80 Chapter 80 Something Happened
Seeing the remaining half of the bun, Gu Chengrui’s eyes immediately narrowed.
Because he could tell that this kind of steamed bun with lots of ingredients was definitely not bought.
The main issue was that there weren’t many houses in the village that made this kind of bun, and it was impossible for them to use it to harm a dog. This meant it was most likely done by an outsider with decent family wealth.
After that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and scooped out a small part of the meat filling. When he returned, he said in a low voice, “Babe, I’m going to go into the inters.p.a.ce to do some tests to see what kind of poison was used. Look after the Da Hua.”
“Follow me.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she returned to the living room and sent him into her inters.p.a.ce.
When she came out, she had a small bottle of pepper spray in her hand. Then, she put it in her ap.r.o.n and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
It wasn’t until lunch was ready that Zhou Ying let Da Hua eat first. She entered the west room and closed the door before entering the villa’s second floor in her inters.p.a.ce.
Seeing Gu Chengrui still busy in the laboratory, Zhou Ying walked over and asked, “Is the result not out yet? Your meal is ready.”
“You guys eat first. Pick me up in half an hour.” Gu Chengrui said without turning his head.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying retreated. After keeping a portion of his food, she started lunch with Da Hua.
After lunch, the sky turned dark, and a northwest wind blew. Obviously, the yuba couldn’t be dried anymore. Zhou Ying gave Da Hua a large bowl of tofu pudding and asked her to go home and rest.
She brought food into her inters.p.a.ce. Gu Chengrui had just finished his work, so she heated it in the microwave and pa.s.sed it to him.
After he finished eating, Zhou Ying asked, “Rui, do you know what poison it is?”
“It’s a.r.s.enic. It’s not difficult to determine that.
“However, I used traditional medicine to make some disinfectants and anesthetics to replace iodophor and our modern anesthetics. Otherwise, the stock in your inters.p.a.ce wouldn’t last long.
“Oh right, I’ve also made some high-concentrate knockout powder for self-defense. Just in case, I’ll bring a bag with me when I go out in the future.”
“Then who do you think is trying to harm Er Zhuang? I don’t think it’s an ordinary thief.” Zhou Ying asked thoughtfully.
“It’s hard to say.” Gu Chengrui shook his head. He hesitated but still told her what Tian Jiaw.a.n.g had told him. He then told her about how he had hired the Tiger and Leopard Brothers. “If it’s really the Qiao family, we have to be careful. They’re not merely after us for the recipe.”
“I will. By the way, it’s getting cloudy outside. Let’s hurry up and clean up the house.” After saying that, she took him out of her inters.p.a.ce.
They didn’t expect that it was already drizzling outside. The two immediately took the yuba from the yard into the house.
After that, Gu Chengrui fed the donkey and returned. The two of them went into the kitchen and made the remaining soy milk into dried tofu and braised two sets of pig intestines.
After the two finished their work, they took out a bag of coal from the inters.p.a.ce and added it to the stove. Then, they sealed the fireplace and returned to the living room.
They cooked dinner in the inters.p.a.ce that night.
After dinner, the two drank a pot of tea, and each took out a book to read.
Of course, Gu Chengrui was reading medical books, while Zhou Ying was reading cooking books.
Just as the two added more fire and were about to enter the inters.p.a.ce, Er Zhuang suddenly barked out, followed by a knock on the door.
The two listened to the heavy and urgent knocking on the door. After looking at each other, Zhou Ying immediately put away the table lamp, books, tea set, and other things that should not appear in the room into her inters.p.a.ce.
Gu Chengrui put on his coat and walked out while shouting, “Who is it? What’s the matter?”
“Chengrui, it’s your second brother. Father and Second uncle are seriously injured. Hurry and bring the medicine to the house. I have to go back first.” Gu Chengye ran back in a hurry after he finished speaking.
