When Chen Ping saw Chen Xiaobei, it was like seeing a relative, and he burst into tears.

"Brother Xiaobei, you are here. My grandfather died miserably."

Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and saw that Chen Anbang and Yang had dark faces, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't quite know what was going on, his experience told him that he was probably poisoned.

In his previous life, he had watched a lot of TV dramas. Only people who were poisoned would have dark faces. What's more, all the exposed skin would be black, swollen and swollen.

Not far away, Liu Ce saw this scene and whispered into Liu Rumei's ear, "Miss, this is poisoning."

Chen Xiaobei took a step forward and was about to reach out to touch Chen Anbang when Liu Ce hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Chen, please wait."

Chen Xiaobei turned his head and looked at Liu Ce with a surprised look on his face.

Does that mean you haven't left yet?

Liu Ce stepped forward and said loudly, "Mr. Chen, these two people died of poisoning. Try not to touch their bodies first."

Chen Xiaobei certainly understood what Liu Ce said, which was that if he touched it and got poisoned, he would be in trouble.

He looked at Liu Rumei with gratitude, turned to Liu Ce and said, "Then what should we do?"

Liu Ce stepped forward, squatted down and searched the two people's bodies carefully. Soon he pointed at the back of Yang's hand and said, "Brother Xiaobei, look, there are two very fine holes here. There was black blood seeping out, it should be a wound, and it looked like it was injured by a venomous snake."

Upon hearing about the poisonous snake, the villagers looked at each other and even took a few steps back unconsciously.

Chen Xiaobei was also filled with emotion after hearing this.

In this era, there is almost no solution for being bitten by a poisonous snake.

But at this moment, an old man with white hair and beard next to him spoke.

"That's not right. Over the years, no one has ever been poisoned by a venomous snake in our village."

"And I heard from my ancestors that Qingniu Mountain is a gift from God. There are no poisonous snakes on this huge mountain."

Chen Xiaobei recognized the speaker.

This man is the senior one in their village. Speaking of which, Chen Anbang is his grandson. In Chen Xiaobei's memory, everyone has called this ancestor since he can remember.

What he said when he stood up was undoubtedly convincing.

However, Liu Ce was dumbfounded by these remarks.

These two small holes really looked like bite marks from the fangs of venomous snakes, but this man said categorically that there were no venomous snakes in the village.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed not far away and shouted.

"Snakes, there are snakes."

Looking in the direction of everyone's fingers, I saw a few small emerald green snakes in the corner of the yard, crawling up the wall. It seemed that the crowd of people watching made them feel the danger and wanted to escape.

When he saw the color, Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat. When he was in school, his teacher told him that brightly colored snakes were probably poisonous.

When Liu Ce saw it, he couldn't help blurting out, "Bamboo leaves are green, this is extremely poisonous."

Bamboo leaves are green.

Chen Xiaobei was also frightened.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Liu Ce rushed over in a flash. A few cold lights flashed through. Looking at the small green snakes, they had been cut into several pieces. They struggled on the ground for a while and then stopped moving.

Liu Ce checked in the yard again and made sure there were no other venomous snakes before he walked out.

Chen Xiaobei became much more respectful this time, and gave Liu Ce a fist, "Thank you, Butler Liu."

"It's easy, no need to be polite." Liu Ce patted Chen Xiaobei's shoulder, winked and turned away.

Chen Xiaobei understood that Liu Ce had something to say to him. He immediately turned to the villagers and said, "Everyone, please help me. I will see off the guests."

Chen Xiaobei followed Liu Rumei and Liu Ce until they reached the big locust tree in the middle of the village, and Liu Ce stopped.

"Brother Xiaobei, I have to explain something to you."

"The old man just said it was right, the bamboo-leaf green is not a species of snake from our Dacang country."

After speaking, he and Liu Rumei looked at each other, and the two got on their horses and left.

Chen Xiaobei was a little confused.

Liu Ce's words have been very obvious.

Under normal circumstances, Zhuyeqing should not appear in Chen Anbang's home.

Then there is a problem. Someone must have caused the poisonous snake to appear, so who did Chen Anbang offend? Do you want the other party to kill him?

And why did the other party use such despicable means?

When he returned, everyone had already helped carry Chen Anbang and Yang into the house.

When the ancestor saw Chen Xiaobei, he also grabbed him.

"Xiaobei, this is strange. We don't have these snakes here at all."

Chen Xiaobei looked at Chen Ping, who was crying and heartbroken, and sighed slightly, "Old Ancestor, I think he must have offended someone. But, look at Chen Ping, why don't you wait and wait?" Just ask."

The ancestor shook his head, "This child was raised in Anbang from a young age and has deep feelings. If you, the captain, don't find out the murderer, he will probably not let you go."

Chen Xiaobei said in his heart, if you don’t give up with me, I will...

At this moment, Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized the meaning of the word "captain" mentioned by his ancestors. In Hetou Village, the people who registered with the county to receive salary were the village chief Chen Anbang and himself, the village guard captain?

Now something happened to Chen Anbang, and he, the captain of the village protection team, actually became the top leader of Hetou Village.

Come to think of it, fate is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people.

At the beginning, I was disheartened about this trip, but now I see that although the conditions are a bit more difficult, it is not without gains.

Within a little more than a month, I got married and became the top leader of the village.

This was in my previous life, when I was directly at the pinnacle of my life.

Thinking of this, he spread his hands helplessly, "Oh, if you don't let me give up, I won't do anything."

The ancestor coughed twice and said to the people around him, "Go and call Chen Ping over. Xiaobei has something to ask him."

Sure enough, as he said, Chen Ping wiped his tears and came to Chen Xiaobei, knelt down with a bang, hugged Chen Xiaobei's legs and cried bitterly.

"Xiaobei, you have to make the decision for me. My grandparents died miserably!"

Chen Xiaobei patted his shoulder, comforted him and said softly, "Okay, don't cry now. Let me ask you, has your grandpa ever offended anyone?"

Chen Ping wiped away his tears, stood up and thought for a long time, then shook his head slightly.

"My grandpa is usually kind to others and rarely quarrels with others. I have never heard of him ever getting angry with anyone."

"Then has your grandpa done anything unusual recently?"

Chen Ping tilted his head and thought for a while, "Yesterday, he was in a daze at home all afternoon. He didn't know what he was thinking and didn't ask him anything. He went out during dinner in the evening and didn't say anything after he came back. I fell asleep and this happened today.”

Well, Chen Ping couldn't ask anything here, so Chen Xiaobei could only give up.

Then change your thinking.

He called over the several village protection team members who were on duty at the entrance of the village today and asked them to go separately to find the villagers and ask if they had ever seen anyone coming to Chen Anbang's house.
