The news that the thief had been caught quickly spread throughout the village. The villagers, who were having dinner, picked up their bowls and rushed towards the ancestral hall, just to see the freshest and hottest excitement.

Qin Yao brought Liu Yang and the others to the open space in front of the ancestral hall, but did not open the door to prevent thieves from desecrating the hall.

It was already dark, and torches were lit, illuminating the open space.

The two thieves, whose hands and feet were tied and hung on a wooden rack like wild boars, were suddenly awakened by the noise and immediately received a wave of spit from the villagers.

The two tried to speak, but found that their mouths were tightly stuffed with straw and they could not make any sound.

Qin Yao stood on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall and accused the two of theft with just a few words.

The villagers investigated the thief for half a month, and only today did they find out that the person who lost the things was the village chief.

Looking at the two thieves struggling violently like lambs to be slaughtered, the villagers let out sympathetic sighs.

Why steal from the village chief's house when there are so many things to steal from? You really don't want to take the path to heaven, but you insist on going into hell!

"Okay, now that the thief has been caught, everyone can rest assured. Thank you warriors for your hard work today."

Qin Yao nodded gratefully to Liu Yang and the others, and ordered: "Let's tie these two thieves to the big tree at the entrance of the village first, and I will personally send them to the government office tomorrow."

He then said to the villagers who were watching the fun, "Everyone please disperse and tell your children not to come to the village well tonight. These two thieves may hurt the children."

When the villagers heard that the children might be injured, they immediately became concerned and quickly took their playful children home.

Liu Yang and others tied Wang Wu and Zhang San to the tree trunk before leaving.

Qin Yao watched them go home until they disappeared, then turned around and reinforced the rope again. Under the murderous gazes of the two men, she punched each of them, helping them sleep until dawn.

Qin Yao blew on her hot fist, looked around, and confirmed that everything was correct before going home.

Yin Le and Dalang, the other two siblings, were still waiting for her to come back to have dinner together.

Seeing that Yin Le had actually completed five kilometers ahead of schedule, Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "That's quite fast progress."

Yin Le said modestly: "Master, the breathing method you taught me is effective."

Qin Yao sat down in an empty seat, picked up her chopsticks and motioned to everyone, "Eat."

But only Yin Le, who was already starving, picked up his chopsticks and ate the vegetables and drank the soup in big mouthfuls.

"Eat! Aren't you hungry?" Qin Yao looked at Dalang and his three siblings with amusement.

The four siblings all shook their heads. They were not hungry, they were just curious.

"Mother, are those two people actually thieves?" Si Niang looked towards the village well with a little fear. She had seen those two people before, but she never expected that they would actually steal things.

Qin Yao took two bites of rice and gave the little girl a piece of her favorite braised pork ribs. "A thief won't write the words thief on his face."

The three Dalang brothers looked over and listened to Qin Yao's explanation of how to discover the thief's true identity from the details.

Yin Le slowed down his eating pace and pricked up his ears to listen.

The more I listened, the wider my eyes became. It was another day of gaining knowledge!

"In the future, you can also use the methods I mentioned to try to observe the people around you, and perhaps you will make unexpected discoveries." Qin Yao said gently.

The four siblings immediately became interested and stared at each other without even eating. Qin Yao quickly stopped them.

He changed his expression and lowered his voice, "Eat well when it's time to eat. Awang is not at home, and if you get hungry at night, there will be no one to get up and make you a midnight snack."

Erlang muttered that he could do it, but soon shut up under A Niang's cold gaze, and obediently picked up the bowl to eat.

After the meal, Dalang suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, "Mother, are we going to ride with those two thieves tomorrow?"

Qin Yao was startled, "It seems so."

As soon as the words came out, the four siblings looked excited and expectant.

Knowing that you will be riding in the same car with thieves, not only are you not afraid, but you are actually excited and looking forward to it?

Qin Yao frowned. This was not a good thing because he had no respect for others.

However, it seemed that the children's courage was spoiled by her, because they knew that she was around and assumed that she would deal with any danger, so they were extremely bold.

"Hiss~" Qin Yao pinched her nose. She couldn't go on like this. What if one day when she was not around, and they were still so bold, she might die without knowing how.

Qin Yao was doing two things at once. On the one hand, she went to the room with the four brothers and sisters to check on their recent course progress. On the other hand, she was thinking that tomorrow she would let the two spies give these daring little guys a little shock.

So that they can know the dangers of the world and be more courageous.

At the end of the Yin hour, the lights in Qin Yao's room came on.

Yin Le had already filled the water jar and was ready to go back to work at the stationery factory, while Li was also preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

The sweet aroma of noodles filled the air. Qin Yao took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the children's room. "Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, Si Niang, get up!"

After hearing the response from inside the house, she strode towards the backyard.

They led the horses out, put them on the carriage, and went to the big tree by the village well first. They threw the two spies, who had woken up early and were struggling in dew-soaked clothes, into the carriage.

At this moment, if the two of them still don't know that Qin Yao has been pretending not to know and playing tricks on them from beginning to end, then all their professional training over the years would be in vain.

Seeing that Qin Yao actually sent her children onto the carriage and sat in the carriage with them, a light of hope immediately appeared in their eyes.

Qin Yao deliberately left Jinhua and Jinbao on the shaft of the carriage, urged the carriage to start, and carried the whole carriage full of children to school.

Knowing that there was a thief in the carriage, Jinhua and Jinbao curiously lifted the curtain and looked inside.

Zhang San and Wang Wu raised their eyes and looked over. Their fierce gazes frightened the brother and sister so much that they quickly retracted their heads and huddled closer to their third aunt.

In the carriage, Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang, Si Niang and others sat near the door, while Zhang San and Wang Wu sat at the innermost, leaving a "vacuum" zone between the two sides.

However, facing the fierce gazes of Zhang San and Wang Wu, except Sanlang who was a little scared, the rest of Dalang, Erlang and Si Niang were not afraid at all. They even boldly reached out to touch the ropes on the two men.

Unexpectedly, Zhang San suddenly spat out the straw in his mouth. In the brief moment when the brothers and sisters were still surprised, he put his bound hands to his mouth and quickly untied the rope with his teeth.

“Ah—”

Before Si Niang could even call out "Ah Mother", Zhang San had already grabbed her neck with great force.

The accident happened too quickly and the carriage was so narrow that even when Dalang reacted immediately to save his sister, it was too late.

Instead, Erlang bit Zhang San's hand hard, causing Zhang San to pause for half a second.

However, the next moment, Erlang and Si Niang were strangled by Zhang San at the same time.

Dalang watched as the pair of rough hands clenched tightly, and the fear of losing two relatives at the same time swept over him. His mind clamored to take action quickly, but his body did not obey at all and was completely frozen.

In a flash, the carriage that was moving forward steadily suddenly jolted violently. The people inside the carriage could not control their bodies at all and rolled into a ball.

Qin Yao pushed the door open and entered the car, where there was chaos.

Dalang was knocked down by the flying Wang Wu and almost couldn't breathe.

Sanlang rolled out of the carriage and was grabbed by Qin Yao and put down the carriage.

Zhang San's hands were still on Erlang and Si Niang's necks. The three of them were squeezed in the corner of the carriage. The brother and sister's faces were pale, their eyes were slightly bulging and red, and they looked pitiful as if they were about to suffocate.
