Chapter 68

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 rushed over, Gu Qichuan had already confirmed that no one was at home and had seen traces in the yard. He carried out the bicycle from the corner of the yard, but the other things could not be rescued.

“Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, where is the boy from the Zhou family, his wife, and their two children?” the captain asked at the door.

“They should have gone up the mountain, and so did the two dogs at home.” Gu Qichuan didn’t let anyone enter the yard, in order to preserve the 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 live there.” The captain sighed and said.

He knew that Zhou Yubai’s family was planning to build a house, but he wondered if they could do so now…

Everyone stood in front of the Zhou family courtyard for a long time. Seeing that they were really unable to rescue the patient, everyone went back to work, leaving Gu Qichuan to wait for Zhou Yubai’s family to come back.

Gu Qichuan sat down on the ground, recalling the people who were watching the fun around him like a movie in his mind. He was sure that none of them were suspicious and everyone’s reactions were normal.

Therefore, the people who came here to look for things and set fires were not among the people watching the fun.

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 that Zhou Yubai might have brought out?

Who is it? Has someone already made arrangements 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 smiled and kept praising Zhou Yubai.

Niu Niu kept saying, “Dad, you are awesome! Dad, you are great!”

Gou Wa kept laughing.

Niu Niu also said when she thought of it, 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 with them.

Xiao Hei and Da Huang were not idle either. In the afternoon, the two of them caught a lot of things and filled a large basket!

Shen Qingli picked some weeds to cover it.

Zhou Yubai was carrying the heaviest weight, while Shen Qingli was carrying a fish. The fish was actually very heavy, but Shen Qingli was very strong and it looked easy for her to carry it.

There were two small baskets, one each for Gou Wa and Niu Niu.

The family went down the mountain talking and laughing. When 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 instructed Shen Qingli, and asked Xiao Hei and Da Huang to follow the three of 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. The person who came seemed to be 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 quickly continued his patrol. Even Gu Qichuan, who had been paying attention to him, did not find anything unusual.

Zhou Yubai’s heart finally settled down.

As long as that thing isn’t taken away.

But, who is it?

Was it someone from above? Or did another force discover that this thing was in my possession?

Shen Qingli also arrived with her dog boy 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 her home also had a lot of delicious food and a little rabbit that she had not had time to eat.

Woo woo.

Niu Niu cried more and more sadly. No matter how Gou Wa and Shen Qingli tried to comfort her, Niu Niu couldn’t 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 the others lived before tonight.” Gu Qichuan said. “You can take the children there first.”

“Brother Qichuan, you go over with Ruirui and the others. We caught a lot of fish today. You take two of them over and Yubai and I will go over later to cook them.” Shen Qingli said to Gu Qichuan.

“But……”

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Don’t leave Ruirui and Niuniu, and take Xiaohei with you. Neither of them can act alone.” Shen Qingli warned.

Gou Wa and his family’s original house was not far from Li Po’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 the place where Gou Wa and the others had lived before.

Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai were the only ones left in front of the yard. The fire had been put out, leaving only black ruins, which looked a bit desolate.

Shen Qingli gently held Zhou Yubai’s hand. “Yubai…”

“It’s okay. The things I hid haven’t been found. It’s okay to burn the money. I can earn more.” 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 money with me, so they’re all here.” Shen Qingli smiled playfully, “It’s 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 have been burned. I’ll check our things.” Shen Qingli said as she went straight to the cellar.

Zhou Yubai called Dahuang and started the inspection.

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. The things in there were all 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 means that this person is from the village.

It seemed that this person had 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 more like a boy…
