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...
"Don't mention the aroma of meat, it's really tempting! After I smelled it during the day, my mind was filled with the aroma of meat for the whole afternoon today! It's so tempting!" The fourth brother moved his nose, as if he could still smell the lingering aroma of meat in the air.
"Isn't it just some meat? Why are you so greedy? Can you be a bit more promising?!" Mingming swallowed his saliva greedily after hearing it, but the second brother on the side still looked at the fourth brother with contempt.
"Bah! If you have the guts, just don't eat it later!" The fourth brother spat at the other person.
Ever since the blizzard hit, the six of them hadn't had a full meal in a long time. Not only couldn't they eat meat, but even ordinary compressed biscuits couldn't fill them up. They only had two meals a day, and most of them were watery. Life was just too miserable!
Thinking that he might be able to have a full meal of meat later, the fourth brother's originally yellow face showed a blush of excitement.
"Hey, I grabbed it, why should I not eat it? Do you think I'm a fool?" The second brother came out to argue.
"Isn't this all your fault? You have all the reasons in the world, what else do you want me to say?" The fourth brother spat in dissatisfaction.
Although the voices of the few people were very low, the young man with a crew cut who had been silent all this time glared at them fiercely. Regardless of whether they saw it or not, he lowered his voice and scolded, "Alright, stop talking nonsense here! Wanxi Village used to be notoriously poor, and with poverty and hardship comes unruly people... These guys are not to be trifled with. If we get discovered, the three of us can't take on an entire village! So be quiet, and don't make any noise so no one hears."
"Hey, big brother, don't worry. We have done this so many times, and every time we made you satisfied. This time will be the same. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!" Lao Wu looked at the quiet mountain village around him, his eyes shining as he whispered a reassurance to the young man with a crew cut.
The six of them used to be hooligans in the county town. With little savings, they took advantage of their youth to commit petty thefts to earn enough money to play cards and eat. They didn't have any big ambitions, so they just wandered the streets when they were broke. But they didn't expect that just when they were short of money and were about to go for a stroll and catch some goodies, the earthquake struck...
Of the group, only the eldest and fourth were locals in the county town and had their own houses. So after the earthquake, their houses collapsed, leaving them without a place to stay, not even their family members. They could only suppress their grief and search for shelter and food.
They get their share of the spoils when they go to the county department store to grab things, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to survive until now.
But they were timid after all. They were not the ones who started the robbery. Later, when they saw the people above them bringing armed police to suppress the riot, they ran away immediately!
According to their ideas...
Living in the county town is definitely easier than living in the city. Not only are there emergency kits dropped by air, but they can also steal some things from other people's homes from time to time, which is enough to feed them.
But what they never expected was that when it was snowing, a group of guys came out from nowhere, occupied the territory they had just found, and kicked them out of the county.
Otherwise, they would not have left the familiar county town and instead came to Wanxi Village, an unfamiliar and remote place.
"Tsk!" Thinking of the hard times his brothers had endured along the way, the crew-haired young man's face turned grim. "Let's stick to the old rules this time. We'll steal from a few more houses while they're not paying attention. Once we get what we want, we'll leave Wanxi Village and never come back again."
They had previously relied on such excuses to rob people from three or four residential areas in the county town.
"Okay, we'll listen to the boss! We'll do whatever the boss tells us to do!" The fourth brother patted his chest and promised that as long as he could have enough to eat and not go hungry, he would do anything!
It was freezing cold at night, and the six people were not familiar with the situation in Wanxi Village. However, the weather was good tonight, with a large moon hanging high in the sky above their heads, and coupled with the reflection of the snow, they did not need to use other tools such as flashlights to clearly see the scene on the roadside and sneak into Wanxi Village.
In Wanxi Village, most of the houses that are still standing today are old wooden houses.
Seeing this, Lao Liu frowned. "Does their village really have food? Seeing that most of the houses in the village have collapsed, any food that was available is probably buried underground...Is our trip here in vain?"
After the earthquake, they stole things from so many houses. They also knew which houses had more things and which houses had less things. Since they wanted to steal things, they naturally went after the big fat sheep. Just focusing on the plain porridge and side dishes was meaningless!
"Yes! It's right here. Let's go this way! I smelled the fragrance here when I was scouting the area today!" The fourth brother pointed to a road and said in a low voice.
His nose is no exaggeration! Especially after a period of time, his already sensitive sense of smell has been enhanced by who knows how many times. Lao Si is leading the way, and he is particularly confident!
The crew-haired young man said nothing more, waved his hand, and told someone to follow the fourth brother. They had plenty of time tonight, so if they couldn't find anything, they could return and steal. The same could be done for other people's houses, so they didn't need much time.
Six figures walked quietly towards Qin Suyun's house.
In the entire Wanxi Village, which family eats the most meat?
It was obvious that it was Qin Suyun. She was the only one in the village with nine dogs, and the meat these nine dogs ate every day was enough to feed an average family for a week. A while ago, Qin Suyun would mix a lot of rice into the food she gave Dahei and the others, but recently, Dahei and the others had been consuming so much meat every day that the whole family couldn't finish it all in a day. So, Qin Suyun simply gave Dahei and the others a large bowl of meat, without any rice at all.
In this way, Qin Suyun had to stew more meat every day. Apart from these housework, she had nothing else to do at home. It was icy and snowy outside, and even work was difficult. Qin Suyun simply found different ways to make delicious food for herself every day. If Qin Suyun's home was not far away, the fragrance could not spread far, and other people in the village did not have a dog nose like the fourth brother, I am afraid that someone would want to report their family to the newspaper because of the situation they faced.
The six people walked along the cleared village road and immediately saw the house with the towering wall!
The six people's eyes suddenly lit up!
This man's house was so nice that it was completely incomparable to the houses they saw when they first entered the village. Even though the house looked gray and inconspicuous on the outside, the towering walls were enough to give them a great shock.
"Damn! The wall is so high, the owner must have a lot of good things. I really came to the right place this time!" The second brother widened his eyes and looked at the whole house from beginning to end with shining eyes.
"You're right, maybe it's the house of some corrupt official! Otherwise, why would they build such a high wall?! There must be a lot of money and food in it! Maybe there are also some valuable jewelry! In my life, this is the first time I've seen such a high wall around a private yard! But this won't be a problem for us!" After spitting twice into his palm, the fourth brother rushed forward with shining eyes, wanting to climb the wall.
Even though the outside of the wall is made of cement and there is no room for them to support themselves, the six of them are not afraid!
Six people stood outside Qin Suyun's courtyard, ready to fight, intending to have two people climb the wall and enter the courtyard to open the door for the others. Hei Dou, who had heard the commotion on the second floor, tugged at his ears and instantly sat up from his curled-up position. With a light leap, he jumped from the cat bed to the windowsill nearby, looking down at the situation in the courtyard.
However, the wall of Qin Suyun's house was too high. When Hei Dou jumped onto the windowsill, he could not see what was happening outside the yard. The black cat tilted its head and shook its whiskers, then jumped down from the windowsill lightly, opened the door, slipped out of the bedroom, and ran to the glass house on the third floor. With the height of the glass house, the black cat's bright green eyes naturally saw the several black shadows swaying outside the yard, and sharpened its claws.
Not only Hei Dou was awakened by the noise of the six people outside, but Dahei and the others also woke up quickly. They opened the door quietly, and the wolfhounds ran to the yard in an orderly manner from behind the door. Their pairs of eyes that reflected light in the night were staring at the place where the noise came from at the door.
"Hey, boss, did you hear any strange noises? Why did I just hear some strange movements?"
The fourth of the six people who was about to climb up asked doubtfully.
"What strange sound is there? Stop imagining it here... There is a forest behind this place. The wind is strong and the trees are rustling in the forest at night, how could there be no sound at all? Okay, hurry up and open the door for me, you are wasting time! The sixth brother will go up later!" The second brother slapped the fourth brother and urged him.
Urged by his brothers, the fourth brother did not dare to waste time. He stepped on the second brother's knees, stood on the fifth brother's shoulders, and climbed up!
Qin Suyun had covered the top of the 3.5-meter-high wall with broken glass and had also installed an electric grid. However, the grid she had painstakingly purchased was still somewhat different from the kind used in heavy prisons. So, she simply used two simple wires to form a circle around the top of the walls surrounding the courtyard. Coincidentally, the solar panels had been working today, and the grid, which had been out of power for a long time, was reconnected!
But the six people below were completely unaware!
