Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 323 Bottom Line (33)

Zhou Yian stayed with Ji Xiao in the village for two nights. They all had a very comfortable and relaxing time during these two days, especially Zhou Yian. However, after recharging himself, he still had to go back to work.

Therefore, on the morning of the third day, Zhou Yian got up early, washed up, ate the breakfast prepared by his grandmother, and then drove back to the city alone to work.

After Zhou Yian went back to work, Ji Xiao continued to eat and drink as usual every day, and her life became more leisurely and comfortable than in the city.

She didn't have anything important to deal with these days.

So she accompanied her grandmother for walks around the village. During this time at home, she wanted to cook, but her grandmother wouldn't let her, and she didn't want her grandmother to cook either, so Ji Xiao took the vegetables to the village restaurant and asked them to help prepare them.

In addition, when she has nothing to do, she will go to the fields to check on the growth of crops, and sometimes she will go to the small pond she discovered on the mountain.

It was a sunny morning with a gentle breeze, and Ji Xiao was in a particularly good mood. She carried a basket and walked leisurely towards the orchard.

As soon as she entered the orchard, Ji Xiao was immediately happy. She saw the fruit trees were full of fruits. They were sparkling with crystal light under the sunlight, as if waving to Ji Xiao, saying, "Come and eat me!"

Ji Xiao walked over happily, picked an apple, smelled it, and it was full of the fragrance of apples. She gently put it into the basket.

Just as Ji Xiao was enjoying the fun of picking fruits, she suddenly heard a noise that seemed to come from the other side of the orchard.

She stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see several workers arguing fiercely about something. Ji Xiao was curious and decided to go over to see what was going on.

Ji Xiao was holding a fruit basket in her hand. She walked towards the crowd with a puzzled look on her face and asked them, "Uncle Wang, what are you arguing about here?"

Hearing Ji Xiao's question, one of the men turned around, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "Oh, young boss, you're here!" The others also greeted Ji Xiao.

After everyone finished greeting Ji Xiao, they began to rush to tell Ji Xiao the reason for the incident.

"For some reason, chickens keep disappearing for no apparent reason recently," someone said anxiously.

"Yeah yeah."

Others echoed, "We have been guarding for several days in a row, but we still haven't caught the chicken thief."

Ji Xiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Have you checked the surveillance video?"

"Of course we checked!" someone quickly replied, "But the strange thing is that we didn't find anything abnormal in the surveillance."

"Yeah, yeah." The others nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiao then asked: "So when did this situation start?"

"It was discovered on Monday morning," someone recalled.

"So counting, it's been three or four days..." Ji Xiao muttered to himself.

She thought for a moment, then took out her phone from the basket and prepared to check the surveillance video. At the same time, she reminded everyone: "Except Uncle Liu, everyone else should go back. Those who need to work should work, and those who need to rest should rest."

As soon as the voice fell, people turned around and left. Some returned to their posts to continue working, while others went back to the factory's rest room to rest. Ji Xiao stared at the screen of his mobile phone intently, carefully checking the surveillance video.

Only the middle-aged man named Uncle Liu was left to accompany Ji Xiao to check the surveillance video. Ji Xiao stared at the screen intently, not missing any details.

Suddenly, she noticed a few small figures flashing past the chicken coop. Ji Xiao quickly operated the program, and through the zoom and slow motion functions, she finally confirmed that they were two weasels.

Fortunately, she had replaced the surveillance equipment on the two hills before, otherwise she would not have been able to capture the figures of the two little guys. "Uncle Liu, they are two weasels." Ji Xiao pointed at the phone screen and said.

"Let me see." Uncle Liu curiously put his head close to Ji Xiao's mobile phone screen, and after looking at it for a while, he said puzzledly: "But I don't see any holes in the chicken coop?"

"Well...Uncle Liu, is it possible that they will open the door by themselves?" Ji Xiao made a bold guess.

"How is this possible?" Uncle Liu said in disbelief. "The doors of these chicken coops are all locked. How could they be opened?"

"Then why don't we just sit back and wait tonight to see how these two weasels manage to be so quiet." Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Okay, then let's listen to the boss's arrangements." Uncle Liu nodded. He also wanted to know the reason. Since there was no better way, he might as well do as Ji Xiao said.

At night, Ji Xiao and Uncle Liu hid in the dark, quietly waiting for the two weasels to appear.

Not long after, two weasels appeared. They were very fast and could hide their bodies like humans. They were very smart. They worked together skillfully. One opened the door, the other let out the wind, and then they all got into the chicken coop, grabbed a chicken and ran away.

You can imagine how smart this thing is. It probably smelled the spiritual energy, and the chickens also drank water containing spiritual energy, so it must have come.

"Oh my god, they really did it." Uncle Liu said angrily.

"Don't make a sound!" Ji Xiao quickly covered Uncle Liu's mouth, fearing that the weasel would be scared away.

Ji Xiao and Uncle Liu stood up only after the weasel ran away.

"No, we have to find a way to catch them. And it doesn't look like there are only one or two of them." Ji Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Young boss, this is not easy to catch. Besides, this yellow fox is a social animal, there will only be more, not less." Uncle Liu was in a dilemma.

"Let me think about it..." Ji Xiao pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I got it! We can set a trap and wait for them to fall into it."

Ji Xiao and Uncle Liu took action immediately and set up some traps around the chicken coop. They made a simple cage with ropes and wooden boards, put some food in it, and waited for the weasel to take the bait.

The next day, when night fell, after dinner, Ji Xiao and Uncle Liu once again quietly sneaked to the chicken coop and found a secluded place to hide.

Not long after, the two cunning weasels showed up as expected. They approached the chicken coop at a very fast speed, then worked together to open the door and go in to catch the chickens. The whole process was done in one go without any pause.

"Haha, we finally succeeded!" Ji Xiao cheered happily in a low voice.

Seeing this, Uncle Liu rushed forward and quickly locked the cage door.

"Let's see where you can escape this time!" Uncle Liu said proudly.

However, when they looked closely, they were surprised to find that there were not only the two weasels in the cage, but also several small and exquisite weasel cubs.

"Oh, so they are a family, but where did they come from? I didn't see them just now?" Uncle Liu suddenly realized, and then said in confusion.

"I don't know either." Ji Xiao looked at the family of weasels quietly, thinking about something in her heart, but no thought was revealed on her face.

After a while, she finally said to Uncle Liu: "How about we release them tomorrow..."

But she suddenly changed her mind when she was halfway through her words, and continued: "No, this is too dangerous. What if they are caught by someone else? Let's send them to the wildlife nature reserve. I will call the professionals to come and take them away tomorrow."

Uncle Liu turned around with some surprise, his eyes fell on her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but in the end he slowly nodded to show his agreement.

Seeing that Uncle Liu agreed, Ji Xiao continued, "Uncle Liu, please prepare some food for them tonight. It's actually very simple, just cook it in water."

"Okay, no problem." Uncle Liu replied.

Ji Xiao nodded slightly, then turned and left. Before leaving, she looked down at the noisy weasel family in the cage and said softly, "Stop making noise, I'll give you food later. Tomorrow I'll send you to a good place with food and shelter."

As if they understood Ji Xiao's words, the weasels miraculously quieted down and stopped shouting.

The two larger weasels were seen protecting several smaller weasels underneath them, staring intently at the woman who the couple wanted to get close to but was afraid of.

Seeing that they stopped shouting, Ji Xiao turned and left.
