The relationship between Zhou Hu and the old Zhou family has always been good, not only in the past, but in recent years because his wife had a difficult childbirth, the old Zhou family has helped him a lot. In the past few years, Man Bao would go to give his wife acupuncture from time to time, and give her acupuncture.
Cured.
So after Zhou Lang said something, he agreed without asking what they were looking for.
The Zhou brothers breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat Zhou Hu on the shoulder.
Liu Gui also breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, because the people in Qili Village were very secretive about Zhou Yin and barely talked about Dahu Mountain, the only insider they could find was Mr. Bai.
But Mr. Bai has probably never even set foot at the foot of Dahu Mountain in his life. How does he know where Zhou Yin and his wife died and where they often went in the forest?
So they could only search here inch by inch. He didn't know the others. Anyway, Liu Gui was a little desperate.
It's really too difficult.
Although Zhou Yin may not necessarily have hidden things in places where he has been, it will always be much more convenient to have someone familiar with Dahu Mountain lead the search.
The three parties agreed on this. Of course, this matter must be hidden from the villagers.
After Manbao finished her dinner, she learned from her fourth brother that Zhou Hu had agreed, so she went back to the house to sleep with peace of mind. She had to go to Yizhou City early tomorrow morning.
It was still Zhou Lang and Daji who drove a carriage alone, first went to Luojiang County to pick up Mr. Zhuang, and then turned back to Yizhou City.
This time Mr. Zhuang did not go to the temple fair in Qili Village, but went home. Only three days later, when he saw the three children again, he always felt that they were a little different.
Well, Bai Er hasn't changed much, but Man Bao and Bai Shan have become much calmer. They are not as noisy as before, and they don't know what they are thinking when they sit there.
Zhou Lang had already taken down the car stool and asked Mr. Zhuang to get in the car.
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said to Bai Er, "Erlang, come here, sir, and I will test your homework these days."
Bai Er tensed up immediately. He glanced at Bai Shan and Man Bao, and saw that they gave him helpless looks, so he had no choice but to step forward.
The spring day was still short, so they only stopped to eat some solid food at noon, but after half a day, Bai Er had said everything he could and could not say.
Mr. Zhuang sighed quietly in his heart, took a look at Man Bao, and then got in the car.
Bai Erlang's knowledge was limited, but Mr. Zhuang knew a little bit more.
He didn't know that Bai Shan's father Bai Qihuan was related to Zhou Yin, but he had already vaguely guessed Man Bao's life experience, and Zhou Yin's death was not simple.
He stayed in Qili Village for too long. Not long after Zhou Yin died, Master Bai found Mr. Zhuang because he wanted to find a husband for his eldest son.
Mr. Zhuang came to Qili Village in advance and saw that the folk customs here are quite simple, the scenery is good, and the treatment provided by the Bai family is not bad, so he agreed.
Later, he went from teaching Bai Dalang alone to building a school by the river and began to teach children from several nearby villages, and his contacts with the villagers became closer.
At that time, although the people in Qili Village had kept secrets about Zhou Yin, they had not yet learned how to hide it, so he always felt that there was a secret in it, so he couldn't help but ask Master Bai.
What surprised him was that he felt that Mr. Bai also knew about this matter, but Mr. Bai also participated in concealing it.
Mr. Zhuang still agreed with Mr. Bai's character, so he stopped asking. However, if you live for a long time, you will always know some things without asking.
For example, Lao Zhoutou, who was stingy and loved his children and grandchildren, made an exception for his young daughter Man Bao. He fell ill several times, and the adults in Lao Zhou's family felt as if something big was going to happen.
Obviously when other children in the family, even Sanya and Si Tou, who are younger than Manbao, are sick, they are not so restless.
As many things were accumulated together, Mr. Zhuang had a vague guess.
It's just that he never checked or confirmed it.
Bai Erlang is just adding some evidence and more guesses to his guesses.
Mr. Zhuang thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to say anything, not to ask anything, and just let the children go.
They returned to Yizhou City before sunset. Now that they were older and more energetic, the three of them were not tired at all after a day's ride.
So he went to fetch water, started tidying up his house, and cleaning the study.
Although they had only been gone for five days, Haruhi got dirty easily.
Everyone had tidied up the room, and the cook had just finished cooking. Mr. Zhuang ate with them, and then said: "Bring me your homework later, and I will go to bed after I read it over. I will go to school tomorrow."
Yes, when you study, you should study seriously and think less about other things, you know?"
The three of them bowed in agreement and went back to get their homework.
Early the next morning, Bai Shan went to the mansion to study and Bai Erlang went to the academy. Mr. Zhuang had classes today and also went to the academy.
Man Bao was reading morning lessons alone in the study. After finishing morning lessons, he went to the drugstore.
But when she was almost walking to the drug store with a basket on her back, she turned around and found Zhou Lang following her.
When Zhou Lang saw that he had been discovered, he chuckled, caught up and said, "Manbao, fourth brother will take you to the medicine shop?"
"Fourth brother, if you want to follow me, just do it openly. Being so sneaky scares me to death."
"Okay, okay, then I will follow you openly tomorrow. Come on, fourth brother will take you to the pharmacy."
Man Bao murmured as he walked, "I'm used to walking, I don't need you to send me away."
Zhou Lang walked up to her and whispered: "Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to control your temper and run out for revenge on impulse?"
Man Bao: "...Am I that stupid?"
Just use her small body to rush to Yizhou Palace to seek revenge from King Yizhou?
I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the King of Yizhou, right?
Man Bao glanced at Fourth Brother with disdain and said, "Fourth Brother, you can go do your own thing, I won't be so upset."
After Zhou Lang was sure, he thought for a while, "Forget it, they've all been sent here. I'd better send you to the door of the drug store. I won't send you there tomorrow."
Manbao nodded with satisfaction.
Although Manbao couldn't rush to the Yizhou Palace to seek revenge from King Yizhou, she still did some other things. For example, she went to shopkeeper Lao Zheng and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, I want to meet those medicine farmers, is that okay?"
Shopkeeper Lao Zheng smiled and asked, "Do you want to buy medicinal materials? Tell me what you want to buy. Why do you need to meet the medicinal farmers in person?"
Man Bao shook his head and said: "I want to remember some fresh herbs. I have never seen them before they are processed, so I want to mention them to the herb farmers and ask them to bring them to me next time they deliver medicine.
Something fresh.”
"I told them, but they came too late and the fresh herbs couldn't survive, so they couldn't bring them."
