the person who administered the drug was a cow today, but who can guarantee that that person will not drug another person in the future?The village head and the two patriarchs had the same thoughts, and everyone felt uneasy if this person was not caught and brought to justice.

Ke Shuisheng thought for a while, then said: "Village chief, patriarch, besides the big fool in Xiangshui village, I really can't think of anyone I have offended?"

"The idiot of Xiangshui Village?" The village head looked up at Ke Shuisheng: "Why did you offend him?"

This big fool has been pulling an ox cart for several years, and the people sitting in it have all ridden in his ox cart, so they all know him.

"Village head, patriarch, didn't I buy a bullock cart to do the work a while ago? That big fool got into a fight with me when he found out, saying that I deliberately opposed him and robbed him of his business. He even blocked me on the way on purpose that day. Don't let my ox cart pass by." Ke Shuisheng told the village chief and others everything that happened that day.

The village head and the others frowned after hearing this, and they all felt that the possibility of Dasha drugging was the greatest, because Ke Shuisheng and Dasha had a grudge because of the cow, and the thief drugged the cow, so the village People who grow up will naturally think that the person who prescribed the drug is a fool.

Just when the village head and others were relieved that the murderer was not from the village, Ke Hanxue stood up again, took out the small cloth and powder that he had just picked up in the yard, and said: "Village head, patriarch, I found the cloth and powder in the yard just now, I guess the murderer must have been impatient just now, and the cow was scared and refused to submit to strangers, so the murderer was not allowed to succeed."
