Chapter 246： thief

Hua Zhao heard the follow-up conveyed by Ye Shu one after another, and finally satisfied her curiosity.

She is also very busy now, busy going into the mountains to pick.

Autumn has officially arrived, the leaves have turned golden yellow, and large pieces have fallen, and all kinds of nuts in the mountains can be picked.

Pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, and various medicinal herbs.

The others were busy with the autumn harvest, but Grandpa Hua Zhaohe was very free. The two went up the mountain every morning and went down the mountain in the evening. Usually, they carried half a basket of things down the mountain. Sometimes they were unlucky and came back with a basket.

Of course it's all an illusion...

In fact, they would dump a few baskets of things every day, sneak up the path, come back from the mountain behind their home, hide their things in the barn, and then go home with a small amount of things on their backs.

This is Hua Qiang's idea.

Otherwise, people would all work to earn work points and have no time to go to the mountains. They would harvest a lot of big baskets first, and would be hated by others.

No matter how good people are, they can't be so miserable.

Seeing that the two "old, weak, sick and disabled" did not work, and the harvest was so poor, no one was jealous. Instead, he came to comfort them, and when they entered the mountain, he brought them something.

On this day, Hua Zhao came back first with his own deliveries.

This is usually the case. She transports it back and forth, and grandpa picks it in situ.

She saw the sneaky figure again.

She has found it twice recently. Someone was wandering in the mountains behind her house, looking at her yard, and left after a while.

She recognized that it was Hua Siniu's daughter-in-law, Wang Xiufen.

She didn't want to meet her before, so she didn't show up until she left. This time, Wang Xiufen waited for a long time and seemed to be in a hurry. She decided to meet her.

She put the basket behind the tree and walked out: "Aunt Si Niu, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly someone was talking behind her, which startled Wang Xiufen. She suddenly turned around and found that it was Hua Zhao, and she was relieved.

"You scared me to death..." Wang Xiufen whispered, clutching her chest. What she does is inherently dangerous, and her heart is always on her mind.

"What's wrong with Auntie?" Hua Zhao asked again.

Wang Xiufen didn't have time to say anything else. She looked around nervously and made sure no one was there, so she whispered: "You and your grandfather are not going anywhere recently, just stay at home! Lock the door at night too. Be careful, there are thieves!"

With this expression, she knew in advance that a thief was coming...

Hua Zhao asked, "Can you avoid the thieves by staying at home?"

Wang Xiufen was stunned for a moment, knowing that she understood, her expression was complicated and hesitant: "I don't know either, but these days, some thieves have attacked you, and they have followed into the mountains."

In the past few days, sometimes Hua Daniel made an excuse not to work, and sometimes Hua Siniu made an excuse not to work, but he didn't stay at home, and he didn't know what to do.

Wang Xiufen knew that Hua Zhao and Hua Qiang had entered the mountain again, so she guessed that the two were following and causing an accident.

However, Hua Zhao was lucky and was not found in the past few days.

What she didn't know was that it wasn't luck, it was a good lie.

The two of them, "the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled", said to the outside world that they were just looking for something on the periphery of the mountain, and they didn't gain much.

In fact, they entered the deep mountains.

The deep mountains are big, and there are many routes. Outsiders can't find it normally, and they don't go in together.

Anyway, Hua Zhao has not found anyone following her nearby.

"Is there anything else to say?" Hua Zhao asked.

Wang Xiufen lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Don't tell the outside world, I said it." After speaking, she blushed and left.

It was her family who wanted to harm her. Although she came to tip off the news, what kind of face was there? What if Hua Zhao couldn't escape and was killed? Their whole family, including her, is innocent?

Hua Zhao watched her back disappear, smiled, turned and walked quickly to chase after her grandfather.

She suddenly found that it was not safe to leave her grandfather alone in the mountains.
