In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Chapter 46 Breaking into the House and Stealing Food

At this moment, on the mountain road to Qinghe Village, five figures were trudging along with difficulty. The mountain road was rugged, and their footsteps were of different depths, as if they were struggling with the earth with every step.

"Alas, the road to Qinghe Village is even harder to walk on than climbing to the sky!" One of them couldn't help but complain, his brows furrowed, his face full of fatigue and dissatisfaction.

"That's right!" A tall man with a striking scar on his face said, his voice full of ruthlessness, "If this trip is in vain, I will kill the Zhou brothers!" This man was Sun Ying's top thug, known as the Wild Boar. His words were full of threats and anger, as if they would burst out at any time.

"Brother, I also think that something is wrong about this matter." The man who complained earlier continued, "Where can we get so much food in these deep mountains and old forests? Have we been fooled by Zhou Da Zhou and Zhou Er?" A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously uneasy about the outcome of this action.

When the wild boar heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his clenched right fist creaked, as if one could hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other. "Zhou Da Zhou Er, you'd better not play tricks on us, otherwise they won't see the sun tomorrow!" His words were full of murderous intent, which made people shudder.

Seeing this, the younger brother next to him hurriedly flattered him, "Big brother is really awesome! With your skills, if you join the army, you will probably be a general!" His face was full of smiles, and his eyes were shining with awe and admiration for the wild boar.

The wild boar just snorted coldly and said nothing more. He continued to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his eyes revealing determination and ruthlessness. The surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling the antiquity and mystery of this forest. The footsteps of the five people also echoed in the forest, and seemed particularly clear.

The group finally arrived at Qinghe Village in the evening. The entire Qinghe Village seemed unusually quiet, without even a single oil lamp. It was obvious that everyone had fallen asleep.

"Zhou Da, where does Zhou Er live? We still need to find them to lead the way!" Wild Boar asked a younger brother beside him. This younger brother had been to Zhou Da and Zhou Er's house before to collect gambling debts.

"Brother! Zhou Da! Zhou Er is at the eastern end of the village! It's easy to find!" The younger brother smiled and pointed to the eastern end of the village. Fortunately, there was moonlight in the sky, so they could see the road clearly.

"Very good! Let's go!" The wild boar showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "If they dare to lie to us, they should pay the price they deserve!"

The villagers of Qinghe Village seemed to be completely unaware that a group of uninvited guests had intruded from outside. It was unusually quiet. Even the dogs in the village did not come out to bark. Wild Boar and his men did not take this matter to heart. Because in their opinion, in such a drought, people could not even get enough to eat, let alone raise dogs.

"Brother, that's it!" The younger brother walked forward excitedly. The four wild boars followed closely behind him. They came to a house in the east of the village.

"Tuesday, Wednesday, the two of you, get out here!" The wild boar stood in front of the house, knocking on the door with his hands, looking arrogant and domineering.

There was a noise in the room. Then, Tuesday and Wednesday walked out of the room. Both of them showed humble smiles on their faces! "Brother Wild Boar, you are finally here?"

The wild boar sneered, "You are the one who called us wild boar! Take us to the family you said has food! If you dare to lie to me, you should know the consequences!"

"Yes! Of course we know! Please follow me, brothers," Zhou Er said respectfully immediately.

The wild boar sneered disdainfully, "We have come so hard this way! I tell you, if you don't hand over the food today, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he waved his hand. The four younger brothers behind him followed Zhou Da and walked towards Lin Kunlun's home on Tuesday.

"Don't worry, brother! We definitely didn't lie to you this time! Lin Kunlun's family does have a lot of food! We only ask that after you get the food, you can share some with us two brothers! We two brothers can't even afford to eat at home now!" Zhou said with a big laugh.

The wild boar said coldly: "Don't worry, as long as what you said is true, I will definitely give you some food. Just prepare it well!"

"Thank you, brother!" Zhou Dahe Zhou Er hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The wild boar waved his hand impatiently, and Zhou Da and Zhou Er also hurried forward and walked quickly.

At this time, the wild boar noticed that the village seemed too quiet. No one noticed them when they walked by.

"Zhou Da! Are many houses in your village empty? Why is it so quiet?" the wild boar asked as they walked.

"Boss, you know that every household has no food now! They go to bed before it gets dark to save some food! We don't know when this drought will end!" Zhou Da explained as he walked. Even they themselves had no doubts, so why didn't the villagers come out to see it out of curiosity?

Wild Boar listened to Zhou Da's explanation, frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He looked around and saw that the houses around him were all closed with doors and windows, and there was a dead silence, as if the whole village was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

"No, even if it's to save food, it's impossible not to keep a dog or light a lamp." The wild boar thought to himself. His intuition told him that something seemed wrong here.

Just then, they arrived at the door of Lin Kunlun's house. Compared with the surrounding houses, this house even looked a bit shabby! There were only a few thatched houses in the yard, but the stone steps in front of the door were also cleaned up. It was obvious that the owner was a particular person.

"This is it, Lin Kunlun's house!" Zhou Da stopped and pointed at the house in front of him.

The wild boar nodded and signaled his brothers to follow. They approached the door carefully, fearing to alert the enemy. The wild boar gently pushed open the door of the yard. A smell of herbs hit them in the face.

"Why is there such a strong smell of medicinal herbs?" The wild boar was secretly surprised. He looked around and saw that the house was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Tuesday, light the torch!" the boar ordered.

Zhou Er quickly took out a tinder from his pocket and lit a torch made of pine branches. As the fire lit up, the scene in the yard gradually became clearer. However, the scene in front of them stunned everyone. There were many herbs drying on the ground in the yard.

The house was empty, the furniture was intact, but there was no sign of life. It was as if no one lived in the house.

"This...what's going on? You are not lying to me, why is there no one in this family?" Wild Boar asked Zhou Da who was standing aside.

The wild boar didn't say anything, his eyes scanned the house, as if looking for something. Suddenly, he saw a small thatched house next to it.

"Open that door!" said the wild boar, pointing to the solitary thatched hut.

Zhou Da and Zhou Er looked at each other, wondering why the wild boar was interested in the house next door. But they did not dare to disobey the wild boar's order, so they had to walk over carefully and open the door.

As the door of the separate thatched hut opened, several burlap bags came into everyone's sight.

"These should all be food! We saw him bringing food back from the town with our own eyes!" Zhou Da said happily.

Zhou Da ran over and prepared to open the grain bags to have a look. However, he knew something was wrong after just a light touch. The bags did not contain grain. After all, they were too light.

"This...what's going on?" Zhou Da's voice trembled, and fear appeared on his face. If he couldn't find food here, he would be in trouble today.

The wild boar didn't say anything, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, walked over quickly, and kicked the pile of grain bags. The pile of grain bags were scattered by him. Everyone knows that the bags are definitely not grain, but grass or something like that. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so light.

"Something...is wrong here!" The wild boar finally spoke, his voice low and cold, "We must leave here quickly!"

However, just as they were about to leave, a strange sound suddenly came from all directions. This sound was like the whispers of countless people.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" Wild Boar's face suddenly changed. He pulled out the knife from his waist and looked around vigilantly.

However, there seemed to be countless eyes staring at them in the darkness, making them feel extremely depressed and terrified. They didn't know whether they could leave this strange place alive...

Just as they were about to rush out of the house, several fishing nets came down from above, and all those who rushed to the door were caught in the fishing nets.
