Chapter 28 Late-night "Stranger"



There were not only shouts outside the door, but also the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps were chaotic, and it was obvious that there were many people, mixed together in a complicated manner.

A moment.

Li Fengbei's tall body was stretched like a strong bow.

He immediately let go of Qiao Anle, whom he was holding tightly in his arms, and turned over and got out of bed.

Land your feet firmly on the ground.

He picked up the coat hanging beside him with one hand and pulled up his trouser waist with the other.

And he spoke quickly to Qiao Anle.

"You stay home and look after the three cubs. I'll go out and take a look. Don't go out until I come back!"

Li Fengbei had experienced such emergencies countless times in the army.

It's almost a conditioned reflex.

That’s why we can make decisions quickly and decisively and remain calm in times of crisis.

But this time.

The man striding out of the room.

He suddenly stopped.

Li Fengbei glanced back at Qiao Anle and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Then.

His figure disappeared behind the door.

This short reminder was something Li Fengbei had never done before.

Now he is finally no longer alone, but has a family.

At home, he has his wife, his children, and someone who cares about him.

Qiao Anle's breathing was a little disordered, and her heart was a little confused.

After all, she was not Li Fengbei. She couldn't come back to her senses so quickly from a gentle and lingering deep kiss and immediately fall into a tense and chaotic situation.

Her lips still felt a slight burning pain.

There was still a confusion in her eyes.

In her breath...

There is also the breath of Li Fengbei.

Even the man's body temperature remained.

But……

The room next to her bed was empty.

Qiao Anle lay on the bed, staring at the thatched roof, and was stunned for a long time.

When the noise outside the door became louder and louder, he slowly got up and got out of bed.

She first looked at the small bed beside her.

The three cubs were sleeping soundly, just like the little pigs, and were not woken up by the noise outside the door at all.

Especially Sanzai, who was snoring softly, holding the candy wrapper of White Rabbit milk candy in his hand.

I couldn't bear to let go even when I fell asleep.

She straightened the quilt and caught the three cubs' little feet that had been kicked out of the quilt.

Although Li Fengbei told her not to go out.

But Qiao Anle couldn't help but feel curious, she wanted to go out and take a look.

Outside the yard.

As soon as Qiao Anle walked outside, he saw Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang.

They also came out in a hurry, their hair was messy, but there was no nervous expression on their faces.

After seeing Qiao Anle, he waved to her enthusiastically and asked her to come over.

Mrs. Chen asked, "Anle, Captain Li is out too, right?"

Qiao Anle nodded, "Yeah, I went out when I heard the noise."

Mrs. Chen patted her shoulder.

"This isn't your first time encountering something like this, right? Don't be afraid, it's okay. Your sister-in-law Zhang and I have been with the army for a long time. We've seen a lot of emergency assemblies in the middle of the night. It's okay. We'll definitely be back before dawn."

Mrs. Zhang also comforted him.

"That's right. Don't let your imagination run wild. If you're scared, come talk to us. Captain Li is so capable. He's just a grain thief. We can definitely catch him in no time."

Qiao Anle was not actually nervous or afraid.

But listening to the comforting words of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang still makes people feel warm.

She smiled and said, "Thank you sisters-in-law for your concern. I feel much more relieved."

A few people chatted for a while.

He immediately turned the topic to the grain thief.

"This grain thief is so bold! He knew there were half a military unit in our village, yet he still dared to steal our grain."

"Then you probably don't know. Our village has the largest rice harvest in this area. The neighboring village wanted to share the grain, but didn't get any. Those who want to steal the grain must have set their sights on our village!"

"Luckily, Captain Li made arrangements in advance. Not only did he let Fang Cheng sleep in the granary, he also had people patrolling at designated locations. I heard that the grain thief was discovered as soon as he climbed over the wall. He then slipped away in the dark, so they had to arrest him all over the village."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang came out early and had already heard most of the story. They could almost reconstruct the crime scene of the grain thief.

Qiao Anle also roughly knew what had happened.

But she had different thoughts in her heart.

Qiao Anle said, "Sisters-in-law, do you think the grain thief is from another village?"

"Of course! Most of the people in this village are in the production team. They will be distributed grain tomorrow. Why do they need to do such sneaky things?"

"That's right. And everyone in this village must know that Fang Cheng is sleeping in the granary. How brave must he be to sneak in!"

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang spoke with certainty.

Qiao Anle put forward a new idea.

"But this grain thief was able to get away so quickly. He must be very familiar with our village. If he was from another village, could he run so fast in the dark?"

As soon as these words came out.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang were both stunned.

The two of them stared at each other for a while.

Then he slapped his thigh!

"Anle! You're right! Why didn't we think of that?! Maybe he's from our village!"

"Anle! You...you...you are quite amazing! They say that two different people can sleep in the same bed. You and Captain Li are a perfect match!"
