Fertile land

Chapter 72

Li Sanmao and his son carried it twice under a big fire before carrying the blind bear's meat back!

Since it was already getting late and we had some cover, we didn’t meet anyone from the village on the road, so it was pretty safe...

By the time I finished memorizing it and put it away, it was already midnight.

Zhou was so excited that she waited until they all came back to confirm before going to bed.

Li Sanmao washed up, and Luo Zhi'er and Miaomiao had already gone to bed and had a good sleep!

Because Luo Zhi'er had to go pick mushrooms the next day, she had to recharge her batteries, there was nothing to wait for!

In a daze, before dawn, a burst of curses suddenly rang out from the yard!
There were also cries and sounds of panic that pierced the sky.

Li Sanmao sat up on the floor and saw Luo Zhi'er half-lying and rubbing his eyes, and looked at him curiously.

"Sanmao, what happened? Why did I hear mom say the meat is gone?"

"I'll get up and take a look, and you can go back to sleep!"

Li Sanmao looked at the darkness outside, his brows furrowed, and he became alert. Has his home been robbed?

"No, I can't sleep anyway. I have to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms later. Let me get up too!"

After Luo Zhi'er put on her clothes and went out with Li Sanmao, Li Daqiang also got up. Old Li Tou ran out and stared angrily: "Old lady, why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning when it's still dark?"

It's unlucky to do it so early in the morning!

"Are you still going to let people sleep?"

Li Daqiang also opened the door and asked, "Mom, what are you shouting about?"

"Damn it, our bear meat, those big paws are gone!"

"Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! You just know how to sleep! My bear meat was stolen and I didn't even know it!"

"You're a thief seeking death! You can't steal anything. Are you stealing bear skins, bear paws, and my bear meat?"

"Are you secretly making a coffin copy? It's my money! You're a damn thief!"

Li Sanmao immediately went to the backyard where the bear meat was hidden.

Others also ran over in a hurry, and the cellar lid had been opened...

They put it in the cellar in the backyard last night. This cellar was dug by Lao Litou before, and it was used to store things. It was usually covered with a lid, and no one else knew about it!
Mr. Zhou wakes up at night.

It's not usually this early. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep after getting such a big bear. She estimated that she would have to pay more than ten taels of silver.

After going to the toilet, I couldn't help but pass by the cellar to take a look at the treasure...

I discovered that the cellar lid seemed to have been moved...

Open it and check it out. This check is amazing!
She said she heard the sound of wind blowing, and also said that she heard something strange, like the cry of a yaksha...

Then there were footsteps leading people away, and the more I heard them, the more frightened I became...

People in the village are taboo about hearing this, and they will deliberately hide it when they hear such sounds, especially the elderly. She is actually afraid sometimes!
Cover yourself with the quilt and fall asleep for a while!

Is this good?
Li Sanmao went to the cellar, and Luo Zhi'er followed him. The cellar was in a mess...

The meat was chopped into small pieces, which made it easier for thieves to steal. All that was left of the pile on the ground was a bamboo mat used for paving the floor, leaving behind a pool of blood...

Luo Zhi'er was speechless. This third man was busy working in the middle of the night. His feelings were made for someone else's wedding?
The whole family was too tired and all slept too soundly. Now, everything was stolen...

"Ouch, my baby is so bumpy, it's my money! I can't breathe!"

Mrs. Zhou came in and couldn't bear the blow, so she started to roll on the ground and prepare to cry!

"Okay, don't howl!"

He turned to look at Li Sanmao and said, "Sanmao, Daqiang, what do you think?"

"Dad, we didn't meet anyone else in the village when we came back last night?" Li Daqiang thought seriously.

"That's the truth. Who is it? The one who knew we had the bear meat and still put it here?"

Li Sanmao looked at the ground coldly, nodded slightly,
"This person is designated to follow us all the way without making a sound and watch us put things into the cellar!"

"Wait until we fall asleep to act! Hmph... maybe I'm not alone..."

Collaborate on crime!

"Sanmao, do you have anyone to suspect?"

Li Sanmao glanced at Luo Zhi'er, and the two of them suspected one person because they came back in the afternoon and ran into him.

But since there is no evidence, we have to wait and see who will sell it!
This village is relatively big, but there are a few thieves. It’s hard to tell if you don’t have evidence. If he can steal it back, he can find a place to hide it, or he has already found a buyer and sold it!

This kind of sneaky person has a middleman who specializes in taking over things. Otherwise, where do you think he stole them and sold them?

Li Sanmao and Luo Zhi'er returned to the house. Mrs. Zhou was still cursing in the house. Somehow, this disaster poured on Luo Zhi'er's head.

"This Luo Zhi'er, she has no good intentions and is looking for trouble. Why is she a blind bear? She tortures people for half a night, and then they will be fine, but the meat will be gone. She is a harmful person!"

"Damn it, can you please shut up for me! The third daughter-in-law is not to blame for this!"

It was because they failed to defend themselves that Zhou was stopped by Old Li Tou...

Seeing that his face was ashen, she began to curse little Zhou again...

"Old man! Maybe a thief in the family stole it. Who except our family members knew that we had black blind meat?"

"Who in the family wants money the most right now? Isn't it that evil-minded little hoof!"

She didn't doubt that Luo Zhi'er had stolen it. Luo Zhi'er didn't have that problem, but it was hard to say about the other one...

Lao Li wanted to stop him, but he seemed to think it was reasonable. She didn't get up in the morning. She slept peacefully despite such a big thing happening at home.

Or just avoid it?

Little Zhou cried in the room and asked Li Daqiang: "Did I steal it? Am I easy to bully? Do you think I can move so much flesh on my bones?"

"Didn't you just fall asleep next to me? Didn't I get up and go outside?"

"You are talking!"

Little Zhou beat Li Daqiang for a while, and then ridiculed Li Daqiang for a while...

"Daughter-in-law, she just wants to vent her anger and has no other intention!"

He was so asleep just now that he didn't even know if his wife had gotten up. It's just that his wife had been feeling uncomfortable for the past two days. He didn't think it was...

As for taking advantage, she does a little bit of stealing...

"Spread your anger? Can you act like a man and go out to protect your wife's face and say that your wife didn't do it?"

"Mother Muqing, please stop making trouble. I have to clear the ground later. Let me lie down... and take a rest!"

Yubi turned around and snored again, falling asleep...

"you……"

She is really crying, but he is sleeping. He still has the mind to sleep, can he sleep?

In the end, it was Old Li Tou who persuaded Mrs. Zhou: "Old lady, stop howling. I told you about this last night and don't spread it outside!"

"If the people in the village know that we have a blind bear, there might be trouble!"

Zhou curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.

She didn't believe what he said. Her family's hunting of a big black bear was something worth showing off to them. To make those people jealous and envious, especially that Zhao Xiaomei, what was so great about her son being able to build a house?
Her son can fight bears and will be an official in the future, so the house is worth nothing!
But... now there's nothing left, it's all the fault of that thief!
