The uncle and the others came to the house in a lively manner, chatting and laughing, and doing some sewing. The day passed quickly, night replaced day, the moon hung high, Sister Xi had already gone to bed, and Lian Ye
Xiaowu couldn't help but yawn all day long.
Because of the large number of people and to avoid suspicion, Tian Minyan made a bed in the guest room and asked her uncle to lead Tian Minrui's three boys to sleep there, while Gao and the other girls slept on the kang in the west wing.
.
The sisters-in-law couldn't stop talking, and Tian Minyan gradually fell asleep while listening to their chatter.
Everything was silent except for the insects hibernating in the grass, chirping softly.
It was nearly midnight, and Yangmei Village was quiet. Everything was dark, except for the moon that was looming among the clouds, revealing the slightest bit of cold light.
Suddenly, a black shadow quietly came out of a house and walked quickly in the alley of the village.
With a meow, a wild cat was frightened and jumped onto the roof. It frightened the black shadow, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.
"Get out!" Black Shadow cursed in a deep voice.
Meow, the wild cat was frightened and ran away screaming.
The black shadow watched it escape, then shuttle back and forth in the alley, running towards the target's house. Among them, a dog smelled an unusual smell and started barking.
The shadow walked quickly and soon arrived at one of the houses in Yangmei Village. He walked back and forth around the house with a peach tree in front of it, and finally found the best location.
Tian Minyan was awakened by a sharp dog barking. She was startled and opened her eyes. She felt that her forehead was sticky. When she reached out and touched it, it was covered with sweat.
Have a nightmare?
She exhaled, fanned the sweat off her forehead with her hand, closed her eyes again, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes again, sat up from the kang, raised her ears and listened carefully.
There seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling to the ground outside, very small and weak.
Tian Minyan glanced at the window lattice. It was dark outside, and the moon was hidden in the clouds. Her heart lifted, and she lay down again quietly, but her eyes stared at the window lattice without blinking.
After listening calmly for a while, the hairs on Tian Minyan's body stood up. She heard correctly, something had entered their front yard and tiptoed.
Although Tian Minyan was reborn, she believed in some things about the reincarnation of heaven and earth, gods and Buddhas, but at this moment, she would never naively think that the small noise outside was caused by ghosts.
Was there a thief?
Tian Minyan couldn't help but think of something wrong these days. She always felt like there was a gaze hiding in the dark, peering into their lives. Could it be that someone was thinking about them?
Yes, I am selling cakes, buying land, and building public huts. It is not unusual for someone to be concerned about this.
Tiny footsteps entered their inner courtyard. Tian Minyan lost her composure and glanced sideways at her aunt and mother who were sleeping soundly on the kang. After thinking about it, she touched the kang.
She quietly touched the candle on the table, took out the flint, and was about to light it, but her hand stopped again.
With this light, the thief will definitely be scared away, but there is a saying that you are not afraid of the thief coming to steal, but you are afraid that the thief will miss you. If you scare him away this time, what about next time?
Tian Minyan doesn't like this feeling of being cared about and spied on. What she wants is to get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise, who knows when the thief will come next time, and she doesn't like to be frightened.
She put down the flint and stood in the house. What should I do? My uncle is in another room. How can I catch this little thief? There are women and children in the west wing. My mother is still pregnant and cannot be frightened. What should I do?
?
Tian Minyan was a little anxious. Having adapted to the darkness, she quickly walked to the door and listened calmly to what was going on outside.
The little thief's footsteps were very light. Looking through the crack in the door, Tian Minyan saw a dark figure standing in the yard, looking around, as if thinking about something.
Tian Minyan's heart tightened, and she looked around with wide eyes. Unfortunately, there was no light. The thief was even more masked. He only wore black. He was about 1.7 meters tall, and his figure was a bit thin.
Looking over again, the thief seemed to have made up his mind and walked towards the main room. Tian Minyan felt happy.
When he entered the main room, he was going to catch turtles in an urn. Thinking of this, Tian Minyan quietly pulled open the door and opened it quietly.
She was small and thin, and there was only a small gap through which a person could squeeze out. As the thief pushed open the door of the main room, she ran out quickly, went to the guest room, and called her uncle and the others.
"Yan Yatou? What's wrong?" Luo Yaoguang sat up in a daze.
"Uncle, hurry up, there's a thief in the house."
"What?" Luo Yaoguang shouted, waking everyone up.
Tian Minyan secretly screamed that something was wrong, and when she heard from the main room, it was clear that the thief had also been alerted.
Luo Yaoguang didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He picked up the wooden stick placed by the door with his bare feet and ran out, just in time to see the thief running out of the main room.
The little thief obviously didn't expect that there was a man in the house. Seeing that Luo Yaoguang was strong and had a guilty conscience, he ran away immediately.
"Where to run?" Luo Yaoguang shouted, and swept over with a big stick.
When Luo Yaoguang drank, everyone woke up except Xiaowu and Sister Xi who were sleeping soundly. The lights in the west wing turned on, and Mrs. Gao's voice came out: "What's wrong? What's going on?"
"Auntie, don't come out." Tian Minyan shouted.
The little thief was about to run away, but was knocked down by Luo Yaoguang with a stick, right on his calf. He couldn't help but turn around with a fierce look in his eyes. He took out a dagger from his waist and pulled out the sheath. It was sharp.
The dagger showed its cold light in the dark night.
"Uncle, be careful, he has a knife." Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Minyan ran towards the kitchen.
Luo Shi and the others pushed open the window lattice and took a look. They were so scared that they were scared to death. They quickly opened their throats and shouted outside: "Come here, catch the thief, catch the thief."
As soon as they shouted, the dogs around them began to bark. When a dog barked, all the dogs in the village began to bark. One after another, the lights lit up in the darkness like fireflies.
"Damn it!" When the little thief saw this, he swung the dagger in his hand randomly, but Luo Yaoguang had a longer stick in his hand and kept swiping it. He couldn't get close for a while, but he was hit with a stick again.
Gao Nashi and the others were still shouting, but a gong sounded from somewhere. Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage, the thief flew a dagger towards Luo Yaoguang, turned around and ran back dragging his legs.
"Uncle, be careful." Tian Minrui shouted loudly when he saw it.
Luo Yaoguang leaned aside and raised his hand to block it. The dagger flew past his arm and fell to the ground, but he didn't care and just chased after it.
Tian Minyan came out from the kitchen with a kitchen knife and saw her, and couldn't help but chase after her. Luo Xiaotao and Tian Minrui also chased after her.
The little thief climbed over the wall when he came and walked directly through the courtyard door when he left. Even though his feet were beaten, his life was at stake, so he ran very fast. He opened the Tian family's door and ran out.
Yangmei Village has always had thieves in one place and came from all directions to catch them, so the public security in Yangmei Village has always been very good. I don’t know what year it was last time there was a thief. Now, I heard thieves in the middle of the night. They all looked like
Excited as if he had been beaten to death, the man rushed out with a wooden stick, a hoe and a kitchen knife.
The thief deserved his misfortune, so he ran out of Tian Minyan's house, and his neighbor Uncle Zhu ran towards him with a hoe. He hurriedly ran to the other side, and after only running a few steps, several people came running towards him. He couldn't help but feel
I secretly screamed bad luck.
"Catch him and beat him to death."
Someone shouted and the little thief was quickly surrounded. Tian Minyan chased him out and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't hit, don't hit me, oh, don't hit, it's me."
The thieves who were surrounded, punched and kicked screamed in pain, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Bring a lamp and pull his ghost mask to see which rat on the beam it is." Someone shouted.
"It's me, it's my bitch, oh, my leg is going to be broken." The thief quickly pulled off the mask on his face and screamed in pain.
"Gouzi?" Someone put the oil lamp close to the face and took a look: "Thank you Gouzi, it's you!"
When Tian Minyan and the others took a closer look, they realized that it was a new grudge combined with an old grudge. The thief was not anyone but Xie Gouzi who had picked mulberry seeds in front of them and sold them for money.
Tian Minrui was so angry that his teeth itched and he shouted loudly: "Thief, tie him up and take him to see the official."
"No, don't drag me to see the official. I haven't stolen anything. I won't dare to do it anymore." Xie Gouzi was immediately afraid when he heard the official. He quickly knelt down and said, "I won't dare to do it anymore."
Don't drag me to see the official, I won't go."
"No, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. If I don't drag you to see the official, you will come to steal and see the official." Tian Minrui snorted coldly.
"I won't come, I don't dare anymore, I promise I won't dare." Xie Gouzi kowtowed hurriedly: "Let me go, I won't dare anymore in the future. If I go to see the official, who will take care of my mother?
ah."
"If I had known today, why bother?" Tian Minyan sneered.
"Son, you are so unconscionable, you want to tear out my old woman's heart."
Just as he was talking, a cry came from the darkness. Tian Minyan looked over and saw a figure stumbling towards the east end. There was a daughter-in-law beside him who advised her: "Mom, be careful."
The thin figure pushed aside the crowd and rushed over. He grabbed Xie Gouzi and beat him for a meal. While beating him, he said: "You unscrupulous son, you are going to kill your mother. Everyone in your own village steals
, you want to make me angry to death. I will beat you to death for being an unworthy person."
"Mom, don't hit me, it hurts me." Xie Gouzi hid quickly.
"You deserve to die. Why do you want me to see your bastard father? You are a sinister and evil man." Aunt Xie scolded her while beating her. When she got tired, she sat down on the ground and cried: "Old man
Oh, why don’t you take my old lady with you first.”
"Mom, I don't dare to do that anymore, Mom."
Some people couldn't bear it anymore. You know, this Aunt Xie has been widowed a long time ago. It was not easy to drag this Xie bitch up with her shit. They said to Tian Minyan: "Well, Tian family girl, why don't you forget it?"
Well, I fought him anyway, and he didn’t get anything wrong.”
