Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Yan Jiecheng told Wan Pingan what had happened last night.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Where's the trickery?"

"By the way, take me to the site and see if we can find anything."

Wan Ping'an thought of a possibility.

Evidence is needed.

Yan Jiecheng led Wan Ping'an to the location where Jia Zhangshi had her accident. Jia Zhangshi had her accident the day before yesterday, and they had been lying in ambush nearby last night.

"Jiecheng, you and I will split up and search the ground for any feathers."

Wan Ping'an gave his instructions.

The two went one east and one west.

More than ten minutes later, Wan Pingan found it again, finding a feather in the grass.

Yan Jiecheng also discovered that it was a similar feather.

The two feathers are definitely from the same bird species, and perhaps even the same bird.

"Brother Ping An, do you suspect that a bird scared Jia Zhangshi?"

Yan Jicheng guessed.

Wan Ping'an nodded.

"I heard from an old man that the thing that scared Jia Zhangshi was very big. If it was really a bird, it must have been a big bird. How could it fly without making a sound?"

"Besides, birds fly during the day, not at night."

Yan Jiecheng didn't believe it.

In the 1950s, with poor education and even lower levels of popular science, many people who studied birds professionally did not know that owls existed.

Wan Ping'an knows.

Owls are quite large, and due to their unique body structure, they are adept at nocturnal activity and fly without making a sound.

The two feathers found were also naturally shed by the owl.

"Go back and ask your dad if he knows what an owl is."

Wan Ping'an offered no explanation.

When Yan Jiecheng returned home, Yan Fugui looked worried.

Three old men drew lots for three small twigs. Whoever drew the shortest twig would be the bait. Unfortunately, he was chosen!

Tonight, he's going to act as bait.

"Dad, why are you sighing like that?"

Yan Jiecheng found it very strange.

"It's nothing. Why are you only just getting back? Where did you go again?"

Yan Fugui shook his head.

"Dad, do you know what a bird is called an owl?"

Yan Jiecheng did not answer Yan Fugui's question.

"owl?"

Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh.

"Yes, it's an owl."

"Why didn't I remember?"

"Owls are very special birds that are active at night and fly silently."

"What frightened Jia Zhangshi was not a prank, but definitely an owl."

Yan Fugui realized what was happening.

"Dad, what exactly are cats and eagles?"

"How did I not hear it being said?"

Yan Jiecheng, as you know, there really is a bird called an owl.

"You haven't heard of more than 1.7."

"By the way, go tell Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong that there is no trick at all, it's just an owl."

Yan Fugui went out excitedly.

He had just stepped out the door when he stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back home.

"Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong definitely cheated during the draw. They tricked me and made me go and act as bait!"

"I'll trick them too!"

"I know it's an owl, so I'm not scared. The other two don't know, and they're definitely scared. Let them continue to panic!"

Yan Fugui harbored resentment.

"Jiecheng, how do you know about owls?"

Yan Fugui found it very strange.

“It was Brother Ping An who told me. I told him about Jia Zhangshi’s encounter with the ghost, and he took me to the scene. We found two feathers.”

"He said it was an owl and told me to come back and ask you."

Yan Jiecheng did not hide anything.

Wan Ping'an did not ask him to keep it a secret.

"Jiecheng, go find Ping An and tell him that I want to trick Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, and tell him not to tell anyone about the owl."

Yan Fugui was not worried that Wan Ping'an would tell anyone.

Wan Ping'an is a reliable person.

He also has a grudge against Yi Zhonghai.

Wan Ping'an heard Yan Fugui's plan from Yan Jiecheng and naturally agreed.

"At night, when they go to arrest the people who are up to no good, I'll add an extra act for them?"

Yi Zhonghai had a grudge against him.

Liu Haizhong also collaborated with Yi Zhonghai to deal with him.

That night.

Yan Fugui led Yan Jiecheng, Liu Haizhong led Liu Guangqi, and Yi Zhonghai, along with Jia Dongxu, the six of them set off together.

"Wait, using me as bait is too risky, it could easily lead to an accident, you have to compensate me!"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, give me fifty cents each."

"Otherwise, I'll quit."

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Yan Fugui stopped and turned to face Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong conspired to frame him; he couldn't just obediently become bait!

Chapter 146 Abandoning Jia Zhangshi, she was so scared she wet herself again.

"Third Uncle, isn't this something you're doing wrong?"

“We had everything planned out. You would lure the people out, and we would protect you from behind. How can you just change your mind like that?”

Liu Haizhong was very unhappy.

Yi Zhonghai's face was also dark.

“I’m at the front, so I’m at the greatest risk. How about we make a deal? If something happens to me, you two will be responsible for my medical expenses.”

"I don't want the 50 cents if you agree."

Yan Fugui looked at the two people.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong exchanged a glance, then simultaneously reached into their pockets, each handing Yan Fugui five mao (0.5 yuan).

They all knew very well that if something went wrong, the medical expenses could be as low as a few dozen yuan.

Losing five cents can prevent a much bigger risk!

"Yan Fugui, we've already given you the money, let's go!"

Liu Haizhong urged.

"Let's go..."

Yan Fugui let out a scream and pointed behind the crowd.

"What are you shouting for?"

Jia Zhangshi emerged from the shadows.
