Zhou family courtyard.
At this time, the people working in the fields had already seen the fire.
"Is that Zhou Yubai's home?" the captain asked the people around him.
"It looks like it!"
Gu Qichuan also saw it, and he ran back. Shen Qingli was at home today!
He was extremely fast and was the first to rush back.
When the captain and his men hurriedly arrived, Gu Qichuan had already confirmed that no one was at home and had seen traces in the yard. He carried the bicycle out from the corner of the yard, but the other things could not be rescued.
"Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, where is the Zhou family boy and his wife, and their two children?" the captain asked at the door.
"They must have gone up the mountain. The two dogs at home are also gone." Gu Qichuan did not let anyone enter the yard to preserve traces for later investigation. "The fire is too big. Nothing can be saved. Don't go in."
"Oh, Yu Bai and his wife were just living a good life when this happened. It's really sad."
"Yeah, the sky is falling now. Where are they staying tonight?"
"Captain, please think of a solution."
"Gou Wa and his family's original house is still empty, let them move in." The captain said with a sigh.
He knew that Zhou Yubai's family was originally planning to build a house, but he wondered if they could do so now...
Everyone stood in front of the Zhou family's courtyard for a long time. Seeing that they were really powerless to rescue them, everyone went back to work, leaving Gu Qichuan to wait for Zhou Yubai and his family to come back.
Gu Qichuan sat down on the ground, recalling the people around him who were having fun just now like a movie in his mind. He was sure that no one was suspicious and everyone's reactions were normal.
So, the people who come here to look for things and set fires are not among those who are watching the excitement.
Just exclude those who didn't come.
Gu Qichuan frowned. What was that person looking for?
Could it be that he was also after the thing Zhou Yubai might bring out?
Who is it? Has someone already reached out and arranged it in advance?
The more Gu Qichuan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
In the mountains.
Zhou Yubai successfully caught a basket full of fish, including seven or eight big fish and some small fish. Shen Qingli wanted to eat small fish sauce and rice, so Zhou Yubai specially made a small basket for the small fish.
Shen Qingli kept praising Zhou Yubai with a smile on her face.
Niu Niu kept saying, "Dad, you are great, Dad, you are amazing!"
Gou Wa kept laughing.
Niu Niu remembered and said, Brother, you are great too!
The family of four had a great time, but considering Gu Qichuan who had to get off work, the four of them called Xiao Hei and Da Huang to go down the mountain together.
Xiao Hei and Da Huang were also not idle. In half an afternoon, the two big ones caught a lot of things and filled up a large basket!
Shen Qingli picked some wild grass and covered it with it.
Zhou Yubai was the heaviest, and Shen Qingli was carrying a fish. The fish was actually very heavy, but Shen Qingli was very strong, so it looked easy for her to carry it.
There were two small baskets, Gou Wa and Niu Niu each carried one.
The family went down the mountain talking and laughing, until they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw black smoke coming out of their yard and realized something was wrong.
"Slow down, I'll go over and take a look." Zhou Yubai reminded Shen Qingli, and asked Xiao Hei and Da Huang to follow them before running back quickly.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw my house was almost burned down...
Gu Qichuan stepped forward and said, "After you left in the afternoon, someone entered the yard. The yard was full of traces of digging. It seemed that the person who came was looking for something."
Gu Qichuan has been paying attention to Zhou Yubai's reaction.
When Zhou Yubai heard this, he rushed into the yard, looked at the potholes in the yard, then looked at a corner, and soon continued his patrol. Even Gu Qichuan, who had been paying attention to him, did not find anything unusual.
Zhou Yubai's hanging heart finally settled down.
As long as that thing is not taken away.
But, who is it?
Was it the people above? Or did another force discover that this thing was in my possession?
Shen Qingli also arrived with Gou Wa and Niuniu.
Seeing her home become like this, Niu Niu burst into tears.
She was so sad. Her home, the warm home she had worked so hard to get, was destroyed. Her clothes, her notebooks and pens, and the many delicious foods in her home, as well as the little rabbit she had not had time to eat, were all gone.
Woo woo.
Niu Niu became more and more sad as she cried. No matter how Gou Wa and Shen Qingli tried to comfort her, Niu Niu could not control herself and cried very sadly.
Xiao Hei has been circling around Niu Niu all the time. Niu Niu is his little princess. He hates to see Niu Niu cry and gets so angry that he wants to bite to death anyone who makes Niu Niu cry.
"Ali, the captain said that we should stay at the house where Ruirui and his friends lived before tonight." Gu Qichuan said. "You should take the children there first."
"Brother Qichuan, you go with Ruirui and the others. We caught a lot of fish today. You take two over and Yubai and I will go over later." Shen Qingli said while looking at Gu Qichuan.
"But……"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Don't leave Ruirui and Niuniu, and take Xiaohei with you. They can't act alone." Shen Qingli warned.
Gou Wa and his family's original house was not far from Mrs. Li's house.
Although Mrs. Li broke her leg, Li Yaozu's family was fine.
"Okay, don't worry." Gu Qichuan looked at Zhou Yubai deeply, put two fish in Niu Niu's small basket, and took the two little ones and Xiao Hei to Gou Wa and their previous residence.
Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai were left in front of the yard. The fire had been put out, leaving only black ruins, which looked a bit sad.
Shen Qingli gently held Zhou Yubai's hand. "Yubai..."
"It's okay. The things I hid haven't been found. It's okay if the money is burned. I can still make money." Zhou Yubai said. He gave all his money to Shen Qingli because he was afraid that she would get anxious and angry.
"I'm used to carrying all my money with me, so it's all here." Shen Qingli smiled playfully, "It's just a pity that our new clothes were all burned."
"You worked so hard to do this. I won't let this person go." Zhou Yubai's eyes were heavy. "I'm going to check for traces now. You..."
"I'll go to the cellar. It shouldn't be burned. I'll check our things." Shen Qingli said as she went straight to the cellar.
Zhou Yubai called Dahuang and started the examination.
In the cellar.
Shen Qingli looked at the things she had stored, still feeling satisfied, and quietly took out some rice, flour, and oil from the space. All the things in here were put there by her, and Zhou Yubai didn't know how much...
After coming out of the cellar, Shen Qingli went to check the things she had hung in the well, and they were all still there!
Shen Qingli frowned. The person who came would rather burn everything than take away the precious food supplies...which meant that this person was from the village.
This man seemed to have acted on impulse, so once he took out the unusual food and meat, it would definitely arouse other people's suspicion.
He didn't dare to act rashly.
Zhou Yubai had also checked the footprints and other traces, and he fell into deep thought.
Judging from the marks, she should be about 1.6 meters tall and weigh about 80 kilograms, with a shoe size of 39. Overall, she doesn't look like a woman, but a teenager...
