"I just wanted to go out to find fish fry and visit the rivers and mountains of the Great Harvest Empire, but I never thought that I would be involved in all kinds of mysteries."
Chu Nanzhi murmured to himself, shook his head and slowly walked towards the dam in the middle of the Ma family's hut.
The Ma family had prepared dinner. When Ma Defu saw her coming back from the cliff, he looked very haggard. He came over with some guilt and said with concern: "Ms. Chu, don't worry too much about my brother-in-law's case. Take your time. Anyway, there are still some problems."
time."
Although he didn't know how to solve the case, he also knew the reasoning behind it. It was a very brain-consuming task to summarize the various pieces of information obtained and then find clues from them.
Chu Nanzhi looked at his earnest eyes and just pursed her lips and smiled in response.
"Let's eat first, no matter what, we can't go hungry."
Madford greeted.
Seeing that her son would have surgery in the next day, she could not let her thoughts be affected by other things.
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes and saw that Ma Liu and her daughters-in-law had already begun to bring dishes and meals into the main room. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Why don't we wait for your son and nephew to come back to have dinner together?"
Madford waved his hand: "Well, they won't be able to come back until midnight."
"Later midnight?"
Chu Nanzhi broke into a cold sweat in her heart.
I was lucky and didn't encounter any jackals when I came here. Maybe it was because of the daytime, but night is the prime time for jackals to appear.
When she was worried, she saw Ma Defu put on a carefree attitude and said comfortingly:
"Mrs. Chu, don't worry. My two sons and Laifu are both good hands in the mountains. Three or five jackals can't do anything to him. What's more, there is Li Langjun beside Mrs. Chu. I think he is not an ordinary person.
ah."
Just the big knife on his back is enough to make him frightened.
After hearing his words, Chu Nanzhi felt much relieved.
Indeed, Li Ce's burly and sturdy figure could easily kill a tiger, let alone a wolf.
"Let's go in and eat first. Seeing that Xie Langjun has become much more alert, I asked my wife and daughters-in-law to stew some light chicken soup to replenish his body. I asked him to come back and use some together."
After saying that, Ma Defu put his hands to his mouth with an attentive look on his face, and shouted loudly towards the edge of the cliff, tearing his throat: "Thank you, Sir, come back for dinner."
The sound was long and powerful, and soon reached Xie Jingchen's ears.
Xie Jingchen just turned his head and glanced at it, and then turned back to continue admiring the magnificent scenery of the river.
Ma Defu looked embarrassed, but after receiving two thousand taels of silver from someone, the grievance he suffered was nothing at all.
What's more, he had already noticed that this was no ordinary rich man, so he didn't dare to complain.
Chu Nanzhi glared at Xie Jingchen with half-closed eyes: What a rude and weird guy.
"He can't be compared to us mortals. He doesn't need to eat. Seniors don't have to worry about him."
Chu Nanzhi said sarcastically in the direction of the guy.
Ma Defu looked at her indifferent expression and began to realize that this woman might not have a comprehensive understanding of the person on the cliff, so he carefully reminded her in her ear:
"Although this surname of Xie is not more noble than the surname of the Lin family, as far as I know, there are not many people of the Xie family scattered in our Dahe Empire. A few of them are distributed in various parts of the south. Because they have suffered from wars and suspicions, and
There are no wealthy families with millions of dollars, and the Xie family in my territory cannot do anything like Xie Langjun’s generous temperament of spending a lot of money. Only the Xie family, the royal family of the Baiyu Ten Clan, has this strength.”
Seeing the look of enlightenment on her face, Ma Defu's tone became more determined: "If the old man's guess is correct, Mr. Xie must be from the Xie family of Baiyu."
Chu Nanzhi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the old doctor's ability to infer was so sharp, so she could only pretend to be indifferent and responded: "That's it."
"But Madam Chu, there is no need to be alarmed. Now that the two countries have already concluded an alliance and will be reconciled forever, Mr. Xie must have no ill intentions."
At this point, Ma Defu couldn't help frowning and stroking his beard, and said with a puzzled face: "It's just that Xie Langjun's injury is very strange. Could it be that those with ulterior motives also guessed his identity and did it on purpose?
Will it reignite the war between the two countries?"
"Senior is worrying too much. Even if he is from the Xie royal family, I'm afraid he is just an insignificant royal family member, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this place alone."
As he said this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but murmur in his heart, and began to doubt Xie Jingchen's status among the ten Baiyu clans.
Fortunately, today I have thrown the arrow cluster into the cliff. If Ma Defu can find some clues, I am afraid he can make some articles.
Ma Defu quite agreed with her words, nodded and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Chu said is absolutely true."
Then he felt a lot more at ease and said, "Let's go in and have dinner first. I asked my wife to leave some more chicken soup for Xie Langjun."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi followed him into the house, but she had too many things on her mind and was a little worried about Li Ce's safety. She didn't have a good appetite. After a few simple bites, she got up and went back to the guest room to rest and wait for Li Ce quietly.
Return.
When it got dark, she heard movement outside the door. She rushed out and took a look happily, only to find that it was Xie Jingchen who came back from the cliff. She was about to turn around angrily, but thinking that he was injured, she still endured it.
He couldn't help but said with concern: "Senior Ma asked his family to leave some chicken soup for you. Drink some before you rest. Try not to move around. It's better to rest for a few more days."
"So I can understand that you care about me?"
Xie Jingchen pretended that nothing happened and looked at her with an evil smile.
Chu Nanzhi didn't know how injured this guy was. She couldn't be like Lin Jinxiao who could check his injuries without any scruples. She looked at his relatively good face and saw that he was very lively. He thought he wouldn't die in a while.
.
Faced with his provocative question, Chu Nanzhi just responded indifferently: "If you are really bored, you can slowly understand it yourself."
After saying that, he closed the door and lay back on the couch again.
After a while, I heard Ma Defu's earnest voice coming from next door: "Thank you, Mr. Sir, I have brought you a bowl of chicken soup. Remember to drink some."
Then there was a "squeaking" sound of the door closing.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneer in her heart: "It seems that money is needed."
Now that she had agreed to help Ma Defu operate on his son, and she was going to Haikang County to redress the grievances of the Sun family, she had learned more about the Sun family through contact in the past two days, and she felt a lot more at ease. She was still lying on the couch.
How long did it take for sleepiness to gradually develop?
Seeing that Li Ce and the Ma brothers could not come back, she fell asleep lightly first.
