Traveling through ancient times: The rough man’s husband wants to post stickers

Chapter 43 Who is so brave?

The wooden house still looked like it had when it was stolen, and the chief led his people inside.

Not only were they shocked by the appearance, they were also surprised when they went in and saw the decoration inside.

This is completely different from where they usually live.

The chief pointed to a raised wooden shelf, "What is this?"

"This is the bed."

Qin Yao said.

The chief twitched his lips. There were no beds in their houses. They basically slept on haystacks, and some even slept on the ground with only a layer of animal skins on top.

"What about these?"

The chief pointed elsewhere.

"Here are the tables and chairs."

The chief's expression changed a little. They were all sitting on the ground, so there was no need for these things.

Just when he was about to curse, he heard Chu Cheng say: "The chief is here to help find the thief, not to visit our house!"

The chief said nothing in anger, but he had to say that the things in this wooden house were really good. He had never seen many things before. It would be great if all these things belonged to him.

"What's missing?"

"All the hides are gone."

Qin Yao had an angry expression on her face.

"Did the chief find any problem?" Chu Cheng asked.

"This... apart from being a little messy, I don't see much."

Chu Cheng sneered, "Didn't the chief notice the footprints on the ground?"

When they are hunting, they will pay great attention to the footprints on the ground, because this will allow them to distinguish the size and shape of the animal, and even identify what kind of animal it is, so this is very important to them.

As a chief, he didn't notice it immediately.

"Oh, I didn't pay attention just now."

After speaking, the chief lowered his head and began to look at the footprints on the ground.

This is a barefoot footprint without wearing straw sandals. From these footprints, it can be seen that the steps are very messy.

Because there is a piece of yellow mud in front of the wooden house, this person's bare feet were stained with a lot of yellow mud when he stepped in. The footprints at the door were heavy and messy. Maybe he was nervous and didn't notice it at the time.

"What does the chief see from this footprint?"

The chief was so annoyed with Chu Cheng that he couldn't see anything.

However, despite Chu Cheng's gaze, he still said bravely: "The footprints are quite small, they don't look like those of a man."

"The chief is right. I also think that if it doesn't belong to a man, it belongs to a woman. Now I have a way. Ask the chief to gather all the women in the tribe, whether children or old people, and compare the footprints one by one. In this way You’ll know who has been here as soon as you arrive.”

The chief thought he was right, so he immediately arranged for people to call all the women over.

These women were so confused that they didn't seem to understand what was happening.

After trying them one by one, only three women were left who matched the shape of the footprints.

"Chief, we haven't even gone in!"

"Yes! None of the things inside were stolen by us, and they have nothing to do with us!"

"Chief, we didn't do anything!"

The three women were frightened by such a scene, especially Chu Cheng's face, which was extremely ugly. They were afraid that he would hit someone.

"What are you arguing about? If it wasn't you, of course I would let you go."

The chief had a headache due to the quarrel between these three women. He looked at Chu Cheng, indicating what he should do next.

Chu Cheng felt it was a bit ridiculous. There was no other chief who could achieve his position.

"Has the chief forgotten that there is a woman who has not tried this footprint?"

"Who is it? Who is so brave that he doesn't even listen to my words?!"

The chief had anger on his face. He couldn't get angry at Chu Cheng and could only roar at others. "Chief, don't you still have your daughter? Our entire tribe is missing her right now."

When Chu Cheng said this, the chief remembered Qi Ying.

"How... how is it possible! Qi Ying will not do such a thing."

The chief defended his daughter. There were countless men pursuing her in the tribe. Was it necessary for her to steal Chu Cheng's things?

"How will the chief know it's not her if he doesn't try?"

Seeing this, others followed suit.

"Yes, Chief! You have to be fair and just, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public!"

The chief looked ugly and had no choice but to shout to Qi Ying who was hiding aside: "Come here quickly!"

Qi Ying's eyes were a little dodgeful. She didn't expect that she would be called out, but she still walked up and tried her feet.

"Hers fits too!"

“I didn’t expect Qi Ying’s footprints to be suitable!”

"Is she also a thief?!"

Everyone’s doubts were deafening.

Qi Ying quickly explained, "No...no! It's not me! I didn't do it!"

The chief obviously didn't believe that his daughter would do such a thing.

"How could it be Qi Ying? There must be some misunderstanding here!"

"If there is any misunderstanding, we will find out later!"

Chu Cheng looked at the four women with dark eyes, "I ask you, what were you doing the day before yesterday? You tell me first!"

He asked, pointing to the woman with a big nose and freckles on her face.

This woman's name was Hu Shan. Seeing Chu Cheng pointing at her, she was trembling with fear.

"I...I stayed in my room sewing animal skins that day and didn't go anywhere."

"Who can prove it?"

"I...my partner, and my children, they can all testify!"

Chu Cheng asked someone to call her partner and children over, and they all said that she was sewing animal skins in the house that day.

He thought for a moment, then glanced at her feet, and then asked the second woman.

This woman's name was Huang Ying. She said that she was hunting outside with her partner and was not in the tribe the whole day. People around her can testify.

When the third woman arrived, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chu Cheng, and her body was shaking a little.

"Head up!"

Chu Cheng's voice was very cold, without any warmth.

The woman was frightened and slowly raised her head. Only then did Qin Yao notice her appearance.

Isn't this the same woman who followed Qi Ying and bullied her when she first came to the tribe? !

"Tell me where you went that day?"

"I went out with Qi Ying and other women that day. If you don't believe me, you can ask them to testify."

"Yes, yes, we were indeed together that day, and we didn't go back until very late."

Qi Ying glanced at Qi Yi, and the moment their eyes met in the air, they immediately looked away.

"Since you are together, then call those women over and ask."

In order to prove his daughter's innocence, the chief quickly asked someone to call her.

Those women usually play well with Qi Ying, and even regard Qi Ying as the eldest sister in the tribe. She is the chief's daughter. As long as they have a good relationship with her, they can get some benefits in exchange for salt or other things.

Because they were actually together at the time, I can testify for both of them.
