Chapter 18 Chopping Wood in the Mountain



The two investigators were also busy delivering the mugwort and left soon.

Qiao Xuejun closed the big iron gate and returned to the house. After just ten minutes, he felt too hot to bear and even wanted to give up his plan to go out.

There's no way to stay on this ground for even a moment.

Qiao Xuejun entered the house, closed the door, walked to the floor of the shelter entrance, pushed open the floor tiles, grabbed the rope ladder and climbed down.

But just as he climbed to the bottom, he heard the system's warning sound again: "Host, host, someone is detected approaching the shelter, identity information identification: The two elders of the Qiao family."

The system turned on the surveillance video, and on the screen, two elderly people wearing sun hats and short jackets were striding towards the old house.

What do these two old men want to do now?

"I told you she was at home, but you didn't believe me! Now the investigators have registered that she was at home, just hiding from us!" said the old woman.

The old man spat: "This money-losing thing, I want to see how long she can hide!"

As he spoke, he picked up stones from the ground, apparently preparing to break the lock.

It turned out that they saw the investigator's registration information. Qiao Xuejun felt that something was not good. This time it was not as easy to fool as before. They already knew she was there, and they would not be satisfied unless they turned the world upside down.

Qiao Xuejun wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly climbed up the rope again.

After covering the floor tiles at the entrance, I heard the big iron door being slammed loudly.

Back on the hot ground, Qiao Xuejun was so angry that she grabbed a worn-out broom from the house and walked out. When she reached the big iron gate, she swept the two people's hands off the iron gate with the broom: "What are you doing! This is my home!"

As the broom passed by, the dust flew everywhere, and the two elders of the Qiao family quickly withdrew their hands and stepped back.

The two elders of the Qiao family reacted immediately after being driven away. The old man coughed twice and immediately cursed: "You are a heartless person! You are a swindler! You cheated Yaozu from the warehouse and why don't you return the things? How dare you not open the door for me!"

Qiao Xuejun looked at the two old men. After these days, the two old men seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but they were still energetic.

There should be no shortage of food and drink. After all, compared to commercial housing in cities, rural areas have inherent advantages in doomsday survival, and almost every household has stored food. This is also the reason why Qiao Xuejun has not been targeted so far. If no one is short of food, naturally no one will rob him.

However, the reserves are still limited, and the meat reserves are just this year's bacon and pickled meat, which are at most a few dozen kilograms and cannot be eaten for long.

So I thought about the supply warehouse that Qiao Xuejun had moved away to pay off the debt. After all, most of them were food.

The old woman of the Qiao family also put her hands on her hips and started to curse: "You seem to be happy staying alone, but your unlucky mother killed my son and left you a money-loser. You ungrateful bastard. We fed you well in the past, but you took everything out of our warehouse, and now you dare to turn us away! Damn it! I should have strangled you to death in the past!"

The old woman spoke very loudly and tried to use moral kidnapping to control Qiao Xuejun. This trick is very effective in the countryside.

As she was talking, the old woman began to howl again: "Open the door! I am not going to leave here. Let the villagers see that you are not a big shot from the city. Even your grandparents don't recognize you!"

Even use outsiders to exert moral pressure.

Qiao Xuejun didn't even raise her eyebrows. If the two came up, she would just sweep them over cleanly with a broom. She wouldn't fall for that.

Qiao Xuejun put a hat on the two of them: "You have mad cow disease, so don't think about infecting me."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and pretended to report it.

Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Man Qiao's faces changed immediately. The town is now catching mad cow disease, and the whole city is in turmoil and everyone is on high alert. None of the people who were caught have come back, and no one wants to be accused of mad cow disease at this juncture.

The old woman was furious: "You are going to call the police!"

Qiao Xuejun looked at them and said, "You two have bloodshot eyes and you're throwing rocks at my door. Is this your house? Why are you barging in? Your eyes are bloodshot and you're very aggressive. If this isn't mad cow disease, what is it?"

The old man was even more radical, and threw the stone in his hand directly at Qiao Xuejun: "You bastard, you deserve to go to hell!"

Qiao Xuejun dodged, but fortunately the stone was big enough and was blocked by the iron gate and could not come in. However, it hit with great force and gravel flew everywhere.

Qiao Xuejun's face turned cold and she dialed the phone directly, calling the reporting number left by the investigator.

"The CDC? I reported someone for visiting my house during quarantine and forcibly entering it. After I refused, they still resorted to violence, trying to break in by smashing the door and even trying to attack me."

The staff on the other end of the phone immediately became serious: "We'll send someone over right away."

The Qiao family elders didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, but when they saw that she really reported it, their faces froze, and then they scolded: "The community clerks are all from the town. Do you think they are all like you, turning their backs on you after leaving the town?"

They are the ones who have lived in the town for decades and have some reputation, but who is Qiao Xuejun? She hasn't come back for so many years, who knows her! And they are the elderly, so they are treated preferentially!

Thinking of this, the two elders of the Qiao family were not afraid at all. They started to quarrel with Qiao Xuejun again and tried to enter the small house to search for things.

The investigator was already in town, and upon receiving the assignment he rushed over immediately in less than ten minutes.

When they arrived, they saw the two elders of the Qiao family standing outside the iron gate, cursing and holding stones in their hands, while Qiao Xuejun was standing inside the iron gate with a broom in her hand, and no one was allowed to get close.
