Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Chapter 214 Is there a thief? !
"No problem~just wait!"

Cheng Yao got up and took three more fish, marinated them and put them on the fire to bake.

The flames danced, making crackling sounds from time to time, and the aroma of grilled fish floated far away, attracting some uninvited guests from the mountains and forests.

After eating, the two worked together to make the excess fish into dried fish and stored it properly.

In the future, if the weather is bad and it is inconvenient to go out for food, you can directly take out the dried fish and eat it.

Because a lot of salt is added, these dried fish can be stored for a long time without worrying about spoilage.

Cheng Yao specially left some smaller fish and planned to make porridge with the river shrimps tomorrow morning.

After everything was settled, Cheng Yao brought Xiaozhu a soft quilt, and the two of them returned to their own residences to rest.

The breeze gently blew through the treetops, and the leaves swayed in the wind, as if whispering.

The chirping of insects in the grass has also become softer and no longer so harsh.

At this moment, the world seemed to have fallen into silence, with only the sounds of nature speaking softly.

Cheng Yao and Xiao Zhu had already fallen into deep sleep, completely unaware that something was quietly approaching here.

There was a sound of leaves rustling deep in the forest, and then a figure appeared in the clearing.

In the silence of the night, the black panther sneaked in silently like a shadow.

The body is strong and flexible, and the thick black fur shines in the moonlight, like a phantom of the night.

The golden pupils shone with vigilance, staring straight ahead, looking for traces of prey.

The black panther gently raised a paw and took a step forward.

After feeling the soft touch of the grass, he put down the other paw.

Its movements are extremely cautious, and every breath is gentle and slow so as not to disturb the sleeping person.

At the same time, the ears rotated alertly, capturing the surrounding sounds, and no disturbance could escape its attention.

The black panther gradually approached the bamboo basket containing fish and shrimp. This was the second day's rations that Cheng Yao had reserved for himself and Xiaozhu.

It lowered its head slightly, its pupils shrinking into thin lines in excitement, as if it was happy that it had found food effortlessly.

Just when the black panther was about to lower his head and have a meal, there was a commotion in the forest.

It's a frightened bird.

The black mass flew up from the treetops, and soon returned to the original branches.

In the quiet night, this kind of movement was a bit loud.

The muscles in the Black Panther's body tensed, and he raised his eyes and looked into the tent worriedly, as if he was afraid of Cheng Yao's sudden awakening.

However, such movement had no impact on Cheng Yao, who was sleeping soundly.

Cheng Yao, who was trapped in the soft quilt, just lazily turned over and continued to have her own sweet dream.

Seeing that there was no movement around, the black panther lowered its alertness, lowered its head again, and continued its hunting action.

In the quiet valley, the black panther did not attract anyone's attention.

After a full meal, the black panther stretched out his big pink tongue and licked his lips.

He cast his gaze on the dried fish hanging nearby, stood up straight, and took a tentative lick.

There was a strange smell in the mouth, and the black panther roared in dissatisfaction.

Then, I simply gave up, strolled to the river bank, and drank some flowing water.

After eating and drinking, the black panther shook his tail happily, turned around and walked towards the forest, disappearing into the darkness.

There was only an empty bamboo basket left outside Cheng Yao's tent.As time passes, the sun rises again.

As the night wears on, the colors of the eastern sky begin to change.

The originally dark sky gradually brightened, and a faint pink appeared quietly, like a gentle blade, slowly cutting through the silence of the night.

Against this pink background, the mountains and clouds in the distance begin to reveal their outlines, looking more majestic and mysterious in the morning light.

Wisps of golden light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the whole world.

"Ayao! Ayao! Come and see!"

One second Cheng Yao was still in a hazy sleep, and the next second she was brought back to reality by Xiaozhu's angry words.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Xiaozhu sounded anxious, and it was obvious that something had happened.

Cheng Yao didn't care about her messy hair and suddenly stood up from the bed.

"What's wrong? I'll be here right away!"

Her feet were frantically searching for shoes on the ground. After putting on her coat, Cheng Yao ran out of the tent in a few steps.

"I'm here! What happened, why are you so anxious so early in the morning?"

Before Cheng Yao could stand still, Xiao Zhu pulled her over and pushed her to the bamboo basket.

"Look, our fish has been stolen!"

"I was obviously still here last night, I remember it very clearly."

"There are thieves around here!"

Seeing Xiaozhu's angry look, Cheng Yao took a closer look into the bamboo basket.

It was indeed empty inside, not even a single wreckage was seen.

Cheng Yao immediately sounded the alarm in her heart. Is there anyone else nearby?
Excluding this possibility, it is that some large animal came here late at night.

No matter what the outcome is, it is a hidden danger.

If the other party is a human being and takes it for himself in the middle of the night without asking, the person who can commit such a theft behavior is obviously not a good person.

If you dare to steal fish today, you will dare to steal something else tomorrow, and it may even turn into murder and robbery!
Cheng Yao couldn't help but shudder when she thought that she slept so soundly last night and didn't feel anything at all.

Sleeping is the most vulnerable time for human beings. If someone takes advantage of this gap to commit murder, then you will have no chance to resist!

If the other party is not a human, but a beast in the mountains and forests, it is also an extremely dangerous existence.

The sharp claws and bite ability of the beast are no joke. Even if Xiaozhu has great martial arts skills, it is still very dangerous to encounter such a powerful beast.

No, if the fish thief is not caught, Cheng Yao may not be able to feel at ease in the future.

After thinking quickly in her mind for a moment, Cheng Yao raised her head and spoke to Xiaozhu seriously.

"Xiao Zhu, let's just wait and see tonight!"

"Since this thief stole once, he must have tasted the sweetness of getting something for nothing."

"Let's catch some more fish today and put them in the same place, waiting for him to steal them!"

"I want to see what is causing trouble!"

Seeing Cheng Yao's serious look, Xiaozhu agreed without hesitation.

"Okay! Xiaozhu will accompany Ayao!"

"We must catch the bad thief who stole the fish tonight!"
