Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness
Chapter 86 Catching the Thief
"Zhao Laoer, my family picked a lot of plums and peaches today. Would you like to have some?" another woman asked.
"Yes, but the price is cheap. As you know, plums and peaches are the most abundant now and have begun to mature in large quantities, so the price can't go up any further." Zhao Laoer said.
He had harvested some plums before, but didn't make much money. Now there are more plums, and he has to think about how to sell these plums and peaches to make more money.
"Okay, I'll deliver it this afternoon."
In the time it took to be interrupted, Zhao Guocheng had already walked a long way.
At this time, Erbazi just came out of his house and passed by Zhao Laoer's ox cart.
Just by taking a glance, Erbazi discovered that there was meat on the back of Zhao Laoer's ox cart.
The meat was placed in a basket, and only a corner of it had come out. It looked like there was at least half a basket of meat.
Erbazi turned his head and looked for a long time, licking his lips again and again.
He is craving for meat.
That was obviously pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts. Zhao Laoer's family must have made a lot of money, as they were willing to buy so much meat.
Erbazi's eyes flashed and he quickly walked out of the village.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved and the second bully did not follow him, Zhao Guocheng stopped at the door of the old house.
They went in and found Zhao Dagen and Zhao Guochang to talk about the matter, and the three of them quickly reached a consensus.
Zhao Guocheng also took a piece of pork belly from the ox cart.
"Dad, third brother, use this meat to make toothpicks for the children. I cut two strips of meat today, which is enough for them to eat." Zhao Guocheng took out the meat with a smile.
"No, take it back and feed it to the children. There are many children at home, let them eat more." Zhao Dagen shook his head and said.
"Dad, take it. Don't be shy. The children are here. Remember what I said. It's enough for only the three of us to know. Don't tell anyone else in the family for now. Tell them after we catch him. It's okay. I'm leaving first. I have things to do at home." After Zhao Guocheng finished speaking, he drove the ox cart away.
"Oh, I see." Zhao Dagen nodded, knowing what to do about this.
"Dad, it turns out that Erbazi was the one who did this. No wonder everyone has been losing things recently. Could it be that the few eggs missing from our house were also caused by Erbazi?" Zhao Guochang asked with a frown.
"I don't know, but he probably doesn't dare to come. After all, there are several men in our family, and you are an old man who has passed the imperial examination. He doesn't have the courage. The second son was not at home that night." Zhao Dagen said, and then he invited everyone into the house and stopped talking.
I guessed in my heart that those eggs must have been taken by the eldest son's wife.
After collecting almost all the goods in the afternoon, Zhao Guocheng had dinner early and drove the ox cart out again in a high-profile manner.
Many people in the village saw it.
Naturally, this news was also known to Erbazi.
"Hurry up and wash up, tidy up and go to bed early. Everyone should be alert at night. If you hear any noise outside, don't move or shout. We all sleep in one room at night." Wang Ronghua said.
"I got it, Mom!" The children nodded obediently, washed up and went to bed.
Although they couldn't sleep, the children still pretended to sleep quietly.
Wang Ronghua woke up in the middle of the night and listened for a long time but heard no sound outside.
Zhao Guocheng, Zhao Guochang and Zhao Dagen lay in ambush in the yard, using backpacks filled with mountain products, cloth bags, and hay cut from the mountains to cover their positions.
The three people were scattered in three directions in the yard.
It was almost past midnight, and I thought Erbazi and others would not come today.
Unexpectedly, it was at this moment.
There was a rustling sound on the courtyard wall.
A few people cheered up and came.
The weather was nice today, and there was even a faint moonlight, so I could barely see what was going on in the yard.
"Come down quickly." Erbazi jumped down first.
Wang Ronghua was startled at this moment. She had been leaning on the window and watching since she woke up, and now she also noticed something unusual in the yard.
Zhao Shisheng also stood up, followed by Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shihui.
Wang Ronghua made a gesture to silence the children, and several children stood up without daring to make a sound.
Only Zhao Shiying slept the best.
With so many people here today, her little baby is of no use, so she should just go to bed and not cause trouble for the family.
Zhao Guochang originally thought that the second brother was too pessimistic, but he didn't expect that the second bully actually dared to come tonight. He was really brave.
Through the gaps in the hay, I could vaguely see Erbazi and another person coming to the kitchen.
"Hiss~" Shuanzi immediately withdrew his hand that was about to open the door.
Through a ray of moonlight, I saw blood on my hands.
"What's going on?" Erbazi frowned and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, it seems like I was pricked by something." Shuanzi frowned and said.
I took a look and saw that there was no movement in the yard or the room, and I finally felt relieved.
"It's a needle. Who would stick a needle in a door for no reason?" Shuanzi checked and found that it was a needle for sewing. He immediately got angry.
"Who else could it be? It must be the woman in this family. They are all lazy women. They can even put the needle in the wrong place. Let's open the door and take a look." Erbazi said in a low voice with a bad temper.
The two of them whispered to each other for a while and then opened the kitchen door.
I found the rice jar by the moonlight.
"Look at the rice jar in Zhao Laoer's house. There is so much grain. Hurry up, let's move it all away." Shuanzi said with a smile.
"He has a lot of money. What he has is not food, but silver. The silver should be in the room. Let me take the meat. Let's put these things in the yard first and take them away later." The second bully was greedy and wanted both more food and silver.
The two men came out holding a few cloth bags.
Without Zhao Guocheng's hint, none of the Zhao family members dared to act rashly.
Just when Erbazi and Shuanzi came out with the things, Zhao Guocheng moved.
"Someone come, there's a thief, come and catch the thief!" Zhao Guocheng shouted and rushed out with a thick wooden stick.
Erbazi and Shuanzi were so frightened that they almost let go of the cloth bags in their hands.
Zhao Guocheng rushed out and started beating Erbazi and Shuanzi with a stick.
In the yard, Zhao Dagen and Zhao Guochang also came out with sticks. They had prepared the sticks long ago and now they hit the two men with all their might.
Wang Ronghua, Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shisheng who were in the room also rushed out.
Just as the three rushed out, Zhao Shihui quickly bolted the door to prevent the thieves from being desperate and harming the weak.
Wang Ronghua went to help with a rope and contributed to subduing Erbazi and Shuanzi.
Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shisheng rushed out of the yard and ran towards the village, shouting to the whole village: "There's a thief at the end of the village, everyone hurry up and catch the thief, catch the thief!"
The shouting naturally alarmed the people in the village.
Many people put on their clothes and ran out with hoes and sickles.
Some people held torches and headed towards the end of the village.
The two children were very brave at this time. They said to everyone they saw: "My house has been robbed. Please come to my house to help."
Soon the villagers all began to flock to the end of the village.
At this time, in Zhao Laoer's house, Erbazi and Shuanzi in the yard resisted for a long time but failed to defeat many people.
The bolt was still tied up with a rope.
Zhao Guocheng and Zhao Guochang are tying up the second bully at this moment.
Erbazi knew he was in trouble this time.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, please let me go. I will never come to your house to take things again. Please forgive me this time." Erbazi knew that the hard way would not work, so he could only use the soft way.
