"Village Chief, why are you here?" Wang looked at the village chief and asked, thinking for no reason, could it be that the village chief's family was also short of food? If it is the village chief, it can still be divided into two dumpling ears. After all, eating people is soft-mouthed, so when the village chief knows some good things, he is bound to think of them first.

"Many families in the village have run out of food, so I want to take this opportunity to gather everyone together to think of a way, and I don't have to come to all of them, just one person from each family."

"Okay, don't worry, the village chief, we will definitely pass on time when the time comes!"

Although Old Man Gu has been in the house, he has been paying attention to the situation outside, and when the door closes again, his voice of inquiry is heard.

"Dad, it's the village chief, let the family go out and discuss the problem of the villagers' lack of food tomorrow afternoon."

Old Man Gu looked at the food in the house, which was only sixty or seventy catties, and sighed heavily, if these foods were really eaten, I am afraid that they would be reluctantly rescued by the imperial court. It can be said to be a rescue, but in fact, it is only six or seven catties of food per person, leaving aside the completely inadequate food left as seeds: "Let Wensheng and Youcai go over tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Okay."

Gu Jiu was lying on the bed that night, and was suddenly distracted by a sound of rustling, and when he opened his eyes, there was a figure standing next to the cabinet at some point, carefully turning the cabinet.

Gu Jiugang wanted to get up and subdue him, and suddenly found that his body was softer than usual, and when he looked at it again, this person's back was very unfamiliar.

Since they had very little food outside, it took a short time for the man to get his things ready to go out. Gu Jiu saw the man's face when he turned around by the faint moonlight.

Although the other party couldn't see who it was with a black cloth, the eyes on the black cloth made her feel very familiar, she must have seen this person!

After the others left, Gu Jiu lay down for a while to make sure that there was really no one else in the house, and then quietly walked to the window, and looked out of the window in shock by the moonlight, and the five black shadows cooperated with each other to steal the food. This turned out to be a gang crime!

After everyone left, Gu Jiu hurriedly checked the food placed outside, and was surprised to find that the group of people had only taken half of the food.

When it was just dawn the next day, the entire Gujia Village resounded with a scream like killing a pig.

Old Man Gu was awakened by Zhao's family, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "What are you calling blindly in the morning? Like what words! ”

"Daddy, Grain, Grain......"

Hearing Zhao's mention of food, Old Man Gu suddenly sobered up, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran over barefoot. When he saw that there was only one bag of multigrain flour left, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

"Daddy! Father! Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and shook it vigorously. The old lady Gu, who came out when she heard the movement, saw this scene and thought that something had happened to the old man Gu, so she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Mother! Mother, don't scare me! ”

Zhao was so shocked that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and it took a long time before he remembered to go out and call someone.

After Gu Jiu was here, Ye Qing also found that there was less food after waking up.

"Xiao Jiu, did we get into the thief last night?"

Gu Jiu nodded: "I just heard the voice of the second aunt, and I think this matter will not be the only one." We'll see what's going on in the afternoon when everyone gets together. ”

Originally, the family only needed one person, but in the afternoon, everyone in the family could talk, and the small open space was full of people.

"Village chief, my family has only eaten one meal a day for almost a week, and now there are thieves coming to steal food! What can I do on this day! ”

"That is, this year's snow fell early, and in previous years, I could go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, but now everything is covered by snow!"

"Village chief, more than 30 catties of grain have been stolen from our family!"

"What are you doing, our family is missing forty pounds!"

“……”

Gu Jiu listened silently beside him, but he didn't expect this group of thieves to be quite particular about stealing things. Those who have more food at home should steal more, and those who have less food should steal less.

"Village chief, you're saying something! According to the current situation, our villagers can't support the imperial court to send rescue at all! ”

"That's right! Wensheng, it just so happens that you are here today, you have read the book, you can think of a way for everyone, what should you do now? ”

"Wensheng is here too! Wensheng, tell me what to do! ”

Gu Wensheng suddenly came to the face, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "I think it's time to get everyone's food back first!" It is impossible for one person to have the ability to steal so much food in one night, there must be several people, maybe a whole family is dispatched. Let's see who has eaten better than before in the past two days, then whoever is a thief! ”

"If you have read a book, this brain is good. Then let's take a look at each other and see who is so lacking in morality! We're going to find that person! A person in the crowd raised his arms and shouted, and many people expressed their support in an instant.

Chief:......

Gu Jiu: ......

"Is it possible that those people are not from our village?"

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Gu Wensheng immediately felt like he was slapped in the face: "Jiu girl, almost every family in the village has been stolen from food, but no one has found out, which is enough to show that it was our village's own people who did it, how can people from other villages know us so well?" ”

Gu Jiu: ...... The people in the village go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and they sleep soundly at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the group of people use some kind of smoke, so it's strange that they can find out? If she hadn't slept in the middle of the night the day before, and the clock couldn't be adjusted for a while, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Everyone just remembered their suspicions after listening to Gu Jiu's words, but Gu Wensheng's analysis immediately dispelled this suspicion.

"Xiao Jiu, adults are talking about business, you female doll is not involved here!"

"That's it, this girl doll is bad, you don't know that she dug a big basket of wild vegetables before, and she didn't give me one!" Aunt Chen had just quarreled with her son at home, and when she saw Gu Jiu now, she suddenly remembered that she had asked her for wild vegetables a few months ago. Hum! If you don't give it to me, now I know it's wrong! I think who will be willing to tell you after your reputation is broken!

Hearing this, some people in the village who had lost their food and had nowhere to place their anger seemed to have found an outlet all of a sudden, and they began to accuse Gu Jiu.

Although the truth is that they are not willing to let Aunt Chen take advantage, it is not theirs who has been taking care of the wild vegetables for a long time! Besides, now that the snow is closing the mountain, it is even more difficult to find food, but Gu Jiu has found a big basket, isn't this selfish and self-serving without considering the villagers?

Gu Jiu: It's all very energetic, I originally wanted to take you to find some food in the fog area in advance, but now it seems that there is no need at all, let's be hungry for a few more days!

"Everyone, be quiet!"

The village chief walked up to Gu Jiu and patted Gu Jiu's shoulder comfortingly and continued: "What Jiu Yatou said makes sense, I found a small handful of burned ashes outside the house this morning. I suspect it may be some kind of smoke from another village, and everyone is sleeping soundly at that point, so this happened. ”

Hearing the village chief say this, the villagers subconsciously denied it, or didn't want to admit it, knowing that if it was really someone from another village who did it, then they would not be able to get back 100% of the food! After all, they don't have the right to search other people's villages! Therefore, everyone still prefers to believe that things were stolen by people from their own village!

"I know everyone is in a hurry, but the priority right now is to solve the food problem. The person who stole the stuff couldn't be found for a while, so I suggest that everyone go to the back mountain together to find something to eat together, and solve today's dinner first! We have more people and more strength, and it is definitely better than looking for them individually. ”

Hearing this, no one refuted, and they all quietly and honestly followed the village chief to the back mountain.

"If you have money, you said that if our villagers are really starving to death, your daughter-in-law can't see death without help!" On the road, a person who heard Zhao Xiu'er's amplified words couldn't help but ask. To be honest, he originally wanted to take advantage of today's order for food from the Zhao family, but he didn't expect this person to come on such an important day!

Hearing this, several people next to him turned their heads one after another, they just didn't say it, it didn't mean that they had forgotten what Zhao Xiu'er said that day. Seeing that Gu Youcai didn't speak, the people on the side immediately began to pursue and flatter.

"You have money, you said that who in our village has your life, and you can find such a good wife!"

"That's it, that day, fortunately, I didn't listen to the village chief's words to buy food, otherwise, I really spent my money in vain!"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Gu Youcai had enjoyed this treatment, and he was soon lifted to the ground, and immediately forgot all the words that Zhao had instructed before going out: "It's not as good as you say, it's all from the villagers, how can you see death and not help, that's unreasonable!" ”

"You have to be rich, I'll say you can rely on it."

"Yes, yes, yes, if you want to say that you should fight, if you come to lead our village, then we will definitely live better than the other villages!"

"Xiaoyou is at a good level!"

Gu Jiu: ...... Those co-authors only stole Wang's silver, and treated others like dung?

The snow in the north is very thick, and it took twice as long for everyone to reach the back mountain one by one footprint, and the back mountain with heavy snow is a little more dangerous than usual.

"Everyone pay attention to their feet, some places are empty, stepping on your feet is a trivial matter, don't really fall!" After the village chief gave the instructions, he let everyone disperse so that they could separate and find food.

But after looking for more than half an hour, everyone only had sporadic gains. Gu Jiu clasped his hands together, and just wanted to blow hot air on himself, when he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving on the snow in front of him. Gu Jiu looked at it, and then realized that the gray part was not a person's footprints at all, but wings! Estimating the distance, Gu Jiu was about to gamble, and pounced on it with both feet.

There was a sound when people walked on the snow, not to mention that Gu Jiu's whole person fell on the snow, and for a while, everyone stopped their movements and looked at Gu Jiu, only to see Gu Jiu slowly get up, and in his hand was a goose with gray and white feathers.

Gu Wensheng's eyes widened immediately when he saw the wild goose, how could there be a wild goose at this time? Even if there is, doesn't he have to find out first?
