The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 175 The Thief Arrives

When they got home, Aunt Wang and the others had already left, leaving only Qi Xuan and Lin Chen at home. Fu Jingyi told them that the elders had accepted their proposal to repair the house, and Qi Xuan was relieved. "Brother Yi, if it weren't for the old man this time, we really wouldn't be able to explain it. Let's go visit them later."

"Yeah, that's right. It's not reassuring that there are only two of them living here, and it's so remote." Fu Jingyi also agreed.

"And Brother Yi, we have to thank him too, because he was the one who found the old man." Qi Xuan said as he started to look through the gifts he had brought back from Yundu. "I have to find something fun and give it to Brother Yi."

He found some small things, a few handkerchiefs and a hairpin, "Brother Yi, do you think these are okay?" Fu Jingyi had no opinion on these things, "You decide." Qi Xuan, who didn't get any opinion, had to pick some more and filled a small box. He also took out a jar of wine for the village chief.

"I'll let Xiaochen go with me later." Qi Xuan planned to send it over today. There was no point in delaying the gift. Fu Jingyi said, "I'll go too. After all, they are busy with my affairs."

Leaving Baiji to watch the house, the three of them walked towards the village chief's house. What they didn't notice was that after they left, someone was sneaking around near their doorstep and even tried to climb over the wall to get in.

The white jellyfish in the yard heard the unusual noise and roared a few times, scaring off the people who were trying to climb over the wall. It waited for a while, and when it found no movement, it went back to its usual place to continue basking in the sun.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, they saw Qixuan and his friends carrying so many things. The village chief also gave them a good lecture and said, "You kids, it's not easy to earn a little money. What are you doing?"

Qi Xuan didn't care and stuffed the small box into Yi Ge'er's hands, "This is a thank you gift to Yi Ge'er, don't worry about it, village chief." Then he handed the prepared jar of wine to the village chief, "This is yours, I brewed my own wine." The village chief didn't say anything to them and took it happily. He knew Qi Xuan's winemaking skills were good. Doctor Zhang had boasted to him before, saying that he had never tasted it before and it tasted very good.

Now he also got a jar, and he finally wouldn't have to listen to the old man bragging in the future. Qi Xuan saw the village chief accept the wine and said, "Village chief, since you have accepted the wine, you are not allowed to talk about Yi Ge'er anymore." The village chief was stunned when he heard this, but he was reluctant to give up the wine, so he could only wave his hand.

Lin Chen pulled Yi Ge'er into the house to show him these things. Yi Ge'er was also very curious, "Xiao Chen, I have never seen many of these, and there are none in the town." The conditions of the village chief's family were already very good, and Yi Ge'er was also spoiled since he was a child. But he had never seen the things from Yundu, and he was very curious about each one.

Qi Jun was also a little curious, but because of the presence of his brother Lin Chen, he couldn't go forward. Fu Jingyi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll go with you." Then he said to Lin Chen, "Xiao Chen, just leave it in the yard."

Lin Chen obediently placed the small box on the stone table in the courtyard, and Fu Jingyi found a dagger from it. Qi Xuan and the others must have forgotten it after buying it. The handle and scabbard were not inlaid with any gems. Yes, Qi Yue had bought several daggers before, and the scabbards had all kinds of gems, which gave Fu Jingyi a headache.

"This is for you." Fu Jingyi handed the dagger to Qi Jun, "But be careful with it, don't hurt yourself or others." Qi Jun was a little excited holding the dagger, "Brother Fu, are you really giving this to me?" He had always wanted to have a weapon for self-defense, but his parents were always afraid that he would hurt himself or others by mistake, so they never bought him one.

He had been saving his pocket money, but it was never enough. He didn't expect Brother Fu to give him such a beautiful dagger. The village chief also saw it and wanted to stop him, but when he saw his son's happy look, he didn't say what he wanted to say. Forget it, the child likes it, so give it to him.

"I'll take some time to teach you some self-defense moves when I come back. You can only protect yourself, understand?" Fu Jingyi was afraid that children of this age would like to be heroes, so he earnestly reminded him, "Remember, you can only protect yourself."

"Yeah." Qi Jun nodded excitedly. He understood what Brother Fu meant. He was not the kind of person who would act like a hero without thinking. Ever since the last time the blind bear almost hurt him, he knew a truth. When you don't have the ability to do something, don't try to be a hero for the sake of face. In the end, you will only hurt others and yourself.

After staying at the village chief's house for a while, it was getting dark, so they prepared to go back. The village chief wanted to keep them for dinner, but Fu Jingyi refused, "Uncle, everyone has worked hard today, we will treat you to dinner another day."

Before it got completely dark, the three of them hurried back home. When they reached the door, Fu Jingyi noticed something was wrong. "Wait." He walked to a courtyard wall, squatted down, looked at the fresh footprints on the soil and the stains on the wall, and frowned.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong?" Qi Xuan came to him and asked, "What's the problem?" He thought someone had opened the ice cellar to steal something, so he ran to check and found that the door of the ice cellar was locked. Fu Jingyi didn't say anything, and Qi Xuan was a little anxious, "What happened?"

Li Chao and Nehe also came over, looked at the courtyard wall, and pointed at the stain, "Could it be that someone climbed over the wall?" Qi Xuan then focused his attention on the place where Lin Chen pointed. He had just been busy looking at the ice cellar.

"It's true." Qi Xuan took a few steps back and looked at the top of the courtyard wall. "He probably didn't climb in. There's no trace of scratching on the wall."

"It should be Baiji who was scared away." Fu Jingyi stood up and opened the door. As expected, Baiji came over and rubbed against them, as if to seek credit. Qi Xuan rubbed its head, "Baiji, did you scare the thief away?" Baiji seemed to understand what he said, whimpered, and then squatted in the position corresponding to the footprints outside the courtyard wall.

Qi Xuan felt so relieved and ran over to hug Bai Ji, "I'll give you a chicken drumstick tonight, Bai Ji, you're awesome."

Fu Jingyi frowned as he looked at the courtyard wall. The wall of his family was higher than that of ordinary people's houses. When he was building it, he was afraid that someone would climb over the wall, so he asked the workers to raise it a little bit.

"Xiaoxuan and Xiaochen, you two sleep together tonight. Xiaochen, put all the valuables in our room. I will keep watch over you all night." Fu Jingyi never dared to be careless when it came to the safety of his family.

Qi Xuan and Lin Chen also nodded. Lin Chen went back to the house to pack up his things. He put all the silver jewelry in a box and then moved the box to the room where Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan lived.

"Brother, why don't we deposit all the money we have now into a bank? This always makes us nervous, and it's not a long-term solution." Lin Chen and Qi Xuan said as they put the boxes into the secret compartment of their closet.

Qi Xuan nodded and agreed to him, while thinking, 'How can I tell you that no one in this life can ever steal my money?'
