Chapter 33 Stealing Cassava



Seeing that the villagers didn't want to join them and wouldn't give them soup or meat, Tong threw a tantrum and cried out, "God, please take them away! They bully us because we are few in number and don't give us meat or soup. They are so inhumane."

Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lao, Mrs. Yu, and the village head's wife were about to step forward to argue with her, but Gao Zhijun got the better of her and started cursing, "What are you cursing about? We caught these pheasants and rabbits. If we want to feed you, you can eat them. If we don't, you'll just have to watch us. What are you arguing about? If you have the guts, go catch them yourselves. We won't take a single hair from you. If you keep arguing, I'll beat you until you can't get out of bed."

After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she raised her fist provocatively.

She will never lose against a rogue.

The place where she lives is full of masters. Even though she is in the pavilion, no one dares to offend her.

How could she be afraid of a powerless shrew?

"That's right. The pheasants and rabbits were caught by Miss Gao and Huo Jinqian and his brothers. She doesn't want to give them to you, so you can only watch."

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless."

"What can we do? They are thick-skinned."

The villagers were talking about Tong one after another, and as they talked, they burst into laughter.

Tong wanted to fight back, but when she saw Gao Zhijun's fist and thought of her martial arts, she could only leave reluctantly.

Seeing that Tong did not gain any advantage and was even ridiculed by the villagers, Fang naturally did not dare to go and ask for trouble.

The villagers had their second rich dinner since they fled the famine. The last time was the night they killed the wild wolf.

The last time we killed wild wolves, many villagers were injured and everyone was in a heavy mood. This time, everyone is safe, so we are very happy and excited.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own camps.

The Huo family returned to their place and sat down to rest.

Gao Zhijun wanted to take out some sweet potatoes from her backpack to show Hawking and the others, and at the same time tell Mrs. Lu how to cook cassava.

When I arrived at the place where the cassava was stored, I felt that both baskets seemed to be missing one or two cassavas.

Damn, someone is here to steal cassava.

Is he the one who doesn't want to die?

If eaten raw, it can cause poisoning and death.

"Quick, inform the village head, our cassava has been stolen."

Gao Zhijun came over and said to the Huo family, especially Huo Jinqian and Huo Jinhao.

Huo Jinhao, Huo Jinqian, and Huo Jinbai knew that cassava could be poisonous if not handled properly, and they were very anxious and worried.

"Could you have seen it wrong?" After only a quarter of an hour of eating, someone came to steal. Huo Jinqian still didn't believe it.

"It's correct. I made a mark before we ate. There should be three cassava sticks missing."

Gao Zhijun said very affirmatively.

She was afraid that someone would come and steal, so she made a special mark.

If it is sweet potato, it can be stolen, but cassava is different, it will cause poisoning.

After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she hurried to find the village head.

Huo Jinqian, Huo Jinhao and Huo Jinbai also ran over.

The three brothers Huo Zhicheng and the third aunt of the Lao family followed, while the rest of the people stayed to look after Cassava.

"Girl, what's the matter that makes you run to me so quickly?"

Seeing Gao Zhijun running with sweat all over her forehead, the village head asked anxiously.

He felt a little nervous, as if something was about to happen.

Otherwise, the girl wouldn't come over.

"Uncle Lizheng, didn't we dig cassava today?

I just checked and noticed three cassava strips are missing.

As you know, although cassava can be eaten as food, it can be poisonous if not handled properly or eaten raw.

If it’s serious, it could be fatal.”

Gao Zhijun spoke like a machine gun.

"Girl, are you mistaken? No one stole the cassava."

When the village head heard that someone might die from poisoning, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his voice trembled a little. He hoped that Gao Zhijun had made a mistake.

Gao Zhijun said confidently, "No mistake! I marked it. Three cassava strips are missing."

Gao Zhijun didn't seem to be lying, so it meant that some villagers had really stolen the cassava: "But everyone was eating, it's impossible for someone to leave and steal the cassava."

"Wait, Tong and Fang won't eat with us, could it be them?"

"Oh no, let's go find them."

The village head was so scared by Tong's petty and sneaky nature that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Huo Zhiyuan and his friends lived a little far from the head of the village. Gao Zhijun ran past them in a hurry and saw them. She suspected that something big was going to happen, otherwise Miss Gao would not be so reckless. Therefore, all the villagers who saw them followed them to the head of the village.

Now we hear that it is because the food called cassava that Miss Gao dug today may cause poisoning and death if eaten, and some villagers went to steal the cassava, and the person who stole the cassava may be Tong, so everyone followed to Tong's residence to watch the show.

Yes, the person who stole the cassava was Tong.

The villagers refused to give her family chicken and rabbit soup, and she was very angry. However, she couldn't beat Gao Zhijun, so she had to leave in anger.

When she returned to where they lived and looked at the wild vegetable pancakes, she hated Gao Zhijun in her heart.

Suddenly, she remembered that Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian and others carried back two baskets of things. They must be edible, otherwise they would not have brought them back.

She came up with a plan: since you won’t give me soup, I will steal your good things.

She avoided the villagers and quietly came to Huo Zhiyuan's residence. She saw two baskets of cassava, so she stole three big and thick cassava strips.

In order not to arouse suspicion, she took both baskets.

What she didn't know was that Gao Zhijun had made a mark and could see it at a glance.
