The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 90

[Chapter 90 Catch the Thief and Catch the Booty]

Gu Ye hurriedly said: “The mountain road is difficult, that mother-in-law may not be home yet! Uncle Zhang, it’s too late to go after him!”

Zhang Orion heard the words, opened the door and walked out. When he reached the door, he shouted to his son, “Go, invite the village chief! It’s not our family’s business to make trouble in the village!”

“Okay!!” Zhang Lihu agreed, He put his clothes on his body and trotted out the door. Gu Ye thought for a while, followed behind Zhang Orion and his wife, and walked down the mountain.

From Zhang Orion’s house to the entrance of the village, it would take a quarter of an hour to say the least. Zhang Orion and his wife accompany Gu Ye to talk, and it took less than a stick of incense. However, Zhang Orion is tall and has long legs, is used to walking on mountain roads, and has torches for lighting, and soon saw the staggering and flustered figure in front of him.

Aunt Wu was guilty of being a thief and looked back from time to time. When she saw the light of the torch, her face turned pale with fright, and she tried her best to run towards her house with her small feet. There was no moonlight tonight, it was too dark, she fell several times along the way, but still could not escape the fate of being drawn closer.

Seeing that she was about to be caught up, Aunt Wu knew that if she was caught and captured, neither she nor the head of the family would want to stay in Qingshan Village. In a hurry, she threw the stolen goods in her hand into the ditch next to her, and ran to the house with all her strength.

Just a shot away from her home, Zhang Orion caught up with her, stopped in front of her, and stared at her with heavy eyes.

Aunt Wu sorted out her flustered emotions and pretended to be calm: “Big brother, in the middle of the night, what are you trying to do by stopping me? Don’t come here, I’ll call someone!!”

“Hmph, I think you’re a thief. I’m shouting to catch the thief! Hurry up and hand over the things!” Zhang Hunter hunted wild animals all the year round, and his body exuded an intimidating blood. He took a step forward, forcing Wu Angelica’s daughter-in-law to take a few steps backwards, almost tripping over a stone on the ground and knocking her legs upside down.

Aunt Wu swallowed her saliva, looked down at her empty hands, and immediately straightened her back straight up: “What? Who do you think is a thief? Take the thief and take the stolen goods, who sees me stealing game from your house? ”

Aunt Wu, Uncle Zhang didn’t say what was lost in his house, how do you know what was lost in his house?” Gu Ye’s crisp voice sounded, and her petite figure gradually emerged from the permeating night, a pair of His eyes were as dark as night, with a gleam of wisdom.

Aunt Wu choked for a moment, and stubbornly said, “In the yard of Hunter Zhang’s house, what else is worth stealing besides the prey? Anyone with brains knows this!”

At this time, Zhang Lihu had already called the village. Chief, along with the three sons of the village chief. Li Hao, also dressed in messy clothes, followed behind to join in the fun.

Gu Ye glanced at Aunt Wu and smiled slightly: “Oh? Aunt Wu is a kind of person with brains? That’s why she threw away the loot when she was about to be caught up. If you have no evidence, I can’t do anything to you!” When

Aunt Wu heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she shouted violently: “Damn girl, don’t wrong people! You also said, there is no evidence, no evidence, Why do you say that I stole it? Just because I was walking outside and you bumped into me, whoever is missing something is all falsely blamed on my head?”

“Did you falsely accuse you and let someone follow the Wu family Look for it on the way to Zhang’s house, don’t you know?” The old god Gu Ye was staring at the mother-in-law of the Wu family. When she met this mother-in-law, the other party was coming from the direction of Zhang Orion’s house. She was sneaky and panicked.

“Brother Lihu, I’ll accompany you!!” Li Hao lifted his spirits, took the torch in his father’s hand, and searched carefully along the winding path. Aunt Wu’s face changed, and the panic in her eyes became even more intense.

“Even if I found it, it doesn’t mean that I took it, right? Anyone can walk this road, and you can be sure that no one has walked through this before me?” Aunt Wu insisted and made a final struggle.

Hunter Zhang snorted coldly and said, “My mother-in-law and I only packed up the prey and entered the house two quarters ago, and Xiaoye Ye delivered things to my house a quarter of an hour ago, that is to say, the thief only has a quarter of an hour to commit crimes and The time to leave. At this time, Mrs. Wu happened to be walking on the road leading to my house. So, Mrs. Wu, can you see anyone else?”

“Uh…then…maybe he escaped from another way, such as Escape to the mountain, and then go back to the village. After all, there are not only two families who know that you have hunted wild animals today.” Aunt Wu came to deny her account.

If you do, you will be kicked out of the village. Her family is now poor and white, and there is still a lawsuit outside. If they leave Qingshan Village, there is no way for them to survive!

She glared at Gu Ye fiercely, hating her in her heart. If it wasn’t for the dead girl who went to Zhang Orion’s house to deliver things at night, how could she have been hit? When Hunter Zhang found out the next day that the prey was missing, the game had already entered their stomachs, and there was no sign of them to be found. It’s all to blame for this girl, why didn’t God accept her and let her die at the border!

“I found it, I found it!!” Li Hao’s voice came. Immediately after, the two teenagers ran back out of breath. Zhang Lihu was carrying a pheasant that had been ripped off and gutted, while Li Hao was carrying two pieces of meat.

Zhang Lihu came to his father’s side and said, “Father, these things were found in the gully by the road leading to our house.”

There was theft in the village, and the village chief’s face was not honorable. He stretched his face and asked: “Danggui daughter-in-law, didn’t you say that the thief escaped from the back mountain? How do you explain these things appearing on this road?”

“I…I have something to explain. Which of your eyes saw that I took it? Even if the official decides the case, there must be evidence, right? If you convicted me just by walking around nearby, wouldn’t it mean to be unjustly killed? I don’t accept it!” , hold on to the end.

The village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, pouted and asked, “Sister-in-law of the Wu family, why are you not staying on the kang head and wandering outside in this cold weather?

” , No way!!” Aunt Wu was stubborn.

Jiang shi rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t you pay all your valuables to the rich owner’s family in the next village? Shouldn’t you live frugally? Why are you willing to support yourself? Could it be… …Your family has hidden secrets? Then hurry up and repay the 5 taels of silver owed to our family first, which is left over from the third brother’s hard work outside for a year. This silver is for the third brother and sister to give birth to milk, we But I don’t want to put my round stomach into my mouth!”

The third daughter-in-law of the village chief’s family is eight months pregnant and is about to give birth. When Wu Angelica’s daughter-in-law went to their house to borrow money, she cried like a dead mother. In desperation, the village chief lent her the money. This woman has a cheeky face, she took on a stalking attitude, and just borrowed more than 30 taels of silver from the village!

“Who… Who said that my family stole silver? Nothing! Didn’t you agree? Your silver will wait for the spring, and our boss will go up the mountain to pick up herbs and sell them and then pay them back?” The momentum weakened.

“If you don’t have money, how dare you open your stomach to eat? Shouldn’t you tighten your belts, save money and pay off the debt first? Father, I said you shouldn’t have lent them money back then. Look at what they are Do you want to pay back the money?” Jiang Shi looked down on Aunt Wu’s character, and because of borrowing money, she was so angry that she couldn’t eat for several days!

The eldest son of the village chief pulled his daughter-in-law’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t say a few words!”

Aunt Wu squeezed a fake smile: “Village chief, don’t worry, we will wait until the spring of next year. Your family’s money is still there. Is there nothing to do with me now? Then I’ll go back…”

“Wait!” Gu Ye’s voice was so clear in the empty and lonely night, “The theft of Uncle Zhang’s house. , you haven’t completely cleared your suspicions, so you can’t just leave! After all, you are the only one strolling around Uncle Zhang’s house at this time!”

“You bitch, you’re really full of bad water. No wonder the Liu family doesn’t want to see you! What suspicion do I have? If someone proves that I stole something, why would you accuse me of accusing me? Who said that the only people who came out at night were I’m alone, don’t you sneak up to Zhang Hunter’s house with something in your arms? Why don’t you say you stole it? Look at your sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, you look like a thief!” Calling to catch the thief, poured dirty water on Gu Ye.

Zhang Lihu sneered and said, “Little Ye Ye wants to eat game, but he still has to steal it? Don’t you know? Those two pheasants, and a basket of deer meat hanging under the eaves, were originally going to be delivered to the fifth grandpa’s house tomorrow. Yes, Xiaoye Ye came to our house tonight because he made fresh food for us to try.”

Gu Ye glanced at him and said, “Uncle Zhang is too polite, he sent so many game to our house, no What can be repaid, so I gave a bowl of food that Aunt Yan and I made new. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. Grandpa, the village chief, this matter can’t be left alone! We Qingshan villagers are honest, hard-working and kind, as the saying goes Said: A single mouse feces ruins a pot of soup, but it can’t promote a bad atmosphere!”

Gu Ye didn’t intend to kill them all, but this woman insisted on putting the crime on her head. Blame her for zooming in!

“There’s nothing she can do if she doesn’t admit it!” This mother-in-law was a hobhead. She was bitten to death and just walked outside, and no one got the loot, and the village chief couldn’t do anything about her!

“Aunt Wu, are you sure you’re only walking around on the road leading to Uncle Zhang’s house this evening and not going anywhere else?” The pear vortex on Gu Ye’s lips was looming, and his eyes twinkled with stars in the darkness.
