Chapter 140: The Big Cat Puzzle
Looking at the firelight in the distance, a word instantly popped out of Wen Xu's mind: There was a fire!
After being stunned for a second, he immediately came back to his senses, so Wen Xu threw off his legs and ran towards Wen Shigui's mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Except for Wen Xu, everyone also put down their work at the first time, and if there were any available things at hand, they also brought them with them, and everyone ran towards the firelight.
At this time, you can see the results of Wen Xu's long-distance running these days, and Wen Xu, who took the lead, threw off the people who followed him for hundreds of meters.
Although he ran fast, when he arrived at the place, he only had the strength to pant, and he couldn't speak when he raised his hand several times, and he covered his knees and gasped for breath.
"Sheep, do you have any losses?"
When he could speak, Wen Xu hurriedly asked.
The one that should be burned has been burned out, even if you want to save the rest of the things, there is nothing to save, a few bare wooden pillars, and the kind that is burned in the black is about to carbonize, even if it is saved, it will be demolished in the end, and the only suitable thing for it is useless except to make it into charcoal.
There is a reason why the shed burns quickly, because Wen Shigui wants to save trouble, the roof of the shed is not anything else but straw, and the weather in the past two days is super good, this guy will be terrible if he goes up with a little spark, not to mention Wen Xu, these people came from such a big distance, even the fire at the scene is not so easy to save.
At this time, Guangcheng arrived, and in the end he was very good in terms of young physical strength. But he is only a person when he arrives, and when he arrives here, not only does he not have the strength to speak, but he also has no standing spirit, as for the people after Guangcheng, they all come on foot, and they are still out of breath one by one.
"There is no loss, the sheep are all fine, and we drove them out," Aunt You said.
At this time, Aunt You took Guangfang and her daughter-in-law Liu Yan and stood in front of everyone, now the image of the two people is not good, the upper and lower bodies are wet, and each holds a basin in his hand, Guangfang's basin still has half a basin of water that has not been spilled, not to mention on the face, it is like singing.
"That's a blessing!" Wen Xu heard that the sheep had no loss, and understood that the damage caused by the fire was almost negligible.
Wen Guangcheng gasped at this time, and asked Second Aunt You, "Auntie, brother, how did this fire burn?"
Aunt You said: "I saw a big cat, too big, like a little leopard."
Speaking of this, Aunt You stretched out a gesture and continued: "I saw that it wanted to take the lamb in the pen and took the family dog with a stick to drive the cat, and the cat immediately shrank on the roof of the shed as soon as it saw someone, and when it jumped, it brought down the horse lantern hanging at the mouth of the shed, and it was really a coincidence that the horse lamp cover fell to the ground and shattered, and the oil spilled out and it was all over at once."
At this time, Guangfang complained and said: "Mom, I told you a long time ago not to use horse lanterns, don't use horse lanterns, gas lanterns don't cost a few dollars!"
"Where did I hang the lantern?" Did your father tell you that the lantern in the shed was going to be hung on the lampstand, how many times did he tell you?" Second Aunt You stared at her son with an angry face.
Liu Yan saw that her mother-in-law was angry, and immediately pulled her husband, who wanted to continue talking, and said to Aunt You with a smile: "Mom, this matter is not right with Guangfang, but let's not talk about this at this time, the question now is what should we do tonight with so many lambs in our family?"
Second Aunt You heard her daughter-in-law open her mouth, so she didn't mention it anymore, pondered for a while and said, "It's all burned like this, your father-in-law will definitely come over."
Guangcheng asked curiously at this time: "Brother Guangfang, have you and your sister-in-law seen the cat that your sister-in-law said?"
"No, I was preparing to sleep with your sister-in-law in the house, and I came out when I heard my mother's shout, and when I came out, the fire was already up, and I didn't care about looking at any cat," Wen Guangfang said.
Liu Yan also said: "I didn't watch it either, I was stupid when I saw the fire, where did I still have the heart to see any cats."
Guangcheng listened and said: "Auntie, don't look at the flowers in the dark, where is there such a big cat, let alone a cat, according to your analogy, it is not a cat at all, but a leopard!
Second Aunt You looked at Guangcheng and said unhappily: "Although your second aunt is old, I am not blind, and my brain is not confused, I know what I see."
Wen Xu has seen leopards, although he is in the zoo, but when he saw Aunt You's comparison, he felt that this thing didn't look like a leopard, not to mention that it was like Guangcheng said, there may have been leopards or something here in Wenjia Village before liberation, even if there were at that time, people rarely saw them, let alone now? After liberation, even the trees in this large area are about to be cut down, where will there be leopards.
Hearing Aunt You say this, Wen Xu then understood why Guangfang said that it was her fault, probably thinking that the old lady was dazzled and saw something and mistook it for a big cat, and then she accidentally broke the horse lantern, which caused the fire.
When Aunt You saw everyone's disbelieving eyes, she immediately became a little angry, and opened her mouth to say, "I said such a big cat!
"Second aunt, there is no cat in our village that is so big, and the biggest one has the long tail of the cat you compared!" Wen Guangmin stepped forward and said to Second Aunt You at this time.
"You don't believe it, wait until one day this big cat takes your things, then you can believe it!" Second Aunt You said.
The ones that should be burned were gone, and none of the ones that should be burned were burned, and everyone looked at it for a while to help take care of it, and then left here one after another.
Guangmin and the others continued to go back to push the bricks, and Wen Xu naturally took the pillars home.
As soon as he walked to his mountain, Wen Xu saw Wen Shigui riding a bicycle and quickly coming to his side, shouting while riding: "Who is in front, let me go!"
"Second brother, it's me!" Wen Xu first stepped aside: "Don't worry, the fire is extinguished, and the sheep are not burned, but the shed is burned."
Hearing that the sheep that didn't burn his own just burned the shed, Wen Shigui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and got out of the car directly and took a few breaths: "Oh, seeing the fire here in the village, my soul is almost gone." What a blessing to burn only the shed?"
"The sheep were snatched out by the second sister-in-law and Guangfang," Wen Xu said.
"Then I know, thank you, Shixu" Wen Shigui pushed the cart back to his mountain, although he knew that he didn't burn the sheep, but Wen Shigui still had to see it with his own eyes to put his mind at ease, you must know that Wen Shigui's home has just entered hundreds of lambs, this is going to burn down, it is really enough for the family to cry with a headache.
Just staggered with Wen Shigui, Wen Xu continued to walk home.
Before he had walked a few steps, Wen Xu seemed to hear his sheep bleating on the cliff, a little far away, in such a quiet night, the sheep's cry came faintly, and he couldn't hear it if he didn't pay attention.
Wen Xu looked down at Dong Liang, only to see Dong Liang at this time with his head raised, looking motionless in the direction where the sound of the sheep came, and after listening to it for a while, he couldn't stop whining in his mouth, turned his head to look at Wen Xu, and his tail began to wagging violently.
"Let's go!"
As soon as he saw Dong Liang's movements, Wen Xu directly called Dong Liang, and when he heard Wen Xu's voice, Dong Liang immediately jumped forward and led the way in front, while Wen Xu followed closely behind Dong Liang and ran towards the cliff where he was herding sheep.
With the lesson just now, Wen Xu didn't run so fast, but just tried to maintain some physical strength.
When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, Dong Liang kept whining and roaring at a cliff in front of him, as if something was squatting on the cliff, Wen Xu looked at it by the moonlight for a while, but he didn't see anything, he took out a strong flashlight and shone it up, and found that forty or fifty sheep were crowded on a cliff, and he couldn't stop bleating.
"Wang!" Dongliang barked twice at the sheep on the cliff.
The sheep huddled together on the cliff heard the sound of the beams, and actually began to walk slowly down the cliff, jumping back and forth in a zigzag shape, and jumped to the ground from a height of twenty or thirty meters in a while, huddled together behind the pillars and bleated.
Dong Liang still raised his head, staring at one place and barking twice from time to time.
With the barking of the pillars, the sheep on the cliff came down from the cliff one after another, and after about twenty minutes, Wen Xu's side was already crowded with no less than hundreds of big sheep, and the little lambs had not yet been counted.
"I'm going to go!" Seeing these sheep, Wen Xu realized that he had put so many space sheep on this side of the cliff by now.
After sighing at the sheep, Wen Xu took the flashlight and carefully shone it on the cliff, and when it hit an old cliff tree, Wen Xu instinctively felt that there was something in the tree, but he couldn't see what it was.
"It's a hell of a day!" Wen Xu said as he looked at the motionless old cliff tree.
Wen Xu has space, but he doesn't have the ability to climb such a cliff to see what is hidden behind the old cliff tree, and that thing is still motionless, so Wen Xu can't harvest it even if he wants to!
It was consumed until the flashlight was no longer strong, and Wen Xu's last patience was gone.
"Let's go, go back, bring the sheep back to our shed," Wen Xu said to Dong Liang, then turned around and walked towards his shed.
After the pillar barked twice, the whole flock moved with it.
Bringing the sheep to the vicinity of the big shed, Wen Xu believed that even a leopard would not be afraid, even if it was a leopard facing hundreds of geese, it was estimated that it would have to be considered, not to mention that Wen Xu also put the pillars here.
Back in her own courtyard, Wen Xu saw Zhuo Yiqing sitting alone on the recliner in the hall, when she pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, she didn't feel it, she just nodded her head little by little, as if she wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep. Seeing that she looked at her side with wide eyes, Wen Xu thought that she had seen herself, who knew that she was just staring, not looking at anything at all, but with an expression of eyes open and closed, she didn't sleep.
"Why don't you sleep?" walked to the side of the recliner and said to Zhuo Yiqing in a soft voice.
Zhuo Yiqing opened her eyes and saw Wen Xu standing in front of her: "You're back!"
"Well, why don't you sleep," Wen Xu said.
Zhuo Yiqing said: "I'll leave the door for you, I'm afraid that if I sleep and latch the door, you won't be able to come in!"
Wen Xu smiled when she heard this, her heart warmed, she stroked a few strands of broken hair hanging from her forehead, and gently brushed it to her ear: "If the door is not bolted, there will be no problem, there are no thieves in Wenjia Village."
"Then I'll sleep" Zhuo Yiqing's eyes were half-open, which showed how sleepy she was.
Wen Xu saw that she wanted to stand up, but her body swayed again, so she reached out and stroked her back with one hand, passed the crook of her legs, leaned her head against her chest and hugged her like this.
"Where are you going?" asked Zhuo Yiqing in a daze.
"Your Room"
"Oh!" Zhuo Yiqing said, yawning, then shrunk into the warm cup, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Wen Xu carried her to the room, put her on the bed, lifted the quilt and covered her body, and then helped her take off her shoes, originally Wen Xu wanted to take off her pants too, not because Wen Xu wanted to do something, but he felt uncomfortable sleeping in his outer pants, but he stood on the side of the bed and hesitated for a while before giving up, gently exiting the room and closing the door.
Out of Zhuo Yiqing's room, Wen Xu went to the shower room to take a shower, and returned to the room to turn off the lights and sleep.
But in the middle of the night, Wen Xu heard something in the courtyard, originally thought it was his hallucination, who knew that the sound was getting louder and louder.
Sitting up from the bed, Wen Xu listened with his ears sideways, and found that there was really any movement, so Wen Xu got out of bed, took out a wooden stick directly from the space and copied it in his hand.
