Chapter 47 The Strange Thief

The little badger snored so loudly that there was no room for him under the bed at last!Xuanyue got up in the middle of the night, took the little badger, opened the window, and threw it far away!

"Ouch--!"

There was a scream in the distance!

After that, the little badger didn't dare to enter Xuanyue's room anymore, and it tactfully slept under the window of Xuanyue's room.It was quite cold at night, and it moved some hay from the backyard and threw it on the ground, and then slept in the haystack.

During the day, Xuanyue followed her father to work in the General's Mansion.Going home at night to abuse the little badger, and then hide in the room to practice.

Four or five days passed like this.

On the morning of the fifth day, Lin Ya held a family meeting!

"Damn, what important things do you have to say at this time? Xiaoyue and I are going to the General's Mansion. The credit card system has just started to be implemented. There are a lot of things going on in the mansion these days!" Xuan Zhongwu said.With Xuanyue's help, the new financial system of the General's Mansion began to be formally implemented.Simply put, it is to start lending and collecting debts!Over the past ten years, the total amount of money borrowed from the accountant of the General's Mansion is almost an astronomical figure. Although there are detailed records, it is not easy to recover these bad debts.What's more, most of the borrowers are people with some power and status in the General's Mansion. It's hard to imagine how difficult it is to pursue them!If the debts of these people cannot be recovered, others will naturally not pay back the money obediently.

"The financial problems of the General's Mansion can be delayed for a while, but the financial problems of our family cannot be delayed for a day!" Lin Ya said seriously!

"What happened? Although our family has a meager income, we have always lived in poverty with very little expenditure. How could there be financial problems?" Xuan Zhongwu was puzzled.

"When will the monthly salary be paid out this month?"

"There are still ten days! Every month is the end of the month, you know the day! Why did you suddenly ask about the monthly salary?"

"You go to the general's mansion today and find a way to borrow some money to come back, or there will be no rice for the house tomorrow!" Lin Ya looked embarrassed!

"How could this happen? Our family has always had very little expenditure, and half of our monthly salary is surplus! How could there be no rice to cook?" Xuan Zhongwu was extremely puzzled.His wife is a virtuous and virtuous wife who knows how to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family. Although his monthly salary is meager, Lin Ya has managed the family in an orderly manner over the years.There has never been a food shortage in the middle of the month.

"This..." Lin Ya was a little hard to say, but just looked at Xuanyue.

Xuanyue asked, "Is it related to the little badger?"

Lin Ya nodded.

Xiaobao blurted out: "The little badger is so edible! In less than five days, it has already eaten up our family's three-month grain stockpile!"

Xuan Zhongwu had an unbelievable expression on his face: "Is this true?"

Lin Ya nodded and said, "I didn't intend to tell you. The little badger has an amazing appetite. He has eaten up all the food in the house these days! And... all the chickens and ducks that were raised at home were eaten by him!"

Xuan Zhongwu said: "The food stored at home is enough for our family of four to eat for three months, which is equivalent to one person's one-year ration. The little badger is only the size of a kitten, how can it have such an amazing amount of food?"

Lin Ya smiled wryly, but did not answer.She felt that it was her dereliction of duty for not taking care of the family well.

"Throw it away!"

Xuanyue spoke suddenly!

She knew the financial situation of Xuan's family.Xiaobao is the darling of the whole family. It is very difficult for him to eat a meal of meat or an egg.Such a huge appetite of the little badger will only drag down the family.

"Ow!"

Little Badger suddenly rushed in from the door, waving his claws at Xuanyue in protest.

Obviously, it sensed something.

It's just that it doesn't understand.

Why does the owner want to abandon it cruelly?

Is it a sin to eat too much?

Lin Ya shook her head resolutely: "No! If we leave it alone, it will probably be eaten by wild animals! Its life is related to yours!"

Xuan Zhongwu frowned and said, "It's definitely not okay to lose it! But, it's not a solution if it goes on like this! Even if we don't eat, we can't feed it!"

Xiaobao said: "Sister, you can't lose the little badger. In the worst case, I will only eat one meal a day." He played with the little badger every day, and gradually developed some feelings.

Xuanyue said: "I didn't say to throw it outside! It's just that our family can't afford it's food! Since it's the size of an adult badger, it should be able to hunt by itself! We feed it in the backyard. Build a small house, break a small hole in the wall, let it go out to find food by itself, and come back to sleep at night!"

Lin Ya said: "This method is good! There are not many people living here, and there are often hares and voles. It can find some food and learn some survival and predation skills. As long as we don't leave home, we can take care of it, at least Keep it safe. If possible, give it some limited food every day."

"it is good!"

"Just do it!"

"This is impossible!"

Xuan Zhongwu naturally agreed.Now he has a subjective sense of identity with this daughter's claim!This young daughter often has extremely mature and sophisticated ideas and opinions, which amazes him!

The results of the family meeting are in.

The little badger had an amazing appetite and was decisively abandoned!

Of course, it was not driven out of Xuan's house.Xuan's family set up a nest for it in the corner of the backyard, so that it would not be eaten by wild animals in the wilderness.

This is a plan that has the best of both worlds!

However, a strange thing happened at Xuan's house the next day!

After Xuan's family got up in the morning, they found many potholes in the yard.There are about seven or eight potholes in the front yard and more than 20 in the back yard.The big potholes are like buckets, and the small ones are the size of watermelons.

"There are enemies invading!" Nervously, Xiaobao took out his sword for martial arts!

"Why did the enemy dig up the soil in our house?" Lin Ya was much calmer.

"It is impossible for anyone to dig nearly [-] earth pits overnight without me noticing." Xuan Zhongwu looked puzzled.His accomplishments in martial arts may be far inferior to his elder brother and younger brother, but he is also the second master of the general's mansion, and his skill is far superior to ordinary people.He was confident that no one could dig thirty holes in his house without him noticing, not even his father himself!

"Where did the soil go?" Xuanyue's eyes flashed faintly.

"What soil?" Xuan Zhongwu asked.

"Soil! The soil in the pit! Since so many pits have been dug, what about the soil in the original pit?" Xuanyue's thoughtfulness was far beyond that of ordinary people like Xuan Zhongwu.She saw the crux of the problem at a glance!

"Xiaoyue is right! His father, look at these pits, there are only pits and no soil! Where did the soil go?" Lin Ya said.

"Could it be a thief at home? Stolen our soil? To grow vegetables?" Xuan Zhongwu really had a headache!
