Chapter 56 How wicked!
"...Burning bottle?"
The green beer bottle had shattered, and thick smoke suddenly poured out.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the yard except wet soil and tiles, and the fire did not spread.
He Chuan reacted immediately, and rushed upstairs with Qian Qianshangli, took two buckets of water and went downstairs to put out the fire in the yard.
Zhou Weiyue came out holding Zhuo Zhuo, patted Zhuo Zhuo's back gently and coaxed him softly, looking out the door with worried eyes.
Chen Qingqing stood in the yard, scanning the surroundings sharply.
The old lady just now was still standing on the balcony, leaning on a cane.
It was the old lady who shouted just now.
Chen Qingqing: "Auntie, did you see who threw the bottle?"
The old lady shook her head: "I just saw a small red tricycle passing by on the street, and I didn't see anyone."
The zombies that were originally gathered at the door also ran away most of the way with the tricycle.
Chen Qingqing's heart sank. If she couldn't find the culprit as soon as possible, the other party might come to cause trouble again.
But she didn't expect that there would be such a person in Fengwei Village.
What good will it do him to hurt others and not benefit himself!
"But he didn't target you."
"Several families have been thrown this bottle." The old lady added.
"...Several families?" Chen Qingqing raised her eyes and looked over.
"Then do you know what our families have in common?"
The old lady shook her head: "I don't know."
To the left of Chen Qingqing's house is an abandoned empty house, to the right is the old lady, and opposite is a road and a grassland next to a hill.
Chen Qingqing couldn't find anyone else to ask about the situation.
Chen Qingqing and the old lady's house are relatively remote, and you need to drive through the entire village to get there.
In other words, everyone in the village knows that someone has come. Although there are only 50 households, it is still difficult to find out who is behind it.
But Chen Qingqing will definitely not back down. Even if she has to look for it door to door, she will find the person riding the red tricycle.
"You have to be careful too." Chen Qingqing said to the old lady.
"I know, I am an old man, I don't go out every day, and I won't offend anyone..."
The old lady paused when she said this, and then hurriedly called Chen Qingqing.
"Now that you mention it, I remember something."
"It seems that those families who were thrown into the fire had all been out."
Chen Qingqing frowned, thanked the old lady for the information, and returned to the house.
Everyone in the house heard their conversation clearly.
Shang Li looked confused: "Got out? What does that matter? Does he treat the road as his home? Only he is allowed to step on it but others are not allowed to?"
Zhou Weiyue finally coaxed Huo Huo to sleep again, came back and sat next to Shang Li, stroking his chin and thinking: "Maybe those who went out did something and stepped on his minefield?"
He Chuan was puzzled: "Even if others really did something embarrassing, we have only arrived for a few hours and haven't even left the house. How could we offend him?"
The room was silent.
Shang Li gritted his teeth and said, "Even if they really offended us, they wouldn't have to resort to such a cruel method that would damage their moral integrity, right?"
"If there were things piled up in our yard and the fire really spread, it wouldn't be so easy to put out."
"Besides, we are not bad people. We have helped the village get rid of many zombies! After a while, all the zombies in the village will be cleaned up by us. This will benefit the whole village!"
Shang Li became angrier and angrier as he thought about it: "Sister, the villagers will definitely help us find this person, right? After all, everyone wants to live a safe life."
Chen Qingqing nodded.
Chen Qingqing didn't care why no one had found him before. Now that she was in trouble, she would not let it
go. As long as they couldn't find this person, they couldn't live in peace.
Not only was he busy dealing with zombies, but he also had to deal with people of the same species looking for trouble?
Chen Qingqing was no pushover.
"I'll keep watch today." After cleaning up the dishes, Zhou Weiyue took the initiative to ask for leave.
No one objected.
The night passed quickly, and after half a month, they could finally stretch their bodies and have a good sleep.
When Chen Qingqing woke up in the morning, Lin Bo had already prepared breakfast.
Fragrant rice porridge, cold radish strips as salted vegetables to go with the rice, a large plate of stir-fried greens, and seven eggs boiled per person.
Zhou Weiyue felt a little distressed: "We don't have many eggs, right? Don't cook them for us, save them for Xiaohuan."
Xiaohuan was very keen on peeling eggs. He peeled one and put it into Zhou Weiyue's bowl first: "Auntie Zhou, eat it."
Zhou Weiyue was even more reluctant to eat it.
Chen Qingqing: "Don't worry, eat yours. It's not the time when you are short of eggs."
Zhou Weiyue didn't argue after hearing this. She took a bite of the egg and felt that she had never eaten such delicious eggs.
"By the way, Sister Chen, is there anyone in the village who raises chickens and ducks? We can exchange a few hens to lay eggs." Shang Li sat on the sofa and asked while holding the bowl of porridge.
Chen Qingqing paused.
She also thought about this problem, but a month later, the insect plague was rampant, and all living things except humans would be parasitized by insects and mutated.
These animals that survived the mutation would attack humans.
Therefore, raising livestock in the early stage of the apocalypse is definitely a dangerous thing.
About half a year later, the insect plague gradually disappeared, and the mutated animals began to evolve, and the parasites were evolved away.
The physical fitness and speed of the evolved mutant animals have been strengthened, but humans still cannot eat them.
Many people died suddenly because they tried to eat the meat of mutant animals.
Although not all people who ate the meat would die, gradually no one dared to try it.
In the end, everyone kept a distance from the mutant animals, and no one was willing to gamble with their lives.
As for breeding? That's even more impossible.
Chen Qingqing rejected Shang Li's proposal without thinking.
But Shang Li's words reminded her.
If there are animals in the village, it is very likely that the insect plague will bring trouble to the village.
Chen Qingqing has to find a way to gather the villagers and deal with the livestock in the village together.
The villagers must have thought that they were storing food, but they didn't know that they would become food for these livestock in a month.
"There are so many zombies scattered outside today. Should we deal with the zombies first or find the arsonist first?" Shang Li asked Chen Qingqing for her opinion.
Chen Qingqing put down her chopsticks: "Let's go next door first."
I don't know what the old lady wants them to do. It seems very urgent, so let's deal with the things next door first.
After finishing the meal, everyone cleared the dishes and left Qian Gan and He Chuan at home to protect Xiao Huan and Shen Shen, while the rest of them walked out of the courtyard.
Yesterday, the tricycle attracted many zombies away, and now there are only a few zombies at the gate.
After they easily dealt with the zombies, they came to the gate of the old lady's house.
The old lady who was sitting on the balcony in the sun early in the morning saw them, waved to them, and asked them to wait for a while with her crutches.
After a few minutes, the old lady finally moved downstairs and opened the door.
Vegetables were planted in the yard, as well as some wild flowers and plants.
"It's lilies!"
Zhou Weiyue bent over the flowers in front of the door, took a deep breath, and the fragrance of the flowers filled her face.
The next second, Zhou Weiyue's face changed, and she turned around and gulped.
"What's that smell!?"
