The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Ping An stepped onto the horse with smooth movements, which made Lin Jingzhe extremely envious.

"Horse, what a tall horse!" Lin Jingzhe watched Ping An go away, "If we had a horse, Xiaoman, you wouldn't have to worry about the long journey to Jialin County to do business."

Lin Dajiang smiled and poured cold water on him, "Jingzhe, let's not talk about the price of a horse being forty or fifty taels. Horses are very expensive, and their food and shelter are also expensive. They are even more expensive than people. Can you afford to raise one?"

Lin Jingzhe patted his chest, feeling a little sad and a little happy.

"I will be able to afford to buy and keep horses in the future."

Lin Dajiang laughed out loud, "What an ambition."

Lin Xiaoman didn’t know whether Ping An could bring in any “helpers”.

She said this just to take advantage of Boss Gu's love for his son.

If one of the beagle fish slips through the net, what if his precious baby gets hurt?

Lin Xiaoman had no other choice but to lie against his conscience.

After returning to Shanglin Village, Lin Xiaoman called his second uncle Li Qiao and made him a bowl of sugar water.

Li Qiao refused to drink it, "This precious thing should be given to Guyu and Lidong."

"Second uncle, if you don't drink, you won't have the strength to catch people later."

"That's right, second brother, just listen to Xiaoman." Li Taohua advised.

In the past, whenever family members came to visit, Old Lady Lin would always gossip about them. Now that the family has split up, she no longer has to worry about other people's feelings.

During this time, Li Qiao looked at the rabbit nest and saw a palm-sized chicken in the chicken coop, and then he realized that his younger sister's family had really improved.

Two hours later, Li Shi led his elder brother and younger brother out of the mountain, avoiding people all the way and walked into the Lin family.

Li Taohua prepared dinner early and invited her brothers to eat.

Lin Xiaoman was a little disappointed. It seemed that he would not be able to wait for anyone from Boss Gu.

She asked Lin Jingzhe some questions and discussed with him about making some simple traps.

If the opponent is unlucky, the trap might come in handy.

Now it's a desperate situation, and one more solution is always better than doing nothing.

It just so happened that the four uncles were all experts in this area. When they heard Lin Jingzhe and Lin Xiaoman’s proposal, they couldn’t sit still.

Those who had shovels dug trenches near the wall, while those who didn't have shovels saw the bamboo strips in the backyard and used knives to sharpen them, ready to stick them into the soil after the traps were dug.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Jingzhe kept twisting the straw ropes, tied them into knots, and fixed them with wooden stakes at a position two palm widths above the ground.

Li Taohua was boiling water in the kitchen. If the previous methods didn't work, she would use this boiling water to throw at people.

The Lin family is busy.

Liujiazhuang.

Young Master Liu told Lin Xiaoxue the news that Liu San had brought the day before.

Lin Xiaoxue was absolutely certain that Liu San did not investigate thoroughly.

How could there be nothing in my uncle's house?

"Is there a cellar? Li Dali is a hunter, maybe he has dug a cellar."

"No, I have searched inside and out, and there is absolutely no cellar."

Lin Xiaoxue pondered, "Are you sure you searched every room?"

Liu San couldn't understand why Master Liu listened to the woman, and was a little indignant. "We searched all of them, but there was nothing in the three rooms except the beds. There was also an empty room with only two broken benches. There was some flour in the kitchen, but the dining table was crooked and had bricks on its feet. The main room was completely empty, and the thieves didn't even bother to patronize it."

Even though the family was so poor, the young master still asked him to search.

I don’t know why the girl from the second branch of the Lin family is so vicious and insists on instigating the young master.

"Impossible, could Binglengdong appear out of thin air?" Lin Xiaoxue was puzzled. After thinking over and over again, she realized that Liu San didn't search carefully enough and missed a place.

"Have you searched the backyard?" Lin Xiaoxue pondered, "There are also houses where people live. What if the cellar is under the bed? Especially my eldest sister's house, the entrance to the cellar might be in an unexpected place."

Young Master Liu also felt that what Lin Xiaoxue said made sense.

But he also believed that Liu San would not treat him perfunctorily.

He felt that Lin Dajiang's family was too cautious and kept the recipe so well hidden.

"Liu San, take a few more people with you tonight, and don't miss any suspicious places."

Liu San was furious, but he couldn't show it. He could only curse in his heart and nod and agree on the surface.

As soon as Liu San left, Young Master Liu poured tea for Lin Xiaoxue in a flattering manner.

"Don't worry, the yard is so small, and we will find a recipe for the cold today no matter what."

Lin Xiaoxue showed a bright and sincere smile, "Master Liu is still amazing.

-

There are few stars at night.

The Lin family was quiet.

Lin Guyu and Lin Lidong have already taken the child to Li Erli's house next door to be looked after.

Li Erli squatted in his yard with his ears perked up.

While paying attention to his own yard to protect the elderly and children at home, he was also listening to the noise next door.

The four brothers of the Li family squatted in a corner of the wall, using backpacks and haystacks for cover, with shovels and sticks in their hands.

Li Taohua and Lin Xiaoman hid in the rabbit hole.

Lin Dajiang squatted in the corner of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, ready to rush out at any time.

He is the head of the family. If anyone dares to hurt his wife and children, he will catch the person even if it costs him his life.

Apart from the rustling sound of the wind, the only sounds were the chirping of frogs and insects.

There were more and more mosquito bites on everyone's body, but the thief still didn't show up.

Just when the family thought that no one would come tonight, Li Shi, who was closest to the door, heard light footsteps.

coming--

It seems there is more than one person.

Li Shi held his breath, huddled his body and prepared himself.

Not knowing his opponent's skills, Li Shi didn't dare to show off.

They just waited for the thieves to climb over the wall and fall into the trap they had prepared in advance.

"Third brother, give me a hand."

"Hush! Keep your voice down, you little dog."

Bang, bang, bang, three shadows jumped down from the wall and ran straight towards the main house.

next moment.

"Oh, there's a pit here."

"Oh, what is this? I scratched my hand."

Liu San took a cautious step back, thought to himself that something was wrong, and turned around and ran.

A heavy hammer hit Liu San on the back. Liu San didn't dare to stop and dodged left and right.

When Li Shi broke through the haystack and rushed out, others also rushed over from all directions.

Li Shan went to help Li Shi.

Lin Dajiang, Li Qiao, Li Zhu and Taohua and her daughter rushed forward and held down the person who fell into the pit and was scratched by the bamboo.

Lin Xiaoman took the hemp rope that had been prepared long ago and tied the man up together with Li Taohua.

Lin Dajiang picked up a handful of hay from the rabbit hive, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into the two men's mouths.

The rabbit hutch stinks the most.

The two men screamed and groaned, and Lin Dajiang kicked them over.

Li Erli from next door climbed over the wall and saw that several big brothers of the Li family were fooled by the cunning thieves. He took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and escape over the wall.

He immediately leaped up and chased after them with several brothers from the Li family.

Outside the door, the thief who had just been so proud was captured by six knife-wielding yamen runners.

Ping'an and two strong men were just behind the bailiff, and he bowed to everyone.

"I heard from Master Gu that there are still beggars caught, so we've come here to arrest them." One of the square-faced yamen runners handed the thieves over to the other two yamen runners, waved his hands, and led the remaining three people into the yard, where they pulled up the two thieves who were tied up and took them away.

Lin Dajiang recognized the thief outside.

He worked as a temporary worker in the house of landlord Liu. The thief was Liu San, who followed Young Master Liu.

It seems that the one targeting them is Young Master Liu.

Liu San is not scary, what is scary is the young master Liu behind Liu San.

There is also Landlord Liu behind Young Master Liu.

Even if Liu San is arrested, there will be thousands of Liu Sans emerging.

As long as Landlord Liu stays in Shanglin Village, his family will suffer.

In that case——

"Sir, the thief outside is the servant of Landlord Liu, also known as Liu San." Lin Dajiang decided to do something big.

"That beggar is so bold, he must have someone backing him up. Besides, the beggar's money came from an illegal source, so he must have done something to manipulate it..."
