After Shen Chen finished eating, he said that he was guarding the Four Treasures and let Lin Xi sleep.

Lin Xi said: "It's not convenient for me to sleep next door. Besides, Si Bao is following me. If she has anything, I know medical skills and can handle it in time."

When Shen Chen heard this, he said he would stay too.

How could Lin Xi agree?

How could she rest when Shen Chen, a grown man, stayed by her side?

After much persuasion, Lin Xi persuaded Shen Chen to leave, quickly got into bed and got into bed, holding Si Bao in his arms to sleep.

As expected, Si Bao had a fever in the middle of the night. Lin Xi woke up in a daze, used the silver needle left by Doctor Luo to acupuncture Si Bao, and then went out to give Si Bao decoction.

Fortunately, Shen Chen heard the noise and came out. Lin Xi was very sleepy, so she told him how to boil the medicine and went back to sleep.

After this sleep, Lin Xi fell asleep directly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, and Si Bao was quietly huddled in her arms, holding her clothes tightly with his two small hands.

Lin Xi reached out and touched Si Bao's forehead. The fever had subsided, which made her sigh in relief.

She put on her clothes lightly and got out of bed, then took the medicine next to her and changed it for Si Bao's wound medicine before going out.

As soon as the door was opened, the three Dabaos waiting outside looked over eagerly.

Lin Xi was surprised and whispered: "Why did you get up so early?"

Erbao whispered back: "We are worried about Sibao and can't sleep. Is Sibao awake?"

"I'm not awake yet. If you want to go in, be careful not to wake up the four treasures." Lin Xi warned, and then asked: "Where is Shen Chen?"

Dabao said: "Daddy is in the kitchen."

Lin Xi made way for Dabao and the other three to go in, and walked to the kitchen. As expected, he saw Shen Chen making breakfast and the porridge was about to be cooked.

Hearing the sound, he said: "You can eat it later."

Lin Xi went in, replaced Shen Chen with the side dishes to go with the porridge, and said, "Have you given medicine to Si Bao last night?"

"Um."

"Why don't you wake me up? Si Bao is a little afraid of pain and is reluctant to take medicine. I can help coax her."

"It doesn't matter."

"All right."

Lin Xi went to wash some bamboo shoots, and when she came back and saw Shen Chen still there, she was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to do other things?"

Shen Chen looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and after a moment he said, "I have something to tell you. When I went to the county last night, I went to the porters and explained that I would call them back in two days. As for the workers, I also I said hello."

Lin Xi nodded, "When something happens to the Four Treasures, do we have to postpone it later, or do you think carefully?"

Shen Chen said: "I will go to the county government office with the village chief soon, and I should be back at noon."

Lin Xi said, "Then take the bloody stone with you. It's physical evidence."

For Lin Xi, the murder of Si Bao was a bit difficult to investigate.

These days, there are no later generations of surveillance, fingerprints and other methods. We basically rely on pure human power. There are several roads in Chenyang Village that are accessible. There are countless travelers passing by, and the thieves have no idea where they went.

Lin Xi sighed and said: "Just try your best. The most important thing is that the four treasures are fine. This is the greatest luck."

Shen Chen said, "I will find out."

Lin Xi didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he patted his shoulder encouragingly.

After breakfast, the village chief arrived just in time to go to the county with Shen Chen.

Lin Xi couldn't stay at home very well. After thinking about it, he said to Dabao and the others: "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon. If you encounter danger, just shout loudly, I can hear you nearby."

The three Dabaos nodded obediently.

Lin Xi went out and found the place where Si Bao was killed yesterday.

There were still blood stains on the ground there, which was shocking.

Lin Xi leaned over and carefully searched for any clues on the ground. After searching for a long time, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Madam of the Shen family!"

When Lin Xi looked up, it was Matchmaker Chen whom she saw last time.

Matchmaker Chen came over twisting her waist and waving her handkerchief, with a look of curiosity and fear on her face: "I heard that your family's four treasures were robbed by a thief yesterday, and their heads were smashed with a big hole. I was scared to death!"

Lin Xi didn't want to talk about this kind of thing to outsiders, so he responded perfunctorily, then lowered his head and continued searching.

Seeing this, Matchmaker Chen felt a little unhappy and said deliberately: "I'm not telling you, Madam Shen, is it useful for you to find someone like this? It's better to find some reliable people, who might be able to protect you."

"Thank you, matchmaker Chen, for your kindness. My husband has already informed the government. I believe the officials will give an explanation."

Matchmaker Chen laughed out loud: "To put it bluntly, a girl was accidentally killed, and she is fine. The yamen has a mountain of official duties every day. Can you still find time to check that?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but frown and looked at Matchmaker Chen: "What do you mean, Matchmaker?"

Matchmaker Chen was a little unhappy when she saw Lin Xi.

She originally accepted the matchmaking money from the Fang family, and she should have no worries about life by the end of the year. Who knew that fetching water from a bamboo basket would be in vain. Even if she looked at the loophole and Lin Xi was still there, what could she do? In desperation,

She had to return the matchmaker's money to the Fang family, which was a big loss!

Matchmaker Chen deliberately showed off: "Of course I want to find someone who has a close relationship with the yamen! For example, who in the village doesn't know that Fang Sheng, the son of the Fang family, has some relationship with the yamen. If he were there, the people in the yamen would be assigned to be in charge of the front and the back! I had to pass it a few days ago.

.But based on the relationship between your family and the Fang family, it’s not like I can get something!”

Lin Xi: "..."

At this time, matchmaker Chen said again: "But even if I want to, I can't help it. The Fang family's son is so busy. He doesn't go back to the village on weekdays. How can you see him? The day before yesterday, I heard that the Fang family's son was back. I just heard that the Fang family's son was back.

It's a pity that I left in a hurry yesterday for unknown reasons, so you are not so lucky!"

Lin Xi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "My husband is here at home, so there is no need for the Fang family."

She hasn't settled the score with Fang Xinger yet about the wild vegetables!

Matchmaker Chen's face immediately dropped, she turned around and left.

Lin Xi shook his head speechlessly and continued to search. Finally, he found the grass and found nothing. However, he found that the grass looked messy because someone had been there.

"This piece is upside down, but there aren't many. It doesn't look like an adult hiding. Could it be... that it's the Four Treasures?"

Lin Xi saw some traces on the ground and looked for them. Suddenly, he found Si Bao's head flower in the rubble with blood stains.

This was selected by Lin Xi himself with the Four Treasures. It was woven from two short thin ribbons, but one was missing at the moment.

Lin Xi picked it up and looked at it, murmuring: "The four treasures should have fallen off during the struggle. The other missing one couldn't be on the thief, right?"

Lin Xi put her hair away suspiciously and took it back.

It was almost noon, but Shen Chen didn't come back.

Lin Xi waited at home until the afternoon before Shen Chen came back. With him were two saber officers.

It was the first time that Dabao and the three met, and they were a little scared. Lin Xi asked them to go into the house first, and went to the door to find Shen Chen.

Shen Chen signaled her to stop talking, and sent fellow officials to search the place where Si Bao's accident occurred. The movement attracted many villagers.

When Lin Xi saw this, he immediately took out the hair tie he found and explained his theory.
