Chapter 229 There's a thief. Let's catch him in the urn
It was late at night and the village was unusually quiet. The man on duty outside the yard began to doze off by the fire. The brothers quietly opened the door and climbed out from the backyard as usual.
The moonlight was like water, and its cold light sprinkled on the snow. On the quiet village road, only the crackling sound of snow being stepped on broke the tranquility.
"Second brother, this is it!"
"Well, this house is rare in this area. It's really magnificent. I've come to the right place tonight."
"Old Five, you support us outside. If anything happens, send a signal and the three of us will go in and take a look."
They agreed that if anything happened, they would make a "chirp chirp" sound.
This courtyard wall is higher than ordinary courtyard walls. They were thinking about how to get in, and the fourth brother got a ladder from the tofu shop next door.
"Old Four, you are really smart. I will give you more of what I found this time."
"Second brother, come in quickly!"
So the second brother climbed up the ladder to the courtyard wall. Just as he climbed up and was about to jump into the yard, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. When he looked, he found that it was pierced.
"Ah..." The second brother exclaimed, and the third brother quickly covered his mouth.
"Shh! What are you doing? Are you trying to wake them up?"
"No, Lao San, look, there is something installed on the wall. Look, my hand has been pierced."
The second brother's hand was pierced by the protruding glass and blood was oozing out. Cold sweat was on his forehead and his lips were trembling. The third brother tore off a piece of cloth to bandage him and asked him to go down, and the fifth brother came up.
"This family is quite interesting. They actually placed such precious colored glass on the courtyard wall. When I go out later, I will dig out the colored glass. Maybe I can exchange it for a lot of silver."
Yao Qingnian didn’t know that someone had the idea of destroying the glass on her courtyard wall. When she heard the noise coming from the courtyard, she immediately got up. Someone broke in?
The door was opened from the outside. Yao Qingnian was about to make a move, but was grabbed by someone: "It's me!"
Lu Huaijin closed the door behind him.
"It's so late, why are you here?"
"There are thieves on the wall preparing to come in."
"how do you know?"
"You forgot, Whirlwind..."
"Who is so bold as to climb over our wall in the middle of the night?"
"It's probably one of the refugees. Let's not make it public for now. When someone comes in, we can catch him directly."
"Okay!" The two of them moved a stool and sat by the window, opened a hole and looked towards the courtyard wall, preparing to catch the turtle in the jar later.
After the experience of the second brother just now, the third brother and others became alert. They took off their cotton coats and put them on the courtyard wall, then jumped into the yard. After finding nothing unusual, they waved to the fourth and fifth brothers to come in.
After the three of them jumped in, they looked around the yard.
"Third brother, this yard is so big! Look, there's a swing. I wish I could live here for a few days."
"What are you dreaming about! Hurry! Separate and look for things." The third brother knocked on the fourth brother's head.
Several people first walked around the yard, one went to the kitchen, one went to the backyard, and another one stood outside Yao Qingnian's house and poked his head to look inside.
The man in the backyard saw the chickens in the chicken coop, but before he could be happy, he felt someone hit him on the neck. His eyes went dark and he passed out. Then he was dragged to the front yard.
Yao Qingnian, who was watching from outside the house, suddenly opened the window and met the man looking in: "Is our yard nice?"
"Yeah, it looks good." Uh, that's not right... How did this woman know I was here? Oh no, I've been discovered!
"Brother! Run!"
The fifth brother ran away. The third brother heard the noise and ran out. When he saw Yao Qingnian and his wife in the yard, he was also stunned and climbed up the wall like flying.
But there is a ladder when you come in, but not when you go out...
The two climbed for a long time but couldn't get out.
Lu Huaijin and Yao Qingnian stood in the yard and watched quietly, when Xuanfeng just happened to drag someone in.
"Master, there is another one outside the courtyard. Go and catch him."
"Well, let's go!"
The whirlwind disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, why are you so stupid? You can just carry him on your back and let him get up first, and then he can pull you up, and you can get out!"
"Third brother, that makes sense. Come! Come up!" Lao Wu squatted down.
"You have no reason at all. How dare you come to my house to steal things? I will beat you to death!"
Yao Qingnian picked up the stick he had prepared in advance and hit the two men hard. The two men cried out in the yard, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
"Help come! There's a thief!" All of a sudden, the whole village was lit up with fire, and nearby villagers rushed over.
A cornered dog will do something desperate. The third brother was beaten so hard that he was in pain all over. He rushed to the courtyard wall like a fly, but the wall was covered with colored glaze on all sides. As soon as he climbed up, he let out a howl and fell down again. It was even more miserable than not being able to climb up at all.
Jiang Jingyi and others in the house also climbed up, and when they saw the thieves in the yard, they came to help. After a while, the three of them were thrown in the middle of the yard.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
The second brother outside the yard heard something strange inside and wanted to run, but was caught by Tornado, who knocked him unconscious with a palm and threw him into the yard.
"Are they them?" After lighting the torch, Yao Qingnian was able to see the appearance of several people clearly.
"Do you know him?" Lu Huaijin asked.
"Well, when we came back two days ago, we either ran into bandits or a few of them. We let them run away that day, but we didn't expect them to show up at our doorstep today!"
"The one who injured Youcai?"
"Ah."
"Well, you robbed people from our village, and now you dare to come to my house to steal things. I'll beat you to death!" Liu Shuyue also picked up a broom and hit them.
Several people screamed in agony.
After seeing that it was Yao Qingnian, he cursed, "It's you again, you stinky bitch! Where is my big brother? Let us go now, or you'll be in trouble."
The third brother thought to himself, what an idiot the fifth brother is. Now they are already meat on the chopping board, but he is still talking so arrogantly. Isn’t he just waiting to be beaten?
"Oh, you've been beaten like this, but you still dare to threaten me. Then I'll give you two more blows." Yao Qingnian gave Lao Wu two more blows.
"Ah..." His face was distorted with pain and he could no longer speak.
I'm really unlucky today. Almost everyone in this room knows kung fu, and I met that bitch from last time. It seems like I can't go back today.
"Lu family, what happened?"
"Village chief, a thief just broke into our house and stole something, and we caught him."
At this time, except for the two people who fainted, the two who were awake were almost beaten.
"They actually dared to steal things in our village. They are so bold! Look who they are!"
"Village chief, I have seen them. They are refugees living in the scholar's yard!"
"Okay! We took you in with good intentions, but you're not grateful enough and you actually stole things. It seems like you were also responsible for stealing things from the villagers..."
