Chapter 161 Suspicion
Chapter 161 Suspicion
The next day, Xuhe went to the stable to check carefully. He had a hunch that those people would not come here for no reason.
"My dear, why are you here? It stinks here."
The soldier in charge of managing the stable was punished yesterday. Now everyone is trembling with fear, fearing that problems will arise due to poor management.
"Nothing, I'll take a look."
Xuhe checked the horse feed and found nothing wrong with it, except that it did smell bad. He took out a handkerchief he carried with him to cover his mouth and nose, and searched back and forth in the stable. He saw a piece of pottery, and a clever soldier brought him a pair of tongs.
"My dear, there are still a lot of pottery fragments when we cleaned up today. Several horses' feet were scratched. I am preparing to report it."
Xuhe looked at him and thought he was quite smart.
“Have you picked them all out?”
"They are all collected. Today's horse manure is placed in a separate pile. These pottery fragments have all been taken out. Just now, a soldier accidentally cut his hand. He has been sent down to disinfect and bandage it."
"Pay attention to his changes at all times, and don't be careless!"
"Here!"
The soldier took Xuhe to the place where broken pottery pieces were piled. Xuhe felt a little panicked. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Pack these up."
Soldier Ma Li put the broken pottery pieces in a bucket, and Xuhe took them to find Chang Yue.
Chang Yue was bandaging the wound of a soldier who had just been injured and prescribing medicine for him.
"You have caught a cold. Take this with boiled water three times a day. Rest and come back anytime if you feel unwell."
The soldier's face turned red and his neck became thick. He said thank you weakly. Just as he reached the door, he saw Xuhe coming over with a wooden barrel and smelly pottery pieces.
"Hello, my dear!"
Xuhe nodded and went in. Chang Yue smelled a foul odor. When she looked up and saw him coming, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
"My dear, you..."
Xuhe put the barrel aside and said.
"This was found in the stable. Logically, it shouldn't exist. Do you think it's poisonous?"
Chang Yue was a little reluctant. It was too smelly! Then she thought that maybe what he was worried about was not wrong. It was just that the smell was really pungent. She put on the mask and gloves. She resisted the nausea and began to pick up the pottery shards. Then she began to take samples and even fanned the air with her hands to smell the smell herself.
Seeing that such a little girl was so serious, Xuhe felt that he had gone too far.
"That... doesn't have to be so detailed."
Chang Yue smiled and shook her head.
"This is a routine checkup. So far, no poison has been found. As for whether it is some kind of bacteria, I still have to refer to the method given by the adults. It may take a few days."
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work. Keep me informed if you have any news."
It's not toxic, so it could be some kind of bacteria. There should be some results.
After finishing one thing, Xuhe hurried to train the soldiers.
"My dear, today is the winter solstice. Maybe you can't train less?"
After spending some time with him, the soldiers discovered that he was actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, and would agree to some of their occasional requests.
Xu He was stunned for a few seconds. It was the winter solstice! Today was the children's birthday. I wonder if the adults remembered it? She always remembered it every year, but she was not here this year. I wonder if the children would miss her?
The soldier who spoke saw that he looked unhappy and thought that he disagreed.
"actually……"
"Okay, today's training will be one third less than yesterday's, but if I'm not satisfied, then double it!"
Suddenly, everyone else looked at the soldier who stepped forward.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Hurry up, move!"
"One two one!"
On the winter solstice one year, the brothers Qin Shan and Qin Chuan were already eight years old. Xuhe was not at home this year, so Qin Xingfu planned the day's itinerary early in the morning. He would first take them out for a walk, and then come back to make them cakes and their favorite egg tarts.
The two brothers slept in the same room. They would practice martial arts as soon as they woke up every day, and read books obediently after breakfast. Fu Yuan looked at their well-behaved appearance and thought they were so well-behaved.
"My dears! Mommy is a little bored at home, can you guys go out for a walk with me? Uncle Gaode is not free today, can you take me out for a walk?"
Qin Xingfu got dressed and finally wanted to go out. Qin Shan and Qin Chuan had heard their father remind them that their mother couldn't remember the way, so someone had to accompany her when she went out. Now that their father was not around, they had to accompany their mother.
The two little ones nodded obediently.
"Mom, wait for us, let's change our clothes."
Qin Xingfu felt soft-hearted when she saw how well-behaved they were. Soon, both of them were dressed in the same white fox fur cloaks, which made them look like white glutinous rice dumplings.
Qin Xingfu's maternal love overflowed and she kissed each of them.
"My dears, you are so nice! Do you know where there is some fun place? Mommy hasn't even left the house yet, so she can't even remember it."
"Mom, I know there's a restaurant nearby that's said to be pretty good, it's called Juxianlou!"
Qin Chuan told what he knew first, and Qin Shan was not willing to be left behind.
"There's another one. I heard the roast duck is really good. It's called Quanfulou."
"Wow! You guys are awesome, let's go together!"
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan looked around, but didn't see their brothers, sisters or younger sisters.
"Mom, aren't my brothers and sisters going?"
Wouldn't it be too selfish for them to eat together?
"If they don't go, how about we bring them back?"
Their eyes sparkled, which meant that they could go shopping with their mother alone today, so they took her out, one on each side.
"Mom, let's go!"
The two little ones are very happy today as they can go shopping with their mother, chattering away.
"Mom, this is sugar painting, it's painting with sugar, it's so beautiful."
When they arrived at a sugar painting stall, they couldn't walk anymore, so Qin Xingfu said to the stall owner.
"Uncle, here are three sugar paintings. Which one do you like?"
When asking the children what they needed, the two little ones were no longer so aloof today and pointed at the sugar paintings and spoke.
"I want this horse."
"I want this dragon!"
Qin Xingfu chose a rabbit for himself and paid for it happily. The stall owner accepted the money as he knew Qin Xiang's character.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Mom, can you let Grandpa deliver it to my brothers and sisters?"
Qin Shan suggested, and Qin Xingfu had no choice but to ask the old man to make more and then send them to his house.
No matter what they buy, the mother and her two children will bring a portion back to their family. In this way, the two children become as lively as children, and they will take the initiative to ask for what they like without Qin Xingfu asking them.
"Mom, I want this!"
Qin Chuan pointed to a nine-ring chain and said that Qin Shan also chose a Lu Ban lock.
Qin Xingfu felt that the thing in his hand was a little heavy. He had made a mistake by not letting the guards follow him today.
"My dears, Mommy is a little hungry! Let's go eat, okay? This seems to be Juxianlou."
"it is good!"
They were also a little hungry. When the mother and her two children entered the restaurant, the waiter hurried forward to greet them. After seeing their faces clearly, he was so excited that he was almost speechless.
"Let's have some food. Is there a private room?"
The waiter quickly came back to his senses.
"Yes, yes, sir, please go upstairs! This is very heavy, sir, please teach me how to lift it!"
