Chapter 230: The Conspiracy of Evil
In order to implement her great plan, Zhou Qiaoli took great pains. She walked around the Xiliu camp, looking for a place where she could set fires, and in Zhou Qiaoli's mind, the ideal thing was to find people who were almost connected.
In this way, the forage pile of a family is burned, and the forage of other people's houses can not run, and the impact will be great, but it is a pity that the fine willow camp is sparsely populated, and when the house is repaired, the big guy is afraid that his cattle and sheep will not be raised in captivity, so they are deliberately avoiding neighbors, and each family is separated by at least half a mile of land.
In this way, no matter where Zhou Qiaoli does it, she can only burn the forage of one family, and if she orders the forage of several families in succession, the traces of arson will be too obvious.
Zhou Qiaoli didn't give up, she looked at it, and finally found a few hay piles connected together, that is, located in the west of the village, at the junction with Mu Ke Village, a few families on the edge of the ditch.
Because of the terrain, these families built hay piles together, and the hay piles of the three families were almost next to each other.
After Zhou Qiaoli stepped on the place, she chose a night, and while the Zhou family was asleep, she quietly slipped to the west of the village to prepare to set fire.
Zhou Xiaoli walked this road several times, and she was very familiar, so although it was a black light and a blind fire, there was no accident, what she didn't expect was that when she rushed to the place to prepare to set fire, the sheepdogs of those families barked.
Dogs are the most alert, during the day, people come and go in the village, and the shepherd dogs don't care, but in the dead of night, Zhou Qiaoli's footsteps are more sneaky.
Zhou Qiaoli was a little panicked when she heard the dog barking, in fact, the shepherd dogs were with the sheep, but they would not chase her and bite her.
But the person who did the bad thing was panicked, she hurriedly lit a family's hay pile, originally thought of fanning the wind to make the fire burn bigger, but the dog barked urgently, she didn't care about fanning the wind, and ran away in a hurry.
Zhou Qiaoli ran away, and the sheepdogs of these families smelled the fireworks and barked even more happily.
The owners of these houses soon came out to check on the movement, and in the dead of night, the sheepdogs barked loudly, either someone was stealing the sheep or doing some other bad thing.
This inspection found that their hay pile was set on fire, which scared these families enough, and once the hay pile was burned, it was not saved.
However, the pen of cattle and sheep is generally on the edge of the hay pile, and everyone can't take care of the hay pile, so they quickly release their cattle and sheep to rescue the cattle and sheep.
There were three hay piles in this place, one in a row at the moment, but there were only two sheepfolds, because the owner of the third hay pile was a bit special.
is different from what Zhou Qiaoli thought, the three families in this place do not belong to the Xiliu Camp, they are all residents of Muke Village, but the ditch is in the middle of the Xiliu Camp and the Mu Ke Village, so outsiders who don't know the situation think that these three families are from the Xiliu Camp.
The family with only the hay pile was a lonely old man. The old man's name is Chen Qiufeng, and his son died on the battlefield when he went to join the army a few years ago, so a few years ago, his wife left again, and he was the only one left in the family, and the pension issued by the government was enough for him, so Chen Qiufeng did not raise cattle and sheep.
The old man Chen Qiufeng was idle and had nothing to do, so he also built a hay pile for himself, because he used firewood and grass for cooking, and this hay pile was not used to feed cattle and sheep, but to reserve winter fuel.
Chen Qiufeng's two neighbors rescued their cattle and sheep, so they hurriedly gathered around the hay pile, shoveled soil and threw it into the fire, so as to reduce the fire, prevent sparks from flying around, and then set other things on fire.
In such a flash, the other families in the village also got the news, and the big guy got up to put out the fire despite the cold.
The people who came to help were from the Xiliu camp and Muke Village, and at this time it showed the benefits of the villagers' mutual help, and everyone did not distinguish which village and which village was where the accident occurred, and they all made a powerful contribution to help extinguish the fire.
How could that little fire withstand the tossing of so many people, one person and one shovel of soil extinguished the fire, the fire was extinguished, but the hay piles of these three families were also burned clean.
Village Chief Zhuo thought more far-reaching, he looked at the people at the scene, and found that the other two families had come out, but they didn't see the old man Chen Qiufeng, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, even if the old man Chen Xiufang was old and frail, but the fire was such a big thing, he had to show his face to take a look.
"Which of you is familiar with Lao Chen, go to his house to take a look, it's so noisy outside, why didn't he come out? Don't be unwell, what's wrong? Village Chief Zhuo kindly reminded him.
The people of Mukezhai didn't look at it, the grass in Lao Chen's house was burned out, and he didn't even come out to take a look, which was really abnormal.
There have been cases of lonely old people dying quietly at home before, and the big guys don't dare to delay, so they are afraid that this time it will be the same situation.
So he used an enthusiastic young man to go to Chen's house and knock on the door, knocked on the door for a long time, and found that the door was tied from the inside and could not be opened at all.
This couldn't help but be an enthusiastic young man, he took a few steps back and rubbed twice to run, and climbed into the courtyard wall of Lao Chen's house.
When he entered the courtyard wall of Lao Chen's house, the young man found out that something was wrong, the hall where Lao Chen lived was silent, but there was a thunderous snoring sound coming from the wing room.
Everyone knows the situation of Lao Chen's family, not only does he have no wife or son, but he doesn't even have any relatives who are closer, otherwise how can he be called a lonely old man?
Lao Chen's family is in such a situation, but now there are people in his family sleeping and snoring, and there is more than one, isn't it abnormal?
The young man was startled, and did not dare to push the door of the wing room again to alarm the two uninvited guests, but quietly retreated and told the big guy the news.
At this time, there were a lot of people fighting the fire, and almost all the people in the two villages listened to the movement, and everyone was taken aback when they heard that there were outsiders in Lao Chen's family.
Because Lao Chen's situation is clear to everyone, he has no relatives at all, who will enter the house and live in his house?
The village chief of Mukozhai also rushed over to put out the fire, and when he heard the enthusiastic young man say this, he sank his face, called a few militia members, and personally led the team to outflank him.
Recently, these villages are not very peaceful, not only the people in the town have been emphasizing winter prevention and winter treatment, pay attention to safety, Xiliuying has also had a murder, and now the murderer is still at large, but it is not possible to be careful.
The village chief of Mu Kezhai quickly grabbed two men with meaty faces from the side room, and these two men estimated that they had drunk too much wine and had not woken up from a hangover, and they were all tied up and thrown to the ground, still snoring.
And looking at the situation of the house, everyone was even more shocked.
