Tong Yan deliberately paid attention to the rhizome of this pepper, which is still very green, and there is still juice flowing out of the fracture that was originally connected to the pepper seedling, which means that this pepper has not been picked for a long time. If it wasn't picked up by the pharmacy doctor himself, it was probably accidentally dropped here.

Of course, maybe a chili pepper doesn't mean anything, so if this chili pepper can be used as a clue, it will be of great use. Thinking of this, Tong Yan directly put the chili pepper into his pocket and continued to search around the pharmacy to see what else he could find.

After about ten minutes like this, the Great Elder hurried back. And he came back with an anxious face of the pharmacy doctor.

As soon as he saw them returning, Tong Yan hurriedly greeted them.

"Great Elder, have you found anything? That Yitian has already left the Wu family's old mansion? ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "The people in the patrol team said that they didn't see Yi Tian leave, and the people guarding the entrance and exit didn't see it either. So Yi Tian should still be in the Wu family's old mansion, but I don't know where he went. Doctor Wu, tell the patriarch in detail, how did the little brother Yitian walk out of the pharmacy by himself? ”

Hearing this, the doctor of the pharmacy said with a worried face: "I don't know what's going on, Great Elder, just when you went to invite the patriarch to come here, I went to the house to decoct the medicine." But when I came out with the medicine, the little brother Yitian was gone. I thought he was out to get some air, so I hurried outside to look for it. But I searched the village and still couldn't find him. Patriarch, I really don't know what's going on, and I don't know where that little brother has gone. ”

Tong Yan stared at the eyes of the doctor in the pharmacy, and saw that his eyes did not dodge, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I know." It doesn't matter, he might just be out and about. As long as he didn't leave the Wu family's old mansion, he would always be able to find him. ”

At this point, he suddenly thought of something, and then reached into his bag and took out the pepper he had found on the ground earlier.

"Doctor Wu, have you eaten chili peppers today? How did you throw this good chili pepper on the ground? ”

Doctor Wu was stunned when he heard this, and said with puzzlement: "Chili? I've never eaten spicy food, so how do I pick chili peppers? Did someone else come and accidentally fall to the ground? ”

As soon as Tong Yan heard this, he immediately asked the Great Elder, "Great Elder, is this chili pepper yours?" ”

The Great Elder said innocently, "Even if I eat chili peppers, I won't bring them with me." Patriarch, this should have been someone else's drop here. What's wrong? Does it matter? ”

Tong Yan didn't break it, and asked the doctor again, "Doctor Wu, how many people have come to your pharmacy today?" Do you remember? ”

Doctor Wu thought for a while and said, "Except for you, there is only Ah Fu, but Ah Fu just came to get the medicine and left." Could this pepper have been dropped by him? ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately said to the Great Elder: "Great Elder, you can go and find Ah Fu and ask him if he picked the chili peppers today and if he dropped the chili peppers in the medicine shop." ”

Although the Great Elder didn't understand Tong Yan's intentions, he nodded and turned around to verify.

Tong Yan saw the Great Elder leaving, and asked the doctor at the pharmacy, "Where do we have this kind of chili pepper in our Wu family?" This pepper is thick on the top and thin on the bottom, which is quite rare. ”

Doctor Wu stared at the chili pepper in Tong Yan's hand and looked at it carefully, and then said, "This chili pepper is indeed quite rare, it seems to be called something...... That's right, this pepper is called Big Head. Our Wu family's daughter-in-law Wu Gang grows this kind of chili, and she also told us that this chili pepper is much spicier than ordinary chili peppers, and those who can eat ten are pure masters. Those who like spicy food have tasted it, but few can eat five. Because this big-headed chili pepper is too spicy, not many people go to Wu Gang's daughter-in-law to pick it at all. Patriarch, do you think it was Wu Gang's daughter-in-law who came to me? And then accidentally dropped the pepper here? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan thought about it for a while, and then said to the doctor in the pharmacy: "You go to Wu Gang's daughter-in-law and ask if she has come to you." Ask her again who went to her this morning to pick this pepper. ”

Dr. Wu nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll go!" With that, he walked out of the pharmacy quickly.

Now there was only Tong Yan left in the pharmacy, he pulled the chair next to him and sat down directly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Why is this happening? Yi Tian was really taken away by her? ”

The Great Elder's movements were fast, and he ran back after three or two minutes. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Tong Yan, "Patriarch, I asked Ah Fu. He said he hadn't eaten chili peppers in the morning, and it was unlikely that he had chili peppers on him. I don't think he lied to me, after all, his cough is very serious these days, and if he eats chili peppers again, isn't he looking for guilt? ”

Tong Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I know." You've been busy all morning, so sit down and rest for a while! ”

Hearing this, the Great Elder said with some concern, "What are you resting for?" Otherwise, I'd better go and find Little Brother Yitian, his injuries haven't healed, so it's better to find him as soon as possible. ”

Tong Yan shook his head and smiled: "No need, I almost already know who took him." Now wait for Dr. Wu to come back, and after he comes back, the truth will be revealed. ”

When the Great Elder heard Tong Yan say this, he sighed softly, and then sat down on the chair next to Tong Yan.

After a while, the doctor of the pharmacy not only came back by himself, but also brought Wu Gang's daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

For this Wu Gang's daughter-in-law, Tong Yan still knows him. In the month after he woke up, Wu Gang's daughter-in-law brought him meals several times, and Gao Qian's cooking skills were all learned from Wu Gang's daughter-in-law.

Seeing Wu Gang's daughter-in-law coming, Tong Yan immediately got up and said, "Aunt Wu, I'm really sorry, please come here." ”

When Wu Gang's daughter-in-law heard this, she smiled and said, "Patriarch, what are you talking about?" You are our patriarch, and we should listen to you. Say, what the hell are you asking? ”

Hearing Wu Gang's daughter-in-law say this, it seems that the doctor at the pharmacy did not ask her about chili peppers.

Anyway, the person has already brought it, Tong Yan might as well ask for clarification himself. I saw that he directly handed the chili pepper in his hand to Wu Gang's daughter-in-law, and then asked with a smile: "Aunt Wu, this is the chili pepper you planted, right?" I picked it up on the ground. Did you come to the pharmacy this morning? ”

Wu Gang's daughter-in-law stared at the chili pepper in Tong Yan's hand and looked at it carefully, and then replied: "This is indeed the chili pepper I planted, but I didn't come to the pharmacy this morning." By the way, Miss Qian'er picked a handful of chili peppers from me in the morning, could it be that she dropped them here? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan's suspicions were finally confirmed.

If he didn't guess wrong, the person who took Yitian away from the pharmacy should be Gao Qian. But the question is, why did Gao Qian do this? Could it be that Gao Qian is hiding something?
