Chapter 220 A suspicious figure at the foot of the mountain
Then, Su Niannian and Gu Nan also entered the space.
Now I want to raise some rabbits in the space, so I need to set aside an area. Raising rabbits is not as simple as raising chicks.
Rabbits can dig holes, so if the surroundings are not solid, the little rabbits will run out by themselves.
If the crops and agricultural products are destroyed by then, the loss will outweigh the gain.
If the little rabbit slips over to the little ginseng, the loss will be even greater.
After Su Niannian told Gu Nan about her worries, Gu Nan told her not to worry.
I will make a relatively sturdy place and fence it off to raise rabbits.
When Su Niannian heard Gu Nan say this, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Sure enough, such things still require the help of men."
"My rough guy is the best!" Su Niannian said with a smile, and Gu Nan also liked Su Niannian's words.
While working, he couldn't stop smiling.
It took Gu Nan a long time to find a separate place to raise rabbits.
The little guy, on the other hand, lay down nearby after eating and watched Gu Nan build a fence for the rabbits.
The little guy thought to himself…you really don’t need to think so much. I’m here, can’t I take care of a few rabbits?
Thinking of this, the little guy turned his head and looked at the rabbit that was upside down in a bamboo basket.
The little rabbit was happily eating cabbage leaves in a bamboo basket, but then he felt a gaze directed at him.
He turned his head tremblingly and saw the little guy looking at him hungrily through the gap in the bamboo basket.
The little rabbit felt cold all over, and the cabbage leaf in his hand fell to the ground with a plop.
Then he curled up into a small ball, not daring to move in the bamboo basket.
However, Su Niannian’s full attention was on her man now, and she didn’t notice this side.
If it weren't for the little guy, her haphazardly built chicken fence would have been breached long ago.
It's all because of the little guy watching over them that the chicks are so well behaved.
After Gu Nan finished making the rabbit nest, he put some water and some vegetable leaves in it.
Then he opened the upside-down bamboo basket and put the rabbit inside.
I don’t know why, but after the rabbit was put in, it actually felt a lot safer.
After looking around, he started eating the leaves again.
Rabbits are like this. As long as they are not sleeping, they will keep eating.
Gu Nan and Su Niannian sorted out the things in the space and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Su Niannian touched the little guy and asked him to take good care of the ginseng seedlings and not let the chicks or rabbits destroy them.
The little guy looked reassured and patted his chest with his front paws.
Su Niannian smiled, then left the space with Gu Nan.
Outside, it was still the same place as before entering the space, and also the same time as before entering the space.
Su Niannian took Gu Nan's arm and walked down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Gu Nan stretched out his arm and stopped Su Niannian.
When Su Niannian saw Gu Nan's actions, she quickly stopped without making a sound.
She knew Gu Nan, and he must have discovered something when he did this.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Nan took Su Niannian's hand and moved towards a big tree nearby.
And made a shushing gesture.
Su Niannian followed Gu Nan obediently without making any sound.
At this moment, a very dim flashlight light shone towards the big tree where the two were hiding.
It was just a very weak and dim light, which showed that the person holding the flashlight was very far away from here.
That's why the light is so dim.
After the light moved away, Gu Nan tilted his head and peeked out a little bit.
Look at the situation outside.
In front of us is the foot of the mountain. Normally, no one would appear here so late.
So, who is it?
Gu Nan has very good eyesight and hearing.
Although the distance was far and Gu Nan did not hear what was said specifically, his sharp eyesight still allowed him to see the people at the foot of the mountain.
After a while, someone came over pushing two wheelbarrows and moved something from the ground onto the wheelbarrows.
Then left.
The remaining person looked around, shone the flashlight everywhere, and then left.
After everyone left, Gu Nan signaled to Su Niannian that she could move and speak.
"Who is it? Did you see clearly?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan.
"It seems to be the village chief." Gu Nan said after thinking for a while.
Although the distance was quite far and he couldn't see clearly, his figure looked very much like Li Guofu.
"Li Guofu? I heard from Secretary Jiang this morning that Li Guofu was sick and couldn't get out of bed. Why is he here so late at night?"
Su Niannian murmured.
Gu Nan didn't say anything, because Gu Nan also noticed that Li Guofu had been a little abnormal recently.
"By the way, do you feel that Li Guofu seems to be afraid of meeting the police?"
"From several previous incidents, it can be felt that he seems to be very afraid of encountering the police."
Su Niannian continued.
Gu Nan also nodded, "I've noticed that recently whenever someone suggested reporting to the police, Li Guofu wanted to hide."
"This morning, Secretary Jiang was not in the village, so after the body was found, the villagers first thought of the village chief. They went to look for him, but he simply claimed to be sick and couldn't come out."
"Then...what is the reason that makes Li Guofu so afraid of seeing the police?" Su Niannian began to guess the possibilities in her heart.
Gu Nan thought about it and decided to go over and take a look at the place where those people were standing just now to see if there were any clues.
After making sure that the place was completely safe, Gu Nan took Su Niannian there.
There were wheel marks from a wheelbarrow pushing things, and some relatively recent footprints.
Gu Nan shone the flashlight and followed the newer footprints, looking to see if he could find anything.
Then, the two followed the footprints to the foot of the mountain where there were more big trees.
There are not only big trees over there, but also some messy rocks.
Moreover, there are very few plants here, which is different from other places at the foot of the mountain.
"Are there any signs that the stones here have been turned over?" Su Niannian took the kerosene lamp and shone it around casually. She saw that some stones that should have been sticking to the ground were turned over.
The stones that are in contact with the ground and the stones that are on the ground are actually different.
Gu Nan heard the sound and came over to see, and it was true. It was obvious that the stone had been turned over.
But why would such rubble be turned over?
Gu Nan handed the flashlight in his hand to Su Niannian, and reached into the pile of rocks to search.
Under the stone, there was obviously a hole about 60 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide and half a meter deep.
