Apocalyptic Pastoral Landlord

Qin Suyun had a dream, dreaming that she was betrayed by her husband and friend, ending up lonely and miserable. In her dream, she witnessed a global natural disaster, with the entire world devasta...

Chapter 86

“Woof woof woof!——”

The expressions of the people opposite changed so quickly that Xiaoqi and the others, who had just been confronting others, were suddenly dizzy. They looked at the people opposite, who were looking at them with shining eyes, with a look of expectation and kindness on their faces, and turned their heads back to look at their masters.

Let’s see what the master means.

Qin Suyun looked at He Zhennan with some suspicion. She was a little doubtful whether her dog could really smell the scent of the person who stole things last night.

The nighttime blizzard was so intense it could quickly bury a person's footsteps. Although Dahei and the others had taken Jade Dew and their physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary wolfhounds, wasn't it a bit difficult to smell someone's scent from hours ago in the snow?

In the crowd, Cao Shufen's expression changed subconsciously. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have followed this group of people here to watch the fun this morning.

Her son and husband were both injured in the earthquake a few days ago. Although they were not as seriously injured as Zhao Fugui, who lost half his life, her son's bones were fractured and her husband's arm was also injured. Every time he moved, his chest would hurt severely.

Under such circumstances, how could Cao Shufen bear to let her son and the man go up the mountain to chop firewood? Even when the village called for people to cut down trees and build houses, she was reluctant to let her son and the man go up the mountain together.

Cao Shufen's family didn't have much firewood in reserve, and their house collapsed in the earthquake. They didn't have much spare money, and even when they bought charcoal before, they borrowed money from others based on the amount used in previous years. However, such a small amount of charcoal burned very quickly in such extreme weather. The amount used in the past was no longer enough now. The coal consumed every day was almost equivalent to more than ten days' worth of charcoal on ordinary days.

Under such circumstances, the home's firewood and coal reserves dropped sharply.

Cao Shufen thought about going up the mountain to chop firewood herself, but how could she dare to go up the mountain in such weather?

On the road leading to the mountain behind the village, the snow had already accumulated to more than one meter high because no one had cleared it, and in some places it was even more than two meters high!

The entire mountain was covered with heavy snow!

On the first day of the snowstorm, some villagers went up the mountain to chop firewood.

However, after one night, when the snow was thicker than thighs the next day, no one went up the mountain to chop wood in the blizzard anymore, as everyone was afraid of being trapped in the mountains and unable to get out.

They had never experienced such low temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero before!

In addition, there was an earthquake before, and many places on the mountain have changed. If something happens, it will really not be worth it!

Fearing that something might happen while cutting firewood in the mountains, the big guys in the village who had coal burned it, and those who didn't burned the big trees that the villagers had hired people to cut firewood for building houses. Some people who were close to each other and had limited firewood and coal at home agreed to stay together during the day to reduce the consumption of firewood, and then go home to sleep at night.

In this way, most people can barely survive, and the charcoal and coal can still last for a while.

Only Cao Shufen felt that the last time she quarreled with Qin Suyun, her pants were bitten off by a dog in public, and she lost face in front of others.

Therefore, he had no intention of living with other people, so he just managed to live in the utility room in his backyard where the hoe was originally stored, and he made a fire to keep warm.

But even though the wooden storage room was small, the daily consumption of firewood and coal was still astonishingly large.

By now, Cao Shufen's family was running out of firewood and coal, so she thought of secretly going to other people's homes at night to get some.

Originally, she only wanted to carry two loads from Jiang Xuemei's house and hold on for another week. However, she didn't expect that Jiang Xuemei and her husband were sleeping very soundly, and her movements did not wake up the two people who were sleeping at home at night.

So, she couldn't control herself and carried five loads of coal home. In order to avoid suspicion, she even took a long detour and went to Qin Suyun's side before hiding the loads of coal.

However, he didn't expect that he was discovered because he took a long detour and circled around Qin Suyun!

When Cao Shufen thought that she would most likely be found by the dog in this woman's house, her face became uglier. When she looked at Qin Suyun, she couldn't help but look at her with a bit of disgust. If it weren't for this woman, how could she be exposed?

She had covered herself up completely last night, even hunching over when she walked, making it difficult to tell her height. Even if someone knew her, they probably wouldn't have guessed it was her.

"quack!"

Zhazha flew out of the house with snow all over his head and landed on Qin Suyun's shoulder. He tilted his head and looked at the villagers holding umbrellas at his doorstep.

The macaw with its bright and colorful feathers immediately attracted everyone's attention. Against a large background of white, gray and black, it was hard for such a beautiful bird not to attract attention.

Even Jiang Hongmei, who was originally worried about her coal being stolen, was attracted by the bird in front of her. They had only seen such a big bird on TV before!

"Since everyone believes in the abilities of Dahei, Xiaoqi and the others, why don't we go to Aunt Jiang's house now to see if we can find the thief who stole the coal last night as soon as possible." Qin Suyun sighed in her heart. She had no idea whether Dahei and the others could really help find the lost coal. However, Qin Suyun did not show it on her face. Instead, she looked as calm as before.

"Yes, yes! Let's go and see if we can find this heartless guy!" Aunt Jiang didn't ask Qin Suyun and the others to watch the video this time. Instead, she chose to believe Qin Suyun and Huo Tianchen because of what other people in the village had said before.

Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Hongmei now wants to borrow a dog from Qin Suyun. If she offends the other party at this time and the other party is unwilling to lend the dog, wouldn’t that mean she would have let the black-hearted thief escape in vain?

Qin Suyun took Dahei and the others out, feeling like she was forcing a duck to climb a tree. She didn't know whether she could find the guy who stole coal last night. She could only hope that Dahei and the others' sense of smell was more sensitive than she imagined.

However, just as Qin Suyun was walking out reluctantly, Zhazha, who had landed on her shoulder, suddenly flew up and circled directly over Cao Shufen's head, cackled excitedly, its small eyes still fixed on Cao Shufen.

"Hahaha! So and so, this person, this person last night, came to our house, came to our house! This person came to our house last night! Hahaha! ... This person came to our house last night! Hahaha!"

Everyone, “?!!!”

"What's wrong with you, Cao Shufen?! Why did you end up at Qin Suyun's house last night?! Could it be that you were the one who stole coal from our house last night?!"

The chirping sound was loud and clear. When Jiang Hongmei heard it, her face turned pale. She put her hands on her hips, glared at Cao Shufen with a blazing fire in her eyes!

"Aunt Jiang, please don't listen to the nonsense this bird is talking about. How could I do such a thing? Am I that kind of person?! We are old neighbors and have lived together in the village for decades. Don't you believe me?!" Cao Shufen looked grim and naturally could not answer yes.

"What are you talking about? Get out of here, get out of here! Stop talking nonsense here!" She waved her hands with a grim expression, trying to drive away the chirping bird that was circling above her head. However, the chirping bird was flying high, and Cao Shufen used all her strength but still couldn't drive it away. She looked at Qin Suyun with gritted teeth, "Qin Suyun, are you deliberately framing me?! What can a parrot understand? Why would it suddenly fly over my head and say such things? If you hadn't taught me this, I would never have believed it! How can a parrot be so smart? It can recognize people! It's obvious that you deliberately framed me, so you taught this bird to say such things!"

"Even parrots can frame people! Your dog will definitely find my house soon! You are clearly taking revenge on me for the earthquake!" Cao Shufen spoke loudly, and seemed very confident.

However, only Cao Shufen herself knew how much sweat she had shed on her back in such a cold day.

“Huh?!!”

Qin Suyun hasn't said anything yet, Zhazha stopped working!

Lord Zhazha is the smartest bird in the world, and this person dares to say that he doesn't even recognize a human! Isn't he just a hairless biped? How can he not even recognize that? This person is still wearing the black cotton jacket he wore last night!

"No one taught me. It was you who sneaked in front of our house last night carrying a load on your back! Haha!" Zhazha shouted angrily, swooped down and ruffled Cao Shufen's hair with one claw.

Last night when it was sleeping in the bird's nest on the third floor, it saw with its own eyes this man acting stealthily!

"You flat-haired beast, you actually dare to arrest people? I'm going to beat you to death!" Cao Shufen waved the umbrella in her hand and hit Zhazha hard.

"That's enough." Zhao Xingguo grabbed Cao Shufen's arm, which was waving the umbrella, and frowned as he looked at her. "It's just a bird. Even if it said something wrong, you shouldn't do this!"

Macaws are nationally protected animals, how can they be killed casually?!

"Birds have the best vision among all animals. If it was really you who stole the coal from Aunt Jiang's house last night, I hope you will return the coal to Aunt Jiang." Qin Suyun waved at Zhazha, letting the big parrot fly back to her shoulder, and said with a frown.

The bird in her house never lies about anything else except food.
