Chapter 226 Secret Observation, Deepening Suspicion
Actually, Li Ergou wasn't that thin; he was about 1.8 meters tall.
However... well, she is indeed a bit thin.
However, in Su Niannian's memory, he was still quite strong.
After all, he was a rough man who was used to doing farm work.
If Li Ergou and Song Zhaodi really do end up together, Su Niannian would be very happy to see it.
After all, Li Ergou and Gu Nan had such a good relationship, so she still trusted Gu Nan's judgment in people.
On the other side, Gu Nan arrived at his usual work area and immediately saw Li Ergou working in the field.
Call Li Ergou over and ask him if he saw the village chief Li Guofu when he was assigning work points at the threshing ground this morning.
“No, isn’t he sick? I haven’t seen him for two days,” Li Ergou told Gu Nan truthfully.
The two chatted for a while, then Gu Nan waved and left, wanting to go to Li Guofu's house to check on the situation.
When they arrived at Li Guofu's house, there was no one outside and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Gu Nanping had an ordinary relationship with Li Guofu and had no reason to go to Li Guofu's house.
Therefore, Gu Nan could not enter Li Guofu's house.
Walking to the outside of Li Guofu's backyard wall, Gu Nan looked at the fairly sturdy tree in front of him and climbed up it in a few quick movements.
After confirming that he wouldn't be seen, Gu Nan entered the space directly.
Then I pressed the button on the clock, which activated the time flow in the outside world.
Looking at the scene on the old table in front of me.
It offers a perfect view of Li Guofu's courtyard.
By activating the external time flow, Gu Nan could observe the situation in Li Guofu's courtyard from here without being discovered by outsiders.
After Gu Nan entered the space, the little guy noticed him and came to Gu Nan's side as well.
After the little guy came over, he turned his head to look around, and seemed a little disappointed when he found that Su Niannian hadn't come in.
Gu Nan played with the little guy for a while, while also keeping an eye on the situation in Li Guofu's yard.
More than an hour later, Li Guofu was seen coming out of the house to use the toilet, and then went back to his room.
Judging from Li Guofu's brief appearance, he was not sick and looked very energetic.
More than two hours passed, and Li Guofu was no longer seen in the courtyard.
During that time, I did see Li Baobei and Li Jinbao.
Having found no useful information, Gu Nan decided to go find Su Niannian first, then go home, and come back to check on her later in the day.
After confirming that no one was nearby by looking at the screen on the table, Gu Nan left the space.
Then they climbed down from the tree in a few quick movements.
Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly walked towards the sorghum field.
When Gu Nan arrived at the sorghum field, he saw Su Niannian helping Song Zhaodi with her work.
As the sun set, Su Niannian, wearing a straw hat and with her sleeves rolled up, was pulling weeds.
The golden sunlight fell on Su Niannian, as if she were covered with a golden halo, making her look like a fairy.
I just don't know if my little girl will get tired.
With a smile on his lips, Gu Nan quickly walked over.
Song Zhaodi was the first to spot Gu Nan and called out to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian then looked up and saw her dog of a man, and quickly gave him a big smile.
"Why are you still working? Aren't you tired?" Gu Nan quickly stepped forward to ask Su Niannian.
Su Niannian smiled and said, "I'm not tired at all. Song Zhaodi has been helping me with my work points these past two days!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan nodded to Song Zhaodi to express his gratitude.
Song Zhaodi waved her hand, "It's nothing. Since you're here, take Niannian back. I'll be off work once I'm done with this!" Song Zhaodi said.
Gu Nan glanced at Su Niannian, raised an eyebrow, as if asking Su Niannian if she wanted to help Song Zhaodi finish the rest of the work.
Su Niannian shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.
Su Niannian knew that Song Zhaodi had never liked taking advantage of others. In her eyes, Su Niannian had helped her a lot and given her many benefits, so she felt guilty. That's why she was willing to help Su Niannian with her work in return.
Anyway, Su Niannian had already helped Song Zhaodi with a lot of work in the afternoon. If she continued to do so, Song Zhaodi might feel that she owed Su Niannian a lot.
"Then finish early and go home to rest. I'll be going now," Su Niannian said with a smile to Song Zhaodi.
Song Zhaodi responded.
Su Niannian had only taken two steps when Song Zhaodi suggested, "Why don't you come over for dinner tonight?" Su Niannian was thinking of making beef noodles for dinner, so she decided to invite Song Zhaodi over to eat with them.
"No, I've already handed over the grain after you left. We're eating from the same pot now, so if I don't go back to eat, wouldn't it be a waste of my share of grain?" Song Zhaodi said with a smile.
Actually, he was also worried that it wouldn't be good for Su Niannian to go over for meals too often since she had just married into the family.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Su Niannian waved to Song Zhaodi.
Song Zhaodi also smiled and waved.
Su Niannian and Gu Nan went home together.
On the way, Su Niannian asked Gu Nan if he had found anything, and Gu Nan shook his head.
"Nothing was found, but Li Guofu was definitely faking illness," Gu Nan honestly replied to Su Niannian.
"Should we go over and take another look tonight?" Su Niannian asked again.
Gu Nan nodded.
“I think if that matter is accurate, then the village chief’s family might also have those things.” Gu Nan spoke rather cryptically, but Su Niannian knew exactly what Gu Nan was talking about.
If it truly is a cultural relic, and has already attracted the attention of the military, then it must have been more than just a single transaction.
The reason Li Guofu risked going out last night to send the things away from the foot of the mountain was probably because he was afraid of being exposed.
After all, someone had died in Kaoshan Village, the police had visited, and someone had seen Zhao Sulan heading towards the back mountain that night. The village chief was worried that the items would be exposed, so he had someone send them away.
"It's very possible. The village chief is claiming to be sick and refusing to go out. Maybe he really has something hidden at home, and he's staying home to protect it." Su Niannian thought to herself and shared her guess with Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded.
"I plan to go over and check again tonight," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian agreed with Gu Nan's suggestion, and the two planned to monitor Li Guofu after dinner.
When Su Niannian and Gu Nan arrived home, Gu's mother was already rolling out noodles in the yard.
"You're back. Weren't you going to have beef noodles tonight? I've already rolled out the noodles," Gu's mother said to Su Niannian and Gu Nan, patting the flour off her hands.
When Gu Ningning saw the two return, she quickly ran over and hugged Su Niannian again.
