After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 361: Jumping to a high place to look for abnormalities, but finding nothing and changing dir

After they finished packing the herbs, Lin Mingxuan didn't come back. Ding Xirui couldn't sit still, so he took An Yumo and the others out, leaving Ah Qing and Xiaoqiang to prepare the evening medicine. Lin Mingxuan had already taken the silver needle away, and just in case, she prepared a pack of first aid medicine for epilepsy and gave it to Ah Qing.

"Young Madam, where are we going? Are we going to find the Young Master and the others?" Banxia asked.

"No, let's go directly to Ma Yang."

"Where to?"

"Go to a higher place!"

"What?" An Yumo, Xiaoqin and Banxia who were walking stopped.

"You mean, we should jump onto the roof and take a look." An Yumo looked incredulous.

"Correct."

"Aren't the villagers searching door to door? What's the point of us jumping up and taking a look?" Xiaoqin asked.

"Besides, Madam, the village is so big, we can't all jump on it..." Banxia scratched her hair, also expressing confusion.

"It's one thing in front of people and another thing behind their backs. If he's hiding a serious criminal, his behavior will definitely change. We'll jump onto the roof and observe from a high place so they don't find out." Ding Xirui explained, "Of course, we won't check every household. We'll focus on catching fish. Let's first find out where Ma Yang's brothers live, and then..."

"Where to go next?" An Yumo asked.

"I suspect someone. It won't take much to go and check. Let's go." Ding Xirui didn't continue talking. He pulled the three of them to the street and found an older sister-in-law to ask about the residences of several people who had a good relationship with Ma Yang. He prepared to check quietly from near to far.

"Xi Rui, have you ever climbed a wall?" An Yumo was a little excited.

"I don't have one, but didn't we practice in the martial arts gym? The houses in the village are all made of mud walls, and they're very low. As long as we use our strength, it should be no problem."

"Yeah, I think so too."

The group first came to the vicinity of Dashi's house. Ding Xirui had been here before when she bought eggs and was familiar with the terrain. She motioned for them to be quiet, listened to the noise in the yard, and then used the tree stump in the alley to jump up, onto the wall, and then quickly climbed onto the roof.

"Xirui, be careful." An Yumo was very nervous and whispered in a low voice while pinching her throat.

"Hush..." Ding Xirui waved at them, then slowly raised her head and looked towards the yard of Dashi's house. There was only one child in the yard playing with mud, scooping water and mixing mud, playing with great interest. Seeing him, Ding Xirui suddenly remembered that she had not found the chicken gizzard that she had been looking for. Alas, things happened one after another, and she had no time to do the things she had planned.

"Xiao Pi, are you thirsty?" Dashi's wife came out with flour on her hands and a calm expression.

"Mom, I don't want to drink water." The child didn't even raise his head and continued to play.

"Well, if you're thirsty, go inside and get yourself some water. We can eat when your father comes back."

"Um--"

Dashi's wife clapped her hands, looked at the gate, and complained, "The 'skinny monkey' I asked for is really a worry." Then she turned and went into the kitchen.

Ding Xirui turned his head to look at the alley, slid from the roof to the wall, and jumped to the ground.

"How is it?" An Yumo and the other two asked anxiously.

"Not here." Ding Xirui shook his head, "Let's go to the next one."

"it is good."

They went to the next house and found an empty corner. An Yumo was eager to try and seized the opportunity to climb the wall.

"Be careful, don't step too hard, the mud wall is not solid." Ding Xirui warned.

"I know." An Yumo felt her heart pounding. Ever since she learned Kung Fu, she had only caught a thief in the mountains last time and had no other place to use it. Today she could finally use it. She was extremely excited and her hands were shaking slightly.

"Miss, be careful." Xiaoqin looked around, her heart in her throat. If the master and the mistress knew about this, she would be scolded a lot.

"Yeah." An Yumo was lying on the thatched roof, looking at the house in front of her. Three women were chatting in the yard, and they didn't notice what was happening in the house in front of them.

"Your husband has a good relationship with 'Skinny Monkey'. Do you know where he is hiding?" A woman wearing a flowery headscarf asked the woman in the middle.

"How would he know? He was startled when the headman came to ask just now." The woman in the middle answered the question while peeling onions with one hand.

"Tell me, where can the 'skinny monkey' hide?" said another sister-in-law. Her face was thin and long, and her chin was so pointed that it seemed like it could be made into a knife.

"Who knows? We searched the whole village and found that they were all outside the village." The woman in the middle finished peeling the onions and glanced at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, I have to go home and cook. I just ran around and I'm hungry." The woman with the flowery headscarf said as she walked out the door.

"I'm leaving too." The thin-faced woman followed.

Ding Xirui and others heard some noise and suddenly felt uneasy, with their palms starting to sweat.

"Yumo, lie still, let's leave for a while."

Ding Xirui said something and walked forward with Xiaotao and Xiaoqin, where they happened to meet the two women.

"Hey, isn't this Doctor Ding? What can I do for you?" The woman in the headscarf looked surprised.

"Hello, sisters-in-law," Ding Xirui laughed, "Ma Yang is missing, let's walk around and see if we can find anything."

"We've searched everywhere around here, even turned over the firewood pile over there," the thin-faced woman said, pointing to a pile of straw at the entrance of the alley, "but we still can't find it."

Ding Xirui followed her gesture and said, "Really? Ma Yang is really good at hiding."

"Doctor Ding, it's getting dark. Let the men in the village find the person. You should go back."

"Okay, let's leave now."

Ding Xirui and the other two nodded goodbye, slowed down their pace and walked forward slowly. Seeing that the two women had left the alley, Ding Xirui turned back. Xiaoqin and Banxia ran to the entrances of the two alleys respectively, and seeing that no one was coming, they nodded at Ding Xirui.

"Yumo, you can come down now." Ding Xirui looked up and said.

"it is good."

An Yumo slipped down the house and jumped onto the ground.

"That was a close call." She patted her chest.

"It's okay. The weather is bad and they can't see it." Ding Xirui said as he picked off the straw stuck to An Yumo's skirt.

They went to three other houses one after another, but nothing came of it. Ding Xirui stopped and said slowly, "Let's go see Zhang Cong's house."

"Why go to his house..." An Yumo and the other two were a little puzzled. The next moment, they seemed to understand, "Xi Rui, you are not doubting that old stubborn man, are you?"

"It's getting dark, let's go take a look first."
