his dragon [farming]

Chapter 18 Investigation

It wasn't until noon that Qiu He looked forward to the stars and the moon, and only then did he look forward to Shen Baocheng's return home.As soon as Shen Baocheng entered the door, Qiu He went up to meet him and asked what happened on the mountain, and whether the two people were alive or dead.

Shen Baocheng sized Qiu He up and said, "You have sharp ears, where did you hear that?"

"Everyone in the town knows, and you are the only one who keeps it from me!" Qiu He was very dissatisfied with Grandpa.

"He died a long time ago." Shen Baocheng sat down and rested his feet, and said: "I heard that it was a group of people who came to play in the mountains. Last night, two companions disappeared. A group of people searched for a long time and even called the police. Finally, they found the person next to the stream. At that time, the two men were dead. The police have been busy all morning by the beach."

Qiu He bit her lip, was silent for a while, and then murmured, "I'm really dead."

Shen Baocheng nodded, sighed and said, "It's really dead."

The two sat silently. After a while, Shen Baocheng stood up and went to cook. Qiu He followed behind, and couldn't help but said, "Did those people really go to the mountains to play? People in the town said they went to the mountains to hunt." .”

Shen Baocheng drained the soaked face, went to light a fire under the stove, lit the fire, and said: "I can't tell. It doesn't look like it....It looks like a bastard from the city."

Before the grandfather finished speaking, he held back, and Qiu He immediately understood, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the people who had trouble with Bai Chuan last time?"

Shen Baocheng stared at the fire in the stove, nodded, and said, "I guessed it too."

Qiu He was terrified, and asked, "Why didn't they come to look for Bai Chuan, but ran to the mountain instead?"

"Who knows what these people think!" Shen Baocheng said with a frown.

Qiu He was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered Bai Chuan's injuries, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I saw Bai Chuan this morning, and he was seriously injured." A gap!"

Shen Baocheng raised his head in surprise, and looked in the direction of the next door.

Qiu He added: "If I told him to go to the hospital, he wouldn't go, so I went to the clinic in the town to buy some medicine. I don't know if it will help."

Shen Baocheng stood up suddenly and walked towards the west wing.When he reached the window, he stopped, squatted down, picked up a plastic bag from the ground, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked Qiuhe, "Is this the medicine you took?"

Qiuhe also saw it, and the medicine in the bag remained intact.His mood suddenly became extremely bad, he hummed, turned around and was about to go back to his room.

"Qiuhe!" Shen Baocheng followed, his expression seemed a little uneasy, "When you bought medicine, what did you tell others?"

Qiu He looked at his grandfather in amazement, recalled it again, and said, "I didn't go into details, I just said that a family member was injured. Buy some spare medicine and keep it at home."

Shen Baocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and told him: "If someone asks, you can just say so. Just say that you bought it for me. It just so happened that my leg was cut by a tree stump two days ago..."

Qiu He became anxious when he heard it, and interrupted him: "Your leg was cut? How did you cut it? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's just a little bit of skin." Shen Baocheng looked at Qiuhe, his old heart was very relieved, after all, it was his own grandson, and when he heard that he was injured, he became anxious like that.He hurriedly explained: "I often walk in the mountains, what day don't I scratch and rub?"

After all, Qiu He forced Grandpa to sit down, and then lifted his trousers to take a look. Sure enough, there was a long blue-red scratch on the calf, and blood was already visible in the deep part of the scratch.Anyway, the medicine was ready-made, and Bai Chuan didn't need it, so it happened to be applied to Grandpa, so Qiu He opened a box of Yunnan Baiyao, and carefully sprinkled it on the wound.

The two were busy when a few people walked in outside the courtyard.Shi Laoliu from the town accompanied two policemen into the courtyard of the Shen family.A group of people chatted politely, Shen Baocheng took out cigarettes and passed them around one by one, and Qiu He moved chairs for them to sit on.One of the old policemen looked Qiuhe up and down and asked, "Old Shen, is this your grandson?"

Shen Baocheng nodded, "He's not in good health, his mother sent him here." Shi Laoliu listened, and added: "Qiuhe grew up in a big city, and only came to town this summer."

The old policeman was surnamed Wang, but he was very kind. He looked at Qiuhe and asked, "I heard that you went to buy a large pack of medicine from Dr. Qi in the town this morning. What's the matter? Who was injured?"

Qiuhe's heart skipped a beat, thinking of his grandfather's instructions, he had never lied in his life, and he was even more speechless in front of the police, so he quickly lowered his head, Lao Wang felt strange, and immediately said: "You Don't be afraid, tell me the truth, who did you buy the medicine for?"

"Who else can I buy it for? Me." Shen Baocheng took the words, he lifted his trousers, let the few people see his injuries, and took out the medicine bag he had just collected, and said in a reproachful tone: " A child who grew up in the city was frightened to death when he saw a small wound, and he had to drag me to the clinic. If I didn’t go, he bought me a lot of medicine, which made me so angry! When was I so rich? Is it possible to pick two handfuls of herbs from which mountain? With so much money, how long will it take to use this medicine? When I came back, I said a few words to him, and I still have a big temper, and I have been angry with me until now..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Qiuhe. The young man lowered his head and said nothing, and he really looked wronged.

Shi Laoliu interrupted Shen Baocheng with a smile: "Uncle Shen, I didn't mean you! Qiuhe ran to buy medicine because he felt sorry for you. This is a child's filial piety! There are not many young people who are so caring now. You Let's be content with old age!"

Shen Baocheng babbled to himself: "How much money do you earn in total in one year? Just let him be lavish! I really don't know how much food is expensive..."

Old Wang also laughed, and jokingly said: "Old Shen, you old man, my daughter earns a lot of money outside, and you still save so little money! Why do you save so much money? When you get old, take it into the coffin?"

Old Shen cocked his neck and said, "She earns what she earns, and I don't need a penny from her anyway!"

"Qiuhe, don't you know what to say to this old jerk? You just say that when you get old, you can lie on the bed and not move. Let me see if you still have the courage you have now!" Shi Laoliu joked, defending Qiuhe.

A few people chatted for a while, Shen Baocheng asked the two policemen about the situation in the morning, Lao Wang also complained a few words, their grassroots police force was seriously insufficient, and the higher-ups insisted on strict investigation.Those people claimed that they came to the mountains to play, and it was false when they heard it. What is there to do in this remote country?At a glance, it is clear that they came from poaching on the mountain, and they can only be considered unlucky if they encounter a bear.

After talking for a while, the three of them left, saying that they would go to Lin Baichuan to inquire about the situation.Before going over, Old Wang told Shen Baocheng that if he found anything unusual while patrolling the mountain, he must contact the police in time.Shen Baocheng agreed, and when a few people went to the next door, Shen Baocheng turned his head and entered the door, and saw Qiu He looking at him with strange eyes.

"Grandpa, why are you lying?" Qiu He stared at Shen Baocheng, whispered but firmly said: "Bai Chuan has something to do with this matter, right?"

Shen Baocheng stared at him in a trance for a while, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll go over to see Bai Chuan first, eat the leftovers first, don't wait for me."

After speaking, he went into the west wing room, leaving Qiuhe alone, and sat in the yard for a long time.

Why did those people enter the mountain?How did you die?How did Bai Chuan get his injuries?What did he do?What does grandpa know?Qiu He felt chills all over his body after thinking about it.

He originally thought that his relationship with his grandfather and Bai Chuan was extraordinary now. They lived together, often ate together, chatted together, and they were already as familiar as a family. However, at this moment he realized that his understanding of them was still only fur.

After Shen Baocheng came back from Bai Chuan's house that day, Qiu He had already gone to bed.Shen Baocheng stood at the door of Qiuhe's room for a while, seeing that he had fallen asleep, he walked away lightly.

As soon as he walked away, Qiu He opened his eyes.He didn't fall asleep at all, but suddenly he didn't want to listen to any perfunctory words from grandpa.

Qiu He could tell that Grandpa trusted Bai Chuan far more than him.He believes that even if Bai Chuan shoots at him now, grandpa will think that Bai Chuan didn't do it on purpose, at most, the gun went off without asking why.He didn't know where this trust came from, but it made him sad to think that they kept everything from him.

Qiuhe thought angrily, if they want to hide it, they can hide it, so he just pretended not to be interested.

But thinking of the two people who died in the mountains, Qiuhe became restless.

He has a balance in his heart. On one end of the scale are those bastards who secretly put snakes in his yard and come to fight with him; on the other end are Bai Chuan and his kind-hearted grandfather.There is no doubt that the boy's heart is inclined to the grandfather's side. ——But that is two lives after all!He clearly knew that Bai Chuan had a lot to do with this matter, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't do anything!

Qiu He was so entangled that she stayed up all night, and when she woke up in the morning, her dark circles appeared.

The next day was a sunny day, and Qiu He saw Bai Chuan move the grain to the sun valley flat to dry as if nothing had happened.

If he hadn't seen his back with his own eyes, Qiu He couldn't believe it. It didn't look too strenuous for a person to be able to carry a sack of grain with such a serious injury.

Bai Chuan also saw Qiu He, he opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally went back to the house without saying anything.This made Qiu He even more depressed.

That night, when Shen Baocheng returned home from the mountain, he brought back a basket of herbs.He boiled the roots and leaves of the herbs into a can of thick black juice, then packed it in a small pot and sent it to Bai Chuan's house.

When he came back, he frowned, sat in the yard and sighed.

The next day, because he had to go to Yuntai early in the morning, Shen Baocheng prepared the medicine and asked Qiu He to send it over in a while to help Bai Chuan with hot compresses.Qiu He said angrily, "I won't go!"

Shen Baocheng was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, then I'll come back at noon."

After hearing this, Qiu He felt even more uncomfortable.I had no choice but to say angrily: "Okay! Put it there and send it there for you later!"

Shen Baocheng left, and before he left, he flattered Qiu He and said, "Grandpa will bring you grapes when you come back!"

Qiu He grumbled at home for a while, but in the end he reluctantly took the pot and turned through the window to the yard next door.There was no one in the room, and after Qiu He gave a feed, he heard some movement in the bedroom, and Bai Chuan said from inside, "Come in."

Qiu He took a breath, took the medicine expressionlessly, and walked into Bai Chuan's bedroom.
